Chapter 1171: Chapter 362: No Longer Our Era (Part 3)
If at that time, the lineage of Emperor Jun still had the power to seize the heavens, it would naturally be impossible to give it up.
At that time, so-called agreements would no longer be binding.
Everyone understood this, so there was no emphasis on it.
In fact, after Eastern Emperor Tai Yi discovered the arrival of Sun Wukong and others, the alliance between the Heavenly Court and Emperor Jun was considered complete.
As for some so-called demands or conditions, they were dispensable.
Both parties understood the other’s principles, so they would naturally not do anything damaging to the alliance.
After Sun Wukong and the others left, a faint smile appeared on Emperor Jun’s face.
Xihe and Changxi exchanged a glance, and Xihe asked, "Your Majesty, could you tell us why we must ally with the Heavenly Court?"
As the Sun Mother and Sun Goddess, as well as the Heavenly Emperor Emperor Jun’s principal wife, Xihe was the only one around Emperor Jun who could speak with him as equals.
However, as women take their husbands as superior, even a goddess is no exception, thus her status seemed slightly lower than that of the Heavenly Emperor.
In truly critical moments, Xihe’s status was unquestionably evident.
Emperor Jun said in a deep voice, "Our enemies are the Three Pure Ones."
Everyone was somewhat puzzled, as they naturally knew this.
But, the Heavenly Court and the Three Pure Ones are together, they are in the same camp.
Although there was some rivalry between the Heavenly Court and the Three Pure Ones, they generally advanced and retreated together.
So, their enemies were the Three Pure Ones, but also the Heavenly Court.
Now allying with the Heavenly Court was truly baffling.
Emperor Jun knew they were confused, and he said solemnly, "No matter who wins or loses between us and the Three Pure Ones, we are all beings of the Three Realms, and this is a struggle belonging to the Three Realms."
Everyone nodded, they naturally understood this point.
The more astute among them heard another layer of meaning in Emperor Jun’s words at this time.
"Is the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi colluding with beings beyond the Three Realms?"
Gui Che said in surprise.
Hearing his words, the others also showed shocked expressions.
If that was truly the case, they would understand why Emperor Jun wanted to cooperate with the Heavenly Court.
No matter how much they fought with the Three Pure Ones, it was still a struggle within the Three Realms.
Involving the outside naturally meant a united front against external threats.
This was their homeland, even in death, they would not want it tainted by outer beings.
Emperor Jun nodded slightly and said, "Yes, to be precise, Haotian God and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi have surrendered to outer beings, although this is just my speculation, it is quite possible."
"Eastern Emperor Tai Yi is too much."
"Indeed, how could he be so foolish, to surrender to outer beings, to think he is the Heavenly Emperor."
The crowd cursed, extremely disappointed in Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
To think a dignified Heavenly Emperor would surrender to outer beings, willing to become someone else’s lackey.
No wonder Emperor Jun wanted to ally with the Heavenly Court, he was doing it not for personal gain, but for the sake of their homeland.
What Emperor Jun said was speculation, but for strong ones of this level, they have a certain sense of many things.
If he hadn’t sensed it, how could he make such a speculation?
"Why doesn’t Your Majesty join forces with the Heavenly Court to annihilate Eastern Emperor Tai Yi?"
An Ancient God asked, somewhat puzzled.
As a result, Gui Che glanced at him and reproached, "Nonsense, even if we were allied with the Heavenly Court, we cannot easily annihilate Eastern Emperor Tai Yi. If Eastern Emperor Tai Yi is annihilated, who will check the Heavenly Court and the Three Pure Ones? We would be the next to be annihilated."
The Ancient God suddenly realized this simple truth, feeling ashamed for not having thought of it.
Emperor Jun’s gaze was profound, and he said lightly, "I am not worried that after eliminating Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, the Heavenly Court now does not eliminate Eastern Emperor Tai Yi. If there are no surprises, it should be due to the Three Pure Ones’ intent."
"They are fishing."
Xihe’s pupils shrank slightly.
In other words, the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Court might not be unaware of what Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was doing.
The reason they did not act was merely because they were fishing.
Once the outer beings Eastern Emperor Tai Yi relies on appear, it would be the moment for the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Court to take action.
They intend to utterly eliminate all threats in one battle.
Realizing this, Xihe said in astonishment, "Husband, how strong are the Three Pure Ones exactly? Why are they so confident?"
Emperor Jun remained silent, finally revealing a shocking secret.
"The strength the Three Pure Ones show is actually only a part of their power, there is another part of their power, which is suppressing elsewhere."
The crowd gasped, all showing expressions of shock.
The Three Pure Ones are already invincible as they are now, but this is only a part of their power.
No one dared to imagine the might of the Three Pure Ones if they were at their full strength.
"No one knows what realm they have achieved. If there truly is a level, although we are called Supremes, in truth, we are still in the Great Heavenly Venerate realm. I have merely walked to the Great Heavenly Venerate realm, and the realm of the Three Pure Ones can be called Creation."
"Creation?"
The crowd was puzzled.
"Creation of Heaven and Earth, Creation of Heaven and Earth, thus it is called Creation. The realm of the Three Pure Ones can open a true Great World."
The crowd gasped.
Creation of Heaven and Earth, Creation of Heaven and Earth.
They could also open a Great Thousand Worlds, a Supreme could do it, though at a significant cost.
However, opening a true Great World was not something they could achieve.
Just stabilizing a Great World required a vast amount of mana.
Moreover, the law for constructing a Great World was not something their realm could fully comprehend.
Creation of Heaven and Earth is a true creation on a massive scale.
"My realm is but a hair’s breadth from creation, yet I cannot step into that realm. It seems that I can break through at any moment, but it feels like separated by endless time and space, within sight but unreachable."
At this point, Emperor Jun sighed.
