SWNOVELXO Chapter 901 - 901: 999 Tang San's Plan
Chapter 901: 999 Chapter Tang San’s Plan
Tang San said: “Our life force comes from the earth, from the planes, from Demon Monster Land. Our innate ability is life absorption, and Tree Ancestor has endowed us with the power of Life Deprive. No matter where we are, as long as we take root, life absorption will always be present, and it can gather the life force of a place within ourselves. A portion of the immense life force we accumulate is used for our own digestion and absorption, and the surplus life force, after being filtered by us, will naturally dissipate. This is why the life force in Jianmu City is so rich. So, Great Elder, I ask you, what would happen if you took root in another main city? You would naturally be able to absorb the life force of that place to nourish yourself. As long as no one affects you, you could rely on the life force of that land for cultivation and self-improvement. Although the absence of Tree Ancestor’s radiance would slow down the cultivation speed, there are many clansmen in Jianmu City, and the life force they can absorb is only from this part of Jianmu City. Jianmu City’s life force is indeed vast due to the presence of Tree Ancestor, but is it really enough for our clansmen’s cultivation?”
“All races know that our clan is not skilled in combat. Even with a high state, our actual combat power is not strong. There is no lethal threat. So, if we have clansmen stationed in every main city, absorbing life force in that place. It would certainly be easier for those who spread out to improve their state than those who are all gathered here. In Jianmu City, the majority of the life force is actually absorbed by us, the Elders, while the ordinary clansmen only get limited life force. But Demon Monster Land is so vast and is the place where the majority of the planes’ Luck gathers. Wouldn’t it be greatly beneficial for our cultivation if we let our clansmen spread out to the major main cities?”
“At the same time, while we cultivate ourselves, we only need the highest level, the most core part of the life force in that city. The excess, the life force we have absorbed, will naturally be emitted. In the short run, perhaps there is not much of a difference, but over time, our presence can change the intensity of life force in that city, thereby benefiting all races in that city. Tell me, isn’t that what those main cities want? At the same time, we can also spread the radiance of Tree Ancestor further.”
“In the past, this approach was impossible. Because our combat power was too weak, once we went to a main city, we would likely become a delicacy for a few powerful beings, unable to achieve what I mentioned, and even safety would be a problem. But now, the Diamond Elf King has been killed by Tree Ancestor, and for a short period, no one dares to act rashly against our clan. Under these circumstances, we can carry out this plan using the excuse of giving back to the major main cities and races, and we would be able to control the life force of the main cities in a short period. At the same time, there will be sufficient time for these main cities to feel the benefits we bring. By that time, with the deterrence of Tree Ancestor still present, and if I can become Emperor again, as time goes on and your states are elevated to a high enough level, you will bring even larger life force to these main cities, so that all races in the main cities can benefit. Tell me, wouldn’t we become beings they revere? The fundamental solution to our clan’s safety issues is to let all races understand that there’s no need for plunder and slaughter, as long as they protect us, they can benefit by our side. This is the true path.”
After listening to Tang San’s words, the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders present fell into a brief silence. Some of the more astute Elders already had gleams of different colors flashing in their eyes.
Undoubtedly, taking the initiative to go to other main cities carries risks, and this thought is deeply ingrained in the minds of the Blue Gold Tree Clan. However, if they could really achieve everything Tang San described, then the Blue Gold Tree Clan would have unprecedented development. Tree Ancestor’s radiance could truly shine on every corner of the Continent. The Blue Gold Tree Clan would also become a revered existence by all races.
“Patriarch, if we really can do as you say, it would be a tremendous blessing for our clan. It’s something Tree Ancestor had not managed to achieve. However, whether it’s Rihchen Empire or Tianyu Empire, each race has its own motives, would they really accept our plan? If Tree Ancestor falls back into slumber and these races suddenly turn against us, how should we handle ourselves? Moreover, there are risks involved in this process. I am afraid it’s not that easy to achieve.”
Tang San nodded and said: “Great Elder, I am well aware of your concerns. Therefore, for now, this is just a broad idea, and the specifics still need to be discussed, with our clansmen’s safety being the top priority. I am going to the Ancestral Court to report for duty, and also to discuss with the Emperors there. Only with the support of all the Emperors can I carry out this plan, otherwise, there’s no point even mentioning it. As long as the Ancestral Court is not shortsighted, they will understand the benefits of what I am doing. This is the biggest support to the Ancestral Court and also greatly beneficial for the Continent’s stability. If we can get the recognition of the Emperors, then the first ones to be dispatched are us, the Elders. Only you have enough power to absorb the life force of a place.”
The Great Elder was still furrowing his brows. It wasn’t just him; a look of concern could be seen in the eyes of all the Elders present. After all, they had been oppressed for far too long. Now, being tasked to proactively take up residence in the main city, they were indeed very worried in their hearts.
Tang San said: “Everyone, no need to be anxious. Let’s wait until I’ve reported to the Ancestral Court before we make any decisions. Also, please be assured, dear Elders, our Blue Gold Tree Clan will not become an autocracy just because I am the patriarch. We will only proceed with such an important direction for development when it is approved by the majority of the Elders.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Elders relaxed considerably, and their fondness for Tang San increased further.
The Great Elder said: “Patriarch, you are right. If your plan can truly be implemented successfully, our Blue Gold Tree Clan might even become the biggest and strongest race on the whole Demon Monster Land. But indeed, we do have concerns, and we will also see what kind of assurances the Ancestral Court can give us.”
Tang San nodded slightly and said: “I am quite confident that I can persuade the Ancestral Court. But let’s talk about everything after I return. I am ready to set off immediately to report to the Ancestral Court. There’s no need to visit the other main cities.”
Previously, going to Diamond City was to make an example out of one to warn the others, now it could be said to be warning the others by attacking the Emperor directly. The prestige of the Blue Gold Tree Clan had been established, and the Ancestral Court must be in some chaos. But with a month’s reprieve, from the attitude of each main city towards the Blue Gold Tree Clan, it was obvious that the direction from the Ancestral Court was certainly favorable. At this time, as the patriarch of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, Tang San could join the chaotic discussions at the Ancestral Court.
How to maximize the benefits for the Blue Gold Tree Clan, and consequently, provide potential benefits to humans, was also something Tang San was supposed to achieve during this reporting process.
The reason for promoting migration of the Blue Gold Tree Clan to every main city, wasn’t it to bring the support of the Blue Gold Tree Clan’s life force to the distant human world? The life force of humans was indeed too fragile, which was an important reason why their race development was not advancing. After feeling the abundant life force from the Blue Gold Tree Clan, how could Tang San not have any ideas?
