Chapter 1745: The Danger To the Sacred Land (2/2)
House Xiahou also had spies within the Eternal Sacred Land, which h the matter of the offworld battlefield was kept extre of the ten sacred lands was felt to soree by the outside world
This hy the forefather had sounded so exasperated He needed to deal with civil unrest as well as the relentless threat the offworld battlefield posed The sacred land couldn’t currently sustain an offensive on both fronts, hence its incredible thirst for exceptional geniuses
“Young man, your appearance hereSo too, will Divine Abyss be preserved!” The forefather was quite serious “I’ve observed you all this tieniuses I’ve ever seen, your luck is unrivaled Though you haven’t shown off all your talents, I ae so Chen saw no reason to be humble “Forefather,” he asked directly, “why haven’t the sacred lands educated the public about the offworld battlefield? Why not introduce new blood to the war effort? It’s difficult for the ten sacred lands to fight on alone”
“Ah, we’ve debated this proble time It always has been, and continues to be, inconclusive We’re worried that such a drastic change would cause the situation to spiral out of control and destroy the sacred lands’ grasp over Myriad Abyss It’s possible that the announcement would have the opposite of the desired effect”
That kind of cautious reasoning was understandable After all, all the other factions were descended froh the children of deserters weren’t necessarily cowardly the It was unrealistic to expect a group of people, who’d never known about the offworld battles, to make drastic sacrifices on the basis of conviction alone
The ten sacred lands had lasted as long as they did because they had a clear raved in their blood and bone
In contrast, the other factions were selfish and profiteering to the bitter end
Clearly, the two parties’ principles didn’t align
“Change is difficult,” Jiang Chen sighed, “but I believe it to be unavoidable at the end of the day The Ten Divine Nations cannot expect only its line of disciples to suffice forever”
“Yes Alas, no one dares undertake this effort lightly The potential consequences are e”
Upon failure, Myriad Abyss would be plunged into chaos and impossible to predict ould happen then What if there was endless war after that?
Hoould stability be reintroduced?
Jiang Chen didn’t doubt House Xiahou’s willingness to supplant a weakened Eternal Sacred Land for a er for it
“Maybe the situation cannot be changed by just one person or faction However, the way of the world will shi+ft eventually The wheel of history is inexorable, crushi+ng all beneath its weight” The forefather spoke gravely “Young ed in the winds of change that are about to blow”
“You overesti Chen replied seriously “Still, I will not wantonly disregard the rest of the world for the sake of selfish gain”
“Good I’ve chosen the right man, it seeood news froeniuses”
The forefather sradually frorew heavier after the oldof Myriad Abyss now, he felt a very real sense of danger loo on the horizon
Myriad Abyss wasn't entirely peaceful, either It was a barrel of gunpowder that could ignite at any moment When it did so, there would be widespread cala to the various domains had been set by the ten sacred lands If the sacred lands’ rule over Myriad Abyss was invalidated, that rule would be voided Would Myriad Abyss’ factions rush into the human domain, then?
“Ah, I hope that the ten sacred lands can keep things under control” After the conversation with the venerated forefather, Jiang Chen had realized that the Eternal Sacred Land didn’t have a tight enough grasp over the divine nation
There was no one in the young generation that could co, for starters! That alone was eh
The Eternal Sacred Land was the ruler of Eternal Divine Nation, and should have led in every field by a far stretch However, there was no evidence of that right now
Most concerningly, none of the other factions feared the sacred land There should have been far more open support for it than there had been at the Skyh
