Chapter 1499 - Chapter 1499 Chapters 1446-1447 Differentiation Integration
Chapter 1499: Chapters 1446-1447: Differentiation, Integration, Acceptance_2 Chapter 1499: Chapters 1446-1447: Differentiation, Integration, Acceptance_2 However, if this Heterodox Alliance truly has ties with the Shenxiao Sect, not to mention asking that Longevity Taoist Monarch to take action, even if the strong ones of the Shenxiao Sect were to make a statement, then the other powers would inevitably be wary, and they would find it impossible to seek allies.
“So it seems that we only have two choices.”
“Either give up everything we have now and leave this place to search anew for a suitable territory for our development,”
“Or we could outrightly defect to the Heterodox Alliance. If the other side really has connections with the Shenxiao Sect and the Longevity Taoist Monarch, then our defection would not be without a future.”
These strong ones had ultimately spoken these words, which was actually the real purpose of their gathering here.
Given their current situation, they ultimately had to consider which path to follow next.
If it had been under normal circumstances, although as forces that had newly entered the Divine Land World, and everyone was a newcomer, the thought of cooperating without reservations would be very difficult.
Even without any personal connections, it was not surprising for them to backstab and betray each other for the temptation of profit.
But this time was completely different; the situation faced by the three powers made it impossible for them to harbor other thoughts, as everyone’s survival was at stake, let alone calculating against each other.
Now, they were clinging to each other in such a perilous situation that was hard to manage, let alone if they were to start infighting internally.
If they were to truly do so, they wouldn’t need the Heterodox Alliance to take any action; they might as well just sit and wait for death.
After each of the three powers had clarified the news, they actually each had a rough idea in their hearts, knowing what the outcome and choices they faced would be.
And what they had said before was all probing. Now they had reached the point of laying their cards on the table: They had to decide whether to leave or to surrender.
And while posing this question, each of them had a rough answer in their hearts, yet they still wanted to know the others’ thoughts.
When this question was raised, the representatives of the three powers fell silent, with none willing to speak first.
And just as these three powers fell silent due to their choices, a similar discussion was actually taking place within the Heterodox Alliance.
After all, no matter what, the three powers also had three True Immortals, whom they needed to treat seriously. As for the relationship between the three powers and the Shenxiao Sect and the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing that they had speculated upon, Zhao Baiyang had never even considered this.
Ones so close knew their own affairs. Even if they had some connections with Pei Xuanjing initially, as the gap between them grew wider, those ties became insubstantial. Even if the other party remembered them, they couldn’t be easily used–reserved for a critical moment–and, of course, it was best if they didn’t have to be used at all.
Therefore, they had never thought of relying on the Longevity Taoist Monarch to coerce the three powers into submission, but rather on their own strength.
“Is it possible to persuade these three powers to defect to us and become our aid?” Zi Tianxiong suggested.
To them, the three True Immortals were also a considerable force. Although they, with their five True Immortals, were confident of victory, such success would come at a certain cost. To think that they could win without deploying any effort was nearly impossible.
After all, the other side also had three True Immortals, and there were not a few Supreme Strong figures among them. Truly, aside from the True Immortal level, the rest of the strong ones were not weaker than those of the Heterodox Alliance, and even stronger in some cases.
After all, for the Divine Land World, their Heterodox Alliance honestly isn’t the most top-tier force; although they can recruit many genius disciples, it’s certainly not the case that all geniuses can enter the Heterodox Alliance.
However, for these three worlds, it’s different; although their small worlds have already been integrated into the world, for these forces, they represent the essence of the entire world, and even to be integrated into their disciples is to be counted as a genius, as elite.
For ordinary beings, they actually have no qualifications to enter these forces; they will be received by the Heavenly Court and then scattered and settled in the worlds after reincarnation.
In making this choice, on one hand, it’s because these forces don’t have enough resources to support all beings, but a bigger reason is that the Heavenly Court does not allow them to do so.
As far as the Heavenly Court is concerned, they can accept these worlds being integrated into the Divine Land World and make them a part of the Divine Land World, treating these people fairly and justly.
But these people also need to obediently integrate into the Divine Land World, to become a part of it, they must support the Divine Land World, willing to see it as their home.
And in order for them to better integrate into the Divine Land World, what the Heavenly Court needs to do is to completely separate these people, thoroughly disperse them, prevent them from banding together, let them interact with the people of the Divine Land World, be influenced.
If these forces were allowed to retain their former world’s population, it would be an unfavorable trend for the Heavenly Court; the other party could potentially form independent kingdoms, something the Heavenly Court does not wish to see.
Therefore, as these forces are integrated into the Divine Land World, the Heavenly Court does have certain conditions and constraints that must be met.
They can select some beings they’ve come in contact with as reserves, but there is inevitably a limit to this selection; this ensures that if these forces want to rise in the Divine Land World, they must recruit beings from the Divine Land World.
This is an open scheme, but for both parties, it is a good choice; with the passage of time and the baptism of years, these forces will fully integrate into the Divine Land World and truly become part of it.
However, this will create a situation where the top combat powers of these worlds might not be very strong, but their core pillars are excellent, after all, each chosen one is indeed an outstanding entity.
At the moment, these three forces might be inferior to the Heterodox Alliance in terms of True Immortal prowess, but if we talk about potential, their disciples are actually a notch above; even given enough time to adapt to the environment of the Divine Land World and sufficient resources, these cultivators will rapidly grow.
Although it may be somewhat exaggerated to say they will achieve True Immortality, as the essence of an entire world, their chances of reaching Supreme Strong levels are definitely not low.
Zi Tianxiong put forward this idea, not just wary of the presence of three True Immortals, but also drawn to these disciples.
After all, for them, the True Immortals, even if the three were troublesome, it was not that they had no power to suppress them, but this was undoubtedly the worst choice and method.
Since the Heterodox Alliance wants to grow stronger and rise, they need an influx of fresh blood even more, they must maintain a broad mindset to accept more cultivators, attract more talents into their ranks.
The rise of every force, aside from resources, also needs talent; after all, only with enough talent can a force truly turn resources into power.
Compared to the scions of the Divine Land World, these newly integrated beings are actually better; not only are they pre-selected elites, but such people are also without any problems, at least not spies planted by other forces.
Nowadays, as the Divine Land World has developed to this point, the conflicts between various forces have increased, and even to prevent the unexpected, they all lay pieces behind the scenes; burying spies in hostile forces and in forces that may pose a threat is nothing more exceptional.
These three newly-integrated forces have yet to be infiltrated by others, so if they truly wish to join the Heterodox Alliance, it would undoubtedly be a good choice for the Heterodox Alliance.
