333: Chapter 196 Gou Chen Submits_5 333: Chapter 196 Gou Chen Submits_5 Since I am ultimately the victor, why should I be unrelenting even when I’m in the right?
With this thought, Great Emperor Ziwei’s expression softened even more.
Gou Chen saw the change in his countenance and knew what Great Emperor Ziwei was thinking.
At that moment, Gou Chen really wanted to turn around and leave.
But he also knew that it would be an absolutely immature thing to do.
Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun cast a glance at Gou Chen Great Emperor and, seeing that he wasn’t angry, sighed with relief.
Taiyi had been worried that Gou Chen Great Emperor would simply walk away, which would put him in an awkward position.
Now that Gou Chen Great Emperor was not leaving, he was at ease.
Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, we have just received news that the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole now serves under Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s subordinate, Shao Siming, and personally has connections with Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s Senior Commander-in-Chief.”
This statement shocked everyone present.
Nobody had expected the news delivered by Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun to be so explosive.
The Longevity Great Emperor of the mighty South Pole was actually serving under Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, which was quite astonishing indeed.
Great Emperor Ziwei’s expression turned solemn as he asked in a heavy voice, “Is this true?”
Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun nodded vigorously, saying, “It is absolutely true, Your Majesty.
I dare not lie or deceive the heavens.
The reason Gou Chen Great Emperor and I have changed our minds is precisely because of this.”
No wonder Great Emperor Ziwei looked somewhat grave.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “What do my lords think?”
Yang Jian stepped forward and said solemnly, “Yang Jian proposes the execution of the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole.”
“That’s not advisable.”
Just then, Gou Chen Great Emperor suddenly spoke up.
All eyes turned to him.
Facing their gazes, Gou Chen Great Emperor coldly said, “Yang Jian, you are being overly impetuous.
Do you know the strength of that Shao Siming?
With her current alliance with the Tathagata, if you kill Longevity Great Emperor and provoke her wrath, who among you can withstand her if she strikes against the Heavenly Court?”
Yang Jian said in a heavy voice, “With the multitude of masters in the Ziwei Heavenly Court, can we not withstand a mere Shao Siming?”
He knew of Shao Siming’s strength but didn’t believe that she alone could suppress the entire Ziwei Heavenly Court.
“Heh, a frog in a well knows nothing of the ocean’s depths.”
Gou Chen Great Emperor looked at him with disdain.
Yang Jian’s eyes widened, ready to explode in anger.
But Sun Wukong held him back and said solemnly, “Brother, don’t be hasty.
Gou Chen Great Emperor is correct; it would indeed be best not to provoke Shao Siming for now.”
Yang Jian’s expression showed disbelief as he looked at Sun Wukong, surprised that Wukong would say such a thing.
Yang Jian was very clear about Wukong’s character.
Given any chance to suppress Shao Siming, he would not hesitate to support action against the Longevity Great Emperor.
Since Wukong, who had fought with Shao Siming, was stopping him, it was a clear indication of the situation.
It seemed that he had underestimated Shao Siming.
With this realization, Yang Jian said in a deep voice, “I have misunderstood the Great Emperor.”
“Heh heh.”
Gou Chen Great Emperor chuckled coldly, still wearing a look of disdain.
“Yang Jian, do not think that because of your exceptional talent and the title of the top War God of the Three Realms, you understand everything.
There are too many things in the Three Realms that you do not know about.
Your meager strength is nothing but dregs in the eyes of the truly powerful.”
Yang Jian smiled faintly, unfazed by Gou Chen Great Emperor’s sarcasm.
“The Great Emperor’s lesson is well taken.
Yang Jian has learned,” he said.
Gou Chen Great Emperor was slightly taken aback; he did not expect Yang Jian to be completely unangered by his taunts.
Despite this, Yang Jian still accepted his words.
This softened Gou Chen Great Emperor’s expression a bit, and he nodded, saying, “At least that’s commendable.
Being able to listen to the advice of an elder is beneficial for you.”
Yang Jian bowed slightly and stepped back.
“Given the circumstances, we shall not target the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole for now but will retract the divine powers from those in the outer realms first,” decided Great Emperor Ziwei.
Then he turned his gaze to Gou Chen Great Emperor and Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun.
Gou Chen Great Emperor was cool and fearless, meeting Great Emperor Ziwei’s gaze without concern about how he might be dealt with.
After all, as brothers born of the same mother, even if things were not ideal, Great Emperor Ziwei would not actually kill him.
Meanwhile, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun was somewhat agitated, unsure of what awaited him.
He was visibly nervous, restless as he stood there.
Then Great Emperor Ziwei finally spoke, “Gou Chen Great Emperor, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun, since you have now pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Court, we will overlook the past.
From now on, you shall still hold the titles of Gou Chen Great Emperor and Easternmost Land Qing Hua Great Emperor, respectively.
What say you?”
“Indeed so,” declared Gou Chen Great Emperor brazenly.
From his demeanor, it hardly seemed as though he was submitting to Great Emperor Ziwei; rather, it was as if it were Great Emperor Ziwei who was submitting to him.
However, Great Emperor Ziwei did not take issue with this.
After all, he was dealing with his own brother, and there could be no question of killing him.
Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun, on the other hand, was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude to Great Emperor Ziwei.
“Thank you, Ziwei Heavenly Venerate.”
His position in the Heavenly Court had always been that of the Easternmost Land Qing Hua Great Emperor.
Now that Great Emperor Ziwei had reinstated him as the Easternmost Land Qing Hua Great Emperor, he faced no punishment and still held sway over his original divine powers.
Understandably, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun was thrilled, and his heart settled once more.
“That’s settled, then.
If there’s anything else in the future, just summon me.
Farewell.”
With that, Gou Chen Great Emperor turned and left.
Obviously, becoming a subordinate to Great Emperor Ziwei was quite uncomfortable for him.
