The Zasfins were obviously more than pleased with Sevinia's approach. After all, it would feel way too weird if they just took a passive stance all this time. One must remember that the Zasfins still thought that the world should have been only theirs.

Phex snorted after hearing Sevinia's words, though. "Are you telling me you have no obligations whatsoever after those many years of forced isolation? Hmph! If you don't want any compromise, our demon beasts don't mind taking this war till the very end. Do you think we're afraid of taking things too far?"

Suddenly, Duran lifted his hand as he said, "We might not know each other, but I believe you've already heard of me. I'm Duran Hafel, and I'm here to talk on behalf of my friend that you killed, Fikin."

Darian, who was on Phex's side, immediately shook his head, saying in response, "Killed? We certainly tried, but that guy escaped at the last moment. Your race should have seen it as well."

Duran ignored that fact as he said, "Is that so? Well, I guess no one here can prove if it really wasn't you." Duran then changed the topic. "However, I'm not here to put the blame on anyone. Death is a common sight during wars, and Fikin was far from being the only one dead."

With that, he showed a serious expression before saying, "The war has already been won by your Demon Beast Alliance. Because of that, both sides lost way too many forces. Then again, I won't deny that we kept you imprisoned in the Demon Beast Continent. Say it, what compromise do you want from us? Depending on what it is, we might be able to reach an agreement. Just don't go too far since we're also not afraid of dragging this on till the very end."

Phex nodded, satisfied. "Now we're talking." Soon after, he looked at Roan and then at the many humans in the middle of the Demon Beast Army behind him. Obviously, he hadn't forgotten the promise the Demon Beast Alliance made with them. "First, we demand the act of human slavery to be banished. All humans in your Zasfin territories have to be sent to the Wringan Continent."

Wringan Continent wasn't one of the high-quality regions. Still, all the humans participating in the war knew that the continent given to them, in the end, wouldn't be anything impressive. They just needed a place where they could flourish for the years to come.

"Second, neither side is allowed to take control over the continent for the next two thousand years."

All the Zasfins were taken aback by the demands. After all, it had nothing to do with the demon beasts themselves but the humans who were the weakest race in this war. Nevertheless, they quickly put those thoughts aside since that wasn't the main problem.

"Impossible!"

"Do you know how much the slaves are needed in the Zasfin world?"

"Who do you think will do the work if they're gone? Us? Such things are beneath our honorable race."

"This is too much!"

"You are being too crazy to wish giving the humans so much space."

Such voices were raised everywhere in the back. However, Duran quickly intervened, shouting, "Silence!"

Duran's words, at the moment, weighed more than Sevinia's, so everyone had really shut up straight away. Well, for the ancestors, the position of humans was something they didn't really care about that much anymore. Only those below the Elemental Transformation Realm raised their voices. Instead, they saw a chance in this condition put forward by the demon beasts.

Naturally, Duran also saw the same chance, saying, "We can give the humans back to you. However, this is a compromise too big for our race. That being said, you need to do us a favor. Do that, and we'll send every single human in the Zasfins territory to you."

Phex narrowed his eyes in response. Well, he already knew what Duran was going to ask, so it didn't matter that much. "The ones making demands should be our Demon Beast Alliance. However, unlike you Zasfins, demon beasts know how to keep their words. If what you ask isn't too much, we'll try to make it happen."

Immediately, the Ancestors of the Zasfin Race's eyes lit up. The time they were waiting for finally arrived.

Duran smiled at Phex as well, quickly stating his condition. "I found out that your Bestial Sacred Ground has shown some reactions. From the looks of it, there's a chance that the Path to the Realm of Gods will open there."

Phex immediately showed a shocked expression, saying, "How did you find about it?"

Duran didn't tell him how, though. "How I did it doesn't matter. What matters is whether you're willing to let us use your demon beasts' Path to the Realm of Gods. If it helps, the other Zasfins at my level don't mind helping you make it happen. I believe your Demon Beast Alliance wouldn't refuse an extra hand in such a huge endeavor, right?"

"This..." Phex, Frin, Xaon, and Darian seemed to hesitate. Well, Rean, who was watching from behind, had to put quite some effort to not laugh at that act.

Duran then struck the iron while it was hot, continuing, "You should truly consider this option. Not only would your demon beasts not lose anything by allowing us to take part in this, but your job will also become a lot easier. For this chance, our Zasfin Race wouldn't mind enforcing a law prohibiting the slavery of humans in our entire territory for as long as you want."

The Transition Realm Zasfins on Duran's side and the others behind nodded. For the Realm of Gods, they were willing to do almost anything as long as it didn't spell calamity for their race on this planet. For them, humans slaves were still just that, slaves. Whether they would cause problems in the future or not, it could only happen far, far in the future. It would be the job of the Zasfins of that time to deal with it. Well...the twins were an exception, though. It's just that they could do nothing about it.
