Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 259: Fine Laws

Although this person was talkative, his words had fooled many demons.

The alliance was temporarily named Earth Alliance. Next, they set some rules and regulations that the alliance would follow.

Humans were more familiar with such things. They knew all about equality, friendship, unity, non-aggression, respect, trade, knowledge, learning, and helping each other.

The formation of this alliance was only a preliminary plan. That was not Ma Tengyun’s real plan. What he wanted to do was unite all the intelligent races on Earth and form one civilization. He wanted to forge a path to the galaxy.

However, this was not easy, nor could it be done overnight.

The alliance was gradually formed. The three races that were hostile to humans had returned and now had a high status in the alliance. They had been close to humans right from the beginning, so they had been given preferential treatment.

When the three races returned, everyone finally saw the true appearance of the three Legendary races. The Legendary member of the panda race was an upright giant panda. It was wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat, and a wine gourd was hanging from its waist. It had been completely integrated into the human race, so its behavior was no different from that of humans. It even spoke Mandarin, but it had a faint Sichuan accent.

It entered the meeting hall and walked to his seat. Then, it sat down and started dozing off. It seemed like it was not in the mood for this meeting.

The Legendary cat was not much different from a human. She had already reached the middle stage of the Legendary stage, so she only had a pair of cat ears and a tail. Like the panda, she was a little lazy. She lay down on her seat and closed her eyes halfway, looking tired.

The Legendary canine was more energetic than them. However, it only sat in its seat and did not speak much.

There were only Epic-ranked humans and Legendary demons in the hall. Because they were not big and there were not many Legendary demons, the meeting hall was not too crowded.

Compared to the chatty Epic-ranked demon outside, the people inside were much more cautious when talking to demons.

Ma Tengyun was the one hosting the meeting. Although Wei Huo was present, he was only sitting in the center. His unparalleled strength and fortified aura intimidated all races.

Although the Legendary demons had the right to speak and make suggestions, they did not dare act rashly in front of an expert like Wei Huo. In their minds, Wei Huo was emitting a terrifying aura. It seemed as if anyone who said anything wrong would be killed.

In reality, Wei Huo was resting with his eyes closed. He was in a trance and had already returned to his original state. If he did not attack, he would look no different from an ordinary person.

The Legendary demons were just imagining everything.

Ma Tengyun was in charge of the meeting, but no demon dared to look down on him. This was not just because he had the incredibly powerful Soaring Cloud. The demons present could not see through him. It seemed like Ma Tengyun was at the Epic stage, but they felt that he was hiding astonishing strength. Once he unleashed his strength, he would definitely be stronger than any demon present, even if he was not as strong as Wei Huo.

The demons had a stronger spiritual perception, which was why they had such a feeling. Plus, the stronger the demons were, the more obvious the feeling was. They did not understand why the stronger the humans were, the more they hid their weapons. Powerful weapons were hidden so that others would not know about them. They were only used at critical moments.

Many demons could not understand. Demons like them had to show their strength without any reservations. That way, they could snatch more territories and resources.

After some thought, they decided that this was probably the human culture— modesty was valued.

Ma Tengyun started talking. “The alliance matter is over. Now, we should discuss the alliance’s next step. As everyone knows, although the Zergs have been temporarily repelled, they are still eyeing us covetously. Many Zergs that have landed have hidden. This is a huge hidden danger. We should discuss what to do next.”

The Legendary Mystic Turtle said, “In my opinion, our alliance should be able to bring out the benefits of an alliance. We should first share information and knowledge with each other to allow our alliance’s strength to rise to another level. If we become stronger, we will not be afraid of any enemies. Isn’t that right, everyone?”

The other demons agreed. “The Mystic Turtle Race’s Legendary creature is right. That’s the truth.”

The demons had been eyeing human technology for a long time. At that moment, they finally revealed their purpose.

Ma Tengyun smiled and said, “That’s only natural. The only thing worthy of praise that the human race has is technology. However, technology can’t be studied overnight. That’s why before we build the Demon College, I suggest that the various races send existences below the Epic stage to our Technology Department to cooperate with our research team. Our Technology Department will build weapons suitable for each race based on their bodies, abilities, and characteristics. That way, we can increase the strength of each race and learn in the process. I would like to hear the thoughts of the Legendary creatures of each race.”

The Legendary demons were elated when they heard that. Not only could they gain knowledge, but they could also increase their strength immediately. Was the human race willing to help demons and selflessly contribute?

Ma Tengyun smiled faintly and did not speak.

When it came to playing mind games, how could thousands of races be a match for the human race? Besides, Ma Tengyun was the most devious out of all the humans. If a person like him fooled the demon race, he should be hundreds of times more powerful than the chatterbox outside. He could definitely sell out the demons while still getting them to help him count the money he received.

Ma Tengyun said, “The construction of a Demon College has to be included in the agenda. I’m willing to implement the nine-year compulsory education of humans among the demons. However, all demons have their own language and culture, so in order to facilitate education, the teaching material will be in the human language. The demons will have to start with writing and reading.”

The demons were confused. Why were humans so emotional? They were even willing to share nine years of compulsory education with the demons. How could they be so selfless?

A demon said, “City Lord Ma, we know very well the importance of nine years of compulsory education. Tell us all the conditions you humans have!”

Ma Tengyun nodded. “Conditions are still necessary. Since the demons want to enjoy the rights of the human race and undergo nine years of compulsory education, they naturally have to use the human currency. Although the tuition fees will be waived, you’ll still have to pay for books, accommodation, transportation, and other expenses. However, the various races don’t have to worry. If we work in a human city, the compensation will definitely not be reduced. The human race used to talk about equality for everyone, but we now advocate equality for all races. As long as we join the alliance, we will be a part of it. We will not split anything between us.”

The terrifying Ma Tengyun was trying his best to deceive these demons. He planned to assimilate them at a mental level.

The demons did not have any objections. They only said, “That’s what we should do. Since we’ll be learning, how can we not pay the price?”

Ma Tengyun smiled and changed the topic. “However, I hope that all races will abide by the laws of the human race. If they don’t, there will be no room for negotiation if they are imprisoned or beheaded!”
