Chapter 1093 Whose Side are You on?
Spirit Auspicious Pavilion.
This was the Spirit race's encampment in the Great Bliss Divine Domain and also the center of the Spirit race's power.
The Spirit Auspicious Pavilion, which was led by a group of elders, not only had to decide on the development of the Spirit race but also the election of the Spiritual Empress and Rui Emperor every hundred eras, as well as the Spirit race's Great Ruler.
Before a Chaos God appeared in the Spirit race, the Spirit Auspicious Pavilion's status was still above Spiritual Empress and Rui Emperor.
"In other words, the Great Elder, the Male Spirit race Elder, and the Female Spirit race Elder are all leaning towards Spiritual Princess Ling Si." Wang Ye said as he walked.
"Yes. That's why it's difficult for Spiritual Empress to do anything alone." Ling Shu nodded. "In addition, she's not here, so she can't negotiate with the other elders."
Wang Ye nodded.
Spirit Auspicious Pavilion's decision-making was more democratic where the minority obeyed the majority.
The current Spiritual Empress and Rui Emperor each had one vote.
The Great Elder, the Male Spirit race Elder, and the Female Spirit race Elder each had one vote.
The Great Elder was fixed, but the Male and Female Spirit race elders represented the internal opinions of the two major factions.
In general, Spirit Auspicious Pavilion had more power.
After all, the three elders had three votes in total. Even if Spiritual Empress and Rui Emperor reached an agreement, it would be useless.
Of course, Rui Emperor's current attitude was also somewhat ambiguous.
"What are you going to do?" Ling Shu blinked her big eyes and looked at Wang Ye.
"Let's get in touch first. We'll see what the Great Elder thinks," Wang Ye said. Then, we'll make a decision. He's the backbone of the Spirit Auspicious Pavilion."
"Alright." Ling Shu nodded.
If the one who returned was Spiritual Empress, she believed that Spiritual Empress would be able to persuade the elders.
However, Wang Ye...
"It should be possible." Ling Shu looked at Wang Ye's side profile and admired him.
Wang Ye's ability had long been proven in the war between the high-dimensional races.
The only difficult part was that Wang Ye was not from the Spirit race.
Having to change the minds of the three elders... It was probably not an easy task.
...
Spirit Auspicious Hall.
"You're the human Wang Ye?" The Great Elder sized up Wang Ye.
Wang Ye was also sizing him up.
The Great Elder was a Male Spirit race and had once sat on Rui Emperor's throne. After that, he abdicated bravely.
But he had a more important identity.
The Chaos God's descendant.
The Spirit race had once had a Chaos God that brought the race to its peak, but unfortunately, the other party died in the end.
"Greetings, Great Elder." Wang Ye bowed slightly.
"Have a seat." The Great Elder was very polite as he said calmly, "Ling Shu has already told me why you're here, but this is an internal matter of the Spirit race."
Wang Ye simply took out the Jade Beauty Divine Race's crystal jade. It was shiny and beautiful.
The Great Elder's eyes widened, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Swoosh! In the next instant, Wang Ye put away the crystal jade.
It was as if nothing had happened. Only the frozen atmosphere in the hall was telling the subtle moments just now.
"This is..." Great Elder asked.
"Let's continue our discussion." Wang Ye didn't explain.
Although he did not know what this crystal jade represented, he could roughly deduce it from the Great Elder's expression.
This was indeed an item of the Jade Beauty Divine Race!
"Alright." Great Elder frowned slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Wang Ye's identity filled his mind with question marks.
"What does the Great Elder think of Spiritual Empress and Spiritual Princess Ling Si?" Wang Ye changed the topic.
"The two geniuses of the Female Spirit race," The Great Elder said after some thought, "Spiritual Empress is good at planning and scheming. She is outstanding in all aspects. She has no weaknesses or shortcomings. Her future is limitless. As for Spiritual Princess Ling Si... She is the hope that the Primitive Controller has given to our Spirit race."
The Great Elder's eyes were bright. "She is blessed with talent in cultivation. She is the fastest one to break through to the Supreme and strongest expert levels in the Spirit race. Even someone as talented as Spiritual Empress can't compare to her cultivation speed. In the future, she might become the first Chaos God of the Female Spirit race.
She will become the great leader, lead the Spirit race back to the ranks of the chaos race, and climb to the top!"
Wang Ye nodded.
From the Great Elder's words, he could more or less know who he was biased towards.
A new generation was replacing the old. Spiritual Empress had fallen out of favor.
"How confident is she?" Wang Ye asked.
"Regardless of the success rate, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Spirit race," The Great Elder said. "Spiritual Princess Ling Si has such talent and fortune. The race will definitely do its best to help her."
"It's only rightfully so." Wang Ye nodded.
The Great Elder:?
Wasn't he here to persuade him?
Wang Ye smiled. "Great Elder, you've misunderstood. Spiritual Empress is not a selfish person. Besides, Ling Si is her junior. As a fellow Female Spirit race member, she should naturally help Spiritual Princess Ling Si."
"Spiritual Empress does have a sense of propriety." The Great Elder nodded in comfort.
"But..." Wang Ye paused for a moment and said, "There's no need to put all your eggs in the same basket. Now that there's an opportunity in the Glazed Death Realm, Spiritual Princess Ling Si should try her best to fight it, but if it fails, there should be a way out."
"That's not a problem," The Great Elder said with a smile. He understood what Wang Ye meant.
Wang Ye smiled and stood up. "Since that's the case, my mission is completed."
The Great Elder smiled. "Young friend, you've come a long way. Why don't you stay at the Spirit Auspicious Pavilion for a while? Let the Spirit race be the host."
