Wang Yao stared at the Heavenly Emperor in astonishment, quite surprised that this old fellow seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined; he also seemed to enjoy talking a lot.
"Our goal is to reduce our enemies and increase our friends. Now that Xian hopes to be friendly with the foreigners, we will give up some minor interests to win their friendship. If the foreigners are really as you say, won't the facts open their eyes?"
"Will those in the foreign lands, like my granddaughter, stand on our side? When this contest comes to an end, will the only remaining enemies be the most stubborn pack of beasts? Won't it be much easier and more precise for us to deal with them then?"
"There's one more thing you need to remember: when you're about to throw a punch, you must first pull your arm back. The more you pull back, the more power you'll deliver. This is the traditional wisdom of our Six Realms!" The Heavenly Emperor shook his head and spoke eloquently.
Wang Yao couldn't help but think of a foreign phrase, "I'm impressed." This old guy had explained the Heavenly Court's strategy clearly in just a few words. This was a perfectly legitimate and open strategy. Even if the most hostile and treacherous foreign god knew about it, he would probably find it irrefutable.
No wonder the Heavenly Court created the "Heavenly Emperor's Sayings." With just a few short sentences, Wang Yao felt that some of the things the Heavenly Emperor said were truly worth pondering.
"Our path is winding, but the future is certainly bright. The position of the Matchmaker was originally established by the Heavenly Court. If it is abolished today, can't it be reinstated tomorrow? Sometimes giving up is a sign of confidence. Of course, we will always adhere to our fundamental system and never waver!"
The Heavenly Emperor looked intently at Wang Yao.
"This is called confidence in our system. In the struggle, we must first have confidence. We must be confident that everything we uphold is just, confident that our strength can defeat all enemies, and confident that our concessions can win the support of the vast majority of people."
"Therefore, giving up, making concessions, and persisting are not contradictory. They only make us stronger and more invincible." The Heavenly Emperor said as he slowly paced in front of Wang Yao.
“I especially like what you just said. We cannot have our fate decided at the beginning of our lives just because we are born different. This was the most fundamental idea behind the establishment of the Six Realms.”
"Although we cannot make every living being born equal, it does not prevent us from enabling them to live in a roughly equal interface for each of them through the Six Realms, and through the progress of each interface, making our entire world a better place!"
The Heavenly Emperor stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on Wang Yao like morning stars.
"Strategic persistence and tactical flexibility are actually two sides of the same coin, and they are unified with each other. So, are you still willing to continue contributing your strength to the Heavenly Court?"
"I...I'm willing!" Wang Yao nodded repeatedly. The Heavenly Emperor's words enlightened him, and even many questions that had been accumulating in his mind for a long time were answered. Why do we often appear humble and obsequious to foreign guests and foreigners? This...this is actually a strategy!
We are willing to give up or make sacrifices for a strategic advantage, but we will resolutely defend and never waver on the fundamental values we cherish!
He deeply realized that as long as the Heavenly Court had a wise leader like the Heavenly Emperor, the ideal of a better world seemed not far away. For this ideal, he would not hesitate to become even the most insignificant immortal.
"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? I wasted so much breath!" The Heavenly Emperor complained to Wang Yao, then looked up at the snow-covered mountain peaks in the distance.
"You now have two choices: one is to accept a transfer within the system, and the other is to undergo the God and Demon Forging. If you choose to transfer within the system, you will have the system's assistance and will upgrade step by step. To be honest, I am not optimistic about how much of a role you can play in the foreseeable future."
"Most immortals today probably don't remember the God and Demon Forging Technique, but back then it was an incredible opportunity. It could allow you to grow rapidly in a short period of time, and it wasn't impossible to advance to the Mahayana stage within a hundred years. It would quickly cultivate you into the immortal talent we needed."
"However, the requirements for the God and Demon Forging are also very demanding. It will strip you of your system, and you will lose all support and can only rely on yourself. I must remind you that the death rate in the God and Demon Forging is very high. Once you die in the God and Demon Forging, it will be a complete death, and you will never be able to reincarnate."
The Heavenly Emperor smiled as he looked at Wang Yao.
"However, the benefits of divine and demonic forging are also obvious. In addition to allowing you to grow rapidly, it can also preserve the skills and magical tendencies you once possessed to the greatest extent. In other words, after divine and demonic forging, you may become a matchmaker without system restrictions!"
"Now tell me, do you want a stable job transfer within the system, or do you want to take on the challenge of being forged by gods and demons?" The Heavenly Emperor asked Wang Yao mysteriously.
Since the old man had made his point so clear, Wang Yao naturally understood that the Heavenly Emperor wanted him to choose the path of divine and demonic forging. Why? Because the challenge was greater, but the rewards were also greater. Moreover, if Wang Yao remained the Matchmaker, wouldn't the "good guy" aspect of immortal arts still exist? How could he possibly die so easily?
But... could there be a trap here? The more something seems like a windfall, the more likely it is to have hidden pitfalls. This will have to be considered a quote from the God of Love from now on.
"This...you mean Fairy Caixia cried and begged with you to fight for this opportunity to forge the gods and demons?" Wang Yao asked, frowning. At this crucial moment, he still believed that Caixia wouldn't betray him.
