First of all, for someone like Lin Jin, the process of reincarnation takes over twenty years. In contrast, a Spirit lacks a physical body, making the possibility of its reincarnation ten times more difficult.
Secondly, there are numerous Spirits in Huaxia. To revive them all would require an immense amount of energy and time. Moreover, where would the physical bodies for these Spirits come from?
Lastly, if all the Spirits of Huaxia were to reincarnate as humans, Huaxia would inevitably face suppression from the Demon Realm. If war were to break out, it would result in countless casualties, which would be a loss that outweighs any potential gain. Many ordinary soldiers and civilians would inevitably perish; why should they be reincarnated as humans only to diminish the strength of their nation?
However, Xu Wenchang's second point is not entirely impossible. After all, the people of Huaxia inherit their physical forms from their parents, and perhaps there are some powerful figures who need to be revived.
Thus, Grandma believes that the first possibility may not exist but does not dismiss the second possibility.
Clearly, neither of these possibilities is accepted by Xu Wenchang. He hesitates to consider what the third possibility might be.
After a moment of silence, Xu Wenchang said, "The third possibility is the Emperor—overturning five thousand years of history in Huaxia and using the strength of the entire nation to create an Emperor."
Hmm... Grandma showed a contemplative expression and after a long while asked, "In what form would this Emperor be created?"
Hearing Grandma's question was akin to her somewhat agreeing with his viewpoint, which boosted his confidence. He replied solemnly, "In Huaxia, we have always had a connection to fortune. For instance, ancient royal families possessed Dragon Qi Bloodline. Therefore, we believe that when the grand formation is activated, everyone will gain a bit of fortune. Through battles, victors will seize the fortunes of the defeated and accumulate them until they ultimately gather all fortunes to form a dragon vein and achieve the position of Emperor."
Grandma couldn't help but nod slightly, considering this possibility plausible. However, she then asked, "What form would this battle take?"
Xu Wenchang nodded and said, "It should be a struggle of mortal bodies; otherwise, with Lian Yun's current strength, no one else would have the qualification to contend with him."
Hmph...
Grandma let out a dissatisfied hum. Although she found Xu Wenchang's reasoning sound, she still felt it targeted her grandson.
After an awkward silence, Grandma said, "What Brother Xu envisions may not be entirely accurate. But what use is achieving an Emperor so early? According to Brother Xu's theory, once an Emperor is established, Huaxia will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties and its strength will sharply decline—a loss that outweighs any gain."
Xu Wenchang nodded in agreement but said nothing more. He felt that this speculation might be very close to the truth; however, because its outcome seemed genuinely disadvantageous, he had hesitated at first.
Grandma looked up and after a moment of silence said, "What if this so-called fortune is something else? For example, a level of realm."
"Once the grand formation is activated, individual strength will be greatly restricted; however, it won't affect personal cultivation. Thus, those who are defeated will lose all their realms while victors will enhance themselves using the realms of the defeated. In this way, Huaxia could potentially produce one or even several great emperors; or even if there are no great emperors, there could still be quite a number of Half Emperors."
Xu Wenchang couldn't help but brighten his eyes at this idea; he felt this possibility was greater and more aligned with reality. After all, this is an era where Spirits dominate—strength represents everything while other considerations are mere empty talk.
Moreover, this way, the strong would be willing to follow those even stronger. The weak might choose to surrender early, becoming commoners and thus saving their lives.
This can be seen as a situation where power is concentrated among a few. For instance, one person's strength can only contend with another person, but if one possesses the strength of two, they could potentially face ten.
The more Xu Wenchang thought about it, the more likely it seemed. His fatigue quickly dissipated, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then what is the purpose of the Peerless Demon Master in creating an Emperor?"
Grandma ignored him completely.
The reason she had asked such questions earlier was to prompt Xu Wenchang to reflect on his previous speculations; she had no intention of clarifying the Peerless Demon Master's objectives.
Because regardless of whether they, who were not even Half Emperors, could guess accurately, they could not stop the Peerless Demon Master's plans.
As long as the direction was clear, a little preparation would suffice.
As for who would be crowned Emperor, that was obvious in Grandma's eyes—it would undoubtedly be her grandson Lian Yun.
At the same time, Grandma had another thought: could the two and a half years that the Peerless Demon Master had given her when sending her daughter and son-in-law's remains be the timeframe for her grandson to achieve the title of Emperor?
It was important to note that if this speculation were true, then when her grandson became Emperor would coincide with his ascension as a great sovereign. If her grandson truly became a legitimate great Emperor, then several Demon Emperors in the Demon Realm would likely not engage in a relentless feud over two ghosts with her grandson!
As for whether the Peerless Demon Master or the Peerless Demon Master and the Eternal Emperor were colluding for some purpose, that was beyond what people of their level could speculate upon.
Grandma's thoughts were somewhat reasonable; however, Xu Wenchang was considering carefully.
To be honest, in terms of strength, there was indeed no one in the Land of Huaxia who could compare to Lian Yun. But what about Yin Yang City? Or among those he knew, there seemed to be individuals more suited to become Emperor than Lian Yun.
Thus, how to choose an alliance and whom to support was crucial for both the alliance and the entire Huaxia Ethnicity.
Therefore, he could not directly position Lian Yun as the candidate.
"Brother Xu, you may leave! It’s fine if we become enemies in the future," Grandma suddenly said coldly.
Clearly, Grandma understood Xu Wenchang's thoughts; she did not resent them. However, while she was willing to sacrifice for Huaxia, she would never stand on her grandson's side no matter what.
If the two individuals choose different paths, they will inevitably become enemies in the future.
While it may not lead to a life-or-death struggle, when one person is correct, the other will surely fall into the mundane world.
Xu Wenchang sighed and said, "I actually want to choose Lian Yun as well, but given his attitude towards the alliance, would he accept some of its members?"
"Some members? Heh!" Grandma chuckled lightly, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she refused to look at Xu Wenchang again.
Clearly, Xu Wenchang intended to divide the alliance, spreading its influence across multiple factions. This way, when someone eventually unified them, it would essentially signify that the alliance had reformed into a single entity.
Xu Wenchang's idea was indeed good, but it was also a kind of foolish fantasy.
One must understand that if there are no genuine loyalists, how could any faction truly rely on members of the alliance? Even if they did employ them, it would only be as cannon fodder.
If Xu Wenchang were to act in such a manner, the initial chaos could very well lead to a situation where members of the alliance would be fighting each other to the death.
Only after the alliance could no longer gain traction would the time for heroes to compete begin.
