The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Initially, regarding the position of the Heavenly Gate’s leader, according to Fire Virtue Star Lord and others, they wished Pei Xuanjing, the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, to take up the role, but Pei Xuanjing had no interest in becoming the leader of the Heavenly Gate.

He used the excuse that the expansion plan was driven by the Heavenly Court, and as the master of the Heavenly Court in the Great Ming World, nominally the most revered Emperor of Heaven was the only one qualified for the position.

Therefore, even though the Jade Emperor had not yet descended, the position of the leader of the Heavenly Gate was still reserved for him. The other Star Lords merely took on the title of deputy leaders. Chosen explicitly by Pei Xuanjing, Wood Virtue Star Lord served as the first deputy leader, managing everything.

Of course, these other forces were unaware of this; they merely observed the situation and were curious, thinking that the Lord of Fire was not adept at mundane matters, and that this Wood Venerate was merely a spokesperson like any other power.

Regarding the vacancy of the Heavenly Gate’s leader, they came to their own understanding that according to the rules of this world, the head of such a powerful position should be held by the strongest.

While this Lord of Fire was powerful, many Great Ancient Emperors knew that there was a more potent overlord behind the scenes, so this entity should be the rightful leader.

Although their guesses were somewhat mistaken, they indeed pieced together a complete prototype of power, unaware whether this would be good or bad for their future decisions.

However, these Great Ancient Emperors had their own motives and plans for allowing the establishment of the Heavenly Gate. Now that the Heavenly Gate had its own territory and base, their messengers continuously appeared outside the Heavenly Gate’s base, eager to negotiate and even test the true intentions and thoughts of their counterparts.

"Fate Controller Star Lord, how should we deal with these people?" asked Wood Virtue Star Lord, the current deputy leader of the Heavenly Gate, seeking advice from Fate Controller Star Lord.

After they had taken over everything from the Myriad Laws Building, the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, Pei Xuanjing, began fulfilling his promise to help Fire Virtue Star Lord refine his Fire Spirit Bead.
