Chapter 1542: Chapter 1490 – Chapter 1491: Ready-Made Opportunity Chapter 1542: Chapter 1490 – Chapter 1491: Ready-Made Opportunity In Pei Xuanjing's view, the maintenance of any plan and rules is not solely because of the existence of some people.
The plan and the rules should safeguard the interests of the majority; this is the foundation for their stability.
If a plan and its rules deviate from their original intent and stray from the initial design, then their end is not far off.
Just like when the Heavenly Court of the Divine Land World was first established, it was flourishing, especially after defeating the Demon Race and seizing the position of master of heaven and earth, putting the entire human race in a state of active expansion.
For this reason, the birth of the Expansion Plan of the Heavenly Court aligned with everyone's interests, was able to unify most of the cultivators, and suppress all opposing voices.
In this process of expansion, even though the benefits gained by various parties were not absolutely equal, they were relatively fair, enabling everyone to unite wholeheartedly.
At that time, this plan had the support of everyone, and even if there were some who were dissatisfied and sabotaged it in secret, it was to no avail; it did not affect the overall situation.
Once, everyone was trapped within the Divine Land World, lacking cultivation resources, devoid of fortuitous opportunities, unable to advance further. The scant resources of the Divine Land World were not even enough for many True Immortals to share, let alone ordinary cultivators; hence, there were not many disputes, also because there was nothing worth disputing.
But now, after ten thousand years, everything from the beginning can be considered completely changed.
If the cultivators of the Divine Land World were once like impoverished people without excess grain, then now they are like those with small savings, surplus from year to year.
This naturally leads to significant changes in their ideas, and their mindset is no longer as it was initially.
After all, no one can guarantee that the beneficiaries and the non-beneficiaries will be aligned, especially when the non-beneficiaries are unwilling; anything said or done by the beneficiaries cannot mask their true nature.
Pang Hong and his ilk have good intentions, but they represent only themselves, and moreover, they are the greatest beneficiaries under the current situation.
They wish to maintain because they benefit, but what about others? For those who cannot benefit, or receive less than they give, they would rather smash these things and replace them with rules that align with their interests.
If only a minority of beings felt this way, it would be one thing, but if everyone no longer desires it, then despite elaborating plans and exhausting every effort, one cannot achieve or maintain it, and would instead stand in opposition to everyone, turning from a leader of the era's trend into a conservative of the new world.
Sometimes the will of the people is the most crucial aspect, yet it is not eternal.
Just like now, after ten thousand years, everyone has become more ambitious, no longer satisfied with their situation, wishing for more and needing to reshuffle and evolve, even though they have gained innumerable benefits.
“This plan has lasted ten thousand years, which is already beyond my expectations,” Pei Xuanjing said with a light chuckle, “Ten thousand years of accumulation has made the Divine Land World stronger and reached an unprecedented golden age, which also means that conflicts begin; this is inevitable.”
To tell the truth, when Pei Xuanjing proposed this expansion plan, one reason was to accomplish his goals, and another was to alleviate the internal contradictions of the Divine Land World.
After all, at that time, the resources in the Divine Land World were far from sufficient. If no solution had been found to ease the pressure, for the many powerful beings who had just defeated the Demon Race, they would not hesitate to fight a civil war to secure enough cultivation resources.
It was Pei Xuanjing's plan that eased this tension and solved the problem of insufficient resources, allowing the Divine Land World to flourish and develop abundantly.
However, even so, Pei Xuanjing still felt that the plan at that time was only a temporary expedient and did not believe it could thoroughly solve the problem; this issue would inevitably resurface.
Now that the plan has continued for nearly ten thousand years, this has already been quite unexpected, and even if disturbances start now, Pei Xuanjing feels there is nothing concerning.
Because in his view, it has reached the time for chaos; after all, the initial contradictions had only been temporarily suppressed, not thoroughly resolved, so now that they can no longer be contained and have erupted again, it is just a normal occurrence; there's no need to worry too much, just let nature take its course.
“But Master, this is extremely detrimental for the Shenxiao Sect,” Pang Hong said.
The Shenxiao Sect, being the beneficiaries, naturally finds their interests harmed by changes in the situation; this is undeniable.
These powerful individuals may not care about these gains and losses, but what about the many disciples below them? The Shenxiao Sect is not what it once was, having countless disciples; any fluctuation in the situation will inevitably affect their interests and their cultivation.
“Don't take these things too seriously. The Shenxiao Sect also started from scratch. Even if these containers break and we return to having nothing as before, as long as people are still here, we can once again recover everything,” Pei Xuanjing said calmly, unconcerned about Pang Hong's worries.
