Chapter 1323: Chapter 1270-Chapter 1271 Great Morning Meeting Law Enforcement Impartially_2 Chapter 1323: Chapter 1270-Chapter 1271 Great Morning Meeting Law Enforcement Impartially_2 Those gods from sects were better off, for although they had to do some things for the sect, they could also receive support, boosting their cultivation.
However, ordinary independent practitioners who became gods weren't so lucky, not every one of them had the opportunity to discover new worlds like Wood Virtue Star Lord, nor was every independent practitioner one step away from the Immortal Path Realm like the Supreme Overlord.
Many gods, though their ascension was not merely by chance, did rely on a significant part of luck, but even after becoming gods, advancing further proved difficult.
After all, with countless gods in the Heavenly Court, other gods had backgrounds, and had seniors to look after them. You, without any support, on what basis should you be promoted?
Therefore, in the Heavenly Court, choosing a faction to join or forming an alliance to unite and huddle together was necessary.
And to stand out and win the favor of the powerful, thereby swiftly ascending the ranks, was not uncommon either.
Although taking one's chance to stand out now involved great risks, it also offered substantial rewards. If one could gain the favor of a strong figure, it would definitely be a huge payoff.
Under such lucrative temptations, there was no lack of people willing to take a gamble, whether proactively or forced, as new members joining a faction also had to present their credentials.
But as many hesitated and weighed their options, they unexpectedly lost their chance. Suddenly, a god stepped forward, walked to the center of the hall, and loudly declared, “Your servant, Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, has a report!”
The voice of Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch resounded within the hall, drawing everyone's attention. Many wore expressions of surprise, and even some gods showed resentment in their eyes.
Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, Hai Gangfeng, was appointed by Longevity Taoist Monarch to hold the Heavenly Rules, overseeing all gods. Although his own strength was not formidable, he managed to keep the gods in check with the Punishment Jade Ruler bestowed by Longevity Taoist Monarch.
Over the years, gods, often due to their sects' interests, inevitably broke some Heavenly Court regulations, and faced with these cases that could have been overlooked, this Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch was uncompromisingly strict and merciless.
From Star Lords and Heavenly Kings to ordinary gods, anyone who violated the Heavenly Court rules and got caught by this Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch definitely did not escape punishment.
Ordinary gods facing this Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch were just like frightened birds.
Even the True Gods and many Star Lords and Heavenly Kings didn't want to be caught by this Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, even if there wouldn't be any serious consequences, because getting humiliated by the other party was a great loss of face.
Now, seeing the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch step forward, everyone instinctively wondered who he had caught this time. Some ordinary gods pondered whether they had done anything improper lately.
The True Gods and many Star Lords and Heavenly Kings scanned their subordinate gods, looking to see if it was one of their own who had made a blunder.
This reaction alone showed the authority Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch had established in the Heavenly Court over the past centuries, and undoubtedly proved Pei Xuanjing's keenness in judging people.
Admittedly, the current tension between independent practitioners and various powers was significant, but everyone understood that without the strict supervision of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, the gods would likely be more unruly and the situation would be even worse.
Jade Emperor Zhu Houji also showed different colors in his eyes, not expecting him to speak, but after reflecting, he realized it was reasonable.
So, he didn't deny the request of Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch and indicated, “Since my subject has a matter, then speak directly!”
Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch looked solemn and said gravely, “Your Majesty, regarding the Expansion Plan originally proposed by Longevity Taoist Monarch, respected by the entire Heavenly Court, nowadays there are gods who have discovered new worlds yet conceal them and do not report. What should be their punishment!”
Boom!
The expressions of all gods present changed dramatically, looking towards Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch with disbelief.
This matter had to be addressed by someone, with no party wanting to bring it up themselves, everyone was wondering who would lay this issue out in the open.
However, while various parties had their schemes and counter-schemes, no one had considered implicating the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch in this matter.
This Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, known for his stern impartiality and integrity, did not form factions, and being appointed by the Longevity Taoist Monarch himself, he represented the archetype of a loner in the Heavenly Court. Thus, few dared to offend him, even if their subordinates had been punished by him.
Moreover, although the current affair had caused quite a stir, it realistically did not affect the rules of the Heavenly Court. It merely skirted around the edges of these rules, making it impossible to directly accuse someone of violating Heavenly Rules.
Therefore, when the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch stepped forward, everyone thought he was addressing another matter he had uncovered, never expecting him to intervene in this particular issue.
“Could it be that he was instructed by someone?”
“But given his character, who could possibly direct him?”
“There are countless powerful entities in this world, but very few indeed who are qualified to command this Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch.”
“Indeed, could it be the Longevity Taoist Monarch, or perhaps the Jade Emperor, or maybe Emperor Wenchang has some thoughts on this?”
The Star Lords and True Gods each expanded their musings, speculating whether someone was guiding the actions of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch behind the scenes.
After all, considering his personality, only a few could potentially direct him.
Does this signify that some are unable to overlook this issue any longer and wish to use this opportunity to manifest their own will?
The whims of the powerful require careful contemplation by all Gods, who must decipher the deeper meanings behind them; such is the instinct for survival in the Heavenly Court.
“Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, speak your piece!” The Jade Emperor Zhu Houji's eyes flickered with unusual light as he spoke solemnly.
This Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch was a pillar of talent within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty under Zhu Houji, whose skills and virtues were undeniable. Even though Zhu Houji greatly disliked his personality and way of conducting himself, he had to admit that he was nearly flawless.
However, such a virtuously high-minded and capable subject is not necessarily a confidant for an emperor, for emperors are not truly impartial or virtuous, meaning his principles could override the emperor's interests, something any emperor would dislike.
Thus, in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, even though he was very capable, he was not truly Zhu Houji's confidant; the emperor preferred to use Mr. Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
After being enthroned as the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch by Master Pei, assigned to govern all Gods, Zhu Houji saw this as making full use of his talents, yet he was even less likely to regard him as a confidant, though he was his sovereign.
This time, even if Zhu Houji was stirring the pot behind the scenes, knowing that the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch was like a sharp sword, he nevertheless would not direct him, both because he could not and because it might likely backfire on him.
Thus, even though he hadn't influenced the matter to expose it, he tended to think that the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch had taken his own initiative to get involved.
But no matter, this issue was bound to explode eventually, better that it be triggered by the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch than by someone else.
“Star God Ding Ce, hailing from Thunder Flame Hall. Participated in the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan, discovered a Small Thousand World but concealed it, intending to usurp it for himself…” the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch's gaze sharpened, falling upon one of the divine beings inside the grand hall.
Instantly, everyone's gaze turned to Star God Ding Ce.
This Star God, Ding Ce, was originally just one of the many lesser-known divine beings in the Heavenly Court. Though somewhat powerful, he neither hailed from a top-tier power nor possessed extraordinary strength compared to others, attracting little attention.
But that was in the past. Regarding nothing else but this instance in the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan where he was one of the only two divine beings who first discovered new worlds, his luck was proven extraordinary, enough to draw many eyes.
