The first reason is for future development, while the second is to win over a powerful ally. The strength of the Taoist Divine Palace is extraordinary, and Chen Yuan has a rightful cause.
He is currently the most suitable candidate.
"Lord Chen has done a favor for Shushan. According to reason, we should indeed fully support him. However, Shushan has a legacy of a thousand years. A single misstep could lead to utter ruin, burying our millennium-old foundation. I am indeed somewhat hesitant."
"Since the Daoist has spoken so frankly, I shall not hold back either. Shuzhou is the land that must belong to me, Chen. I will not let it slip away.
With Shuxi already in my hands, Shu Central is simply a fish on a chopping board. Only the land of Shu East is controlled by Shushan. If we can't form an alliance, then we can only meet each other on the battlefield in the future.
