Chapter 1324: Chapter 1272–Chapter 1273: Pursuing Personal Interests Under the Guise of Public Duty – Courtiers Despise It Chapter 1324: Chapter 1272–Chapter 1273: Pursuing Personal Interests Under the Guise of Public Duty – Courtiers Despise It Star God Ding Ce, this Star God Ding Ce was originally a strong figure from an ordinary power in the Mortal Realm. Although he only attained the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Realm, he was quite fortunate to have made meritorious contributions during the Conferred God War and was thus appointed as a Star God.
However, even after being enthroned as a god, he barely stepped into the Ninth Realm of the Strongest Realm through the fortuitous Creation Purple Qi, and he wasn't considered an Overlord among the many Supreme Beings, and he was even at the bottom among the ordinary Supreme Beings.
Such strong beings are innumerable in the Heavenly Court, and unless they have some unique traits, they generally do not attract much attention.
However, when the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan started, and he discovered that particular Small Thousand World, he instantly became the focus of the entire Heavenly Court.
At that moment, identified by the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch and with many strong beings casting their glances down, Star God Ding Ce also felt profound emotions.
In the past, he constantly dreamt of making a name for himself and having extraordinary strength that gained the attention of countless strong beings.
But he had never imagined he would face such a scene today and certainly never thought he would gain fame and attract attention in such a manner.
“Star God Ding Ce, is what the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch said true or false?” asked the voice of Jade Emperor Zhu Houji.
Upon hearing the question, Star God Ding Ce immediately stepped forward, coming to the center of the great hall, and without any denial, straightforwardly admitted, “Your Majesty, what the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch said is true.”
Logically speaking, a Star God should fall under the control of the Central Heaven North Pole Emperor Ziwei, and their real direct superior is supposed to be Great Emperor Ziwei.
But the master of this Heavenly Court is the Central Jade Emperor, and even though he is only nominally the Emperor of Heaven, he is still qualified to inquire into all matters–it just depends on whether the emperor and True Gods who manage this sphere of authority would give face.
However, at this moment, since this is the Great Morning Meeting, held in Lingxiao Great Hall with many True Immortals and Imperial Honors True Gods present, Great North Pole Emperor Ziwei had no intentions of opposing when he heard Jade Emperor Zhu Houji's question.
Let alone the fact that it was only fitting for the Jade Emperor to ask this question. Even in this Great Morning Meeting, if the North Pole Emperor Ziwei dared to speak out to stop him, it would show a lack of awareness of the situation. It would be not just denying face to the Jade Emperor but also to the many True Immortals and Longevity Taoist Monarch.
The North Pole Emperor Ziwei could undermine the authority of the Jade Emperor and compete behind the scenes, but he absolutely could not publicly contradict him because Jade Emperor Zhu Houji's position was recognized by many True Immortals and the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
If the other party has not made a mistake, and many True Immortals and the Longevity Taoist Monarch still recognize him, then this position is unshakable. It's possible to undermine authority, but one cannot cause him to lose face, because if the Jade Emperor loses face, then the Heavenly Court loses face. It would mean that many True Immortals and the Longevity Taoist Monarch had misjudged, a responsibility that even the North Pole Emperor Ziwei could not bear.
The North Pole Emperor Ziwei understood this reasoning, and all the Star Gods and Heavenly Kings present understood it, and Star God Ding Ce understood it too, so when he heard the question, he did not dare to show the slightest neglect.
Nor dare he deny this answer.
With the character of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, if he dared to speak, he had sufficient evidence, allowing no room for doubt.
Besides, was the matter of discovering this Small Thousand World still a secret?
All those present knew about it, well aware of it, as it was common knowledge throughout the Heavenly Court, even the soldiers of the Horse Supervision Division were aware.
“I regret it now!” Star God Ding Ce kept repenting in his heart.
If he had admitted from the very beginning that he indeed had the idea of monopolizing this Small Thousand World for himself, at least to seize all the opportunistic fortune within it before handing it over to the Heavenly Court.
After all, interests tempt the heart!
When he was just ennobled as a god, he barely stepped into the threshold of the Ninth Realm of Strong Beings through the fortuitous Creation Purple Qi, which was very ordinary.
But after plundering part of the fortuitous opportunities in this Small Thousand World, not only did it stabilize his realm, but his strength also increased by one level, and he was even close to the limit of the Supreme Overlord Realm.
In his view, if he could completely swallow the opportunistic fortune of this Small Thousand World, even if he couldn't touch the Immortal Path, stepping into the limit of the Supreme Overlord Realm was also highly probable.
The limit of a Supreme Overlord was a realm he dared not think of before. Although there were True Immortals in the world at present, the number of True Immortals was actually not many; a Supreme Overlord already stood at the peak and was worth striving for.
Even though interests tempt the heart, as someone who managed to rise from insignificance and acted as the leader of a small force to establish merits during the Conferred God War without dying and successfully being enthroned, besides luck, he also had sufficient wisdom.
When he realized that the news of his discovering the Small Thousand World began to spread in the Heavenly Court and caused an uproar, he clearly understood that things had gone too far and wanted to immediately contribute this Small Thousand World to the Heavenly Court.
For Ding Ce, he wanted to cut his losses timely, even though it would cost him no small amount of benefits, but he was even clearer about the implications this news stirred.
Behind it, there were countless strong beings amplifying and abetting, many strong beings competing, and this involved not only many Supreme Overlords but also True Immortals and the Longevity Taoist Monarch. With his small stature, he couldn't bear this responsibility.
