"Zhenjun Zifu, he underestimated the other party." Emperor Ziwei said with a sneer.
After reporting on the things that happened in the Ambergris Realm, Emperor Ziwei found that he had changed his place. Although the method of the Zifu Zhenjun was cruel, it was also the best choice. .
"Indeed, it is not easy to take sides. But once the fate is decided, he will act decisively without any hesitation." The Jade Emperor also said with emotion with a bit of surprise and admiration on his face.
This Zifu Sect is just a newly rising large-scale immortal sect in the world. Compared with the aggressiveness of other top-level immortal sects and large-scale immortal sects, this Zifu Sect is usually very low-key.
Compared with the indifference of some other large-scale immortal sects towards the Jade Emperor, and their willingness to listen to his orders but not to announce them, the Zifu Sect's approach is much softer, even for many of the Jade Emperor's orders. Even if Ling You is dissatisfied, he will not violate it directly, so even if the Jade Emperor doesn't pay much attention to the Zifu Sect, he will not deliberately target him.
This time someone is going to cause trouble in the ambergris world. Although the Jade Emperor is not involved in the matter, the Jade Emperor is very aware of this and has acquiesced in the matter.
Even though he didn’t have much dislike for such a low-key large-scale immortal sect like Zifu Sect before, in the current situation, all parties are trying to recruit people, and he also wants to take this opportunity to try To win over various forces, the Zifu Sect is one of them.
You must know that in addition to the control of the Ambergris Realm in the hands of the Zifu Sect, the other part is in the hands of the Heavenly Court.
If it was said that it was not the Jade Emperor who had the final say in heaven in the past, he only had a name, but now he and Emperor Ziwei are fighting against the two Tao Lords, but they have really expressed themselves sound.
This time something happened in the world of Ambergris. The Jade Emperor could justifiably intervene in it. The Zifu Sect could also take this opportunity to show favor to the Jade Emperor, even if he did not directly side with the Jade Emperor. But he also had the opportunity to swing a little, and no one could blame him.
However, the development of the matter was completely different from what the Jade Emperor expected. Under such circumstances, the Zifu Sect did not inform the Heavenly Court at all, and directly suppressed it with the force of thunder, as if to draw a clear line with the Heavenly Court.
The Jade Emperor did not believe that the Purple Mansion True Monarch was so smart that he would not fail to see such an opportunity, but the other party did not care about this opportunity. He was really surprised by such a decisive choice of camp.
"Does this mean that we are not optimistic about winning?" The Jade Emperor said in a faint tone with a sparkle in his eyes.
According to his thoughts, even if he showed his strength this time, he would be defeated, but it would also make all parties realize his strength, and he could definitely use this to recruit a group of people.
Even though these people recruited have different purposes and various ambitions, the Jade Emperor is confident that he can integrate and digest these forces.
And the most important thing is that as long as you can recruit people, it will prove that your first appearance is successful, make your voice heard, and let other parties realize that you are qualified to stand at the top.
"I think this is a character, very similar to you, the Jade Emperor." Emperor Ziwei said calmly.
Although it seems that the True Monarch of Zi Mansion has chosen to move closer to the top immortal sect instead of moving closer to the Heavenly Court represented by the two Royal Lords, he is somewhat disdainful of them.
But Emperor Ziwei was not dissatisfied with this, because he felt that this was a matter of course.
It was right not to be optimistic about them, but it was strange that they suddenly came closer.
Those veteran true kings have dominated the chaotic void of the Chinese world for countless years, and they have left an almost invincible impression on the true immortals in this sea of heavens.
Even if new Tao Lords appeared, none of them could succeed in the challenge and had to condescend. Some of the new Tao Lords did not even have the courage to challenge.
The alliance of new Dao Lords resisted many old Dao Lords. This alliance has existed for so long and has never done anything major. This undoubtedly further established the power of those old Dao Lords.
Even though the two of them were extremely dissatisfied with these veteran Dao Lords and believed that they had harmed their own interests, it was only after they were promoted to Dao Lords that they really chose to break up and began to make a clear distinction between the chariots and horses and those who Confrontation between veteran Taoist masters.
