Chapter 2036: Chapter 1982–1983: The Sequence of Events and Underlying Currents
“So many Taoist Monarchs confronting each other, if slightly mishandled, it could trigger a great war that would inevitably draw in forces from more Taoist Monarch factions, possibly precipitating an early chaos. Yet this situation cannot be easily resolved, especially with so many Taoist Monarchs involved; it’s not a matter that can be quelled by just anyone.”
“Finally, the Longevity Taoist Monarch, who had been observing this matter all along, stepped forward as the mediator to propose a solution for all parties.”
“Similar to how Emperor of Longevity intervened in the Fate Controller Star Lord’s consecration to the position of Taoist Monarch to prevent the Great Emperor Ziwei from imposing conditions, he believes that the matter of Ju Mang Ancestor Witch arbitrarily refining the Divine Position has already become a fait accompli, unchangeable. Unless Ju Mang Ancestor Witch is truly subdued, the matter can only be compromised on. Therefore, the current issue is not to hold Ju Mang Ancestor Witch accountable, but rather to fill in the gaps, leaving no loopholes. Moreover, the Witch Deity Teaching needs to offer sufficient benefits to compensate the Heavenly Court.”
“According to Lord Divine Skill Miaoji, at this moment, the Jade Emperor’s side is also in a bit of a predicament, since the opponent has already refined the Divine Position, detaching it wouldn’t be easy. Moreover, the Witch Deity Teaching would never allow their Taoist Monarch to be harmed. If the Jade Emperor’s side insists to the end, the relationship between both parties would inevitably be torn apart. But the most crucial point is that neither side is currently prepared for a real battle, so a temporary compromise is necessary.”
“The reason why many Taoist Monarchs still maintain a standoff without immediately engaging in battle is precisely because of this. Now that the Longevity Taoist Monarch is willing to stand up as a peacemaker to offer everyone a way out, rejecting it means no one can back down, leading only to war.”
“The final agreement is that since this Ju Mang Ancestor Witch illegally refined the Star Lord’s Divine Position, violating the Heavenly Rules, even if he holds the Divine Position, he temporarily cannot possess the status of Wood Virtue Star Lord or truly serve in the Heavenly Court. Additionally, he must separate an incarnation to reflect upon his actions in seclusion for 500 years as a punishment.”
“Ju Mang Ancestor Witch refined the Divine Position merely to prove his consecration as a Taoist Monarch; he has no interest in power or status within the Heavenly Court, so he agreed to these terms without hesitation. However, there is still some controversy over whether he should separate an incarnation. After all, even for a Taoist Monarch, splitting an incarnation can significantly impact their combat power.”
“But even though Ju Mang Ancestor Witch is unwilling, they are at fault here and eventually agreed. It can be said that within 500 years, Ju Mang Ancestor Witch cannot exert his true combat power. This serves as an explanation to the Heavenly Court, as even without refining the Divine Position, consecrating Ju Mang Ancestor Witch as a Taoist Monarch is a simple matter; the opponent now separating an incarnation also weakens a future opponent’s strength for the Jade Emperor’s side.”
“This is roughly the sequence of events leading to the conclusion of this war of chaos. Perhaps behind the scenes there were dealings between parties, but such matters are destined not to be put on the surface, and whether Lord Divine Skill Miaoji knows is unknown, but it’s impossible for him to tell me any more.”
Tie Qianshan recounted the sequence of events leading to the conclusion of the chaos war, with all the information coming from Lord Divine Skill Miaoji, to prevent Zhao Baiyang from being misled and developing wrongful interpretations and judgments, he didn’t mix in any of his own views and opinions.
However, although he didn’t express it, with his many years of acquaintance with Zhao Baiyang, the latter should understand his implied meaning.
Any matter heard from someone else’s retelling, without being directly involved, has already lost its authenticity and deviated slightly from the actual truth, which means this information can’t be fully trusted.
What Lord Divine Skill Miaoji narrated is only what a Taoist Monarch would perceive, but he wasn’t a true participant in it, meaning the information he obtained may be incomplete.
Especially those Taoist Monarchs in the Chaos Void, each one is deeply thoughtful and extraordinarily shrewd, containing secrets that are difficult for others to easily discern, what can be seen is merely what others want you to see.
Moreover, from Tie Qianshan’s perspective, he wouldn’t believe the matter could be this simple, even conducting a thorough review afterwards, pondering the last bits of information obtained, attempting to piece them together.
When he truly did so, he discovered that according to what Lord Divine Skill Miaoji said, the story wasn’t truly complete; numerous vital elements were missing.
But whether these missing pieces were unnoticed by Lord Divine Skill Miaoji, or whether the other party withheld them, remains unknown.
In the end, everyone now has only initially established a loose alliance, not yet to the point where some core secrets can be shared.
“Have any messages been received from Bai Xiaosheng or the Sky Mechanism Pavilion?” Zhao Baiyang pondered the sequence of events and asked Tie Qianshan.
As Tie Qianshan predicted, upon hearing the sequence, Zhao Baiyang immediately understood the missing information therein, and it’s these missing pieces that are most crucial.
For Zhao Baiyang and the Heterodox Alliance now, they’re just newly entered players into the top tier, still exploring and understanding many rules and playstyles within this tier.
