"Father, when will you come with me to see grandfather and grandmother," Shangguan Aojian asked. Shangguan Aojian asked. He seemed to think of something and smiled, "I made Changyang Xu call me elder brother in the past, but he was reluctant. Once I see grandfather and grandmother, I'll make him call me elder brother willingly. Haha, I really do look forward to seeing what kind of expression Changyang Xu makes."
Jianchen could not help but smile when he heard that. He looked at Shangguan Aojian gently and said, "Once we leave Three Saint Island, I'll take you back to Changyang Prefecture." Jianchen then looked at Shangguan Mu 'er and said, "Mu' er, come back with me as well. Let's go see my parents." A sliver of eagerness appeared in Jianchen's eyes.
Shangguan Mu 'er fell silent. She seemed to be conflicted, but after quite a while of consideration, she nodded gently in the end.
Jianchen immediately beamed with joy when Shangguan Mu 'er agreed. With his understanding of Shangguan Mu' er, she definitely would have turned him down without any hesitation if he had asked her something like that in the past. Now that Shangguan Mu 'er had agreed, it meant that she had changed quite a lot in the past few years.
"There's still two years before you and the Spiritking meet. Have you made up your mind about how much land you want to give to the World of Forsaken Saints?" Shangguan Mu 'er changed the topic and asked Jianchen about the issue of land.
Jianchen gently shook his head. He still had not made up his mind about how much land he wanted to give to the World of Forsaken Saints. At the same time, the matter involved the Sea race, the Hundred Races, and the magical beasts. He still needed to discuss it with the leaders of the other three races.
"Father, I've been traveling around the Tian Yuan Continent often in the past few years. Because the Tian Yuan Continent wants to give a portion of its land to the World of Forsaken Saints, I've specially made a few rounds around the territories that will be given away. I've discovered that basically half of the people living there are opposed to this matter. There are even a few people who are determined to protect their homes, so they've contacted the sects and clans that are unwilling to move as well. They've already formed a small group and are prepared to fend off the World of Forsaken Saints. They'd rather fight to the death than give up their territory. After all, those sects and clans have been operating in their territories for many years now. Many of them even have their ancestral homes there, so it'll be very difficult or even impossible for them to leave. Even if you give them enough wealth to rival an entire kingdom, they won't be tempted," said Shangguan Aojian.
Jianchen frowned when he heard that. The senses of his soul immediately expanded, enveloping the entire Tian Yuan Continent in a single moment. At that moment, all the millions of people on the Tian Yuan Continent were under Jianchen's observation. As expected, he saw countless human cultivators who were opposed to the move in the territories that were about to be given away. There were sects, clans, and a few rather powerful kingdoms. Clearly, these organizations had already banded together. They stood under the banner of an alliance and were determined to face death.
From the conversations of countless people, Jianchen could tell that most of them did not resent the sovereigns who had made this decision. They only felt extremely reluctant because they had been born on this land and had grown up on this land. They had managed this land for countless years, passing down their businesses and heritage from generation to generation. If they moved away just like that, all the time and effort they had spent to establish this land would go to waste. Even though the sovereigns had promised to compensate them and even though they knew that the World of Forsaken Saints had contributed greatly in fending off the crisis of the world, this was not enough to shake their determination to defend their land because this land was their home.
At the same time, Jianchen heard a small portion of people who were dissatisfied with the sovereigns' decision. Some of them even resented the sovereigns, but there were not a lot of people like that.
In a few kingdoms, Jian Chen also saw a few commanders give passionate speeches in front of armies. Without any exception, the contents of their speeches were all about defending their homeland and their determination to fight to the death against the cultivators from the World of Forsaken Saints.
Jianchen sighed inside when he sensed this. There were quite a lot of human cultivators who opposed the move. At a rough estimate, there were several billion of them. If they insisted on giving away their land, the several billion human cultivators would all choose to engage in an unprecedentedly intense war against the World of Forsaken Saints. The casualties would be unimaginable.
After all, the Origin realm sovereigns of the Tian Yuan Continent did not have absolute authority over the many human cultivators on the continent. Even if the people respected and worshipped them, there would still be people who did not fear death who would stand forward to protect their interests and protect their homeland even if they were sovereigns, even if they could reduce them to ashes with a wave of their hand. Even death would not be enough to change them.
Jianchen continued to expand his soul, directly enveloping all the continents of the four races. He discovered that the same thing that was happening on the Tian Yuan Continent was happening on the magical beasts and the Sea race as well. Quite a few organizations from the two races had banded together and refused to give in. Only the Hundred Races remained relatively calm. They did not voice any objections. All the Hundred Races, from the cultivators at the level of the Holy Emperor to the commoners, followed the war god's lead. Anything the war god said was like an imperial edict. No one objected.
This was because the Hundred Races had always been a race with a belief, and their belief was the war god of the Hundred Races, Tie Ta.
"Jianchen, there are only two more years until the negotiation date. Have you made your decision?"
Tie Ta's voice rang out in Jianchen's head as he enveloped the Hundred Races with the senses of his soul.
Jianchen did not hide anything. He told Tie Ta everything he had seen. The matter of giving up land was not that simple.
"Jianchen, you should know the true identity of the Elven Godtree, right? The Divine King Olidona once asked me to rope in the people from the World of Forsaken Saints. The people from the World of Forsaken Saints are actually Spiritsages. The Spiritsages are a large race in the higher world and possess quite the heritage," said Tie Ta's voice. Tie Ta's voice rang out. The two of them communicated through the senses of their souls from several dozen million kilometres away.
