Chapter 260: New Concepts Acquired, All-Race Council Established, Initial Covenant Decided

The world was restored, and the races that had never seen such a bright world looked at this restored world with curiosity.

Of course, we have to exclude vampires. Although they are not harmed by sunlight, they still prefer dark places to bright environments.

"You seem a little different. Is it just my imagination?"

Looking at the sail-shaped building descending from the sky, Broly asked a question out of curiosity.

"While restoring the world, I also took the opportunity to correct the condition of my physical body."

Fanlou answered, then took Broly's hand and placed the boy's hand on the spot where the change had occurred in his body.

It felt warm to the touch through the clothes.

The shape that Broly felt at his fingertips seemed different from what he had seen before.

However, a thin, thread-like crack suddenly appeared on the steamed bun mountain.

"I'm a little curious about the future, so after fusing with the Star Cup, I took a quick look at the future."

Broly tilted his head, somewhat confused about the connection between seeing the future and Fanlou changing his body.

"Broly, you're still young now, but you'll understand when you grow up."

Fanlou released the Saiyan boy's hand before continuing.

"Maintaining world peace requires the power of the Star Grail. I cannot transfer the concept of the Star Grail's omniscience and omnipotence to you now, but I can give you my previous concepts of [suspicion] and [exaggeration] as a blessing..."

As he spoke, Fanlou raised his hand and tapped Broly's forehead with his fingertip.

The next moment, a notification from Crystal Palace appeared:

[I have obtained the world-class rules [Suspicion] and [Exaggeration], which were bestowed upon me by Fanlou, the only god (formerly the god of suspicion) of the M12 low-latitude world.]

After obtaining the two rules, the host will automatically gain the ability of [Powerful Reality Modification] in the M12 world.

As long as you believe that things are a certain way, things will develop and change in the direction that the host believes.

Unless interfered with by a higher rule-making power, it will remain in effect indefinitely.

This ability will be weakened after leaving the low-dimensional world of M12, but the modification characteristics will be retained to some extent, changing from a powerful modification to a probabilistic modification.

The probability of modification depends on the degree to which different worlds tolerate the two rules of "suspicion" and "exaggeration," and the modification method is the same.

Note: This ability is activated passively.

"From now on, you should be happy and think more positive things, and then you should always encounter good things."

Fanlou cupped Broly's face in his hands and gave him careful instructions.

Little Him, or rather, she, pulled Broly aside.

As he passed by Sink Nielbaren, he said to the forest elf, "If you want to take over this world, you must meet Broly's demands. He doesn't like fighting. Now it's up to you to do your job."

Sink Nielbaren: "..."

What is this? Is this the first wife giving orders to the second wife?

"Yes."

But considering that the other party was a divine being, and had now been made the One God by Broly, and that he would have to work under the other party in the future, Sink Nielbaren, this political creature, decisively bowed respectfully.

. . . .

"Under the witness of the one God, we will sign a peace covenant of non-aggression, but it is difficult to maintain peace forever through mandatory regulations."

Ideological differences will inevitably lead to conflicts between different races, and if these conflicts are not resolved, even if wars are prohibited on the surface, new wars will inevitably reappear in other forms.

Therefore, I, Rick, on behalf of the human race, propose that conflicts between races can be resolved through competitive games.

For example, in a game of Othello, the outcome of the conflict is determined by the result of the Othello game; there's no need for a life-or-death struggle, no need to create a sacrifice...

Rick gave an example: after explaining how to play Othello, the pale-faced, noble-looking vampire said sarcastically, "Using chess to decide the winner is simply child's play."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Shubi said, "We, the Machine Race, the only race created by Lord Shinsuru in the past, second the proposal of the human race representative."

Vampire: "..."

"The goblins second that."

"Ronnie Delaunier said quickly."

Even with the machine race and the human race already intertwined, behind it all is Lord Broly, who defeated Altshu, and Lord Hanrou, who was elevated to the throne of the One God by Lord Broly.

As long as the representatives of the human and machine races don't want to destroy the goblin race, Draunier will guarantee to blindly vote in favor.

Only by following the lead of our superiors can we make progress and maximize the protection of our race's interests.

"This is a good suggestion; we can adopt it."

As the host of the meeting, Sink Nielbar nodded in approval of Rick's proposal.

However, the orc race, which ranks lower in the sequence, raised objections regarding the specific implementation.

"A way to decide the winner without any casualties sounds good, but the problem is that we lower races, who don't have much elven adaptability, can't possibly beat you higher races when it comes to playing chess."

