The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Capítulo 2132: Chapter 2078–2079: Inevitable Bloodshed, Slaughter in the Void

Eating alone doesn’t taste that good, especially since none of these Dao Lords are easy to deal with. They may not have many skills to accomplish great things, but it’s quite simple for them to disrupt and overturn the tables.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing is aware of some of the schemes of other Dao Lords but can only tacitly agree, with both sides compromising with each other.

“The War of Sealing Gods is the arena for veteran Dao Lords, by no means can the newly ascended Dao Lords interfere. Veteran Dao Lords may relinquish some authority, but no one will be willing to give up control over the Gods Sealing List. Unless the newly ascended Dao Lords attach themselves to veteran Dao Lords, meddling in this is seeking your own suffering!” Pei Xuanjing thought indifferently.

This Gods Sealing List is the core of the Heavenly Court; the current Heavenly Court itself is the foundation of the Gods. The Heavenly Court is the presence representing the orthodox of heaven and earth in the Divine Continent, so this is the most crucial thing, even more important than some Heavenly Authority.

Especially those veteran Dao Lords who initially participated in the refining of the Gods Sealing List, they understand better than anyone the significance of this Gods Sealing List. This is a share in the Heavenly Court, and even with the continuing expansion of the Heavenly Court and the advancement of the Divine Continent, the allocation of these shares has been constantly shrinking, yet it remains the most valuable thing.

If their plan is successful, and the Divine Continent moves further to become a Great Thousand World, it would mean the Heavenly Court can command the realms of heavenly seas, and the value of this Gods Sealing List will multiply further.

So, even if Pei Xuanjing is in the leading role, they will not let go of the Gods Sealing List easily, and they certainly will not allow others to covet it.

This does not mean that the Heavenly Authority they hold is unimportant, but losing the Heavenly Authority gives them a chance to regain it, whereas if the Gods Sealing List is lost, it is much harder to retrieve.

Additionally, those veteran Dao Lords who participated in the refining of the Gods Sealing List are not independent practitioners; they all have their affiliations. Even strong existences like the Sword Emperor wouldn’t truly disregard their own disciples and followers.

If the authority of the Gods Sealing List is in their own hands, their disciples’ Divine Positions won’t be affected, but if they lose the authority to control the Gods Sealing List, then their disciples’ Divine Positions may be shaken; even if not, they cannot continue to act as they please and may instead become tools for others, reduced to working under others.

These newly ascended Dao Lords can participate in the planning of Divine Positions within the Gods Entronement, but gaining the initiative is not easy. None of the veteran Dao Lords, including Pei Xuanjing, will deny this, nor is there any need to deny it.

After all, without control over the Gods Sealing List, even to enshrine oneself as a god in the flesh requires fulfilling certain tasks. In the future, when the Heavenly Court commands the realms of heavenly seas, it will naturally need more divine workers to participate.

“However, ultimately they are Dao Lords, and in situations where Dao Lords have never fallen before, even if this calamity causes Dao Lords to lose, it’s merely a matter of earning less, not truly losing everything.” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself, pondering the current situation.

In fact, even though Pei Xuanjing might not fully understand the thoughts of many Dao Lords, he can still adequately guess their thoughts.

Currently, the Dao Lords are the pinnacle existences in heaven and earth. Dao Lords are undying, and there hasn’t yet been an instance of a Dao Lord falling in the current world, so unless necessary, no Dao Lord wants a Dao Lord to fall.

For Dao Lords, even if there are some path contests, in the case where no one has truly reached the peak, there’s no need for a life-and-death confrontation; they have more choices.

Under unnecessary circumstances, no one wants to break this rule. If Dao Lords could fall as easily as True Immortals, what would be the difference between Dao Lords and True Immortals, besides having stronger abilities?

Of course, the fall of a Dao Lord is different from that of a True Immortal. A True Immortal’s fall, unless a strong person intervenes to reverse time and combat the heavens, will inevitably have to go through reincarnation. The source of ths content is novel·fıre·net

But for Dao Lords, as long as the share of Dao Authority they hold hasn’t been lost, they can come back against the odds relying on the imprint they left in heaven and earth, without going through reincarnation.

If the imprint of a True Immortal strong person left in heaven and earth is an initial design of undying, then for Dao Lords, grasping the Daoist Rules Authority, it can be said they’ve truly achieved undying.

Even if suppressed and worn away, as long as the imprint within the Daoist Rules Authority exists, there will eventually come a day when they can return against the odds.

Thus Pei Xuanjing thinks the current tacit understanding among the Dao Lords doesn’t really count for much; the fact they can maintain such restraint and understanding now is simply because what they face isn’t a sizeable benefit worth their true desperation.

When the future calamity continues to evolve, involving more and more interests, with increasing sunk costs, by then it won’t be up to them to regard it so casually.

Perhaps by that time they themselves may maintain basic rationality, but the people following them, their accomplices, will continually push them forward step by step.

So these so-called agreements and understandings don’t really count for much; ultimately, they will be broken, and all does not really count for much.

Pei Xuanjing is very certain of this point.

……

The area of the sea was in a state of devastation, drops of black demon blood sprinkled across numerous Immortal Rice Divine Islands, with floating corpses everywhere. The Green King stood with a somber expression in front of the Dragon Burying Abyss, an ancient zither floated before him in the void. Terrifying streams of aura suppressed the sea and sky, causing patches of void to collapse, trapping two figures within, making it difficult for them to truly escape.
