Chapter 2801 The Final Obstacle

The Heaven Sect lived up to its words. With the declaration of a draw, it lived up to the outcome that it promised.

It would agree to cooperate with Solution of Harmony in exchange for the Hellbringer model and the breakthroughs.

This was good enough.

"You should have done this from the start instead of risking my son's life." Emperor Rael's rich voice was unyieldly firm. His tone was powerful.

His sharp golden eyes bore deep into Elder Diana's gaze.

He had not been pleased when Rui challenged a Martial Sage, but he understood that his son was simply indulging his desire to fight. What he didn't appreciate was the Heaven Sect not only accepting the battle, but not making any attempt to guarantee his son's safety from a Martial Sage who clearly wanted to kill him. If his son had died, he would not have been as gentle with the Heaven Sect as he had been with the Nest of Terra.

There would have been hell to pay.

"We don't have to do anything," Elder Diana's tone was arrogant. "Your son came into our nation, violated our laws and then challenged a Martial Sage. This all of his own doing. However, I will adhere to our word. The Heaven Sect does not engage in low-life deceit. We will cooperate with your Solution of Harmony in exchange for his precious services and gifts."

Emperor Rael simply gazed at her for a few moments. "It is good that you have decided to honor your agreement. I can assure you, the price of not doing so would have been... severe."

Elder Diana stirred as she heaved a sigh. "Very well then. I accept these terms and conditions."

And thus, the Heaven Sect joined the Solution of Harmony officially.

With that, most polities had reaffirmed and ratified an agreement officially detailing their participation in the solution. The only ones that remained were the Gu, and the Marinaera Kingdom, and the Namgung Dynasty.

"I believe that these three no longer have any choice," Emperor Rael remarked. "The Dawnbringer will likely not need to go through much resistance, especially with the latter two as they are extremely dependent economically on the world, and that can be used to twist their arms into cooperation. The only problem is..."

Emperor Rael's eyes sharpened. "The Gu."

The Gu was everything that the Sekigahara Confederate wished it was.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the Panamic Martial Federation's largest responsibility was keeping the Gu in check. And while the international organization had been rendered rather useless in the Era of Darkness, the Gu thrived in its element.

"Out of all the powerhouses in the world, the Gu is the most ideologically inclined against the Solution of Harmony," Prime Minister Edward calmly retorted. "You will be thrusting an impossible responsibility on your son by having him enter that hellhole. I suggest not including them in the plan entirely, we should be able to compensate with the Kandrian Empire's growing power. However, risking the Dawnbringer's death is not worth it."

"But would the Gu actually try to kill the Dawnbringer?" Queen Lianiala raised an eyebrow. "The Kandrian deterrence is powerful. I don't think that Gujincan Asmodeous will go out of his way to kill him just to sabotage the Solution of Harmony."

"Do not be too certain of that," the Martial Pontifex remarked. "There is a reason that they call him the Demon of Asmodeous."

The air grew cold as history reminded them of itself.
