Zhang Yu could see that the five chief controllers had not truly abandoned their strategy of checking and balancing them. Now that an Evil God manifestation had appeared, they could use this figure to break the current deadlock.
Yet from his observations, this one differed from the innate spirits of the past. Which side he truly stood on was not necessarily something the five could dictate.
There was no need for Zhang Yu to oppose this.
So he said, "Since this is the decision of the five chief controllers and does us no harm, we have no objection."
Tai Shi said, "Since all the chief controllers agree, then it is settled."
Zhang Yu nodded, gave a salute, and took his leave. Once outside, Qing Shuo said, "The five chief controllers wish to use this one against us."
Bai Wang smiled faintly. "That is so, yet not entirely so. This one is an Evil God manifestation, and the five chief controllers do not truly value him that highly. Supporting him is merely meant to make the Evil God an example. If even an Evil God manifestation can become a chief controller, then who else could they refuse to accept?"
Chief Controller Zhuang said, "It is a sound move, but the great powers will not agree so easily. They will continue to watch, because the five chief controllers' willingness to accept even an Evil God manifestation shows how urgently they wish to check and balance us. Seeing this, the great powers can afford to wait longer instead of rushing to make any move."
Zhang Yu believed Chief Controller Zhuang was entirely right. In the past, if the five chief controllers wished to recruit someone into the Golden Court, it might not have been easy, but it would not have been so complicated
