After Number One finished speaking, seeing that none of the other four people present said anything, he revealed a relaxed smile, and the haze on his face was swept away. "Now that we are facing a great crisis, it's a crisis for the entire country, and even the entire human race.
At this time, if you have anything to say, just say it. Premier Ning, although the Ning family in the illusion was annexed by the Luo family, it doesn't involve the secular world. Now that you're in control of the real power, why don't you have anything to say? "
Ning Guangyao smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help but ask, "Chief, the situation in the illusion is already chaotic. The Luo family has two Tai Qing Stage experts, and they're already the best in the entire illusion. Will they really not get involved in the secular power?"
"Don't worry, they won't," Number One said faintly, "Although the Luo family is unstoppable, their enemy is the gods. Seizing the power of the secular world is of no use, and it will only cause the Array Protectors to be dissatisfied. They won't do such a stupid thing."
At the mention of the "Array Protectors", Yang Gongming and Li Moshen's eyebrows twitched. The two patriarchs looked at each other. They didn't expect that Number One, the Yang and Li patriarchs would calmly mention this secret that was only known by the Chief, the Yang and Li patriarchs.
From this, it could be seen that there was indeed no need to hide anything at the moment of life and death. Everything was based on the foundation of Hua Xia.
As expected, Ning Guangyao and Cai Yuncheng were puzzled, and asked what the Array Protectors meant.
Number One didn't hide much, and generously explained the origins of the two Array Protectors.
The exact ages of the two seniors were unknown, but it was certain that they were the ancestors of the Yang Family and the Li Family.
This was also why, in the past, there had been rulers who suppressed the Yang Family and the Li Family, but never let the two families die off.
At the level of the two Array Protectors, not to mention the family, they actually didn't care too much about the change of the dynasty.
To put it bluntly, if Number One was killed by a spy of a country today, they wouldn't do anything, because it was a normal dispute in the secular world.
Unless the gods or a certain cultivator wanted to seize power and kill Number One, then they wouldn't do anything.
As long as Hua Xia's foundation was there, leaving a trace of incense for his descendants, that would be enough.
As for expanding the territory and protecting the country, that was a matter for the people of Hua Xia.
As for the descendants of the Yang Family and the Li Family, those who deserved to die would die, those who deserved to suffer losses would suffer losses, and those who deserved to be exterminated would be exterminated. As long as they were not completely exterminated, they would not interfere.
Of course, this was also a guess that the rulers of the past had come up with in the process of probing. They did not know what the bottom line of the two array protectors was.
All in all, in the past hundred years, the guardians of the array had never helped the Yang Family or the Li Family. Even when Yang Gongming's generation was killed in the war, they never showed up.
Perhaps, over the years, the bloodline of the Yang Family and the Li Family had changed countless times.
Rather than saying that the two guardians were protecting their descendants, it would be more accurate to say that they had a sense of belonging to their family.
Even Yang Gongming and Li Moshen did not care much about the bloodline relationship. For people like them, it was actually a little superficial.
"Although I am the one who has the most contact with the guardians in the secular world, and even in the whole of Hua Xia, I have never seen them. Every time, it is them who communicate with me through their divine senses.
I'm afraid it's not just me. The previous leaders have only heard their voices, but never seen them. The two guardians come and go as they please, there is no way to figure out their thoughts … "Number One said with emotion.
Some cold sweat seeped out of Ning Guangyao's forehead. He thought to himself, "No wonder the Ning family had firmly ordered me not to have any ill intentions towards Number One … No wonder the hidden families had never dared to kill the Yang Family and the Li Family …"
It turned out that these two families still had such old monsters protecting their descendants? In that case, even if the Ning family was wiped out, the Yang Family and the Li Family might not be wiped out.
According to Number One, the guardian of the Li Family had once exerted pressure to suppress Yang Cheng. The two guardians must be more powerful than Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng alone had already stirred up a bloodbath in the illusion and wiped out the immortals and demons. How powerful would the guardian be?
