Chapter 1277: Chapters 1224–1225: Struggle for Authority – The Scheme of Fire Virtue Star Lord_2 Chapter 1277: Chapters 1224–1225: Struggle for Authority – The Scheme of Fire Virtue Star Lord_2 When Wood Virtue Star Lord started to gather forces, the King of Great River Country had on his own subdued and recruited many martial artists during this period and sent them out to gather more information for him.
“It seems that the people of Myriad Laws Building are not fools,” remarked Pei Xuanjing with a light chuckle.
Fate Controller Star Lord nodded in agreement, “As a power that has been passed down this long, if they can't wake up to the issues within at this time, then they don't deserve to exist.”
Since Wood Virtue Star Lord issued his call, Myriad Laws Building had lost many powerful individuals. Unless they were fools, they all understood that Wood Venerate was not alone and that a force was targeting them from behind.
Now for Myriad Laws Building, the first thing was to find a way to suppress Wood Venerate and curtail the momentum against Myriad Laws Building. More importantly, they needed to figure out who was orchestrating this from behind the scenes.
Otherwise, even if they now sent people to suppress Wood Venerate, it was likely that more figures like Wood Venerate would emerge soon.
“Want to say something?” Pei Xuanjing glanced at the hesitant Fate Controller Star Lord and asked.
Fate Controller Star Lord frowned slightly, “Fire Virtue Star Lord's actions may deceive many people and forces, but for the imperial courts, they are not secret. If they pay attention, they will inevitably discover the existence of Fire Virtue Star Lord. Won't this draw the attention of the imperial courts?”
If Wood Venerate's high-profile actions garnered the attention of various imperial courts, his strength meant that these courts wouldn't overly target him.
After all, in this world of martial artists, fighting with the imperial courts was continuous. Although rising powerful figures like Wood Virtue Star Lord were rare, they were not unheard of.
However, Fire Virtue Star Lord was different. Although his strength in this world had not yet recovered to the True Immortal Realm, he was undoubtedly at the peak of supreme sovereignty, and this would definitely attract the attention of the imperial courts.
If it brought out the emperors and sovereigns of this world who were at the Immortal Path Realm, could Fire Virtue Star Lord handle it?
Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors were the pinnacle existences in this world. Especially those ancient emperors who had lived for who knows how many years, their strength was immeasurable.
If Fire Virtue Star Lord had already recovered to the True Immortal Realm, then naturally there would be no worry. But since he had not yet reached his peak, being targeted by Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors now and suffering an incarnation loss would definitely not be good news for them.
“If we want to truly understand this world, it's unavoidable to come into contact with those Great Royalty Emperors, and Fire Virtue Star Lord is undoubtedly the most suitable figure,” said Pei Xuanjing, shaking his head. “His presence is actually a cover for Wood Virtue Star Lord, which explains why Wood Virtue Star Lord dared to stir up such a storm.”
“This world is filled with constant battles and slaughter. Many martial artists who step into the King's Peak seek to certify their path to emperorhood. In this process of certification, each King's Peak martial artist has a different method; they each seek their own path. Thus, the arrival of Fire Virtue Star Lord also logically covers our presence and provides backing for Wood Virtue Star Lord.”
The martial artists of this world at King's Peak all cultivate different profound meanings, so their methods of certification are different, but each Great Emperor and Ancient Emperor has a unique path of certification.
The authority of Fire Virtue Star Lord is the path of fire, and the fire star is also known as Mars, which also holds the authority of battle and slaughter. According to the rules of this world, rising through battles and slaughter is undoubtedly a good reason.
A supreme sovereign wants to certify his path to emperorhood, and everything he does is for paving his way. Then this reason explains everything.
“Emperor Monarch, by doing this, you are undoubtedly placing Fire Virtue Star Lord right at the center of the storm, and the risks he faces might be greater than those faced by Wood Virtue Star Lord. After all, each of those Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors is a match for the existence of True Immortals, absolutely not comparable to the likes of Myriad Laws Building,” noted Fate Controller Star Lord with a sigh.
“This is not what I require, but rather, it's Fire Virtue Star Lord's own choice. If he's unwilling, even I wouldn't force him,” said Pei Xuanjing, shaking his head dismissively as he looked toward Fate Controller.
“The authority of the Gods is everything to them, and a God who loses that authority, even if still alive, will no longer have the possibility of reaching the peak. Only by gaining more authority can one advance further on the Divine Tao,”
“Now that the Heavenly Court is newly established, although the authorities of the Gods are nominally assigned, each God has yet to fully grasp their own authority, especially those powers that overlap and are difficult to clarify. Whoever can take the first step will gain an advantage,”
Indeed, after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the Divine Positions of each deity contain different authorities, but these authorities are merely the foundation of their Divine Positions, ensuring their longevity and complete power.
However, to continue advancing towards the peak and to travel further on the path of cultivation, they need to control more authority, which will ensure that they are not surpassed by others.
Just like when the Honored God Houtu and the Witch Deity Teaching invited Pei Xuanjing to help them open up the Nether Yin Department, it was also an act of competing for authority.
As with the Fire Virtue Star Lord, who now seeks to consolidate the Authority of Slaughter, such authority is among the top in the many powers of the Gods, and controlling it would be a leap forward for any deity.
But such powerful authority is certainly not controlled by a single deity; it often belongs to no one or overlaps with many deities' areas of influence.
Just like Great Emperor Wei Zi of the North Pole and True Martial Emperor Qingxu, who were enfeoffed with his position, as well as Great White Plane, and other Star Lords like Seven Kills, Broken Army, and Greedy Wolf.
The Authority of Slaughter is so vast that the more powerful the authority, the more deities it involves, the more competitors there are, and the more challenging it is to control.
If it were in the Great Ming World, other Gods would surely prevent and suppress Fire Virtue Star Lord's attempt to seize the Authority of Slaughter, as this pertains to a contest of paths.
Even with Pei Xuanjing and others suppressing from above and the Heavenly Rules of the Heavenly Court restraining, these Gods would not face each other in life-and-death confrontations, but the struggle for this authority would inevitably lead to intense conflicts.
Therefore, for Fire Virtue Star Lord, following Pei Xuanjing to this world is undoubtedly a great opportunity.
In this world, if he can gather a part of the Authority of Slaughter for his own use, then when this world is integrated into the Heavenly Court, although the share of authority might decrease, it would undoubtedly put him ahead of other competitors.
For him, this is an exceptional opportunity.
It should be noted that in this world, only three individuals are truly qualified to compete for the Authority of Slaughter: Pei Xuanjing, the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, Fire Virtue Star Lord himself, and Great White Plane.
If Emperor Pei Xuanjing of the South Pole Eternal Life planned to consolidate the Authority of Slaughter, Fire Virtude Star Lord would never entertain such an idea, but when he directly inquired, Pei Xuanjing declined.
Therefore, in the eyes of Fire Virtue Star Lord, it naturally falls upon him. As for Great White Plane, he is hardly worth considering.
Thus, Fire Virtue Star Lord decisively chose this plan, even though it carries infinite risks, but undoubtedly also brings unimaginable rewards, for him.
Only a True Immortal can rival another True Immortal; other powerhouses simply cannot intervene.
Great White Plane, born of the immortal sect, also knows the terror of a True Immortal; he also knows that this time he is not enough to intervene, and the most important thing for him is to first step into the Immortal Path Realm.
