Zhou Jianlai received a message from Niu Dawa, and his eyes lit up. He felt that many of Zhang Tianci's ideas were very good, so he briefly summarized them and then talked about them one by one.
"What do you think?"
After saying that, he looked at Che Baihai and others with questioning eyes.
Che Baihai and others all frowned.
It was not easy for them to dominate a state. Since the first apocalypse, they have made great efforts and sacrifices to establish their prestige and manage their territory in an orderly manner. Seeing that the world is at peace, good days are finally ushering in. Zhou Jianlai
But asking them to allow a new overlord to emerge and share the fruits of victory with them is really hard to accept.
Although the fat meat is large, it doesn't matter if you have to divide it into small pieces, but it is still best eaten alone.
"I disagree."
Before Che Baihai and the others could speak, a green-eyed man stood up first, frowning and said, "If I can defeat everyone here, I will be the overlord of Kyushu. It's simple and clear. Why bother with the best of five games?"
Zhou Jianlai said, "The fact that you can defeat us only shows that you are personally strong, not that you are powerful. To be the overlord of Kyushu, you must not only have personal strength, but also have sufficient sect strength. Otherwise, how can you shoulder the responsibility and mission of the overlord?"
"
"Doesn't three wins in five games only mean that three people are strong? What does it have to do with the strength of the sect?" the green-eyed man argued.
"Oh, let me add one more thing. The sect has less than 100,000 people, less than 50,000 people in the star realm, and less than a hundred in the holy realm. It is not qualified to challenge the overlord force." Zhou Jianlai said.
"You——" the green-eyed man glared at Zhou Jianlai angrily.
"Isn't this deliberately trying to embarrass us?" An old woman with half-white hair slammed the table and stood up angrily, saying in a deep voice, "If we have such a strong strength, do we still need to challenge you to get the qualification? We are already the dominant force.
"
"that is."
"Grandma Tan is right."
Several other people immediately nodded in agreement.
Zhou Jianlai smiled at him and said, "You can increase your power, no matter how big it is, but if you dare to privately claim to be king and hegemony, all nine states will punish you!"
The old woman narrowed her eyes with a cold light and sneered, "It depends on whether you have the ability."
Zhou Jianlai met the old woman's gaze and said, "Don't think that just because you found a few pills, a few cultivation techniques in ancient ruins, and your cultivation level has improved a few levels, you will think that you are invincible in the world and cannot hold it down in Kyushu. No matter how strong you are, you can
Better than the way of heaven?"
The old woman snorted and sat back.
Several other people also stopped saying anything, but they all had expressions of "I don't accept it."
"Amitabha!"
"Master Zhou, what you just said about a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending is indeed very conducive to Kyushu becoming strong and prosperous. The poor monk allows Chuanzhou to add two new overlord forces and ten secondary forces."
The headmaster of Leiyin Temple spoke out.
"Senior is generous."
Zhou Jianlai raised his hands in admiration.
In fact, even if Che Baihai and others disagree, he will not be angry, let alone force them to comply. After all, the dominance of each family is indeed hard-won, and it will not be easy for anyone to give a part of the fruits of victory to others.
uncomfortable.
He will only ask everyone to go back and think about it carefully.
However, given the current situation in Kyushu, it is indeed necessary to allow more hegemonic forces to emerge, rather than implementing a big stick policy to suppress them.
The vast land, abundant cultivation resources, and excellent cultivation environment, especially the emergence of ancient techniques and ancient alchemy methods, without even thinking about it, will definitely create some amazingly talented people. If they are not given a chance to stand out,
Or a platform to display their abilities will definitely push them to the opposite side. When the resentment reaches an extreme, it will be the beginning of turmoil.
The qualification challenge of the hegemonic force can satisfy the strong desire for hegemony.
"Actually, it's not impossible."
The patriarch of the Tao Fa Sect said, "But it would be great if we could add three more."
"Mr. Su, please speak." Zhou Jianlai said.
