The immense profits spurred the saints into action. In the name of avenging the Human Emperor, they would conquer the Ziwei Imperial Star and divide up the resources of an Ancient Life Star with full justification.
Others held the knife and chopping block while they were the fish upon it. This was the sorrow of the Ziwei Imperial Star, but also the good fortune of the Big Dipper Burial Emperor Star.
"Big Dipper cannot rule Ziwei forever after conquering it. That would be no different from colonization and would provoke a massive backlash from the Ziwei Imperial Star's fortune."
"If the oppression goes too far, it will inevitably invite resistance. Once we become mired in a war to maintain order, our losses will far exceed our gains."
"So our targets are Ziwei's sects-the Taiyin Divine Dynasty, the Golden Crow Race, and certain major powers that persecuted the Human Emperor's descendants. We must distinguish them from Ziwei's cultivators at large and divide them to rule them."
"Once we have eradicated those sects and divided their movable wealth, Big Dipper will leave the stage and retreat behind the scenes. God King Taixu and Great Saint Taiyi will support the Human Emperor's descendants, having the Taiyin Body and Solar Body step forward to recruit disciples far and wide, reassure Ziwei's independent cultivators, enlist extraordinary talents, and establish a new Taiyin Divine Dynasty and Solar Divine Sect. This way, within a hundred years, we can bring the Ziwei Imperial Star into the Heavenly Court's domain."
"When we launch expeditions against other Ancient Life Stars in the future, we can follow this model as well: win over one faction and strike another, making as many allies as possible."
At the Heavenly Court's meeting, Lin Xian proposed this plan, and it swiftly won the saints' approval.
