"Luo Feng!" the purple-robed figure greeted with a smile.
"I did not expect Shi Hua Island Leader to choose to meet here." Luo Feng walked to the front of the mansion, then raised his head to take a look.
"I wanted to come and see the extraordinary great being from the talented young generation who rose from the human race at such a tremendous rate…" Shi Hua Island Leader said in a gentle tone. "Exactly how did he manage to rise? And what kind of environment could have cultivated this talent?"
Luo Feng smiled. He took one look at this Shi Hua Island Master, who was so handsome that he could be an epitome of perfection but seemed to be more of a neutral gender. However, this Shi Hua Island Leader was a unique life form, so it was also possible that he did not have any gender at all.
"Out of all you humans, the one I respect the most is Teacher Origin," Shi Hua Master said softly with a sigh. "Especially the virtual universe Teacher Origin created. This virtual universe instantly made your culture 1,000—a million times more splendid! Even for faraway cultures that were scattered all over the universe, colliding with one another in the virtual universe could create new sparks. Various imaginations could become tangible within the virtual universe… Even I myself often get to experience your human culture within the virtual universe."
Luo Feng nodded. With or without the virtual universe, it was indeed a world of difference.
"When I was in the virtual universe, I have seen quite a few rounds of the War of Talents of you humans. Only that particular year of the War of Talents that you participated in… I was wandering on an adventure in Universe Ocean and could not dare get distracted. Therefore, I clean forgot about watching it." Shi Hua Island Leader shook his head while lamenting. "If I had watched it, I would be tempted to take you under my wing, taking you in as my disciple. How wonderful that would have been. This inheritance of Duan Dong River… How easy would it be for me to lay hands on it?"
"Even if Shi Hua Island Leader had watched that particular round of War of Talents earlier on, you would not want me as your disciple," Luo Feng said. "At that time, I was not the most outstanding one."
"True." Shi Hua Island Master shook his head and lamented again. "No one will dare proclaim to know what will happen in the future. Even if I had seen your performance that day, I would not have guessed your fate. I would never have expected a young chap from an indigenous race to be able to rise to be my equal when he matured."
Luo Feng gave a slight frown and said, "Shi Hua Island Leader's purpose in coming here is not merely to have a chat with me, right?"
Shi Hua Island Leader's expression changed instantly. "Luo Feng!" Shi Hua Island Leader stared at Luo Feng. "My purpose here is simple… Now, all the major groups of powers within the entire primal universe are paying close attention to the final choice of my Freedom Alliance. In other words, whichever side my Freedom Alliance chooses to join, that side will be determined as the winner."
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
"And now, there are split opinions within my Freedom Alliance," said Shi Hua Island Leader said. "One part wants to join your human camp. The other part wants even more! I belong to the latter part. My purpose in coming here is that I only have one goal: that you humans will impart to me the cultivation experiences of that ancient civilization on how I can cultivate the ultimate limit of a universe supreme master."
Shi Hua Island Leader looked at Luo Feng. Luo Feng instantly let out a hint of a sneer.
"Don't rush to reject me," Shi Hua Master said. "I come here representing myself. In other words… the cultivation experiences to be able to cultivate to the ultimate limit that you humans give me are solely mine to own. If you give me this inheritance, I will not impart it to any other being of the Freedom Alliance. And I will lead and persuade all those under my influence in the Freedom Alliance to join your human camp."
Luo Feng's eyes lit up. "You mean to say…"
"Yes. That is exactly what I mean. You humans only need to fulfill an insignificant condition that the Freedom Alliance demands! As for the cultivation experiences to achieve an ultimate limit… you only need to give it to me! I will help you humans now that the Freedom Alliance is split in two internally and I have much influence over one of these two groups. If I help you, the stalemate will soon come to an end, and the Freedom Alliance will join your human camp. Besides, I am no fool. After I get what I am after, I will not be so silly as to share it with other great beings. Wouldn't that be the same as training my enemy?" Shi Hua Island Leader looked at Luo Feng. "What do you think of my proposal?"
Luo Feng was tempted. If the experiences of the ancient civilization on how to cultivate to achieve the ultimate limit of a universe supreme master were only imparted to Shi Hua Island Leader, the humans would not need to worry about him spreading it to outsiders. Unless Shi Hua Island Leader was, indeed, a fool.
