334: Chapter 196: Gou Chen Submits (6) 334: Chapter 196: Gou Chen Submits (6) Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate let out an awkward laugh and quickly explained, “Great Emperor Gou Chen is just like that, please forgive his offense, Great Heavenly Venerate.”
Great Emperor Ziwei smiled faintly and, watching the retreating figure of Great Emperor Gou Chen, he calmly said, “You seem to have forgotten that he is my elder brother.
What kind of person he is, I understand better than you do.
Easternmost Qing Hua Great Emperor, rest assured, I won’t blame Great Emperor Gou Chen.”
Taiyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He also took his leave from Great Emperor Ziwei and returned to his Divine Mansion.
Those like them who held divine authority rarely left their own Divine Mansions and did not need to attend court.
They only needed to come when summoned by the Great Heavenly Venerate.
“Taibai, announce to the Three Realms that Great Emperor Gou Chen and Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate have pledged allegiance, and let the Three Realms celebrate together,” said Great Emperor Ziwei with a smile.
Once this announcement was made, there would be no way for Great Emperor Gou Chen and Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate to retract their allegiance.
They could only follow Great Emperor Ziwei to the end.
Gold Star Taibai naturally understood the intent of Great Emperor Ziwei.
With a slight smile, he immediately went to make arrangements.
Soon, the announcement from the Ziwei Heavenly Court was heard throughout the Three Realms.
Great Emperor Gou Chen and Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate had pledged allegiance to the Ziwei Heavenly Court.
This news caused a stir throughout the Three Realms.
Everyone knew of the discord between Great Emperor Gou Chen and Great Emperor Ziwei, and now he had surprisingly pledged allegiance to Great Emperor Ziwei; everyone almost thought they had heard wrong or were having hallucinations from over-cultivation.
Many were waiting for Great Emperor Gou Chen to refute the announcement.
Yet, from Gou Chen Heaven Palace, news was confirmed that the announcement was true—Great Emperor Gou Chen had indeed pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Court.
At the same time, it was declared that the Ziwei Heavenly Court was the rightful and universally acknowledged rule of Heaven, urging all immortals and divine beings to follow Great Emperor Gou Chen’s example and pledge allegiance to Ziwei Heavenly Court as soon as possible, to stabilize the Three Realms.
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Nobody expected such a statement to come from within Gou Chen Heaven Palace.
This meant that Great Emperor Gou Chen recognized the legitimacy of Ziwei Heavenly Court and had also pledged his allegiance to it.
Some speculated that since Great Emperor Gou Chen and Great Emperor Ziwei were brothers, past disputes were likely just temporary emotions and they were still family in the end.
Others felt that Great Emperor Gou Chen, due to the incident of Puhua Heavenly Venerate’s death, saw the reality of the situation and knew that he was no match for Great Emperor Ziwei.
He gave up the struggle for the position of Great Heavenly Venerate and pledged allegiance to Great Emperor Ziwei instead.
However, regardless of the speculations, the Ziwei Heavenly Court, under Great Emperor Ziwei, was now the true Heavenly Court of the Three Realms and had been acknowledged by all gods.
The old members of the Heavenly Court, who had been hesitant, indeed came to pledge their support.
Only a very few of the old Heavenly Court members remained indecisive.
Some pledged allegiance to Lady Houtu, and others went to the abode of the Longevity Great Emperor.
When Lady Houtu heard about Great Emperor Gou Chen’s allegiance, she was not the least bit surprised, as though she had long anticipated it.
“Now, even Gou Chen has gone over to their side, can you still sit still?
Do you really have such confidence that even if Great Emperor Ziwei becomes the true Great Heavenly Venerate, you are not worried?” Lady Houtu murmured to herself, unsure if she was speaking to herself or to someone else.
The corners of her mouth curved upward slightly, showing a hint of a smile, but her eyes were cold.
No one knew what she was thinking, everyone was in the dark.
Just like Lady Houtu had no idea what the Jade Emperor was thinking anymore.
In Mount Ling, Tathagata turned his gaze upon hearing that Great Emperor Gou Chen had pledged allegiance to Great Emperor Ziwei, and he couldn’t help but sigh.
“Do you feel the pressure increasing?” Jin Chan asked with a smile.
In five years, he had advanced to the realm of Great Heavenly Venerate.
At this moment, within Mount Ling, he was indeed the Second Buddha Ancestor, both in terms of strength and status.
Hearing Jin Chan’s words, Tathagata smiled faintly and said, “Indeed, there’s some pressure, but that’s all.
Don’t tell me you think I’m scared?”
Jin Chan smiled faintly and said, “Now that the Buddhist Sect has seventy percent of its power with Amitabha Buddha, and we at Mount Ling have, at most, thirty percent.
Plus, now that Ziwei Heavenly Court is growing ever stronger, if you say you’re not under pressure, I don’t believe it.
Master, I advise you to think about it.
Why not pledge allegiance to Ziwei Heavenly Court?
At least it will ensure you don’t end miserably.”
Tathagata glanced at Jin Chan and laughed coldly, saying, “Don’t talk like that.
I have never taken Ziwei Heavenly Court seriously.
It was the case in the past and remains so now.
If it weren’t for the fear of The Three Pure Ones causing trouble, I could topple Ziwei Heavenly Court by myself.”
“Bluffing,” Jin Chan said with a look of disdain.
Even the Jade Emperor wouldn’t dare to speak like that.
Now, Tathagata’s braggadocio had reached new bounds.
“In that case, why don’t you join me in challenging Ziwei Heavenly Court?” A gentle voice rang out.
Shao Siming had arrived.
Still in her white garment and barefoot, yet she was supremely dignified.
On her perfectly beautiful face, there was a touch of coldness.
Tathagata Buddha swallowed hard, not out of interest in Lady Shao Siming’s appearance, but because he was shocked by her words.
Great Emperor Ziwei hadn’t even started troubling him, and now Shao Siming was planning to cause trouble for Great Emperor Ziwei.
Wasn’t this looking for trouble for himself?
Challenge Ziwei Heavenly Court?
Now, who would dare to say such a thing.
Just now, he was truly just bluffing,
“We’re no match,” Tathagata honestly stated.
Glaring at Tathagata, Shao Siming said discontentedly, “Then why did you talk so big just now?”
“Can’t I even brag a little?” Tathagata responded with composure.
Shao Siming: “...”
Then, she chuckled and said, “However, I indeed intend to take action against Ziwei Heavenly Court.
Not just you and me, there is another who wishes to act.
We’ll try to kill that fellow, Great Emperor Ziwei.
That way, Ziwei Heavenly Court will definitely collapse.”
Another person?
Seeing Shao Siming’s confidence, it seemed she was certain about this individual.
A name came to Tathagata’s mind and slipped out of his mouth.
“Jade Emperor.”
Shao Siming looked at him approvingly and said with a smile, “I must say, although you folks aren’t all that strong, you’re smarter than we were back in our era.
You’re right; it’s indeed the Jade Emperor.”
