But Zhang Taiyue clearly saw that this was a trap, yet he directly stepped into it. What was he trying to do, drag the Civil Officials Lineage into the mire with him?
Unlike Wang Xijue's dissatisfaction and anger, the faces of many others revealed smiles the moment they heard Zhang Taiyue agree, but right after Zhang Taiyue's words, their expressions stiffened.
"Since you want me to take up this responsibility, there is no problem at all. However, I must clarify one thing: all subsequent matters must follow my plan." Zhang Taiyue seemed to have been prepared for this, directly and unyieldingly seeking to seize control of the overall situation.
"What does he want to do?"
"Does he want to lead us?"
"..."
The rest of the strong individuals remained composed, each contemplating Zhang Taiyue's intentions.
This is undoubtedly the opponent turning the tables; when they forced the opponent to accept this matter, now that the opponent wants authority, if they don't give it, the opponent could completely use this opportunity to shirk this matter again.
But if they really agreed to the opponent, this is not merely lip service. It means they would truly have to hand over the command to the opponent, and everything must follow the opponent's arrangement.
Some things can be said casually, even if not acknowledged afterwards, but some matters are never casual, once unable to be achieved, the responsibility will undoubtedly fall on their own heads.
At the moment, since Zhang Taiyue actively undertook this matter, if it eventually cannot succeed, then the major responsibility will inevitably lie with him.
But this premise is based on everyone cooperating and implementing it according to his plan.
If they agree to his demands on the surface but actually have to devote themselves wholeheartedly during the execution of his plans, and they fail to achieve this, revealing flaws on their own part, then at the end, Zhang Taiyue would have ample reason to absolve himself of responsibility.
But once they hand over their rights to someone else, wanting to take them back again, means completely entrusting their own life and death to others, especially in the Myriad Laws Realm, where any matter is fraught with danger, when the time comes, whether to go or not as arranged by the opponent.
"Is this your thought, wanting to snatch the control from here?" Wang Xijue conveyed to Zhang Taiyue, as if he had seen through the opponent's thoughts.
Who is Zhang Taiyue? Known from a young age for his Divine Abilities, and favored by countless powerful beings not just for his demonic talent but also for his wisdom.
If today's affair had been placed on someone else, it might be a momentary act of righteousness, followed by mistakenly falling into a trap, but with Zhang Taiyue, this was absolutely not possible.
Thus, when Wang Xijue truly calmed down at that moment, he truly realized what Zhang Taiyue wanted to do.
For the various factions under the command of Jade Emperor, the constant struggle for power and profit is an unchanging theme; oftentimes, even for the same matter, how to seize leadership is also a very important thing.
Therefore, in this matter, if Zhang Taiyue wants to grab the leadership, it can also be understood, however, Wang Xijue still has some doubts about this.
"But at this time, even if the temporary leadership is seized, what will you do next?" Wang Xijue continued to inquire: "The current situation is already close to a no-win situation, even if we hold the leadership, with the current power it is very hard to break through and may even likely become the biggest responsible party."
At other times, for joint actions of various parties, securing the leadership among them is no problem, which means the greatest credit would be in their hands.
However, the current matter is completely different, this time the task of obtaining the Great Law Decree Technique is extremely dangerous, filled with great risks, with so many powers and strong beings obstructing, no one can be sure of successfully acquiring the Great Law Decree Technique.
Even if the power of these people were combined, when facing the obstructive forces, they remained insufficient and at a disadvantage.
At this time, even if they subdued other parties and gained leadership, they couldn't achieve success. This wouldn't only result in failure to obtain any merit but also risk losing more than anticipated, ultimately bearing the greatest responsibility.
"This situation is not impossible to break; I already have some confidence, just as long as we can unite these forces," Zhang Taiyue transmitted his message to Wang Xijue.
To a fellow from the Civil Officials lineage, there was no doubt that the other party was his supporter; it was imperative not to conceal anything from him.
Perhaps, to others, this mission seemed destined for nothing but failure, but Zhang Taiyue saw it differently. Although the force assembled by Shenxiao Sect was indeed formidable, it still had vulnerabilities.
Just like their side, many backers lacked firm support and were not fully committed to following through thick and thin. Similarly, within the ranks of Shenxiao Sect, there existed internal scheming and individual agendas that hindered their full potential.
This was the loophole. To others, even if this loophole was recognized, they couldn't seize the right moment to exploit it, which is why everyone knew but no resolution was achieved.
But for Zhang Taiyue, recognizing this loophole meant he had adequate capabilities to seize it and turn the tide.
As long as he could integrate the forces of the Jade Emperor Lineage, he felt confident in succeeding.
Indeed, this was fraught with great risks, verging on the dangerous.
Yet, at this juncture for Zhang Taiyue, taking risks carried a possible chance of success; otherwise, the eventual outcome of inaction was clear—nothing but failure.
Where is success without some risk? For Zhang Taiyue, the risks were proportionate to the rewards, wholly justifying a gamble.
The others, despite varying expressions, after much consideration, agreed to Zhang Taiyue's request, temporarily recognizing his provisional leadership in Myriad Laws Realm.
They had no choice; they were also in a dilemma whether to ensure the plan's success or evade responsibility. Either way, they had to make some move, which would absolve them of any blame in case of failure.
On the contrary, if one couldn't dare to step up while others hesitated in times of action, this would later become grounds for accountability and their faults.
"Given this, I ask that no one acts with duplicity going forward!" said Zhang Taiyue in a stern voice.
At that moment, the sky burst aloud, a brilliant golden light erupted from Thousand Divine Mountain, and that aura unfurled.
"The people of Shenxiao Sect were not lying, it truly is the Great Law Decree Technique!"
"These are the characteristics of Supreme Divine Power!"
"Even if it isn't the Great Law Decree Technique we pursue, it is undoubtedly a Supreme Divine Power without any doubt!"
"We can't wait any longer; this Supreme Divine Power must not fall into the hands of others."
"If we cannot bring back the Great Law Decree Technique, taking this Supreme Divine Power back will also be a great achievement!"
