Chapter 357 The Quarrel Among the Twelve Witch Ancestors, with Different Thoughts
The decree from the Heavenly Court was promptly conveyed to the Western Continent. The entire West belonged to the land of the Witch Clan and was divided into twelve countries, with almost equal territory.
This plan is not without danger. The strength of the twelve ancestral witch tribes is different. Some of the tribes under the ancestral witches can almost be regarded as existing in name only, but now they represent the interests of a country.
There are more than hundreds of millions of people who belong to it, and there are countless fertile fields and beautiful ponds. If a windfall comes from heaven, how can it not cause dirty things?
After this incident, even though all the twelve ancestral witches were not interested in profit, the shamans under their banners were also dissatisfied, and the fights continued.
It was precisely because of the enfeoffment of the Heavenly Court to the West that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had just fallen from the Tung Pillar, and before they had time to digest their gains, they could only gather in one place to trade in the West.
In the imitated Pangu Hall, the twelve ancestral witches gathered together, each with extremely pale faces, and although their auras were cold, they were also superficial.
As the eldest brother among the twelve ancestral witches, Di Jiang was the first to speak as usual and set the tone of this discussion. He only listened to his words:
"Nowadays, the West is divided into twelve countries including the Heavenly Court. Although it is still under the control of the Wu Clan, the interests are intertwined. It is obvious that the Heavenly Court wants to alienate us."
"It is precisely because of this matter that we are summoned now. The twelve ancestral witches coexist as one body, and we cannot let the heavens do what they want. What do you think? Let's talk about it now."
"In order to avoid creating a rift in the future because of this matter and ruining the relationship between the brothers, after today, we will never talk about this matter again."
Gonggong was the first to be unable to hold himself back and spoke in a loud voice. He looked completely furious. It was obvious that this partition had caused him a lot of losses.
"Let me express my attitude first. Among the various tribes that originally existed in the tribe, the development of my Gonggong Department was not very good, and the land area was a bit larger."
"As a result, the Heavenly Court made a random decision this time and sealed off all the few good plots of land. If it were divided according to the current division, it would be better to just cancel the Ministry of Public Works!"
"Also, the Heavenly Court actually divided more than half of the entire Gonggong Department into the boundaries of the Western Ten Thousand Clans. Now those places are only verbally owned by the Wu Clan, and we can't get through. How can I govern this!"
"Anyway, if it's based on the division of heaven, I definitely don't agree. According to their noisy method, the efforts of the several hundred yuan association of the Ministry of Public Works are basically in vain."
"I only have one request, not to mention the territory of all the tribes in the west. At least I want to ensure that my original land remains unchanged, right?"
Zhu Rong also looked ugly. After all, there was still a part of the land that Gonggong could control. His entire Zhu Rong tribe was directly divided into the territory of all the tribes in the west.
The tribesmen in that place couldn't live with it. What the situation was like and how much the annual output was were all a mystery. How could he accept it?
If the races in those places had some faith, they might be able to give them something to deal with at the end of each Yuan meeting.
But if you have a wild mind, Zhu Rong is sure that you will still have a clear conscience if you don't come to him for resources, let alone just give him things.
Zhu Rong had already thought of the reasons for them. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, plague and thalassemia, none of them could kill him!
Therefore, after Gonggong finished speaking, Zhu Rong immediately echoed:
"That's what I mean too. If we follow the divisions of heaven, the Zhu Rong Department won't even have a place to live, and all the hard work in the past has become a joke."
"In my opinion, it's better to just keep the situation as it was in the past for the Wu clan for the time being. As for the other half of the western continent, after the copper pillars are pulled out, everyone can use their own methods."
"As for the brothers who are entrusted by the Heavenly Court, we cannot fall into the Heavenly Court's scheme and do things that will hurt our relatives and please our enemies."
As soon as Zhu Rong's words came out, the faces of Sishe Bishi and others suddenly turned ugly. They didn't care much about the tribe, and they didn't have any land in the past.
Such as windfalls coming from the sky, the benefits within reach almost made them drool with greed, but Zhu Rong's real appearance, standing firmly on the righteousness, made them unable to get angry at all.
