If those stars were ownerless, then with the capability of the Great Emperor Ziwei, he would have been able to slowly erode and grasp them, albeit at a longer consumption of time. However, compared to the immense harvest, for True Immortals with endless lifespans, this had no impact whatsoever.
But the stars of the Divine Land World were not without masters; they were owned. One must remember that during the Heavenly Court's descent, at the time of Enfeoffment of All Gods, these Star Divine Positions could be said to be the most numerous among the top divine positions, also attracting many powerful beings to compete for them.
Those ordinary Star Gods were one thing, but the named and powerful stars' collective Divine Positions were substantial. Those Enthroned Gods each were not of the common sort; among them, many had once competed with the Great Emperor Ziwei for the throne.
Thousands of years had passed, and although a portion of the Star Gods had been swayed by the Great Emperor Ziwei, many still retained their independence. They regarded the Great Emperor Ziwei with a mindset of hearing but not heeding his call.
Considering the current status and authority of the Great Emperor Ziwei, by now maintaining independence and not being merged by him, even standing in defiance, those Star Gods were by no means weak. They were either a step away from reaching the True Immortal Seventh Layer – their Realm nearly matching that of the Great Emperor Ziwei – or they possessed unique Divine Abilities and had powerful backgrounds.
Remember, even with the List of Divine Honor as the premise, the beings who stood out during the Conferred God War's fierce conditions were either immensely strong by themselves or had a powerful background–many even had both.
Such beings, with personal strength or background not inferior to that of the Great Emperor Ziwei, how could they have been subjugated by him?
Moreover, no one is liked by everyone; even an Emperor as charismatic as the Great Emperor Ziwei wasn't exempt from this. He hadn't even managed to convince some Star Gods from his own Sect, let alone these beings.
Although these beings were troublesome, they weren't the biggest problem. Instead, it was those stars controlled by true Taoist Monarchs. For these mighty individuals, the stars might not be important, but they certainly wouldn't easily relinquish control to the Great Emperor Ziwei.
So to say, even with the Great Emperor Ziwei's unparalleled prominence, his situation wasn't actually perfect. He had a similar dilemma to the Jade Emperor, unable to master the stars, even unable to mobilize some of the power of the stars.
For the Great Emperor Ziwei, his entrapment at the True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer without yet having ascended to the Taoist Monarch tier was partly due to deliberate self-suppression to accumulate a foundation. But, wasn't it also partly due to this reason?
After all, with the accumulation of the stars so profound, if he could mobilize the power of all the stars, even just a fraction of them, the vast resources would have been enough for him, and he wouldn't need to waste time accumulating a foundation here.
And if he could acquire the Great Star Technique and truly cultivate it successfully, then even if the stars still had their masters, though unable to take control with the Great Star Technique, he would still be able to use part of their power for his purposes.
This was his first step toward perfecting his authority, and it was also a leap forward. If he could achieve this, reaching the Taoist Monarch level as a True Immortal of the Seventh Layer would no longer be an obstacle. In fact, upon entering the Taoist Monarch tier, he would be an extremely powerful entity among them.
So it was one thing before, but now, if he heard that the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities truly existed, and the news of the emergence of the Great Law Decree Technique, to deny any interest in the Great Star Technique would make him undeserving of his position.
“Your subordinate obeys!”
Many Star Gods heard and nodded in agreement.
After all, as members of the Ziwei Emperor Palace, even if they were oblivious to other matters, how could they not know who the greatest competitor was? How could they be unaware of the major obstacles faced during the expansion of the Ziwei Emperor Palace?
Several Star Lords from the Ziwei Emperor Palace, with many Star Gods in tow, commandeered the Chaos Flying Boat, departing from the Ziwei Emperor Palace towards the Myriad Laws Realm.
And as the Chaos Flying Boat of the Ziwei Emperor Palace left the Divine Land World and entered Chaos, heading towards the Myriad Laws Realm, the other Imperial Honors also dispatched their own strong followers to leave.

For these Imperial Honors, their primary issue was to restrain the Jade Emperor's authority.
After all, the reason these few Imperial Honors were recommended to sit in this position was one of their original purposes and responsibilities: to limit the Jade Emperor. They were the biggest shackles binding the Jade Emperor's authority and also the first set of shackles.
As the first line of defense in the alliance besieging the Jade Emperor, if the Jade Emperor wished to break free and shatter the deadlock, then the first thing he had to do was to break away from the chains formed by their several people.
This also meant that once the Jade Emperor became strong, he would inevitably target them first, and their positions would bear the brunt.
So constraining the Jade Emperor was for their own interests!
Moreover, Great Emperor Qinghua and Emperor Gouchen were not like Great Emperor Ziwei. After all, for Great Emperor Ziwei, as long as the Myriad Laws Realm had the Great Law Decree Technique, there would certainly be the Great Star Technique, and he had other desires and options.
But for these two Imperial Honors, they were indifferent to anything in the Myriad Laws Realm. Except for the Great Law Decree Technique, which was slightly related, the legendary Ten Supreme Divine Abilities had nothing to do with them, and therefore, there was no need for a forceful struggle.
Thus, when they sent out their disciples and subordinates to the Myriad Laws Realm this time, aside from putting their own disciples and subordinates to the test, their most important purpose was to stop the Jade Emperor from obtaining the Great Law Decree Technique at all costs.
As long as they could stop the Jade Emperor's plan, even if all their disciples and subordinates failed in this trial, it was a sacrifice they were willing to make.
Everyone had different considerations. Perhaps in the eyes of Great Emperor Ziwei, even if the Jade Emperor obtained the Great Law Decree Technique, it would not impact him at all.
But for the other two Imperial Honors, it was entirely different. If they really allowed the Jade Emperor to rise, they would not only have to face the Jade Emperor's pressure but also consider the supporters behind them.
Among the three Imperial Honors who were truly contending with the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court today, Ziwei was the strongest, wielding the greatest power and leading the three Imperial Honors.
Whereas Qinghua and Gouchen, the two Imperial Honors, were somewhat weaker in their position. They faced similar issues to Great Emperor Ziwei, but they were more constrained by their Sects.
Emperor Gouchen had confidants ask when he was sending out his disciples and subordinates, “Emperor Monarch, do we need to pay such a high price to stop the Jade Emperor?”
The trial in the Myriad Laws Realm was an extremely important one, and it was an opportunity that all parties could not afford to miss. If they could seize this chance, the emergence of several True Immortals was not impossible.
Even for powers as strong as theirs, the addition of one more True Immortal was a significant boost.
If they missed this opportunity and put all their efforts into stopping the Jade Emperor from taking the Great Law Decree Technique, would it be a loss beyond redemption? Even if they ultimately succeeded, in fact, they wouldn't have gained much.
“Stopping the opponent is, for us, the greatest gain,” Emperor Gouchen said solemnly.
Seeing his subordinates, the Gods, did not understand, Emperor Gouchen's lips curled into a cold smirk and then he asked, “Let me ask you this, if a sheepdog fails in its duty to tend the flock and lets the wolf lead away the sheep, would you keep that sheepdog?”
“Of course not! If the sheepdog cannot guard, replace it!” the War God of the South Pole immediately said.
