Chapter 1805 -s 1750-1751: Weighing_2
The Wood Virtue Star Lord is not someone who is oblivious to the current situation, unable to distinguish between advantages and disadvantages, or greedy enough to want to grasp everything in his hands. The instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm from years of being an independent practitioner has already been imprinted in his bones.
Even though he knows that what he currently holds is crucial to the future and holds great benefits, he understands better that the greater the benefits, the greater the danger. Since he can no longer control it, he naturally has to give it up.
No one can have it all; previously, when threats hadn’t appeared, he could act low-key. Now that he has drawn attention, wanting something for nothing is mere self-deception.
The Wood Virtue Star Lord’s decisiveness is vividly apparent at this moment. He knows that since the other party has set their sights on his Wood Dao Authority, they will certainly not let it go easily. If he wishes to keep this authority, he must fight to the death with Ju Mang and the Qingling Primordial Lord.
This is a struggle for the Great Tao, not one easily compromised, and the other side will surely not give up.
If only faced with two ordinary opponents at the True Immortal Sixth Heaven, it would be fine. The Wood Virtue Star Lord would not fear them and would not easily relinquish the Wood Dao Authority in his hands.
However, he understands that either side has the support of a Taoist Monarch, a force he cannot contend with, and there isn’t even a choice to ally the weak to defeat the strong, as any alliance would be devoured by the other.
Rather than being swallowed without room for maneuver, it’s better to proactively trade the Wood Dao Authority for sufficient benefits.
This is the immediate thought of the Wood Virtue Star Lord.
After all, he has room for choices. The value of the Wood Dao Authority is indeed enormous, affecting the strength of his future attainment in the Tao. However, the Path of Life and Death is fundamental; if he refuses to give up the authority, he might not even have the chance to prove himself as a Taoist Monarch.
