Chapter 1328: Chapters 1276–1277 Imperial Honors' Will Chapter 1328: Chapters 1276–1277 Imperial Honors' Will Sometimes victory and defeat are indeed important, but there are things even more crucial than winning or losing.
This matter is of great significance, representing different interests driven by the will of these powerful beings themselves.
Yet, for these mighty ones, they can accept defeat, but they cannot tolerate disunity among their subordinates.
If there are those whose positions are not firm at this moment, then even if the purpose of a certain powerhouse is achieved, they will not let these waverers off the hook.
On the contrary, even if this plan falls through, as long as the people under their command are united and steadfast, then everyone can regroup and win again next time.
The Longevity Taoist Monarch, Pei Xuanjing, let things take their course behind the scenes, making these Imperials and True Gods who wielded the Heavenly Court's authority and their former Sects make a choice, aiming to genuinely eliminate the influence of the Sects on the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, for many Imperials and True Gods in control of power, they also wanted to take this opportunity to test the thoughts of the Gods under them, thereby uniting their followers and making a clear stand.
Each powerful figure had their plans and thoughts; none wanted the existence of traitors within their ranks.
The dispute over how to deal with the Small Thousand World this time was a conflict of interest, but it was also an opportunity for many Gods to determine their stance.
Only by standing firm in such a genuine you-or-me struggle could they gain their superior's trust, followed by more opportunities and support.
Emperor Zhu Houji also wanted to use this opportunity to see among the Gods in this full hall, who belonged to whom, who was the most loyal subordinate, and who had an unstable position and could be influenced.
For a time, the Gods within the Lingxiao Great Hall each stated their opinions, expressing their views on this matter, while also establishing their standpoints.
Of course, there might indeed be some powerhouses stirring the pot under cover, sending their loyal underlings to feign allegiance to others, but undeniably, such people were very few, just a handful.
After waiting for all the Gods to express their views, whether by coincidence or intentional push by some, the number of Gods who agreed or disagreed was roughly the same, each about half.
Now, within this grand hall, the only ones who had not yet clearly declared their standpoints were a few Imperials, the Longevity Taoist Monarch, and many True Immortals.
And everyone knew that their attitudes were important, but that was in a situation of overwhelming advantage.
If the Gods in this hall had one side thoroughly overpowering the other in their views on this matter, then even these Imperials and True Immortals would consider their influence.
But now that they were evenly matched, it proved that the final decision would be determined among these Imperials and True Immortals.
“What an interesting situation, throwing the issue entirely to us. To say that you old fellow didn't have a hand in this, I find somewhat hard to believe,” the Ancestor Celestial Master said with a smile, looking towards Master Tianji.
Such tactics and style seemed very much like Master Tianji's orchestration, coming from an understanding of this old friend.
The Ancestor Celestial Master's glance swept over the other True Immortals as well, and he even pondered whether, given Master Tianji's character, he was willing to manipulate this situation surely involving other True Immortals.
After all, according to Tianji's personality, he had such capabilities but seldom got involved in such matters easily; given his status and power, no outcome would affect his interests, and taking an active part was purely a thankless task.
It wasn't just Master Tianji; in truth, the real drivers behind this were those Supreme Strong yet to fully ascend the Immortal Path, along with the newly advanced True Immortals.
For many veteran True Immortals, no matter the outcome, their interests would not be diminished one bit; that was absolute.
In contrast, for those Supreme Overlords and newly advanced True Immortals who seemed glorious, there were still others ahead of them, constraining their actions.
Therefore, they were the ones promoting from behind, waiting for the reaction of these veteran True Immortals, wanting a definitive response to avoid being suppressed later due to any leverage against them.
Master Tianji appeared nonchalant, undisturbed by the Ancestor Celestial Master's gaze, even meeting it squarely without evasion, neither confirming nor denying, which undoubtedly validated the Ancestor Celestial Master's speculation.
“What do the Imperial Honors think?” Emperor Jade Zhu Houji's gaze turned to the other Imperials.
The several Imperials remained silent, not speaking immediately.
If you do not speak, then I will directly call on you; such is the advantage of being the Emperor of Heaven, even if in name only.
Emperor Jade Zhu Houji then addressed Emperor Green Jade of the East Pole, “How does the Great Emperor Qing Hua view this matter?”
Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's question, a Divine Light flashed in the eyes of Emperor Green Jade of the East Pole.
Among the Six Imperials, Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life need not be mentioned, for he is an Incarnation of the Longevity Taoist Monarch. Currently, he is participating in the development of the new world, and the Incarnation present here is but one of the many forms of the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
