Although the first round of the Myriad Laws Realm trial allowed the Great Law Decree Technique and Great Star Technique to spread, sparking a massive battle among Dao Lords,
and the emergence of the Great Fate Technique has drawn the attention of many, making the trial of the Myriad Laws Realm look like mere embellishment, even somewhat anticlimactic,
Pei Xuanjing, having initiated this trial, will not declare it over just like that. After all, he was quite satisfied with the geniuses and True Immortal Seeds that have emerged from this trial.
Moreover, he believes that once the first round of the trial concludes, these Heaven's Proud individuals, once aware of the happenings in the outside world, will clearly realize the shifting landscape between Heaven and Earth.
For the numerous True Immortals, witnessing the clashes between Dao Lords and being aware of the chaos amongst Heaven and Earth generates a sense of urgency to enhance their own strength to prepare for the upcoming situation.
As for those who are not yet True Immortals, the sense of crisis is likely even more profound; after all, if True Immortals themselves sense a dangerous future, they are even less assured of emerging unscathed.
If True Immortals can be treated as pawns by Dao Lords, then those below True Immortals are not even considered as such.
Don't think it's a good thing; consider that while a chess piece might still be protected by the player when it's useful, if you're not even regarded as a chess piece, devoid of value, why would the player care?
It's like some believe artificial intelligence will replace overworked employees, an exaggeration upon reflection.
For small company owners, employing AI or robots entails maintenance and repairs. In contrast, hiring an employee for three thousand can self-medicate when sick and even have their sick pay deducted—there's a vast cost difference between the two.
Additionally, any profession might be replaced, except accounting. After all, AI and robots can't go to jail for the boss, but accountants can.
Although it may sound harsh, the truth sometimes is as follows: don't fear being used by others—it signifies you're valuable. If you lack even exploitable value, you'll be readily cast aside.
Right now, these Heaven's Prouds are in such a state. As the chaos unveils, without having Tao-Certifying as True Immortals, no matter how talented they are, if they lack the value to be used, they are worthless in the eyes of the Dao Lord players.
On the other hand, while True Immortals serve as pawns, no chess player would casually waste their pieces before the Chessboard results in victory or defeat, unless absolutely necessary, instead preserving them as much as possible.
"Let them begin the second phase of the trial, then take out the Great Fate Technique and let these True Immortals fight and vie for it based on their abilities!" Pei Xuanjing said to Yu Zhenzi.
"Do we need to intervene on our side?" Yu Zhenzi asked.
Not that one wouldn't be tempted, for even a supreme-level divine power could be used to enhance one's foundation.
And even if it's of no use to the powerhouses of the Shenxiao Sect, they could completely assist others like the Fate Controller Star Lord in seizing it.
Pei Xuanjing shook his head and said, "If the Fate Controller Star Lord seeks your aid, you may intervene. But if there's no request from them, just act as if unaware, and our people shall not interfere."
He didn't have much interest in the Great Fate Technique; even if it were obtained, it wouldn't be of much help, and since he had already blocked many Dao Lords, he should maintain a stance.
Regarding the Fate Controller Star Lord, from what Pei Xuanjing knows, it's unlikely they would ask for assistance, even though they surely would help if asked.
But unless necessary, the Fate Controller Star Lord would refrain from doing so, as they too need to demonstrate their own value.
Just as discussed in the Star Lord Temple, with the shifting forces of Heaven and Earth, True Immortals can only serve as pawns, while Dao Lords can act as players. They need to augment their power to secure their position between Heaven and Earth.
Keep in mind that even though the Fate Controller Star Lord advancing to Dao Lord status can make them a player, compared to many mighty Dao Lords, they too need to seek alliances or protection.
Choosing the Taoist Lord Alliance of newly ascended Dao Lords, under the protection of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, will undoubtedly offer greater safety.
If it were the past, for newly ascended Dao Lords aspiring to claim more authority within the Divine Land World, joining the newly ascended Dao Lord Alliance might have been an attractive option, as established Dao Lords would grant them no authority.
But with today's evolving situation, as chaos rises and various Dao Lords start making their moves, signifying the beginning of a reshuffle, joining under the Longevity Taoist Monarch and awaiting ultimate victory means aligning with the winners to divide the spoils of authority.
However, even with a decision to join this Dao Lord's command, there's a stark difference between earning the Dao Lord status through one's own merit and joining after Ascending with the aid of another.
The Fate Controller Star Lord, desiring more, needs to display greater value. Only in doing so can they expect more once victory is secured in the future.
If now they were to seek help, it might indeed spare them many troubles, but compared to the future, it would undoubtedly plant the seeds of misfortune right from the start.
