The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

For those Gods willing to relinquish their authority, the Jade Emperor initially cannot act too excessively. Even knowing these individuals are extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, if he is too ruthless, it would evoke a sense of terror among others, prompting them to leave.

However, his actions were at least effective to some extent, as among those he needed to deal with, there were no Taoist Monarchs present. These individuals, even as practitioners of the True Immortal Sixth Layer Heaven, lacked the ability to oppose the Jade Emperor.

But the Great Emperor Ziwei standing before him was different; the Star God lineage was one of the strongest forces within the Heavenly Court. Within this lineage, besides having the Great Emperor Ziwei, who is an Imperial Honors Taoist Monarch, there is also a Fire Virtue Star Lord who is equally a Taoist Monarch.

Even over the years, despite the Great Emperor Ziwei continuously suppressing and covertly oppressing the Fire Virtue Star Lord, the latter has still enlisted many followers by leveraging the power of a Taoist Monarch.

Importantly, the Fire Virtue Star Lord is not merely an Independent Practitioner; there is a Divine Dynasty supporting him, which he has led for millennia. Such a powerful force can completely rival the Great Emperor Ziwei.

If there were only the Fire Virtue Star Lord, that would be fine; as an Imperial Honors holder, suppressing the opponent is perfectly logical and can provide significant advantages.

However, apart from the Fire Virtue Star Lord, the Southern Dipper lineage is highly troublesome. Though originating from the Star God lineage, the Southern Dipper Star Lords never consider themselves subordinates of the Great Emperor Ziwei; they position themselves as followers of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace.

The Southern Dipper Star Lords, under the banner of Longevity Taoist Monarch, openly oppose the Great Emperor Ziwei, even having flirtatious relations with the Fire Virtue Star Lord faction, attracting many Star Gods.

Even now, despite the Longevity Taoist Monarch expressing no stance, his lack of statement is, to some extent, a form of support.

Currently, the Southern Dipper Star Lords, under the guise of tiger skin, have caused those Star Gods initially optimistic about the Great Emperor Ziwei to hesitate, seeming to adopt a neutral stance, which places the Great Emperor Ziwei in a dilemma.

Neutrality has many interpretations.

Your friends’ neutrality, in some aspects, supports your enemies; the neutrality of your enemies’ friends, in some respects, supports you.
