Chapter 1441: Chapters 1388-1389 Great Emperor's Tacit Consent, True Immortal's Endorsement_2 Chapter 1441: Chapters 1388-1389 Great Emperor's Tacit Consent, True Immortal's Endorsement_2 After all, with the personalities and styles of these two Star Lords, no one could command them without the tacit approval or will of the Emperor Monarch, and yet they cooperated like this.
As intellectual strong beings, they generally repel those of the same type, and would not readily cooperate.
“I really don't know,” Star Lord Due shook his head. He neither admitted nor denied, giving an answer of not knowing.
However, this answer undoubtedly made Earth Virtue Star Lord even more convinced of his own thoughts.
In his view, it must be the handiwork of that Emperor Monarch. After all, considering the Emperor Monarch's benevolence and personality, perhaps it was in recognition of their contributions and hard work in this plan that he let them have this sliver of opportunity.
Seeing the thoughts solidifying on Earth Virtue Star Lord's face, Star Lord Due did not say much more.
Although when he had asked Fate Controller and Yi Suan, they had given similar non-committal responses, it was undeniable that he, too, held the same thought.
Now seeing Earth Virtue Star Lord like this, it further validated his own guess; after all, it wasn't just him thinking this way.
Actually, the reason they could have such thoughts was very simple–it was clear that this plan indeed involved taking some grave risks, and if there was a veiled endorsement by the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, it undoubtedly gave them more confidence and certainty.
You must understand, no matter how they strategized, they were inevitably going to clash with some True Immortals in the current situation, a conflict they couldn't avoid, and these True Immortals were beyond their ability to contend with.
Having the vague support of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life meant that it would make some True Immortals hold back in fear, allowing them more leeway.
“What exactly is your plan, and could it conflict with those True Immortals' schemes, or if the stakes are too high, can we hold our ground?” Earth Virtue Star Lord asked.
After all, the benefits that they should have secured were already firmly in their hands. If they ventured out to seize a not-so-significant additional portion of benefits, those True Immortals might turn a blind eye with the Emperor Monarch's vague support behind them.
However, if the stakes were too high, those True Immortals would undoubtedly be stirred, and at that moment these beings would probably not maintain the same attitude, and they would inevitably take action.
“Rest assured, what we are planning is only of value to the Supreme Overlord. It would be insignificant to True Immortals, meaningless as the 'chicken ribs'.” Star Lord Due said confidently, taking it lightly and without worry.
The matters these beings sought were merely figuring out how to become Tao-Certifying True Immortals. Such Opportunistic Fortune would only attract Supreme Overlords who would take action, but True Immortals would not care.
And with these people joining forces, even if a Supreme Overlord wanted to make a move, he would have to assess if he could contend with them.
You must realize that each individual involved this time was of the Supreme Overlord stature, barely a hair away from True Immortal status. Perhaps a True Immortal could suppress them, but united, there was absolutely no Supreme Overlord who could wrest anything from their hands.
“However, not all Supreme Overlords lack powerful backers,” Earth Virtue Star Lord reminded Star Lord Due not to be so overly confident. Anyone who had stepped into the Supreme Overlord Realm seeking a breakthrough in the Immortal Path had a significant background; even Independent Practitioners were not ordinary.
While Supreme Overlords could not wrest the Fortuitous Opportunity from their hands, True Immortals indeed could. Should True Immortals forcibly intervene and turn everything into a done deal, it would be irreversible by then; even if someone stood up for them, what was lost could not be reclaimed.
“They have True Immortals, and we are not without our own True Immortals,” Star Lord Due confidently stated. “Even though the Emperor Monarch has entered seclusion, there are still the Fire Virtue Star Lord and Wood Virtue Star Lord. Although those two do not wish to participate, they have already responded and can serve as a backup, blocking other True Immortals from interfering. This can ensure that everything is kept within the confines of the True Immortal level, preventing any True Immortal from taking action.”
The tacit endorsement from the Emperor Monarch gave them the confidence to push forward with the plan, but even so, they could not tie everything exclusively to the Emperor Monarch. After all, the Emperor Monarch could not constantly watch over everything, especially while in seclusion.
Therefore, they definitely needed to find another safeguard for themselves, and without a doubt, the Fire Virtue Star Lord and Wood Virtue Star Lord were the best choices.
As beings of similar lower easy descent to this world, these two had garnered enough benefits for themselves and would not participate in the forthcoming contests. They had enough leisure and no conflict with other powerful beings.
Since they had all descended together, forming a temporary group, at least for now, and with the Emperor Monarch's endorsement, out of respect for him, the Fire Virtue Star Lord and Wood Virtue Star Lord would take action.
Although it might be said that their group was formed temporarily on the basis of interests, these two True Immortals wouldn't fight to the death for them; simply blocking some True Immortals was entirely sufficient.
Having heard Star Lord Due say this, he no longer had any worries. Everyone was determined and dared to participate; how could he be timid and hesitate?
Becoming powerful and reaching the pinnacle was a path inevitably filled with thorns and dangers, where one could perish at any moment. Compared to walking this path alone as an Ancient God, now with hidden support from the Emperor Monarch, protection from two True Immortals, and the company of fellow Supreme Strong ones, he really saw no reason to refuse.
If he couldn't seize even such an opportunity and hesitated to take a gamble, he might as well give up and simply pass his days idly in the Heavenly Court, for such a life was the most comfortable.
Moreover, with the Emperor Monarch's support, two True Immortals defending the way, and the planning by Fate Controller and Yi Suan, with all these Supreme Strong ones taking action together, it was indeed a luxurious combination. They had considered every aspect, and if there were indeed any issues, it would be due to both time and destiny; no one else could be blamed.
After obtaining the promise from Earth Virtue Star Lord, Star Lord Due turned and left. Generally, such important matters required the other party's commitment to ensure confidentiality.
However, Star Lord Due wasn't worried at all about Earth Virtue Star Lord going back on his word. He did not need a promise from Earth Virtue Star Lord, nor did he need any keepsake.
Besides, being an Independent Practitioner, Earth Virtue Star Lord had no one to contact, and even if there were, would he want to miss such an opportunity?
If Earth Virtue Star Lord really did miss out and let the news slip, Star Lord Due would not be annoyed at all, as it meant that the other party had given up a chance to become stronger, and he had one less competitor invisibly.
And sure enough, as Star Lord Due had anticipated, Earth Virtue Star Lord had no intention of leaking the information but silently returned to his palace at the heavenly gate, began adjusting his state, and awaited the opportune moment.
Speaking of which, in the heavenly gate itself, it originally housed only their people, while the many True Immortals, Supreme Strong beings who arrived in a later batch, initially made their landing there.
After truly understanding this world, they each departed to seek their own opportune fortunes, not establishing their bases there.
Indeed, it's understandable; after all, this place was built by the Wood Virtue Star Lord among others. Although they belonged to the Divine Land World outwardly, that was a unified external designation. In reality, they were each from different factions, not part of the same group.
Among these people, there were inevitably contradictions and conflicts of interest. Although there was a common interest suppressing everything, allowing mutual restraint, given a choice, these people actually preferred not to stay together.
