Chapter 515 A Discussion with Xuan Kongzi
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Realm experts from the six great celestial dynasties have retreated..."
As soon as Guan Yu's men left, Guo Jia arrived at where Ying Chen and the others were and spoke.
Upon hearing his words, Ying Chen looked up and, sure enough, the six powerful cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm from the six great dynasties who were confronting Huo Qubing and the others had all vanished without a trace.
It seems they also received a message from Fengming City.
"Ignore them for now. Send the order: Zhao Yun, Li Siye, and Chang Yuchun will each lead their respective legions to Fengling City immediately to reinforce Guan Yu and Zhang Fei..."
After glancing at it, Ying Chen stopped paying attention and spoke.
"Here!"
As soon as Ying Chen finished speaking, Guo Jia immediately responded respectfully.
He then immediately went to convey Ying Chen's decree.
After Guo Jia left, Huo Qubing, Miao Yun, Xuan Kongzi, and Xiao Jin also arrived.
"His Majesty!"
After the group arrived, the Duke immediately bowed to Ying Chen.
"No need to be polite, get up!"
Ying Chen smiled and waved his hand, saying...
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then, everyone stood up straight.
At this moment, Xuan Kongzi's face was full of smiles, which he couldn't stop.
He couldn't believe that their human race had produced another celestial dynasty.
God truly blesses humanity!
"General Huo and Senior Miaoyun, you two should also head to Fengling City! This time, the Six Great Celestial Dynasties will not let this go so easily..."
"Our Great Qin Dynasty must fight another tough battle. Only by surviving this one can we truly solidify our position as the Celestial Empire..."
Ying Chen looked at Huo Qubing and Miao Yun and spoke.
"Here!"
"it is good!"
Huo Qubing and Miaoyun replied one after the other.
After that, the two left directly.
They knew that Ying Chen must have something to discuss with Xuan Kongzi because he hadn't sent Xuan Kongzi along.
After the two left, Ying Chen looked at Xuan Kongzi with a smile on his face and said, "Senior Xuan Kongzi, shall we go to the Imperial Palace for a chat?"
Xuan Kongzi stared blankly at Ying Chen, and actually sensed some of that person's charm in Ying Chen.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was hallucinating or not.
"Senior Xuan Kongzi!"
Seeing that Xuan Kongzi didn't answer and was staring blankly at him, Ying Chen couldn't help but call out again.
"Ah? Oh!"
Xuan Kongzi then came to his senses and quickly said, "Your Majesty, you are now the Heavenly Emperor, you can no longer call me 'senior'..."
"If you don't mind, you can call me by my name. I used to have a name, Hyun Bin, which was given to me by him..."
"Well... alright! From now on, I'll call you Hyun Bin..."
Ying Chen hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Xuan Kongzi finally smiled.
Hyun Bin is the only person who has ever been called that, and now there's another one.
Afterwards, the two returned to Xianyang City and went back to the imperial palace.
Inside a palace in the imperial palace, the two sat facing each other.
"Elder Xuan, you must have already guessed why I summoned you here, right?"
After settling down, Ying Chen looked at Xuan Kongzi and asked.
"I already have a guess in my mind, but I don't know if it's right..."
Xuan Kongzi nodded indifferently, his face revealing no emotion, and then spoke.
"But it doesn't matter!"
Ying Chen spoke up.
"Your Majesty summoned me here, surely it is about the unification of the human race?"
Xuan Kongzi spoke after hearing Ying Chen's words.
"Not bad!"
"I just don't know what your opinion is?"
Ying Chen smiled, nodded, and spoke.
"Of course, I very much hope to see the unification of the human race..."
"Humanity needs a common leader to unite this disorganized group..."
"Past experiences of the human race have taught us that a united human race will only become prey for other races..."
Xuan Kongzi looked at Ying Chen and spoke.
"However, this will probably be very difficult..."
At this point, Xuan Kongzi gave a wry smile.
"Is it possible that some people among the human race do not want unification?"
Ying Chen glanced at Xuan Kongzi indifferently, picked up the teacup on the table, and spoke.
"Your Majesty has keen insight; you saw the problem at a glance..."
Xuan Kongzi gave Ying Chen an approving look, then continued, "After the cataclysm tens of thousands of years ago, I attempted to unify the human race many times, but all attempts ended in failure..."
"The interference of the Elven race was naturally involved, but there are also significant internal problems within the human race..."
"The unification of the human race will inevitably affect the interests of a large number of people, including those who were originally powerful figures, high-ranking members of their respective factions, and even revered ancestors..."
"Humanity is not unified. Although they don't have great power, they still reign supreme in their own small territories, existing above all others..."
"But once humanity is unified, these forces will be completely reshuffled, and their good days will be gone forever..."
"How can they possibly tolerate this?"
As he spoke, the bitterness on Xuan Kongzi's face grew stronger, and he exuded a sense of powerlessness.
Although he was the actual controller of the ancestral court of the human race, he was also once the strongest human.
However, the prestige of the ancestral court of the human race is declining day by day, and many forces are no longer obedient to orders.
Although he possesses formidable strength, he cannot eliminate all those destabilizing factors.
Because those who oppose it are all people among the human race with high cultivation levels.
They are the beneficiaries of the existing system.
They would rather let the human race be weak and live their own good lives.
They were unwilling to let the entire human race become powerful while they themselves had to live a life of hardship.
If Xuan Kongzi kills them all, the already weakened human race will become even weaker.
Humanity can no longer withstand major upheavals.
"Yes! I've already looked into all of these things you've mentioned..."
"Now, I intend to unify the entire human race, whether it be the humans within the Central Region or those from other great regions outside the Central Region; I intend to bring them all under the Great Qin..."
"I will ask you only one question: if my Great Qin encounters resistance during the process of unification, will you decide to help my Great Qin, or to help those who stubbornly resist...?"
Ying Chen stared intently at Xuan Kongzi, his voice booming like a bell in Xuan Kongzi's mind.
A conflicted look flashed across Xuan Kongzi's face. He knew perfectly well who among the human race supported unification and who did not.
Although he also hated those who did not support unification, they had ultimately made many contributions to the human race.
Although, they made those contributions out of necessity.
However, judging by actions rather than intentions, he was somewhat troubled when it came to actually deciding to deal with those people.
Xuan Kongzi looked around, then at the spiritual rain still falling outside the hall, and his resolve gradually hardened.
He raised his head, looking at Ying Chen with unwavering eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, if those people dare to oppose unification, you won't need to lift a finger; I will deal with them myself..."
"No one can stop the rise of humanity..."
A cold killing intent flashed in Xuan Kongzi's eyes as he spoke coldly.
Upon hearing Xuan Kongzi's words, Ying Chen smiled and reassured him, "Don't be nervous. Although the Great Qin will eventually unify the human race, now is not the time. Everything will have to wait until we deal with the threat from the six great celestial dynasties..."
"Therefore, you still have some time to persuade those who oppose you, and try to minimize the losses of the human race..."
As soon as Ying Chen finished speaking, Xuan Kongzi suddenly raised his head, a strange look in his eyes.
Since Ying Chen said that, it means he is willing to give those people a chance, provided that they are sensible and turn back soon.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Rest assured, I will return to the Central Region immediately and personally visit these forces..."
Xuan Kongzi stood up and said excitedly.
