Chapter 1287 Holy Alliance Family, Human Leader
Over the next while, Dugu Huai and Gu Xiu chatted for a while. However, this time, Dugu Huai asked more about Hao Yu, but he consciously avoided asking about Hao Yu's secrets.
More than anything, they were trying to deduce Gu Xiu's position within Haoyu based on his account. In short, they wanted to know whether Gu Xiu had any real say in Haoyu.
Gu Xiu naturally noticed this.
He didn't point it out, but continued the conversation along with what he was saying, and then inadvertently revealed his identity.
Of course, this was with Suixing constantly helping to adjust the wording.
After all, it would be difficult for Gu Xiu to say in front of others that he was the vice leader of the Righteous Alliance of the Northern Demon Realm, had a close relationship with the Supreme Being of the City of Loose Cultivators, had a good relationship with the Master of Taihang Academy, and was even considered half a disciple of the Sword Saint, the number one swordsman...
Gu Xiu was somewhat... not quite used to it.
However, the effect was quite good. At least after their conversation, Dugu Huai's gaze towards Gu Xiu became more and more formal and respectful.
He had always felt that Gu Xiu was no ordinary person.
But given his age, even with some status, Dugu Huai couldn't possibly have much say in Haoyu. However, after a long chat, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Good guy!
This person cannot be treated as a junior at all; they are of the same generation!
He even felt that the title of Gu Xiu as Special Envoy was truly fitting; the other party could not only serve as a special envoy of Wuwei City, but also as a special envoy of Haoyu.
"Since Vice City Lord Gu was able to reveal so much, it seems that his attitude also represents the attitude of many people in Haoyu. Since Vice City Lord Gu is willing to give me such reassurance, I should reciprocate and give you a sneak peek."
After drinking several pots of tea, Dugu Huai said again, "Our thoughts are the same as those of Deputy City Lord Gu."
us?
Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow, but fortunately, he didn't need to ask; Dugu Huai took the initiative to speak:
“Vice City Lord Gu has been in the Three Enclosures Sea for quite some time, so he should already know that there are ten paths in total: Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Legalism, Names, Yin and Yang, Zongheng, Miscellaneous Agriculture, and Military.”
"Although each sect of deities specializes in different areas, they all essentially aim to help as many people as possible survive in the Three Enclosures of Calamity. However, due to differences in their philosophies, beliefs, and methods, disputes sometimes arise between the different sects of deities."
"But like the sects in the vast universe, disputes exist, but when faced with matters of great importance, the Three Enclosures and Ten Families of the Divine Path will unite with each other."
"The 'we' I'm referring to are the five schools of thought: Confucianism, Legalism, Yin-Yang, Miscellaneous, and Agriculture. We formed an alliance many years ago. We never interfere in the internal struggles of the Twelve Cities of Ziwei, but only seek a way to break the deadlock."
Hearing this explanation, Gu Xiu was somewhat puzzled.
Of the ten Shinto sects, only five are truly sacred.
What about the other five?
"As I said, the ten sects of the Divine Path have different philosophies, so their actions will also differ," Dugu Huai explained to Gu Xiu.
“Our Ten Divine Paths actually established a rule from the very beginning: we only care about natural disasters and not man-made disasters. So although there are Ten Divine Temples in various places in the Three Enclosures and the Sea of Sin, our temples themselves will not participate in the human race’s struggles in the Three Enclosures, and we will not even interfere with ordinary demon attacks on cities.”
"The ten divine sects will only truly appear when the cycle of reincarnation occurs."
"The concept of reincarnation... Fellow Daoist Gu should be familiar with it, right?"
Gu Xiu replied, "I heard Duke Wuwei mention the saying about the birth of the Silent One and the cycle of reincarnation in the Three Realms."
"It's good that you've heard it; I don't need to explain further." Dugu Huai nodded and said again:
"The existence of the Ten Divine Paths is to escape the so-called cycle of reincarnation and help the human race win. That's why the ancestors of the Ten Divine Paths set that rule."
"Actually, it's not just about rules, but about forming a Holy Alliance, with the participants being the priests of various Shinto sects. However, times change, and over the years, the Holy Alliance has not always been as stable as Mount Tai. On the contrary, it has experienced countless disintegrations."
