"Killing the chicken to warn the monkey?" Pang Hong's expression slightly shifted, lost in thought.
Yu Zhenzi said coldly, "Now that these Taoist Monarchs have stirred up so much trouble, it will inevitably draw attention back to the Divine Land World. I'm afraid those indigenous worlds might get a bit restless; letting the Purple Mansion Sect do this is not a bad choice."
In the Chaotic Void Heavens and Seas, even if the Divine Land World needs to integrate, it requires a long stretch of time, considering that even if the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan slows down, new worlds are constantly being discovered.
As for those ordinary worlds, they don't matter much, but some powerful second-rate worlds, even if the Divine Land World has managed them for years, still have strong individuals who outwardly comply but inwardly defy, merely pretending to go along, not truly accepting Heavenly Court's rule in their hearts.
The powerful individuals within the Divine Land World actually understand the attitude of these indigenous experts but have not immediately taken action to eliminate them.
Besides claiming to maintain alliance and prevent the Divine Land World's approach from appearing too cruel, ultimately, their focus is solely on interests.
The primary objective of the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan is to acquire more resources and creations to elevate the Divine Land World, seizing resources for many cultivators to seek opportunity.
As long as these indigenous strong individuals do not obstruct their acquisition of resources, even a degree of superficial compliance in certain situations can be tolerated, as they have ample time to erode all these, since the advantage is on their side.
Moreover, these second-rate worlds have True Immortals present. In case of a truly relentless conflict, not only would many powerful individuals need to be dispatched from the Divine Land World, but if those individuals choose to destroy a realm completely, it would be a loss to the Divine Land World.
An essential point is that ownership of every newly discovered world within the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan belongs to the discoverers for a certain period, although a portion of the benefits must be submitted for distribution by the Heavenly Court.
For these discoverers, although they cannot fully suppress these indigenous experts, as long as it does not affect their own interests, they naturally do not wish to engage in a life-and-death struggle.
Conversely, if they were to suppress all these strong individuals, they would lack sufficient power, needing support from the Heavenly Court's strong individuals or other immortal sects, and undoubtedly would have to pay a considerable price, which is not a worthwhile practice.
This has resulted in many already discovered worlds now; though they interact with the Divine Land World, the latter can continuously extract resources from those worlds.
However, this connection is based on the peaceful era of the Chaotic Void, with those indigenous experts lacking the power to resist the Heavenly Court.
But with the shifting situation to come, now all powerful individuals and immortal sects are plotting to break the current balance, aiming to gain more benefits.
Especially many newly ascended Taoist Monarchs, their primary objective is to break the monopoly of authority held by veteran Taoist Monarchs over the Divine Land World, implying that the Divine Land World will inevitably become the center of conflict.
The focus of numerous Taoist Monarchs and various immortal sects converges on the Divine Land World, leading to a likely laxity in overseeing other worlds, reducing the stability of various powers, allowing some indigenous experts to nurture unnecessary ambitions.
This is precisely the case with the current Dragon Saliva Realm incident. Admittedly, there is the orchestration of Taoist Monarchs behind it, as well as the intrigue and manipulation of some Divine Land World experts.
However, upon reflection, if these indigenous beings did not originally harbor such thoughts and ambitions, provoking them wouldn't be as easy, nor would it cause such a commotion.
So, this time the actions commanded by the Purple Mansion True Monarch, although appearing cruel and ruthless, seem to have a self-serving intent of leveraging the situation for personal gain, yet it is also an act of killing the chicken to warn the monkey. It can intimidate some indigenous strong individuals to maintain stability, preventing even greater chaos.
"I remember that you were with the Huairou Sect before," Pang Hong chuckled lightly, saying.
Yu Zhenzi dismissively replied, "Huairou is established on the premise that our interests remain unharmed. If the entire Realms of Heavenly Seas fall into chaos, it is by no means a good situation for our Shenxiao Sect."
He indeed belongs to the Huairou Sect, but it doesn't mean indulging without limits; everything is founded on safeguarding the Shenxiao Sect's interests.
The Shenxiao Sect, with its vast business across the entire Chaotic Void, stands to face significant impact if turmoil arises, which he cannot tolerate.
Moreover, being someone who has advanced the Shenxiao Sect's development to its present state alongside Pang Hong, Yu Zhenzi's conciliatory stance is merely superficial; he is unhesitant about decisive action when necessary, choosing conciliation as the most effective method.
"Indeed, using this to intimidate those with ambition, advising them against making trouble now, also saves a lot of effort," Pang Hong nodded, acknowledging the purpose.
However, he thought for a moment and continued, "But since you've mentioned it here, we still need to prepare for some scenarios. After all, truly ambitious individuals will not be deterred by this; instead, they will perceive us as bluffing, inevitably stirring up waves."
A strategy like killing the chicken to warn the monkey, although effective, can only frighten a small part of the undecided; truly ambitious strong individuals will see this and, unless overwhelmed by sheer power, will be undeterred, convinced we are only bluffing.
