As the talks between the two sides came to an end, Tuobatao said:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I am going to invite all fellow practitioners in the Tribulation Period to hold a small meeting at Yujing Palace the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you are interested in attending."
Liu Changxu was ready to say goodbye to Tuobatao. After all, the threat of the black demons had been lifted. There was no point in him staying here.
After hearing Tuobatao's invitation, Liu Changxu suddenly became interested, and then, with a hint of doubt on his face, he asked:
"Oh! But I wonder what major matters are being discussed at this meeting?"
Tuobatao raised his chin slightly, with a solemn and expectant look on his face, and said slowly:
"The core topic of this meeting is to discuss how we should deal with the threats of the sea tribe and alien races from outside the world.
The invasion of the black demon clan has brought unprecedented disaster to our human race, causing billions of human race compatriots to suffer and lose their lives. The tragic situation is heartbreaking. Fortunately, fellow Taoists took action in time, otherwise, the human race will probably suffer even more.
A brutal massacre. Therefore, it is a top priority to discuss with all comrades how to deal with the sea tribe and the alien tribes outside the world.
In addition, I also plan to arrange for fellow Taoists to exchange their cultivation experiences. The reason why the black demon clan was able to cause such a disaster to the human race this time is traced back to the lack of strength on our side. If we can have the extraordinary abilities of fellow Taoist Liu
, even if we cannot completely defeat the Black Demons, we can still greatly reduce the losses of the human race. It can be seen from this that improving our own strength is the foundation for protecting our human race. Mutual exchanges and exchanges between monks of the same level will greatly affect our strength.
Upgrading goes a long way.
Finally, the treasure exchange session will begin, and colleagues can take out the treasures that they do not need and exchange them with each other to get what they need.
"Brother Tuoba, please relax, I will definitely attend the meeting on time!"
Liu Changxu immediately responded loudly:
When Tuobatao saw Liu Changxu nodding in agreement, he took Da Wei Xianchao and everyone to say goodbye and left.
On the morning of the third day, the sun shone on the majestic main hall of Yujing Palace, which was carefully built with high-grade spiritual jade, reflecting the splendid light.
In the hall, eight giant golden chairs exuding a majestic aura were arranged in a circle. Eight strong men in the Tribulation Stage with auras as terrifying as the abyss were having serious discussions on how to deal with the problems of the Sea Clan and the alien races outside the world.
Since this matter related to the vital interests of all major powers, the discussion was very intense as soon as the meeting began, filling the entire space with a tense and solemn atmosphere.
Participating in this meeting were Liu Changxu, Tuo Batao, Murong Qingyun, Zhang Liansong, and Duan Yuwei, as well as Zhao Wuji, the Supreme Elder from the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty in the early stage of the Tribulation, Song Kun, a strong man in the mid-stage Tribulation of the Wanxiang Sect, and Wan
The Supreme Elder Yuan Kong of the Buddhist temple.
It can be said that these eight strong men in the Tribulation Stage basically represent the will of the entire human race in Mazu Continent, and the decisions they make are directly related to the rise, fall, honor and disgrace of the human race.
Precisely because their decisions were so important, every word spoken by the eight people was carefully considered.
Since it was Liu Changxu's first time to participate in such a meeting, and because he did not know enough about the internal situation of the Poseidon human race, he just listened quietly to the discussion and basically did not speak.
The core focus of the discussion among the cultivators was how to effectively deal with the threats from the sea tribe and the alien races outside the world.
According to what everyone said, the major forces of the human race in Mazu Continent have made countless attempts to deal with this problem before, and the methods and measures adopted are also different.
Since the human race settled and multiplied in the Poseidon Mazu Continent, they have established a unified human race to cultivate immortality three times, and also established a human race alliance composed of the top human race immortal cultivation forces many times. However, due to the complex conflicts within the human race,
More often, when encountering foreign threats, they briefly form mutual aid alliances.
The response methods discussed in today's meeting are also discussed based on the past experiences and lessons of the human race.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and heated. The core issue everyone was discussing was: whether to build a well-organized and complete human alliance, or to continue the past strategy and only form a relatively loose mutual aid alliance when the alien threat is approaching.
Tuoba Tao, the supreme elder of the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty, Zhao Wuji, the supreme elder of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, and Song Kun, a strong man in the middle stage of the Tribulation of the Wanxiang Sect, advocated the establishment of a tight human alliance.
They believe that only through a tight organizational structure, a clear division of responsibilities and the deep integration of human resources can a strong and lasting force be gathered in the long confrontation with the sea tribe and the alien races outside the world, so that they will not be defeated when encountering the alien races.
During the sudden attack, each of them fought and were defeated one by one.
However, Murong Qingyun, the Supreme Elder of the Dayan Immortal Dynasty, Zhang Liansong, the Supreme Elder of the Zhenhai Sect, and Duan Yuwei, the Supreme Elder of the Xuantian Sect, hold different opinions.
They feel that the sectarian differences, geographical differences, and entangled interests among the major forces of the human race have been around for a long time. It is difficult to establish a highly tight alliance in peacetime and can easily lead to internal conflicts and disputes. Instead of this,
It is better to temporarily form a loose mutual aid alliance based on a common survival crisis when the alien threat is real, and each retains a relatively independent decision-making and action space to flexibly respond to the ever-changing battlefield situation.
In order to get the other party to accept their own point of view, the supporting and opposing parties came and went, arguments came and went, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed to be solidifying.
However, Liu Changxu and Yuankong of Wanfo Temple never expressed their stance in this fierce verbal battle. Their silence made the situation in the entire venue more and more delicate.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you think?"
Seeing that Liu Changxu remained silent, Murong Qingyun finally couldn't restrain his inner eagerness and asked first:
As soon as this question came out, it was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples in an instant. The eyes of everyone present were focused on Liu Changxu, and they all looked forward to hearing his opinions.
Liu Changxu raised his eyes and met everyone's gaze, knowing in his heart that it was time for him to express his position. In fact, he was not satisfied with the views of both parties.
Take the approach of advocating the establishment of a human alliance with relatively centralized power. From their fierce debates, we can see that there are many obstacles to the implementation of this plan. After all, without serious external threats to check and balance, it is very easy for the so-called alliance to have internal conflicts.
The uneven distribution of interests and the emergence of conflicts may even lead to extremely serious internal strife, leading to the collapse of the alliance.
The other side proposes to form a temporary loose alliance for mutual assistance when foreign tribes invade. It seems to be flexible, but in fact it has full disadvantages. The recent heavy losses suffered by the Great Wei Dynasty is a vivid example. Loose alliances often lack unified planning and efficient cooperation.
In the face of powerful foreign enemies, it is easy to fall into chaos and passivity, and it is difficult to form a strong resistance.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Changxu slowly spoke:
"After listening to the opinions and reasons given by my colleagues, each of you has its own truth. I think we might as well take an eclectic approach, integrate the strengths of both parties, and explore a brand new response strategy."
"Oh? Brother Liu, please tell me in detail."
Murong Qingyun saw that Liu Changxu seemed to be on friendly terms with him, so he chased after him and asked:
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you think is the appropriate course of action?"
Everyone also agreed, eager to know Liu Changxu's specific plan.
