Chapter 892: Chapter 144: Alliance of Town Sea
Time rewound to two days earlier.
At the End of the World Platform, Wei Xun directly excavated the deepest connections of the Sea Beasts that guarded the sect, using great divine skills to reveal what was hidden, allowing those on the platform to see the terrifying eyes of the Sea Clan, while also recognizing the crisis lurking in the near future.
The entity Wei Xun referred to as "Ten Thousand Eyes" was indeed fearsome.
The Sea Clan was certainly a powerful adversary, but deep down, the majority of human cultivators did not believe the Sea Clan still had the potential to counterattack the present world. Human cultivators felt a sense of superiority over the Sea Clan.
In the Middle Ancient Era, the Human Emperor drove away the Dragon Emperor, and as time passed, history might well repeat itself. The path of cultivation develops day by day. What the ancients could achieve, so can the modern people.
Over the countless years, the greatest crisis in the Sea Border region was merely due to the sudden collapse of Yang Country, which unified the Eastern Region; a mass redeployment of the Sea Border Garrison left the defense lines empty, giving the Sea Clan an opportunity.
Even then, there was no need for the intervention of a dominant national power; just the spontaneous support of human cultivators was enough. Three thousand two hundred volunteered for the sea in a single day, driving the Sea Clan back to the Lost World and establishing the Today’s situation in the Near Sea Archipelago.
The Sea Clan should not be underestimated, but the human race was even more the master of heaven and earth.
The word "Human" alone was enough to support mountains, stem raging waves, and stand tall between heaven and earth.
Yet now, it seemed the Sea Clan had fundamentally innovated their cultivation, or perhaps they had achieved a leapfrog enhancement. In this instance, humans seemed to have fallen behind.
Guard Commander Yang Feng immediately said, "This matter is of great importance, I must return to Yang Valley immediately to consult with the leader for a decision."
Qi Xiao was not as rushed, but he also spoke, "You mentioned this Ten Thousand Eyes, if it indeed supports the Sea Clan’s ascent, it is indeed a huge threat to our race and must be killed! I must report back to the court and come up with a strategy as soon as possible."
"No rush," Wei Xun urged them to hold off with a gesture of his hand. "The stormy seas of the Cang Sea are adverse, and our powerful cultivators struggle to adapt. Hidden deep in the sea, Ten Thousand Eyes has a tremendous influence on the Sea Clan. If we are to kill it, we must first significantly weaken the Sea Clan. This is not an achievement that can be rushed. If we act hastily, we might instead be encumbered by it."
Yang Feng and Qi Xiao realized that the issue raised by Wei Xun was not a simple one, and a true monarch of his caliber, who could be considered the backbone of the human race, would surely have his own countermeasures.
Such countermeasures would undoubtedly stand on solid ground in the grand scheme, but specifically for Yang Valley and Jueming Island, they might not bode well. Consequently, they tacitly wanted to extricate themselves as quickly as possible, preferring higher-leveled powerful beings to engage with Wei Xun, thus sparing their own forces any disadvantage. True men dealing with a true monarch lacked sufficient confidence.
But Wei Xun, having suddenly appeared and brought such startling news, was clearly not about to let them go easily.
"The key issue now is not anything else, but that the Sea Clan has already achieved an overall enhancement and gained an actual advantage. We need to rebuild our defenses and swiftly adjust our war strategy to respond at the fastest speed! Time waits for no one; for every moment we delay here, more warriors in the Lost World might be sacrificed."
"But given the current disarray among the Near Sea Archipelago, we can’t make a quick response, nor can we compare to the Sea Clan, all under the surveillance of Ten Thousand Eyes. Ten Thousand Eyes divides its thoughts into billions, knowing every move of the Sea Clan instantly. And us? For so many years, we’ve acted independently and even fought amongst ourselves!"
"Why, despite our strong soldiers and stalwart horses, has our progress in the Lost World been so difficult over the years, to the point that we have now given the Sea Clan a chance to rise? Just because we are fragmented!"
"We must make a change now. Otherwise, the day when the Sea Clan breaks through the Lost World and re-enters the Near Sea is just in front of us! We will all become eternal sinners of the human race!"
After a series of preparations, Wei Xun finally unveiled his grand conception, "Given the dire situation, I believe it is necessary to truly unite the power of sea dwellers, to twist everyone into a single rope, and mold into a fist! Only thus can we deliver a crushing blow to the Sea Clan! I have decided to personally lead the formation of the Seize Sea Alliance, unite the power of all sea dwellers, accumulate a mighty current, and combine our efforts to protect the Sea Border!"
Wei Xun took advantage of this grand ceremony to summon the minds of various forces to enter the arena in person, announcing the unification of all the major Sects’ forces in the Near Sea Archipelago, astonishingly without having given any hints beforehand!
Over the years, the powers within the Near Sea Archipelago had become intricately entangled. For instance, in the Diao Hai Building, there was Lu Hua, a steward of sorts. How could such a grand scheme involving the unification of all sea dwellers in the Near Sea Archipelago possibly be hidden from the other two houses?
Yet, the Diao Hai Building really did it. This almost impossible task of keeping such industry news completely watertight had come this far.
The only explanation was that the arrangement by the Diao Hai Building was conducted only among the elders and above, and perhaps only the completely trustworthy elders were privy to it. Among the disciples, probably only those like Chen Zhitao were in the know. Those forces that were about to actively join the Seize Sea Alliance might only have their Sect leaders informed, which would explain how they could deceive everyone to this extent!
Internal squabbles among a few elders, the pride of the young unaware of the extent of the sky and earth, were not worth Wei Xun’s personal intervention.
To unify the Near Sea Archipelago right from the start was truly a true monarch’s action.
Once Wei Xun succeeded, the Seize Sea Alliance, uniting all sea dweller forces, would immediately swell into a force not inferior to any powerful country in the world, even qualifying to enter the Eastern Region and contend with Qi Country!
