Chapter 833 -783: The Crowd Goes Wild
The Witch Deity Teaching sought to regain their ritual authority and asked the Emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty to restore their status as the main sacrificers of the witch sacrifice lineage.
This news spread in an instant throughout the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the entire Daming World, and even the Sky Wasteland, following the moment Zhu Houji raised the topic during a morning meeting of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
After all, there is no wall under heaven that doesn’t leak wind, and this time Zhu Houji did not even bother to keep it a secret; by directly addressing the matter at the Court, he indicated that there was no chance of it being concealed or stopped.
Wow! The crowd was instantly in turmoil.
Setting aside the Sky Wasteland and the various forces of the Daming World, just within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty itself, or rather on that day at the Court, officials, Council Elders, Civil Officials and military officers, and royals all reacted differently, each with their own stance.
Nonetheless, this matter undoubtedly cast a huge stone upon the previously tranquil Court, immediately stirring up a great wave.
Over countless years of development, the Confucian Gate had grown immensely powerful, to an inconceivable extent. Even after the Divine Dynasty’s ascension and these individuals were ordained and stepped onto the Divine Tao, they still regarded themselves as disciples of the Confucian Gate, holding fast to rites and laws.
Just as Zhu Houji and Wu Shijiu had anticipated, once this issue was raised, countless officials objected, especially those Civil Officials who had risen through the imperial examination. They saw this as the Witch Deity Teaching encroaching on their rights. They hysterically presented their case to Zhu Houji, claiming it posed a danger to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, that the Witch Deity Teaching had ulterior motives. At that moment, they seemed to have forgotten how, at first, they had vigorously promoted the assistance and role of the Witch Deity Teaching in supporting the Great Ming Divine Dynasty when it was fostered by them.
The saying goes that times change, and when they found their own interests threatened, they naturally shifted their stance, no longer adhering to that of the past.
