I, Chu Xinghe, Just Wanted to Be a Tool This Time!
Others learn from their mistakes, but Chu Xinghe learns from one mistake, then another... and yet another...
But no matter how many mistakes one makes, Chu Xinghe wonders, does making more mistakes mean one won't grow?
Given what has happened recently, if this were in the past, I Chu Xinghe, would have already taken action.
Take the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, for example, which is currently suffering huge losses... Did Chu Xinghe not even make a move this time?
If this were my old self, with everyone else laying off employees and cutting salaries, do you think I, Chu Xinghe, would have insisted on a raise?
And do you really think I, Chu Xinghe, know nothing about Qin Xiangqian opening the spirit stone area?
Let me tell you, the fact that I just wanted to lie low this time doesn't mean I don't know anything. On the contrary, everything is under my control!
Do you think I, Chu Xinghe, didn't know when that bastard Ma Liang was discussing things with Qin Xiangqian?
Let me tell you, the Vast Heaven Holy Land is full of shadowy figures!
To be honest, Chu Xinghe was genuinely excited when he heard Ma Liang and Qin Xiangqian discussing opening the spirit stone area.
This time, not only is there nothing wrong with me, Chu Xinghe, but even my first and second most trusted confidants combined are flawless!
Look at the ideas these two came up with! Isn't that just a recipe for disaster?
However, Chu Xinghe had some reservations about Qin Xiangqian's initial approach of limiting the number of exchanges.
As the president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, Old Qin, how can you be so stingy?
Chu Xinghe even considered personally taking charge of the operation...
But in the end, Chu Xinghe held back!
Don't move!
Do not move! This is all a scheme by the Misfortune Compass. If I move even slightly, the Misfortune Compass will immediately arrange all sorts of backstabbing attacks on me, Chu Xinghe.
After experiencing so many failures, Chu Xinghe also carefully analyzed the situation of the Misfortune Compass.
You see, every time I've ever overcome the Misfortune Compass in the past, it wasn't because my ideas were so brilliant, but because unexpected things happened during my planning process.
For example, Zheng Yu's several actions were all accidental.
Every time Zheng Yu helped him secure a reward, it was because Zheng Yu's actions were not part of his plan.
This means that the Misfortune Compass will not interfere unless something you planned happens.
So this time, Chu Xinghe to lie low and let others take the lead. He just wanted to win without lifting a finger!
The Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce is now receiving more and more resources every day, and they've already gotten back on track despite the losses!
Furthermore, the White Tiger side is already preparing the Earth Spirit Warm Resonance Grand Array!
This Earth Spirit Warm Resonance Grand Array is no joke. It needs to nourish the earth veins of the entire Three Continents. Although the resources consumed in one or two days are not much, it is definitely a sustainable consumption.
Because the Earth Spirit Warm Resonance Grand Array needs to be kept open for a full fifty years, until the Earth Spirit is fully restored!
Therefore, the White Tiger faction is definitely consuming the sect's resources sustainably...
With an Earth Spirit Warm Resonance Grand Array and the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce suffering huge losses, tell me, isn't this a double win for me Chu Xinghe?
"When the Taiyang rises, I climb the hillside; when I reach the top, I want to sing, hey, I sing to the compass... and the compass trembles with anger!"
Chu Xinghe had already started humming a little tune.
Chu Xinghe thought he was about to have two flowers bloom, but he never expected that he would have three flowers bloom at the top!
Look at the state the Cui Clan has become! Tell me, wasn't this a huge loss?
Good heavens, Xuanwu's Mysterious Water Grand Array is going to consume three years' worth of resources from the Vast Heaven Divine Domain without a second thought?
That's the Vast Heaven Divine Domain!
It's not that I, Chu Xinghe, look down on the Cui Clan, but even if you skinned the Cui Clan alive and sold them off, they still wouldn't be worth this many resources!
So Chu Xinghe almost couldn't help but shout that I agreed!
But after much deliberation, Chu Xinghe suppressed his excitement...
This is still a scheme by the Misfortune Compass. I'm not going to fall for it. I have to Watch Quietly as Things Change!
Senior Brother Shen Chun was very efficient. Chu Xinghe, along with Xuanwu Sacred Venerable and Clan Head Cui, did not have to wait long in the Haotian Grand Hall. The heads of the various palaces of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, along with the Grand Elder, the Holy Lord, and the Holy Empress, arrived at the Haotian Grand Hall.
With the arrival of many powerful figures, the Clan Head Cui, along with the Xuanwu Sacred Venerable, recounted the entire situation that the Cui Clan had encountered to all the powerful figures of the Vast Heaven Holy Land present!
After hearing about what had happened to the Cui Clan, the Holy Empress, a former Queen of Spirit Beasts, frowned deeply.
Holy Empress Ji Ya was all too aware of the predicament the Cui Clan was currently facing.
To put it bluntly, the problems the Cui Clan is facing now are even more troublesome than those faced by the Ning Clan and Ming Clans before.
The Ning Clan losing the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring only means losing a fixed source of resources... It won't have a significant impact on their combat strength, as long as they find new resources.
If the Ming Clan abandons the Puppetry Art, although they will suffer heavy losses, they will not be wiped out.
However, the situation of the Cui Clan is completely different now. From the Cui Clan Head Cui down to every disciple, no one in the entire Cui Clan can use the Earth Spirit and Earth Vein Power.
In other words, if the Xuanwu Sacred Venerable doesn't intervene, the Cui Clan is essentially doomed.
But the problem now is not as simple as the Xuanwu Sacred Venerable taking action. The real issue is that if the Cui Clan wants to regain the Mystic Water Power, it will require three years' worth of production from the Vast Heaven Divine Domain!
