"So, the predecessor of Jade Sky Goddess was also an innate creature like 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Lord'?" Zhenwu Emperor said in a serious voice.

Fang Jian shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. If her origin is the same as mine, then Taishang Laojun cannot be unaware of it. After all, he even knows about Jiu Tian Xuanjun."

The Great Emperor Zhenwu pondered, "So, the Jade Sky Goddess's origins are even more secretive than those of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lord. Now that she's the wife of the Great Celestial Lord, the Jade Sky Goddess of Heaven, I'm afraid the situation will become even more complicated from now on. Oh, and there's one more thing: the Great Celestial Lord has bestowed upon the Jade Sky Goddess another 'Divine Calendar Talisman' and ordered the Emperor Erlang Shen to assist her."

The Imperial Calendar Talisman is the authority of the List of Gods wielded by the Great Celestial Venerable. He had previously bestowed one upon Fang Jian, and now has bestowed another upon Jade Sky Goddess.

Fang Jian didn't say anything. After pondering for a moment, he said, "So, Xuanyang Palace controls Lingshu Jade Palace, Yuxiao Goddess controls Shenxiao Jade Palace, and my Taisu Palace controls Taishi Xiandu and Shenlei Jade Palace?"

"Yes," said the Great Emperor Zhenwu. "The Divine Heaven Jade Palace controls the administrative power of Heaven, the Spiritual Pivot Jade Palace controls the military power of Heaven, and the Divine Thunder Jade Palace controls the judicial and supervisory power of Heaven."

When Fang Jian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. Isn't this the same as the separation of powers?

Thinking of this, Fang Jian suddenly understood, "It seems that this is a good thing for the Great Heavenly Venerable."

How could the Great Emperor Zhenwu not understand the profound significance of this? Although the Jade Sky Goddess also seemed to be a powerful force, no matter what her past origins were, she was ultimately the wife of the Great Celestial Venerable, and a wife who had accompanied the Great Celestial Venerable through countless lifetimes.

Therefore, the Jade Sky Goddess was actually still under the power of the Great Celestial Venerable, but the Great Celestial Venerable was in a transcendent position and it was impossible for him to personally come out to compete with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman for power. Although Fang Jian stood on the side of the Great Celestial Venerable, he actually had his own power in the Heavenly Court. So when the Jade Sky Goddess just happened to find the Dao fruit of the "Daluo Jinxian", the Great Celestial Venerable naturally supported the Jade Sky Goddess.

The Jade Sky Goddess came forward to fight for power on behalf of the Great Celestial Lord. Every bit of power she fought for ultimately belonged to the Great Celestial Lord.

"I didn't expect such a big change to happen just a few years after I left Heaven." Fang Jian shook his head.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu said, "However, Jade Sky Goddess and Purple Sky Great Emperor control the Divine Sky Jade Palace and the Spiritual Pivot Jade Palace respectively. The conflict will intensify. What should our Taishi Immortal City do from now on? I would like to ask for your guidance, Great Emperor."

Fang Jian said, "The Divine Thunder Jade Palace is under the control of my Taisu Palace. There's no need to get involved in their dispute. Besides, no matter how they fight, they'll ultimately have to deal with the Divine Thunder Jade Palace. You and Emperor Qitian shouldn't take sides. Just manage the Divine Thunder Jade Palace and enforce the law impartially."

Fang Jian's words reflected the conclusion reached by the Great Emperor Zhenwu after assessing the situation. He couldn't help but sigh that great minds think alike, and immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your command."

Fang Jian looked at the Great Emperor Zhenwu and said, "After you return, you will take charge of the affairs of Taisu Palace and Taishi Xiandu on my behalf. Although I am training in the lower realm, if something happens that you cannot control, you can burn incense in the Dongzhen Palace and report it to me. I will then return to the Heavenly Palace."

Zhenwu Emperor nodded and said, "Yes."

Then he stood up, bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Zhenwu takes his leave. Great Emperor, take care."

Fang Jian stood up and escorted the Great Emperor Zhenwu out of the hut. He watched him fly away on a cloud before he looked away.

Fang Jian immediately thought to himself that the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was indeed an old fox. After the Jade Sky Goddess gained power, he saw at a glance that the Taisu Palace would be the neutral and balanced party among the "three powers".

So, in the face of the recommendation of Jade Sky Goddess and the opposition of Nine-Sky Mysterious Lady, he immediately found the Great Emperor Zhenwu and asked for permission to go down to the mortal world to govern one side. Anyway, he didn't want to be the first victim of the fight between Jade Sky Goddess and Nine-Sky Mysterious Lady.

It seems that being an immortal official for a long time does have its benefits. At least you can see the situation you are in at the first time and find a way to break it.

Becoming an Emperor, a Heavenly Emperor of a region, would certainly be wonderful, but would it be so easy? He wasn't even a Daluo Jinxian, and with the opposition of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, if he was blinded by the title of Emperor and rashly got involved in the struggle, he might not only not get the title, but also lose his current position!

Therefore, after clearly realizing this, Tota-Bearing Heavenly King decided to flee as the best strategy. As long as he left the center of heaven, trouble would naturally not be able to find him, and he could also avoid disaster.

But will things really develop as Tota Heavenly King imagined? Can he really avoid disaster?

Fang Jian shook his head. The Three Realms might be vast, but they were ultimately ruled by Heaven. Where could one hide? And for how long? Trouble would eventually come.
