/ The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1278 – Chapter 1278 Chapter 1226
Chapter 1278: Chapter 1226 – 1227 Authority and Laws Chapter 1278: Chapter 1226 – 1227 Authority and Laws The struggle for authority is another benefit of the Heavenly Court's expansion plan.
For the many gods of the Heavenly Court, their competition for authority within the Great Ming World, despite not involving significant life-and-death risks due to the suppression by the Heavenly Court and the presence of True Immortals, still faces obstacles.
However, in a newly discovered world without competitors, consolidating authority, though fraught with danger, could allow one to overtake others in a shortcut, avoiding many hindrances.
“What a pity, the Path of Great White Metal, if it could encompass the Authority of Slaughter, its own strength could indeed ascend to a higher level,” mused the Fate Controller Star Lord, suddenly enlightened by these matters, feeling a touch of regret for the other party.
The Path of Gengjin Slaughter, especially coming from someone of the Sword Sect, like this star of Gengjin, Great White–should they be able to assimilate the Authority of Slaughter, they might even have a chance to step into the True Immortal Realm.
Unfortunately, circumstances were against them; even if everyone had come down the same road, they each had their own competition.
This is the Heavenly Court; even though there are Heavenly Rules, competing for many things still relies on one's own strength, and the Great White Star Lord, despite any dissatisfaction, could only suppress it.
“Heh, if this Great White Star Lord is not foolish, he is not without opportunity,” Pei Xuanjing shook his head, clearly not approving of the Fate Controller Star Lord's judgment.
The Fate Controller Star Lord frowned and turned to look at Pei Xuanjing, a trace of shock appearing in his eyes, “Does the Emperor Monarch suggest that the Fire Virtue Star Lord would cede a part of the Authority of Slaughter?”
She couldn't understand how the one who had obtained the Star Lord's authority could exercise restraint under such temptation, willing to share it out.
“Although you have returned to this world, the battles between the gods and demons of ancient times are too profoundly ingrained, preventing you from fully integrating. Today's human race is not starkly divided as in the times of the ancient gods and demons. Moreover, the Authority of Slaughter is too vast for the current Fire Virtue Star Lord to control alone,” Pei Xuanjing shook his head.
Though the Fate Controller cultivates the Laws of Destiny, and is known to see through fate, her understanding of the human race is too limited, not profoundly grasping their nature, especially that of powerful beings like the Fire Virtue Star Lord.
The Authority of Slaughter is indeed vast and a broad path, but it is not something a single powerful being can fully master–at least not currently, certainly not by the Fire Virtue Star Lord alone.
If the Fire Virtue Star Lord alone were to control it, then he would become the target of many, unable to face other powerful beings ganging up against him, even if he were to become a True Immortal.
Keep in mind that the gods daring to vie for the Authority of Slaughter are either beings of the True Immortal Realm or Supreme Overlords on the brink of the Immortal Path.
Facing combined opposition from so many strong beings, he would inevitably be suppressed in the following world expansions, even possibly repressed by some established True Immortals–a natural course of events.
Don't assume that all the established True Immortals are kindhearted gentlemen; they are cooperative in front of Pei Xuanjing because he possesses enough strength to suppress everything.
Others may not understand, but the Fire Virtue Star Lord remembers that before the worlds merged, the top powers, despite their own conflicts, were in tacit agreement when it came to suppressing their second-tier forces.
Therefore, he needs to share part of it–he could well cede a small portion of authority, letting the Great White Star Lord advance and thus share the fire, also showing that he is not monopolizing it all.
After all, the Fire Virtue Star Lord is the King of the Great River Country, but the King of the Great River Country is not the Fire Virtue Star Lord; his path is broad, with many choices to make, and he is not bound to tread this hostile road.
If he were a solitary Independent Practitioner, he could act without restraint. But he is also the ruler of an ancient country–should he proceed this way, what would become of the Great River Ancient Country?
Cultivation is not just about fighting. It's also about human relationships.
The Heavenly Court is destined to be glorious; as long as it grows stronger, they are all certain to get a large enough share of the pie to be satisfied.
Eating and taking more reflects your ability, and if others are not convinced, it's a matter of their own abilities.
However, after eating and taking more, if you also try to take the whole pot, leaving nothing for others, that's truly inviting resentment.
Therefore, for the Fire Virtue Star Lord, he now merely seeks to seize the initiative, ensuring he is not the target of others, at least not until he has truly reached the pinnacle; he will definitely not aim to monopolize all Authority of Slaughter.
The Fate Controller fell silent. Indeed, this represents the difference in mindset between cultivators of the present and those ancient Innate Gods and Demons from ancient times.
Then Pei Xuanjing asked, “What about you? Will you continue to cultivate on the Path of Laws, not considering taking charge of a portion of the Authority of Destiny? With your innate affinity for the Laws of Destiny you are cultivating, if you extend out to consolidate the Authority of Destiny, the two will complement each other, certainly taking your cultivation to a higher level.”
The Fate Controller, puzzled, said, “Please enlighten me, Emperor Monarch, where lies the difference between the two paths of authority and laws, and which path should take precedence?”
Heavenly Authority and Laws of Heaven and Earth, to many, these concepts seem similar, or even interchangeable. Many powerful beings often conflate the two or note their similarities.
However, only those who have truly engaged with these two paths and begun to cultivate can appreciate their differences, which become increasingly apparent the deeper one delves into their cultivation.