Doesn't this kind of competition deprive our race of its only weapons, fangs and teeth, leaving us orcs to be slaughtered at will?

"With fangs and sharp teeth, aren't you orcs just useless?"

"Lady Azriel, we orcs are no match for you winged races, but when facing other races below the sixth rank, we can still put up a fight with our blood-damaged individuals."

After speaking, the fox-man chieftain, representing the orc race, introduced himself: "Our tribe has worshipped Lord Fanlou for generations. Lord Fanlou may not be our creator, but we orcs have long regarded Lord Fanlou as our god."

[Fine, fine, so even orcs can be linked to the One God, huh?]

Thinking this, the fairy representative looked at Sink Nielbaren and stated on behalf of their race: "Since the One God and Lord Broly have chosen Lord Flower Crown as the host of this all-race council..."

Therefore, we fairies believe in the wisdom of the One God and Lord Broly, and are willing to unconditionally support Lady Sink Nielbarn, the Crown Lady, and all proposals approved by her.

The local official is more powerful than the distant one. The One God and Broly are too high-ranking. It is obvious that the one who will hold the reins of world power in the future is Sink Nielbaren.

Can't we connect with the One God or Lord Broly, but can't we connect with the current Lord of the Forest Elves?

It should be noted that the fairy race and the forest elf race have been allies for generations, maintaining a friendly alliance of offense and defense.

Having already spoken with Sink Nielba, they figured out the wisest course of action for the best representative of their race, the fairy race.

Most of the other races that were not actually related to the issue chose to agree.

Only the representative of the giant race, the Giant King, clearly stated that the orc race's argument was reasonable.

Similarly, most of their members are a reckless race; they have no interest in playing a game of Go, using their own weaknesses to challenge the strengths of other races.

"A game that determines the winner can be more than just playing Go; it can be other things, such as arm wrestling to test strength or running to test speed. In short, it's a contest that takes place under conditions agreed upon by both sides..."

Rick anticipated the concerns of the various races and quickly offered a detailed explanation. After discussing with the giants and orcs, he proposed using games to resolve conflicts, adding that the games must be mutually agreed upon, and that they could not be forced to continue if one side did not agree.

However, while this satisfied the orcs and giants, it raised objections among the vampires: "Our race's survival depends on drinking the blood of other races."

If you are hunting other races, you need to win the game to gain their consent.

So even if the prey is incredibly stupid, it wouldn't play this kind of game with us, right?

The representatives of the other races remained silent, but all looked at the representative of the marine species.

The vampire representative looked over as well and actually found a fool who might play this kind of game with them, the vampires.

"What's wrong? Why is everyone looking at me?"

"I recall that your marine species also need to abduct and capture mates of other races to reproduce. If in the future we need to play games before we can abduct mates of other races, can your marine species get their prey to agree?"

The vampire asked the question, and only then did Lorelei belatedly realize the seriousness of the fact that the way to resolve conflicts in the future world was through playing games.

"Can we have a contest to see who's more attractive?"

The mermaid, soaking in seawater in a wooden tub made by the forest spirits, asked.

"Each race has different aesthetic standards. Goblins like people with beards. Do you sea creatures have beards?"

Lorelei shook her head.

"Besides, even if we have the same aesthetic sense, it's probably only those who are better looking than you marine species who would compete with you marine species in this regard."

This peacekeeping conference lasted for a day and a night, with each ethnic group having its own desires or survival challenges.

After being proposed and discussed repeatedly, a peace treaty that everyone could barely accept was finally reached.

①【From this day forward, all races in the world, except for demons, are prohibited from harming each other.】

②【We swear an oath of peace that any conflict, whether between races or individuals, must be resolved through gameplay, without endangering the lives of either party.】

③ [The game can be designed by the player, but it must be agreed upon by both players. Before the game begins, the players can propose a wager that they both agree upon.]

④【The outcome of the game will be recognized and protected by the covenant, and the bets agreed upon by both parties before the game will definitely be executed.】

⑤ [Due to certain races facing survival difficulties once they can no longer harm each other, other races will provide some assistance.]

⑥【Establish a unified parliament of all races as the supreme authority for maintaining world peace, possessing the right to govern the world on behalf of all races.】

⑦ [The above peace treaty is preliminary. An annual all-race congress will be held thereafter, where representatives of all races will have the right to raise objections, and a vote will determine whether the proposal is adopted.]

