The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1469: Chapters 1416-1417: The Loss Saddens Their Kind; The Death of the Rabbit Grieves the Fox_2 Chapter 1469: Chapters 1416-1417: The Loss Saddens Their Kind; The Death of the Rabbit Grieves the Fox_2 “However, the opponent, the enemy, who has been entangled with himself for so long, is about to fall, and their fall has nothing to do with himself, still such a downfall,” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder felt lost.

He suddenly felt that all his previous efforts seemed meaningless, after all, if the Heavenly Court could easily destroy the Ancient Sun Emperor, it also meant they could easily suppress him.

Even though he had already recognized this possibility long ago, when this scene actually happened, his feelings were still very complex, indescribable in words for a moment.

But as complex as the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder’s mindset was, the operation of all things in this world never revolved around the will of a single person. Perhaps there are such supreme beings who can achieve the Realm where their heart is aligned with the heart of the heavens, their intentions the same as the intention of the heavens, capable of guiding everything, directing the operation of the world by their strength.

But such supreme beings are the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, Profound Heaven True Monarch, Blood Fiend Ancestor–these invincible strong ones, definitely not the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder.

At least now, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, let alone dominating the grand trend of the world’s operation, could not even control everything about themselves. Under the True Immortals’ encompassing strategies, they were mere pieces, only able to go with the flow.

And going with the flow isn’t a derogatory term. After all, being able to go with the flow also means being alive, having certain opportunities. Unlike the Ancient Sun Emperor who vainly attempted to step out of the chess game, those strong faced only one outcome: destruction.

At this moment, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder’s desire for power reached its peak. He was unwilling to go on like this, this situation where life was not controlled by oneself, he definitely did not want to experience it again.

“It seems we don’t need to take action anymore.” Wood Virtue Star Lord, watching the distant great battle, slightly shook his head, his tone unexpectedly containing a hint of regret.

“Sounds like you feel a bit of pity, for not having been able to clash with that Ancient Sun Emperor?” Fire Virtue Star Lord stood with his hands behind his back, his robes rustling loudly, raising an eyebrow as he spoke.

Nobody anticipated that not far from the Sun Divine Palace, there would actually be two True Immortals, whose existence was to safeguard the Fate Controller Star Lord and others.

Even though Pei Xuanjing had let go of the matter, when the Fate Controller asked for some assistance, Fire Virtue Star Lord and Wood Virtue Star Lord did not refuse but agreed outright.

With both of them present, it was undoubtedly a safety net. Even if the Fate Controller Star Lord and the others ultimately failed, unable to suppress the Ancient Yin Emperor, they could still leave themselves a chance.

Of course, this also meant they had thoroughly lost this chance, perhaps never able to make up for it.

Wood Virtue Star Lord and Fire Virtue Star Lord kept every event that occurred inside the Sun Divine Palace in full view, without missing a single detail.

Originally, Wood Virtue Star Lord, seeing the Fate Controller Star Lord and the others nearly unable to resist the Ancient Sun Emperor’s move, was prepared to intervene but had not expected that they would actually withstand it.

Since they had already withstood the Ancient Sun Emperor’s most powerful attack, it meant that the opponent was unable to break through the two Great Formations. This had already determined the Ancient Sun Emperor’s fate, even if the Fate Controller and the others were currently at a disadvantage. However, all of this was temporary, the eventual victors would still be them.

Hearing Fire Virtue Star Lord’s mocking words, Wood Virtue Star Lord did not deny his thoughts: “Fire Virtue, it can’t compare with you, who first challenged the undefeated Emperor Tianyang as one in the Strongest Realm. Later, with the Emperor’s help, you refined this Incarnation. Not only did it allow you to slay both the Great Flame Emperor in that Strongest Realm, but it also led you to another level on the Immortal Path. Although this lord has luckily certified as a True Immortal, I’ve never truly crossed hands with a strong being of the True Immortal level, so I looked forward to this opportunity quite a bit.”

