The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

These people remained silent here, not taking immediate action to follow the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch in condemning Star God Ding Ce. In fact, their silence had already shown their lack of absolute loyalty to the Jade Emperor.

Loyalty that is not absolute is absolutely not loyalty.

Regardless of whether the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch was among the Jade Emperor Zhu Houji’s confidants, from the perspective of the Jade Emperor, when the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch exposed this matter and openly reproached the intentions to accuse Star God Ding Ce of using public office for private gain, he undoubtedly defended the interests of both the Jade Emperor Zhu Houji and the Heavenly Court.

Those who did not act, instead standing by indifferently, were revealing that they actually had their own agendas, not fully safeguarding the interests of the Jade Emperor.

They watched the two factions struggle, quietly observing the direction of the wind and waiting to choose the most advantageous side to align with. This was their true goal, best suited for their interests, yet loyal only to their own gains.

Such actions and behavior made it understandable why Jade Emperor Zhu Houji could not regard these individuals as trusted confidants.

"It seems that the former court of His Majesty the Jade Emperor was not truly united."

"The Great Ming Divine Dynasty initially had common interests and external threats, so naturally they had to stick together for warmth. But times have changed."

"Back then, it was a member of the royal family who ascended the throne. Without the support of the Longevity Taoist Monarch and the control afforded by the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty would not have known such peace."

"Within any Sect, there is a plethora of factions and conflicts of interest. How could his Great Ming Divine Dynasty possibly remain unaffected? The more they suppressed dissent with the Golden Book and Jade Scroll and their power, the more severe the backlash would be today. If not for the constraints of the Gods Sealing List and the presence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, internal fights over interests within their own ranks might have erupted."

"From this perspective, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven’s desire to consolidate authority over the Heavenly Court is indeed fraught with obstacles."

"Emperor of Heaven, just be a good mascot; why bother with so many ideas?"
