Given such a precedent, even though the remaining various powers later left the Ancestral Land for the Sky Wasteland, they still held deep reservations about this matter, and very few news disseminated among the people.
Furthermore, to prevent making the same mistakes again, they agreed that this matter should not be brought up again, and that the plan of Divine Dynasty should not be implemented.
Although this solution may seem unpalatable, it has been handed down in order to prevent such a catastrophe from recurring.
However, they probably did not expect that the very thing they refrained doing in the Sky Wasteland – has already been started by someone in the Ancestral Land.
Moreover, this person has formidable strength and influence, and has almost completed all preparations. It only takes a few more steps to carry out this plan.
“Perhaps, when those ancient powers return, they will be dumbfounded in the face of a true Divine Dynasty.” Mr. Wu chuckled to himself.
However, the existence of such a Divine Dynasty may also provoke the fear of all ancient powers, making it the target of all arrows.
Nothing can be foreseen.
These are things that even Mr. Wu cannot predict. Until that day arrives, no one would dare to assert.
“I apologize for keeping you waiting.”
The voice of Pei Xuanjing broke Mr. Wu’s reverie.
He rose to his feet, and said with a smile: “You’re too modest.”
Both of them seated themselves. After Tao Rong served tea, he respectfully withdrew.
“Your speed is truly beyond my expectations.” Pei Xuanjing began with a smile.
Mr. Wu smiled back, saying: “It’s simply a reflection of my eagerness to work with you.”
“Haha, such compliments make me feel embarrassed,” Pei Xuanjing modestly replied, shaking his head.
Mr. Wu added, “There are countless individuals who aspire to cooperate with you in this world, and I have not exaggerated in the slightest.”
He was not complimenting, but stating the truth.
Considering Pei Xuanjing’s current status and strength, there were undoubtedly countless people who wanted to cooperate with him.
Leaving the far-fetched examples aside, wouldn’t Mu Binghua of Heart Moon Lake and the siblings Xue Hanyi of the Da Xue ancient country want to deepen their cooperation with Pei Xuanjing?
They just gave up due to the lack of items of sufficient value to offer!
Had it not been for Pei Xuanjing’s intention to implement the Divine Dynasty Plan, and his fortunate possession of some related information, he would not have had the opportunity to sit here to talk about cooperation with Pei Xuanjing.
Otherwise, if his request had been anything else, he, being utterly destitute, wouldn’t have been able to offer anything in exchange. Thus, the conversation about cooperation would have been futile.
After all, there was no any prior relationship between them, and one can’t possibly talk about trade without offering something concrete, as nobody would trust that.
Pei Xuanjing nodded and said, “I appreciate your sincerity.”
“Since that’s the case, today I would like you to bring out the things that you mentioned earlier. As long as they are valuable enough, I will agree to the initial terms.”
“If what you bring out is not enough to fulfill those two conditions, but yet proves useful, I will provide the corresponding compensation as a price. How does that sound?”
Pei Xuanjing stated his demands straightforwardly, then waited for a response.
Currently, he did not know the extent of the information the other party held, nor whether it would be useful to him. Therefore, he was unable to make a proper judgment whether it would be worthwhile to make the trade.
However, once you hear the information and find it lacking, you can’t just forget about it. Therefore, you must provide some compensation.
Although this might appear as if he is at a slight disadvantage, it seemed the only option available. If the other party does not agree, then there is nothing to be done.
Mr. Wu, after listening to this, smiled even more and agreed, saying, “If you insist, who am I to refuse?”
Ultimately, neither party could determine exactly how much information the other held, or whether there was any overlap. If there was too much repetition, the value would naturally diminish.
The method proposed by Pei Xuanjing had already done the best he could to protect his own interests. Although it put him at a slight disadvantage, his attitude was commendable, proving that he genuinely sought a fair trade.
The most important point was that the other party’s performance was largely consistent with the information he had obtained, allowing him to believe that once the trade was concluded, the other party would truly stick to the agreement.
Pei Xuanjing gestured and said: “Then I’m all ears.”
“Excellent!” Mr. Wu nodded slightly and began speaking, “The Divine Dynasty, it originally stemmed from an idea envisioned by the Ruler of the Ancient Human Race. They wanted to enthrone the spirits of those who died for the human race as Gods, allowing them to exist forever, master the rules of Heaven and Earth, and bless the human race…”
Unfortunately, this plan was never actually implemented. The specific reasons behind this are unknown, with only bits and pieces of information left behind, of which even Mr. Wu knows very little.
The dynasties and empires of the later generations all attempted to truly implement this plan in order to make their empires last forever.
It can be said that since ancient times and before the Tang Dynasty, every dynasty or empire that dominated the world had once tried to put this plan into action. However, whether they were successful, no one knows.
“Huh?” Pei Xuanjing raised his brows, asking in confusion, “According to the information I have, didn’t those formidable imperial dynasties all fail and collapse? Otherwise, if any dynasty or empire had succeeded, why would they willingly give up their empire and allow their royal dynasty to be destroyed and replaced by others?”
Hearing Pei Xuanjing’s confusion, Mr. Wu gave a mysterious smile and asked, “With countless powerful figures in the Cultivation World and the top powers all being guarded by the ultimate figures of the Nine Realms of Spirit, these forces can last for tens of thousands of years. And as for the existence that can dominate these forces and establish an imperial court, can they really be so easily destroyed?”
Pei Xuanjing nodded silently. The words did indeed make sense.
This world is different from the world in his previous life, where even the wisest rulers would inevitably decay and fall after their death, and subsequent generations would eventually succeed in overcoming their dynasties and empires.
Given the existence of so many top powers in this world, the founders of empires and dynasties that could dominate the world must have extraordinary strength and exceptionally long lives. Their control over their empires and dynasties far exceeded the ordinary. How could such empires and dynasties easily fall and be overthrown by others?
There must be some hidden secrets involved. After all, no one is willing to give up power and the empire they have established easily.
