Chapter 2044: Chapter 1990–1991: The Biggest Loser

“So, does this mean that the Human Race Five Emperors have no choice but to seek our support now?” Pang Hong said with a smile, “It turns out that the Xuantian Sect has no other options at this moment either.”

He suddenly understood why the Xuantian Sect was so eager to exclude the Heterodox Alliance, because they realized they could not pull the Human Race Five Emperors back.

Indeed, it was the intervention of the Heterodox Alliance that made the Human Race Five Emperors start to align with the Taoist School, abandoning the support of the Xuantian Sect, leaving the Xuantian Sect in a dilemma.

However, this was not simply a problem of the Heterodox Alliance but also the choice of the Human Race Five Emperors, especially when the Witch Deity Teaching handed over the Kongtong Seal to the Jade Emperor, leaving the Human Race Five Emperors with no choice.

The members of the Heterodox Alliance were unaware of the specific transactions after the end of this Chaos War, and even Lord Divine Skill Miao Ji did not mention the Kongtong Seal at all.

But Taoist Monarch Xuantian could not possibly have missed this, so at that moment he knew that with the appearance of the Kongtong Seal, the initiative had been lost, not just for the Xuantian Sect, but also for the Human Race Five Emperors.

The Taoist School temporarily gave up the Five Old Lords, placing the initiative in the hands of the Human Race Five Emperors; they could still bargain, even using the name of Xuantian Sect to negotiate for better terms, allowing the Xuantian Sect to pull the strings, half-heartedly joining the alliance.

However, once the Jade Emperor obtained the Kongtong Seal, he naturally would start a war with the Human Race Five Emperors, meaning that even if the Human Race Five Emperors abandoned their ambitions, the Jade Emperor would not allow them to continue growing, especially after they had already exposed their ambitions.

At this time, relying on the Xuantian Sect was no longer viable. If the Taoist School had not shown goodwill before and had not chosen them, they would have had no other way but to rely on the Xuantian Sect, hoping against hope. The result would have been uncertain.

Now that some Taoist Monarchs of the Taoist School have expressed their position, even if not all the Taoist Monarchs clearly accept cooperation, this is still stronger than the power of the Xuantian Sect. Moreover, as long as these Taoist Monarchs join forces, the remaining monarchs will likely gradually get involved.

At this point, the Human Race Five Emperors are in urgent need of the power of the Taoist School. The so-called bargaining is non-existent; not only do they want to use this to extract more demands from the Xuantian Sect, but they also fear that the Taoist School might use this to sign an agreement under more favorable terms.

Thus, the Xuantian Sect cannot serve as a reference, and they have lost the opportunity to set conditions, even their entry into the alliance is filled with uncertainty.

Even if they are extremely dissatisfied with the Human Race Five Emperors and some Taoist Monarchs of the Taoist School, they cannot show it and can only vent their anger on the weakest and most jubilant Heterodox Alliance.

“In this case, the Heterodox Alliance is not wronged,” Yu Zhenzi said with a bit of schadenfreude.

If the Xuantian Sect’s unwarranted humiliation was their fault, then having their plans disrupted by the Heterodox Alliance is understandable, almost losing both the wife and the soldiers; anyone would be dissatisfied, and they are right to be so.

As for those Taoist Monarchs of the Taoist School who were also involved, Yu Zhenzi ignored them as if he hadn’t seen it.

He didn’t want to offend some narrow-minded Taoist Monarchs.

Those Taoist Monarchs may appear as great figures with an ancestral master’s demeanor to ordinary disciples, but those like him who are True Immortals know that eight out of ten are old stubborns and small-minded.

There are bad people among the Taoist Monarchs.

“Does this mean the upcoming situation will be dominated by the Jade Emperor and the Human Race Five Emperors?” Wan Fayi asked curiously, also not commenting on what Yu Zhenzi, the Ancestral Master, had said, switching the topic instead.

If all information is correct, then it’s likely that the Jade Emperor will also take this opportunity to expand his power, poised to clash with the Human Race Five Emperors.

“Aren’t they worried about fighting on two fronts? Hasn’t he completed his control over the Heavenly Court yet?” Pang Hong asked curiously.

The Fire Virtue Star Lord is still in the Heavenly Court, and the Fate Controller is proving the Tao, which seems impossible to settle in a short time.

“This time, the Fire Virtue Star Lord is arguably the biggest loser,” Yu Zhenzi said, shaking his head.

One must know that although it seemed like the Jade Emperor was losing face during this Chaos War, the actual gains were substantial, with the Kongtong Seal on one hand and considerable authority in the Heavenly Court on the other.

It’s important to note that while various forces have influence in the Heavenly Court, some deities remain neutral. This time, to uphold the Heavenly Court’s dignity, the Jade Emperor’s battle with the Witch God Sect Leader won over many hearts.

Originally, the partnership between the Fire Virtue Star Lord and the Witch Deity Teaching was not seen as much by the deities, as it wasn’t related to them; it was considered a power struggle between significant figures.

However, this time, the Ju Mang Ancestor Witch’s refining of the Divine Position concerned the deities greatly, causing ill feelings towards the Witch Deity Teaching. This extended to the closely associated Fire Virtue Star Lord, resulting in guilt by association.

Originally, the Jade Emperor’s reputation, boosted indirectly by the Witch Deity Teaching and Fire Virtue Star Lord, had undoubtedly improved considerably.

Having consolidated authority, the Jade Emperor naturally wouldn’t worry about internal strife and now had the time and strength to act externally. The Human Race Five Emperors undoubtedly were a good choice.

In contrast, the Fire Virtue Star Lord faced not only the confirmation of the Da Xue Country Lord as a Taoist Monarch and the increased power of the Ziwei Great Emperor’s side, but also had his reputation undermined by the Witch Deity Teaching, causing deities to hold a poor view of him. Neutral parties shifted allegiance to the Jade Emperor and other Imperial Honors.
