Human Brain Farm-Chapter 429 - 414 True Ambition
Jade Emperor...
The expressions of the crowd changed slightly.
After all, the Jade Emperor is the one who most desires the Saint Position and is the closest to obtaining it.
In this alliance, his gains are the greatest.
He is the strongest.
If anyone here wants to compete with him, he is likely to obtain the strongest seat of the Saints, akin to the chief position of a Saint like Hongjun.
To become like Hongjun!
That is truly an existence of supreme authority, how could one not be tempted?
"Gentlemen, what do you think?"
The Jade Emperor still wore a smile, like a breath of spring, giving off the impression of a wise ruler.
"Your Majesty Jade Emperor, please allow us some time to think..." Lady Guanyin broke out in a slight cold sweat.
The dangerous aura emitted by the Jade Emperor at this moment was no weaker than that of the previous Bo'er God, perhaps even more powerful and terrifying, utterly making one's skin crawl.
"Yes, Your Majesty Jade Emperor... please allow us some time to consider." King Qinguang and others hurriedly spoke up,
The current Jade Emperor was forcing them to take a stance.
It was as if, if you didn't join, you would be silenced.
Unlike the well-known authority of the Human Emperor.
The divine authority of the Jade Emperor, aside from the Saints, was essentially unknown; no one knew the terrifying power this entity possessed.
Those who witnessed it mostly perished.
One must know, the Jade Emperor, who wields special authority, is entirely different from a regular Half-Saint.
Some even say that even Zhenyuanzi, the oldest Half-Saint who is contemporary with the Saints, wouldn't be a match for this newly risen Jade Emperor; he would be suppressed to death.
The rules of the Celestial Court, unknown by any, are terrifying.
"This atmosphere..."
Zhu Zhengwei, standing beside, broke out in a slight cold sweat too.
Unexpectedly, with just a gentle push, trying to persuade them into joining, the always mild Jade Emperor finally revealed his ambition and true nature!
This current Jade Emperor felt like a madman.
Like a terrifying madman who had reincarnated countless times, with a thousand faces, bringing together countless lifetimes.
The Jade Emperor, the god of gods, always with a dignified, mild, and grand manner, echoed across the Three Realms, being gentle and friendly, even cracking jokes, like just teasing about a red bellyband, entertaining everyone.
But when did he ever show such a look?
Zhu Zhengwei felt a strong sense of unease, accompanied by a frightening thought.
The authority of the Human Emperor comes with extreme side effects.
Could the authority of the Jade Emperor be without consequence?
This might be his true self.
Just like Li Shimin whom I saw, outwardly upholding the appearance of a wise ruler, while secretly harboring deeply exhausted eye bags.
He also wants to escape the deadly side effects.
Zhu Zhengwei's face sank.
"How did he join so easily??"
"What is he planning to do?"
As the initiator, he could not foresee it developing into this situation.
Indeed, he was too confident, having taken measure of a Saint and feeling a bit inflated, overestimating himself.
"Gentlemen, what do you say?"
The Jade Emperor spoke again, "If you agree, and I achieve the Saint Position, all present will have a significant chance at the Saint Position as well... I promise you!"
"We..."
Everyone exchanged glances, ultimately agreeing.
"Very well." The Jade Emperor said, "Then, I will take over from where Zhenyuanzi left off, and explain the plan for this action, confronting head-on, first, rescuing SpongeBob... second, we will strike at the Saint Palace again."
"The Saint's Daoist Palace is already empty." As a confidant and blood kin of the Jade Emperor, Yang Jian curiously asked, "Hasn't it already been emptied?"
"Who said so? There's still one last thing inside, a slumbering Saint." The Jade Emperor revealed.
Everyone was in a state of extreme shock.
Especially Guanyin, who was utterly astounded: Previously it felt like Zhenyuanzi had gone mad, and now the Jade Emperor too? They actually want to kill a Saint and seize the position?
The Jade Emperor laughed, "This is a unique opportunity, the best opportunity... No timing is more appropriate than this; the longer it drags on, the lower the chances of success."
"Only I, as the Jade Emperor, and Zhenyuanzi, who competed for Saint together, know how vast the gap between us and the Saints is." He spoke indifferently, as if talking about trivial matters irrelevant to him.
"I, along with Daoist friend Jade Emperor, probably know the most. I indeed know the gap," Zhu Zhengwei replied woodenly, appearing sincere and honest.
The Jade Emperor continued, "The essence of deploying the war is to storm into the Saint Palace and ambush the severely wounded Saint... so then why don't we just go directly for the sneak attack? This attack holds the greatest chance."
"Moreover, as Daoist friend Zhenyuanzi has said, even when he saw the Saint, entered the room, the Saint had no reaction, clearly wounded to the extreme... Therefore, this is also the only opportunity I believe could succeed."
No wonder I was asked these questions before.
Indeed, the Jade Emperor is a decisive and fierce person, planning to take a daring move and insist on attacking the Saint, simply snatching the Saint Position in one go.
And such decisive and ruthless beings are the most terrifying.
"Even though a Saint is severely wounded and asleep, the danger is extremely high."
The Jade Emperor looked at everyone, "You must have a determination to die, but it's also your only chance to become a Saint."
"Together, we will make a surprise attack on that slumbering Saint. I will take the lead, seize their Saint Position, and swear an oath to the Celestial Dao, promising all of you, if I achieve Sainthood, I shall subsequently elevate each of you to the Saint Position."
He looked at them with an extremely cold gaze, earnestly giving everyone a glance, "You have all fought to this position in the Primordial Chaos universe, knowing full well, that opportunities don't come for free, every one of us has survived countless near-deaths to seize opportunities and fought to this position, right?"
Their first reaction was that he's mad!
Not only was Zhenyuanzi mad, the Jade Emperor was mad too!
Yet, Zhu Zhengwei knew he was just pretending to be mad, while the Jade Emperor was truly mad.
This is way too exciting, isn't it?
How dare the Jade Emperor?
And Zhu Zhengwei himself felt chills run down his spine, "Only I know, it's not severely injured, but in slumber... the soul consciousness, drifting in the Primordial Chaos universe, the body is merely an empty shell.... but if the Jade Emperor leads us in a sneak attack, can he really kill them?"
A Saint nevertheless!
Could it be that when the body faces a fatal crisis, the soul would suddenly return and awaken?
This is a highly risky gamble!
But the Jade Emperor also considered such a risk.
It seems, these beings from the Primordial Chaos universe, in their desire for the Saint Position, become immortally desirous, far beyond what I imagined.
Zhu Zhengwei took a deep breath, "What the hell is this! Initially, I wanted to bluff and trick them onto a pirate ship, yet I ended up being the one on the pirate ship?"
"If the Jade Emperor fails, we will all die."
"If the Jade Emperor succeeds, he obtains the Saint Position, and I end up creating a new cosmic enemy for myself from the Yin Side; it seems I'm at a huge loss no matter the outcome," Zhu Zhengwei thought with silent frustration.
Life is really hard for me.
Zhenyuanzi took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty Jade Emperor's plan is too perilous. I have three questions, and if they can be resolved, everyone would feel assured following through with this plan."
