Chapter 987: The Good, The Bad. And The Ugly.
As she turned to look at them one by one, she said, "None of you are showing enough emotions to indicate joy at the turn of events. In fact, you all seem to treat this like a bad thing."Hearing her words, Tepid Scholar sighed ruefully as he said in reply, "It is not a bad thing. But it is not a completely good thing either."
"On the bright side, the Blessed Heaven World is stronger, and we are stronger for it. With more domains and a bigger size, we now have more power to mobilize from the world."
"But on the bad side, we have now lost a lot of control of the Blessed Heaven World because of the appearance of nine new pathways. Not only has the power that each of us mobilizes been diluted, but the control of the Blessed Heaven World is no longer under the control of the five sects."
Speaking up in agreement, Heavenly Eye said, "There will be a new force in the world now. The previous one was the Dragon Court. I wonder what the new one would be."
"Either way, this is not a good thing for us. With the appearance of a new force, the inhabitants of the Blessed Heaven World won’t have to rely on us to awaken and cultivate. So now we have to compete with the new force for labor, manpower, and disciples."
Tepid Scholar nodded his head and said, "It is a competition we will lose too because the leader of this new force is the will of the world, and they will have nine pathways at their disposal while all of us have a combined total of nine pathways."
"So not only is it impossible for each of us to defeat this new organization on our own, but it is also impossible for us to defeat it working together. We will be lucky if we can achieve a stalemate with it."
Then he asked Green Fire, saying, "How can we be happy about this situation?"
Before Green Fire could reply, Martial Will said in displeasure, "It is like the time we had to band together against the Four Directions Sect in the Central Domain, but worse."
In an attempt to cheer him up, Sword Maestro said, "The good news is that the Four Directions Sect will be on our side this time around, and it will be so weak that any assistance from it will be minimal."
After hearing this, Martial Will chuckled and said, "It is good news."
Then he said in amazement to Sword Maestro, "I’m impressed. You seem to be on a roll with your jokes."
Sword Maestro smiled and said, with false humility, "It is not me. I just have a good source material to work with. Nothing beats material as good as the downfall of a man who used to be great."
As soon as Martial Will and Heavenly Eye heard this, they began to laugh. Only Tepid Scholar and the three newcomers were not laughing.
The other three Dao Lords were not laughing because they were confused by what Sword Will said. They didn’t understand the inside joke and could only watch on.
