Chapter 1260 - 1208 - 1209 The Pros and Cons of the Appearance of the Holy Position The New World
Seek the Holy Position from Heaven and Earth?
No!
It was to seize the Holy Position from Heaven and Earth, or rather to wrest it away—this was the true Dao of Pei Xuanjing.
Although he desired to be one with Heaven and Earth, to stand in for Heaven and execute the Dao, he also possessed his own tyrannical way. He was a steward of Heaven and Earth, a collaborator, but not submissive to them.
The Holy Position is a status within Heaven and Earth, perhaps even more revered than the position of the Emperor of Heaven in the Heavenly Court, symbolizing the Authority of Heaven and Earth, symbolizing the power to preside over Heaven and Earth, a level above the Authority of Heaven and Earth obtained in the hands of True Immortals like Pei Xuanjing.
If we liken the initial establishment of the Heavenly Court and its melding into Heaven and Earth to a corporate merger, then treating Heaven and Earth as a large corporation, wielding the Authority of Heaven and Earth is merely being a shareholder of the corporation, while a Saint holds a seat in the corporation’s board of directors. Each seat on the board commands supreme Authority; they can dictate the direction of Heaven and Earth with their will.
For the lesser shareholders, to gain a seat on the board requires the recognition and support of the CEO of the corporation, which is the Will of Heaven and Earth. But for the larger shareholders, such a position is their due, beyond the prevention of even the Will of Heaven and Earth.
Along the journey that Pei Xuanjing had taken, the many things he planned and pushed forward were indeed for his own gain, but at the same time, they brought countless benefits to Heaven and Earth, which enabled him to accumulate a considerable amount of Authority of Heaven and Earth at his disposal.
Now, he was an indispensable part of Heaven and Earth. Even if Pei Xuanjing were to leave the Great Ming World, he could freely enter the Chaos Void, only losing a portion of his Authority.
However, for the Great Ming World, Pei Xuanjing’s departure would inevitably take away much, a considerable loss for this side of Heaven and Earth.
