Chapter 1169: The Heavenly Dao Is Wrong
The noble families and clans of the Great Zhou were feeling disgruntled. The Great Zhou was considered a peak Tier Four civilization, while the Guanxuan Universe was barely considered Tier One.
Expecting a Tier Four civilization to submit to a Tier One was just absurd.
Nonetheless, they had some respect for Ye Guan. After all, during the Great Zhou's crisis, Ye Guan had stepped forward. However, they all believed that the union between Ye Guan and Zhou Fan was too much.
They believed that Ye Guan was overreaching.
A Tier One civilization marrying into a Tier Four ono. Wasn't that aiming too high?
Therefore, when the Great Zhou joined the Guanxuan Academy, there were countless objections. However, due to Zhou Fan's and the imperial family's strong suppression, many factions and clans had no choice but to submit. Even so, resentment lingered, especially since the power gap between Guanxuan Universe's factions and the Great Zhou's was significant. Having to bow to Guanxuan Universe left many in the Great Zhou dissatisfied.
This led to an inherent sense of superiority among the Great Zhou's factions and clans when dealing with the Guanxuan Universe.
Thankfully, Zhou Fan proposed regional governance, which helped maintain peace. Over the years, while there were minor skirmishes between the Great Zhou and Guanxuan Universe, no significant conflicts arose.
However, the murder of an Academy Chief from the Great Zhou had truly enraged Zhou Ling.