"Until 30,000 years ago, led by the Mo family's Human Emperor Sui Xuchu, the Holy Alliance gathered eight of the ten divine paths. After Sui Xuchu's death, only five of us remained."
"The Taoists and the School of Diplomacy are the most unique. Their philosophies differ, so they are unwilling to form an alliance with us. This was true 30,000 years ago, and it is true now, 30,000 years later. But one thing is certain: they all hope that the Three Enclosures of Calamity can break free from its destiny."
"The Legalists and the Military Strategists are similar; they rely on cities. Although they are not allied with us, the most important people in the Twelve Cities of Ziwei are the two powerful figures of the Divine Path."
"As for the last Mo family..."
"Since the death of the previous leader, Sui Xuchu, and the appointment of the new leader, Mo Yi'an, the Mo family has withdrawn from the Holy Alliance."
Gu Xiu had never heard of these things before, but he could understand them after a little thought.
The original founders of Shinto clearly understood that people are always prone to succumbing to various desires, not to mention that the Sea of Sin always has the power to influence people's emotions.
This means that it is not a good thing for the Shinto, which possesses top-tier combat power, to seize power.
That's why rules were set up so that the existence of the Divine Path would only be to enhance the overall strength of the human race within the Three Enclosures, enabling them to establish themselves and survive, while also absorbing the willpower of the human race to create more possibilities for the Divine Path.
Not allowing the gods to take power is to prevent humankind from falling into disaster due to personal greed.
The initial intention was good.
However, as time goes on—tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years—everything can change. Different ideologies, different directions, and naturally, different outcomes. This is why the Holy Alliance of ten families has evolved into the current Holy Alliance of five families.
Having clarified the situation, Gu Xiu asked directly, "Is the Grand Master Dugu telling me all this because he wants me to do something?"
"I do have a request." Dugu Huai was quite direct:
"Our Holy Alliance now comprises five families, and although we have gathered experts from all five families, we don't have much real power in any of the cities, so we can't have much influence. But now that the Three Enclosures are about to face a great calamity and the fusion of the universe is imminent, the Three Enclosures need to unite, at least for now, the Ziwei Enclosure needs to unite."
"Next, we plan to bring the other five back into the Holy Alliance, and at the same time, we can unite the Twelve Cities of Ziwei."
"But that means we need to find someone."
"A person who can be recognized by all ten families of the Holy Alliance, and also by all twelve cities of Ziwei. To put it bluntly, we need a leader who can unite the entire Ziwei Yuan."
After hearing Dugu Huai's words, Gu Xiu understood: "Senior wants Sui Xu Chu to step forward? To become the leader who can unite the entire San Yuan Nie Hai?"
"Yes, Sui Xuchu did manage to integrate the Twelve Cities of Ziwei and the Eight Families of the Holy Alliance back then. Although he ultimately failed, he at least managed to preserve the Twelve Cities of Ziwei intact to this day. Therefore, if anyone is most suitable to be this leader, Sui Xuchu is undoubtedly the one."
Gu Xiu fell silent.
Sui Xu Chu was a sham from the beginning. Although he had Wuwei City spread the news and put forward the name Sui Xu Chu, he actually had the intention of using it to his advantage and unite the twelve cities of Ziwei.
But in reality, a fake is a fake.
Although many cities did contact Wuwei City after the news spread, they all had the same request.
I met the beginning of the year.
Can……
Where can he find Sui Xuchu?
"Actually, Sui Xuchu was never resurrected, nor did he appear in Wuwei City, is that right?" Dugu Huai had obviously seen through Gu Xiu's thoughts and asked first.
Faced with his gaze, Gu Xiu hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Dugu Huai, however, seemed completely unsurprised and even smiled:
"Actually, this is not surprising. No one believed he could survive, because many people witnessed Sui Xuchu's death, and his body is still there."
"In fact, I came to see you not really to ask you to introduce me to Sui Xuchu."
Ok?
Gu Xiu was surprised, but what surprised him even more was what Dugu Huai said next:
"I'm contacting you to ask if you're interested."
"To become the leader of the human race in this Three Enclosures and Sinful Sea?"
