Chapter 169 The Choice of the Three Races
Gu Xinyan, who had gone up to the second floor, had already asked Xiaobai to set up a reception room there.
There were too many people on the first floor, so it wasn't very convenient to talk downstairs. So we decided to go up to the second floor.
Seeing the invitations extended to them by the various forces of the three races, the three of them had just discussed it briefly and decided that it would be acceptable to simply lend their names to them.
Since they didn't need to be in the office, and if anything happened, the others would come to them on their own, the three of them decided to find a sect suitable for their cultivation to join.
But what they had planned was that the three races would quarrel because of them.
Looking at the group of people arguing so fiercely, Gu Xinyan felt a little embarrassed. She tried several times to interrupt their argument, but the group of people who were already engrossed in their argument simply couldn't stop.
"Alright, if you keep arguing, then forget it. We originally just wanted to find a sect to nominally join, but since you're arguing so fiercely, let's just forget it. We won't choose any of them."
After Gu Xinyan finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave. Lu Yunting and the other three also hurriedly stood up and followed her.
This sudden turn of events caused the group, who were in the middle of a heated argument, to stop instantly. After glaring fiercely at the people next to them, they looked longingly at the group that was about to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! Young friend Gu, we were just too excited. Let's stop arguing, let's stop arguing. Quickly, let's sit down and talk it out!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll stop arguing and fighting. You can choose whichever sect you want! We absolutely won't interfere!"
"Yes, young friends Gu and Lu, look at the mess this has made! Take your time choosing, take your time choosing!"
Seeing the sudden change in everyone's attitude, Gu Xinyan and the others couldn't help but twitch their lips. The speed at which they changed their expressions was faster than flipping through a book!
"Ahem! Since the elders have stopped arguing, let's continue! Actually, there's really no need for everyone to fight over it, since you all know..."
We won't be staying in the Cangming Continent for long, probably less than two months. Once that time is up, we'll leave.
And we probably won't be back here anytime soon. At most, we'll meet again for the monthly online trading sessions and the semi-annual trading conference.
We rarely see them, and it might take us some time before we can establish a permanent store in Cangming.
We're all from the same continent, and we're all one family. Actually, it doesn't make much difference which sect we're affiliated with.
Furthermore, through our understanding over this period of time, we also know that the Heavenly Gate of the Cangming Continent was closed thousands of years ago, although we cannot guarantee anything.
However, if we are able to reach higher cultivation planes in the future, we will investigate the reason for the closure of the Heavenly Gate for Cangming. So, there's really no need for you all to argue about us! After all, we're all family!
Gu Xinyan spoke slowly, feeling rather helpless watching a group of people who were hundreds of years old arguing so heatedly.
Knowing that they value talent, if it were her, and she encountered such geniuses, she would probably argue fiercely over who is the genius, just like them.
I can understand, but being the one being fought over is still a bit uncomfortable, after all, this is the first time she's been snatched away as a genius.
She was different from Lu Yunting and the others, after all, those people were geniuses since childhood, while she was just a lowly office worker.
Although she returned to inherit the store, she was still just an ordinary working person. Unexpectedly, this working person transformed into a phoenix rising to the top. Life is truly unpredictable; she never thought she would have such a glorious day.
However, what she just said was also what she truly felt. Since she had chosen to be affiliated with them and enjoy the resources they provided, she naturally had to keep their affairs in mind.
Although they didn't say it, she actually knew that the three races fought like this in the past in order to compete for resources. After all, the closure of the Heavenly Gate meant that the passage to ascend to the upper realm was closed.
As time goes by, no one ascends to immortality, and the passage remains closed. Consequently, the spiritual energy of the Cangming Sea will gradually diminish day by day.
It's possible that one day in the future, Cangming might become the mortal realm, so they all share this concern.
Upon hearing her words, everyone present fell silent instantly, no one spoke, and their expressions were all somewhat heavy.
Yes! In order to open the Heavenly Gate, the ancestors of the clans tried to ascend to heaven one after another, but in the end, they all died and their souls were extinguished.
Deep down, they were all worried that if the Heavenly Gate could not be opened, the Cangming Continent might truly become the mortal realm.
So when they heard Gu Xinyan say that she would help them find out why the Heavenly Gate was closed, everyone was deeply moved.
They had even forgotten about arguing earlier. Yes, Boss Gu and his group didn't belong to any particular faction; they belonged to the entire Cangming Continent.
If they ever find out the reason for the Heavenly Gate's closure and a solution in the Upper Realm or other cultivation worlds, then they will be the benefactors of the entire Cangming Continent.
So, the benefactor can go to whichever faction he wants, and they won't argue about it anymore. Having figured this out, everyone calmed down, while still thinking about which martial art from their own sect would be suitable for Boss Gu and his group.
"Young friend Gu, young friend Lu, you are right. We are all family and shouldn't be arguing like this. I've been thinking about it. Your spiritual root attributes are different, and the martial arts of each of our sects are also different. Why don't you join our Three Races Alliance, Mr. Gu?"
"This means we're nominally affiliated with all the forces and sects of the three clans. So, Mr. Gu, whatever resources you need, the three clans will share the burden. How about that?"
Yuan Mingzi pondered for a moment before replying that he thought his suggestion was excellent, as it would make Boss Gu and the others belong to their three clans and the entire Cangming.
Therefore, they no longer need to fight over anything; they only need to bring over the resources required for cultivation. It's like putting all their eggs in one basket, working hard to reopen the Heavenly Gate in the future.
He completely trusted them, not only because they were extraterrestrials, but also primarily because of the prophecy made by the Void Ancestor.
The prophecy says that extraterrestrial visitors will change the entire Cangming. Although the language does not specify how many people they will be, over the past thousands of years, only a few people, including Boss Gu, have been extraterrestrial visitors.
