Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16235

Chapter 16233. Considerations

Upon hearing the patriarch’s words, everyone else was stunned. Then, they all frowned. They had always kept their distance from the sects because they were well aware that the royal family had been suppressing the sects and had even joined forces with them to suppress them. Even the Creation God Sect had previously suppressed the sects. It could be said that the sects were the enemies of all of them at that time. If it weren’t for the fact that there were too many sects and they were worried that if they suppressed them too harshly, the Divine Kingdom would be in chaos, and the sects would probably be finished by now. Therefore, they had always kept their distance from those sects. But now, the patriarch said that he wanted to unite with the sects to deal with the Myriad Laws God Sect. This was indeed a bit excessive, so everyone remained silent for a while.

At this moment, one of the family heads frowned and spoke up, “If we really cooperate with the sects, won’t that displease the royal family? What if they cause us trouble later?”

He continued, “We shouldn’t overestimate the royal family’s strength. Our aristocratic alliance and sect alliance are actually stronger than the royal family. The royal family is only acting out of righteousness. If we truly unite with the sects, the royal family will definitely not dare to do anything to us. This way, it will be unlikely they can suppress us again. However, this doesn’t mean we’re going to rebel; we just want to gain more power.”

Hearing this, the family heads exchanged glances. To be honest, their aristocratic families had all reached a bottleneck in their development over the years, and there was no possibility of further progress. After all, although the Divine Kingdom… Although the kingdom is vast, all the benefits have already been distributed. If they want to grow stronger, there are only two options: first, internal strife, with each family fighting and swallowing the others; second, rebellion, overthrowing the royal family, which would reshuffle the entire kingdom and determine who emerges victorious. Neither of these options is what they desire. Of course, they could attack sects, but those sects are powerful, and attacking them would be exactly what the royal family wants. If they and the sects fight to the death, the royal family will punish them without mercy. This is why they dare not easily start a war; if their strength weakens, neither the royal family nor the sects will let them off the hook.

This time, with the fall of the Creation God Sect, they gained a large slice of the pie, boosting their family’s strength. They tasted the sweetness of victory, so they immediately wanted to deal with the Myriad Laws God Sect’s provocation.

At this moment, Gongsun Xing glanced at everyone and then said, “If we really join forces with the sect to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, we might indeed be able to destroy it. However, we will definitely face the censure of the royal family afterward. If we resist, we will break ties with the royal family. At that time, the royal family will definitely try every means to deal with us. It’s hard to say whether a second Myriad Laws Divine Sect or a second Creation Divine Sect will appear. Have you all thought it through?”

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say this. Then their expressions changed, and they all lowered their heads. They really didn’t want to break ties with the royal family now, so they were all hesitant.

At this moment, the patriarch who had advised everyone to unite with the sects spoke up: “Now that things have come to this, why don’t we take a gamble? What do you all think?”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent again, still unable to make a decision. Then, Gongsun Xing glanced at the patriarch and continued: “You may not know why, for so many years, we haven’t broken ties with the royal family. Even when the royal family suppressed us, we and the various sects never openly broke ties with them. Aren’t you all curious? Clearly, our aristocratic family alliance and sect alliance are stronger than the royal family, so why haven’t we broken ties with them? Have you all thought about this question?”

Everyone looked at each other, some of them had indeed thought about this question before, but they had never understood why, so everyone looked at Gongsun Xing.

Gongsun Xing glanced at everyone and then said, “Actually, this is a secret. Very few people know it. Right now, only I and a few elders from various sects know about it. Whether it’s our aristocratic family alliance or the sect alliance, our strength is actually quite formidable. Our strength has long surpassed that of the royal family. But why haven’t we rebelled yet? Let me tell you, the biggest reason is that the royal family still has an ancestor.”

His words stunned everyone. They looked at Gongsun Xing with some confusion, not understanding what he meant. So what if the royal family had an ancestor? Did that ancestor possess some extraordinary ability?

