Chapter 1887 - 1832 - 1833 Meaningless, Utterly Stupid_2
Therefore, from their standpoint, they actually do not care about how much capability these Imperial Honors possess; in fact, they do not even require these Imperial Honors to be capable. On the contrary, the more capable the Imperial Honors are, the more they are able to grasp authority, which instead brings their wariness.
The Jade Emperor is such a case, he is a symbol of their compromise, because he lacks any reliance and cannot completely rule the Heavenly Court.
He is the same, even though he has the backing of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, not to mention whether the Taoist Monarch Tianji and the Sky Mechanism Pavilion are willing to get involved in muddy waters, even with their full support, the other veteran Daoist Monarchs would not be willing.
No one is willing to add a shackle to themselves, rules are set for others, they are never meant to bind oneself.
For these Daoist Monarchs, the purpose of establishing the Heavenly Court is to seize more benefits, not to let the Heavenly Court govern themselves. If such a day really comes, that would truly overturn the Heavenly Stem.
Thus, even if one day the Jade Emperor is deposed, whether he, the Great Emperor Ziwei, ascends the throne or not, or whoever ascends, they remain a puppet, and all who wish to grasp authority will continue to be suppressed by those veteran Daoist Monarchs.
Having understood this, the Great Emperor Ziwei realizes clearly that under the current system, the authority he holds has reached its limit.
This limit is not due to his ability but because it is the extent that those veteran Daoist Monarchs can tolerate. Going beyond this limit would cross their red line, inviting their suppression.
From one perspective, the authority held by this Great Emperor Ziwei far surpasses that of the Emperor Jade, and the position of the Emperor Jade is constantly under vigilant surveillance.
To truly gain more authority without any suppression, he must break the shackles imposed by the Daoist Monarchs, like the Jade Emperor did. Only by truly achieving this can one avoid suppression.
