Central Heaven North Pole Emperor Ziwei, holding sway over the celestial latitudes and longitudes, known as the Ancestor Master of Ten Thousand Stars, Master of the Stars, the venerated one among the host of stars.

But now, even as the one seated in the Imperial Honors, Vice Lord of the Heavenly Court, Emperor Ziwei is only titularly known as the sovereign ruler of all stars. Some powerful Star Lords and Star Gods govern themselves, obey deployment but not proclamation, and some even disregard the orders outright, treating them with complete indifference.

Thus, to some extent, the situation Emperor Ziwei faces among the host of stars and gods is no different from that of the Jade Emperor, and this is why, having reached this step, Emperor Ziwei has cause to strike back.

No one wishes to be a puppet in name only, not the Jade Emperor, and not Emperor Ziwei, either. Both are trying everything they can to seize back their authority.

Among these stars, aside from the Fire Virtue Star Lord, a figure at the level of a Taoist Monarch, there are also many Star Gods of the Southern Dipper who disregard Emperor Ziwei's authority as nothing.

The Southern Dipper Six Star Lords are precisely the Heavenly Officials who oversee all beings in the world—humans, demons, spirits, gods, immortals. The Jade Purity True Monarch, Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, is their direct superior. Therefore, the palaces of the Southern Dipper Six Star Lords fall under the jurisdiction of Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life.

Just from this division of duties, it's clear that the Southern Dipper Six Star Lords belong to a dual structure. As Star Gods, they are subject to the restraint of Emperor Ziwei, the Master of the Stars, but their direct superiors are the Emperor of South Pole Eternal Life.

If the strength of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life is insufficient, or if these many Star Gods of the Southern Dipper are willing, they would naturally accept the edicts of Emperor Ziwei.

But if they are unwilling, and with the existence of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, even if Emperor Ziwei is discontented, they still can obey deployment but not proclamation, completely disregarding Emperor Ziwei's edicts.

Under the command of the entire Southern Pole Imperial Palace, led by these Southern Dipper Six Star Lords, they hold the authority of the Imperial Palace, oversee many affairs of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace, not only disobeying Emperor Ziwei's edicts but also often clashing with the Ziwei Emperor Palace.

It should be known that they are all Star Gods, and to a certain extent, the cultivation resources they require have much in common. Thus, in the process of expanding the world, worlds that are useful to the many Star Gods under Emperor Ziwei's command are likewise beneficial to the many Star Gods of the Southern Dipper.

With interests at stake and no subordination, strength will naturally carry the day. For these matters, there have been no few conflicts between them, and over time, the grudges between the two sides have naturally grown greater and are even more difficult to reconcile.

Perhaps because the Emperor of South Pole Eternal Life is present, or perhaps because there is Emperor Ziwei, this major threat exists. Although the Southern Dipper Six Star Lords sometimes have differing opinions on certain matters, generally speaking, they have still been able to seek common ground while reserving differences and cooperate sincerely.

After all, these Star Lords have followed the Emperor of Longevity in expanding the world and have also joined hands in suppressing True Immortal Level Emperors, sharing life-and-death experiences.

Moreover, since their paths are different and there are no conflicts of interest like the path contest that cannot coexist, it is even easier to cooperate.

After all, to put it bluntly, the current situation between heaven and earth is complex and ever-changing. Not to mention the changes in the situation among all sides between heaven and earth, just within the Heavenly Court itself, there are many factions with endless strife.

These several Star Lords, all from the Southern Dipper, have their own considerable strengths but still find it difficult to truly hold their ground within the Heavenly Court. Instead, only by uniting and banding together can they have the qualification to confront other parties and protect their own interests.

It is precisely because of such a foundation that their cooperation has been able to last for so many years, and if nothing unexpected happens, it can continue.

Now that the Great Fate Technique has emerged, it is an excellent opportunity for the Fate Controller Star Lord, and for the rest of the Star Lords, it is also a chance to enhance their own strength.

These few Star Lords form an alliance; though they are a sizable presence within the Heavenly Court, ultimately, they lack a strong figure at the level of a Taoist Monarch. Thus, when facing sovereigns like the Jade Emperor and Emperor Ziwei, they still find themselves at a disadvantage.

In the past, it might have been okay, merely a matter of having a little less benefit.

But now, since Emperor Ziwei has turned coat and joined hands with the Jade Emperor, they wish to take back their authority. Fire Virtue Star Lord is the first in line, and naturally, themselves and others will follow.

Faced with such a crisis, even with the Emperor of South Pole Eternal Life to rely on, they still do not dare to place all their hopes in the Great Emperor since no one can fathom what this Great Emperor truly thinks, especially now that the Jade Emperor and Emperor Ziwei can bring out the Great Law Decree Technique and the Great Star Technique, making the Great Emperor's thoughts all the more intriguing.

Therefore, regardless of whether the Great Emperor will aid them, enhancing themselves is the best choice. In doing so, they also increase their value in the eyes of the Great Emperor, perhaps prompting the Emperor to take action.

As for whether the Fate Controller Star Lord, after advancing to a Taoist Monarch with the Great Fate Technique, will develop ambitions to take over the leading position of their alliance, they are not worried.

Not to mention the existing old agreements, they all ultimately fall under the Great Emperor, and the Fate Controller Star Lord is a colleague of theirs, not a nominal superior like Emperor Ziwei.
