Ye Xiwen's gaze was like a knife as it swept across these Heavenly Masters, as if he could see through them. The famous Heavenly Masters in the Eastern Region all lowered their heads.
In the end, they were the ones who were in the wrong on this issue. When the foreign allied forces attacked, they all went into hiding. But when the foreign allied forces left, they all jumped out and fought for territory.
This matter was definitely in the wrong. The trillions of creatures in the entire Eastern Region had witnessed all of this. Naturally, there would be justice for who was in the right and who was in the wrong.
It was just that they collectively ignored it. If it was an ordinary person, they could naturally continue to ignore it. But Ye Xiwen was the Eastern Region's supreme master. His words carried more weight than millions of creatures.
"Eastern Heavenly Master, it's not impossible for the Eastern Heavenly Master Mansion to take back some of the provinces. But taking half of it all at once is a bit too much!" At this time, a veteran Heavenly Master said. Although Ye Xiwen currently had the upper hand and no one wanted to face him head-on, at this time, since Ye Xiwen had already said this, they had to bite the bullet and stand up.
If Ye Xiwen wanted a little less, then it would be fine. But he directly asked for half of it. If Ye Xiwen successfully took it, then it would be a huge loss for each of them.
"Too much?" Ye Xiwen stood up directly and walked into the middle of these Heavenly Masters. He stood with his hands behind his back and just looked at the veteran Heavenly Masters.
In front of these veteran Heavenly Masters, Ye Xiwen was just a junior. But now, he was above them.
He naturally knew that many of these people were secretly dissatisfied. It was only because of his identity and Ye Xiwen had saved many of them that they did not jump out.
But at this time, it was impossible to get off the tiger. Among these people, probably only Heavenly Master Xuanyuan, who did not have too many interests involved, could be at ease and not care so much.
And among the other Heavenly Masters, even the Heavenly Master Sect began to become nervous. It seemed that Heavenly Dao did not directly come forward to compete, but there were also people who supported them to compete. Once they succeeded, they would naturally have a lot of benefits.
There was no such thing as a completely unrelated party!
"Under the heavens, all the lands belong to the King, and all the lands belong to the King. All the places you occupy belong to the Fortune God Dynasty. Are you trying to say too much at this time?" Ye Xiwen sneered.
"Eastern Heavenly Venerable, you can't say that. Although it is said that all lands under the heavens belong to the Emperor, the Fortune God Dynasty can't oppress our living space too much!" The veteran Heavenly Venerable couldn't help retorting.
"Suppress your living space?" Ye Xiwen couldn't help but sneer as he asked. "Your living space is not something that I can suppress, but don't you think that the living space you are asking for is a little too much?"
"Are we asking for too much living space?" the veteran Heavenly Master said angrily. "As dignified Heavenly Venerables, is it too much to only occupy a few prefectures?"
"You should know that the Human Race directly under you, Eastern Celestial Master, occupies 11 prefectures, yet you're saying that our request is too much? I'd also like to ask who is asking for more! "
The veteran Heavenly Venerable's words immediately resonated with many people. Ye Xiwen's direct subordinates' territories exceeded 11 prefectures. The amount of resources he could obtain was simply unimaginable. In addition to the resources of the Eastern Celestial Palace's direct subordinates' territories, as well as the taxes paid by the other Eastern Region prefectures, the wealth within was simply unimaginably astronomical.
Ye Xiwen, who possessed so much wealth, still felt that it was not enough. Moreover, he wanted to take away half of their harvest. How could they accept this?
"My direct subordinates' territories were fought for by myself and the Human Race. The big prefecture that you are fighting for now was recaptured by the entire Eastern Region's forces. It should naturally belong to the Fortune God Dynasty. If you had fought for the territory from the Stormy Sea Region, it would naturally belong to you. But now that it is the Fortune God Dynasty's territory, do you still want to monopolize it? I'm already being polite by asking for half! " Ye Xiwen sneered and said, "Do you think that there is such a good thing in the world where one can only reap without paying any price?"
All the Heavenly Venerables choked. They wanted to change the concept and talk about the big prefectures that they occupied, but Ye Xiwen was not fooled at all. He directly made a judgment based on who fought for these big prefectures.
The original basis of these Heavenly Venerables was simply untenable. Rather than saying that Ye Xiwen was snatching food from the tiger's mouth, it was better to say that they were snatching food from the tiger's mouth from the Eastern Celestial Palace.
They carefully tested the Eastern Celestial Palace's reaction. If the Eastern Celestial Palace's reaction was even a little weak, they would probably attack on the spot and ask for more benefits.
However, it was obvious that Ye Xiwen's attitude was more unyielding than they had expected. If it weren't for the fact that it would be too unsightly to swallow all the big prefectures and trigger a counterattack from all the Heavenly Venerables, the Eastern Celestial Palace might even have a plan to swallow all the big prefectures and turn them into directly governed prefectures.
