106: Chapter 106: Expanding the Great Love Alliance to all realms!

Gu Yan stood before the Hall of Longevity, his gaze piercing through the endless sea of clouds, looking toward the Nanming No. 73 Mortal Realm.

There, he had one of his three great External Incarnations, his good body, Fang Yuan.

Over these years, Fang Yuan had done very well in that world.

So well, in fact, that a hundred years ago, that world had already achieved a true sense of everyone being like a Dragon.

There was no bullying, no exploitation, and no scenes of high-and-mighty powerhouses wantonly humiliating the weak.

Every person could live with dignity.

Every person could eat their fill.

Every person could do what they wanted to do.

As long as they did not harm others.

The banner of the Great Love Alliance was planted in every corner of that world.

It was a true world of Great Harmony.

"So, why not let the entire Mortal Realm enter the grotto-heaven?"

Gu Yan whispered to himself, as if asking himself.

He could move that entire world inside, just like he had moved the Taiyi Dao Sect, every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, every stream, all of it.

But he did not do so.

Why?

Because there was no need.

That world was doing very well now.

Fang Yuan was there, the Great Love Alliance was there, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people were also there.

They had their own lives, their own pursuits, and their own joys and sorrows.

Forcibly moving them all into the grotto-heaven sounded like a good thing.

After all, the Spiritual Qi here was richer, the environment was more beautiful, and the Law was more complete.

But then what?

Would they get used to it?

Would they adapt?

Would they be willing?

Gu Yan shook his head.

Moreover, in that world, there was Fang Yuan.

There was the Great Love Alliance.

There were millions of people willing to struggle for the ideal of everyone being like a Dragon.

They were doing very well there.

Since that was the case, why not let them continue?

And this grotto-heaven.

Gu Yan looked back at the Hall of Longevity behind him, then looked toward the distance at the Taiyi Dao Sect Disciples who were settling in.

This grotto-heaven could become their reward.

Those who had contributed and sacrificed for that ideal could come here after retirement.

longevity pills, Cultivation Techniques, and eternal life.

This was what they deserved.

And it was also what Gu Yan could give.

...

With a thought, Gu Yan contacted Fang Yuan, who was in the Mortal Realm.

A moment later, a message crossed the Void Realm and was transmitted over:

"Great Love Alliance members, anyone who has contributed to the ideal can Ascend here after retirement."

"longevity pills and Cultivation Techniques, I will provide them all."

"As for the specific criteria, you decide."

Not long after the message was sent, Fang Yuan's reply arrived:

"Good."

It was only one word.

But Gu Yan knew that this single word "Good" represented far too much.

Of course, this matter could not be rushed.

Currently, the highest Martial Dao Cultivation Technique in that world was only at the seventh turn.

A Martial Cultivator at the seventh turn could live for at most a thousand years.

Gu Yan had actually already completed the eighth and Nine Transformations Cultivation Techniques long ago.

But he had only given them to the Taiyi Dao Sect.

In other words, the Martial Cultivators in that world, if they did not have longevity pills, would die and face Reincarnation after a thousand years.

This was not because Gu Yan was stingy.

Rather, there was a reason for it.

One reason was order.

That world had finally, with great difficulty, established a complete set of order under Fang Yuan's governance.

Everyone being like a Dragon did not mean everyone was the same.

Those who had ability and contributed more should naturally receive more.

This was fairness.

If the eighth and Nine Transformations Cultivation Techniques were spread widely, and everyone was given the chance to embark on the path of Cultivation, what would that world become?

Cultivation required resources.

Spiritual Qi, Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, Protectors, Opportunities...

Did that world have so many of these things?

No.

Cultivators needed to plunder far more things compared to Martial Artists and Mortals.

Once everyone wanted to Cultivate, the scramble for resources would begin.

Once the scramble for resources began, bullying would reappear.

Once bullying appeared, everything the Great Love Alliance had built over these years would have to start over again.

Gu Yan did not want to see that day.

The second reason was Heart-Nature.

Martial Dao Seventh Turn could live for a thousand years.

A thousand years was enough time to see a person clearly.

Were they genuinely struggling for the ideals of the Great Love Alliance, or did they just want to slack off and gain eternal life?

Were they genuinely doing things for the common people, or did they only want to seek profit for themselves?

After a thousand years, everything would be revealed.

Those who had truly contributed, Gu Yan would welcome them to come.

For those who were just muddying the waters, Gu Yan would not treat them unfairly either.

They could live out their lives peacefully in that world, enjoying the peace and prosperity brought by the Great Love Alliance.

But the grotto-heaven was not their destination.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan suddenly thought of a question.

Was it unfair to only give opportunities to contributing members and not to the ordinary commoners?

After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly, as if explaining to someone, and also as if convincing himself:

"In this world, there has never been absolute fairness."

"If we speak of birth, some are born into Cultivation families, and some are born into poor farming families; is this fair?"

"If we speak of talent, some are born with Spiritual Roots, and some are incomparably dull; is this fair?"

"If we speak of Opportunity, some walk out the door and pick up treasures, while others are trapped in mountain villages for their entire lives; is this fair?"

It was not fair.

It had never been fair.

But what Gu Yan was doing was not making everyone the same.

What he had Fang Yuan do was to give everyone an Opportunity.

In that world, every child could eat their fill, could learn to read and write, and could choose the path they wanted to walk.

Whether it was farming, doing business, practicing martial arts, or studying knowledge.

No one was born meant to be bullied.

No one was born meant to go hungry.

No one was born meant to live like a dog.

This was already the fairness that countless people dreamed of.

As for Cultivation?

That required ability, required sacrifice, and required contributing to this world.

This was not unfair.

This was... a screening.

Or rather, it was a reward.

A reward for those who had sacrificed for this ideal.

Letting those who came later see that sacrifice had its rewards.

Letting more people be willing to strive for this ideal.

This was the long-term plan.

Gu Yan's gaze was deep as he looked toward the distant sea of clouds.

If in the future, the Great Love Alliance could truly develop to the Heavens and Myriad Realms...

If in the future, there were truly countless people struggling for that ideal of everyone being like a Dragon, Great Love throughout the world, and a society of Great Harmony...

If in the future, there were truly countless people who, after sacrificing, Ascended to this grotto-heaven...

Then this grotto-heaven would no longer just be an empty celestial palace.

It would become the ultimate destination for all idealists in the Heavens and Myriad Realms.

The corners of Gu Yan's mouth curled up slightly.

This idea was a bit big.

But it was quite interesting.

Of course, Cultivation was still the top priority.

Without cultivation base, all of this would just be castles in the air.

Evil people would not listen to reason.

Powerhouses would not care what ideals you had.

If one day an Immortal Emperor came and could destroy him with a wave of their hand, then his grotto-heaven, his Great Love Alliance, and his world of Great Harmony where everyone could eat their fill, would all turn into nothingness.

Gu Yan withdrew his thoughts and turned to walk toward the Hall of Longevity.
