Chapter 1349: Chapter 1296 – Chapter 1297 Who Is It?_2 Chapter 1349: Chapter 1296 – Chapter 1297 Who Is It?_2 Therefore, there was no need for him to refuse to take a seat. With the strength of the other party, if they truly wished to do something to him, it would make no difference whether he stood here or sat there.
“The world is vast and contains everything. Although you stand at the pinnacle of this world, in the end, your vision is still limited by this realm,” Pei Xuanjing said slowly.
Upon hearing this, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's expression subtly shifted, but he said nothing. Instead, he listened quietly, waiting for the other to continue speaking.
“In the boundless Chaos Void, among countless Eternal Sand Worlds, this realm is but one of them. Although it may be considered powerful, it is nevertheless insignificant, just one among the many in the Chaos…”
Although the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's recent action had not caused any harm to Pei Xuanjing, the combat strength demonstrated by the other party was recognized by Pei Xuanjing, who also appreciated the other's sensibility in not stubbornly resisting to the bitter end.
Therefore, whether Pei Xuanjing was genuinely satisfied or harbored the idea of Valuing Talent, he felt it necessary to try and see if he could truly bring this individual under the command of the Heavenly Court.
At present, the battle strength displayed by the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was only below that of the many True Immortals of the Heavenly Court, and this was even due to inherent flaws in his foundation. If those could be repaired, his strength would certainly advance further and he could become an important force within the Heavenly Court.
There is no such thing as absolute loyalty; it's merely that the price of betrayal isn't high enough.
From the perspective of the beings in this world, Pei Xuanjing and his people were ultimately outsiders. Their intentions were not pure; they wanted to integrate this world into the Great Ming World.
For some beings, this was equivalent to losing their freedom, their chance to remain independent and autonomous–something they might not be able to accept, even if they would benefit from it.
But conversely, while they might lose something, the benefits they could gain were also immense.
At least for these beings, the fact that the powerhouses from the Great Ming World wanted to assimilate this world did not do so by forceful means but chose a more gentle approach. This was undoubtedly a good choice.
Therefore, integrating this world into the Great Ming World, promoting the Great Ming World, and expanding the power of the Heavenly Court would likewise help these beings compensate for their own deficiencies and possess a broader future. After all, isn't this a win-win result?
So, when the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had his suspicions, Pei Xuanjing didn't hide his origins but slowly revealed them one by one.
“Divine Land World, Heavenly Court… Gods, True Immortal… Immortality, so that's how it is, that's how it is!” The expression of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was so shocked that he couldn't help repeating to himself, his demeanor somewhat dazed.
With his experience spanning tens of thousands of years, having seen all there is in this world, he never thought there would be anything left to astonish him.
Yet ever since the heavenly gate appeared, there was first Lord of Fire with his Supreme King Realm challenging Emperor Tianyang, the emergence of a new system, the construction of the heavenly gate.
Followed by his own research into Taoist Skill, attracted by its profound mystique, he ascended Myriad Laws Mountain, challenged the Emperor of Longevity before him, was effortlessly defeated, and now the boundless Chaos Void, Heavenly Court, Gods, True Immortal that the other party spoke of.
No doubt, all these events had shattered the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's original perceptions, leaving him with a complex expression, uncertain of how to respond.
Pei Xuanjing, however, did not rush him, allowing the other to slowly digest the information.
Because he understood that this news had come too abruptly, too urgently, even for an emperor who had lived tens of thousands of years, it was surprising and required time to process.
A gentle breeze blew across Myriad Laws Mountain, the violent disturbances caused by the clash between two top-tier powerhouses having long since dissipated without a trace, as if they had never occurred.
Pei Xuanjing toyed with the cup in his hand, sipping the wine within. What was an ordinary drink became like a celestial brew that had been aged for ten thousand years when he drank it.
The Divine Land World spoken of by the other party was, in fact, the Great Ming World.
There are many names for what was originally the Great Ming World. The strong who returned from the Sky Wasteland Realm called it the Ancestral Land, while the native beings of the Great Ming World referred to it as the Great Ming World.
Even after the later integration with the Sky Wasteland Realm, both sides' names were actually never changed, as the name alone can reveal one's origin.
However, after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, all the Gods had to venture into the Chaos Void, and names such as Ancestral Land or Great Ming World seemed somewhat biased and unable to fully represent all the strong beings.
Therefore, the name “Divine Land World” was proposed and became the recognized term, accepted by all the strong beings.
“So, you Gods and True Immortals, you seek out new-born worlds in the Chaos Void, intending to devour them, to turn them into nourishment for the Divine Land World, to help the Divine Land World to ascend, thereby promoting your own advancement,” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder said with shock and coldness in his eyes, his tone icy cold.
No matter how nice the other side had spoken, or how wonderful they had made it sound, he, a strong being who had lived for so many years, would not easily be deceived.
After the initial shock, it was easy for him to see straight through the facade and directly understand the true purpose of these people, or rather, of the Heavenly Court of the Divine Land World.
Invasion!
To invade new worlds, to plunder fortuitous opportunities and turn everything into the nourishment of the Divine Land World, as stepping stones for these strong beings to reach the pinnacle.
This is the essence of the truth, no matter how eloquent the other party is, they cannot conceal this fact.
“Although what you said sounds unpleasant, it is undeniable, the truth is exactly like that!” Pei Xuanjing exclaimed in surprise but did not deny it, thus admitting it.
The Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan, to find new worlds to merge with the Great Ming World, to ascend the world and bring a better future to all beings, to have a broader heaven and earth.
This is the point of view from all the beings of the Great Ming World, whereas, from the perspective of the strong like the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, who are about to merge their worlds into the Great Ming World, this is essentially an invasion.
No matter how much it is sugar-coated, no matter how much it is concealed, it is undeniable that this is invasion and plunder.
The stance differs between the two sides, as does their strength, so the way they see the same issue naturally diverges.
As for all this, Pei Xuanjing did not deny, nor did he need to, and many strong beings from the Heavenly Court would not deny it either.
Because they believe that their actions are not wrong, that this is for the benefit of more people.
What is a hero to one is a foe to another.
In other words, what is an influence to me, is a foe to you.
“You actually admitted it so directly!” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder said in exasperation, originally thinking that the other party would quibble, but Pei Xuanjing admitted it outright, truly taking him by surprise.
But while surprised, he had an even greater sense of foreboding, that the other side's bold admission signified confidence in their own strength and their commitment to their cause, which would not waver easily at his behest.
Perhaps, the piece of heaven and earth where he had grown was indeed about to face a catastrophe, an unprecedented disaster sweeping across all beings.
“Why should I not admit it? Because it is the truth, there is no need to refute it,” Pei Xuanjing said with a light laugh: “However, what we do is not all harmful to you, it also brings benefits, it brings a future.”
Not everything is absolutely harmful, sometimes what seems like a huge crisis, but if it can be resolved smoothly, then it may also be a once-in-lifetime opportunity.
