The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1108

Chapter 1108: Chapter 1056–Chapter 1057 Life Simulation–Conference for Discussions, Endless Troubles_2 Chapter 1108: Chapter 1056–Chapter 1057 Life Simulation–Conference for Discussions, Endless Troubles_2 It was coincidental that they were at the very mountain peak where the Shenxiao True Monarch had clashed with the Unforgettable Immortal Monarch, Meng Wushang.

Their fierce battle, even the mere aftereffects, had severed the mountain mid-way, creating a vast plateau perfect for the gathering of the Rebel Kings and Princes and various family Religious Sects for their meeting.

At this moment, the Rebel Kings and Princes, and the strong members of each family's Religious Sect had taken their seats, debating and discussing many matters, especially concerning when to send troops and how to conduct the military action.

In times like these, these Religious Sects and families no longer concealed themselves. They put everything out in the open, sitting on equal footing with the Rebel Kings and Princes, each occupying a side, ready to divide their interests.

This grand alliance was not only about deciding how to attack Da Xing City but also a rehearsal for the future division of interests. Each side continually brought forth their thoughts and plans, clashing and probing one another to scope out the others' limits.

As one of the princely Rebel Kings, the Righteous King was among the most distinguished and naturally had the right to sit upon one of the large chairs representing his status.

Sitting behind him were some of his most powerful men, with some of his trusted followers attending this meeting with him, aside from those holding the fort at the Allied Army Camp.

Under normal circumstances, Sun Liang would not involve himself in such matters and would voluntarily remain at the camp. But this time Sun Liang did not stay behind to guard the camp, and instead accompanied the Righteous King here.

However, Sun Liang kept a low profile, standing silently behind the Righteous King, listening to the argument without voicing his opinion.

Sun Liang did not need to make any move; simply sitting behind the Righteous King provided him with ample confidence.

Because not long ago, the Righteous King had received a response from Sun Liang–a response, or rather a promise, from the formidable Shenxiao True Monarch to provide the Righteous King with some help in the times ahead, if he could demonstrate greater value and The True Monarch would not be averse to cooperating with him.

Any cooperation doesn't happen overnight, especially of their sort.

So at first, even though the Righteous King had laid all his cards on the table, he hadn't expected that the other party would easily support him just because of these offerings.

Now, having received a commitment from the other party was already a great start for him, putting him leagues ahead of his many competitors.

What he needed to do next was to showcase his value, to make it clear to the Shenxiao True Monarch that he was worth collaborating with.

Therefore, at the moment in this grand alliance, the Righteous King had grand ambitions at heart, with a series of plans unfolding in his mind.

“We have been here for three days now, yet in these three days we have not discussed any concrete plans.”

“Every day is spent arguing back and forth without reaching any definitive conclusions.”

“Indeed, Da Xing City is within reach. No matter what, the obliteration of the Da Ye Dynasty is our common goal.”

“Nice words, but who will be the vanguard, and who will be the commander?”

“Exactly, being the vanguard to besiege the city will inevitably draw the thunderous strikes of the Da Xing royal house. You and I both know how much power the Da Ye royal house still has, and the vanguard will surely suffer the greatest losses.”

“Nonsense! The Da Ye Dynasty is cruel and inhumane, and we have risen to fight it for the people of the world, to restore clarity to Heaven and Earth. How can we cower in fear over some losses?”

“Right, overthrowing the Da Ye is following the mandate of Heaven. We cannot waver and shrink from action.”

“Hmph, sweet talk. If that's the case, then let your troops take the lead. No one will fight you for the glory.”

“We cannot simply play the vanguard and suffer losses, then serve as a mere stepping stone for others.”

At this moment, the Rebel Kings and Princes had no more considerations or courtesies, driven by their interests, they had to fight. For their own interests, they argued until their faces turned red, each sticking to their own views, and none would be easily persuaded.

