Chapter 1281: Chapter 1228 – Chapter 1229 Advantages are also Disadvantages_2 Chapter 1281: Chapter 1228 – Chapter 1229 Advantages are also Disadvantages_2 These surviving Innate Gods and Demons embody the collective Qi Luck of their race; by joining the human race, they will become humanity's greatest support, leading to even more prosperity for mankind.
“The sea accepts all rivers, and with tolerance comes greatness.”
The strength of the human race, apart from their own resilience and pioneering spirit, also stems from their inclusive nature, which allows them to embrace all who are willing to return.
Even the defeated Demon Race, they can tolerate, so why not the former Innate Gods and Demons?
Pei Xuanjing and the others did not mind the thoughts of these Innate Gods and Demons, and even less did they believe these beings posed any risk of backfiring.
With every advantage now in the hands of the human race, should these Innate Gods and Demons fail to assimilate and instead become disloyal and disaffectionate, it would be the human race's failure, and no one else to blame.
“In fact, in this Emperor's view, although it is difficult and perilous for Innate Gods and Demons to step onto the Immortal Path since they are born in control of Laws, there are still ways to resolve this,” Pei Xuanjing, as he helped Fate Controller Star Lord to his feet with a wave of his sleeve, slowly began to speak.
The Immortal Path is one of transformation; Pei Xuanjing slowly explained to the Fate Controller Star Lord the methods he had contemplated.
Just as Pei Xuanjing was discussing the doctrines with Fate Controller Star Lord, seeking a breakthrough to certify as a True Immortal, this world too began to stir up waves of change.
If the actions of the Wood Virtue Star Lord only drew the attention of core figures from some Holy Lands of Imperial Kingdoms, then the actions of the Fire Virtue Star Lord were enough to elicit reactions from Great Royalty Emperors of this world.
The peak of the King Realm, breaking through to proclaim one's self as Sovereign or Emperor, has never been something that could be achieved in obscurity.
The process of becoming a certifying Great Royalty Emperor always causes drastic responses within the world, and those standing at the highest echelons are the first to notice.
Each certifying Great Royalty Emperor has taken a path to its limit, controlling a Law and Great Dao, or a Heavenly Authority.
If it were the True Immortal Strong of the Great Ming World, even if others follow the same path after their certification, they would have no worries, for as pioneers, they can greatly suppress those who follow.
Even better, to cultivate these followers until they grow strong, and then harvest them, turning them into resources for themselves, is the optimal choice.
The path contest allows one to plunder everything from their opponents, and even with the suppression of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, Pei Xuanjing would not interfere, as it is the choice of every strong individual.
Therefore, even if some Supreme Overlords of the Great Ming World were aware that certain paths could lead to certification as a True Immortal, they would still endure and search for unclaimed paths.
For as followers who wish to certify as True Immortals, they would either have to challenge an established True Immortal of that path immediately after certifying–a daunting challenge indeed.
After all, one has ventured far on that path, and should the challenger fail, they would become fodder for the former, dying and their path vanishing.
Of course, if they could pull off a victory against the odds, and soar past the strong, it would be like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate, from then on, the sky's the limit.
But overall, such a possibility is extremely slim.
Therefore, even if these Supreme Overlords do not give up on their own paths, given a choice, they would still seek other methods of Tao certifying, and only after successful certification would they initiate a path contest, which is the safest approach.
However, this world is different; these Great Ancient Emperors, though comparable to Immortal Path Strong, suffer from imperfections in the world, so their paths are not complete and are at risk of downfall.
This means that if successors choose the same path, at the moment of the predecessor's successful Dao certification, it's possible to direct usurp their Authority, leading to a regression in their power, or even a decline in their Realm.
There was a time when some strong individuals made such a choice: they nurtured potential successors, then reaped everything from them, using it as their own foundation to strive for higher levels.
However, those who did this often met with backlash; aside from a few exceptions, the majority ended up regressing in their Realms and turned their own gains into nourishment for their opponents, ultimately benefiting their adversaries.
Thus, the Ancient Emperors of this world never dared to breed potential successors like the strong ones from the Great Ming World did, for the fish they raised might be cannibalistic, capable of turning on them.
Now, a Supreme King had started on his path of certifying the Tao, which naturally elicited reactions from these Great Royalty Emperors.
They needed to judge what path this Supreme King was taking, whether he posed a threat to them, if he clashed with their adversaries, and whether they could use this opportunity to scheme against their foes and expand their own power.
With the Heavenly Path flawed and lacking a powerful being like the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing to suppress everything, the cultivation environment of this world was more cruel than that of the Great Ming World, with even more intense slaughter.
Every time a Supreme King underwent Tao Certifying, it triggered reactions from all sides and inevitably led to a Great Royalty Emperor taking action, eventually sparking an earth-shattering war.
Especially now, as the Fire Virtue Star Lord emerged from obscurity–an unknown and untraceable Supreme King embarking on his Tao Certifying journey–these Great Ancient Emperors were naturally unsettled.
They couldn't be sure whether this was a tactic cultivated by their adversaries to target them, nor could they confirm whether their paths overlapped theirs, leading to a path contest.
As a result, a series of probes targeting the Fire Virtue Star Lord followed. These Great Royalty Emperors started plotting around him.
“Let everything become even more intense! The current slaughters are too few; even the conquests by hundreds of Kings don't compare to the fall of a Great Royalty Emperor. If a Great Royalty Emperor were to fall, it would be enough to form the rudiments of the Authority of Slaughter,” said Fire Virtue Star Lord, not only free from worry about the reactions of these Imperial Dynasties but showing a look of anticipation on his face.
The Authority of Slaughter is a top-tier authority, with very few peers, and nurturing such a powerful authority is not simple.
It is inherently drawn by countless acts of slaughter–the more intense the slaughter it can provoke, the greater the possibility of forming the Authority of Slaughter, and the more robust it will become.
Therefore, after making his arrangements, the Fire Virtue Star Lord actively released his information to provoke the reactions of these Great Royalty Emperors.
“Star Lord, if a Great Royalty Emperor in this world were indeed to condense the Authority of Slaughter and elicit a reaction, how should we respond?” the Great White Star Lord inquired with a frown.
As Pei Xuanjing had anticipated, this Great White Star Lord, originating from the Sword Sect and capable of seizing a Divine Position, was no fool.
Even though he initially harbored resentment because the Fire Virtue Star Lord's pursuits conflicted with his own, he quickly realized that, in reality, there was no need for the other party to swallow the Authority of Slaughter whole; there was a chance for him to share it.
Upon considering this possibility, the Great White Star Lord immediately decided to follow the Fire Virtue Star Lord to share in a portion of the Authority of Slaughter.
And as he predicted, the Fire Virtue Star Lord did not mind this at all, and the two of them joined forces from then on.
Of course, although the Fire Virtue Star Lord was willing to share the authority, this was predicated on the Great White Star Lord being clear about how to proceed and proactively speaking up.
If he couldn't even comprehend this much, then even if he did ask, he wouldn't be able to keep the authority in the future, rendering all his efforts meaningless–it would be better for the Fire Virtue Star Lord to monopolize it.
Upon hearing the concerns of the Great White Star Lord, the Fire Virtue Star Lord was completely unconcerned, smiling and saying, “The Heavenly Path of this world is flawed, and although those Emperors and Sovereigns have stepped onto the Immortal Path, they still fall short compared to a true Tao-Certifying True Immortal.”
The power of a True Immortal is certified once and for all, so a Tao-Certifying True Immortal like the Fire Virtue Star Lord sees these world's Great Royalty Emperors as having the strength of True Immortals, but not quite qualifying as one.