After Xuan Ming hesitated for a while, he also spoke:
"Brother Zhu Rong is right. We, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, are brothers. How could we be trapped by such an obvious alienation plan from the Heavenly Court?"
"I definitely support Brother Zhu Rong regarding this matter. Besides, I spent a lot of effort running the tribe in the past, but now it's all in vain because of a word from Heaven. Isn't it a joke?"
Ancestor Wu Tianwu immediately noticed the ambiguity in Xuan Ming's mouth, and immediately retorted:
"I don't like to hear what Sister Xuan Ming said. What do you mean by wasting all your hard work? Could it be that your people will still be wronged in our hands?"
"Aren't we all working hard for the development and growth of the Wu Clan? It's just that the division of labor was different in the past. When we faced the various tribes in the West and the Immortal Court, didn't we just stand by and watch?"
"It's all to make Father God's descendants stronger and become the masters of the ancient world. Why are you the only ones spending all your efforts?"
Xiz also seized the opportunity to echo:
"Yes, what Brother Tian Wu said makes sense. The Wu clan has grown and developed with everyone's efforts. How can we separate you and me when we break bones and connect tendons?"
"And they are all from the Witch Clan, so why should they be so clearly distinguished? Isn't it enough as long as the Witch Clan is strong?"
"What's more, heaven only divides the country. Does it force people from one tribe to live in that country?"
"Just like the witches of the Xuanming tribe in the past, living in the territory of the Houtu tribe, does that mean they no longer belong to the Xuanming tribe?"
"Now it is even simpler and clearer. Although they are in other countries, the marks of their own tribes will not disappear with them."
"Even if he lives in the country of Brother Dijiang, he is still a member of the Xuanming tribe. Why should we divide it so clearly?"
Gonggong was furious when he heard this. Most of his territories in the past were divided to Xizi, but he heard such shameless words from the other party. He immediately said angrily:
"You sound good. If it is really as you said, then why do you still establish a country? Anyway, we are all members of the witch tribe. What difference does it make whose country it is!"
"Those lands were won by the tribesmen in the tribe with real swords and guns. You took them away with just one sentence. Why didn't you have such a thick skin in the past!"
Xizi was also anxious when he heard this, and immediately retorted :
"What do you mean I can take it away with just one word? Although it belongs to my country, their land is still there, isn't it?"
"As long as they don't move away, can I still grab it? You're talking as if I'm greedy for their land!"
Gonggong sneered:
"Isn't it?"
Seeing Gonggong being so ruthless, Xizi's face turned cold, and he also sneered in return. While opening his mouth to mock, he also brought up the old accounts, and only heard him say:
"I'm not as shameless as you. I don't know who it was that couldn't hold back and took over the Houtu tribe as soon as Houtu sister was restricted in the heaven!"
"That speed is really chilling. After Houtu sister returned, it's not clear that the man returned a single cent."
As soon as Xizi said this, the atmosphere in the field suddenly quieted down. Gonggong's face turned red, and Dijiang Zhu Jiuyin and others also looked bad.
Hou Tu's face turned darker, Gong Gong said angrily:
"Why, sister Hou Tu hasn't said anything yet, you want to make the decision, right?"
Xi Zi snorted coldly:
"So what? Why, you can't do it, so we can't say anything?"
Gong Gong laughed angrily, his face was ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, okay, then let's see if you have the ability!"
The atmosphere in the field was solemn, and the two were about to fight. Di Jiang stretched out his hand and slapped the table heavily, saying angrily:
"If you want to fight, get out and fight! Today I'm here to discuss things with you, not to watch you fight!"
The original text can be read in Liu # 9 x-on:shu/ba!
As he spoke, Dijiang stared at Gonggong and shouted:
"Put away your bad temper. Is it because of such a small matter? Do you want to see brothers quarreling and making people laugh?"
After scolding Gonggong, Dijiang locked his eyes on Xizi and scolded:
"You are also a bastard. Why didn't I see you speak out back then? You have the courage to stand up today, right? Dog thing, you don't care about brotherhood for a little profit, right!"
Without waiting for the two to react, Dijiang turned to Houtu and said:
"Sister Houtu, it was indeed our fault back then. As your eldest brother, I am also ashamed of you. Don't be angry first. I will make the decision later and let everyone compensate you for your previous losses."
