Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Chapter 1675: Chapter 1674: Meeting

All the higher-ups became very respectful.

At the same time, they looked in the direction of the pavilion.

Sure enough.

Right above the pavilion, a figure suddenly appeared.

A young man in white, appearing ethereal. He occasionally stood upright on the pavilion.

Holding a folding fan in his hand.

This appearance was like that of an Earth person.

The difference from Earth people was that he was very tall, his ears were very pointed, his eyes were large, and his nose was also large. In other aspects, there was almost no difference from an Earth person.

If you didn’t look carefully, his genes would seem somewhat similar to Cui Wenwen of the Cui Family.

This means this person might actually have Earth’s genes.

Fang Yu withdrew his Divine Sense. However, the residual consciousness in the Elder’s body allowed him to see the entire direct environment through his eyes.

He could also hear their conversation.

"Welcome, Pavilion Master Ning."

"Welcome, Pavilion Master Ning."

Everyone greeted him.

This means that the Divine Race had sidelined all the higher-ups together and formed a meeting similar to a cabinet, and the person named Ning was the Pavilion Master.

The other members of the Divine Race took orders from him.

On the surface, Pavilion Master Ning looked very young, but Fang Yu knew well that the younger they appeared, the less they should be underestimated.

Pavilion Master Ning drifted down from above.

Came to the center of the pavilion and sat down directly.

The others also sat down in other places.

It seemed like they were very close, but between them were many rules and spatial distances, like face-to-face communication.

This means there was an invisible distance between the members of the Divine Race present, only Elder Jiang was truly in front.

"Welcome back, Elder Jiang!"

All the Divine Race members once again cupped their hands toward Elder Jiang.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

"It’s truly a joyful occasion that Elder Jiang has broken through to the Divine Great Perfection Realm. I heard you entered a Time-Space Rift earlier and then risked breaking through... Unexpectedly, you managed to achieve success against all odds."

"It was just by luck. The Divine Race must achieve success and breakthroughs by navigating through the Time-Space Rift, facing unimaginable torment and sacrificing a long life span. With good luck, breakthroughs can naturally occur, but with bad luck, one might perish immediately," said Elder Jiang.

Pavilion Master Ning put down the fan in his hand.

Raised the wine glass in front of him.

With a casual wave.

A wine glass appeared in front of all the Divine Race members present.

"Today, let’s have a toast for Elder Jiang’s return!"

The crowd took and drank their wine.

Through Elder Jiang’s senses, Fang Yu could feel that the wine was real, not made from fake ingredients.

This means.

This setup collected quite a few Earth items.

It seems he’s an old fellow infatuated with Earth culture.

"Elder Jiang, this time we invited you not only to cast a vote. Among the high-level Divine Race members present, the lowest cultivation is above the Perfection Realm. The number is as high as 20, with 10 supporting and 10 opposing. Therefore, since the vote is deadlocked, we specifically invited you back to make the decision."

Hearing about an attack on Earth.

Fang Yu felt somewhat startled.

He did not expect this meeting to be for this purpose.

It played right into his hands.

Elder Jiang just smiled and said, "Pavilion Master, you’re too kind. What right does this old man have to make decisions for all of you?"

"It’s fine; you just need to tell us whether you agree or disagree. This is also the decision we’ve reached in our meetings. No matter what decision you make, we understand and abide by the rules set by the higher-ups."

Hearing these words.

Elder Jiang looked slightly embarrassed.

He knew well.

This matter was like a hot potato. If these people couldn’t decide, how could he, a newly-returned high-level Divine Race member, make the decision? It meant that these people were having internal conflicts. To resolve it, they could only invite an outsider.

Elder Jiang pondered for a moment.

Raised his head and said, "Very well, actually I wish to vote against it."

Upon hearing this choice.

Pavilion Master Ning nodded.

Yet, the other Divine Race members present looked at Elder Jiang in surprise.

One of them, an old man with a hunched back and white, sparse hair, asked.

"Elder Jiang, I remember you were the one most eager to attack Earth, hoping to use this opportunity to enhance your cultivation, change the environment, and find the best method. Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Indeed. In the past meetings, you were the first to vote in favor. Why vote against it now?"

"The resources of our Divine Race are nearly depleted. While we higher-ups can extract resources from other spaces, the ten planets of the Divine Race are heavily populated. If we do not proceed with a change, it will be difficult to sustain. Earth is the best target, and we’ve had people investigate that Earth is experiencing a spiritual energy resurgence, with enormous potential. If we can preserve its Spirit Root, then Earth will eternally provide us with spiritual energy continuously. So, we should enter Earth as soon as possible and eliminate those Earthlings occupying the resources!"

"I agree with this viewpoint."

"I also agree with this viewpoint!"

However, just as these words were said.

Someone jumped out.

"You say you agree, but let us speak about our opposition. Though Earth’s resources are abundant, they are insufficient to support ten planets. If the Divine Race invades Earth, what will the other Divine Race members do?! If resources cannot be evenly distributed, who should have priority? Ourselves? Undoubtedly, the remaining Divine Race members will have objections!"

"That makes sense. Moreover, Earth’s human potential is immense, and I strongly oppose the idea of completely annihilating them. The rules of the universe tell us not to casually harm the spirits of all things. Humans are among the most intelligent creatures in the universe. Back before the first generation civilization, the Divine Race left seeds of civilization there. Now, the sixth generation civilization has developed into the Cultivation Era, and it’s only a matter of time before it becomes our Divine Race’s eleventh planet!"

"Yes, assimilating them completely would be better than wiping them out. Also, the power of humans isn’t particularly weak now. If we act directly, it’s inevitable that there will be many casualties. Just the energy of the Heavenly Ladder alone will consume more than half."

Upon mentioning the Heavenly Ladder.

Fang Yu’s heart was stirred.

He knew well.

These people were very knowledgeable about the Heavenly Ladder, but Elder Jiang’s mind did not retain memories about this topic. On one hand, it was because he personally didn’t care or seek the knowledge, and on the other, these people intentionally avoided it.

So Elder Jiang. Asked, "Is the energy of the Heavenly Ladder insufficient?"

"Yes, it’s still not enough. It’s already nearly fully restored. Otherwise, why haven’t we attacked Earth yet?"

"Then why don’t we use the backup Heavenly Ladder?" Elder Jiang asked.