By only giving it to him, I can get over 400 universe masters to join my human camp?
Luo Feng nodded discreetly. Previously, his plan might have been impressive, but there were still risks attached. If the Freedom Alliance joined his human camp, they would truly be freed from any possible risk.
"Give me a moment," Luo Feng said.
******
At that moment, in the virtual universe, Luo Feng, Primal Chaos City Leader, Peng Gong Master, and Darkness Master met on the apex of Thunder Island.
"This was what he demanded: to give him the experiences of the ancient civilization on how to cultivate to achieve the ultimate limit of a universe supreme master," Luo Feng said. "Then he will help us! Teacher, Darkness, Peng Gong, what do you all think about his demands?"
"Only giving it to him alone?" Darkness muttered to himself pensively.
Peng Gong also nodded slightly. "Now there are two voices within the Freedom Alliance. One is willing to join us; the other is reluctant to do so and demands that we give them more. Shi Hua Island Leader is the leader of the group with the second voice. If he helps us… it is indeed possible to achieve a united voice within the Freedom Alliance as soon as possible."
"Just giving it to him alone is possible," Primal Chaos City Leader said slowly. "A single universe supreme master does not affect the big picture."
"True. And when we give him the information about the inheritance, we can be as brief as possible!" Darkness Master sneered. "He doesn't even know what the inheritance we have is like. We can give him simplified information… then tell him that it's what we got. What can he do?"
Luo Feng also nodded. The four highest-ranked great beings of the human race all felt that giving the information to Shi Hua Island Leader alone—in exchange for over 400 universe masters joining the human camp—was a feasible deal.
"And we must give him a portion before the war and the other portion after the war." Luo Feng smiled. "The portion before the war will have him coveting for more. After the war, when we give him the other portion, he may find it too brief… but the war will have ended. So what if he has regrets?"
"Mm."
"True."
"We can accede to his request."
The higher-ups of the humans all nodded their agreements; Primal Chaos City Leader even contacted Teacher Origin once to consult him about this matter. Teacher Origin was also in agreement.
Firstly, they only had to give information to Shi Hua Island Leader. Secondly, even if he managed to get his hands on that simplified information on that inheritance, it would still be extremely tough for Shi Hua Island Leader to achieve a breakthrough and cultivate to reach the ultimate limit.

Earth.
"Internally, the human race has finished this discussion." Luo Feng looked at Shi Hua Island Leader. "And all agreed."
Shi Hua Island Leader heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smile.
"Before the war, we humans will give you a third of the information," said Luo Feng. "If the Freedom Alliance joins the human camp in this war, then after the war has ended, we will give you the other two-thirds of the information."
"Deal." Shi Hua Island Leader nodded. "When will you give me the information?"
"Very soon." Luo Feng replied. "The human race has held an internal discussion." Luo Feng looked at Shi Hua Island Leader. "And we have agreed to accede to your request."
"After your human camp gives me part of the information, I will act fast and urge the Freedom Alliance to join your camp," Shi Hua Island Leader said without further ado.
******
The human camp, indeed, prepared a set of information on the inheritance that very same day and handed it over to Shi Hua Island Leader, who was excited and overjoyed to see it. This partial information alone was able to stir up his desire for more… and he was already yearning to lay hands on the remaining two-thirds. The only thing was, he had to wait until after the war.
The humans were all waiting anxiously.
"Shi Hua Island Leader wouldn't go back on his word after receiving the information and not help us as promised, would he?"
"Fret not. Shi Hua Island Leader put so much effort into creating that Freedom Alliance, and even became an Alliance Master, for what? All of it was just for the inheritance, wasn't it? It will do him no good at all if any of the universe masters from the Freedom Alliance also gets a part of it. Getting it all for himself is enough… He will handle this appropriately."
Luo Feng, Darkness Master, Primal Chaos City Leader, and the rest were waiting anxiously. They were all worried that an accident might happen midway. After all, the Freedom Alliance was brimming with great beings. Even if Shi Hua Island Leader were to help, he was also unable to give a 100 percent guarantee that he would succeed in his persuasion.
Half a month after being given a third of the information on cultivation experiences from the inheritance, Shi Hua Island Leader finally sent a piece of news:
"Internally, the Freedom Alliance has arrived at a consensus. The Alliance has decided to… join the human camp!"