⑧【The only gods, Lord Fanlou and Lord Broly, have a veto right. Other races, those of Sequence 6 and above, have two votes, while those of Sequence 6 and below have only one vote.

In addition to the racial votes, the Divine Race and the President of the All-Race Joint Council each have two votes, which are separate votes independent of the race.

In addition, Broly's wives, Sink Nealbarraen, Jibril, and Chloe each have an extra vote.

⑨【The final right to interpret the Peace Treaty rests with Lord Shinsurugi and Lord Broly.】

. . . .

After the meeting, Sink Nielbaren was appointed as the chairperson of the All-Race United Council. The situation was not quite what she had imagined, where she was second only to one person and above millions of living beings. Although she enjoyed rights comparable to those of ordinary gods, these rights were subject to restrictions.

Apart from the truly foolish marine species, the other racial representatives attending the meeting were all reasonably intelligent.

Races not belonging to the Forest Elf Alliance have tacitly chosen to restrain Sink Nielbaren, potentially leading to a situation where one Forest Elf dominates.

Of course, even with the restrictions, Sink Nielbarn still had 9 votes: 3 from the Forest God and Forest Elf, 3 from the Allied Fairy God and Fairy, and 3 from herself as the Speaker and Broly's wife.

Nine cards may sound like a lot, but it's not enough for Sink Nielbaren to have a monopoly on power.

The Fantasy race has two votes, as no other Fantasy race members are attending the meeting, so Avant Heim is their representative.

Arbont Heim sided with the Winged Race, which brought the Winged Race's racial votes, plus Jibril's individual votes, to a total of 5.

The goblin race and the giant race are on good terms and control 4 votes.

The human race, led by Rick, united with the machine race. Among the humans, there was also Broly's wife, who still had 3 votes.

The remaining superior race is the Dragon Elf, who are theoretically allies of the Forest Elf. However, this alliance is unstable, especially since the Wise Dragon King is the representative of the race and has no relationship with the Forest Elf.

The lower-ranking races, the Demon race, were excluded, and the Moonlit race was absent and received no votes, leaving only the Vampire race, the Beastman race, and the Marine race, each with one vote.

Sink Nielbar did the math and realized that even if she managed to win over the three lower races that were easiest for her to win over, their combined votes would only be equal to those of the other three major factions. But if she could bring the Dragon Spirits over, she could firmly control the All-Race Council.

"The rules of the game have changed, but the advantage remains with me!"

Sink Nielbaren didn't go to Broly to ask for anything; she decided to control the world through her own political maneuvering.

But one must take things one step at a time. Sink Nielbaren first set his sights on three races that were later in the racial hierarchy, starting with the vampires.

They have a problem with bloodsucking. Even though demons can be used as food, the concentration of spirit energy in the blood of demons is higher than that of vampires, which can injure the vampires that drink their blood. Therefore...

"We forest elves possess a unique purification technique that can help you vampires reduce the concentration of spirit energy in the blood of demons, allowing you to drink safe blood. However, this help is not free; I need your support..."

Sink Nielbaren and the vampire representative proposed a deal, but unfortunately it was sabotaged by the goblins.

"We goblins also possess extremely high scientific research capabilities. We can develop a device to filter excess elven energy from your blood, which we can give to you for free. That's right, you don't need your race ticket, you just need not to join any faction."

Draunier offered even more favorable terms, causing the vampires to reject Sink Nilbaren's offer.

However, the goblins were helpless when it came to recruiting orcs.

During the war, relations between the orcs and goblins were extremely hostile, with the goblins always using the weapons they developed on the orcs.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Sink Nielbaren easily persuaded the orcs to join the forest elves' faction simply by providing them with supplies.

As for marine species, their reproduction is too unique; they need to drain the souls of males of other races to achieve reconstitution within their bodies.

The goblins' technology was simply not enough to solve their problems, and they could not accept the trade of providing males from their tribe to support the reproduction of the sea creatures. They could only watch as the sea creatures fell into the arms of the forest elves.

Of course, forest spirits cannot provide males to sea creatures, but with the backing of the forest god, they can directly provide the souls needed for the sea creatures to reproduce. Gods can create life, so let's make our own god suffer a little to pave the way for her to reach the pinnacle of power.

"If your decision will not disrupt the hard-won peace in this world, I will be willing to vote for you."

And this is what Regin Levi said when Sink Nielbaren approached the Dragon Spirit.

The Dragon King saw Sink Nielbaren's intense desire for power.

However, she did not dislike him, as long as Sink Nielbaren could shoulder the responsibilities that came with his immense power.
