Five million spirit stones is not even a matter of painful or not painful, it's simply a matter of life and death for this group of people! Even a million spirit stones is almost unbearable for them. And now five million... this is clearly a rhythm of not continuing!
Then, hundreds of millions of beings' qualifications for deity. Hundreds of millions... when you add up all the descendants of the Three Great Families in the God Realm, they don't even reach this number!
The God Realm is a constructed world, not a large world formed by the Heavenly Dao. Although it is immensely vast, the actual number of beings it can accommodate is limited. Otherwise, the rate at which ancient deities in the God Realm reproduce offspring wouldn't be so slow.
Because it's about controlling the number of beings in the entire world!
And Senior Elder Lan, with a casual remark, almost equals giving away countless years of future population for the Three Great Families!
This is simply more devastating than five million spirit stones...!
Every year's consumption of these billions of beings is undoubtedly an incredibly shocking number. Therefore, compared to this, the five million spirit stones really aren't much.
This isn't a grand gesture, it's a grand madness!
And then, the Palace of Ten Thousand Gods... oh my God, the Palace of Ten Thousand Gods is going to be given away as well? This is truly completely, utterly insane!
What is the Palace of Ten Thousand Gods? It's the most supreme treasure in the entire God Realm for the Three Great Families, and even the whole God Realm!
Why during this collapse of the God Realm did the Three Great Families not suffer too much damage? Compared to the rune beings and the Beast Clan, their losses are almost negligible. It's because of having this supreme treasure, the Palace of Ten Thousand Gods!
It's the symbol of the Human Clan in the God Realm, and also the symbol of the Three Great Families!
This treasure, not only is its intrinsic value immeasurable, even its symbolic significance is equally immeasurable!
Thus, after Senior Elder Lan proposed his suggestion, almost everyone was on the verge of collapse.
The entire scene was filled with a strange coldness.
Even Lan Xiao and Chen Fan, who had nominally pledged loyalty to Chu Mo, felt that the Elder's proposal was simply too unreliable. This was clearly a rhythm of handing over the Three Great Families completely.
Everyone remained silent, not uttering a word.
At this moment, Senior Elder Lan looked at everyone, his eyes flickering with a wise light, and faintly said, "Do you all think I've gone mad? Because only a madman would do something like this. But forget it, this isn't something you can decide anyway. Let's wait until the heads of the Three Families come to make the decision."
"Senior Elder Lan, I think there's no need to wait for the Three Family heads." The elder of the Chen Clan finally couldn't help but speak, looking at Senior Elder Lan, he said gravely, "This proposal simply cannot be passed. It's too crazy. We, the Three Great Families, aren't truly in such a desperate situation, there's really no need for us to do this."
The elder of the Du Clan also spoke at this time, saying, "Doing this is equivalent to handing over the interests of the Three Great Families. Even if the Three Great Families control the entire God Realm in the future, this not only sacrifices most of our interests, it also allows the Human Clan to rise instantly. Then it becomes a hidden danger that can't be dealt with. Who then can control him?"
Other elders, including those within the Lan Clan, all nodded repeatedly.
They simply couldn't understand the Elder's proposal, all feeling it was too crazy, simply a loss of sanity!
Therefore, although the other elders didn't express any opinions, their stance was already very clear—they would absolutely not support Senior Elder Lan.
Senior Elder Lan sighed softly, looking at these people, slightly shaking his head, originally wanting to say some things, but now, he too didn't want to say them. Because they wouldn't understand nor grasp it. In their understanding, it was actually similar to that of Lan Xiao, Chen Fan, and even Du Wei, these youths.
The mere lower world...
Yes, this is their common perception of that Five Great Heavens world.
When mentioning this world, it seems if they don't curl their lips, they can't express their contempt for this world.
Actually, in the past, Elder Lan himself had almost the same mentality.
Whenever the lower world was mentioned, the first thing was to curl lips to show disdain. Whenever the Human Clan was mentioned, they immediately dissociated themselves—We're gods, how can we associate with the Human Clan?
But this collapse of the God Realm truly woke him up.
The Human Clan seems weak, even weak to the point of being easily crushed. There's no particularly strong force. Compared to these divine beings of the Divine Clan, they are like a group of ants.
But the Human Clan has an ancient saying: a thousand-mile dyke collapses due to an ant hole.
In the past, Elder Lan hadn't paid much attention to this saying, because in his view, it displayed a lack of strength. A lack of strength leads to finding reasons. If there were extremely strong controlling powers, then just destroy an ant hole appearing on a thousand-mile dyke.
