Chapter 976: 924-925 The Emperor of Heaven ruled by doing nothing
However, now that Heaven and Earth Ascension has taken place, if they can continue to carry out their plan, it indeed means that more people could achieve Longevity.
Pei Xuanjing detailed his vision and deductions to these individuals, explaining the overall plan they needed to implement next, as well as the anticipated effects they aimed to achieve in the Future.
This Godsealing Plan was far too immense; even for Pei Xuanjing, despite his considerable power, it was utterly impossible to drive it forward alone.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing needed assistants, allies—he required more people to get involved and more forces to support him in advancing this plan, otherwise, no matter how grand it was, it would be unattainable.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing resembled an entrepreneur with an excellent business plan, but without the ability to achieve it on his own; thus, he needed to find people to invest, to leverage their power to collectively fulfill this plan.
Listening to Pei Xuanjing explain his Godsealing Plan, although he had not delved into excessively detailed aspects yet, the overall structure of the plan seemed to be very complete, with a sense of high feasibility.
Of course, this was just a first impression; the matter was of great significance, so they needed to consider it with caution.
Heavenly Court, Enthroning Gods, Gods, Longevity.
These words kept circling in the minds of the Ancestor Celestial Master and the others, then linking these terms together, they revisited the plan Shenxiao True Monarch had just described, one by one.
“Then I wonder, in this future construction of the Heavenly Court, what place should Dragon Tiger Mountain have, and should we heed the commands of the future Great Ming Heavenly Court?” the Second Generation Celestial Master raised a question.
According to what Shenxiao True Monarch had said, the future Heavenly Court should be based on the present Great Ming Divine Dynasty, into which their forces like Dragon Tiger Mountain would enter after such a Heavenly Court was birthed.
Using the Gods Sealing List as the source of power for All Gods, and through the Enfeoffment, will the many forces’ Cultivators who obtain Divine Positions be subject to the Wielder of the Gods Sealing List, and will their forces become vassals of the Heavenly Court, obeying its orders?
This was an outcome the Second Generation Celestial Master did not wish to see; no one was willing to have a lord suddenly appear above them. Dragon Tiger Mountain was already an immortal sect; although they sought Longevity, they should not lose their right to autonomy and become subordinates because of this.
Not only Dragon Tiger Mountain but other forces would likely feel the same; no force wanted a Heavenly Court looming over them.
“Of course not!” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, shaking his head.
In principle, the Heavenly Court should be the most supreme, the most revered System Between Heaven and Earth, commanding the Eight Directions and all above and below.
Regrettably, whether it was the mythological Heavenly Court from Pei Xuanjing’s past life memories or the Great Ming Heavenly Court he now sought to establish, neither could achieve this.
The reason was nothing other than too many constraints!
If the Heavenly Court desired to subdue all under Heaven, to command both Heaven and Earth and the Eight Directions, it needed invincible Power to make the Eight Directions Serve.
But even if Pei Xuanjing successfully accomplishes his Plan, even if the Great Ming Divine Dynasty transforms into the Great Ming Heavenly Court with the ennoblement of All Gods through the Gods Sealing List, it still won’t be able to become the Heavenly Court that rules over all.
Pei Xuanjing knew that even if it became the Heavenly Court, it could only be a Heavenly Court in name, and should not even dream of intervening in other forces’ affairs or commanding the world.
Before the future Great Ming Heavenly Court amassed enough strength, such aspirations would provoke defiance from many immortal sect forces, and the result would either be the replacement of the Great Ming Heavenly Court or a violent conflict leading to fragmentation and disintegration.
“According to my view, the best approach is for different parties to perform their own duties, to cooperate through division of labor,” Pei Xuanjing shared his thoughts.
The so-called ‘The Holy Emperor governs with leniency,’ and then each party fulfilling their duties wielding Authority to maintain the normal functioning of everything Between Heaven and Earth is the most stable and prudent method.