The religious sects and noble families also watched with cold eyes, turning a deaf ear to the squabbling of these individuals, allowing them to argue on and on.

These figures, who once stood high above the commoners and lower-ranking cultivators, now shed all pretenses in their scramble for even the slightest advantage.

No one gave way, no one compromised, especially at this juncture, where stepping back could lead to complete elimination, leaving no chance to emerge as the ultimate victor.

One more step forward could establish a dynasty, achieve great accomplishments, and reign supreme for centuries, enjoying supreme honor, wealth, and boundless authority.

However, in the event of failure, one would either live in subjugation, being treated as fish meat by others, or possibly even fall from grace entirely, plummeting into the abyss.

Nobody was willing to serve as a stepping-stone, to fail at this juncture.

“Gentlemen, perhaps you will heed a word from this king,” said the Righteous King, who had been silent for a long while. His deep voice, though not loud, clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

As one of the several Rebel Kings and Princes, the Righteous King's status among them naturally went without saying. Since he had spoken, it naturally drew the attention of many who were eager to hear what insights the Righteous King had to offer.

“Please speak, Righteous King.”

“This king is also curious to hear what wisdom the Righteous King has to offer.”

“With exceptional wisdom, the Righteous King surely has a unique perspective.”

The entire alliance meeting place gradually quieted down, all eyes on the Righteous King.

The Righteous King then said, “Actually, gentlemen, it is clear that at this stage, the power of the Da Ye Dynasty is concentrated here, but the outcome of the final battle truly lies in the struggle between powerhouses. Now that the founder of Da Ye and Emperor Zhongzong are powerful, they are the real supports of the Da Ye Dynasty. Without their deaths, even if we capture Da Xing City, it will all be meaningless.”

Whether the Da Ye Dynasty could be overturned was not really about one province or one city, nor was it about whether Da Xing City could be breached.

The true backbone of the Da Ye Dynasty was the support of powerhouses like the founder of Da Ye and Emperor Zhongzong, as well as those millions of soldiers; this is the real root and pillar of the dynasty.

As long as these elements still exist, then even if Da Xing Dynasty is breached, it would ultimately be meaningless, and it wouldn't truly eliminate the power of the Da Ye Dynasty, leaving hidden dangers instead.

To say more, even if Da Xing City is breached and those millions of soldiers are annihilated, letting powerhouses like the founder of Da Ye and Emperor Zhongzong escape, their threat would be even greater without anything to hold them back.

A Ghost Immortal who is at the seventh or eighth tribulation, or at the Human Immortal Peak, or even a powerhouse who has engendered flesh and blood without any concerns and is determined to take revenge, is not just a threat to the Rebel Kings and Princes but even the top religious sects and noble families must be wary.

After all, there is a saying that one can be a thief for a thousand days, but one cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days. Even in sects teeming with powerhouses like the Dao of Supreme, Creation Dao, and Great Zen Temple, the powerhouses in their sects might not fear these two individuals, but should these two decide to launch stealth attacks against ordinary members and disciples, they would pose a tremendous calamity.

On the other hand, if the top combat forces of the Da Ye Dynasty are suppressed, and it loses its core support, the rest would be unable to shield themselves. Even a million-strong army could be gradually worn down, and eventually destroyed or assimilated–trivial matters.

Therefore, to annihilate the Da Ye Dynasty, we absolutely cannot let the founder of Da Ye and Emperor Zhongzong survive. Even if some members of the royal family flee, we can't allow such powerhouses to live and become future troubles.”

“Wise words indeed!”

“Such a heroic figure as the founder of Da Ye, if he escapes, would pose an immense threat to us all, leading to endless troubles.”

Although the founder of Da Ye has not revealed himself in recent years, those present grew up hearing tales of his deeds or, for some veterans among them, have even cooperated with him in the past.

They all knew well the kind of person the founder of Da Ye was, one who emerged amongst countless powerhouses during the last change of dynasties, which speaks to his formidable nature.