Even though Holy Empress Ji Ya has long since become desensitized to resources in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, the output of the Vast Heaven Divine Domain over three years is still terrifying!
Just as Ji Ya fell silent, a voice came from behind!
"The Four Great Clans have an extraordinary relationship with us Four Sacred Beasts. The ancestors of the Four Great Clans were once our comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. Now that the descendants of our comrades-in-arms are facing the crisis of extinction, how can we Four Sacred Beasts sit idly by? I, Azure Dragon, support them!"
Azure Dragon was the first to jump out. What the heck? You ask why Azure Dragon was in such a hurry?
Azure Dragon said, "You only see that I'm anxious, but you have no idea just how anxious I really am."
I'm so anxious I could take off...
This is the output of the Vast Heaven Divine Domain for three years! If we give it away this time, I, Azure Dragon, will have to take a year-end vacation. Do you think you're standing in the Haotian Grand Hall right now?
Let me tell you, if I, Azure Dragon, succeed this time, then the place where you are standing right now will be the main hall of my Azure Dragon Divine Hall!
After all, Xinghe personally promised me that Haotian Palace could be transformed into my Azure Dragon Azure Dragon Divine Hall.
So just tell me if it's stable or not, that's all...
No one paid any attention to Azure Dragon at this moment... because Elder He didn't even need to use his Power of Mind and Spirit to find out Azure Dragon's little schemes; Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable practically had his intention to squander the sect's resources written all over his face.
At this moment, many of the bigwigs from the Vast Heaven Holy Land fell into deep thought.
To be honest, the output of the Vast Heaven Divine Domain over three years is enormous, but if it were in the past, Gu Mingchao would have agreed without hesitation to help the Cui Clan.
After all, although it seems like they lost three years' worth of resources from the Vast Heaven Divine Domain, they gained the Cui Clan as their eternal ally.
The Cui Clan is now on the verge of extinction. Without the help of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, the Cui Clan would truly be doomed.
Therefore, this is almost equivalent to a second life. The Cui Clan has absolutely no reason to betray such a debt of gratitude. If the Cui Clan were to betray them, even the Evil Spirits of the Evil Shadow Continent would probably curse them for having no bottom line!
The problem is that now that the spirit mines are losing their spiritual energy, it's no exaggeration to say that apart from the Vast Heaven Divine Domain, there are no other places in the Three Continents that produce spirit stones.
At this time, the output of the Vast Heaven Divine Domain over three years was no joke.
Why hasn't the Grand Elder stopped the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce from losing so much money lately?
The reason is simple: they have the support of the Vast Heaven Divine Domain!
"Holy Lord Gu, if the Vast Heaven Holy Land can defy fate for my Cui Clan this time, my Cui Clan will forever be allied with the Vast Heaven Holy Land, sharing both glory and ruin. No matter what needs the Vast Heaven Holy Land may have in the future, the Cui Clan will be ready to risk our lives and never regret it!"
The Clan Head Cui knew that this was truly a matter of life and death for the Cui Clan, and if he did not make a statement now, he might really have no chance left.
Although the Clan Head Cui spoke sincerely, many of the bigwigs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land did not speak up immediately.
Finally, the Grand Elder turned his gaze to Xinghe... The Grand Elder was puzzled; what was wrong with Xinghe today?
Given Xinghe's personality, she should take the initiative to agree to Clan Head Cui right now.
From a moral standpoint, although the Grand Elder and the others felt sorry for the output of the Vast Heaven Holy Land over the past three years, the Grand Elder still intended to help.
Otherwise, the big shots of Vast Heaven Holy Land wouldn't need to remain silent at this moment; they could have simply refused.
The bigwigs of Vast Heaven Holy Land tacitly refrained from agreeing, mainly wanting to leave this opportunity to Xinghe.
At this point, if Xinghe were to step forward and express his willingness to help, all the bigwigs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land would readily agree.
This not only helped the Cui Clan, but also ensured that the Cui Clan would forever remember the kindness of the Vast Heaven Holy Land and the kindness of the Xinghe.
In the past, every time the Vast Heaven Holy Land made a move, did you really think that the bigwigs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land were fools who just wanted to Watch Quietly as Things Change?
Every one of these big shots from the Vast Heaven Holy Land has come through countless trials and tribulations; they are all cunning old foxes.
The reason why everyone knows these things but doesn't say anything is because they want to leave the opportunity to Xinghe!
Half of Chu Xinghe's reputation for being benevolent and righteous is due to the special favor bestowed upon him by the powerful figures of the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
The reason everyone chose to Watch Quietly as Things Change is not because they are helpless. They chose to Watch Quietly as Things Change because they believe in Xinghe, and also because they want to pave the way for Xinghe and leave all the opportunities for Xinghe to gain fame!
Everyone says Gu Mingchao is the mascot of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but can someone who can defend the title of the number one sect and the strongest person in the world really be just a mascot?
He became a mascot because he wanted to be one, not because he was only qualified to be one!
At this moment, all the bigwigs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land looked at Chu Xinghe, and their meaning was very clear!
Xinghe! Up!
Hurry! Go!
Seeing the looks in the eyes of the big shots around him, Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears...
However, now that things had come to this, Chu Xinghe knew he had no choice but to speak up.
"Actually, I felt that from the moment Xuanwu Sacred Venerable convened this meeting, I understood what Xuanwu Sacred Venerable wanted to do. So since Xuanwu Sacred Venerable already has a plan, Xinghe naturally supports Xuanwu Sacred Venerable's decision!"
After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, all the bigwigs nodded in agreement!
Chu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief...
Although Chu Xinghe spoke this time, I handed over the final decision to Xuanwu Sacred Venerable, so I can't say that I controlled the situation this time. I, Chu Xinghe, am just a tool in this game, and I will absolutely not guide the direction of anything!
