After Zhong and Chong left, Zhang Yu gave the matter some thought. He could understand the attitudes of those two. Resisting Origin Xia was Celestial Xia's own affair, but any other forces that could be won over should be won over whenever possible. If they could not be won over, they had to be dealt with in advance, lest they become future trouble.
The matter of the divine offspring indeed had to be considered separately. One could not decide that all divine offspring were Celestial Xia's enemies simply because some had harmed Celestial Xia's people.
If they had not taken up residence in the bodies of Celestial Xia people, and had no intention of opposing Celestial Xia, then they were not Celestial Xia's enemies.

If his deduction was correct, then whichever civilization held dominion was the one they would inhabit and assimilate into. Thus, they had never formed a body of their own.
Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi had presumably taken notice of this point as well. They wanted the divine offspring to cooperate with Celestial Xia and take up residence in Origin Xia. Yet there were still many problems involved. Those two had likely merely wished to test his attitude. If he did not agree, they would presumably raise the matter at the court deliberation.
