Regarding himself, he has made countless plans and schemes, even taking various precautionary measures, but these plans and measures are essentially meaningless.
When the Taoist Monarch makes a move, his will is everything. Everyone must act according to the other party's rules, and those unwilling to abide by the rules have no qualification to participate at all.
Even if he is a True Immortal of the True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer, even if his strength is top-notch in this world, without stepping into the Taoist Monarch level, he is but a chess piece.
Even for that Taoist Monarch, as long as he wishes, even Taoist Monarchs must act according to his rules, with little right to choose.
However, even so, for the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, this is already a good choice, at least in this way, he himself is not without chances. As long as he participates in this struggle, he too has the opportunity to seize what he needs.
Of course, this time the situation has made him realize reality, aware that even his strength could not obtain true autonomy, still being subject to those stronger than him.
This is undoubtedly making the ambition of Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch to enhance his strength even more urgent. In the upcoming chaotic situations, only by stepping into the Taoist Monarch level, can he truly become a player and have more opportunities to choose, otherwise, he can only drift with the tide, without autonomy.
...
"Great Fate Technique! This divine skill is also a good option for Church Master." Zhao Baiyang stood with his hands behind him in the Void, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Originally, he thought that bringing many disciples to participate in the Myriad Laws Realm trial was merely to protect them on their paths, never needing to take action himself, but he did not expect such an unexpected series of events, even giving himself a chance to partake.
Unlike others, Zhao Baiyang's attitude has always been calm; even after seeing the successive actions of Great Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Jade, these four powerful Taoist Monarchs battling in the Chaos Void, he remained unmoved, his heart undisturbed.
Anything in this Chaos Void is illusory; only strength is essential. As long as one's own strength is strong enough, then all other influences will dissipate like clouds and smoke.
Even upon seeing the power of Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei and the future chaos in the world, Zhao Baiyang not only had no worries but even felt a trace of joy in his heart.
After all, although he is in discord with the Jade Emperor, if one really had to choose sides, to a certain extent, everyone's interests being sought are similar; they are all suppressed by those veteran Taoist Monarchs, by Top Immortal Sects.
The development of the Heterodox Alliance has reached a bottleneck, and it's not easy to ascend to the next level, even facing resistance at every turn.
Without the Jade Emperor and these Newly Ascended Dao Lords stirring the waters, just relying on Zhao Baiyang alone, the Heterodox Alliance could not continue to develop, let alone reach a higher level; after all, there are too many previous beneficiaries who are too powerful for one party to break through.
On the contrary, only when these individuals act, can the situation become chaotic, and in this chaotic situation, they have the chance to rise and gain more benefits.
The Great Fate Technique may not be very useful to others, but if it could be mastered by Zhao Baiyang, although not a perfect fit, he could still bring out eighty to ninety percent of its power.
The Path of the Three Suns, which cultivates the past, present, and future Dharma Bodies, is inherently a destiny-related path for Zhao Baiyang. If he can use the Great Fate Technique to anchor his past and future, it would surely be a significant boost for his Path of the Three Suns.
Of course, that would be the best outcome, but Zhao Baiyang is not the kind of person who insists on having his way. While he desires the Great Fate Technique, he does not consider it indispensable; if it cannot be obtained or the price is too high, Zhao Baiyang would decisively withdraw.
Compared to other True Immortal Strong, they are all stuck at the level of the True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer, unable to break through the constraints to ascend as Taoist Monarchs.
But Zhao Baiyang is different. Over the years, he has clearly figured out the path to his future divinity. And after he has condensed his Future Dharma Body, the way to becoming a Taoist Lord has already been laid out before him, making his promotion all but assured.
Others wish to break through but find it impossible, whereas Zhao Baiyang refrains from breaking through simply because he chooses not to for the time being.
Indeed, even if he were to become a Taoist Lord under the current circumstances, he, like other newly ascended Dao Lords, would be unable to seize authority from those established Taoist Lords and would instead become a target for others.
Indeed, after becoming a Taoist Lord, one can change identities and become a player in this world, a chess player. But a chess player needs not only strength but also the appropriate pieces and sufficient capability to play the game.
In his current state, even if he were to become a Taoist Lord, unable to gain authority and without a group of strong followers, he would be incapable of making any moves on this grand chessboard of the heavens and earth, remaining an isolated force.
Even more so, as strong as a True Immortal of the Sixth Heavenly Layer may be, in the eyes of many Dao Lords, he is still but a chess piece. As long as one acts with restraint, he does not draw too much attention from these Dao Lords.
On the contrary, should he ascend to Dao Lord, he would immediately attract attention from all sides, the wariness of veteran Dao Lords, and the courting from newly ascended ones, compelling him to join one side or another.
Whether he chooses to follow a veteran Dao Lord or join the Newly Ascended Dao Lords Alliance, he will not provoke an attack from the other side, at least not before the conflict has truly erupted.
However, if he were to ascend to Dao Lord while still wishing to remain neutral and not join any side, then he would inevitably become an existence that neither side can tolerate.
Once ascended to Dao Lord, one must choose a side; there is no neutrality for Dao Lords, or to put it another way, no Dao Lord has the privilege of neutrality.
For Zhao Baiyang, joining the ranks of the veteran Dao Lords would not garner him any authority, nor would joining the newly ascended Dao Lords; he would also have to assume tremendous risks.
Neither option is acceptable; therefore, he does not wish to ascend to Dao Lord at this time. Instead, as a powerful and valuable chess piece at the True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer, he can afford not to choose a side, which is by far the best solution.
Clever individuals are not limited to Zhao Baiyang alone, he believes there are other powerhouses in this world with similar plans, all biding their time, waiting for the right moment.
Even many Dao Lords are fully aware of this but do not mind. They can tolerate and accept Zhao Baiyang's approach.
For veteran Dao Lords, if they can tolerate newly ascended ones, how could they possibly care about the intentions of these True Immortals? They only need one to make their stance clear and identify friends from foes upon their ascension to Dao Lord.
For the newly ascended Dao Lords, their alliance is inherently at a disadvantage, so naturally, they will not pressure others lightly; especially not until the other party has outright rejected them, as pushing too hard may drive them into the camp of the veteran Dao Lords.
"Entering the game too early can indeed help accumulate assets early, but also becoming the center of attention too soon carries its risks, and the resources that newly ascended Dao Lords can build up are still too limited," thought Zhao Baiyang.
His current approach, albeit risky, remains flexible and open to many possibilities before the true great war commences, potentially being in a much better position than some Dao Lords.
Of course, he is aware that many are watching him, knowing that the moment he becomes a Dao Lord, he will have to choose his side instantly, which would surely provoke one side to act.
However, this is still much better than the situation for many True Immortal Sixth Layer powerhouses. At least like now, in the battle for supreme divine powers in the Myriad Laws Realm, he can choose to enter the fray or not, and if necessary, he also has the option to withdraw.