The prestige that Dijiang had accumulated in the past still played a big role at this time. Gonggong and Xizi no longer quarreled. Although they still disliked each other, they no longer spoke.
Hou Tu's complexion also improved a lot. In response to Di Jiang's words, Hou Tu still expressed her attitude:
"There is no need for compensation. What happened in the past is over. Now that it has been so long, it is too late to talk about compensation."
"Besides, the Hou Tu tribe has developed quite well in recent Yuanhui, and it is not lacking in small things. It is better to concentrate on discussing the division of the heavenly court today."
Di Jiang's complexion looked better after hearing this. Compared with Hou Tu's magnanimity, Gong Gong and Xi Zi's actions were undoubtedly more glaring, causing Di Jiang to glare at the two again.
And Hou Tu's tolerance also eased the atmosphere in the hall a lot, at least there was no longer the feeling of confrontation before.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a lot, Qiang Liang decided to speak after hesitation. After all, he was also one of the beneficiaries of this division. He only heard him say:
"Brothers and sisters, I also know that I have taken a lot of advantage this time, but you might as well think about it. After all, this is the division of the Heavenly Court."
"Although we are willing to resist the Heavenly Court, don't we have the power at this time? Now that the Heavenly Court has just issued an order, we have made changes. Isn't it too conspicuous?"
"If you don't believe it, look at the other continents in the prehistoric world. Don't they know the Heavenly Court better than us? Isn't it also quiet and peaceful at this time?"
"Although we don't know how the Heavenly Court divides the other continents, it must be very difficult. They naturally have their reasons for not taking action. We don't need to be the first bird to stand out."
Di Jiang nodded. What Qiang Liang said made some sense, but for this powder keg at this time, it might not have much effect.
As expected, Zhu Jiuyin finally couldn't hold back. The territory controlled by Qiangliang was basically divided from his sphere of influence!
Dijiang's land had never changed, but Zhu Jiuyin was different. Seeing that Dijiang seemed to be convinced, Zhu Jiuyin quickly said:
"What Brother Qiangliang said is too absurd. The Heavenly Court has only used a little trick to turn our internal situation upside down."
"If we don't even have the courage to resist, how can we dare to say that we have the courage to resist the Heavenly Court in the future? In my opinion, we will definitely not be able to fulfill the will of the Heavenly Court!"
"If it really doesn't work, we can use the method of destroying the country in one day. It doesn't make much sense for you brothers to be the head of the country. It's better to stage a play and make a fuss among us."
"After everyone's sphere of influence returns to the starting point, how about stopping this farce? This way, it will not affect our brotherhood, okay?"
Qiangliang was speechless, and Shebishi had a different opinion on this. He said:
"What the second brother said is unreasonable. How can the Heavenly Court easily perfunctory? We are in this situation. I really can't think of any benefit except that we will attract the Heavenly Court's attention again."
"Why don't we do it according to the division of the Heavenly Court for the time being? When the war breaks out in the prehistoric world, we will do what the second brother said?"
"When the prehistoric world is in chaos, our actions will not be so conspicuous. For the Heavenly Court, it is still reasonable. What do you think about this?"
Shebishi has no intention of managing the country, but it is too extravagant to expect him to give up the fat meat in front of him easily.
Shebishi has no intention of participating too much in the discussion among the people. He just wants to make a fortune during this period and eat his fill in one go.
When he is full, whoever wants to take those lands can take them. Anyway, Shebishi doesn't care about it.
Everyone naturally noticed Shebishi's idea, and Shebishi's behavior was nothing more than cutting flesh from the ancestors whose interests were damaged.
But they could do nothing about it. Some of the ancestors who benefited from the division of heaven were not satisfied with it, but they were not willing to go further in the face of the benefits that were about to be obtained.
For a moment, except for Shebishi, the ancestors in the field felt uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly, but they could not get angry.
Dijiang looked at the people in front of him, feeling extremely irritable. His interests were not damaged much in this division, and Shebishi's suggestion was not a big deal to him.
But at this moment, Dijiang wished that he was also the party whose interests were damaged. If so, he would not have to work so hard to stay neutral.
Houtu had a complicated expression, looking at the many brothers and sisters in front of him, and she didn't know what she was thinking. (End of this chapter)
