CHAPTER 592: CHAPTER 378: ACTING AS HEAVEN’S PUNISHER_2

The most crucial fact is that Emperor Jun possesses such strength, and the Demon Clan together with the Heavenly Court also possess such power.

A highly dominant ruler of the Primordial Continent may be a good thing for the Primordial World.

However, for the various forces and races on the Primordial Continent, it is not necessarily a good thing.

Jieyin Saint understands this, yet he remains silent. He believes in The Three Pure Ones, trusting that their strategy would not simply be in vain.

At this moment, the expression of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun is calm, but deep inside he also feels the pressure.

He, too, believes that Emperor Jun is a suitable candidate to control the imperial authority of the Primordial Continent, but there is one point that greatly reduces Emperor Jun’s chances of controlling it.

That is, the current Heavenly Realm is entirely under the control of Emperor Jun.

With this alone, it is very difficult for Emperor Jun to control the power of the Primordial Continent unless The Three Pure Ones give up their current plan, and the other Saints do the same, only then would Emperor Jun have such an opportunity.

Thinking this, the gaze of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun could not help but fall on Taiching Laozi.

At this time, although the expressions of The Three Pure Ones were still very grim, the anger in their hearts had dissipated.

They understand that their anger cannot solve the problem, nor can it impose deterrence, and it might even become a joke.

Faced with Lady Ping Xin’s questioning, none of The Three Pure Ones responded because what Lady Ping Xin said was the truth, witnessed by many Saints; there was no need for further argument.

The important issue now is the matter of power over the Primordial Continent.

The exchange of Divine Sense among The Three Pure Ones had never stopped; they still wanted to fight for control of the Primordial Continent.

Even the name "Immortal Court" was something they did not wish to change.

This was the result of a significant price paid by Taiching Saint; naturally, it could not fall into the hands of others.

As their exchange continued, the unpleasant expressions of The Three Pure Ones gradually disappeared, returning to calm once more.

Taiching Saint, with a calm demeanor, slowly said, "What Lady Ping Xin has said is reasonable; Emperor Jun and the Demon Clan indeed have made significant contributions to the Primordial."

"But is the vast Primordial World only comprised of the beings of Emperor Jun and the Demon Clan?"

"Does the existence of Emperor Jun and the Demon Clan mean that we, as well as the other beings of the Primordial, cannot make contributions to the Primordial World?"

As Taiching Saint said this, he suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, and said, "Please enlighten us, Master, do we have the opportunity to make contributions to the Primordial World?"

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun looked at Taiching Saint calmly and said, "If any being of the Primordial World is willing, then they all have this opportunity."

Hearing the answer from Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, Taiching Saint couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun had sided with Emperor Jun, that would have been an irreversible matter.

Now, it seems that Master has not chosen Emperor Jun.

In an instant, Taiching Saint completely relaxed, bowed again, and said, "Thank you, Master, for resolving my confusion."

After speaking, he sat back down on his mat.

The other Saints pondered upon hearing Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s answer.

Despite the considerable advantages of Emperor Jun and the Demon Clan, they still had not been chosen by Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun.

At this time, Lady Ping Xin’s gaze towards Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun was filled with doubt.

Taiching Saint knew that this was just the beginning.

If it were only a matter of obtaining approval from Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, he would not have called all the Saints here.

He continued to speak slowly: "We The Three Pure Ones are not the rulers of the Immortal Court, nor are all the beings within the Immortal Court from our three teachings."

"Just as Master said earlier, whoever has the will has the opportunity to make contributions to the Primordial Continent and to obtain Merit."

Taiching Saint said, emphasizing particularly on the last two words.

Because within the Heavenly Court, beings of the Demon Clan hold the power and take on responsibilities, earning Merit, while opportunities for other beings are few and far between.

If the Immortal Court is established, then all beings of the Primordial would have the opportunity to enter the Immortal Court and to obtain Merit.

And it’s not The Three Pure Ones who hold the power of the Immortal Court, even if it is controlled behind the scenes, even if it is not controlled openly, there is much room for maneuvering.

Upon hearing the words of the Taiching Saint, Jieyin Saint’s eyes lit up, but he quickly concealed his reaction.

He thought of many things, burdened with the debt of merit, unable to control the authority of the Immortal Court, yet the disciples of Buddhism could enter and obtain merit.