If this plan was really implemented, then the Eastern Celestial Palace, which occupied more than three-quarters of the Eastern Region's big prefectures, would also expand to an unimaginable level. The other major forces would not have the possibility of wrestling with the Eastern Celestial Palace at all. In fact, if the Eastern Celestial Palace coughed, the entire Eastern Region would catch a cold. It was simply incomparable to the current almost equal relationship.
Even if the Eastern Celestial Palace took back half of the Eastern Region, the Eastern Celestial Palace would still have an overwhelming advantage over the other forces. Even if the other forces joined forces, they might not be a match for the Eastern Celestial Palace.
At this time, they discovered that they did not show up this time. They allowed the Eastern Region to be conquered by the Stormy Sea Region, and countless wealth was plundered. They also bore the resentment of countless creatures in the Eastern Region. However, the Eastern Celestial Palace was the one who truly reaped the benefits.
The Eastern Celestial Palace, Ye Xiwen, had defeated the Stormy Sea Region's allied forces by himself and gained supreme prestige. Then, the Eastern Celestial Palace opened their mouth like a lion and annexed half of the big prefectures.
In other words, the Eastern Celestial Palace had taken all the good things in the end, and they had to bear all the blame. This feeling was very sullen no matter how one looked at it.
However, they also knew that no one could shake off the Eastern Celestial Palace on this issue. If it was the original Eastern Celestial Palace or the current Celestial Master, they would not dare to have such thoughts.
A person's authority needed to be established over a long period of time. Although Ye Xiwen had gained a lot of favors and gratitude in the past, favors and gratitude and authority were two different things.
However, they could not say anything to refute. It must be known that Ye Xiwen was right. He stood on the moral high ground. Usually, this moral high ground was useless. However, Ye Xiwen had the backing of a super big tree like the Fortune God Dynasty. Therefore, it was extremely useful.
At this time, a sigh was heard. Who else could it be but the Heavenly Dao Sect Master?
"Eastern Celestial Palace, since this matter has come to this point, and as you said, it's fine if the Eastern Celestial Palace wants a share of the pie. However, how do you intend to divide the remaining half?" Said the Heavenly Dao Sect Master. Among the civilian forces, he was the leader. Not to mention the Eastern Domain, even in the entire Fortune God Dynasty, the Heavenly Dao Sect Master was a leading figure. His strength was among the best among the civilian peak Heavenly Venerables.
This time, all the veteran Heavenly Venerables wanted to resist the Eastern Celestial Palace. Naturally, he was also the leader. Now that he had admitted defeat, it meant that the other veteran Heavenly Venerables would also admit defeat.
At this time, there was no benefit in continuing to resist the Eastern Celestial Palace on this issue.
If the Eastern Celestial Palace took half of the big prefectures, it would inevitably be difficult for them to resist the Eastern Celestial Palace in the future. However, if they did not agree now, they would not even be able to keep their territory.
Regarding this issue, their own development was more important. Even if the Eastern Celestial Palace gained an advantage, it would only be more difficult for them to survive.
However, if they could not gain a foothold now, there was no future to speak of. Previously, they had watched the Stormy Sea Region invade without doing anything, bearing the resentment of billions of lives. What was it for? Wasn't it for a foothold?
"Half of these territories belong to the direct jurisdiction of the Eastern Celestial Palace. The other half will be divided according to everyone's qualifications, achievements, and contribution in this battle. As I said, how much effort you put in will determine how much territory you get!" said Ye Xiwen. This was the distribution plan that he had thought of long ago. Naturally, he had other ideas.
As soon as Ye Xiwen said this, some people were happy, while others were worried. Those who were worried were naturally the Celestial Masters who had preserved their strength and wanted to snatch territory later. Those who were happy were naturally the Celestial Masters who had contributed. Ye Xiwen's distribution plan could not be found to be wrong. In particular, this distribution plan had the support of many Celestial Masters. At least half of the Celestial Masters supported Ye Xiwen's plan.
This allowed Ye Xiwen's plan to be approved. The other Celestial Masters also knew that there was no way to say anything on this issue. Who asked them to not contribute in the beginning? At this time, there was no other way to distribute less.
However, when Ye Xiwen's specific distribution next, a heated discussion was set off. The root cause was that Ye Xiwen had given five of these big prefectures to the Human Clan.
Suddenly, this aroused fierce opposition from many Celestial Masters. For them, this was Ye Xiwen benefiting himself at the expense of the public. It was simply selfish. How could they tolerate this?
"Eastern Celestial Master, aren't you going too far by doing this? How can the Human Clan be able to divide the land of five big prefectures!?"
Asked a powerful Celestial Master fiercely.