Even if their interests had not been eroded too deeply, and the style of those veteran Taoists was too domineering and unwilling to leave them the slightest possibility of compromise, they might not be able to make up their minds to fight with those veteran Taoists. Is Daojun going to fall out?
This is true for them all, let alone others?
Especially for True Lord Zifu who has experienced the Conferred God War and has truly seen the invincible power of those old Tao Lords. In their eyes, there is no doubt that the old Tao Lords are better than themselves and others. Much.
If they have nothing to do with those top immortal sects and veteran Taoist monarchs, or if there are disputes over interests, they have no choice but to follow the Jade Emperor and the new Taoist monarchs to let go. Give it a try.
But Zhenjun Zifu is different. Their Zifu Sect controls a strategic world like Ambergris World that is rich in ambergris. They themselves are not lacking in interests, and even the influence of troubled times on them is completely detrimental. greater than profit.
Originally, people were able to steadily rely on the resources of the Ambergris Realm to continue to develop and grow. Even if there is a day in the future when there will be conflicts of interest with those veteran Tao Lords, at least it is still far away. You must know that Zi Mansion What about the Taoist Lord who has not yet attained the True Lord?
On the contrary, these royal lords and new Dao Lords are now standing up to cause the situation in the world to change, completely harming the interests of Zifu Sect and Zifu Zhenjun. It's strange that the other party doesn't hate themselves and others.
So whether from a rational or emotional point of view, they are actually more inclined to the old Taoist masters. As long as those top immortal sects promise not to touch the interests of the Ambergris Realm, they are naturally willing to stand by the old Taoist masters. Jun Yifang would not choose to get close to the Jade Emperor and the others.
"Yes, we people have no choice but to make a desperate choice. If it were not forced by the situation, we would not break up at this time." The Jade Emperor also understood clearly, thought about it carefully and said: "Get closer now. In the final analysis, these people of ours are not vested interests.”
In a different place, he made similar choices from the standpoint of the Zifu Sect.
Actually, I am not like this. This is not the first day I became the puppet emperor. But why was I indifferent to this in those years, but now I am starting to break up, and I am breaking up.
In addition to being a Taoist himself and thinking that his strength is sufficient, it is also because of interests.
In the past, even though it was restricted and the authority could not be truly implemented, the heaven development plan brought huge benefits, and the benefits gained from the position I stood in were completely beyond. At that time, turning over the table was not worth the gain. On the contrary, the Tianting development plan has now entered a bottleneck period, and the benefits that can be obtained are constantly decreasing, so it is natural to find other ways to obtain benefits.
"Innovation requires hard work. If you can live well, no one is willing to work hard." Emperor Ziwei said coldly.
According to some people, many people long for their current position, but only by actually sitting in this position can they know how uncomfortable it is to sit in this position.
He was born in Tianji Pavilion. At first, Tianji Daojun supported him to sit in this position, but he also brought huge rewards to Tianji Pavilion by virtue of his position.
But when he really sits in this position, naturally there will be people who will continue to get closer to him, and gradually an interest group with himself as the core will be formed. At this time, he also needs to give himself Those under your command bring enough benefits, otherwise why would others follow you and live and die for you?
If you blindly transfer your profits to Tianji Pavilion, then the Star Gods under your command will inevitably become distracted and start to change their sects, and then your position in Heaven will not be maintained.
It is true that no one can challenge the position of Yuzun with the strength of Daojun, but Daojun is not omnipotent, and it is impossible for Daojun to do everything by himself, and he also needs someone to drive him. Someone comes to take care of your worries.
With the loss of the support of many star gods, any of his orders or ideas will be unable to be implemented. He will become a puppet in the entire heaven and become a simple machine for selfless dedication to Tianji Pavilion.
If it was a time when his strength was insufficient, he could not change the situation and could only accept everything silently.
But when your strength continues to increase and you have the power to stand at the top, how can you be willing to do this?
