Chapter 1558: Chapters 1506-1507: Movement from All Directions (First Release, Then Revise – Please Wait for Subscription) Chapter 1558: Chapters 1506-1507: Movement from All Directions (First Release, Then Revise – Please Wait for Subscription) “Although the War God of the South Pole didn't understand why the Emperor Monarch would ask him about such an obvious principle, he answered truthfully without the slightest hesitation.”
“The shepherd dog is meant to guard the flock, to protect the sheep from being preyed upon by wolves.”
“If the shepherd dog fails to stop them, can't protect the flock, and doesn't fulfill its duty, then that is the meaning of its existence.”
“In the eyes of the War God of the South Pole, if one can't even fulfill their own duties, they should be replaced. Although this sounds somewhat cruel, it is indeed the best choice.”
Emperor Gouchen glanced at the other party and said with an indifferent expression, “Indeed, if the shepherd dog cannot remain loyal to its duty, it should be replaced. Do you know that in the eyes of some people, we, the holders of Imperial Honors, are also shepherd dogs? If we cannot fulfill our duties, will we too be replaced by others!”
“Emperor Monarch!” The War God of the South Pole's voice was deafening, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Emperor Gouchen, not understanding why the emperor would speak like this.
“Do you think what I've said is an exaggeration?” Emperor Gouchen said with a sneer.
“Emperor Monarch, you are a being from the True Immortal Sixth Layer, holding Heavenly Authority and esteemed among the Six Imperials, an unparalleled and powerful figure. Apart from a few old-brand True Immortal Taoist Monarchs, even the ordinary Taoist Monarchs must treat you with respect. Who could possibly do anything to you, and who would dare see you as a shepherd dog!” The War God of the South Pole was furiously angry.
As the saying goes, 'When the master is disgraced, his followers die.' As a subordinate under Emperor Gouchen, his everything was bound with Emperor Gouchen; he would not tolerate any insults towards the other party, which was also an insult to him.
In his view, Emperor Gouchen was already standing at the pinnacle of the Divine Continent, even among All Heavens, who would dare to belittle him so.
“What if it is those few old Taoist Monarchs who see it that way?” Emperor Gouchen's voice was dark, his gaze piercing.
As these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze in an instant, and the expression on the War God of the South Pole's face appeared to be frozen stiff, his mouth agape but unable to utter a single word.
He had never imagined that it would be these few.
A flash of anger crossed Emperor Gouchen's eyes, and with a placid smile, he said, “Sometimes, the truth is exactly so!”
No matter how unpleasant the words were, the reality was just that.
Don't look at their Imperial Honors as being glorious–within the entire Divine Land World, they are among the most pinnacle existences, holding inconceivable status and strength.
But, in the eyes of some people, their primary function isn't anything else but to act as shepherd dogs, constraining the hungry wolf that is the Jade Emperor and guarding the Heavenly Court Authority.
No matter what efforts they make or how many merits they establish, if they cannot constrain the Jade Emperor, allowing this hungry wolf to break free from his shackles, it means they, the shepherd dogs, have lost their purpose and could be replaced at any moment.
“Do not think those True Immortal Taoist Monarchs are good people!” Emperor Gouchen laughed coldly.
Others might not know, but how could Emperor Gouchen, who came from the Sword Sect, be unaware? He might not understand the ways of old-brand True Immortal Taoist Monarchs from other sects, but how could he possibly forget the rules of the Sword Sect?
Perhaps for other sects, their strict control over disciples lessens as the disciples grow stronger, allowing them to gain a corresponding freedom.
But for the Sword Sect, it's entirely different; or rather, the Sword Sect has a unique set of formal rules, distinct from other sects.
The Sword Sect's rules are not as numerous as others might imagine, but rather exceedingly simple–just those few simple rules, which one must not break.
Though there are few rules, they must not be easily broken. No matter what the reasons or excuses, when one violates the Sword Sect's rules, there must be appropriate punishment, unless one has the right to be exempt from the Sword Sect's rules.
And when it comes to exemptions from the Sword Sect's rules, or wanting to avoid punishment for breaking the Sword Sect's rules, one must become the leading figure of the Sect; otherwise, punishment is inevitable.
Within the Sword Sect, the strongest is the Sword Emperor, meaning that within the whole Sword Sect, the Sword Emperor is the enforcer of rules. Any Sword Sect disciple who wants to break the sect rules without punishment must be more powerful than the Sword Emperor.
With Emperor Gouchen's strength, he is indeed formidable both within the land and the entire Sword Sect, where only a few, like the Sword Emperor, could surpass him.
But it is precisely for that reason that he faces immense pressure from the Sword Emperor. Even though he reigns supreme in the Heavenly Court, holding the highest Authority and status, he is still subject to the jurisdiction of the Sword Sect, or rather, the Sword Emperor.
On ordinary days, the Sword Sect exercises no restrictions over him, and he can do as he pleases, in accordance with his own thoughts and interests.
But once an issue arises that concerns the interests of the Sword Sect, he must consider the Sect's perspective and not harm the interests of the Sword Sect. Even if there is a conflict between the two sides, he must choose to sacrifice his own interests to maintain everything about the Sword Sect.
At least until he surpasses the Sword Emperor, the will of the Sword Sect is greater than all, he cannot oppose it; he can only comply.
Now, as he sits in this position, his purpose for the Sword Sect is to restrict the development of the Jade Emperor, acting as the shackles that confine him.
