Chapter 1436: Chapters 1384-1385 Game of Power Chapter 1436: Chapters 1384-1385 Game of Power Regarding the transfer of authority, there were essentially two types. One was to overthrow opponents directly with violent means, suppress them, and annihilate the enemy to seize power.
Such struggles had no rules, or rather, they trampled all rules outright, upending the established order through violence to forge an entirely new set of rules, thereby taking control of authority.
But with such transitions, everything depended on strength; strength alone guaranteed everything and could overwhelm all scheming and break all conspiracies. Without strength, all was empty talk.
Just like Master Pei's rise, he went from insignificant to his current status, and secured his position by displaying the strength that forced others to accept him and act according to his will.
Although Master Pei did not directly use violence to overthrow everything during his rise, everything he did related to reform and breaking the old rules was undoubtedly based on his own strength, and it was with the guarantee of his strength that they could be carried out.
If it were others in his place, they probably would not have even started before attracting the joint attack of numerous True Immortals, who would suppress them from ever surpassing them.
Moreover, times had changed. When Master Pei rose up, he was all alone, fearless as the saying “People who have nothing are least afraid of losing” goes, making others wary of him.
But now, I already had many possessions. If I were to truly flip the table, it would also mean reshuffling the deck, turning into a zero-sum game. The risks were too great, unacceptable for me, so even if I had the ability to do it, I wouldn't.
For Zhu Houji, he preferred another way of transferring authority.
The other type was a bloodless battle, where all strife occurred within the rules, everyone was bound by certain constraints, and everyone followed the game's rules, using their own intelligence and capabilities to obtain corresponding power.
This method might not be as direct as using violence, but it was filled with safety features that Zhu Houji knew well and could control within a certain range, preventing him from being besieged on all sides, and effectively countering with his own methods.
As an Emperor, Zhu Houji's political maneuvers were among the best in the world, and even if he had once been somewhat immature, the trials of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and the current position on the Heavenly Court Jade Emperor had without a doubt made him more mature.
Haste does not bring success; the seizure of authority was never an overnight affair.
Now, I was no longer a mortal with a limited lifespan; thus, if I missed an opportune moment, I might live to regret it, never again touching power.
As a True Immortal, especially as the Emperor of Heaven, he had an almost endless lifespan, Immortal and Indestructible, in no rush to act precipitously. He had ample time to scheme, growing stronger while waiting for the right opportunity to seek his own authority.
For instance, over the past centuries, his subordinates had explored various worlds and reaped considerable gains from those worlds, constantly enhancing their own strength.
Of course, for Zhu Houji now residing in the Sinful Realm, the best way to continuously gain benefits and bolster his strength was the integration of these discovered Small Thousand Worlds.
After all, as the Emperor of Heaven, he was naturally favored greatly by the Will of the Heaven and Earth. His divine station would bestow blessings upon his Cultivation and combat power. As the Divine Continent advanced, so would his station rise with the tide, allowing him to improve.
Therefore, even if he temporarily withdrew from exploring Class B World No.1, it did not mean he had completely given up on paying attention to this world.
Contrary to that, not only had he not stopped paying attention, but Class B World No.1 was also the highest-grade world the Heavenly Court had found so far. If he could integrate it into the Divine Land World, it would undoubtedly be a significant nourishment for the Divine Land World, perhaps even leading to a qualitative leap.
And the elevation of the Divine Land World meant a rise in his own station, and so he paid extreme attention to this world, wishing nothing more than to merge it immediately.
However, when he brought up this subject, Huang Jin's response was not satisfactory, even disappointing him.
“According to the information this servant has gathered, they seem to be at an impasse. They're far from truly integrating this world,” Huang Jin recalled the intelligence about this world and said slowly.
“I've been to that world myself; even if they've received the Divine Land World's methods and those Great Ancient Emperors have grown stronger, with their capabilities, they couldn't possibly withstand for so long. Could something unexpected have occurred?” The Heavenly Court Jade Emperor Zhu Houji frowned slightly.
This world was initially overseen by Master Pei's Incarnation, Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, in the early phase of establishment. Although Master Pei later went into seclusion to yield opportunities to others for the sake of sharing benefits, refraining from getting involved in any affairs.
Even so, before going into seclusion, Master Pei had already laid out a corresponding plan. By executing this plan exactly, the task could be smoothly completed.
