The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1340: Chapter 1288–Chapter 1289 Authority Must Not Be Touched Chapter 1340: Chapter 1288–Chapter 1289 Authority Must Not Be Touched Some things, once they happen, they happen, but it’s not appropriate to publicize them widely.

Even if there are guesses among those involved, as long as it’s not exposed, it can be easily glossed over.

However, there are some things that, even if they turn from bad to good, if the reasons behind them are truly scrutinized in detail, it will also cause an ugly scene, leaving everyone disheveled.

Such was the case at hand; it was as if Fire Virtue Star Lord’s initial idea to propose inviting Star Lord Due never existed, as if he had directly invited Great White Star Lord from the start.

After all, for Star Lord Due, what did it mean to have a chance snatched away and instead given to Great White Star Lord? How could this be?

For Great White Star Lord, it was about being overlooked in the first place for someone else. Wood Virtue Star Lord needed Star Lord Due, but I was deemed irrelevant?

Everyone is a Star Lord, a Supreme Strong Overlord, beings who touch upon the Immortal Path; no one wishes to be looked down upon. Nor does anyone wish to miss an opportunity to certify their Taoist Skill.

This matter, if spread, would involve four parties and be unpleasant for everyone. Therefore, as someone privy to the affair, even if Star Lord Yi Suan knew it wouldn’t bother either the Emperor Monarch or Fire Virtue Star Lord if it got out, his character was such that he would undoubtedly not reveal a shred of it.

The few Star Lords present all appeared to have a sudden realization, now understanding the whole story: “So it turns out it was an opportunity that the Emperor Monarch secured for Star Lord Due. It makes perfect sense.”

“The Emperor Monarch is indeed impartial and just, being able to follow him is truly our fortune,” they said.

A few Star Lords then said that based on Star Lord Yi Suan’s character, how could he act in such a way? If it was an opportunity brought by the Emperor Monarch, then everything made sense.

Among these Star Lords, only Fate Controller Star Lord smiled faintly, his gaze flicking outside the hall and then glancing at Star Lord Yi Suan, thinking: As expected of someone from the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, innately astute. Just a few words had made Star Lord Due profoundly grateful to the Emperor Monarch.

Whether it was the Emperor Monarch securing the opportunity for Star Lord Due from Fire Virtue Star Lord, or Fire Virtue Star Lord offering it on his own, wasn’t important. What was vital was that these words, once spoken, greatly benefited the Emperor Monarch’s influence.

As one of the originally informed parties, seeing Star Lord Yi Suan saying nothing, she naturally wasn’t going to speak out of turn.

The gaze of the two Star Lords met, and they exchanged a smile, all understanding without words.

“However, I worry that these two troublemakers joining forces might stir up a great disturbance,” one Star Lord thought anxiously.

Both Great White Star Lord and Star Lord Due were exceedingly ruthless characters. Allowing these two to come together, they feared no one could stop them should they encounter trouble.

Either of these two, once enraged, would become murderous, likely causing widespread slaughter that no one could control.

Paired with any other Star Lords, there might be attempts at persuasion, but these two together wouldn’t be dissuading each other; instead, one would fuel the other’s fire.

The other Star Lords didn’t care about their actions, as every strong being has their own understanding, and others wouldn’t interfere as long as there was no conflict of interest.

But now, they were all ‘grasshoppers on the same rope’, working for a common goal. If these two acted on their own and affected the overall plans of the Heavenly Court, that would undeniably harm the interests of everyone involved, which is what they didn’t want to see.

“No matter, their actions won’t affect our plan. In fact, their actions might even promote it,” Star Lord Yi Suan said reassuringly, actually pleased with the situation.

The world was too peaceful; it needed these two Star Lords to cause some commotion and attract more attention.

The power of Taoist Skill was something the Great Ancient Emperors had seen, but for the many low-level Martial Artists, they had not truly experienced it.

Now, by making use of these two Star Lords to stir up more conflicts, and causing Martial Arts and Taoist Skill to clash, they aimed to establish the glory of crafting Taoist Skill through countless victories, thus attracting more to learn.

Moreover, craving for the Authority of Slaughter didn’t come from nowhere; if the world was entirely peaceful with no strife or competition, how could the Authority of Slaughter materialize?

Hearing this, the other Star Lords quickly understood. Sending Star Lord Due this time wasn’t by chance; maybe the Emperor Monarch had already planned this.

Moving past this topic, Fate Controller Star Lord brought up the next item, “As the Emperor Monarch said, inevitably, some Great Ancient Emperors will not walk the same path as us. They are destined to become sacrifices to the old era.”

Not all Great Ancient Emperors would genuinely join them and become their Taoist Friends; there was a portion that would be buried with the old era.

There was never a perfect solution. The proposal of the Taoist Academy seemed like a good option, but ultimately, it was pushed with their own perspective, not all Emperors of this world would accept it.

Authority is limited, for every strong existence.

Not just for those Great Ancient Emperors, but also for the many True Immortals of the Great Ming World and the Supreme Strong Overlords eligible for the Immortal Path.
