"I still think this is not a good idea."

Everyone looked at the person who suddenly destroyed the momentum of this assembly, and it was an Insurgent from the Origin Rune Palace.

"Our actions are based on the premise that other planes will attack or intervene in our world. But nothing has happened yet, so why the need to act?" explained Formation One.

Everyone looked at him, wondering why he would disagree with something that was obviously beneficial to the entire world. Some people speculated it was something to do with the resource discussion since it would take an extremely high amount of resources to keep these formations activated until the Heaven Will Battle.

These people's speculations were correct. Formation One knew the Origin Rune Palace was in a precarious situation. As the founder of Array Dao in the Myriad Emperor World, they had a high status and respect. Unfortunately, it did not change the fact their sect only had 2 Great Emperors.

So, regarding resource allocations, he feared being treated as one of the top Emperor Lineages with five or more Emperors.

"Your objection means nothing since the majority has agreed," announced Wang Wei.

"The Juniors in this generation seem to have massive egos," replied Formation One. Wang Wei was calm while everyone watched with intrigue, waiting for his response.

"D you want a beating?" asked Origin One with a fierce light in his eyes. "If you do, I won't hesitate to break into your sect and give you."

Formation One almost choked with anger after hearing this. He took a deep breath to calm down. "Does your Dao Opening Sect want to use its power to force people? I've made a good point, and I'm sure some people feel the same way."

"It's not about using our power," rebutted Origin One. "It's about not giving the title of [Sect Master] of our sect any respect. So, watch your words and tone."

"Fine, I admit I went out of line," admitted Formation One. "But my point is valid: nothing has yet to occur, and we might be overreacting."

"It's fine f you don't want to participate," Wang Wei interjected. "Your sect will not be included in the protection area of the formation." He then addressed everyone else.

"The same goes for all of you. If you don't want to participate, it's fine with me. As the holder of the Human Destiny Sword, I can activate the array only to protect the Dao Opening Sect when dangers arrive on our doorstep."

"That's not how the array works," rebutted Formation One. "It's connected to the luck of the human race and must protect us humans, not the Dao Opening Sect." He had lived through the rise of the Great Qin Dynasty and the creation of the array.

"I can still make the Dao Opening Sect the array's center. Furthermore, I can use my title as a Son of an Era to convince Heavenly Dao and the array that anyone who voted against this assembly is detrimental to the safety of the human race and not worth its protection."

Can the Era Son do this? No one knew for sure. A few appear throughout the world's history, but none were complete Son of Era, where Heavenly Dao gave them all destinies without any competition.

"It would be pointless for some of us not to participate. That would be counterproductive to our objectives," commented the Five Elements Palace Sect Leader. If the array did not protect some factions, the foreign threats could use them to enter the Myriad Emperor World.

"Sect Master Wang Wei, you must have considered the issue of resources allocations?" he continued asking.

"I have," replied Wang Wei before sending them a spreadsheet analyzing the resources each faction needs to pay to maintain the formation.

"The number is based on the amount of territory you occupied and the publicly available business or resource gathering spots that each of factions has."

"The number appeared a little high."

"As I said, it's only an estimate based on the resources you publicly display. If you consider the hidden ones, it's nothing much."

No faction would publicly display all its wealth and resources. And taking into account that the burden will be shared with so many people, it is not much in the grand scheme of things.
