Super-dimensional space.
Taishang was silent.
The other sages were equally silent.
No idiot would make a sound at a time like this.
Who knew if making the slightest sound now would cause the pot resting on Taishang's head to be shifted onto their own body?
As long as the master of a world was not its creator deity, strong beings of the sage realm never got along harmoniously with the world master, mostly engaging in all sorts of inner scheming and plotting against one another.
The orderly harmony of the Investiture of the Gods World was actually an exception.
The spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao truly possessed the power and authority that surpassed all sages, but... the Heavenly Dao spokesperson could at most seal a Heavenly Dao Sage, not kill one.
Moreover,
when enough Heavenly Dao Sages gathered together, they could subvert the authority of the Heavenly Dao spokesperson.
The absolute authority of the Investiture of the Gods Hongjun was actually brought about mostly by the Three Corpses Severance Dao Attainment.
From a practitioner's perspective, the Three Corpses Severance Dao Attainment could be said to be a technique lacking virtue to the point of smoking.
Severing evil thoughts, severing benevolent thoughts, and severing the self made one exist as coldly as a machine, forever able to make only the calmest and fairest decisions.
If one successfully severed the three corpses, that practitioner would also be almost identical to the Heavenly Dao.
For Hongjun Daozu, that person successfully managing to sever the three corpses would make him extremely happy.
Even failing to successfully sever the three corpses did not matter; needing to sever only one of them would allow his objective to be achieved.
Severing only the evil corpse would inevitably turn that practitioner into a supreme do-gooder with no harm
