Chapter 2045: Chapter 1990–1991: The Biggest Loser (Part 2)
This has made it very difficult for the Fire Virtue Star Lord to maintain the momentum and power he had before to stop the Great Emperor Ziwei. Being able to preserve his authority would already be considered not bad.
Therefore, in the eyes of various parties, the Fire Virtue Star Lord has become the biggest loser in this instance, with his painstaking plans failing, and his situation in the Heavenly Court worsening.
“Obtaining the Ancestral Witch Venerable Position is enough to ensure that the Fire Virtue Star Lord is not a loser,” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, offering a completely different answer.
In many people’s eyes, the Fire Virtue Star Lord’s collaboration with the Witch Deity Teaching this time has affected his reputation, causing dissatisfaction among the gods and deteriorating his situation, thus making him a loser.
However, these people ignore one point: given the position of the Fire Virtue Star Lord himself, he is already at a moral disadvantage when facing the Great Emperor Ziwei, the Master of the Stars. Even if it seems prosperous in the short term, he will inevitably suffer setbacks, lose cities, and abandon territories in the end.
No matter whether the Fire Virtue Star Lord collaborates with the Witch Deity Teaching or not, he is destined to be unable to hold out against the Great Emperor Ziwei for long. Unless the Witch Deity Teaching is willing to help him overthrow the Great Emperor Ziwei’s Imperial Honors now, he is destined to fail.
Therefore, by cooperating with the Witch Deity Teaching at this time, obtaining the Ancestral Witch Venerable Position, he leaves himself a path of retreat. Even if he falls into a disadvantage against the Great Emperor Ziwei, he still won’t find himself in a desperate situation.
Of course, the Witch Deity Teaching also sees this clearly. Only when the Fire Virtue Star Lord finally abandons his efforts in the Heavenly Court and fully cooperates with the Witch Deity Teaching would this be what they wish to see.
On the contrary, if the Fire Virtue Star Lord is allowed to develop within the Heavenly Court, the Witch Deity Teaching would need to divide their strength to support the opposite side, curbing their own power, which is not what the Witch Deity Teaching wants to see.
Moreover, Pei Xuanjing truly holds the Ancestral Witch Venerable Position, so he knows the weight of this position. Obtaining the Zhu Rong Ancestral Witch Position would take the Fire Virtue Star Lord’s power a step further; otherwise, even if he had proven himself as a Taoist Monarch early on, he would not be able to hold his ground against the Great Emperor Ziwei.
“No matter how you look at it, this time the Jade Emperor is the winner. Not only has he obtained the Kongtong Seal, but he has also used this to resolve internal issues within the Heavenly Court. Even taking action against the Human Race Five Emperors, he can completely avoid the problem of fighting on two fronts,” Pang Hong said with a serious expression, his tone slightly solemn.
Over the years, the interactions between the Shenxiao Sect, led by him, and the Jade Emperor’s side have been numerous, with conflicts both overt and covert happening countless times, both sides roughly being aware of each other’s capabilities.
In the presence of internal constraints within the Heavenly Court, even when facing a behemoth like the Shenxiao Sect, the Jade Emperor’s people have not fallen behind, demonstrating their remarkable strength.
Now that the internal problems of the Heavenly Court have been resolved, the strength that the Jade Emperor’s side can unleash will certainly be stronger, with no concerns of fighting on two fronts, they can act against the Human Race Five Emperors without reservation.
“In this way, the situation the Human Race Five Emperors are about to face is not favorable. Though there are other Human Race Various Kings assisting, by no means do they really hold an advantage in facing the Jade Emperor’s side in the mortal realm,” Yu Zhenzi said with a slight frown.
After the Jade Emperor ascended to the position of the Emperor of Heaven, he was forced by strongmen from all sides to relinquish the position of Human Race Common Master, and most of the powerful figures of the once Great Ming Divine Dynasty ascended to the Heavenly Court to become gods, leaving only descendants to establish the Great Ming Divine Dynasty in the mortal realm.
Perhaps initially, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was strong and powerful, enough to hold a dominant position in the Divine Land World, being one of the largest forces among the human race.