After pondering for a moment, he finally said, "The idea proposed by Daoist Tai Ching is sensible. The Primordial Continent naturally belongs to the Primordial Beings, and they all have the opportunity to wield the authority of Primordial and contribute to the Primordial World."

"My Buddhist disciples share this sentiment."

At this moment, Taiching Laozi appeared even more tranquil and relaxed, continuing to speak.

"Daoist Di Jun is indeed formidable, and the Demon Clan does indeed possess strength and perfected order."

Facing Taiching Laozi’s praise, Emperor Jun remained unmoved; he did not believe that Taiching Laozi bore such good intentions.

"However, the Demon Clan life forms have been dwelling in the Primordial Starry Sky and within the Heavenly Realm for a long time, and they are unfamiliar with the various affairs of the Primordial Continent."

"In such circumstances, to rashly take charge of the authority of the Primordial Continent may not be favorable."

"I believe that the authority of the Primordial Continent should be personally controlled by the life forms of the Primordial Continent."

Having said this, Taiching Laozi looked at Di Jun and said, "What does Emperor Jun think?"

The Demon Clan does not reside in the Primordial Continent, which is the biggest weakness that The Three Pure Ones have discussed and could seize upon.

Since they are not life forms of the Primordial Continent, how could they wield the authority of the Primordial Continent?

Facing Taiching Laozi’s inquiry, Emperor Jun spoke with an even tone, slowly saying, "Daoist Tai Ching makes a fair point."

"Indeed, the life forms of our Demon Clan do not reside on the Primordial Continent; we have long dwelled in the Heavenly Realm and the Primordial Starry Sky, uninterested and unfamiliar with the various conflicts of the Primordial Continent."

"Therefore, the responsibility for the authority of the Primordial Continent should still rest with the life forms of the Primordial Continent themselves."

Upon hearing Di Jun’s words, the hearts of the various Saints changed instantly, each with different thoughts.

First was Lady Ping Xin, who wondered why Di Jun would give up the authority of the Primordial Continent.

The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou appeared contemplative, thinking to himself: Could it be that Emperor Jun has also realized this point? The saying that great power leads to decline is not without merit.

Hong Jun, the Daoist Ancestor, was also intently observing Emperor Jun, seemingly trying to discern his inner thoughts.

Nuwa Saint was also filled with doubts; she did not understand either but did not oppose it, for she trusted Di Jun.

Zhunti Saint and Jieyin Saint exchanged glances, able to see the joy in each other’s eyes.

The Three Pure Ones felt the same way; their greatest competitor had voluntarily withdrawn, was this not a cause for celebration?

In such a situation, Emperor Fengdu’s expression remained unchanged, as he was an incarnation of Di Jun. He had long known that the matter of the authority of the Primordial Continent was only a probe and not Di Jun’s ultimate goal.

Now, the results of the probing had been revealed.

Although Hong Jun, the Daoist Ancestor, did not express his thoughts clearly, Di Jun, who had his own suspicions, found the intentions very apparent.

Therefore, Di Jun naturally would not persist.

Even if he controlled the authority of the Primordial Continent, what would that accomplish?

He did not believe that the cycle of rise and decline would not befall the Heavenly Court.

With the great calamity looming, minds clouded, the more prosperous the power, the quicker the decline.

At this moment, Taiching Laozi, looking at Emperor Jun, did not boast but instead expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Emperor Jun, for your thoughtfulness."

Di Jun nodded and said, "It is only right; the authority of the Primordial Continent should indeed be in the hands of the life forms that thrive upon it."

Then Emperor Jun looked towards Hong Jun, the Daoist Ancestor, and said in a deep voice, "Daoist Hong Jun, I fear the life forms of the Primordial Continent, being new to power, may lack experience and oversight."

"Herein, on behalf of the entire Heavenly Court, I request the right to penalize, to act in a supervisory capacity, to prevent life forms wielding authority from acting recklessly."

"The Heavenly Court has this responsibility, to protect the entire Primordial World, and should have the right to administer punishment on behalf of Heaven."

"I hope Daoist Hong Jun accedes to this."

Emperor Jun spoke with an upright aura and a solemn demeanor.

As for the behavior of Emperor Jun, the many Saints were momentarily slow to react.
