Chapter 800: Chapter 799: Shifting the Conflict
Ji Bangying’s question caused all the powerful members of the Hidden Sect to nod, and once again their gazes locked onto Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang nodded, saying, "That’s right, that’s the crux of the issue."
"In fact, the real problem also lies here. If all the experts of the Hidden Sect could feel that they can live together harmoniously and lovingly with the people of Divine Continent, then the great integration of the Hidden Sect and the Divine Continent People would be easily pushed forward."
The people of the Hidden Sect smiled faintly and shook their heads to themselves.
It seemed so, but in reality, integrating two groups living under different systems on a large scale brings conflicts in many aspects, and even if powerful experts suppressed it, it would eventually erupt.
The key issue was that there were hundreds of thousands of experts in the Hidden Sect beyond the Energy Transformation Realm, each with a different worldview, even though many believed the Hidden Sect and the Divine Continent were originally one family, all descendants of Yanhuang.
But still a large number of people didn’t take this matter seriously.
Human nature, when it comes down to it, is selfish and greedy.
We are now part of the world, so why shouldn’t we fight for a better life based on our own abilities, instead of being confined to the Divine Continent Land, restricted by the rules and regulations of Divine Continent?
For them, if Divine Continent wasn’t an option, then they’d go abroad; the Earth is so vast, the outside world so exhilarating. They could jump out, even establish their own kingdoms where they could set their own laws and regulations—wouldn’t that be carefree and leisurely?
So now the issue is that Divine Continent needs to retain people.
Retain talent.
In the current world structure, Martial Artists from the Hidden Sect, especially those in the Inner Strength Middle Late Stage and beyond, are the real talents.
These talents are Divine Continent’s most precious resources, and must not be lost.
As long as these talents are willing to stay in Divine Continent, possessing a mindset and awareness to lead Divine Continent towards a glorious future, then the Yanhuang Nation can absolutely forge a glorious era for Divine Continent once again.
Surpassing the martial prowess of Han and Tang dynasties would not be out of the question.
Qin Yanyang swept his gaze around the group, noting the varied expressions of the Hidden Sect’s powerful faction representatives, and he felt a slight sinking in his heart.
These people seemed peaceful and courteous for the moment but were inherently very proud and arrogant.
Of course, they had the grounds to be proud and arrogant.
To these people, Qin Yanyang was not stingy in giving them due respect, as well as conceding significant rights to them.
But there was one condition: these people must be loyal to Divine Continent, no, not necessarily to Divine Continent, but they must be loyal to the Yanhuang Nation.
Powerful figures who couldn’t ultimately be loyal to Divine Continent, to the Yanhuang Nation, would not be considered special talents and assets but would instead become a disaster for Divine Continent.
Qin Yanyang had grown up in a unique environment, possessing an absolutely sincere heart.
She was naturally endowed with a noble spirit and was absolutely loyal to Divine Continent, her greatest ambition being to protect the Divine Continent People, to revive Divine Continent, and to return it to its former glory.
Thus, deep within her heart, she also demanded that those around her love their country and their nation.
Regarding the powerful influence of the Hidden Sect, she was both incredibly wary and yet also placed great hope and expectation on it.
At this moment, in front of these Hidden Sect patriarchs, she very much wanted to speak about patriotism and national spirit, but the words withdrew back to the tip of her tongue.
"I understand that human nature is the most difficult to comprehend. But the people of the Hidden Sect, all are Yanhuang Nation, the people of Divine Continent, and moreover, descendants of Yanhuang. Essentially, a thousand years ago, we belonged to one tribe.
Moreover, I have also heard that the greatest mission of the existence of the Hidden Sect is to protect Divine Continent, to safeguard the Yanhuang Nation.
In this special era of global upheaval, a millennium rarity, whether Divine Continent can renew its glory depends on whether the elders of the Hidden Sect possess this sincere heart."
Given the potent power of the Hidden Sect various factions in today’s world, even if they chose not to stay in Divine Continent, they could dominate anywhere they went. Therefore, many people are unwilling to be constrained by the secular laws of Divine Continent and wish to leave.
