"What do you mean there's no other choice? At worst, we'll fight to the death. Isn't it just death?" Nile's fury sprang to life.
Seeing this, Mulji shook his head and sighed.
Roscoe, who was beside Mulji, laughed.
"What are you laughing at? You're just a coward!" Nile scolded angrily.
Roscoe wasn't annoyed. He said calmly, "Yes, I'm a coward. However, do you really think that those governors were cowards? That no one opposed it?"
"Uh..." Nile frowned.
Mulji added, "Nile, when we first learned about Sky Devil Region's attacks, some people reacted the same way as you did. They were willing to fight till death!"
"After that, several governors made a trip to Sky Devil Region. From what I heard, they realized that Sky Devil Region had top experts. They also noticed that there is a huge difference in terms of cultivation strength between Flying Star Region and Sky Devil Region."
"We are nothing in the eyes of Sky Devil. That's because we are not at the same level at all."
"Our Flying Star Region does not stand a chance in winning at all."
"Therefore, the governors decided to sign the agreement even though they knew that people would oppose it."
Nile sneered and said disdainfully, "You're just finding an excuse to justify their actions."
"If Sky Devil Region is really as powerful as people say, then we won't be able to defeat them no matter what. Why didn't they launch an attack on us and take control of Flying Star Region? Wouldn't that be contradictory?"
Mulji explained, "According to Haiqal, although the Sky Devil Region is powerful, there are other regions who are much more powerful. They don't want to make needless sacrifices, that's why they did not attack us. Instead, they chose to sign an agreement with us." "Yeah, right! You can say whatever you want now." Nile still did not believe it.
Mulji shook his head and stopped talking.
Roscoe sneered and said, "If you don't believe us, you can go to Sky Devil Region yourself and find out how powerful they really are."
"Do you think I don't dare?" Nile rolled up his sleeves.
Seeing that Nile was about to lose his temper and get into a fight, Fade quickly held him back.
As for Vincenzo, he concluded in a deep voice, "In general, Haiqal thinks that we can't defeat Sky Devil Region, so he gave in and signed a contract. That's why Flying Star Region was able to have peace in the past twenty thousand years. Of course, self interest was a factor."
Mulji and Roscoe lowered their heads and did not say anything, which meant that they acquiesced with Vincenzo's words.
Seeing this, Vincenzo waved his hand and continued to ask, "Now, tell me more. How did you deal with Sky Devil Region during this period of time? What did they give you?"
Mulji said, "I only came into contact with Sky Devil Region a few times when I introduced some cultivators. I don't know much about them. The one who really came into contact with them and made all the decisions is Haiqal."
"Me too!" Roscoe nodded.
"Introduce cultivators? I want to know more about it." Vincenzo said.
Mulji explained in detail, "During the first year, the Sky Devil Region promised that every one thousand year, they would send someone over to recruit one hundred young cultivators who are less than 5,000 years old. These groups of young cultivators would then be taken to Sky Devil Region to study and cultivate."
"In order to gain a better understanding of Sky Devil Region and to raise our cultivation, all the domains will carefully choose a group of talented young cultivators and recommend them to go."
"At the beginning, not many were willing to go as they were worried."
"Later, the cultivators of the previous batches returned one after another, and their strength improved a lot. They also got various benefits. Therefore, the officials of various domains began to put their own people on the list. Some governors would even add their own children to the list."
"Even if you were rich, you still might not be able to get on the list. This caused a lot of fights in the past."
Fade frowned slightly after hearing Mulji's explanation. He couldn't help asking, "Is this just like going abroad to study?"