But it made sense. After all, they were old families with thousands of years of heritage. Without this bit of heritage, how could they have survived for so many years?
Yang Gongming and Li Moshen's eyes were filled with awe. They had learned this secret from the previous family leader and were fascinated by this ancestor that they had never seen before. Unfortunately … no one would have the chance to see him.
"Since that's the case … Chief, China and the entire world are facing an unprecedented disaster. The Gods are already trying to kill the humans, and the illusion is in a mess. Are the guardians still not willing to help?" Cai Yuncheng frowned and said.
Chief One smiled bitterly. "You still don't understand what I mean …"
The four of them looked at each other, slightly confused.
Number One sighed and stood up. He turned around and looked at the vast map of Hua Xia behind him with a complicated expression.
"I have already tried to ask the guardian how to deal with it, but he did not give me any reply …"
Speaking of this, Cai Yuncheng and the others looked shocked and worried.
"Could it be … that the guardian is going to … abandon us?" Ning Guangyao could not help but ask.
Number One turned his head and said, "Premier Ning, I have said before that countless emperors have been killed in the past. When a dynasty changes, the guardian will not interfere …"
"But this is different! If we don't take measures this time, the people of Hua Xia will freeze to death! It is not a change of regime or a change of dynasty!
Our intelligence personnel have sent back news that NATO and Russia are already planning to carry out the 'Noah's Ark Project'! They have excluded our Hua Xia, so the only possibility is to isolate us!
If all this is really the work of the Gods, then our ancestors of Hua Xia are enemies with the Gods. Does the guardian think that our Hongmeng still has the ability to fight against the Gods!?
Chief, don't you know that two months ago, the hidden families were defeated overseas and were no match for the Gods! "Ning Guangyao put his hands on the table and said agitatedly.
Number One frowned. "Premier Ning, I know you are angry, but it is useless to be hot-headed. There must be a reason why the Array Protector didn't show up. Can we force them to do it? "
Ning Guangyao's face turned red and white. He was full of anger but had nowhere to vent it.
Although he was passionate about power and was ruthless and unscrupulous, how could he bear to let all the people of Hua Xia die in vain when he was in this position?
If he did not even have a shred of conscience, he would not have been able to become the premier at such a young age.
When he thought of those innocent women and children who might have had a chance to be saved, but for some inexplicable reason, the guardian refused to help and let them freeze to death, he could not help but feel his eyes turn red.
"Hmph, I think it's not that they don't want to help, but that they don't dare. Maybe they think that they are no match for the Gods and are afraid of death." Ning Guangyao sneered.
Number One immediately reprimanded, "Premier Ning, don't talk nonsense!"
Ning Guangyao snorted. He was really angry, otherwise he would not say such words that could cause him big trouble.
"Cough cough …"
Yang Gongming looked a little old and clumsy. He coughed twice. The temperature was too low, and it was a little strenuous for his body.
"Premier Ning, it is hard to go against fate. Everything has a reason. The life and death of people is also a cycle of cause and effect. The guardian of the array is the ancestor of the Yang Family and the Li Family. Patriarch Li and I do not want to guess what they are thinking.
However, regardless of whether they are there or not, the current Hua Xia was built by us old fellows, brick by brick. It is our old comrade-in-arms, built with their heads and flesh …
Although we are old, we will not sit back and do nothing. The only thing we can do is to do our part well. As for who will write the final ending, who knows? "
"That's right." Li Moshen said solemnly, "Old Yang is right. Since the other countries are watching us, then we should put on a good show and see who can stay until the end."
Number One nodded with a gratified smile. "Today, I called you all here for this reason. The people of the country are in the freezing cold. Other than us officials, they can't rely on anyone else.
The people here, including me, have always been relying on the strength of those cultivators. Now, it is time for us to rely on ourselves and think of a way.
This battle is unavoidable. We must tide through it with the people and fight to the last moment … "
