The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1980: Chapter 1926–1927: Divine Position Succession and Reckless Audacity

The Witch Deity Teaching had been plotting this plan for a long time. Proving the Taoist Monarch was not solely the affair of Ju Mang Ancestor Witch; the emergence of a new Taoist Monarch was also an immensely significant matter for the Witch Deity Teaching.

They continuously schemed to attract the attention of the Great Emperor Ziwei, to restrain the opponent and prevent them from making a move. In this way, under such circumstances, they only needed to guard against one person, and that was the Emperor Jade.

As the Emperor of Heaven in the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor would also be able to perceive any changes in True Gods. The only question was whether he would choose to intervene at this moment.

Given the alliance for defense and offense between the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei, there was a significant possibility that the opponent would intervene to obstruct. This was the time to test the strength of their alliance.

Of course, Ju Mang Ancestor Witch was not unprepared. The Witch God Sect Leader was ready to block the Jade Emperor at any time, providing enough time for him.

“There is only one chance, are you sure you’re ready?” The eyes of Wood Virtue Star Lord were filled with a complex expression.

It was not only because the divine position that had accompanied him for ten thousand years was about to be lost, but also because he understood what it meant for the other party to take over the divine position at this moment.

This was not just a transition of the divine position; it also meant that Ju Mang Ancestor Witch intended to take this opportunity to prove the Taoist Monarch. Once he refined the divine position, he could prove the Taoist Monarch, and a powerful Taoist Monarch would once again appear in the world.

“Don’t worry about it!” Ju Mang Ancestor Witch nodded, his gaze filled with confidence.

He knew what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this was. He had only this one chance, and if he lost it, it would be very difficult to get another one.

This was not only about proving the Taoist Monarch; it also had a tremendous impact on the situation between Heaven and Earth. The power displayed by the Witch Deity Teaching at this moment had already filled many powerful figures with dread, as they did not wish to see the Witch Deity Teaching become even stronger, silently agreeing amongst themselves to suppress it.

And these powerful figures might act in the shadows, whereas the Great Emperor Ziwei would be willing to do whatever it takes to directly block his way, certainly not wanting him to prove the Taoist Monarch.

Currently, the Fire Virtue Star Lord was already trouble enough for the Great Emperor Ziwei; he had to pay a price to win over the Da Xue Country Lord to gain some advantage for himself.

If Ju Mang Ancestor Witch were to acquire the divine position of Wood Virtue Star Lord and thereby prove the Taoist Monarch, it would mean that he would face the pressure of two Taoist Monarchs in succession. What’s more, the Fire Virtue Star Lord himself had connections to the Witch Deity Teaching, which posed unprecedented pressure for the Great Emperor Ziwei.

“Perhaps after this event, I will also become a thorn in the side of Ziwei, wishing to be eliminated quickly.” The Wood Virtue Star Lord thought to himself, yet he had no regrets or hesitation.

For him, it was the best choice now, especially as the Great Emperor Ziwei was continuously subduing numerous Star Gods. Unless he was willing to bow under the emperor’s throne of the Great Emperor Ziwei, it meant he must join forces with the Fire Virtue Star Lord to resist, making them enemies regardless.

Since they had to become enemies anyway, he might as well take the opportunity to act and gain an advantage.

After all, once he waited to prove the Taoist Monarch, everything could change.

The next moment, the Wood Virtue Star Lord formed a seal with his hands and chanted spells, with a vibrant vitality emerging around him, akin to the creation of life’s sweet rain. This abundant vitality continued to spread, extending in all directions. The flowers and grass beneath him grew instantly. If not for the array barrier in the place where they stood, all beings within a hundred miles would have sensed it.

A small, three-inch-tall, crystal-clear green tree emerged from his chest. Its verdant leaves were rich in the aura of the Wood Dao, like a manifestation of the Great Path of Wood.

This was the legendary Wood Star Lord’s Divine Position·Life Divine Tree. Of course, the Life Divine Tree was the name given by the Wood Virtue Star Lord; it was also the manifestation of the divine position he condensed.

A divine position is essentially a kind of position in the world, intangible in nature, an attribute of the Great Tao of Heaven and Earth. Especially in the Heavenly Court, a divine position is authority entrusted with executing the rule of Heaven, favored by the Will of Heaven and Earth.

Some who have not encountered gods, who have not truly understood them, might consider it to be something akin to a Dharma Seal. This is incorrect; the god’s Dharma Seal is merely a symbolic token, not the true divine position.

The divine position is intangible, and for each god, the divine position they hold should be congruent with themselves, meaning the manifestation of the divine position aligns with their own Great Tao. Each god’s manifestation of the divine position is not the same but varies according to the god’s preferences and cultivation path.

“Take it!” The Wood Virtue Star Lord gently waved his hand, simultaneously lifting the brand on the divine position, allowing the Wood Virtue Star Lord’s divine position to become an ownerless object.

Of course, don’t assume that since the Wood Virtue Star Lord easily lifted the brand of the divine position, the divine position can be easily stripped away. In reality, the divine position is the foundation of a god; even if a god willingly detaches it, it requires a substantial price.

The Wood Virtue Star Lord was only able to do this so easily because he had already completed all the preliminary preparations, and only the final step remained.

After speaking, without waiting for any reaction from Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, the Wood Virtue Star Lord, now King Zhuanlun, decisively turned and left, transforming into a ghostly light and escaping into the Nether Yin Department.

What he had to do was done, and staying here any longer was meaningless and would instead invite disaster.
