Chapter 2063: Chapter 1208–1209: Internal and External Threats, Infighting?

“The Jade Emperor, after all, is the Emperor of Heaven. Although he was defeated in a duel with an old-line Daoist Monarch after achieving the rank of Daoist Monarch himself, it cannot be denied that his influence still exists. Even with the bloodline of the Five Emperors’ Imperial Clan supporting him overseas, it is difficult for us to truly gain full support of the power,” explained the Red Flame King, wearing a crown and gently shaking his head.

Even though the Five Emperors’ Imperial Clan has the first mover advantage by staking a claim overseas, the vastness of the overseas territories and the obstruction by the sea mean they cannot occupy everything. One must know that some immortal sects overseas have astonishing power and cannot be underestimated.

The waves are rising on the Five Directions Continent and are certain to sweep over the overseas territories. Due to the expansion of the Five Emperors’ Imperial Clan overseas, there are many rivals with grievances against them, and it is only natural for them to choose to align with the Jade Emperor at this time.

After all, the Jade Emperor is the master of the Heavenly Court, the nominal ruler of the Divine Continent, and many people have high hopes for him.

The Fire Emperor’s eyes revealed an understanding look about the Jade Emperor’s matters, and he nodded slightly. Matters concerning the Jade Emperor were not something they could easily discuss.

The contention between the Jade Emperor and the Human Race Five Emperors is a struggle for authority and interests. However, the Jade Emperor experienced the War of Sealing Gods and led the human race to the pinnacle, embodying the Qi Luck of Heaven and Earth, achieving great merit for the human race. Standing against the Jade Emperor’s descendants does not mean they can easily desecrate the dignity of the Emperor of Heaven, and even without any achievements, a Taoist Monarch cannot be easily humiliated.

“There is no need to worry, Brother Red Flame King. Even by relying on our own hands, we can create our own golden age. The glory of our predecessors is what we need to surpass,” declared the Fire Emperor, full of spirit and grand ambition, having a vision and considering this a rare opportunity.

“Let’s wait a little longer; perhaps the other brothers may arrive. Although there are some disagreements with them and they are not fond of each other, hosting them is necessary. After all, if we can gain their support, Da Ye is promising,” said the Red Flame King, his gaze turning to look overseas.

The Five Emperors’ Imperial Clan appears to be composed of the descendants of the Human Race Five Emperors, but that does not mean they are all united. There are many disputes and conflicts among them.

This is quite natural, as the Human Race Five Emperors, even considered weak among top Daoist Monarchs, when truly compared, are on par with some top immortal sects, possessing unimaginable resources.

Not to mention that these Five Divine Dynasties already gather countless resources.

For the Human Race Five Emperors, they don’t care who establishes the Five Divine Dynasties. All resources remain within their own lineage.

But for the powerful inside the Five Emperors’ imperial court, this is worthy of discussion, as everyone wants to occupy more resources and advance further in cultivation.

You claim you’re the direct line, yet I am also a descendant of the Five Emperors. Why should you hold the position, especially when one enjoys the prosperity on the Five Directions Continent while another arduously opens up territories overseas? This is not equal treatment.

Thus, not everyone is as willing as the Red Flame King to willingly open up overseas islands; some of them are the losers of the struggles within the Five Divine Dynasties, defeated by someone like the Fire Emperor, the ruler of one of the Five Divine Dynasties.

The Red Flame King’s words were not only a reminder for others to consider the bigger picture and not let their anger affect the ongoing plans.

One should know that some Five Emperors’ descendants isolated overseas, although seemingly small in number, are also descendants of the Five Emperors. They equally possess powerful inheritances, directly from the secret techniques and divine abilities of Ancient Human Race powerhouses, granting them unbelievable combat power comparable to some pinnacle existences of the Ancient Human Race. Some have even come into contact with ancient sages of the human race, inheriting ancient sage’s secret techniques, establishing strong forces.

Although overseas is harsh and cold, there are resources different from those on the Five Directions Continent, and combined with overseas training, those strong individuals who once lost are now perhaps not inferior to the strong ones of the Five Divine Dynasties.

“Thank you for your kind words, Brother Red Flame King.” The Fire Emperor understood the other’s meaning.

“Zheng!”

As soon as the words fell, a sword sound rang from afar, resounding through the clear sky, akin to bamboo music lingering in the air with endless reverberation.

“Marquis Bamboo Sword!”

“I didn’t expect Marquis Bamboo Sword to come as well. Let’s hope a conflict doesn’t arise later, or our internal strife will be very embarrassing,” the Red Flame King’s red eyes showed a trace of worry. These people now represent the descendants of the Five Emperors, and internal strife at this time would surely bring ridicule, hindering the recruitment of others and the attraction of more formidable allies.

The initial majority of strong individuals of the overseas lineage were driven by the pioneering ideal. Yet, as time passed and they grew powerful, many also developed their ambitions, wishing to occupy the Five Directions Continent.

Powerful strength is the main factor behind inner changes. Initially unable to remain on the Five Directions Continent due to lesser strength, their power having reached its peak, naturally new thoughts have arisen.

“We too bear the blood of the Five Emperors, and with the Five Emperors’ lineage facing such a crisis, we should enter the fray, control the fate of the Five Emperors’ lineage, and once again usher back the glory of the Five Emperors era.”

“Human race! We are the purest human race, inheriting the most powerful human bloodlines, and now is the time to lead the human race forward again.”

“Originally, the Five Emperors ordered us to pioneer overseas, to intervene during the human race’s crises, averting severe calamities. Now that the Five Divine Dynasties are inadequate, naturally, we must stand out.”

Red Flame King’s mind couldn’t help but recall the many rumors circulating overseas; without the encouragement of some pinnacle forces, such rumors would never spread to the ears of someone as strong as him abroad.

A deep worry loomed in his heart, for if the Five Emperors’ lineage overseas sought power, it would only undermine their foundation!

Marquis Bamboo Sword was the leading supporter of such views, always moving among the various forces, attempting to persuade them to jointly take control of the Five Directions Continent, seize the Five Divine Dynasties, and become the true imperial clan of the human race, rejuvenating the glory of the Five Emperors. The thought of the potentially horrifying situation made the Red Flame King shiver.

As a descendant of the Five Emperors, the Red Flame King did not oppose the return of the Five Emperors’ era, restoring the grandeur and glory of the Five Emperors. He was a major supporter of this.

What worried him was the targets and actions of these people, and if they fought internally for control now, they would only embarrass themselves.

Even if immediate conflict didn’t break out, divided intentions and inability to unite would make it challenging to defeat the Jade Emperor lineage.
