Chapter 1270 - 1218 - 1219 The Heavenly Court Has Decided You Will Be the Protagonist
The so-called Emperor does not skimp on feeding his troops.
In Pei Xuanjing’s plan, if he wanted to tell this story in this world and direct this play, having Wood Virtue Star Lord play the leading male role, it was only natural to compensate him; otherwise, it would be somewhat unreasonable.
Although, given Pei Xuanjing’s status, he could have demanded participation solely based on the interests of the Great Ming World and the righteousness of the Heavenly Court without promising anything in return, he chose not to do so.
The story of Zigong Redeeming the Cow already made it clear that while Pei Xuanjing could use morality to bind Wood Virtue Star Lord, there was absolutely no need to do so.
They were not incapable of affording the compensation. The benefits of integrating this world into the Great Ming World were immense, enough to benefit all the strong in the Great Ming World. Why make one’s own people suffer unnecessarily?
Moreover, the plan they were currently implementing to expand the world was not a one-time deal. If everything went as expected, such activities would continue indefinitely, never ceasing.
If they made Wood Virtue Star Lord forego compensation due to righteousness this time, what would it mean for those who came after? It could not always be that these pioneers of the Heavenly Court, who did the hardest and most tiring work, got nothing in return and harbored dissatisfaction.
Therefore, at the very beginning, Pei Xuanjing had set up a charter to determine the contribution of each individual based on their effort in expanding the world and deciding their rewards accordingly. Only with such a distinct system of rewards and punishments could this situation be maintained smoothly and healthily.
"You shall carry the banner in this entire endeavor, and I, the Emperor, will assist you in ascending the Immortal Path Realm in this world. Once the future plans are complete, and you return to the Heavenly Court, you will then receive both Immortal Artifacts forging and Divine Position authority enhancement. What say you?" Pei Xuanjing gazed directly at Wood Virtue Star Lord, waiting for his response.
With such generous terms, he did not believe that Wood Virtue Star Lord would refuse. While there were risks, the rewards were unimaginably great.
