The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings - Chapter 556
Chapter 556: Chapter 504: Set a Heavenly Rule Above Everyone’s Head!
This world is dominated by the era of the strong, where the cries of the weak are unheard, and the whispers of the powerful deeply engrain into people’s hearts.
Whether it was before the awakening of Heaven and Earth or after, the weak often remain voiceless. They face calamity with little power to resist and can only endure in silence.
Pei Xuanjing had already pondered a number of times in his heart about the scenarios that could possible ensue in the upcoming Great World.
If he chose to not get involved, despite the existence of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, he still wouldn’t be able to prevent what was about to happen. As the powerful become more powerful, the general populace, the martial artists, even if Pei Xuanjing left them a path, in the face of countless people, those who truly seize the opportunity to rise are destined to be the majority.
Therefore, as Heaven and Earth continue to awaken, and more and more powerhouses return from the Sky Wasteland, should these powerhouses continue to fight recklessly, the risk facing the ordinary people invariably increases.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing wanted as much as possible to dissolve this situation and eliminate potential dangers.
A pact was one method that Pei Xuanjing had in mind.
He wanted to establish a rule that strong beings of the Spirit Realm are not allowed to harm mortals or fight within cities…
Only in this way could these potential dangers be eliminated.
What he wanted Xue Renfang to sign was precisely such a pact.
“Would the people really accept it?” Xue Renfang asked, pondering over Pei Xuanjing’s proposal.
Even though he had previously learned of Pei Xuanjing’s achievements and knew that he had achieved great things affecting the entire world.
Before meeting with Pei Xuanjing, Xue Renfang had prepared himself for certain matters, yet he was shocked to hear Pei Xuanjing’s concept.
“Are you trying to establish this as a law that all powerful beings must abide by?” Xue Renfang couldn’t help but exclaim.
Xue Renfang’s words were very euphemistic, a law?
Without a doubt, what Pei Xuanjing was doing was imposing a restraint, a shackle on everyone.
Would the brash and domineering powerhouses of the Sky Wasteland be willing to abide by this rule?
Pei Xuanjing spoke firmly, “Someone has to do these things, otherwise, wouldn’t the masses be unfairly affected? Their lives are not mere weeds by the roadside.”
He was aware that many difficulties lay ahead in implementing his idea, perhaps unprecedented ones.
No one wants to impose unnecessary restrictions on themselves, especially the powerful cultivators.
However, someone has to do these things.
If Pei Xuanjing did not possess power, he might not do it, he would just look out for himself. But now that he had ample strength, why not give it a try?
After all, even if his attempt had minimal effect, it could save countless lives.
Moreover, most importantly, this is not meaningless for Pei Xuanjing. He could also benefit from it.
According to Pei Xuanjing’s deduction, the path to Becoming Immortal includes the five types of Heaven, Earth, Humans, Immortals, and Ghosts. The base of the path for the Immortals is related to this matter.
“But how do you intend to get these people to agree?” Xue Renfang sighed and asked in confusion.
He was unsure where Pei Xuanjing’s confidence came from. At present, Pei Xuanjing was indeed powerful, and with his strength at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, he was invincible in the Ancestral Land. No one could defy his will, his plan could indeed be temporarily implemented.
But what would happen then?
As Heaven and Earth awaken, the number of powerhouses it can accommodate is constantly increasing, along with the return of the ancient forces and powerhouses from the Sky Wasteland, would they accept the rules set by Pei Xuanjing and willingly impose shackles upon themselves?
Absolutely not!
Facing opposition from these forces and people, could Pei Xuanjing continue to suppress them and make them comply?
No!
Not even Pei Xuanjing, a strong being at the seventh level of the spiritual realm, or even at the eight, or even the strongest at the nine realms of spirit, could achieve this.
This is not something that one person or even one power can accomplish.
Does one really think that no one has ever thought of this over thousands of years? Of course not.
Throughout these countless eras, many rulers of the Divine Dynasty had this idea. They wanted to instill their will and protect their subjects.
However, even in the most prosperous era of the Divine Dynasty, the top powerhouses and forces still had privileges. Even if they violated some rules of the Divine Dynasty, they were not necessarily punished.
Because it’s not worth it.
The Divine Dynasty might be able to suppress ordinary cultivators.
But any top-notch force or top-notch powerhouse wouldn’t easily surrender, they were not entities that the Divine Dynasty could suppress effortlessly.
Therefore, such rules could only ever restrain the common people, they were just pretense when faced with powerful people.
If Pei Xuanjing’s pact were only targeted at ordinary cultivators, Xue Renfang might agree to it on behalf of the ruler.
But if it were to encapsulate all the powerhouses in the world, then Xue Renfang felt he didn’t have the authority to agree, not even the ruler of the ancient country of Da Xue would dare to agree to this matter lightly.
Pei Xuanjing asked with a smile, “Would you agree to it?”
Pei Xuanjing was well aware of Xue Renfang’s worries, he knew the difficulties that could be encountered in implementing this plan.
But he had some ideas and plans for these, such as aligning some, suppressing some, and dividing and ruling. It was as simple as that.
He just hadn’t found the right opportunity yet, but with Xue Renfang’s visit today, Pei Xuanjing saw the perfect opportunity.
“Are you suggesting that Da Xue should be the first to sign this pact?” Xue Renfang asked seriously.
It seemed that what he had been most worried about was about to happen, Pei Xuanjing seemed to want Da Xue to be the forerunner.
Pei Xuanjing asked, “Don’t you want to?”
Xue Renfang declared, “Other matters can be discussed, but this matter cannot be agreed upon lightly.”
This was a major issue. If agreed to rashly, they could become a target, and when someone brings up old scores in the future, no one, not even the ruler, could possibly protect them.
“What if it’s just a temporary agreement?”
