As Pan Xuan listened to everyone offer their thoughts, a wave of gratification rose in his heart.
He had originally intended only to win over the Dragon Clan and establish a system of Water God and River Lord.
But Houtu's and Di Jiang's suggestions showed him greater possibilities.
They could win over the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans together, extending the Divine Dao System from the mountains to the waters, then to the skies, forming a complete network that covered every corner of the Primordial World.
"Sister Houtu and Brother Di Jiang's suggestions are more comprehensive than my original plans."
Pan Xuan said slowly, "In that case, let us seek the support of all three clans.
"For the Mountain Gods, the Qilin Clan can fill those vacant positions. The mountain forests were their homeland to begin with.
"For the Water Gods, the Dragon Clan can hold divine offices at every level throughout the rivers, lakes, and seas. This is their old trade.
"As for the Phoenix Clan, they have a natural affinity with fire and the sky. They can serve as fire-aspected Mountain Gods, or eventually hold offices within the Divine Dao System concerning the sky, winds, and the like.
"There can also be a place for the Phoenix Clan under Brother Tianwu's wind law.
"Each clan has its strengths. With each in its proper place, the Divine Dao System can spread across land, sea, and sky simultaneously."
Tianwu nodded at this. "The Phoenix Clan excels at riding the wind. If they join the Wind God Lineage, it will indeed become stronger."
Jumang also looked thoughtful. "Although the Phoenix Clan is fire-aspected, they also possess the power of life after being reborn through fire. Perhaps there could be a place for them in the Wood God branch as well."
