Chapter 1790 - 1736– - 1737: Irreconcilable Conflict
Interests are the most real thing.
Indeed, emotions, ideals, righteousness, and morality have great binding force and can bring many people together.
But all these are temporary. To truly unite, in the end, it still requires common interests.
No matter how it was before, for the six star lords of the Southern Dipper, their interests have already been tied to Pei Xuanjing’s Divine Dao Incarnation, the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life.
In this Divine Continent World and even in the Realms of Heavenly Seas, only the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life can offer them such benefits; no one can offer higher value.
Even if someone really offered a higher price, they would not be pleased, but rather worried in their hearts whether the other party was scheming against them, plotting to betray them.
Once their interests were tied to Pei Xuanjing, they naturally could not change allegiance, so the Fate Controller Star Lord had no hesitation in accepting Pei Xuanjing’s decree, and the other star lords had no doubts upon hearing it.
From their perspective, sometimes having a decree from the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life is better than not having one.
Receiving a decree allows them to do certain things, especially in the current situation, at least proving that they still have value and can be utilized by Pei Xuanjing.
In contrast, if Pei Xuanjing didn’t give them any decree at this time and relied solely on members of the Shenxiao Lineage to act, they might fear in their hearts whether they were still not truly considered insiders and would be abandoned in the upcoming turmoil.