As a newly ascended True Immortal, Wood Virtue Star Lord now stood on the same level as Fire Virtue Star Lord, no matter what status the other held. Even though he came from the background of an Independent Practitioner, there were no longer any differences in status between them. This is what it meant to be a True Immortal.

Likewise, as a newly ascended True Immortal, he had yet to have a clear understanding of his own trials and tribulations, much like the many True Immortals of the human race during the Conferred God War. He urgently needed to find a suitable opponent to verify his divine powers and skills, to determine his own combat strength, and to clarify his true position within the rank of True Immortals, for Realm does not equate to combat power.

But the current situation of this world was such that the involvement of many Star Lords within the influence of the Heavenly Court would not affect the overall situation. However, once a True Immortal entered the fray, it would trigger a series of changes, with the potential for losing control. Hence, many True Immortals tacitly maintained their silence.

Even established True Immortals abided by this rule, so how could Wood Virtue Star Lord, as a novice True Immortal, contravene it? Therefore, in the situation where he temporarily could not enter the fray, he felt helpless yet could do nothing about it.

That’s why he was very much looking forward to this mission to escort and protect these Star Lords. He thought that even if he could not confront Ancient Sun Emperor, if another Ancient Emperor did indeed appear, he could still find an opponent to test his hands against, to verify his divine powers and skills, and to identify and rectify any shortcomings.

As for Fire Virtue Star Lord, who appeared completely unconcerned, that was only to be expected. As he had said, he had done everything he needed to do and experienced everything he should have experienced.

Especially on the day when the guidance channel was opened, engaging in battle against two Great Ancient Emperors, only to suppress them in the end. Fire Virtue Star Lord achieved another heroic feat after Emperor Wenchang, proving himself as a Supreme Strong contender and subduing True Immortals. Even though his incarnation was essentially a True Immortal, accomplishments do not lie, especially when faced with two Great Ancient Emperors. Such a track record was enough to establish his reputation, making him regarded as second only to Emperor Wenchang among the many newly ascended True Immortals, an elite power not to be underestimated by anyone.

“There will be plenty of opportunities; there’s no need to fixate on the immediate moments,” Fire Virtue Star Lord could only say so.

He too had come from that time and naturally could understand and comprehend Wood Virtue Star Lord’s current thoughts–the feeling of possessing great power but being unable to release it, the intense desire to clearly establish one’s place upon entering a new Realm.

All of this was personally experienced by Fire Virtue Star Lord himself, so he felt that Wood Virtue Star Lord’s thoughts were very normal and not at all wrong.

But as much as he understood and acknowledged these feelings, he must not forget the reason they had come here today. Their purpose was to escort and protect Fate Controller Star Lord and the others; they were not the main focus.

“Indeed, the fall of Ancient Sun Emperor signifies our entrance into the battlefield, and there would be no reason to further delay matters concerning this world. Therefore, according to the current situation, there will definitely be opportunities to engage with these Great Ancient Emperors,” Wood Virtue Star Lord nodded and said no more.

Indeed, Ancient Sun Emperor may not have reached the point where he could influence the major trends of heaven and earth with his own power, but it was undeniable that he was also one of the leaders of the resistance within the alliance against the integration faction. The fall of Ancient Sun Emperor was actually a symbol, a start to the breaking of the original balance, and a premonition of the Heavenly Court’s entry into the battlefield.

There might not be every Great Emperor who wishes to contest the Heavenly Court to the end, but there will definitely be Great Ancient Emperors who do. This means that when the time comes for final integration, they would necessarily have to act to suppress these resisters, to prepare for the Heavenly Court’s integration of this world.

Of course, the reason for the hurry to enter into battle from the Heavenly Court was not because of the actions of Fate Controller Star Lord and others. Although it was true that Fate Controller Star Lord and his peers were high-ranking, holding significant status within the Heavenly Court and considered as among the very top echelon under the many True Immortals,

Yet even so, they might be able to influence part of the Heavenly Court’s operation but could definitely not dictate its overall functioning, and not even necessarily any single True Immortal could do so.
