Chapter 1170: Chapter 846 Saint’s Weight_4

The risk is greater there, and the crisis is greater, but the rewards given by the World Will are also more.

The Nephite Realm also requires crossing the Endless Sea to interact with this realm.

“Indeed, the Endless Sea is teeming with strong individuals; only those with a Saintly Position have the qualifications to establish roots in the Endless Sea. However, we at Joles Group are merely a logistics group closest to the coast, primarily providing consultancy services to those who wish to cross.”

Ize Joles laughed, effortlessly discussing company business.

In a sense, those Saintly Positions curious about the Endless Sea are their premium clients.

“Oh, then why are you so interested in Extreme Ice City?”

“The Ice Crystal Ore of Extreme Ice City can enhance communication with weapons. If a large amount of Ice Crystal Ore is refined and purified, it can even help facilitate communication with Sacred Objects. Such goods are popular even in the Endless Sea.”

Without substantial interest, Extreme Ice City wouldn’t attract attention even without Saints.

Letting a few catastrophe-level ones wreak havoc can cause considerable damage.

Wars usually end in mutual destruction.

Tao Yu indeed knew about Ice Crystal Ore, but it merely represented monetary value to him currently without any deeper concern.

Seeing the disaster-level Ize speak with a noticeably excited tone, he thought that for ordinary catastrophe-level individuals, communicating with Sacred Objects might not be so straightforward!

Many catastrophe-level experts accidentally acquire Sacred Objects, only for them to end up mismatched and unusable.

Whenever encountering those possessing Sacred Objects, they are mostly prodigies, even those like the Lu Family old peculiar ghost have completed resonance with Sacred Objects.

It seems the value of such things is even higher.

After all, for large forces, solely trading in Yuan Force is hardly worth such efforts; however, items enhancing foundations, circulating internally, and absorbing internally, they surely won’t mind having more…

“Indeed it’s always better to refrain from ‘judging others by oneself’, as people are not the same.”

Tao Yu muttered to himself, then scanned the crowd and said

“Given its high value, are you here wanting me to relinquish the Ice Crystal Ore? Lu Family’s commitments have nothing to do with me; he is already dead, and attempting to seize them might lead to these things getting destroyed and polluted, correct?”

Transmission fees are expensive, and the transmission fees for Saints are even more expensive!

However, this belongs to the same Flame of Civilization transmission, solely heading to the Old Development Zone of Extreme Ice City would provide significant discounts.

Tao Yu hadn’t considered it before, but now thinking about it, it’s feasible if benefits suffice.

At this time, the black-robed, vigorous man cupped his hands and said

“Your Grace is a Saint, naturally qualified to partake. For us, conflict leads to mutual loss, so it’s best for everyone to take a step back and jointly share in the Ice Crystal Ore’s profits, while the other businesses of Extreme Ice City, we four families will draw four-tenths, one-tenth each, thus preventing Extreme Ice City from cornered desperate.”

Without needing additional actions from Tao Yu, merely by a Saint’s presence, intervening already signifies an implicit agreement to his share.

No bloodshed is required to earn one’s benefit!

Currently, negotiations merely concern attitudes towards Extreme Ice City, enabling various parties to reach an understanding.

In terms of strength alone, the three major forces with Saints undoubtedly have a crushing advantage over Extreme Ice City.

The lack of forceful action simply prevents acquiring an insubstantial mess, devoid of purpose!

Now they intend to provide Extreme Ice City a way out, handing over the most valuable mineral resources, along with other businesses for some shares.

Such shares, in a sense, are protection fees!

If negotiation succeeds, there’s no need for battle.

The few openly discussed their plans to divide Extreme Ice City in front of Xi’er, without considering their opinions.

It appeared that a decision here would suffice, and she merely awaited the outcome and notification!

Glancing at Yan Xin who was kneading feet beside Tao Yu, Xi’er couldn’t help speaking

“Reporting to the Saint, Xi’er has something to say.”

“Hmm, speak.”

Tao Yu casually waved his hand, while the black-robed vigorous man obediently kept silent, not daring to speak further, bowing his head respectfully.

Though he was of catastrophe level, facing a Saint, he dared not act rashly!

Politeness was the directive he received this time!

“Our Extreme Ice City can no longer defend the Ice Crystal Ore; it’s only fair to cede them due to insufficient strength. Even for other Yuan Force yields, we are willing to give up half of the net profit, but, we wish for commitments not to harm our ancestor…”

Xi’er, observing the interaction, understood private contact wasn’t possible earlier, so she straightforwardly offered her sincerity.

You want four-tenths? We can offer five-tenths!

But we need safety! Need commitments!

Within such power struggles, eliminating potential threats is often inevitable, removing future strong contenders is practically presumed.

If initially Lu Family ancestor had become a Saint, interactions would be equal.

But now, Extreme Ice City is like meat on the table, ready for slicing.

To avoid trouble, even when appeased initially, gradually catastrophe-level ‘disappearances’, and even quasi-Saint ‘disappearances’ can’t be avoided!

Power struggles within Starshine City suppress emergence of New Saints; such colonized cities are almost certainly emasculated…
