“Ah?

The Human Emperor?”

Li Dazhi’s eyes widened as he looked at Li Ping’an, “Then doesn’t that mean our Wanyun Sect is doomed!”

Li Ping’an waved his hand, “Don’t worry, Dad.

I mean the laissez-faire policy of His Majesty the Human Emperor towards the East Continent, not that the Human Emperor is backing the Forge-Heaven Gate.”

“You scared me there.”

Li Dazhi let out a sigh of relief indeed.

Li Ping’an spoke leisurely:

“Having observed the Eastern Alliance for half a year, I am fairly certain that it is not a court, but an army instead.”

“The court of the Human Emperor has been passed to the Southern Continent.

Sealed by the Holy Mother, the Southern Continent has been the core of the Human Race since ancient times.”

“For the people of the Southern Continent, the end of the ancient era was due to Xuanyuan the Yellow Emperor ascending to immortality, soaring to the skies with his beauty in tow.”

Li Dazhi rolled a cigarette and began to puff clouds of smoke.

He said, “This is nothing new.”

“But the problem of the East Continent stems from the lack of a complete court system in the Eastern Alliance.”

Li Ping’an said:

“The evil deeds of Demon Cultivators are despicable and contemptible.

Major sects take advantage of this to grow and profit immensely, but that’s just one of the maladies.

“In the East Continent, those who kill and plunder are thriving, while the pure and kind are like lambs to the slaughter, the weak have no support, and the mighty do as they please; this is the greatest malady.

“Big sects bullying small sects also fits this behavior.”

“The number of Loose Cultivators grows daily, and the expansion of the sects and the Immortal Dynasty has reached a tipping point.

If East Continent continues to develop like this without external interference, only one scenario will emerge.”

“What scenario?”

Li Ping’an said, “Mergers and annexations, the people will not be able to make a living, the strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak.”

“Isn’t that how it’s always been?”

Li Dazhi laughed:

“It’s merely human nature.

You and I are born into this turbid world; finding our place and going with the flow is all we can do.

“When I was young, I was just like you, full of passion and disdainful of the world.

But, Ping’an, cynicism is useless, and fervent passion will eventually cool.

“It’s already quite difficult for one to harbor kindness and refrain from evil.”

Li Ping’an closed his eyes and sighed softly, saying no more.

When it came to human nature, he definitely couldn’t win against his father, who had much richer life experiences than him.

Li Ping’an returned to the main topic:

“The support of Forge-Heaven Gate is not just a Vice Alliance Hierarch.

“Within the Eastern Alliance, it can be summarily divided into three factions, which intertwine with each other, and some high officials hold more than one role.

“The first faction is the most powerful in the Eastern Alliance, but also the one with the least presence because this faction is the Eastern Alliance itself.

We can call it the ‘Protectorate Faction.'”

“The Protectorate Faction?”

“Yes,” Li Ping’an said, “the most core quality of a general is loyalty, loyalty to the Human Race, loyalty to the Human Emperor, and that’s why the Protectorate Faction is the largest.”

He nonchalantly drew a large circle with the smoke, labeling it ‘Protectorate Faction.’

He then drew two smaller circles to the left and right, overlapping five-sixths and six-sevenths of them with the larger circle, respectively.

“This circle on the left is the faction that is friendly with the Western Sect and has gradually come under their control, roughly three or four out of ten have turned their backs on morality—this is what I heard from the lower-ranking officials of the Eastern Alliance while they chatted casually, it’s not certain, but that’s the general idea.

“The Western Sect has been trying to interfere in the affairs of the Human Race since ancient times.

“After the Hundred Clans suffered a great defeat in the Southern Continent, it was the second hierarch of the Western Sect who came forward to mediate.

The Sect Hierarch is a Semi-Holy Body, whose strength far surpasses that of the Daluo Golden Immortals, and who also possesses powerful Innate Spiritual Treasures, even Innate Supreme Treasures.

The Human Race could do nothing but give up the pursuit of the defeated Hundred Clans.

“In fact, at that time, many Golden Immortals and Heavenly Immortals of the Human Race became demons, and within a few hundred years, these righteous fighters all passed away, creating a strange balance between the Human Race and the Hundred Clans.

“After the great war, both sides competed to see who could recover their might first, and then the Eastern Alliance was established.

“Some Golden Immortals and Heavenly Immortals retired to civilian life, established sects, and began recruiting disciples, thus providing the Eastern Alliance with a continuous supply of new blood.

In this competition of military expansion, the Human Race thoroughly defeated the Hundred Clans.

“This is the significance of the Eastern Alliance and the cultivation world of the East Continent, as well as the core reason for the current prevalence of many problems.”

“Then, the Western Sect began to stir the pot again.

They tried to bypass the Human Emperor and exert greater influence on the Eastern Alliance, to control sects in the East Continent, to propagate their doctrine, and to seize more ground while the Three Teachings of the Taoist Sect refrained from external activities, fearing the Dao Immortal Tribulation.”

“As for whether the Western Sect has other schemes, I do not know, these are all the messages I could find out.”

Li Dazhi clicked his tongue, “I’ve never had a good impression of the word ‘Western.'”

“This is the ‘Western Faction’ then.”

Li Ping’an wrote the ‘Western’ label inside the left circle.

Li Dazhi wondered, “I understand that the first and second factions intersect, with some of the Eastern Alliance’s upper echelons being fiercely loyal to the Human Emperor, but at the same time they have connections to the Western Sect.

I’ve heard about this before.

So what is the third faction?”

“This is where it gets most absurd.”

Li Ping’an heaved a long sigh, writing two characters.

[Nüwa’s Palace]

Li Ping’an said, “The cult of Nüwa is the biggest problem, a force capable of constraining even three Human Emperors.”

“Is it really the Holy Mother herself?”

Li Dazhi gestured towards heaven with cupped hands.

Li Ping’an curled his lips, “The Holy Mother went out to have fun.

What’s left in the Holy Mother Palace is a group of highly skilled women who served her.

Many of them are from the Hundred Clans, some even openly hostile to our Human Race, but there’s nothing we can do—the Holy Mother Palace has existed since ancient times and many of the maids have an emotional bond with the Holy Mother.”

Li Dazhi was somewhat speechless, “That’s…”
