In the world of second-rate or third-rate powers, their lack of resistance isn't due to a lack of desire, but rather an understanding of their own limitations. Even if they were to resist, they wouldn't make much of a splash. Should they dare to rebel, the Liuli Royal Dynasty would show no mercy, and the consequences of an army at their doorstep would not be pleasant.

However, first-rate powers are different. As some of the few top-tier forces within the Liuli Royal Dynasty, they generally possess considerable strength. If the Liuli Royal Dynasty truly wanted to deal with these first-rate powers, they might push them to the brink, resulting in mutual destruction. This could potentially weaken the Liuli Royal Dynasty.

Moreover, these first-rate powers serve as a deterrent within the Liuli Royal Dynasty, symbolizing a force of the dynasty. Nangong Ji needs these first-rate powers to intimidate external enemies, preventing certain malicious individuals from acting rashly.

None of the first-rate powers have expressed any opinions, nor have they sent any replies, leaving Left Chancellor Wang Ming, who is in charge of this matter, quite displeased.
