Chapter 1669 - 1616 - 1617_2
But Yu Zhenzi was equally aware that if this matter were to leak out, even if he personally told these people, very few among them would actually believe it.
It was not that they were untrustworthy, but the series of impacts triggered by this matter made it difficult for them to believe, or rather, it was not up to them to decide to believe. Instead of believing it was a casual act by those above them, they were more inclined to believe that it involved some plan or scheme, which conformed more to their own understanding.
Often, people prefer to believe what they believe, they have their interpretations of the unknown and intangible existences and are not easily swayed, especially when it involves their personal interests.
"Thinking too much sometimes is not only useless but also detrimental to one’s cultivation," Pei Xuanjing commented on these people’s thoughts.
Having plans and making preparations in advance is indeed a good attitude, but anything is grounded on the foundation of one’s own strength. In the Transcendent World, any strategy ultimately requires strength to be implemented.
Only when one’s own strength is formidable enough can one stand firm regardless of any changes in circumstances; conversely, if one’s strength is insufficient, no amount of preparation will be meaningful.
Pei Xuanjing had indeed discovered the schemes of the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei, but what of it.
Since he had invited the Jade Emperor to participate in this trial, promising that if the other party was capable of taking the Great Law Decree Technique, he would definitely not obstruct, Pei Xuanjing naturally would not break his promise.
No matter what method the Jade Emperor used, since he had succeeded, Pei Xuanjing would definitely not stop him.
As for the betrayal of Great Emperor Ziwei, in Pei Xuanjing’s view, it was only natural.
People stand in different positions and thus see things differently; as one’s position changes, so too do their needs.
Formerly, Great Emperor Ziwei was merely put forward by Taoist Monarch Tianji as a spokesperson for the interests of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion. Sitting in this position allowed him to secure his benefits and provide conveniences for the Sky Mechanism Pavilion; naturally, he would be fully dedicated because he knew he was replaceable.
