The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 339: Chapter 285: Two Transactions

After all the back-and-forth, isn’t it finally time to prove oneself with actions?

Lynn couldn’t cede territory or send people; the only things on him that might be valuable to the Demon Race were the two Demon Mirrors and the Guardian Demon Emperor Set.

But these were absolutely not to be brought out, showing them would spoil everything.

And when the negotiations had reached yet another stalemate, Greed Demon King Liss suddenly stepped forward, standing beside Proud Demon King Ilya.

"Miracle World has more to offer us, the Demon Race, than just land and population; there are actually other items we can trade for."

With Liss speaking, everyone’s eyes shifted to her, but she was undaunted, continuing under their scrutiny—

"The Late Emperor once led an assault into the Divine Protection Continent, but ultimately fell in foreign lands with not even his body returning to the Demon Realm."

"Of course, we won’t demand useless corpses as part of the trade; what we need is the Late Emperor Demon Dragon Emperor’s Demon Artifact Set. Want the Divine Abandonment Continent? Then bring the complete eight-piece set in exchange!"

We can only say that Greed Demon King lives up to the name—asking for a full set of 999-level Demon Artifacts just to get a hollow continent.

Although the Demon Emperor’s exclusive Demon Artifact Set is basically worthless to the people of Miracle World, it’s still 999-level Demon Artifacts, and a full eight pieces at that. Even a single piece is worth as much as a nation; eight pieces equal eight nations, and with the set’s attributes, it’s worth two or three thriving continents.

When Greed Demon King made the proposal, both Victor and Lynn felt their hearts stirred.

What a great deal! ×2.

In Victor’s view, exchanging a continent that needs massive investment to become operational for a complete Demon Emperor Set is simply a huge win.

Though she had just emerged, she’d heard countless tales of Illidan Demon Emperor’s achievements in the Demon Realm, rumored to have been accomplished wearing the ill-fitting Magic System Demon Emperor Set. If she could exchange the Warrior-exclusive Demon Emperor Set to offer back to Illidan Demon Emperor, his power would likely surge tremendously, surely pleasing the Demon Emperor greatly.

In Lynn’s view, I exchange the Demon Emperor Set for the Divine Abandonment Continent, which then returns to Miracle World. Meanwhile, the exchanged Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifact Set is exclusive and only wearable by Illidan Stormrage in the entire Demon Realm. Doesn’t it end up back in my hands? Isn’t this essentially getting it for free? So profitable!

"I think it’s feasible."

"Agree to the exchange."

Lynn and Victor spoke simultaneously, expressing approval of the trade terms.

"Does anyone know where the equipment of the Demon Dragon Emperor landed after I slew him back then?"

Seeing the deal finally reached consensus, Lynn immediately turned to the Eight Great Saint Emperors. At the time, he hadn’t got any loot, as these guys picked up the scraps, so it was time to inquire from them.

Upon hearing Lynn’s query, the Eight Great Saint Emperors exchanged glances, hesitating.

They recalled after the Demon Dragon Emperor fell, the World-saving Hero vanished, and the vast dragon corpse was divided among the high ranks of various nations, allegedly... Well, it was eaten, and indeed it had some effects, at least it was quite invigorating...

As for the equipment of the Demon Dragon Emperor, naturally it was divided as war spoils among the folks; it had just eight pieces of Demon Artifacts on it, no storage gear found, as there were precisely eight pieces, and the Divine Protection Continent happened to have Eight Great Empires. Everyone consensually divided it—one piece per nation.

However, as the coalition forces proceeded victoriously, advancing to the snowy mountains of the Divine Protection Continent and confronting the Demon Race, the War Divine Hall suddenly offered a substantial price to trade for the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifact set held by nations.

Honestly, those were the war spoils from slaying the Demon Dragon Emperor, 999-level Demon Artifacts, though unusable and highly contaminating, needing constant suppressing, but it couldn’t be helped; the collection value was high. Even the Saint Emperor’s Divine Artifact couldn’t match in this aspect.

Because if deemed suitable, a Saint Emperor, the Saint Emperor’s Divine Artifact might not be privately kept, but who could ever return the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifacts?

Once properly hidden, it could be passed to future generations—look, this was the trophy our ancestor claimed after slaying the Demon Dragon Emperor. Isn’t that impressive?

Initially, nobody wanted to sell, but the offer from the War Divine Hall was too tempting to resist; really, they offered too much.

Gold and Demon Crystal were secondary, the key was the War Divine Hall offering the Divine Gift Potion.

The potion’s function was singular but very pertinent.

Life-extending Potion, drinking one adds three hundred years of life, now say whether you would trade, or not?

Thus, understandably, the War Divine Hall effortlessly assembled the full set of the Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifacts. No one knew what they intended with this set, but everyone knew all pieces were with them.

"Not hiding from Master Lynn, the complete Demon Artifacts of the Demon Dragon Emperor are held by the War Divine Hall. They didn’t follow us this time because you pointedly excluded them..."

After facing each other briefly, the Eight Great Saint Emperors realized they couldn’t hesitate in this scenario, nor did they need to cover for the War Divine Hall.

Even though they suspected exchanging the whole Demon Emperor’s Demon Artifact set while a new Demon Emperor was emerging in the Demon Realm smacked of aiding the enemy, if the sky falls, taller ones will hold it up. They dared not question Master Lynn’s decision.
