Chapter 1886 -s 1832–1833: Ignorant and Utterly Foolish
"What are Dongji and Gou Chen thinking? Are they still wavering?" Emperor Jade asked Great Emperor Ziwei about the thoughts of the other two Imperial Honors.
Currently, the two of them are allies, at least for now sharing common interests, and temporarily inseparable.
Besides trying to win over various forces and competing with those newly ascended Dao Lords for the alliance’s leadership, they must also find ways to deepen their own power and enhance their influence.
Even if they somewhat look down upon the cautious demeanor of those newly ascended Dao Lords, the fact that these Dao Lords could form such an alliance without choosing to pledge allegiance to the veteran Daoist Monarchs proves they have some capability.
Moreover, no matter how lacking in ability, you can say their methods have some issues, but the power of a Dao Lord is undeniable. Even the weakest Dao Lord is among the pinnacle of combat power in this world.
The two of them have established themselves as Dao Lords, each wielding supreme divine abilities, qualifying them to battle veteran Daoist Monarchs, and many of these newly ascended Dao Lords are no match for them.
However, this does not mean they can easily seize control of this newly ascended Dao Lord alliance; they are still far from that. Even without considering the influence of the alliance cultivated by the opposition over many years, the pure power of several newly ascended Dao Lords combined is not something easily challenged.
Thus, Emperor Jade and Great Emperor Ziwei instinctively set their sights on the other two Imperial Honors, seeing that both Great Emperor Qinghua and Emperor Gouchen have common interest goals with them, at least regaining control of the Heavenly Court would be a substantial benefit for them.
If they can get these two Imperial Honors to join them now, it wouldn’t only be a force against the veteran Daoist Monarchs but also a strengthening of their alliance group.
If the four Dao Lord-tier Imperial Honors join forces, agreeing to advance and retreat together, then they could maneuver freely within this Dao Lord alliance, whether to seize leadership of the alliance or remain independent and uninfluenced by others, it would be an excellent choice.
Although in the past there were many conflicts and contradictions between Emperor Jade and these two Imperial Honors, Great Emperor Ziwei’s relationship with those two was relatively harmonious, especially when they once joined forces to balance Emperor Jade.
"Still wavering; even though many promises have been made, these two remain noncommittal." Great Emperor Ziwei recalled his discussions with these two, a slightly impatient expression appearing on his face.
Since his return to the Heavenly Court, beyond continuously eroding control over the Authority of Celestial Stars and striving to procure the allegiance of all Star Gods, he has been persistently persuading these two Imperial Honors.
