Yet in his heart, a tumultuous wave had already been stirred. The Longevity Great Emperor from the Antarctic turned out to have such a background. Behind him was Shao Siming, and the Longevity Great Emperor himself was actually related to the Senior Commander-in-Chief under the command of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi. And Lady Houtu had known this all along but had never spoken of it. As for the Great Heavenly Venerate Jade Emperor of the Three Realms, he was even more aware of this fact. What this implied, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate knew all too well. He glanced at Great Emperor Gou Chen and found him with a solemn expression, clearly shaken by the news. Thinking of Sun Wukong’s recent telepathic message, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate felt that it might be worth considering. After all, even if he were to stand with Great Emperor Ziwei, it would only mean standing on the side of the Three Realms. But if he continued to mix with Lady Houtu and the Longevity Great Emperor from the Antarctic, it would be unclear which side he was really on. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate only had a good relationship with Great Emperor Gou Chen and wanted to help him become Great Heavenly Venerate. Similarly, this did not mean he was willing to betray the Three Realms. Internal strife and facing external enemies are two different matters. Brothers may fight among themselves, but when facing external enemies, unity is required. “I take my leave,” Great Emperor Gou Chen said indifferently. He gave Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate a look and left with him. Back in Gou Chen Heaven Palace, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate had also arrived. “Taiyi, what do you want to talk about? Actually, you don’t need to say anything, I already know what you want to say,” Great Emperor Gou Chen inquired, but quickly answered his own question. Hearing Great Emperor Gou Chen’s words, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate said with a wry smile, “Great Emperor, don’t you think that joining forces with the Jade Emperor and the others is a very dangerous thing? I’m now somewhat terrified and feel like I’m opposing all beings in the Three Realms.” “Are you afraid?” Great Emperor Gou Chen glanced at him and asked flatly. With a bitter smile, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate did not answer, but instead asked, “Are you not afraid, Great Emperor?” Great Emperor Gou Chen did not speak. After a long silence, he finally said, “How could I not be afraid? Opposing all beings in the Three Realms is like opposing all the powerful ones in the Three Realms, and that includes The Three Pure Ones. In the Three Realms, who isn’t afraid of The Three Pure Ones?” Mentioning The Three Pure Ones, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate shuddered. If there was any existence in the Three Realms that could instill fear in him, it would naturally be The Three Pure Ones. The Three Pure Ones were high above all, looked up to by all cultivators. Even Great Heavenly Venerates could not perceive the heights at which The Three Pure Ones stood. How powerful was the Jade Emperor? He was the commander of the Three Realms. But he was still under the pressure of The Three Pure Ones, and Great Emperor Gou Chen speculated that the ultimate reason the Jade Emperor dared to fake his death and scheme in various ways was probably to free himself from the oppression of The Three Pure Ones above him. The Jade Emperor wanted to be the true Supreme of the Three Realms, truly supreme, rather than having someone still pressing down upon him. “Therefore, Great Emperor, you should now make a choice. I think that Great Emperor Ziwei is loyal and also your brother. I believe that as long as you declare your stance, Great Emperor Ziwei will certainly not reject you. Not only that, but you will still be Great Emperor Gou Chen,” said Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate. He had already been tempted, even if Great Emperor Gou Chen did not seek out Great Emperor Ziwei, he was certainly going to do so. Not for the sake of anyone else, but for the sake of his own life. “Stop talking.” Great Emperor Gou Chen was somewhat angry and glared at Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate, his expression unfriendly. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate gave a wry smile and closed his mouth. He thought Great Emperor Gou Chen was going to refuse, indicating that this path was not viable. If that was the case, he would only be able to follow Lady Houtu and the Jade Emperor to the bitter end. But the problem was that even now the Jade Emperor was gone, nowhere to be found, and it was unknown what he was plotting. To continue following them to the bitter end was simply courting discomfort for himself, and he might end up with a tragic fate. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate inwardly sighed and was about to bid farewell with a bow. “I understand your meaning, let’s not waste words; come with me to seek out Ziwei,” the words of Great Emperor Gou Chen rang in the ears of Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate was slightly startled; he almost thought he had heard wrong. Looking into the eyes of Great Emperor Gou Chen, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate asked, “Your Majesty, what did you just say? I don’t quite understand.” Giving Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate a glance, Great Emperor Gou Chen said impatiently, “I am taking your advice to seek out that fellow Ziwei, to defect to Ziwei, and perhaps it’s also a plea for mercy. Do you understand now?” Taiyi asked, confused, “How did you suddenly see things clearly, Your Majesty?” Great Emperor Gou Chen rolled his eyes, his voice tinged with frustration as he explained, “I have no choice but to see it clearly. Even if the position of Great Heavenly Venerate were offered to me now, I could not take it; the strength is not enough, the power is insufficient, there’s simply no opportunity. I finally understand why the Jade Emperor dared to feign death. If it weren’t for the anomaly of Sun Wukong, even amidst the great chaos of heaven and earth, we Four Heavenly Kings would still not be able to secure the position of Great Heavenly Venerate, and certainly could not suppress the Three Realms.” He sighed, just now realizing this fact. The Jade Emperor had never really considered the Four Heavenly Kings, putting the supreme position of the Three Realms before them without worrying that they could take it away. Indeed, it was true that if it weren’t for the help of Sun Wukong, Great Emperor Ziwei could not have assumed the position of Great Heavenly Venerate; the difference was not minor. After understanding all this, Great Emperor Gou Chen’s resolve crumbled. The position of Supreme of the Three Realms was worthless anyway since he now had no desire for it whatsoever. If one lacks the strength to obtain something, it’s best not to force it; otherwise, it’s just asking for trouble, which could eventually lead to a dire end.
