318: Chapter 194 Trusting Ziwei’s Character_3 318: Chapter 194 Trusting Ziwei’s Character_3 Seeing the Great Emperor Ziwei’s bitter smile, he said with a laugh, “As for His Majesty being criticized, that isn’t important. The Jade Emperor has been cursed in all sorts, yet he never cared and instead has held his position as the Supreme of the Three Realms even more firmly. If it weren’t for his losing his senses this time, I fear no one could have toppled him from his supreme position in the Three Realms.” That was indeed true; the Great Emperor Ziwei understood this well. The position of the Jade Emperor was truly stable; had he not thought the Jade Emperor had died, the Great Emperor Ziwei would not have harbored ambitions to become the Great Heavenly Venerate. Despite the Jade Emperor’s notoriety, his ruling power was indeed the strongest among the heavenly emperors in history. As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, even the Great Emperor Ziwei greatly respected him. It was only because the Jade Emperor faked his death that the Great Emperor Ziwei embarked on this path. In the end, the Great Emperor Ziwei could become the Great Heavenly Venerate due to the Jade Emperor’s own making. Thinking of this, the Great Emperor Ziwei gritted his teeth and said, “Very well, then I will make my move, but I have one condition.” “Please speak, Your Majesty,” Yang Jian said with a smile. “You and Wukong will join me in this. That way, our chances are greater, and when the time comes to take criticism, there will be others to bear it with me. If the worst comes to the worst, I could simply say I was misled by you two into such actions,” the Great Emperor Ziwei said as a matter of course. Being the Supreme of the Three Realms, he naturally couldn’t tarnish his image too much. Thus, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian had to become his scapegoats. “Haha, I have no objections,” Yang Jian laughed; he didn’t mind. Having become the Judicial Deity, he was destined to have a mix of good and bad reputations. As for Sun Wukong, he gave the Great Emperor Ziwei a sidelong glance, smirked, and said, “Old Sun’s reputation, when has it ever been good? I don’t care.” Great Emperor Ziwei: “...” He thought the two would object, but to his surprise, neither Yang Jian nor Sun Wukong seemed to care at all, which was somewhat different from what he had expected. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, the Great Emperor Ziwei said, “Since that’s the case, let us depart. Let’s not delay the important matters.” Sun Wukong and Yang Jian’s expressions became serious. The three set off, and Taibai did not leave either. As long as he stayed, people would think they were still there handling matters. As for the Great Emperor Ziwei and the others, they concealed their tracks and left the place. At the residence of the Longevity Great Emperor in the Antarctic, there were no grand palaces, but it resembled a continuous range of Immortal Mountains. Atop each mountain, there were dwellings where the subordinates of the Longevity Great Emperor lived. This matched the Longevity Great Emperor’s longstanding low profile quite well. The Dragon Clan was about to come and attack here, aiming to take down the Thunderous Heavenly Venerate. Upon hearing this, the Thunderous Heavenly Venerate immediately panicked. The four Great Heavenly Kings of the Dragon Clan, along with countless masters—if they all came, it was uncertain if the Longevity Great Emperor could protect them. In his view, the likelihood of not being able to protect them was quite high. So the Thunderous Heavenly Venerate was truly anxious. In such a vast Three Realms, he no longer knew where to flee. And the immortals of the Heavenly Realm also heard the news, and they couldn’t help being shocked. Nobody expected that the Great Emperor Ziwei would suddenly become so aggressive, not only taking over the Thunder Department but even intending to execute the Thunderous Heavenly Venerate. Many guessed the Great Emperor Ziwei’s purpose—he wanted to warn the immortals not to ally with others. If they did not join the Ziwei Heavenly Court, they would have to surrender their divine authority; once the Ziwei Heavenly Court came knocking, it would be a death sentence. Even if they allied with the other three of the Four Heavenly Kings, it might not ensure their survival. Now that the Dragon Clan was coming to attack the Longevity Great Emperor, it was a signal. This showed that even if the Ziwei Heavenly Court had to wage war against the Longevity Great Emperor, they would still kill the Thunderous Heavenly Venerate. If the Thunderous Heavenly Venerate survived this time, the authority of the Ziwei Heavenly Court would definitely suffer, and they would find it even more difficult to control the entire Three Realms and be looked down upon by the old members of the Heavenly Court. However, if the Thunderous Heavenly Venerate was killed, the Ziwei Heavenly Court would have asserted its authority, and afterwards, it seemed likely that many immortals within the Heavenly Realm would join them. The future of the Ziwei Heavenly Court depended on this battle. Gou Chen contacted Lady Houtu. “My Lady, do we help in this battle?” asked the Great Emperor Gou Chen. Lady Houtu laughed lightly and counter-asked, “Do you think we need to help?” Gou Chen immediately said, “Of course we should help. If Ziwei wins, given time, we would be utterly at a disadvantage.” Lady Houtu gave a gentle smile and calmly said, “Why do I feel that if Ziwei is only using the power of the Dragon Clan, he cannot win? Are you perhaps underestimating that man Longevity? The number of cards he has up his sleeve, I fear no one knows.” After pondering for a moment, Gou Chen asked, “Does My Lady mean we should not assist?” “Why wouldn’t we go?” Lady Houtu counter-asked. Gou Chen came close to cursing out of frustration. After all that talking, weren’t they still going? He thought Lady Houtu might have a different opinion. “Hehe, high insight as always, my Lady. Could you please tell me how we should proceed?” Gou Chen asked and then waited for Lady Houtu to finish speaking. He suddenly felt that discussing this with Lady Houtu was a foolish move. This woman—what good strategy could she possibly have? Previous actions had already proven that she was merely being overly clever. Lady Houtu, unaware of Gou Chen’s thoughts, continued confidently, “We definitely need to rush over, but after we arrive, unless absolutely necessary, do not take action. I’m actually curious to see how many cards the Longevity Great Emperor really has.”
