The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2064: Chapter 1210–1211: Brutal Competition, Clash of the Strong

The Marquis Bamboo Sword, a powerful descendent of the Green Emperor, may not rule any dynasty or empire, but is a top-tier powerhouse among the overseas Five Emperors royal family.

Marquis Bamboo Sword inherits the Green Emperor’s bloodline, is close to the Great Path of Wood, yet practices the Sword Path. Reaching the supreme strong level of Nine Realms of Spirit, he has slain no less than three Supreme Overlord under his sword.

In many people’s eyes, if not for his overly ambitious nature, he would have long been qualified to step into the Supreme Overlord level, peering into the Immortal Path.

This makes many consider Marquis Bamboo Sword as a potential future claimant to the Immortal Path among the overseas Five Emperors royal family.

Although Marquis Bamboo Sword is not fond of power, due to the support from the overseas Green Emperor Lineage, he is favored by an empire seeking to seize the leadership of the Five Emperors royal family and restore the Five Emperors’ glory.

With the appearance of the Marquis Bamboo Sword, the Red Flame King can’t help but worry if he represents the intentions of other powerful figures.

“Brother, it seems some people are already impatient. Although they have not yet personally appeared, they do not hesitate to invite powerful figures to descend. Who knows how many strong figures support them from behind? If one day, should it really come to that, I hope you can lead the Five Emperors Lineage to stop this terrible thing. There are many rumors at this time, and it’s feared that the numerous ambitions can no longer be contained.” The Red Flame King showed a helpless expression, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. Glancing at the Flame Emperor King with a calm demeanor in the air, he slightly bowed and gravely spoke.

In the past, the Five Emperors ancestors divided their descendants into two branches to leave a backup, much like how they once escaped into the outer sky.

Yet, no one expected the situation to develop to this point today. The temptation of power and benefits, the hope of longevity, are existences that countless strong figures cannot refuse.

He realizes that the contradiction developed to this point has already become deeply rooted. If the Five Directions Continent’s five Divine Dynasties could use their power to suppress everything, perhaps balance could be maintained.

But if the Five Directions Divine Dynasties’ power cannot contend with the Jade Emperor Lineage, they hope to obtain support from the overseas branch, which requires truly subduing the overseas branch. Otherwise, there will definitely be ongoing struggles and added impediments.

The scramble for interests all stems from the human heart, a problem even the Five Great Ancestors could not solve, as for the Five Great Ancestors, they are all their descendants. The original division into overseas and continental branches has already caused discontent among many. If they intervene casually, it will inevitably cause a major upheaval.

Moreover, if the Five Divine Dynasties cannot intimidate the overseas branch, wouldn’t it further prove that the overseas branch’s ideas were correct and that the initial decision was a mistake?

“Thank you, Brother Red Flame King, I understand.” The Fire Emperor nodded to show comprehension.

He also understands the current situation: frankly speaking, the previously appointed Feudal Lords now believe their strength is formidable enough and have the qualification to challenge the king.

For the Five Emperors’ descendants, such happenings are common and essentially nothing of concern.

One must know that the human race’s common master in ancient times was not like the future imperial lineage, but rather truly a chaotic struggle among heroes, led by the capable.

Each human race common master who ascended to the position was the strongest and most prestigious individual of their time, all needing to subdue their opponents to ascend to the position of the human race common master.

When the Yellow Emperor ascended, it was after a great battle with the Jiuli Tribe, and the Yellow Emperor almost failed, losing the opportunity to become the common master.

Of course, challengers don’t come without any cost. The struggles for the human race’s common master were extremely fierce. The failing tribes were swallowed by stronger ones, even the Jiuli Tribe, not only being annexed, but their Lord Chi You was also deemed a Witch God by the Yellow Emperor, and despite being recognized as human, completely lost the opportunity to compete for the common master.

You must know, in the past struggles for the human race’s common master, even if the defeated tribes were annexed, there were still bloodlines passed down, and even waiting to grow stronger again, had another chance to compete for the common master.

Because of the dangers he experienced himself, the Yellow Emperor directly severed the Jiuli Lineage’s chance to compete again for the common master.

The current situation facing the Five Divine Dynasties is also similar; for the strong figures of this era, such resistance from powerful feudal lords is seen as rebellion, but it is only natural for their time.

Thus, while this internal fight may deplete the internal strength of the Five Emperors’ descendants, it also acts as nurturing, producing true strong figures through competition.

The Fire Emperor understands that the Five Emperors will not intervene in this matter; at least right now, they will not intervene, even if it might mean losing their own strength.

And should the day come when the Five Divine Dynasties cannot subdue the overseas branch, the Five Emperors will act, but by then, these people must yield their positions.

The Five Emperors’ descendants internally do not need the weak; this is the most brutal and fundamental law for the descendants of the Five Emperors.

This law originates from the time when the human race first emerged in the Ancient Era, where only the strongest could lead humanity to survive.

“Is it that those behind Marquis Bamboo Sword want to reclaim authority and even control the human race?” Flames-red hair dangled from the air as the Fire Emperor’s face darkened slightly.

Even though he had foreseen some possibilities, he did not expect the situation to deteriorate so swiftly. Initially, he intended to defeat the Jade Emperor’s side, at least suppress them before leveraging the situation to curb some people’s unrealistic and dangerous ideas.
