Chapter 1356: 1304-1305 The Ambitions of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder Chapter 1356: 1304-1305 The Ambitions of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder “`
“Tell them, I do not wish to receive guests now,” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder said to his disciple.
“But, so many Great Ancient Emperors?” the disciple of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder expressed his worry, after all, it was not just one Great Ancient Emperor.
He did not want to go against his master's wishes, but with so many Great Ancient Emperors, rejecting them outright would undoubtedly offend them, which was not good for both his master and the Holy Land of Wind and Thunder.
The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder also furrowed his brows slightly, calming his emotions.
Indeed, it was not one or two Great Ancient Emperors, and even though he had faced humiliation at Myriad Laws Mountain, he should not treat those individuals in such a manner.
It was not that the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder feared these individuals, although he had been defeated by the Emperor of Longevity and had virtually no power to resist him.
But that was only with respect to the overpowering Emperor of Longevity; in the eyes of the other Great Ancient Emperors, he remained the one who had traversed the world for tens of thousands of years, standing at the pinnacle of the universe.
However, some things couldn't just be accomplished by power alone, especially at this moment of complicated circumstances.
From the perspective of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, knowing the origins of the heavenly gate and the ambitions of the Emperor of Longevity, he would have to make a decision, whether to support or oppose it.
To agree to join the Heavenly Court, to help the Divine Continent World integrate into his own birth world, or to stand on the opposing side, to resist firmly to the end, even if it meant sacrificing his life without any compromise or retreat.
There were only these two choices; there was no third option. The matter did not tolerate any neutrality, as neutrals would be oppressed by both sides, and fence-sitters would not die a good death.
Although he had not yet made a real decision, thinking whether to genuinely join or to wave the banner of resistance and rally more people to revolt, he could not continue to anger the other Great Ancient Emperors and find himself without support.
What the Emperor of Longevity said earlier was right; uniting as much power as possible was an absolutely correct choice.
Whether he wanted to join the Heavenly Court or raise a force to resist it, he actually needed to get along with these Great Ancient Emperors outside.
To resist goes without saying, given the immense power of the Heavenly Court of the Divine Continent, definitely beyond something he could contend with alone, thus he must rally as many Great Ancient Emperors as possible, uniting all forces.
Even if choosing to join, it could not be just him alone, after all, the power of one person is ultimately limited, especially when the Heavenly Court of the Divine Continent has numerous powerhouses. If he was to join alone, he would not be able to obtain sufficient authority and status.
Therefore, if he decided to join, whether to gain merits or to attain sufficient authority and status in the future Heavenly Court, rounding up more Great Ancient Emperors to join him would be the best choice.
So, for now, these Great Ancient Emperors should not be offended but instead need to be appeased and shown goodwill.
Having thought this through, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder suppressed his impatience and said to his disciple, “Go and tell these Great Ancient Emperors that I have some matters to attend to and currently cannot receive guests. If they wish, they can come back after three months, and I will tell them everything they want to know.”
Three months was enough time for the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder to make a decision and to assimilate the insights from the recent encounter on Myriad Laws Mountain.
By then, regardless of the choices he made, these individuals could be employed by him and become his potential allies.
“Disciple obeys.”
“Esteemed seniors, my master has urgent matters and needs to go into seclusion for three months.”
To their surprise, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder avoided meeting them, causing the expressions of the several Great Ancient Emperors who had come together to change subtly as different thoughts emerged in their minds.
Some Great Ancient Emperors believed that the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had obtained some benefit and did not want to share it lightly; hence, he used the excuse to delay for three months.
Others thought that the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder came back from the heavenly gate empty-handed and couldn't save face, thus he did not want to meet them.
And some Great Ancient Emperors believed it was obvious that he had a major battle with the mysterious master of the heavenly gate, and the possibly unexpected result was defeat, even suggesting that the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was injured, which was why he did not want to show his weakness.
These Great Ancient Emperors each had their own ideas and guesses, but they all tacitly chose not to voice anything and agreed to wait.
In the end, regardless of the outcome of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's journey to the heavenly gate, he was undoubtedly one of the most pinnacle existences among the many Great Ancient Emperors. Until his weakness was truly confirmed, they still needed to maintain the minimum respect for the Saint Lord.
And to put it bluntly, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder also had his own friends and family. Among the many Great Ancient Emperors who came today, aside from a few with whom he was not particularly close, there were also likely his friends and relatives.
The mere three months' time was indeed bearable for them.
“If that's the case, this Emperor will take his leave first and visit another day,” one said.
“This Emperor has other affairs to attend to; I will return after three months,” another stated.
