Chapter 1578: The Resentment of the Lost Protoss
In fact, as early as the way to the Lost Divine Palace, Li Ming had been secretly thinking in his heart about how to persuade the two great gods to reunite and fight against the incoming demon army together.
Judging from the current situation, it is simply impossible to forcefully demand the return of the Lost Protoss to the Temple according to the idea of the Temple Deity.
First, the Lost Protoss was originally a part of the clan that the Templar Protoss had given up, but due to various reasons, the Templar could not take care of the remnants of the clan who remained outside the City of Peace, so they had no choice but to fend for themselves. But they didn't expect that the abandoned part of the clan not only survived, but also possessed a strength no less powerful than the Templar Divine Clan. The Lost Protoss has a grudge in their hearts, and of course they will not return to the Templar Protoss easily.
Second, the Lost Protoss has been working hard outside the City of Peace for a long time, they already have a strong strength, and they can almost compete with the Temple, now let them go back, how can the Lost Protoss give up such a big foundation now?
Third, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the temple requires the Lost Protoss to return to its roots, but how to distinguish between the Lost God Emperor and the Temple Deity Celestial, and how to arrange the personnel within the two races, all affect the interest of the Lost Protoss whether they are willing to go back.
But the most troublesome thing is that the Divine Venerable can't promise too many conditions, and it is necessary to let the Lost Protoss return immediately, otherwise they will sit back and ignore the invasion of the Demon Clan until the Lost Protoss takes the initiative to succumb.
But Li Ming knew that even if the Lost Protoss died to the last soldier, they would never change their minds.
So the current situation is more complicated, but fortunately, he knows the situation of these two gods too well, and he already has a vague solution on the way......
To find out if this plan could work, he had to first figure out what was going on on the Lost Protoss' side.
"Yes, Elder, I did think of a way that would not let you give up the large territory outside the City of Peace, but also ensure your status among the Protoss, and even ensure the future development of your two major Protoss." Li Ming replied with a smile.
"What's your idea? Why don't you tell us about it? The God Emperor's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.
As the supreme commander of the Lost God Clan, the Lost God Emperor was actually very entangled in the situation this time.
He knew very well that the Temple's request for the Lost Protoss to return to the Sanctuary at this time was to see that the Demon Venerable was about to attack, and the Lost Protoss would face great danger, so he would take the opportunity to make this request.
Just as Li Ming expected, the God Emperor did not reject returning to the Temple, but the specific situation had to be discussed in detail, such as how to settle the territory here after the return of the Lost God Clan, what his status in the Temple was, and the Temple must show sincerity and personally go to the Lost God Palace to apologize to their ancestors.
In that case, he would also consider a request to return to the temple.
It's a pity that the Divine Venerable actually demanded their return by order, which made the Lost God Emperor very angry, and there was a situation where he refused to negotiate.
Since the temple is so tough, even if he fights to burn the demon jade, he will no longer consider the requirements of the temple!
But now, with the arrival of Li Ming, the few words he said just now seemed to be poked at his heart with every word, which made the Divine Emperor's mind loosen again......
"Your Majesty, I know that the temple and you are from the same vein after all, although there are some grievances in the middle, but no matter what, you are always the same bloodline, and you can reintegrate together, and you can fight the demons together, this is the best situation." Li Ming said with a smile.
"Of course I understand, but the Temple has been separated from us for too long, and returning now is not something that can be achieved with a word, and I have to think about my territory and all my people." The Lost God Emperor replied lightly.
"So I came to see Your Majesty this time, firstly, to inform the Demon Venerable about it, and secondly, to come for the request of the Divine Venerable. But before I came, I had the gods grant me a few requests, and if they couldn't meet them, I wouldn't come and act as a lobbyist. Li Ming said with a smile.
"Oh, what did the temple ask you for?" The God Emperor and the five elders, as well as all the Lost God Clansmen in the main hall, all widened their eyes in surprise.
"I request, if I want to convince Your Majesty, first of all, the Divine Venerable must give me certain conditions, the first of which is that if the Lost Protoss returns, Your Majesty and the Divine Venerable will be on an equal footing and jointly manage the future Protoss, and the five elders will also become the protectors of the clan, and the status of the other clansmen will remain unchanged." Li Ming said.
"This is supposed to be, what does our Territory God Zun think?" Elder Jin asked.
"It's too early to think about the matter of the territory, as long as the two great gods merge into one and fight against the demon clan together, after the victory in the future, the two gods can sit down and discuss this matter slowly." Li Ming said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, did the Divine Venerable really grant your request?" The God Emperor asked suspiciously.
"The holy woman can testify here, if you don't believe it, just ask the holy woman." Li Ming turned his head and glanced at the beautiful woman beside him.
"That's right, the Sect Leader Divine Venerable promised him so, and this seat can testify." Then the saint spoke.
"There is a holy woman who testifies, and we are willing to believe it. But...... The most important condition for us to return to the temple is that the Lord Divine Venerable must take the Dharma Protector and all the elders to the ancestral tomb in the depths of our Divine Palace to formally apologize to our ancestors so that their grievances can be appeased. In this way, we will have the possibility of continuing negotiations. The God Emperor said
"Does it have to be this way?" Li Ming touched his head and asked.
"It has to be so, for us to return to the Temple, that's the first condition that must be fulfilled!" The God Emperor nodded.
"Your Excellency, our ancestors were abandoned in this desolate place, if it weren't for the luck of our ancestors who survived, there would be no Lost Protoss we have now. When the ancestors were dying, their last words were passed down from generation to generation, and if one day the temple sent a message, and no god came to the tomb to repent, the lost gods would never return! Elder Jin Zhengse said.
"That's it......" Li Ming glanced at the Holy Maiden, and felt even more the great resentment of the ancestors of the Lost Protoss back then......
"To be clear, if you want the Divine Venerable to take all the Dharma Protectors and Elders to the tomb to apologize, I am afraid that this must be approved by the Divine Venerable, and the majesty of the Supreme of the Temple cannot be easily offended." The saint frowned and whispered.
"It seems that I have to go back to negotiate......" Li Ming was speechless, and turned his head to look at the top of the high platform: "I didn't communicate with Lord Shenzun about this matter beforehand, so I can't directly agree on his behalf, so I have to go back and discuss with Shenzun." However, for the sake of convenience, please inform me of all the conditions that Your Majesty and the elders have. ”
"An apology before the grave is a prerequisite that must be agreed, and if this one cannot be agreed, there is no need to talk about other conditions." The God Emperor said lightly.
