Chapter 1216 - 1164 - 1165 Trial Ends, The Greed of the Strong_2
"Once the Heavenly Court becomes the orthodox authority, then even Supreme Overlords, if they do not hold a certain Divine Position and Authority within the Heavenly Court, would likely be ostracized by the many True Immortals, unable to dominate the situation of Heaven and Earth," Zhu Houji thought to himself.
He had made numerous forecasts about this future situation, even in conjunction with Bai Xiaosheng’s calculations and had vaguely inquired Pei Xuanjing about it.
According to the currently unfolding situation, in the future, many True Immortals will operate behind the scenes, turning the Heavenly Court into the greatest ruler between Heaven and Earth, around which everything will revolve.
These True Immortals have great power and can stand at the pinnacle of Heaven and Earth, even without a Divine Position.
Yet, even as Supreme Overlords, without a Divine Position and not being part of the Heavenly Court, they will naturally be ostracized in the future and be unable to share in future benefits.
This is a selection, a reshuffling, where if one fails to occupy a favorable position, they will lose their place and authority in the future.
"Surely no strong figure who has reached this point, each with enough wisdom, would be foolish enough to not see the core of the future and, without the ability to become a True Immortal, give up the authority of a Divine Position, right?" Zhu Houji shook his head, dismissing the thought as he did not believe any power would be so foolish.
If any strong figure really were to reach this point, they would not only be mocked by other powerful beings but also completely lose their qualifications to stand at the summit.
When there was no Heavenly Court, the True Immortals ruled everything and, although there were strong and weak figures outside of them, it was fundamentally an identity.
However, when the Heavenly Court exists, with the support of True Immortals and recognition from the Will of the Heaven and Earth, then it is the orthodox force, representing Heaven and Earth.
Strong figures without a position within the Heavenly Court are like temples without Divine Dynasty’s decree, considered obscene worship of heterodox gods and unacknowledged.
"Either become a True Immortal or a part of the Heavenly Court, there is no other choice; otherwise, one is heterodox and not recognized by the orthodoxy," Zhu Houji said coldly. This was a battle for authority, a struggle for legitimacy that absolutely cannot change.
