Chapter 1885 -s 1830–1831: Imperial Honors Thoughts, The Fisherman Gains_2
On the other hand, these Imperial Honors, the newly ascended Dao Lords now stand out, causing the world’s situation to change, thoroughly harming the interests of the Purple Mansion Sect and the Purple Mansion True Monarch. It would be strange if they didn’t hate us.
Therefore, whether from a rational or emotional perspective, they are actually more inclined towards the veteran Daoist Monarchs. As long as those top immortal sects promise not to touch the interests of the Dragon Saliva Realm, they would naturally side with the veteran Daoist Monarchs and not choose to align with the Jade Emperor and others.
"Indeed, we made a choice out of desperation. If it weren’t for the situation forcing us, we wouldn’t have chosen to break away at this moment," the Jade Emperor also realized, thinking carefully, he said, "Those who lean towards us now aren’t the ones who have vested interests."
In a different position, looking from the perspective of the Purple Mansion Sect, he would make a similar choice.
In fact, isn’t he the same, being the puppet Emperor of Heaven is not something new, but why was he indifferent back then, only to decide to break away now, cutting off all escape routes.
Besides self-attesting as a Taoist Monarch, believing his own strength to be sufficient, it was also due to reasons of interest.
Even though restrained in the past, and authority could not be truly enacted, the Expansion Plan of the Heavenly Court brought immense benefits. The interests gained from his position were far exceeded, and it wouldn’t have been wise to break up then.
But now, as the Expansion Plan of the Heavenly Court reaches a bottleneck, the benefits are constantly decreasing, and naturally, one wants to seek other ways to gain benefits.
"Innovation requires striving. If one could live comfortably, no one would be willing to strive," the Great Emperor Ziwei said coldly.
In the eyes of some people, his current position is something many desire, but only those who truly sit in this position can understand its discomfort.