Gongsun Xing looked at everyone and said, “No one knows exactly how strong that ancestor of the royal family is. All we know is that when the Divine Kingdom was established, that ancestor personally fought against fifty kingdom-level experts from the previous dynasty. He killed them all in just a quarter of an hour without sustaining any injury. Afterwards, he disappeared. He also said that he wouldn’t appear unless the royal family faced a life-or-death crisis. It’s certain that he didn’t use his full strength against those fifty kingdom-level experts. So, no one knows how strong he really is, or even if he’s alive now. But if such an expert is truly alive, do you know what that means? It means that if we…” “If we were to actually lure out that ancestor from the royal family, we would all die. He wouldn’t let anyone go. It’s precisely because that ancestor is there that none of us dare to touch the royal family. At least until we’re certain that the royal ancestor is dead, no one dares to touch the royal family.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then their faces turned extremely grim. Fifty kingdom-level experts, and from the previous dynasty at that. The kingdom-level experts sent by the previous dynasty must not have been weak; they must have been among the strongest. And he alone fought fifty people, killing them all in a quarter of an hour. That’s terrifying. With such an expert around, it’s no wonder the royal family is so stable now. Just as Gongsun Xing said, until we’re certain that such an expert is dead, no one dares to touch the royal family.

The patriarch who had previously suggested an alliance with the sects now looked extremely grim. He said in a deep voice, “So, does that mean we can’t unite with the sects?”

A glint flashed in Gongsun Xing’s eyes, and he continued in a deep voice, “No, quite the opposite. I think this time, we must unite with the sects to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. We need to eliminate the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and then see how the royal family reacts. If the royal family’s attitude towards us is very tough, it means that their ancestor is still alive. We can simply soften our stance and concede some benefits. However, if the royal family isn’t so powerful, and their reaction to our alliance with the sects isn’t so tough, but rather hesitant, it means that their ancestor may already be gone. They no longer have the confidence to deal with us. We can then slowly test the royal family, and perhaps even…” “To change the world here in the Divine Kingdom.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was initially stunned, but then their eyes lit up. Gongsun Xing, observing their expressions, continued, “Of course, this is a risky move. If the royal ancestor is still alive, we might be suppressed by the royal family. It depends on whether everyone is willing to take this risk.”

Hearing this, the family heads exchanged glances. Then, the family head who had previously advocated for uniting with the sects spoke up, “Let’s do it! Our family will do it! If we don’t test the waters, we’ll never know if the royal ancestor is still alive. So, what needs to be done must be done.”

The others nodded in agreement. Gongsun Xing, looking at everyone, smiled slightly and said, “Alright, let’s vote. Raise your hand if you agree to unite with the sects to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.”

Most of the people in the room… Hands were raised, and seeing that everyone else had raised their hands, Gongsun Xing said, “Alright, most people agree, so let’s do it this way. However, we must send someone to contact the sect first, explain our ideas, and see their reaction. Who is willing to contact the sect?”

The group exchanged glances, and then a family head spoke up, “We shouldn’t trouble two people with one matter. I think it’s best if Patriarch Gongsun contacts the sect. You can represent us perfectly well. Besides, this time we’re going to fight the Myriad Laws Divine Sect together with the sect. If we don’t send someone of considerable influence, the sect might not even believe us. The Gongsun family is the largest family in the Divine Kingdom, so having you represent us is the best choice.”

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Gongsun Xing looked at everyone and then said, “Alright, everyone agrees…” “Okay, then I’ll contact those sects and see their reaction. If they agree, then we’ll join forces to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. However, once we unite and eliminate the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, we can’t keep all the benefits they leave behind. We have to give half to those sects, otherwise they won’t agree. Actually, this is normal. If we were members of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, I would also want half the benefits, otherwise I wouldn’t do it. After all, this is offending the royal family, and their situation is even worse than ours. They might face even more retaliation from the royal family. If we don’t give them enough benefits, they won’t participate. These sects have been very careful these past few years, so giving them half the benefits this time is a must, otherwise we won’t be able to sway them.” Everyone nodded in agreement.
