Chapter 2115: Chapter 2060–2061: Flexible and Adaptable, Surprising All
On the contrary, the opponent’s current situation is not good. Choosing to take action at this time is like providing coal during a snowstorm, resulting in better conditions when negotiating cooperation with the imperial court.
While others fear, I am greedy. Wu Thirty-Seven is definitely not lacking decisiveness and a spirit of adventure. Indeed, this imperial court is most dangerous, but acting now, if successful, the rewards will be even more substantial.
Rather than seeking stable but lukewarm rewards, it is better to risk it all in hopes of a substantial return. Even if failure comes in the future, it doesn’t matter, he accepts it.
Of course, the reason Wu Thirty-Seven dares to do this, besides the risk accompanied by great rewards, is also due to confidence in his own strength and seeing the indispensable existence of the imperial court.
The imperial court is located to the north of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, firmly blocking its path of northern expansion. This is both a risk and an opportunity. If a result is achieved here, it can severely curb the development of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
By that time, if the imperial court demonstrates enough value, Wu Thirty-Seven believes that the many strong figures of the Witch Deity Teaching behind him will definitely not turn a blind eye and will be willing to invest more resources and support. At that time, it will be his time to reap the rewards.
Thus, upon receiving the signal from the jade talisman for help from the Emperor of the imperial court, Wu Thirty-Seven appeared immediately, for he was not far from here, waiting for the signal for help from the opponent.
“The Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s foundation is substantial, even though the Duke Dingguo leaves with people, it still cannot be underestimated lightly.”
When setting out on the expedition, the Emperor of the imperial court was very confident, thinking this was an excellent opportunity with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s northern region emptied, as most troops were taken away by the Duke. Without his obstruction, reclaiming the northern border was a matter of course.
In reality, Wu Thirty-Seven was far from having the confidence of the opponent, because their Witch Deity Teaching knew more about their adversary, knowing that even now, unexpected events could very well happen.
Of course, he only briefly mentioned the situation, not truly caring much, one reason being in the self-satisfied state of the Emperor of the imperial court, the proud opponent would not believe this, instead thinking Wu Thirty-Seven was fearmongering.
Another point is that if the imperial court proceeds smoothly in conquest, expanding continuously, even if the cooperation can continue, the previous terms would no longer hold.
Instead, the opponent must hit a wall, encounter difficulties, to highlight their importance, to make the Emperor of the imperial court recognize the facts, humbly cooperate with them.
Wu Thirty-Seven was always waiting, waiting for the Emperor of the imperial court to hit a wall, waiting for his own opportunity to act. This was how he demonstrated his strength, let the Emperor see the gap between them, and established his authority to ensure better cooperation in the future.
So upon receiving the jade talisman message, he appeared immediately. Even if he slightly mocked the Emperor, Wu Thirty-Seven’s actions showed no hesitation, decisively taking action.
“Taoist Friend Wu, I agree to all your conditions, and in the future, I will follow your command.” The Emperor of the imperial court said solemnly, as though he had made a difficult decision.
The thought of surrender fills the mind, and the world expands in an instant.
After the Emperor uttered these words, the mental pressure was not as unbearable as anticipated in his heart.
He instantly understood many things, realizing that to truly rise in this world, unless he was powerful enough himself, relying on a strong power for protection was necessary.
The trend of the world is unstoppable; those who follow prosper, those against perish. This is something no one can prevent, at least not their imperial court.
Why does the Great Ming Divine Dynasty conquer all fearlessly? Is it not because they have the support of a Taoist Monarch like the Jade Emperor, wielding the Jade Emperor Lineage’s formidable foundation?
Is the imperial court truly fearful of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty? Not really, it’s the many powerful figures of the Jade Emperor Lineage they truly fear. The reason they don’t dare fight is the fear of the opponent having a chance to comeback while they do not.
Now that collaborating with the Witch Deity Teaching means listening to their command, being under their control, it also suggests they and the imperial court finally have a backer, a dependence, gaining the qualification to truly rival the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
Indeed, with the support of a top immortal sect, they obtain the qualification to stand against the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. Previously, no matter how boastful or confident the imperial court was, it was not deemed a match for the Divine Dynasty, a recognized fact not just by the imperial court, but by forces and experts alike.
From beginning to end, the Emperor of the imperial court never resisted cooperation with the Witch Deity Teaching nor refused them, his only concern was the terms of their cooperation, this was the point of contention.
The Emperor of the imperial court knew that without top immortal sect support, even if they miraculously rose the imperial court to Divine Dynasty status through their own means, it would be hard to make any significant moves in the upcoming catastrophe.
Before the catastrophe began, a Divine Dynasty with a True Immortal-ranking expert could stand alongside some immortal sects, dominating one area.
But with the catastrophe’s arrival, immortal sects began utilizing resources to cultivate more strong figures. True Immortals emerged like mushrooms after rain, even several Taoist Monarchs appeared, let alone True Immortals.
In such circumstances, True Immortals lost their former grandeur, or even after ascending to a Divine Dynasty, still couldn’t control their fate, remaining adrift in the catastrophe, possibly perishing within it.
With the catastrophe coming, no one is exempt, even Quasi-Taoist Strong figures at the True Immortal Sixth Layer Heaven need to choose sides, much less people like them.
Frankly, at this time, top immortal sects need to expand influence, carrying their own schemes, thus they accept ordinary forces like the imperial court.
In the past, they would never lower their gaze to such a force lacking even a True Immortal Strong. An average True Immortal wasn’t qualified.
Being used isn’t feared. In this era of catastrophe, being used is a benefit, at least proving your value and use, ensuring you’re not discarded.
The Emperor of the imperial court understands that during the coming catastrophe, countless once-powerful forces will vanish into obscurity without a trace.
He does not wish for this. He doesn’t want the dynasty he meticulously managed to fall. He wants to ascend further, to greater heights.
So, having agreed to the terms, he decided no more hesitation, surrendering completely, possibly gaining more benefits.
“Hmm? Your Majesty…” Wu Thirty-Seven was taken aback, even as a veteran strong figure unafraid of storms, he was surprised by such decisiveness from the Emperor of the imperial court.
He had seen many flexible strong figures, and he himself was such, but the Emperor’s decisiveness, his lowered stance post-agreement, was new to him.
“Indeed, I underestimated the world’s strong figures,” Wu Thirty-Seven thought inwardly.
He also mused whether strong figures practicing the Emperor’s Path are all capable of such flexibility.