But with the past millennia, as numerous worlds continuously integrated into the Divine Land World, and with the birth of some dynasties and empires, these dynasties and empires fought each other, leading to the emergence of several powerful Divine Dynasties alongside the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
Adding in ancient countries like the Da Xue Ancient Country and the Great River Ancient Country, which have also developed to the status of Divine Dynasties, the number of Divine Dynasties in the current Divine Land World is not few, with the lesser Empires and Dynasties being countless.
It can be said that the present Divine Land World is no longer a state where one force dominates, but rather a situation where The Heroes stand together in the world. On the Five Directions Continent of the Divine Land World, each continent has strong Divine Dynasty Empires, and they are the rulers of the mortal realm.
Furthermore, due to the complex intertwining of these forces, it is impossible to know who the supporters behind these forces are and which immortal sects’ wills they represent, making the situation incredibly intricate.
Even though the Jade Emperor’s represented Great Ming Royal Family only left the Great Ming Divine Dynasty lineage in the mortal realm, even the Shenxiao Sect has spokespersons in these Divine Dynasty Empires, and they do not believe the Jade Emperor, with his style, would have no backup plans.
In contrast, the Human Race Five Emperors, although they have returned to this era, their living conditions are not good, and they are greatly restricted.
This point is beyond doubt. After all, the Jade Emperor is viewed by powerful people as a massive threat, but likewise, the Human Race Five Emperors themselves are also a latent threat, one that can be compared, and cannot be ignored.
Especially as the Common Master of the Human Race Expansion Era, the Human Race Five Emperors and Various Kings lack neither reputation nor means; they only lack an opportunity and environment.
Numerous Taoist Monarchs have unimaginable apprehensions toward them, and while exploring the Realms of Heavenly Seas, they are highly guarded against them, not wanting their retreat to be cut off someday, destroying their lineage.
What the Human Race Five Emperors have accomplished is well remembered, and although many Taoist Monarchs and immortal sects don’t aim to rule over the human race, they cannot detach themselves from the human race. If the Human Race Five Emperors were to accidentally take control of the human race again and cut off the Heavenly Communication, it would indeed be a joke.
Thus Yu Zhenzi and others know that even though the Human Race Five Emperors and Various Kings quietly support spokespersons in various Divine Dynasty Empires in the mortal realm to increase their influence, they are doomed to do not much, as this is extremely limited.
“So, should we support them?” Pang Hong considered whether the power of the Shenxiao Lineage should be exerted.
To be precise, it is not that the Shenxiao Sect deliberately intended to support spokespersons in various Divine Dynasty Empires in the mortal realm, but rather a fortunate occurrence, or a natural outcome as the Shenxiao Sect continuously strengthened.
The power of the Shenxiao Lineage mainly comprises the Shenxiao Sect and the Taoist Academy branch. Over the years, as the Shenxiao Sect has grown stronger, with numerous disciples, not all disciples have the chance to acquire Longevity, and most have not even reached the Seventh Layer Heaven of the Spirit Realm to self-condense their Taoist Foundation.
Though the Shenxiao Sect is a part of the Taoist School, it does not prohibit marriage. Many Shenxiao Sect disciples, losing hope in cultivation without enough contribution to exchange for a Divine Position, place their hopes of Longevity on their descendants.
Some of them choose to leave the Shenxiao Sect’s mountain gate, with some accepting disciples to found small sects, which is one source of the numerous subsidiary sects of the Shenxiao Lineage today.
Others marry and have families to establish cultivation families, which are also subsidiary to the Shenxiao Sect.
However, sometimes the development of circumstances is not only about individual efforts but also driven by the times. Some of these families and sects strive upwards, some go with the flow, involved in imperial battles, finally standing out and taking charge of authority, merging with the Shenxiao Lineage due to their affinity.
In addition, the Taoist Academy branch, where the entrance threshold is even lower than that of the Shenxiao Sect due to their grand openness, has many members of the royal families and empires who join, eventually leaving to return to their territories, wielding authority over Dynasties and Empires.
As generations have continued, most have come from the Taoist Academy or Shenxiao Sect, and eventually, these dynasties and empires have grown powerful because of the Shenxiao Sect’s presence, naturally leaving the mark of the Shenxiao Lineage.
This is the source of the enormous influence of the Shenxiao Sect today, or, in other words, this is the inevitable radiating outcome of becoming powerful to a certain degree.