In the final analysis, any strong person standing in this world sea relies on himself. If he relies blindly on Tianji Pavilion, then he is a rootless duck. One day when Tianji Pavilion abandons him, he will have no resistance. ability.
As for whether this day will come, if the ancestor of Tianji really values him, then why was he not the one who took over the Tianji Pavilion, but was sent to heaven by himself? This is seemingly brilliant. Status, after all, is not a kind of assignment, but also a kind of abandonment.
Emperor Ziwei's eyes swept over the Jade Emperor. From a certain level, he still admired the Jade Emperor. The other person's mind has always been very determined, or he has always been very clear-headed. What your goal is has never changed.
The Jade Emperor's rise from humble beginnings also relied on the blessing of Taoist Changsheng, but he never really relied on Taoist Changsheng. Everything he did seemed a bit ungrateful, but the other party's pursuit of independence never ceased. It can be said that it is truly unswerving.
It is not that Emperor Ziwei has never seen a powerful genius rise from humble beginnings, but there is no doubt that the Jade Emperor is the most perseverant person he has ever seen.
I am sitting in the position of Emperor Ziwei. Although I am subject to certain constraints, I am definitely not as good as the Jade Emperor. I am definitely in a better situation than the Jade Emperor. However, even so, I have only endured this for a long time. In comparison, I don’t know how much the difference is.
The Jade Emperor watched Emperor Ziwei's expression change. He didn't know what the other person was thinking of, but he didn't delve into it, let alone know that the other person was thinking about his own experience.
In the final analysis, the two sides are just allies, and they are just a little closer than the allies between the newly promoted Dao Lords.
He knew that such allies could not last forever. The path of an emperor would always be lonely, and a true emperor would not have allies walking side by side.
Waiting for the future, when their plan is realized and they truly seize control of Heaven, a new battle will inevitably begin between the two sides. Regarding the supreme position of Heaven, this is inevitable. .
But these are all matters in the future. Now that they have common interests, this can be temporarily suppressed. The Jade Emperor thought for a while and asked: "Do you want to give some response to the Zifu Sect? "Response?"
This approach of Zifu Sect seems to be justified, but it depends on who it is against. From the perspective of Heavenly Court, if they want to intervene, it is absolutely fine.
Emperor Ziwei shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "We did not instigate this matter in the Ambergris World, so why take action at this time. The two of us have expressed sincerity to them not long ago, and now it is time to It’s them who showed their sincerity.”
Although there is a reason to intervene, the current Emperor Ziwei does not want to interfere in the affairs of the Ambergris Realm. Even if Zhenjun Zifu's choice this time is to lose their face, he still chooses to wait and see what happens.
It is right to join forces with these new Dao Lords to pursue the same goal, but there still needs to be a distinction between priorities, and we must do something to prove our worth and prove our are qualified as allies.
After the two of them obtained the supreme magical power, they each immediately chose an opponent and challenged the veteran Taoist master. Even though they lost, they expressed their attitude and received a letter of nomination. Expressed his attitude to the new Dao Lords.
But how much power these new Dao Lords have now and how much trouble they can stir up still needs to be proven.
This matter in the Ambergris Realm was caused by the new Dao Lords. Now that the True Lord Zifu has responded, they also need to give some response. If they can't even do this, If so, then he will have to consider cooperating with these people, or re-evaluate the priorities of cooperation between the two parties.
"That's right. Now that we've made it clear, if they continue to hide and hide, it would be unreasonable." The Jade Emperor smiled, acknowledging this.
Cooperation is based on equality. If these new Dao Lords only have this ability, then it is better to let them lead these people.
The alliance between the Jade Emperor and these new Dao Lords has never been a simple matter of sincere unity. This is impossible even if you think about it. After all, they were brought together because of their interests.
Not to mention whether this matter is successful in the end, even if it is successful in the end, how to distribute the benefits still needs to be discussed. If you can seize the initiative in advance, it will definitely be an advantage. (End of this chapter)
