Chapter 1320: Chapters 1268–1269 Various Wills Cut by Themselves Nip in the Bud Chapter 1320: Chapters 1268–1269 Various Wills Cut by Themselves Nip in the Bud The same situation, from different perspectives, yields different results and interests it represents.
From the point of view of the Jade Emperor Zhu Houji, as the nominal Emperor of Heaven, everyone should be his subjects, and thus the authority of the Heavenly Court should be held in his own hands.
However, from the perspective of the various Imperial Honors, many Star Lords, Heavenly Monarchs, and All Gods, they believe the Jade Emperor Zhu Houji should simply be a good Holy Heavenly Emperor. The idea of him scheming for their authority and harming their interests is unacceptable to them.
Furthermore, many True Immortals believe that it is best for the Holy Heavenly Emperor to simply be the flag of the Heavenly Court, to reign without involving himself in any affairs of heaven and earth, leaving everything to be managed by them.
This is the cause of the internal struggle within the Heavenly Court, an irreconcilable conflict because no one is willing to give up their benefits easily.
The goal of the world expansion project is unified among everyone, as is the recognition of integrating it into the Great Ming World to assist with the Heaven and Earth Ascension. However, regarding the fortuitous opportunities and benefits that arise from this plan, there is no clear statement on how they should be divided.
The benefits generated in this process are not small, significant enough to move True Immortals. If there had been clear definitions and rules beforehand, these powerful beings, despite their dissatisfaction, would still have tolerated it.
But, the issue is that even the Longevity Taoist Monarch, the initiator of the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan, seems to have forgotten this point, not clearly defining the ownership of the benefits produced in the process, causing such a situation momentarily.
“What exactly is the Sect Leader Brother thinking?” Yu Zhenzi looked toward Pang Hong with bewilderment and asked.
If it were anyone else or anything else, perhaps it truly was a major oversight in the planning, leading to this situation.
But for his own Taoist Monarch, Yu Zhenzi absolutely refused to believe it; such an oversight was impossible.
The matters within the Shenxiao Sect, as well as the affairs of heaven and earth, are not of no concern to the Longevity Taoist Monarch. It's not that he's bad at handling them, but rather he prefers to focus on cultivation and not get involved.
Looking back on every one of his plans, they were meticulously made, with contingency plans in place for any unforeseen events. Given that the current situation is not due to an oversight, he is more inclined to believe that the Taoist Monarch is plotting something, deliberately letting this situation arise.
“As expected, Uncle, who has followed the Sect Leader for many years, cannot be fooled by his tactics,” Pang Hong said with a slight smile while praising Yu Zhenzi. Then he continued, “The Sect Leader believes that once the Heavenly Court is established, after absorbing all gods, they need to understand their place and identity.”
“Hmm?” Yu Zhenzi was startled, then his face brightened with understanding.
Understand their place and identity, as soon as he heard this, he realized what the Taoist Monarch meant.
With the establishment of the Heavenly Court and the ennobling of the gods, these gods not only gained near-immortal lifespans, but they also gained control over the Heavenly Authority. As the saying goes, “When one man attains the Tao, even his pets ascend to heaven”; after becoming gods, it's almost an instinct for these divine beings to look after their own descendants and disciples, and favouritism becomes inevitable under such circumstances.
Although there are many Independent Practitioners among these gods, it is undeniable that a significant portion of them comes from Sects. Cashing in on their strength and merit, most are positioned highly.
There's no need to mention those Independent Practitioners, except for the very few with countless descendants, most have few friends and family. Any favouritism there may be is not a big deal, manageable within the scope of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch's control.
But those gods from Sects are indeed complicated in their affiliations. When united within the Heavenly Court, they form a formidable force, providing a massive advantage for their Sects and seizing numerous benefits that belong to the Heavenly Court.
Over the centuries following the Enthroning of Gods, the struggle between the new generation of cultivators and the old powers has become increasingly fierce, for this reason.
It could even be said that just like the scenario in Sky Wasteland, after these gods gained authority, they aggressively monopolized resources, suppressed newcomers, and eroded their space for growth.
Their struggle has almost become the biggest contradiction in the Mortal Realm.
The gods, who should have been mediating, were biased due to their own origins, almost without any attempt at concealment.
Even though the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch punished a part of them impartially, it proved difficult to put an end to such practices, which simply went from public to private.
Dealing with such matters was complicated for the likes of Yu Zhenzi; after all, even if they did nothing, the development of the Shenxiao Sect was inevitably facilitated by the reputations of their ranks.
In the end, it's human nature; the Shenxiao Sect could only control its own internals. This also meant that they lacked the moral high ground to criticize others.
Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong discussed whether the reason the Sect Leader Brother had not taken action was because the Shenxiao Sect itself was involved, wanting to save face for their disciples.
