Chapter 1471: Chapters 1418-1419: Maintenance and Rule_2 Chapter 1471: Chapters 1418-1419: Maintenance and Rule_2 As rarity breeds value, Emperor Wenchang's feat of challenging and suppressing a True Immortal shocked the world because it was a rare event. Not every strong figure could achieve such a feat–if any Supreme Overlord could challenge a True Immortal, then the latter would not hold such reverence, and what Emperor Wenchang achieved would not be as astonishing.
Since the time Emperor Wenchang challenged and suppressed a True Immortal, there had been no shortage of Supreme Overlords who tried to emulate such an act, but without a doubt, none succeeded in the end.
The strongest figure to come closest to what Emperor Wenchang did was undoubtedly Fire Virtue Star Lord's Incarnation who, in the face of numerous Great Ancient Emperors descending during the summoning of the Heavenly Court's forces to Class B World No.1, suppressed two Great Ancient Emperors at the Supreme Overlord Realm.
However, this grand achievement wasn't recognized by everyone, considering the essence of Fire Virtue Star Lord was a True Immortal. Especially after understanding the details, knowing that Fire Virtue Star Lord had a Divine Treasure refined with the help of the Emperor of Longevity and that the two Great Emperors were not genuine True Immortals, it was inevitable that his victory was taken for granted.
You see, when Emperor Wenchang faced off against the True Immortal, he relied on nothing but his divine sword, and yet he overcame the True Immortal without the aid of any other Magical Treasure or Divine Weapon.
But today, from what he witnessed, the Fate Controller Star Lord and his allies actually joined hands to suppress a being with the combat power of a True Immortal, repeating the legendary deed of Emperor Wenchang once more.
“The era when Supreme Strong challenge True Immortals is coming?” Pang Hong caressed the Jade Ruyi in his hand, his eyes sparkling with a sharp gleam.
Even though he maintained the demeanor of an obedient disciple in front of Pei Xuanjing, he couldn't hide his desire for power, his urge to challenge the strong.
It was undeniable that apart from the great support and elevation he received from his master, Pei Xuanjing, his own efforts, and his aspiration for strength were essential for his journey from being a mere mortal to his present standing.
Having come this far in the Golden Core Dao, he was but one small step away from the True Immoral Realm. Before, the thought of challenging a True Immortal was just a fleeting desire.
However, now that he had genuinely seen the success of the Fate Controller Star Lord and their cohort, to say he wasn't tempted to try it himself would be nothing short of self-deception.
None of the strong figures that had reached this stage were content to fall behind. The belief that “if you can do it, so can I; if you can't, I definitely can” was their confidence, their pride.
This thought briefly flashed across his mind, and Pang Hong temporarily suppressed the matter. After all, such endeavors were not simple; even if he truly wanted to undertake this challenge, it required strategic preparation, careful planning, and was certainly not something to be attempted unprepared.
Setting this matter aside for the moment, Pang Hong turned his attention to the information that followed, a faint smile curling at his lips: “It seems that the True Immortals are finally ready to join the fray, no longer willing to drag this out. Well, that's for the best. By integrating this world quickly, there will be no discontent amongst the various parties.”
To the uninformed, the situation in Class B World No.1 appeared to be a massive training ground, with True Immortals watching from the sidelines, allowing various Star Lords to act and hone themselves, not wishing to enter the fray too soon.
This time, rather than claiming that the action of the Fate Controller Star Lord and his cohort forced the Heavenly Court to intervene, it would be more accurate to say that the True Immortals of Heavenly Court recognized they could no longer delay and so, promoted the actions of the Fate Controller Star Lord in the background, creating an opportunity for Heavenly Court to step in.
Yes, the True Immortals of Heavenly Courthad realized they had procrastinated in this world for too long and could no longer afford to wait.
As part of the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan back then, a consensus was made among the various powerful beings: the world that was newly discovered would be open for exploration to its finders first, providing them with the privilege of initial exploration, and thereafter, other strong beings could also enter to seek out their fortuitous opportunities.
There was nothing wrong with this; it was to ensure the smooth progress of the plan. After all, one can't let explorers take enormous risks and then gain nothing from them.
While the other strong beings enter these newly explored worlds to seek opportunistic fortunes, they also shoulder the responsibility of helping to stabilize those worlds. This was a mutually beneficial arrangement, as the pioneers alone were incapable of stabilizing a world, especially a powerful one.
But note one point, that is, there is a time limit to this arrangement. For the many strong beings, venturing into these newly discovered worlds isn't without a temporal constraint.
They can have such opportunities because they have the Divine Land World as their support and the backing of the Heavenly Court. The Divine Land World and the Heavenly Court represent not just themselves, but also the interests of all gods of the Divine Land World and its divine spirits.
So they are destined not to delay for too long. If they continue to delay, it will inevitably lead to the discontent of the strong beings within the Divine Land World, and the collective discontent of all the living beings of the Divine Land World.
The will of ordinary living beings may not be considered significant by these strong beings; the will of one or two beings is not enough to have any impact.
But when the soil accumulates to form a mountain and the waters converge to form a sea, when the collective will of all beings in the Divine Land World comes together, it can change the face of the land. Even in a Transcendent World, when all living beings unite with a single will, even the Will of the Heaven and Earth must give way, let alone these True Immortal Strong.
Just as these True Immortals have been granted a deeper connection with the Will of the Heaven and Earth, and the human race's Qi Luck has been added to them, their actions must actually follow the heavenly trajectory and represent the interests of all living creatures.
Once their actions conflict with the Will of the Heaven and Earth, they will lose divine favor and the cherished support of the Heaven and Earth's Will; similarly, as the strong beings of the human race, bearing the human race's Qi Luck, their actions, if causing discontent among the living creatures of the human race, will naturally begin to strip away and erode their own Qi Luck.
Therefore, these strong beings will not continue to delay any longer. Once they cause a rift between the sentiments of the people and Heaven and Earth begin to disdain them, no fortuitous opportunity they gain from the new world will be worth the care of the existing Will of the Heaven and Earth or the added Qi Luck of the human race.
It should be known that Class B World No.1 is also the highest-level world discovered by the Heavenly Court to date. Such immense fortuitous opportunities can only be enjoyed by a portion of the strong beings, while other Cultivators are restricted from entering that world for various reasons, at least for the time being.
However, regardless of whether the reason is internal or external, so-called intangible benefits can inevitably lead to dissatisfaction over time, as not everyone can continually self-reflect. Most of the time, double standards prevail.
Yet, as True Gods of the Heavenly Court, Pang Hong and his peers inevitably need to consider these people's emotions; after all, often these so-called superiors also need to be considerate of a greater number of people's thoughts.
After all, the interests they represent in the Heavenly Court are also these people's interests, requiring their support and protection.
Now that these strong beings are beginning to promote the integration of the two worlds, it also undoubtedly saves Pang Hong a lot of trouble.
And it's not just for the ordinary Cultivators, but as the upper echelons, those who obtain benefits, once this world is integrated into the Divine Land World, the benefits he can gain would also be substantial.
“Perhaps, it's time to seek out opportunities of my own. The coming era is that of immortals, and without the strength of a True Immortal, one may not even have a voice,” mused Pang Hong.
