Chapter 1406: Chapter 1354–1355 Life Simulation–Yun Dynasty Chapter 1406: Chapter 1354–1355 Life Simulation–Yun Dynasty All creatures have selfish desires, only some can suppress their own, while some cannot. This holds true for individuals, and even more so for an entire race.
When it comes to cooperation, unreserved cooperation between two individuals is by far easier than that between two groups.
The will of a collective is inherently complex and changeable, and it is impossible for a whole group to be of one mind. If a group itself cannot fully agree, how can it completely trust another during cooperation?
Just like those allied with the Sui People Clan, they are not truly built on complete trust, but rather on amalgamation under the lure of interests, with a combination of carrots and sticks forcing those tribes to cooperate despite themselves.
They know that if they continue to follow this path, they will become vassals to the Sui People Clan. However, they have no ability to resist. Faced with the powerful force of the Sui People Clan, they can only comply to gain corresponding benefits; otherwise, they face annihilation with no other choice.
But for these feudal lords, it is not so. They consider each other as equal, even though there might be differences in strength. However, these differences are not so vast as to compel one party to submit to another.
In such a situation, they possess their independence, yet it is this very independence that ultimately hinders their ability to cooperate fully and without reservation.
For them, the Sui People Clan is a threat, and so are their allies. If they were to trust their allies completely and entrust everything to them, what would happen once the Sui People Clan is defeated? Would they be swallowed by their allies instead?
Since the feudal forces cannot unite without reservation, their defeat is inevitable, especially with the bandit-like tactics of the Sui People Clan sweeping up more and more tribes, growing like a rolling snowball.
Another twenty-odd years have passed, and nowhere has withstood the edge of the Sui People Clan's armies. One by one, the feudal lords were crushed, and even when these lords united, they were no match for the Sui People Clan.
Yet, even so, these feudal forces have not been destroyed and still hold considerable territory. Even as the Sui People Clan keeps defeating them, they have not pushed these lords to utter desperation.
Because these feudal forces each belong to the God Clan, having ancestral gods in their existence.
Even for those of the God Clan, invoking their ancestral gods to descend into the Mortal Realm requires time and a costly price. However, no one can guarantee they don't have ways to summon their ancestral gods quickly.
At this time, it was actually reaching the limit for these feudal forces. If the Sui People Clan were allowed to keep expanding, they would truly face extinction–a life-and-death threat to these members of the God Clan.
So, in the face of their race's survival, even if some methods to summon ancestral gods come with a tremendous cost, they no longer cared, for what cost could compare to the danger of their race being wiped out?
However, just as these feudal forces were about to make a last desperate stand, the King of the Fire Country spoke out. This supreme figure, wielding power over a kingdom in the Mortal Realm, called for negotiations between the Sui People Clan and the various feudal forces to forge peace.
This was the promise that the King of the Fire Country had made to Sui; he backed Sui's expansion from behind, and when the time was right, he would step forward as a mediator to quell the war between the two sides, allowing Sui to reap the greatest benefits without truly provoking the gods to descend.
For the King of the Fire Country, he needed Sui to establish a Human Clan's Kingdom to aid in completing his plan, not to provoke all opponents and make enemies of the entire world.
Now that Sui has reached this point, it is sufficient. Regardless of whether it might attract greater adversaries, if Sui were to continue to expand, then it would be beyond the King's control. Would Sui still be willing to help him complete his plans then?
Therefore, a ceasefire at this juncture is the best choice. The King of the Fire Country is not alone in this; he has also rallied several other kings to guarantee peace.
The topic of a ceasefire has been brought onto the agenda. At least with the intervention of the King of the Fire Country and several other kings, the Sui People Clan's army has halted.
After all, faced with the power of these kingdoms, the Sui People Clan, despite its strength, could not resist. The power of each of these kingdoms is unimaginable, especially since every one of these kings is a Demi-God Peak, beings who touch upon the Gods' Realm,
and, along with their Demigod Strong followers and the vast numbers of their armies, if they were to unite, they would be an untouchable force for all surrounding powers.
Even with Pei Xuanjing capable of contending against those Demigod Strong, the pure numbers of troops on both sides mean that even the elite soldiers of the Sui People Clan cannot compensate.
Therefore, in this situation, a temporary compromise is the best choice. However, even with a compromise, there are conditions attached. These feudal forces need to relocate the Mortal Clan within their territories, especially the human race, to the Sui People Clan's land, and also make sufficient monetary compensation.