"Will it be too troublesome?" Wang Ye said.
"No trouble, no trouble." The Great Elder chuckled.
"Then I'll accept your offer."

Lingxi Tower.
"You're done so quickly?" Ling Shu was startled.
"Yes. I've discussed it with the Great Elder," Wang Ye said. "We'll do our best to help Spiritual Princess Ling Si seize the opportunity and break through to the Chaos God level."
Ling Shu:???
Whose side was he on?
Wang Ye said, "Even the Male Spirit race Elder is fully in favor of helping Spiritual Princess Ling Si break through to the Chaos God level, so you should know that this is unstoppable. Instead of changing it, it's better to go with the flow."
"What's the point of your meeting the Great Elder then?" Ling Shu asked.
Wang Ye said, "It's easier said than done to grasp the opportunity. It's not easy to break through from the peak strongest expert level to the Chaos God level. Spiritual Princess Ling Si has this opportunity because of her encounter in Glazed Death Realm. What will happen if it ends?"
"She will be shackled in her current realm," Ling Shu pondered.
"Exactly." Wang Ye nodded. "At that point, the Spirit Auspicious Pavilion will stand on Spiritual Empress's side and send reinforcements."
Ling Shu was a little confused. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Wang Ye said, "The two aren't conflicting in terms of timeline. The fortuitous encounters in the Glazed Death Realm can be as short as decades or hundreds of years, or as long as tens of thousands of years. To the fight for territory in the high-dimensional cosmic, it isn't worth mentioning."
"Even if the Spirit race sends more troops now, do you think Spiritual Empress will be able to conquer territories and fulfill her ambitions? No, right? So it's better to retreat and form a net and wait for a good opportunity. It would be good if Spiritual Princess Ling Si could break through. Even if she can't, Spiritual Empress's plan can still be achieved. It's not a loss anyway."
Ling Shu nodded.
What Wang Ye said made sense.
"Then, are we just going to wait for the results now?" Ling Shu said after thinking for a while.
"Of course not." Wang Ye's eyes were bright. "We have to take the initiative. We will cooperate with Spiritual Princess Ling Si and help her!"
Ling Shu:?
"Why are you so narrow-minded, Ling Shu?" Wang Ye said seriously. "We're all members of the Spirit race, especially the Female Spirit race, so we should be united and help each other. If Spiritual Princess Ling Si is good, then the Female Spirit race will be good. If the Female Spirit race is good, then Spiritual Empress will be good. Everyone will be good!"
Ling Shu nodded in confusion.
She understood the logic, but when did he become a member of the Female Spirit race?
...
It felt comfortable!
Wang Ye stood on the top floor of Lingxi Tower and looked down at the beautiful scenery of Spirit Auspicious Pavilion.
Everything seemed small from above.
As expected of a pavilion used by the Spirit race to entertain distinguished guests. It was luxurious and classy.
"You really plan to help the Spirit race?" Saber King Ancient stood behind him.
"Why not?" Wang Ye smiled.
"This isn't like you." Saber King Ancient said.
Wang Ye turned around and said, "Brother Ancient, you know me well. The Spirit race is the Spirit race, and humans are humans. I naturally have my reasons for helping them. Ultimately, we're still using each other."
"Then why are you doing this?" Saber King Ancient asked.
"Brother Ancient," Wang Ye asked, "Why did we come to the Primitive Cosmic Sea?"
"To find an opportunity to break the deadlock and save the Primordial Star." Saber King Ancient's eyes were sharp.
Wang Ye's lips curled up. "So, isn't this a good opportunity?"
"You mean Spiritual Princess Ling Si?" Saber King Ancient said.
"To be precise, it's the Glazed Death Realm." Wang Ye said, "The Glazed Death Realm is currently one of the most popular innate chaos realms in the area of the Great Bliss Divine Domain. The appearance of a great opportunity has attracted experts of various races to fight for it. They have gone there one after another. Do you still remember the Golden-Winged Divine Race Supreme we killed?"
Saber King Ancient nodded.
"He was severely injured in the Glazed Death Realm and risked his life to escape. The experts of the divine races and the chaos races are fighting for opportunities in the Glazed Death Realm," Wang Ye said. "They're fighting so fiercely that they don't have a care about anything else."
"Normally, with our current ability and background, let alone fighting for opportunities, we might not even be able to enter. If we go to the Glazed Death Realm, we might die before we even reach the place. But now, isn't the opportunity here?"
"Spiritual Princess Ling Si has already come into contact with some opportunities in the Glazed Death Realm, even if it's just a small opportunity. If we can follow the Spirit race and sneak in, not only will we be able to skip many steps, but we will also be able to get to the core secret! Moreover, even if the sky falls, it will hit the Spirit race first. We will have more opportunities."
"Of course," Wang Ye said with a smile. "I don't expect to snatch the opportunities from the strongest experts of the divine races and the chaos races. But even if we only get a share, it's enough for us to benefit a lot. Even if we fail, getting to know a future Chaos God will bring us no harm."
"Are you so sure that Spiritual Princess Ling Si can become a Chaos God?" asked Saber King Ancient.
Wang Ye said, "Even if she can't become a Chaos God, she's still one of the most outstanding geniuses of the Female Spirit race. She's the strongest competitor of Spiritual Empress. Helping her is equivalent to suppressing Spiritual Empress. It's only beneficial to us humans."
"But we don't belong to the Spirit race," said Saber King Ancient." They won't let us participate, right?"
Wang Ye leaned against the railing and opened his arms. "Brother Ancient, don't you see where we are now? The Lingxi Pavilion is where the Spirit race receives distinguished guests. If the Great Elder didn't think much of us, why would he let us come here? We are not ordinary humans."
