"Haotian, being unworthy, was favored by the Taoist Ancestors and succeeded the position of Tiandi after Di Jun. Until now, two Quantitative Calamities have passed. However, there is no eternal ruler in the world, and as of today, I am about to transcend and no longer intend to manage all the affairs of Heaven and Earth."
"There is Jiang Chen of the Human Race, who, due to his rit in reshaping the Boundless Starry Sky, has been appointed by the Heavenly Dao as the Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Emperor, holding the authority over the celestial and earthly order. He leads the stars and mountains gods of the Three Realms, master of all phenona, with the power to summon wind and call rain, command thunder and ghosts, truly an underlord of the Three Realms."
"Therefore, after I depart, all matters of the Prehistoric World shall be managed by Emperor Ziwei on my behalf, overseeing everything. If you encounter any difficult matters, you may seek diation from Emperor Ziwei."
"In the absence of the Tiandi, Emperor Ziwei is the Tiandi."
The decree left by the Jade Emperor was very straightforward: if he leaves and does not achieve Dao, he will never return. Hence, he has no intention of retaining the position of Tiandi.
However, the Three Realms cannot go a day without a master, so after his departure, the position of Tiandi will be temporarily held by Emperor Ziwei. When he attains the Dao, he will formally pass the title to Emperor Ziwei.
Since he will no longer be the Tiandi, but Emperor Ziwei will be, there is no need for everyone to seek him for matters anymore; they should directly approach Emperor Ziwei.
The sa applies to affairs of the Immortal World.
If you are undecided, let Emperor Ziwei decide. As the saying goes, if you’re not in the position, you should not concern yourself with its business; there’s no need to seek his opinion as he is part of the past.
"This..."
After reading the decree from the Jade Emperor from start to finish, everyone could not help but look at each other in dismay.
How to say... from a legal standpoint, there was nothing wrong with the decree left by the Jade Emperor.
According to ritual, the purpose of Emperor Ziwei is inherently to succeed the Tiandi, to be the next Tiandi. Otherwise, Emperor Ziwei wouldn’t hold such great power, controlling the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
If the position of Tiandi is vacant, and there is no Emperor Ziwei, a new candidate for the Tiandi should be discussed among the gods. But if there is an Emperor Ziwei, there is no need for discussion. Emperor Ziwei can simply inherit the position.
This is the current situation. The Jade Emperor did not want to continue, so he directly left, but before leaving, he arranged for a successor, specifically appointing Emperor Ziwei to take over all matters of the Prehistoric World.
This is reasonable and makes it difficult to find any objections.
However, given the current situation, Taiyi and others obviously do not want to see Jiang Chen temporarily assu the position of Tiandi. Everyone agreed to ask the Tiandi to preside over matters, but as a result, the Tiandi passed the position to Jiang Chen.
Now what, Jiang Chen becos both judge and player; how is this acceptable?
In addition, with the Jade Emperor passing the title to Jiang Chen, his greatest shortcoming has also been addressed. Henceforth, Jiang Chen will be the Tiandi, the nominal master of the Chaos World.
He now has a legitimate reason to reshape the Chaos World; it is no longer a personal action but the implentation of Heaven and Earth’s will.
Previously, reluctance to reshape the Chaos World could be argued as a matter of ideology. But with Jiang Chen as the Tiandi, there’s no differing ideology argunt anymore.
The will of the Tiandi is the will of the Chaos World. If he says to reshape the Chaos World, what everyone should consider is how to do this well, not how to thwart it while executing other plans.
Anything contrary to the Tiandi’s will is wrong, considered as a great rebellion, punishable by the Tiandi’s order.
Just like now, once Taiyi and others return to their positions and the Immortal World is complete, substantial rit would be bestowed for their role in constructing the Immortal World.
However, if Jiang Chen becos the Tiandi, then Taiyi and others constructing the Immortal World would not only lack rit but incur the wrath of the Heavenly Dao, bringing down divine punishnt.
This is the Tiandi: right or wrong, only what the Tiandi says counts. What aligns with the Tiandi is right; what defies it is all wrong.
It’s exactly because anticipated this that Taiyi and others don’t want to see Jiang Chen beco Tiandi.
Before, everyone behaved like feudal lords; no one could accuse the other of being wrong. All could claim to have received the heavenly mandate and act righteously.
But if Jiang Chen becos Tiandi, they beco subordinates. If they disobey Jiang Chen’s orders, they would be labeled as traitorous ministers. At that ti, Jiang Chen’s dispatching troops against them would be legitimate.
No legitimate na, no true words, equals losing the heavenly mandate. Without the heavenly mandate, they can’t rally Fate, which has significant repercussions.
With Jiang Chen as Tiandi, everyone’s status becos unequal, the Immortal World loses its legitimacy. Even if Jiang Chen doesn’t send troops against them, internal chaos would soon arise.
Cultivators practice to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. If abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, how could they cultivate? If they can’t cultivate, it’s no surprise if those below rebel.
...
With discontented hearts, Taiyi and others wish to protest, yet couldn’t utter a word.
To say Jiang Chen is unqualified to inherit the position of Tiandi would an denying the rules established by the Heavenly Dao, essentially overturning everything in the Prehistoric World. The consequences are too severe for anyone to bear.
To bla the Jade Emperor wouldn’t be right. In this matter, the Jade Emperor cannot be faulted. He did nothing but pass the position to his successor as per the rules of the Prehistoric World.
If this too is wrong, who would dare follow the rules in the future?
"Star Lord, please accept the decree!"
While everyone was struggling with their emotions, the Tianyao Goddess handed the Jade Emperor’s decree to Jiang Chen.