"First, the status of our nine overlords will always be fixed, unless the sect is destroyed.
Second, the time interval between challenges is sixty years, and the first challenge is scheduled to be thirty years later. These thirty years can be regarded as a reward for our nine families to fight against the doomsday disaster.
Third, the ancient survivors are not allowed to participate in the challenge."
Su Qiufeng proposed three points.
"Yes, these three items must be added."
"If these three items are added, our Sun Moon Sect will also allow new overlord forces."
"With these three things, our Tianque Sect will allow it."
"..."
Su Qiufeng's three demands were unanimously agreed by Che Baihai and others.
"Can."
Zhou Jianlai readily agreed.
Su Qiufeng and others immediately relaxed their brows and smiled on their faces.
In fact, they all understand the current situation in Kyushu, and also understand the purpose and benefits of Zhou Jianlai's proposal to create a new overlord force. However, it is difficult for them to agree if their own interests and status cannot be guaranteed.
"Hmph, they are colluding together!"
Some people were dissatisfied.
Zhou Jian came to look at the person who spoke and said, "As a human being, you must first learn to be grateful. Since the doomsday disaster came to this day, without the huge contributions of the nine overlords, Kyushu would have been reduced to ashes by the doomsday disaster. How could there be such a prosperous age of cultivation?
, let alone the opportunity for you to sit here and talk. Now that the prosperous era has just been established, why can't the nine overlord forces collect some rewards?"
"Haha, what Master Zhou said is heart-warming." Shu Xuliang said with a smile.
"In that case, I will challenge for the hegemony in thirty years." The green-eyed man nodded and said.
But then his tone changed, he narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Che Baihai and the others, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to be the first to say something ugly. If someone deliberately suppresses me in the past thirty years, I will not be qualified to challenge the overlord."
conditions, then don’t blame me for not following the moral principles of the world.
.”
"That's easy to say." Che Baihai cupped his hands and said, "As long as you show off your talents, what will you do after thirty years? Even if you come here, our nine overlords will still be afraid of you?"
"Then it's settled." Zhou Jianlai patted the table, which was the final word.
Then he looked at the red-haired old man Tian Xiangshan and said with a salute, "I don't know that my senior is a remnant of ancient times. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."
Everyone's eyes followed Zhou Jianlai's words and looked at Tian Xiangshan. They looked at this ancient remnant curiously, and they were secretly wary in their hearts, guessing how many ancient relics had appeared in this resurgence of spiritual energy, and whether these ancient relics would attack their own forces.
, how to respond if trouble arises.
"It's really rude of you to leave me hanging here for so long." Tian Xiangshan said with an unhappy expression.
"The issues raised by the seniors are very important, so important matters should naturally be discussed last." Zhou Jianlai said.
"That's a good thing, so can you discuss an answer for me? Can I, this ancient remnant, be the lord of Kyushu?"
"Yes." Zhou Jianlai nodded.
Che Baihai and others were shocked when they heard this and looked at Zhou Jianlai in surprise.
They were very convinced and admired Zhang Xiaozu, the Lord of the Nine Provinces. Although Zhang Xiaozu's whereabouts were unknown now, Zhang Xiaozu's position in their hearts was unshakable and no one could replace him, not even the ancient remnants, unless an ancient god came.
Tian Xiangshan was also quite surprised by Zhou Jianlai's straightforward answer. He was slightly startled and asked, "Tell me, what benefits do you want?"
He thought that Zhou Jianlai wanted to use his position as the Lord of Nine Provinces to give him a hard blow.
However, Zhou Jianlai shook his head and said, "As long as you obtain the sword in my hand, the bow in Niu Guangmao's hand, the knife in Yuan Taiping's hand, the fist of King Ape, and the consent of the Lord of the Underworld, you will be the Lord of Kyushu."
.”
"Haha, that's not easy." Tian Xiangshan stroked his beard and laughed, stood up and said to Zhou Jianlai, "I'm standing here without moving. If you can force me to take half a step back, how about I lose?"
