Chapter 1378 - 1326-1327: Launch Simulation
All beings in the Divine Land World, if they make contributions to the Heavenly Court’s expansion plan, should receive their own share of benefits in return. This is one of the principles of the Heavenly Court, and no one may breach it.
Not even Pei Xuanjing could do so, nor could any of the many Imperial Honors or other True Immortals. They could not break this rule either.
This principle is the foundation upon which the Heavenly Court was established. Only by maintaining fairness can the cultivators of the Heavenly Court unite under a common, grand objective, forming a foundation of trust that enables them to band together.
If even these basic rules cannot be upheld, allowing the powerful to break them at will and lose mutual trust, then how could they cooperate?
Pei Xuanjing relinquished command of the new world and stepped aside, ceding a portion of the benefits that rightfully belonged to him. This was his stance, a declaration to the other powers.
However, this does not mean he intended to undermine the interests of the Shenxiao Sect disciples. Without sufficient reason, Pei Xuanjing could not ask the sect’s disciples to make undue sacrifices for his benefit, even if these disciples didn’t mind and were willing to sacrifice. But Pei Xuanjing would not allow this.
To him, he had inadvertently shouldered many things along his journey, assuming many identities. As of now, he was no longer alone; he had his own disciples and followers.
Even though Pei Xuanjing didn’t really need them, they existed there, and Pei Xuanjing could not deny it. He basked in the disciples’ reverence and admiration. So, at this time, Pei Xuanjing also had to protect their interests, an unavoidable duty of his own.
Therefore, even though Pei Xuanjing gave up some benefits, his choice would not impact the actions of these Shenxiao disciples. Perhaps because of his decision, other powers, out of respect for Pei Xuanjing, might even need to respond with favors, reciprocating in kind.
After all, although Pei Xuanjing’s planning involved his own strategies, the interests he relinquished were real. As beneficiaries, the other powers needed to show their stance.
