463 Discussion At The Tiandu Division (Part 2)
All of the clan leaders present were rather puzzled by the Tiandu division chief’s sudden statement.
What was he going on about?
Then, amidst everyone’s doubts, the chief of the Tiandu division said seriously, “As far as the current situation is concerned, although not a single moon has come crashing down in the vicinity of our Tiandu division’s territory, we can’t rule out the possibility that it will happen.”
“When that happens, we’ll definitely be caught in an endless war, just like what happened in the other Tiandu divisions.”
“As such, I have to ask everyone here to establish a basic rule between us. Even if we fight each other, please refrain from exterminating the other party’s race entirely.”
“Such behavior is very unbecoming, and when our descendants look back at this period of history, at the very least we would have retained some semblance of sanity amidst the madness.”
When the chief of the Tiandu division said this, the clan leaders all nodded. They understood what he was trying to get at.
It was understandable for everyone to fight. This was the reality of the situation, after all.
However, for the victors to completely exterminate the losers down to their last survivor was meaningless, cruel and evil.
“I agree with this.”
“I also agree with this.”
Everyone present expressed their approval one after another.
“Although we might not be able to avoid fighting each other, allowing everyone to have a path of survival is the next best option.”
“At the very least, this is the lesson that we should learn from the tragedies that have already taken place at the other Tiandu divisions.”
The Tiandu division chief listened to everyone’s opinions, but there was a hint of bitterness in his expression.
Who would have thought that things would develop to this stage?
Who would have thought that the Tiandu division would ever have to openly talk about this issue?
This had been the unspoken rule over countless years, and everyone knew that. However, the emergence of the fallen moons had thrown everything into chaos.
Now, people discarded civilization for greed. Restraints no longer existed.
Realizing this, one of the clan leaders realized that this was just a verbal agreement. Furthermore, it would not stop the chaos.
Then he weakly raised his palm. “I have something I want to add.”
The other clan leaders looked at him.
“If there is anything else to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide it at this time.”
Under the gazes of the Tiandu division chief and the other clan leaders, he stood up and said, “We should sign an agreement that states what we should do in the event that a moon falls in the territory of our Tiandu division.”
“All of us will share the Heavenly Dao, and not fight with each other over it. Won’t that do?”
Just as the others were about to mock him, the clan leader continued, “I feel that as civilized people, we should have a certain level of self-control. We’ve already seen the tragedies that took place elsewhere, so if we have the chance to prevent this from happening, why don’t we?”
“Will this agreement really become a piece of scrap paper in times of war? I don’t believe it. I’m more willing to believe in the integrity of everyone here, and the civilizations we have cultivated and nurtured.”
It was obvious that this clan leader was extremely serious about it.
As such, the other clan leaders that had planned to mock him fell silent.
‘That’s right, why can’t they be like what he said?’
The chief of the Tiandu division said, “Okay, come on, everyone. Let’s sign this agreement. I believe that we will be able to go through with this.”
Then…
In just 10 minutes, everyone in the room had signed their names on a piece of paper, which was then hung on the wall of the Tiandu division’s meeting hall.
They looked at it somewhat bitterly. Perhaps this was for the best.
Perhaps there was no need to fight.
“You’ve woken us up.”
“We should have done this long ago.”
Everyone started expressing affirming words.
“There’s no need to fight and kill.”
“This is good.”
Soon after, just as a sense of unity filled the room, everyone trembled.
A moon came crashing down.