After all, although he was the national teacher of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and the teacher of Zhu Houji, Pei Xuanjing himself was also the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, with the interests of the Shenxiao Sect behind him. He could not completely abandon the interests of the Shenxiao Sect to support Zhu Houji.
Especially under the circumstance that Zhu Houji’s foundational power was unable to achieve this, ensuring his own interests and maintaining the stability of the situation became the best choice for change.
The best way to align with the interests of everyone involved was for the current emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, and the Future Emperor of Heaven, to remain above all, with all Gods sharing responsibilities to uphold the operations of Heaven and Earth. That was the optimal outcome.
“In that case, very good!” the Second Generation Celestial Master expressed his approval.
Although the Ancestor Celestial Master by his side had not spoken, there was no doubt, considering the smile on his face, that he agreed with this approach.
For the Ancestor Celestial Master, these matters were not as crucial as the Second Generation Celestial Master deemed them to be; he was well aware that all of this was determined by power.
What Pei Xuanjing said now was that the Heavenly Court would not demand all parties to follow its orders and would preserve their respective independent authorities, but this was because the Heavenly Court did not have enough power to enforce all of this.
If there came a day when the power of the Heavenly Court was strong enough to subdue all parties, then the Emperor of the Heavenly Court would indeed become a true Emperor of Heaven, with his words taken as sacred edicts.
Even though the Ancestor Celestial Master foresaw this possibility, he was not concerned at all, as he did not think that he, who had become a True Immortal, would be surpassed by a junior.
Or rather, if one day the other party did reach that step, any constraints and conditions would be meaningless.
The Ancestor Celestial Master’s focus was on another matter. He asked Pei Xuanjing, “The Heavenly Court plan and the matter of Enthroning Gods are indeed beneficial for our human race, but I wonder, Taoist Friend, how do you treat the Demon Race?”
The concept of the Heavenly Court of the Human Race Common Master, Pei Xuanjing’s Godsealing Plan, was indeed excellent, and even by the Ancestor Celestial Master’s discerning eyes, no significant flaw could be identified.
But undoubtedly, there was one crucial point involved, which was the existence of the Demon Race.
If Pei Xuanjing’s devised plan could be fully pushed to success, even if not completely, but just seventy or even fifty percent of his plan was realized, it would spell disaster for the Demon Race.
Not to mention that after the Heavenly Court’s success, the Divine Positions decreed by the Gods Sealing List would be sufficient to rival the fighting power of True Immortals; even the idea of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals that Pei Xuanjing had conceived presented a problem for the Demon Race that was difficult to solve.
Based on the Gods Sealing List, countless True Spirit imprints of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals could be collected, who, even if killed in battle, could be reborn through the Gods Sealing List, becoming nearly immortal beings.
The human race and the Demon Race were mortal enemies. If the human race acquired more True Immortals and this countless army of undying Heavenly Soldiers, it would be almost certain that the human race would sound the trumpet to wipe out the Demon Race.
Would the Demon Race just sit and await its doom?
The Ancestor Celestial Master did not believe that the Demon Race would just watch idly; they would certainly react and even stop at nothing to prevent it.
“That is precisely the reason I have come to visit this time,” Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but laugh, speaking candidly.
Indeed, he was well aware that the Demon Race was the biggest obstacle to promoting the Godsealing Plan. Many powerful True Immortals of the human race, whether from the Righteous Path or the Demonic Way, could be won over as long as there were sufficient interests.
But that was not the case with the Demon Race. The Demon Race was a legacy left to the human race by the Ancient Common Master. The relationship between the human race and the Demon Race was difficult to ease unless the Demon Race was willing to serve. Otherwise, the moment the balance between the two was broken marked the beginning of a life-and-death struggle between the two races.
It was precisely because of his concern for the Demon Race that Pei Xuanjing needed to enlist more powerhouses into the plan so that he could push it forward.
Only with enough powerhouses could they face the Demon Race without fear of their assault and ensure that there were no mishaps with the plan.
