Chapter 780: Chapter 730: Alliances Are Meant to Be Broken
The purpose of signing agreements is also to break them. If an agreement could not be broken, then there’s no point in making one.
For those top powers and ultimate beings, their willingness to compromise with Pei Xuanjing stems from the undeniable fact that they need his valuable assistance as well as the recognition of his capabilities.
Yet, while Pei Xuanjing has the strength to stand on equal footing with them, earning him his rightful benefits, what about the others who lack such power?
Therefore, everything is temporary, so is their compromise.
Of course, it’s not that they necessarily want to break this agreement. In fact, they absolutely won’t, for to blatantly breach the pact would be a dismissal and contempt towards Pei Xuanjing, the ultimate being. Such disdain would trigger his wrath, forcing him into action regardless of his willingness. A situation even those top powers and ultimate beings don’t wish to see.
So, what would they do?
Simply put, they would initially comply with their agreement with Pei Xuanjing, await the successful merging of the two worlds, then share their respective proportions of benefits, thus fulfilling their agreement.
And then, once Pei Xuanjing would have distributed the gains of the native forces of the Daming World, those forces from the Sky Wasteland would reclaim those benefits. That seemed like the most appropriate method.
“We have respected the agreement and allocated your fair share, but those you’ve received were too weak to guard their interests, thus their benefits were captured by others. There is simply nothing that can be done about it.”
This is the truth of the top powers and ultimate beings’ intentions. Following through with this operation, they manage to save face for Pei Xuanjing, without any loss to their own interests, at most they are circulated among the local forces of the Daming World.
In face of such manipulation, unless Pei Xuanjing holds all the allocated interests in his possession without distribution, there’s no way to prevent such a situation.
The gap between the strong and the weak is clear – the weak can only submit before the strong. The survival rules of the Sky Wasteland have remained unchanged for thousands of years. The reason that the rules laid down by Pei Xuanjing can be implemented and recognized is that he has sufficient strength and the endorsement of other ultimate beings.
In the present situation, those who wish to monopolize the oncoming fortunes are in fact the ultimate beings and top powers supporting Pei Xuanjing. If they really make a move, Pei Xuanjing cannot stop them.
Beyond that, apart from these top forces and ultimate beings of the human race, the Demon Race is also eying the human race. They won’t sit idly by while the human race easily digests the benefits it’s gained, becoming even stronger.
If the designs and plundering of various forces within the human race do not greatly impact the overall power of the human race, then the coveting of the Demon Race will be completely different.
According to their original agreement, the Demon Race occupies 35% and the human race 65%. The larger the benefits gained from the merger of the two worlds, the greater the gap and disparity between the pieces of the pie the two races can get.
With an interest allocation close to double, can the Demon Race really stand by and willingly give it up? If it hadn’t been for the pressing situation at the time, would they really have compromised?
However, the compromise at the time was for them to have a chance to participate. Once the two worlds are truly combined, with such enormous benefits, the Demon Race will definitely not willingly hand them over easily.
While it might be possible to suppress the numerous struggles within the human race with the alliance of many ultimate beings, the conflict between the human race and the Demon Race is a genuine “us against them” situation. The years of disputes between the human and demon races are simply due to matched strengths, with neither side able to get the upper hand.
However, once the human race really gains such enormous benefits and digests these forces to become even stronger, they will inevitably turn their blades on the Demon Race, completely annihilating it. This is an undeniable fact.
To prevent such a situation from happening, the Demon Race will inevitably take action; they won’t allow the human race to smoothly digest these benefits.
One can say that, no matter what, the situation will not be stable in the foreseeable future. After the merging of the two worlds, it seems that all parties will be able to reap the benefits of ascending the heaven and earth, using these opportunities to steadily improve their own strength.
However, this is, in fact, the beginning of a brutal situation. The upcoming period will indeed be the best time for numerous cultivators to cultivate, but it will also be the most severe period for power struggles.
Being fully aware of this situation, the True Martial Sect, the Foreigner Alliance, and the Demonic Cult have all chosen to boost their strength like mad, trying their utmost to make themselves more powerful.
Besides the fact that they don’t want to miss this opportunity, seeking to capitalize on this chance to strengthen themselves, they also want to possess greater strength to guard their existing interests, preventing others from seizing them.
Of course, while today’s True Martial Sect, Foreigner Alliance, and Demonic Cult aim to guard their own interests, once they truly grow stronger, their mentality and perspective may instantly change, turning them into plunderers like those forces from the Sky Wasteland.
“Everyone hustles and bustles for profit. Whether cultivators from the Sky Wasteland or from the Daming World, at the root of the matter, there’s no difference.” Pei Xuanjing’s mind remains unmoved by the slightest ripple. He doesn’t find all of this surprising in the least.
Not to mention these cultivators, isn’t he in the same situation? Despite everything he’s done benefiting countless cultivators and beings, at the end of the day, he does it all for his own interests.
The news of Pei Xuanjing’s breakthrough and stepping into the strongest realm spread throughout the world pretty quickly. Even those ultimate beings in the Sky Wasteland working on the plan of merging the two worlds knew about it. Apart from being shocked at Pei Xuanjing’s breakthrough in such a short time, they did not show much reaction.
Before his breakthrough, Pei Xuanjing had suppressed the Taixu Venerable, an ultimate being, with his Spirit Realm Eightfold, indicating that he possessed the combat power of ultimate beings. Many ultimate beings already viewed Pei Xuanjing as having completely broken the shackles. The only thing he lacked in breaking through the ultimate being realm was time.
Of course, the fact that Pei Xuanjing broke through in such a short period of time, once again shattering the record of Spirit Realm Ninefold cultivators, shocked them. But given his previous experience of advancing to the Spirit Realm Eightfold in less than a hundred years, they believe his quick progress to be only natural.