As a junior, I still hope that all the seniors could stay in Divine Continent and lead it to regain its glory.
In terms of the rights, status, and wealth you want, and even the prosperity of your descendants — given your powerful abilities, once Divine Continent becomes the global hegemon, won’t these things be available then?
Why should you all, during this special period when the whole world is potentially involved in a devastating war, still fret about rights and status — things that you can easily obtain if you wish?
In my opinion, if you seniors unite with Divine Continent and join forces against the foreign races, even to completely crush Heaven and Penglai Realm, then with the Earth being so vast, who else could contend with Divine Continent?
At that time, if you desire rights, resources, and status, you can freely compete for them, no one will stop you, nor would anyone dare to stop you."
"Hehehe, such an eloquent young child, the outside really chose well to send you in," Ouyang He laughed heartily.
Wang Chunyang smiled and said, "Worthy of being the Heavenly Pride Girl that only appears once every thousand years in the secular world of Divine Continent, this speech of yours would put us old folks to shame if we did not prioritize Divine Continent and the Yanhuang Nation."
Ji Bangying also smiled and nodded, "Indeed, with this speech of hers, there’s no need to discuss any plans, we just need to properly manage and restrain our younger generations and foster harmony between the two realms’ peoples. Once we collectively resist the foreign races, then we can vie internally thereafter, even if it ends in fighting and wounding, it’ll still be like a fight between brothers."
"Hehe, that’s the spirit," Sect Master Zhang chuckled.
Huang Chengcheng also laughed, but he soon spoke seriously, "Ladies and gentlemen, this child indeed intends to have you prioritize resisting foreign threats first and unite internally with her words. Yet, she has also touched on the core issue.
Given the current strength of our families, facing Heaven and Penglai Realm alone would probably be too stressful. But if we unite, not to say completely annihilate Heaven and Penglai Realm, at least defeating them thoroughly wouldn’t be a big problem.
Once Heaven and Penglai Realm are thoroughly defeated, with the earth being so vast, any of our families could dominate wherever they chose, and the rights and status obtained by then would be many times greater than what we are fighting for in Divine Continent now."
Helian Zhan nodded and said, "It’s true, since we are here to live on Earth for a long time, we cannot allow Earth to be extensively damaged. We must end this war quickly and then lead Divine Continent to glory, allowing the Yanhuang Nation to cover the globe and become the sovereign of Earth."
Wang Chunyang also smiled and said, "When that time comes, if my Wang Family asks for Australia, who would object?"
The crowd laughed heartily upon hearing this.
When the time comes for the Yanhuang Nation to dominate the globe, not to mention Langya Wang Family asking for just Australia, even if they asked for much more, no one else would mind.
After all, Earth is so vast and there are plenty of fertile lands. How many people does the Hidden Sect have to manage such a large place?
Seeing that Huang Chengcheng’s words had the seniors laughing and talking lively, Qin Yanyang was secretly overjoyed.
Her greatest fear was that the top-level martial artists of the Hidden Sect couldn’t unite, worried that these people would attempt to meddle with the secular powers of Divine Continent and fight among themselves first.
Now, with these individuals looking to the future and deciding to unite against external threats, she felt relieved.
Next, she just needed the mid and lower-tier members of the Hidden Sect in the experimental zone to stay put.
With the intense external conflicts to draw their focus, internal conflicts should fade and be postponed.
This, in turn, would buy the secular world of Divine Continent a little time to develop.
If Heaven and Penglai Realm were truly defeated in the future and the Yanhuang Nation rose to global prominence, she would also need to ensure the original classes of Divine Continent hold steadfast to this ancestral in.
By then, the struggle against these Hidden Sect forces would come into the open.
This would require cultivating a large number of powerful experts.
Upon this consideration, she turned her head to look at someone sitting beside her.
Damn!
She wasn’t planning to ask for his help, but now, she could only rely on this guy!
