"...Dragon Clan is domineering, Phoenix Race is aloof, I, Kirin Race, should embrace all things with a great Heaviness of Earth, and influence all living beings with a heart of kindness. This is the long-term way." First Kirin's voice was deep and powerful, explaining his ideas.
However, before he finished speaking, like all the elders with advanced cultivation in the hall, their expressions suddenly condensed, and they all looked in the direction of Longevity Mountain.
The fluctuation of the oath that contained the will of the three Primordial Origin Golden Immortal and Heavenly Dao Power was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, clearly transmitted to their perception, and the vision of Profound Yellow Merit that followed it shocked their hearts even more.
"Zhenyuanzi...Hong Yun... and, Daoist Yin Yang!" Elder Panshi, an elder in brown Scaly Race with a fierce aura, whispered, his face full of disbelief.
"They actually formed an alliance? It takes Heavenly Dao Witness to show such merit!"
There was silence in the hall for a while, with only the faint sound of the wind slowly drifting by the auspicious clouds outside the hall. All the elders' eyes subconsciously turned to First Kirin, who was sitting on the main seat.
First Kirin's face gradually lost its calmness and calmness, and was replaced by a kind of deep thinking and a trace of indescribable complex emotions.
He slowly leaned back on the chair, his fingers caressing the warm jade on the armrest of the seat unconsciously. His eyes seemed to have no focus, penetrating the palace and looking at the distant Longevity Mountain.
After a long time, he sighed softly, with obvious regret and regret in his sigh.
"What a pity... it's really a pity." First Kirin spoke slowly, his voice a little lower than usual.
"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi is the incarnation of Essence of Innate Earthen Energy. It is close to the origin of the earth, and its way is even more profound. Sorting out Earth Veins and protecting living beings has many similarities with my Kirin Race philosophy. Fellow Daoist Hongyun is also a kind-hearted person.
If we can recruit these two people, even if it is just to establish a closer alliance, it will be an unparalleled help for us, Kirin Race, to stabilize the foundation of the earth and cope with the pressure of dragons and phoenixes."
He recalled the scene where he had a discussion with Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun. Zhenyuanzi's deep understanding of Way of the Great Earth and his unique insights into Earth Veins impressed him deeply.
Hong Yun Although Carefree, he is kind-hearted and easy to make friends with.
He had indeed thought about establishing a deeper relationship with these two powerful neighbors, and even considered inviting them as deputy leader or guest elder to share Kirin Race Fortune.
"Now it seems," First Kirin shook his head, the regret in his tone became even stronger, "it's just a poor man who is indecisive and his movements are slow.
In other words, he underestimated Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi's ambition and means.
Not only did he reject possible external solicitations, but he took the initiative and united with ancient beings like Daoist Yin Yang to form the core of his own force.
This move has already shown that his ambition is not small and he is definitely not willing to be inferior to others.
I, Kirin Race... have completely lost the best opportunity to recruit them to join us, or in other words, to cooperate in an equal and in-depth manner."
His analysis was calm and objective, and pointed out the key points.
Zhenyuanzi has now established his own business and formed an alliance with Yinyang and Hong Yun. The momentum is huge. He is already a prince. How can he accept Kirin Race's "solicitation" again?
The future relationship between the two parties will be more of a game between equal forces, or even...
Thinking of this, First Kirin's eyes became sharper, and the shrewdness and vigilance of Emperor under the honest face were undoubtedly revealed:
"Not only cannot they be recruited, but with the potential and strength shown by this alliance, in the future... at certain junctures of interest, far from being a help, they are very likely to become our Kirin Race potential rivals to control the land and even compete for Primordial Wilderness Fortune."
An elder Elder Xuanhuang who was good at Deduce Heavenly Secrets and had an ethereal aura stepped forward and bowed:
"Your Majesty's utmost concern is that Zhenyuanzi controls Book of the Earth and determines Earth Veins. This is the core of Earth Authority. Its Longevity Mountain is located to the west of Buzhou Mountain, which is a key geographical location.
