Chapter 1354: Chapter 1320 – 1323: The Tide of the Times Rolls On Chapter 1354: Chapter 1320 – 1323: The Tide of the Times Rolls On In the Great Ming World, Pei Xuanjing was revered as the strongest in heaven and earth, the foremost among all.
Thus, many people might simply believe that from the initial War of Sealing Gods, to the later establishment of the Heavenly Court, and up to today's Heavenly Court Expansion Plan, all were driven by the will of Pei Xuanjing, the strongest one.
However, in reality, this was not the case, not so at all.
Even if Pei Xuanjing truly possessed such capability, such power, the real truth was not as such, not just the power and will of Pei Xuanjing alone.
Indeed Pei Xuanjing played a major role in driving these plans, but the execution of all these plans was not merely a representation of Pei Xuanjing's individual will, but included the collective will of many True Immortals, including Pei Xuanjing, those truly standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth.
They were a collective, their powers converged together, forming a force that dominated heaven and earth, thus guiding the development direction of the Great Ming World.
And what brought all these powerful individuals together was none other than the goals set by Pei Xuanjing, their shared interests bound them together.
Just as Jade Emperor Zhu Houji believed, if he wanted to seize the discourse power, to vie for the true authority of the Heavenly Court, he needed to face not just the many Imperial Honors and True Gods of the Heavenly Court, or even the myriad True Immortals behind them, but also Pei Xuanjing, the Longevity Taoist Monarch who single-handedly pushed his rise to power.
Because these people were a collective, a community of interests bound together by numerous trials and shared benefits.
Even Jade Emperor Zhu Houji himself was actually a part of this community of interests. The authority he sought was not about complete overthrow, but more like a struggle for discourse power, a share and seating within this community of interests, a fight for leadership.
“But in this world, no Great Ancient Emperor could achieve this. Even the simplest issue of trust is hard to establish, especially under the temptation of interests,” lamented the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, his expression forlorn.
Not knowing the method was one thing, but when he truly understood the approach of the other party, he realized even more how difficult it was to achieve this point.
Over tens of thousands of years, the grudges and conflicts among the many Great Ancient Emperors were hard to resolve, lacking a sufficiently qualified and powerful figure to unite them, which was a key issue.
Moreover, it also required presenting sufficient benefits to attract them, to give them a common pursuit, which was very difficult.
If the benefits were too great and could not be achieved in a short time, then it was like a mirage or flowers reflected in the mirror, making it difficult for these Great Ancient Emperors to persist, especially when real benefits were not yet visible.
And if the benefits were too small, then it meant that the actual benefits received by each Great Ancient Emperor were not substantial, under which circumstances, already accustomed to strife, they might exacerbate conflicts and disputes over these benefits.
“The era has already changed, when I descended upon this world, the era already changed, everything of the past has turned into history, a new chapter is about to unfold. No one can stop it, anyone who attempts to obstruct the forward movement of the era will be submerged by the torrent of time, none shall survive,” Pei Xuanjing's gaze was inscrutable.
The moment the Heavenly Court's plan began, the moment a world set foot into Chaos, it meant that the struggle within the vast Chaos was no longer limited within a single world. Instead, it swept across the entire Chaos.
If before, all worlds, regardless of their environment, whether they were thriving or deteriorating, like the world where the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder resided, even if there were flaws in heaven and earth, they sought to resolve issues mostly through their own efforts.
But once these people from the Heavenly Court arrived, it signified the emergence of external forces, they could no longer rely on themselves to solve their problems, because of the appearance of new power.
No matter what kind of worlds existed in this vast Chaos Void, but from the moment the Heavenly Court of the Great Ming World was established, and the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan began, all worlds could no longer remain isolated.
Perhaps before being discovered by the Heavenly Court, they could still shut their doors and live their own lives, but the moment the Gods and True Immortal Avatars of the Heavenly Court discovered their world, they were passively drawn into the fray.
Just like the internal spiral of the Great Ming World, the moment the Taoist Academy was established and all skills began to be published, if you did not want to be dominated by others, then you were actively and passively participating in this competition.
After the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan was proposed, and the first God took sufficient Fortuitous Opportunities from a discovered world allowing his power to leap qualitatively, the rest of the Gods and True Immortals could no longer continue to halt the plan from moving forward.
Similarly, as Pei Xuanjing said, once these people descended upon this world, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder could no longer continue to deceive themselves.
“This Emperor knows that this decision is very difficult for you, and you cannot make a decision immediately. But worry not, there is ample time, you can take your time to consider,” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, looking at the solemn-faced Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder.
He knew that what he had said today was too shocking for the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder. The news was impactful even for someone who stood at the peak of this world like the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder; he simply could not make a decision immediately.
