Chapter 500 - 424: Crisis Approaches, Unshaken
Lu Yuan spoke.
He acknowledged the other party’s speculation.
Because, indeed, there was nothing to hide.
As long as one paid attention, many people could discover it.
It was better to say it directly.
As soon as he said that.
Jiang Ningxian was first surprised, then turned her head, looking at her brother with a smile.
She seemed to know what he was feeling now, looking as if she was watching a show.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Jiang Haokong’s eyes widened.
Then he pointed a trembling finger at Lu Yuan.
Indeed, he found it hard to believe.
Because it was too fast.
So fast that there wasn’t even time to react. You must know, Jiang Haokong himself was already among the strongest prodigies in the starry sky, and it was difficult to progress further after reaching the Immortal Realm, even with immense talent.
In reality, after the Immortal Realm, each step forward was said to be extremely difficult.
Originally, having made enough progress, feeling like he would soon reach the Grotto Heaven Immortal.
Jiang Haokong felt that his efforts over this period had not been in vain.
After comparing himself with his predecessors.
His speed.
Was indeed quite fast too, which was his source of confidence.
Therefore, when seeing Lu Yuan again, Jiang Haokong was somewhat proud.
You are strong.
But I’m not bad either.
Now, though, the other party had reached the threshold of the Creation Immortal.
How long had it been since the other party entered the Grotto Heaven Immortal?
And they made sufficient progress once again?
Especially after confirming this.
Jiang Haokong was at a loss for words, finally just staring at Lu Yuan.
Indeed, he was once again struck.
"Alright, don’t forget the important matters."
Jiang Ningxian, seeing this, shook her head. She naturally understood her brother’s thoughts better than anyone, but it wasn’t very important. After all, this wasn’t the first time it had happened.
Although she felt incredibly shocked at how quickly Lu Yuan could progress.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed normal. Ever since knowing him.
She had always been in constant amazement.
What others couldn’t achieve.
Lu Yuan, however, could.
So, thinking about it now, it didn’t seem like a big deal.
Beside them, Jiang Haokong, hearing his sister’s words, recovered his senses.
Paused for a moment, then spoke directly: "We found that the Eternal Race and the Ji Family have almost approached, and they will descend soon. Meanwhile, they are constantly contacting the various starry races."
"It seems they want to form an alliance; many Star Realms have already responded, which might be unfavorable for us."
Previously, although the two major forces did similar things, it wasn’t very obvious.
They merely united a few Star Realms, but now it’s different.
They have almost begun to use their influence.
Even some big figures from the two clans chose to mobilize, a truly significant alliance.
Upon receiving this news, the Jiang Family was very concerned, because after many struggles.
The Heavenly Court and the Jiang Family had essentially taken an opposing stance to those two major forces, if not entirely hostile, then close to it. Now, why did the other side choose to unite various parties?
The most obvious reason, it’s likely for dealing with the Heavenly Court and the Jiang Family.
Aside from anything else, just the grievances between the two Divine Sons.
Must be avenged.
This move.
Made the Jiang Family very concerned because what descended this time were the foundations of the two major forces.
So, the siblings came to discuss with Lu Yuan on what to do next.
After all, if a crisis truly arises, the two sides need to face it together.
The Jiang Family’s strength is not enough to directly deal with the two major forces.
Moreover, the other side is continuously uniting various clans.
"The suggestion from our clan is to proactively unite with some others, then expand our power; this way, even if danger arises, there won’t be much worry."
Jiang Ningxian spoke, revealing the Jiang clan’s plan, which was indeed very wise.
If a conflict arises, it poses no real threat.
They have allies; our side also has allies.
However.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan thought for a moment and then said: "I don’t think it’s necessary."
"Anyone who is recruited might stab us in the back when the situation turns unfavorable, such alliances are not solid. What is truly needed are people who can stand with us."
The meaning is simple, even with the influence of the Jiang clan, gathering a group of people.
It has no effect, because no matter what.
This world.
Relies on one thing only.
Which is power, at least generally speaking.
Especially for the various Star Realms, without alliances based on trust, there is no meaning.
Like the Ji Family and the Eternal Race allied with various forces, but if ultimately.
They find themselves at a disadvantage. Those so-called allies.
Might immediately betray them.
Only collaborations like that of the Jiang Family and Heavenly Court pose no problems.
If any side faces danger, the other will give their all.
Beside them, the siblings exchanged glances after hearing his words.
Because what Lu Yuan said was indeed very reasonable.
Previously, all they thought about was expanding their own military power, without considering other aspects.
"So, what do you think we should do next?" Jiang Haokong asked, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"As before, so after," Lu Yuan smiled, "If the two major forces choose to act, let them. We just need to know what they’re doing at all times and proceed with our previous plan."
"I believe that whether it’s the Ji Clan or the Eternal Race, in due time, they will reveal their purpose."
"Then, it will be our time to act. The key is not to be led by the nose by the opponent."
The reason why the two major forces suddenly did this can be nothing else but for an undisclosed purpose.
As long as this is understood, that’s enough.
No matter how many forces you have.
I remain unmoved.
This is the principle.
"I know what to do now."
Jiang Ningxian nodded as well, believing Lu Yuan had never been wrong.
And also believing that actively uniting some people is indeed unnecessary.
True allies wouldn’t be drawn away.
If a conflict arises by then.
Many things would be uncertain.
"By the way, my father will be descending soon, but he won’t stay long. He just wants to have a talk with you."
Suddenly, Jiang Ningxian seemed to remember something and spoke, which had already been decided before.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded, actually quite looking forward to it too.
The strongest of the current universe.
What might he say?
About the two Domain Masters, or perhaps something else?