Now that the alliance has just formed, it may still focus on self-preservation, but over time, its influence will inevitably expand outward as its strength increases.
At that time, there will inevitably be friction and conflict with me, Kirin Race, over the ownership of the land's dominance, resources, and even dependent creatures.
Then Daoist Yin Yang is the best at seizing the opportunity and will definitely encourage Zhenyuanzi to strive for more benefits."
Another elder with a more impatient temperament (who can be called Elder Lie Ti) couldn't help but say after hearing this:
"Your Majesty! Since we have foreseen that we may be enemies in the future, why not take advantage of the fact that their alliance has just been established and its foundation is not yet stable, and we will..."
"No!" First Kirin interrupted flatly, his voice calm but with unquestionable determination, "Elder Lie Ti, please be patient."
He stood up, walked steadily to the front of the palace, and looked into the distance, where there seemed to be dragon shadows tumbling and phoenix wings covering the sky.
"You need to know that although long-term concerns are necessary, short-term concerns are more urgent!" First Kirin said in a serious tone, "The top priority now is not to provoke a new alliance whose strength is unknown, whose motives need to be observed, and which have no direct conflict with us yet.
The real thorn in my side, Kirin Race, is the ambitious Ancestor Dragon on the East Sea who always wants to land and encroach on my territory!
It's the Yuanfeng in the south who is aloof and constantly instigates the Flying Birds tribe in the Beasts to alienate!"
His voice echoed in the hall, carrying heavy pressure:
"Dragon Clan controls water and is in conflict with our territorial defenses. Its domineering and aggressive nature has caused a lot of friction on our eastern border and caused increasing casualties.
Phoenix Race Palm Sky has a natural attraction for the ethnic group in Beasts that has the ability to fly. Its strategy of division and co-optation is shaking the foundation of our ethnic group.
These two tribes are the real life-and-death enemies that threaten our Kirin Race survival and dominance right now!
If you are distracted from other people's attention at this time, or even make enemies of Longevity Mountain, it will be tantamount to destroying the Great Wall and pushing the destiny of the family to a place of no return!"
He looked around the elders with a firm gaze. "It is my decree that all strategic resources, troop deployments, and diplomatic focus, up and down Kirin Race, must be fully focused on dealing with the pressure from the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Race.
Regarding the alliance between Longevity Mountain Zhenyuanzi and others, we will not give an official response for the time being, and we only need to keep it known internally.
Maintain constant vigilance at the intersection of its forces, but strictly prohibit any provocative or provocative actions. All interactions should remain as they are and wait and see what happens."
He paused and added, "Of course, it is necessary to secretly strengthen surveillance and intelligence collection on the Longevity Mountain Alliance's movements, especially those of Daoist Yin Yang.
But we must remember that at the current stage, stabilizing them and preventing them from falling to either Dragon Clan or Phoenix Race is the greatest success of our clan."
First Kirin's decision-making is clear and pragmatic.
In the face of the absolute main contradiction, he suppressed his fear and regret for the Zhenyuanzi alliance and made a decision that was most in line with Kirin Race's current interests - shelving the dispute and focusing on the main enemy.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" All the elders bowed in unison, understanding the profound meaning of First Kirin.
The order was conveyed quickly. Kirin Cliff was still shrouded in auspiciousness and benevolent, but the internal war machine was already operating more efficiently, aiming directly at the waves of the East Sea and the southern sky.
As for the issue of the Longevity Mountain Alliance, it was temporarily moved to the side on the strategic table of Kirin's top management, and became a "future issue" that requires long-term observation but is not dealt with immediately.
First Kirin stood alone in front of the hall, looking in the direction of Longevity Mountain, with deep eyes, and whispered to himself:
"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, I hope you will take care of yourself. I hope that one day, you and I will not have to fight each other on this Primordial Land." After saying this, he turned around resolutely and devoted all his attention to the cruel game with the dragon and phoenix clans.
The pattern of Primordial Land has been fine-tuned due to the rise of the Longevity Mountain Alliance, but the fierce main line of Three Races's struggle for hegemony is still moving forward.
