214: Chapter 177 Dream_2 214: Chapter 177 Dream_2 Lady Houtu gave him a reproachful glance and said discontentedly, “Lady Houtu gave him a reproachful glance and said discontentedly, “You still have the nerve to laugh, and those useless disciples of yours as well. Despite each being a Heavenly Venerate, none are of any use. If those wastes had even a little capability, we would not be in such a deplorable state.” As she spoke, her anger grew and she truly wanted to crush Li Guangming and all the rest to death. Apart from bringing shame, they are of no use at all. The Jade Emperor smiled faintly and said, “I never expected them to accomplish anything. I simply didn’t want to play my trump cards too soon, to avoid exposing them prematurely.” Lady Houtu scoffed and said, “Now that the position of Great Heavenly Venerate is taken by someone else, what trump cards are you still afraid of exposing?” The Jade Emperor smiled inscrutably and offered no explanation. His eyes sparkled as he said, “I have anticipated this situation and have made arrangements. There is no need to worry. As long as I am successful in the end, the so-called position of Great Heavenly Venerate means nothing. I can easily take it back at any moment.” The Jade Emperor was extremely confident, not taking the position of the Great Heavenly Venerate seriously at all. Dubious, Lady Houtu looked at the Jade Emperor, unable to fathom his intentions. She did not continue to ask, because Houtu knew that even if she did, the Jade Emperor would not reveal anything. That was just his nature; if he didn’t wish to speak of something, no one could extract it from him. “Have it your way. Now that Ziwei has claimed supremacy, our days ahead will be difficult. He becomes stronger by holding the reins. I hope your plan succeeds sooner rather than later. Otherwise, I fear we won’t last until the day comes and give out before then.” Lady Houtu said indifferently. “Rest assured.” The Jade Emperor was confident, his lips curling into a self-assured smile. Inside Gou Chen Heaven Palace, the Gou Chen Great Emperor was in a thunderous rage. His eyes blazed with cold fury, his entire being enraged. The Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate had arrived and sat below the Gou Chen Great Emperor. He, however, showed no emotional fluctuations, instead wearing a faint smile on his face. “How can you still smile at a time like this, Heavenly Venerate?” Gou Chen Great Emperor said coldly after giving Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate a sidelong glance. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate instead asked, “Why, Your Majesty, are you so filled with anger?” Without hesitation, the Gou Chen Great Emperor said, “Ziwei has now become the Great Heavenly Venerate. All my long-lasting plans are about to be wasted, and hope is lost for me to ever assume the Great Heavenly Venerate position.” “Your Majesty is mistaken,” Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate said, smiling. Gou Chen Great Emperor looked puzzled, his gaze questioning. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate did not explain, but instead asked, “Between the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei, who is stronger and who is weaker?” “Naturally, the Jade Emperor is stronger. Ziwei is merely equivalent to the likes of us, far behind the Jade Emperor.” The Gou Chen Great Emperor answered without hesitation. The gap between the Four Heavenly Kings and the Jade Emperor was clear in their hearts. If not, how could they contentedly serve beneath someone else? It wasn’t out of noble integrity, but simply because they were indeed not as good as the other party. “Then that settles it, so Your Majesty should actually be happy,” Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate said, smiling faintly. The Gou Chen Great Emperor was merely angry, lacking clear thought; he was not a fool. After considering Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate’s words, a realization dawned on him, and his eyes lit up. The Gou Chen Great Emperor’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Yes, indeed, I should be happy,” he said. “Has Your Majesty understood?” “I have,” the Gou Chen Great Emperor laughed heartily, instantly feeling much better. The Five Extremes War God looked on perplexed. Had the Gou Chen Great Emperor gone mad from losing his imperial position? Otherwise, why would he be so jubilant? Happy for the Great Emperor Ziwei? Nonsense. Although the two were brothers, they each wished the other dead. Sometimes, hostility between brothers can turn bitterer than with strangers. Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the Sky War God and his compatriots, the Gou Chen Great Emperor snorted coldly to himself, deriding them as fools. These subordinates truly left much to be desired. Still, he explained, “You must be wondering why I’m so pleased.” The Sky War God and his peers eagerly nodded. The Gou Chen Great Emperor was in excellent spirits; a confident smile played across his face as he said, “If the Jade Emperor were the Great Heavenly Venerate, it would be nearly impossible for me to usurp his position, as he is too strong. But Ziwei is different; he is my equal. Now that he is the Great Heavenly Venerate, there’s at least a fifty-fifty chance that I can scheme to take his place. Therefore, his becoming the Great Heavenly Venerate is something I should be happy about; it means I am closer to seizing the position for myself.” The Five Extremes War God suddenly saw the light. They immediately knelt down, exclaiming loudly, “Congratulations to Your Majesty, felicitations to Your Majesty.” “Rise, haha,” the Gou Chen Great Emperor laughed heartily. The Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate looked on oddly at the scene before him; to the uninformed, it might seem as if it was the Gou Chen Great Emperor himself who had ascended to the position of Great Heavenly Venerate. Moreover, where did the Gou Chen Great Emperor get the confidence to claim he had a fifty percent chance of becoming the Great Heavenly Venerate? Great Emperor Ziwei’s strength aside, Sun Wukong was aiding him. Sun Wukong himself could combat an average Great Heavenly Venerate, and teamed up with Master Erlang Yang Jian, they could equal the Gou Chen Great Emperor in battle. Furthermore, Sun Wukong had many allies, among whom were numerous powerful figures. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate thought the Gou Chen Great Emperor and his servants were quite amusing. The Gou Chen Great Emperor, unaware of Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate’s thoughts, was already indulging in dreams of defeating Ziwei and becoming the Great Heavenly Venerate. As for the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole, better left unmentioned, utterly serene as if nothing had occurred—truly worthy of being one of the most low-profile of the Four Heavenly Kings. Here, the banquet concluded, and everyone went their separate ways.
