Chapter 1518 - 1517: You Must Lead the Ten Great Sects
Su Yang previously didn’t understand the Heavenly War, nor did he know how these people planned to alter the Rules of Heaven and Earth.
Now, after hearing the dean explain, Su Yang finally grasped the situation and understood what this so-called alteration of the Rules of Heaven and Earth was all about.
"The Ten Great Sects—do they know about the Heavenly Realm?" Su Yang asked.
"Of course they know!" The dean nodded.
Su Yang asked in confusion, "Since they know, they should understand that the Heavenly Realm has always been eyeing the Human Realm covetously. In this situation, they ought to resist the Heavenly Realm with full force. How could they still entertain other thoughts?"
"People who live in comfort for too long lose their vigilance toward danger." The dean said softly, "The Ten Great Sects do know about the affairs of the Heavenly Realm, but that was back in the Ancient Times. Ever since the establishment of the Celestial Court, there hasn’t been a similar crisis in the Human Realm. The members of the Ten Great Sects have been living too comfortably, forgetting the ambitions of the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, in recent years, the Celestial Court has been getting closer to the Ten Great Sects. They’ve even gifted them quite a few secret techniques and persistently indoctrinated them, leading them to believe that once they’ve attained the Earthly Immortal Realm, they automatically become members of the Heavenly Realm. To them, they hardly consider themselves residents of the Human Realm anymore—why would they care about the ambitions of the Heavenly Realm?"
Su Yang furrowed his brow. These Ten Great Sects truly see themselves as gods of the Heavenly Realm?
"During the last Heavenly War, the Ten Great Sects didn’t lend us their support at all. Although many concerned individuals did assist, the war still ended in a disastrous defeat," the dean said. "This time, the Celestial Court has won seven battles, allowing seven members of the Heavenly Realm to enter the Human Realm. Following that, the Celestial Court contacted the Ten Great Sects to reopen negotiations and discuss the issue of the Human Realm’s future. Meanwhile, some opportunists took advantage of the moment to propose altering the Rules of Heaven and Earth, resulting in the rumors that are circulating now. Moreover, sects like the Medicine Sect, Hidden Sword Pavilion, and Heavenly Blade Peak have continually echoed calls to alter the Rules of Heaven and Earth. Among the Ten Great Sects, there are still many wavering factions. The future of this matter is hard to predict!"
