"This... according to you, we've been wrong to fight the foreign powers all this time?" Wang Yao was stunned.
"How could I be wrong?" Taishang shook his head helplessly. "What I just told you was a grand principle, but beneath that grand principle lie countless smaller principles. The first of these smaller principles is that a virtuous person should strengthen their foundation. Given the current state of the Western Realm, if they were to truly swallow up the Six Realms, would the Six Realms still be in good shape?"
"That's why I say you've done a great service. It's precisely because of your unforeseen circumstances that you triggered the nuclear catastrophe, which made the Ocean Realm lose the confidence and strength to annex the Six Realms for a long time. As a result, the Six Realms also gained a precious opportunity to recuperate."
"In the future, as the strength of the Six Realms and the Ocean Realm ebbs and flows, the world will be much more stable, and things will truly be much better. So, although the nuclear calamity caused huge losses to the Ocean Realm, in the long run, it truly stabilized the overall situation of the world," said the Supreme Lord.
"So the Heavenly Court will probably help the Ocean Realm survive the nuclear catastrophe?" Wang Yao asked.
"Of course, we will not only provide assistance, but we will provide substantial assistance. This is based on the principle that we are all part of the same world. If the Western Realm is truly destroyed, the Six Realms will also be affected! We are not assisting the Western Realm, but maintaining the stability of the world," said the Supreme Lord.
“But the Western Realm has always harbored ill intentions towards us. I even encountered quite a few traitors from the Six Realms in the Western Realm this time. Now that the Heavenly Court is going to provide strong support to the Western Realm, will those traitors and shadow puppets take this opportunity to stir up trouble and commit evil deeds such as splitting the Six Realms and overthrowing the Heavenly Court?” Wang Yao asked hurriedly.
"We've known about the traitor you mentioned for a long time. As the saying goes, 'If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place.' But that's just human nature. Chaos is inevitable and normal. Only with chaos can there be order. They want to stir up trouble, but little do they know that we're also looking for an opportunity to deal with the mole within our ranks?"
"However, this chaos cannot affect our fundamental principle of maintaining order in the world. This is the bottom line. As long as we adhere to the bottom line, chaos will always be limited to a certain extent. Sometimes chaos is not a bad thing. Without touching the bottom line, we need to give those guys a chance to jump out."
"For example, if the Shadow Puppet doesn't collude with the traitors, how can we tell the difference?" Taishang said with a smile.
"That's true, but I feel things might not go so smoothly. After all, the people of the foreign world have always been hostile to our six realms... In addition... the foreign gods framed me. After this nuclear calamity, even if the Heavenly Court provides full assistance, I'm afraid we might not gain much recognition from the foreign world."
Wang Yao continued.
"As the most elite group in the world, we cannot be conventional in our thinking. Whether the foreign world hates us or is grateful to us, in the end they still have to coexist with us in this world. That is the most important thing. Everything else is secondary."
"While we must strive to gain the recognition of all living beings, we cannot let those secondary issues affect our fundamental principles," said the Supreme Lord.
“The Heavenly Court previously made concessions to the Western Regions in order to ensure the stability of the world. In the future, the Heavenly Court will probably continue to make good relations with the Western Regions, with the same purpose of ensuring peace and tranquility for the world. Although you have explained the reasoning very clearly, I still feel extremely aggrieved.” Wang Yao sighed.
"Being born into this world is inherently a frustrating thing. Even with the cultivation of a great master, there are still many regrets that are beyond our power. You are already considered a somewhat experienced immortal, so you should understand this. All we can do is strive to make this world a little better day by day."
"When you see all living beings in the world living in peace and contentment, all your frustrations will be worthwhile," Taishang sighed.
“I understand. Since the world cannot be united, the only way is to maintain its order through perseverance. But this…” Wang Yao shook his head. What does “maintain order through perseverance” mean? This is simply an impossible task, and Taishang and the others are clearly doing just that.
Such grand ambitions were beyond Wang Yao's wildest dreams; let's talk about something more realistic.
"Um... am I already born, or am I going to be reincarnated?" Wang Yao asked, pointing to his infant-like body.
“You are just a spirit, so of course you have to reincarnate. However, the day you are reincarnated will have to wait until the immortal body left in the Suppressing Evil Heavenly Prison is completely destroyed and the two halves of the true spirit are reunited. There are many complicated procedures to go through in between. You can only stay here for the time being, and I will maintain the stability of your spirit body.”
"However, you can decide on the person you want to be reincarnated with now, so as to avoid making mistakes when things get chaotic later," Taishang said.
"The person to be reincarnated?" Wang Yao blinked. Was this another attempt to find his father?
"Do you want to be placed in a familiar family or a stranger?" Taishang asked.
"Who are the familiar faces?" Wang Yao asked, quite curious.
"The Demon Realm's Handsome Lang..."
"don't want!"
The Supreme Lord had barely uttered four words when Wang Yao hurriedly shook his head. "To be the son of General Lang and Princess Jinxiu? Am I some kind of mantis or an ant?"
"It is indeed a disservice to you to become a demon, but both of them are now at the Mahayana stage. Becoming their child would mean being born with a Golden Core... You... really don't want to?... Then there's only one option..."
"Lu Bu and Diao Chan, these two immortals have been seeing each other frequently lately, and they should be getting married soon. Their divine union will surely produce extraordinary children, which should also be a boost to you, but in reality, they are still not as good as General Lang..." the Supreme Lord suggested.
When Wang Yao heard that Lü Bu and Diao Chan had already reached the point of getting married, he was almost dumbfounded. This Lü Bu really had some tricks up his sleeve, even managing to seduce the great-lady Diao Chan, and that was before he even arranged their marriage...
