Chapter 1130: Chapter 1123: Dominant Force

"You misunderstood, I wasn’t trying to stir things up between you," Xia Yue said with a smile, then looked at Luo’er and extended her hand, "Luo’er, pass me your military knife."

"What are you going to do?" Luo’er asked cautiously as he reached into his pocket.

"Naturally, I’m going to show him the proof," Xia Yue stated openly.

"Maybe we shouldn’t, it’s quite frightening..." Luo’er said, showing a troubled expression.

"Then how do you suggest he could believe me?" Xia Yue asked.

"This..." Luo’er looked at Li Si, then helplessly shrugged his shoulders and handed the military knife to Xia Yue.

Xia Yue took the knife, looked it over briefly, then stabbed it into her own left ventricle without hesitation. Li Si was shocked by her actions, standing frozen for a long time before he finally recovered and shouted loudly, "What are you doing, Luo’er? Don’t just stand there, help her quickly!"

"She’s fine..." Luo’er shrugged and said.

Given Xia Yue’s condition, probably only a nuclear bomb could completely destroy her, and even then, it would only destroy her physical body, not her true essence.

"Luo’er, what nonsense are you talking about, look at her..." Li Si began to say as he looked at Xia Yue again, but his voice suddenly stopped because he saw Xia Yue pulling the knife from her chest and continuing to examine it. Meanwhile, there were no marks on her chest, not even a tear in her clothes.

"What, what, what is going on here?" Li Si’s eyes widened, hardly believing what he was seeing.

It was only then that he noticed something strange—whether Xia Yue was stabbing or pulling the knife, there were no bloodstains on either the knife or her clothes, no wonder he had felt something was amiss, there was an inexplicable sense of discord.

"This is Xia Yue, Xiapei Kam, a true goddess from the Otherworld. You either collaborate with her or become her enemy..." Luo’er said faintly.

Luo’er was well aware that fundamentally, it was impossible for the headquarters and Xia Yue to become enemies. Xia Yue’s nature determined she was just a maintainer of the Otherworld’s order, not a ruler. Her choice to cooperate with Earthlings also followed the Ancestors’ will to assimilate more races into the Elf Race as soon as possible.

Under Tana’s influence, nearly everyone thought that integrating the Elf Race with other races early on meant the extinction of this fantastical race. However, no one considered the other side: relying on the Elf Race’s dominant genetic superiority, it was almost unthinkable for the Elf Race to meld into other races rather than having the other races undergo Elfinization.

A considerable number of people, including Luo’er and his group, only came to this realization after learning about the Ancestors’ deeds.

To put it bluntly, the Elf Race is the most suited for colonization. Had Tana not changed her thinking and instead faithfully followed the Ancestors’ will, when the Otherworld Gate opened, the Earthlings would not have faced various races’ reinforcements, but a powerful Elf military force instead.

Moreover, if the Elf Race had inherited the Ancestors’ technology on this basis, the outcome of the Otherworld war would be an unknown. With their powerful magic technology, the Elf Race might even have been able to push back against Earth, and Earthlings would not be controlling the Otherworld situation as they are now.

Since there are no reasons for conflict and both parties share similar interests, collaborating with Xia Yue is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, this time, the headquarters might not have the upper hand in the collaboration, as it is clear to everyone that in the Otherworld, Xia Yue is an insurmountable force.

After brief reflection, Li Si also realized this. If what Luo’er said was true, then it meant that Xia Yue was a force in the Otherworld that could not be ignored and might even require them to woo her. Not knowing Xia Yue’s temperament meant they had to try to win her over. Otherwise, if Xia Yue sided with opposing forces, no matter how the calculations were made, they would certainly be at a significant disadvantage.

"What are your demands?" Taking a deep breath, Li Si asked calmly.

"I will help you activate Lipei’s Otherworld Gate, and as my reward, I need to oversee the Elf Planet Project you’ve devised," Xia Yue said indifferently.

"How do you know about the Elf Planet Project?" Li Si asked, glancing at Luo’er.

"I don’t like to waste words," Xia Yue replied.

"Sorry, I just don’t quite understand. You’re helping us open the Otherworld Gate just to oversee the Elf Planet Project?" Li Si asked cautiously.

"Don’t think of me as disgusting like you," Xia Yue chuckled, shaking her head, "I’m not like you, and besides, I’m not helping you. Don’t misunderstand. My reason for activating the Otherworld Gate is mainly to facilitate my oversight of the Elf Planet Project."

"Now that the Otherworld Gate is in a country beyond the typically influential ones, you five nations often fight fiercely over slight benefits, which is not conducive to launching the Elf Planet Project. So instead of letting your five nations scramble for fame and profit, it’s better to choose to cooperate directly with a powerful country. By relying on this strong nation, we can attract other scientists to join and collectively accomplish the transformation of humanity into elves, which is one of the reasons I want to work with you," Xia Yue explained.

"Your words always sound too idealistically grand. Why would you want to help us Earthlings achieve Elfinization if you don’t have your own motives?" Li Si squinted his eyes and asked.

"As I said, don’t think of me as a mortal as greedy as you. I am a god, and I have my ideals, which I will not allow you to tarnish or question!" Xia Yue said, her gaze suddenly sharpening, the threat unmistakable.

"Sorry, perhaps we are too mundane, just having wandered in this mundane world for too long, so we naturally have our reservations and cannot fully trust others. Especially those or those things that seem too ideal," Li Si raised his hands, his face innocent.

"Cut the nonsense, use your messenger to inform your superiors of my demands. I need to start the handover immediately and do not wish to waste time explaining again. Believe it or not, if you don’t, I’ll find someone else to cooperate with. By the way, even if I don’t find you, I’ll still open the Otherworld Gate, but where it connects on the other side might not be so desirable," Xia Yue said coldly.

"Lord Xia Yue, please calm down, we didn’t mean to doubt your word, please don’t give up on this cooperation," Luo’er quickly tried to soothe her.

"Is that your opinion, or the headquarters’ opinion?" Xia Yue looked down at her fingers, asking indifferently.

"It’s also the headquarters’ view, and I apologize for our previous words and actions. Lord Xia Yue, I earnestly represent our headquarters to request cooperation. We will meet all your requirements, please do not give up on this cooperation," Li Si took a deep breath, finally choosing to relent.

Although he still couldn’t fully trust Xia Yue’s true power, no matter how he calculated it, stabilizing Xia Yue was certainly correct. No matter what demands she might make in the future, for now, it was important to ensure she wouldn’t turn to the CIA for cooperation.

"That’s best, go arrange it!" Xia Yue looked up at him, a faint smile flashing across her face.

"Yes, we’ll arrange it right away!" Li Si nodded vigorously then turned and left the place.

Luo’er watched as Li Si hurried away, then turned back with a helpless look and said, "You were just trying to scare him, weren’t you?"

"How well do you know me?" Xia Yue walked up to Luo’er, looked up at him with an increasingly playful smile in her eyes.

"Most of the time, you’re smiling, and when you stop smiling, it definitely means you have some sly thought in mind. Although you are a god, your personality isn’t that complex and is quite predictable," Luo’er answered honestly.

"Do you always guess the thoughts of girls that accurately?" Xia Yue teased, her eyes curving like crescent moons as she looked at him.

"Please don’t drag the topic towards this boring direction—it’s pointless," Luo’er said with resignation.

"Hehehe," Xia Yue chuckled softly and then gazed towards the already vanished figure of Li Si, sighing lightly, "Humans always refuse to believe in what’s beyond normal, just like when you first met me. Ah, Earthlings, you steadfast Materialists."
