Everyone nodded at these words, understanding in their hearts.
Since ancient times, any change or reform was bound to touch upon the interests of certain people. People like Taishang Laojun would naturally be the first to bear the brunt.
However, separating out their interests would not be easy. It required great resolve, as well as tremendous power to back it up.
"Here in the Heavenly Court, we must curb the growth of the Carefree Great Emperor's forces. In the mortal realm, Zhenyuan Daxian and Tathagata Buddha will need to restrain him," Taishang Laojun said.
Tathagata Buddha and Zhenyuan Daxian nodded. Even without Taishang Laojun saying so, the two of them would have done the same.
After all, the Carefree Great Emperor had now taken the Jade Emperor's throne, posing a tremendous threat to them. On this matter, they stood on the same side.
In High Heaven Hall, the Carefree Great Emperor sat chatting with Uchiha Shin and the others. They were all delighted by what had just happened.
"Mystic Spirit King, your abilities have earned even more of my admiration. I truly want to keep you by my side and have you follow me always. If the two of us joined forces, others would find it difficult to deal with us," the Carefree Great Emperor said with a smile.
Uchiha Shin said, "Great Emperor, this is not something to decide so casually. If I stayed in the Heavenly Court by your side, Taishang Laojun and the others would become even more wary. They would surely resort to some mad schemes. It is better for us to remain apart and form a pincer, dealing with them together."
The Carefree Great Emperor smiled and nodded. Naturally, he understood that. What he had said just now was merely to satisfy his own wish.
