Chapter 1490 - 1438— - 1439
For the current Divine Land World, their relentless expansion, strengthening, deepening of essence, and transformation of the world was indeed an unquestionably right choice.
However, there were also constant hidden dangers that would emerge. The simplest way to describe it would be overindulgence—they simply could not truly digest these resources and fortunes, nor could they transform these powers into their own foundations, their own strength.
Once the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan was initiated, halting it was not as simple as just deciding to stop, especially when everyone was continuously reaping fortuitous opportunities and gaining benefits.
Under such circumstances, the now well-developed Expansion Plan of the Heavenly Court was unstoppable, not even by the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing and the many True Immortals who had been the initial push behind this project.
Tremendous benefits and countless fortuitous opportunities attracted all creatures of the Divine Land World. If these benefits were only available to a select few, a small boat could turn around easily, and with their power, it would be entirely possible to prevent it.
Yet, the benefits brought about by the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan were not limited to one or two individuals, but nearly encompassed all beings of the Divine Land World, forming a huge interest group that was unimaginable and could not be easily swayed by any powerful entity. Even if it were possible to sway them, the outcome would be mutually destructive, with no one emerging victoriously.
Perhaps for a True Immortal, ordinary Cultivators are no more than ants, but when ants are numerous enough, the power they can exert is enough to change heavens and earth, compelling even True Immortals to step back in apprehension.
Moreover, why change this situation? Wasn’t this scenario precisely what Pei Xuanjing and other True Immortals had hoped to see?
Pei Xuanjing had proposed the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan precisely to change the self-consuming situation of the original Divine Land World, to bind all beings to their chariot, uniting the strength of all creatures for their use, for their exploration, to seek out even farther Realms.
Now that they had achieved what they desired, far from stopping it, they would push it further, stoking the flames to allow this force to continue growing and then to expand even more.
And since this was Pei Xuanjing’s goal and plan, being his disciple, Pang Hong naturally regarded Pei Xuanjing’s words as paramount. He would not raise any objections to his master’s plan; instead, he would support it, looking for any oversights to correct, and contribute his own strength to it.
The most significant issue faced by the Divine Land World, now thriving amidst the fiery progress of the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan, was managing the expanding world—the growth of territories and increase in creatures—with insufficient manpower within the Heavenly Court.
