spoke, traces of ethereal energy leaked out subtly. She was ready to obliterate anything she uttered before it left her lips, lest others might learn its secrets.Ye Fusheng's heart was speechless for...Chapter 1318: Listening to the Sovereign
Chapter 1318: Listening to the Sovereign
"Oh..."
Yang Dingtian couldn't help but sigh when he saw them.
This was still the first time they had seen each other since Ye Fusheng left. Looking at their state, they hadn't been able to recover from Ye Fusheng's fall yet. Thinking about it, it made sense. He was their man, the greatest hero of all time from ancient times to the present. How could they possibly get over it so easily
Ten women sat down one by one, turning their heads to look at Yang Dingtian.
Qin Mulan slowly said, "Your Majesty, you should dye your hair."
He is completely white-haired!
Yang Ditian waved his hand and squeezed out a smile: “Before, it was to showcase the image of Daxia, I couldn't have white hair. Now that I'm like this, there's no point, so just go with the flow.”
Even with jet-black hair, it can't change the impact of Ye Fusheng's demise, so I'm too lazy to bother.
Yang Dingtian paused for a moment and said, "Today I invited you all here to discuss important matters. This morning, the upper realm gave their attitude, which includes but is not limited to..."
He stated all the conditions of the upper realm.
"They dare!"
He Yuting was most excited, and instantly slapped the table: "Life is born from them, and now they want to enslave mortals again They simply take us for fools. Do the immortals think we are soft persimmons Even if we are moths, we have to try and fly into the fire!"
Yin Susu also angrily said: "They actually want us all to listen to his teachings To change all the people of Daxia They are talking nonsense, living a fleeting life. My heart has died with it. No matter what others do, I will absolutely not listen to half a word!"
The nanny began to sob: "I will absolutely not obey, and neither will the people of Daxi! I will never make an offering; I will only fight to the death!"
Gu Ziqi gritted her teeth: "I have never seen such shameless people. They think they are what They actually want to manipulate Daxia in their palms. I disagree, and the people of Daxia will not agree either!"
Yun Ling'er bit her lip: "I strongly object. If they take forceful action, I am willing to be the first to charge, dying without regrets..."
She was speaking and suddenly stopped, the rest of her words unspoken, because she had choked up.
It's not just her.
The room fell silent.
It was as if the entire world had frozen in time.
A few seconds later.
In the meeting room, sobs filled the air. Ten women huddled together, heads bowed, bodies trembling slightly, tears streaming down their faces. The reason was none other than a deep sense of grievance. If Ye Fusheng were still here, how dare the celestial realm treat mortals in such a way
Miss him!
Yang Dingtian was infected by their emotions, his eyes became wet but he didn't cry out loud. After all, he was still the national master, as the national master, his own emotions were no longer important. What mattered was the well-being of the 140 million people of Daxia!
We waited until their emotions calmed down a bit.
"From the standpoint of strength, we have no power to resist. Looking at everything from the Upper Realm, they could do anything, and they only gave us a day. So...the path before us is limited."
"Give way!"
Nan Qianhua suddenly spoke.
Splash!
For a moment, everyone looked over, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Although Nan Qianhua joined later, she has steadily held the position of "big sister" and become the backbone for the other girls during this time.
She continued, "To dedicate one's life to protecting the dignity of humankind is a noble aspiration. Yet, tragically, we are not even afforded the right to defend it. Thus, we must settle for preserving the very essence of humanity – its lineage. If we refuse to descend and offer ourselves as sacrifices, the celestial beings will undoubtedly eradicate our race entirely, choosing instead to prolong their own existence. This is our only path to survival."
What he said makes sense.
Originally, the only goal was to change the national master and cause chaos in Daxia without any other losses.
The situation now is far more serious than it was before. The losses are enormous—hundreds of celestial fairies, dozens of golden immortals, and even a celestial emperor. It's not hard to imagine that their methods of revenge will grow exponentially.
If this trend continues, millions or even billions of people in the Xia Dynasty will be killed.
Of course, the most important point is that no matter how hard mortals try or resist, they cannot touch the fringes of the upper realm.
If there's a fight, it's not about ten against zero, but one hundred against zero, or even a thousand against zero.
They all couldn't bring themselves to speak, so this villain would have to be dealt with by them alone.
Suddenly.
Sniffles echoed through the meeting room again.
Yang Dingtian swept his eyes across the faces of the women, very clearly understanding that no one felt more stifled than them. But there was nothing he could do about it. What a pitiful national master!
But I have to ask.
"Do any of you still have objections"
None of the women responded.
Thousands of words in my heart can't compare to the simple fact that I am not strong enough. If there was even a slight chance of winning by resisting, I would act without hesitation. But there is no chance of victory, and not only that, but there's also the risk of dragging the people of Xia down with me.
If Luo Ye were still alive, how could he bear to see the people of Daxia suffer so
Yang Diting continued, “If there are no objections, let’s discuss whether we have any room for negotiation.”
With the general direction set, it's time to discuss the details.
Shàngguān Ròu took the lead and said: "We cannot force the construction of temples, it should be left to the people's voluntary contributions. We cannot make public worship mandatory, it should be based on individual choice. We cannot enforce a national faith, it should be up to personal belief. We cannot establish designated religious days, and we should allow statues of the deceased to remain."
Huangfu Qing said coldly, “We cannot suppress martial arts. We should allow martial arts and cultivation to compete freely, and let the people choose for themselves!”
If someone cultivates to the level of Ye Fusheng, perhaps there would still be a chance.
Qin Mulan also solemnly said, “The national ruler cannot be changed; you must continue to serve until the very last moment!”
If you don't trust others, what if someone like Jia Sidao, a traitor who sold out the country, emerges again
Yang Dingtian pondered for a moment: "Too many conditions, the upper realm won't agree."
A meeting is about figuring out a common bottom line that everyone agrees on. They are saying that their upper limit will not be accepted under any circumstances. If a resolution isn't reached tonight, there will be casualties among the people of Daxia, and possibly even other calamities.
Therefore, it is imperative to discuss and clarify everything thoroughly.
Yin Chuchu said in a deep voice, "Why don't we all go to the Human Emperor Island and rebuild Daxia there, continue our strength, and one day we will kill our way to the Upper Realm!"
No one responded.
Because this sentence can only be said, it's impossible to do.
Without mentioning whether the upper limit has been improved over the past millennia, nor mentioning those who cultivate day and night to reach Heavenly Immortals, let alone Golden Immortals or Immortal Emperors, all of them have grown up from their most vigorous period of Qi.
Today's environment can no longer support large-scale cultivators reaching the "Immortal" level, nor is their talent sufficient, so it will never be possible.
And then I waited some more.
Yang Dingtian saw that no one was speaking, so he could only take the initiative and say: “I think temples can be repaired, worship can also be carried out, and belief can also exist, but we cannot prioritize beliefs from the upper realm. We must also prioritize the current development. In this way, the upper realm will be more receptive.”
He paused for a moment and said, "Perhaps one day in the future, our technology can develop to the point where it targets the Upper Realm. There's only a glimmer of hope if we can endure until that time comes."
"It's just... we may not get to see it."
Development takes time, a long time, perhaps several generations of effort, but it is the only possibility.
The women looked at each other, their faces etched with resentment, but they had no other choice.
"At the same time, he said, "I obey your orders, Your Majesty!"What evidence do you have" Yang Dingtian countered."You still haven't changed!" The Heavenly Official responded coldly.He then waved his hand.Suddenly, the curtains floating around Xia all became gian...