But now, he finally understood, the power of the Human Clan can indeed be very strong.
And it truly is very strong!
They are not as fragile as imagined, and fundamentally, a group of Divine Clan deities without the protection of the Divine Realm, without eternity and immortality, may not necessarily be a match for that group from the Human Clan!
How did the Six Paths of Reincarnation start? It was driven by that group from the Human Clan!
Yes, this matter can forcibly be pinned on Chu Mo alone. Moreover, Chu Mo is a god within the red dust and cannot be considered a human.
But if it weren't for those immeasurable numbers of the Human Clan continually entering those once-dead and fragmented great worlds to pioneer and build, would those great worlds have so quickly returned to life? Clearly, they would not have!
Furthermore, in Chu Mo's own view, he certainly considers himself a true member of the Human Clan and would never think of himself as part of the Divine Clan.
This can be discerned from the words brought back by Lan Xiao and Chen Fan.
The Divine Realm no longer exists, and these deities are now quite awkward, and their situation is not as optimistic as imagined.
Indeed, the Palace of Ten Thousand Gods can shelter them, but can they really hide in the Palace of Ten Thousand Gods forever?
Not to mention the collapse and disintegration of the Divine Realm, which was extremely rapid at first and is now gradually slowing down. It seems as though it will soon stop, but in reality, the ultimate complete collapse of the Divine Realm is an unstoppable trend.
Once the Divine Realm reaches the day of complete collapse, all the deities of the Divine Realm must enter the Five Great Heavens.
By that time, their conflict with the Human Clan will also escalate.
As for the idea of uniting all the living beings of the Divine Realm to sweep through the Five Great Heavens.
This seemingly simple matter, in Senior Elder Lan's view, is fundamentally unrealistic.
Not to mention that these deities of the Divine Clan cannot truly unite. Even if they could unite, if all living beings make some concessions and compromises, and unite, is the Human Clan really that easy to wipe out?
It's not that it's just unlikely, it's absolutely impossible!
Senior Elder Lan, sitting in the seat of the ruler for countless ages, wasn't sitting there in vain. He knows many things that other deities are completely unaware of. He also knows many secrets about the Divine Realm.
Therefore, he suggested that they should cooperate with Chu Mo.
If both sides wish to cooperate and reach consensus, then the Three Great Families must let go of their inherent prejudices, set aside their aloof attitudes towards all beings, and offer significant benefits!
These benefits must be genuine and substantial. Otherwise, they could choose to cooperate with the Beast Clan, with the rune life, or simply not cooperate with anyone!
Why particularly cooperate with the Three Great Families? Self-importance mustn't be inflated!
Senior Elder Lan's heart churned, feeling that these people were extremely ignorant to the extreme. But he didn't want to say anything more. Just wanting to wait for the heads of the Three Great Families to return, to see their opinions. If the leaders of the three powers also disagree,
then let it be. At least... I have tried my best.
Senior Elder Lan sighed a breath, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
Lan Xiao and Chen Fan over there did not dare to speak, and here, they had no place to interrupt.
Actually, what Lan Xiao thought was that even if all these benefits were given to Chu Mo, whether Chu Mo would really cooperate with them was still an unknown.
But she didn't dare to speak such words; she feared that saying them would not only drive the ancestors mad but also those already quite dissatisfied big figures would be angrier. They would think Chu Mo was utterly shameless, denying conditions they would never agree to anyway?
But Lan Xiao just thought this way; it's almost an intuitive thing. Actually, gods don't believe in intuition, but Lan Xiao does. Although her interaction with Chu Mo was very brief, she had an almost psychic intuition that, no matter what, Chu Mo would not give up on the living beings of the Five Great Heavens.
Even if in the end only billions of beings were left in the Five Great Heavens, Chu Mo would still not submit to or seek refuge with the Divine Realm!
He is a true hero amongst people!
And heroes... they don't surrender or betray.
Those who surrender or betray are at most considered wise men. Yes, recognizing the times makes one wise.
Actually, Chen Fan had a similar thought; Chu Mo, the atmosphere surrounding him was simply too strong, and his charisma was top-notch. Such atmosphere and charisma had reached an unmatchable level.
Therefore, despite the brief interaction with him, one could be influenced by his ideas and philosophies and come to agree with them.
In the past, he didn't think much of the Human Clan as high-level entities, looking down upon them deep in his heart. This was prejudice. After truly encountering a hero like Chu Mo from the Human Clan, Chen Fan's perception of the Human Clan had changed.
Therefore, Chen Fan also believed that he would still refuse!
