Chapter 1042: Chapter 317: In the Future, I’ll Have to Guard Against You_3
The main thing is that during the Primordial era, Eastern King had no reputation at all.
In the Emperor Jun era, although he began to show promise, he was still just average.
No one would have thought he actually possessed strength comparable to the Heavenly Emperor, not weaker than him.
“Elder brother is right, in the Three Realms, there are countless powerful beings, and most probably there are others who can rival us. That Eastern King is not the only one, and there will be more in the future.”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi appeared.
He looked somewhat serious, and dared not underestimate the beings of future generations.
From Great Emperor Ziwei, he sensed an alarming potential.
The other’s cultivation was temporarily not as high as his, but in the future, he might very well surpass him.
From Great Emperor Ziwei, he felt a strong threat.
And Sun Wukong, truly terrifying.
Even though his current strength was not enough to warrant the attention of the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
But, being only a Great Heavenly Venerate, he almost matched the Supreme.
Once he steps into the Supreme Realm, Sun Wukong might directly challenge them, the Heavenly Emperors.
Moreover, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi knew from Shao Siming and the Senior Commander-in-Chief, that among the Three Realms, there was another like Yang Jian with such potential.
Also, the newly promoted Supreme Tathagata Buddha, is no simple being.
“Could it be that the Three Pure Ones abandoning the Ancient Gods was the right choice back then, with the potential of future beings truly greater than ours? When they were born, how weak they were, even though when we were first born, we could easily crush them, but later they could grow to rival us, and perhaps have even greater potential.”
Emperor Jun’s eyes flickered.
He knew very well, one reason they were abandoned back then was because their potential was not considered strong enough.
The other Ancient Gods didn’t know, but the Three Pure Ones mentioned it, saying that with them in the Three Realms, there was no hope,
because the Ancient Gods were too weak, with limited growth.
Upon hearing these words at that time, Emperor Jun almost cursed.
He was almost close to the power of the Three Pure Ones, yet he was still called weak.
At that time, he really wanted to ask the Three Pure Ones what exactly they meant by having potential?
“No, the Eastern King is also a being of our era, what future beings? The ones who can be called future beings are Sun Wukong and them. Is that little bit of strength considered strong?”
Emperor Jun frowned, suddenly realizing.
He should not classify the Eastern King among the future beings, as the other party was not, but an Innate Being,
“A Great Heavenly Venerate fighting a Supreme? And that’s not strong?”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was speechless.
Emperor Jun also couldn’t argue.
Because, a Great Heavenly Venerate fighting a Supreme is truly strong.
Even he couldn’t find a reason to refute.
At least, when he was a Great Heavenly Venerate, he couldn’t do that.
It was only at the peak of Sub-Paramount when he almost caught up with the combat power of a Supreme, but it was still difficult to defeat one.
“What do you mean?”
Emperor Jun asked.
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s eyes gleamed, and he smiled, “What I mean is, we need to change our view of future beings, treating them as rivals, even placing them on the same level as the Three Pure Ones.”
“Are you crazy?”
Emperor Jun frowned, truly believing the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was crazy.
Otherwise, how could he have such an idea?
Placing future beings on the same level as the Three Pure Ones? Are they even worthy?
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi glanced at Emperor Jun, sighed, “Elder brother, I am afraid you won’t take it seriously, that’s why I said this. According to my view, future beings, we should not only put them on the same level as the Three Pure Ones, but even above them.”
Emperor Jun was even more surprised, thinking the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was simply mad.
If not mad, how could he say such words, it’s truly ridiculous.
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi smiled faintly, “Hasn’t the elder brother noticed, future beings are somewhat escaping the control of the Three Pure Ones?”
“How could it be? Future beings are weak, how could they have such ability?”
He was indeed incredulous, thinking he might have heard wrong.
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s eyes flashed with brilliance, “Why not? If Lord Taishang and their plans are seen through by future beings, and then using this to blackmail the Three Pure Ones, what do you think the Three Pure Ones would do?”
“Sweep this world with blood, if it were me, I would definitely do so, mere ants, how dare they threaten me?”
Emperor Jun sneered.
Even Xihe couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Emperor Jun naturally wasn’t brainless, but he was too domineering and arrogant.
He never took future beings seriously, even if reminded by Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, he still didn’t care much, thinking future beings were just like that.
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was choked, he gave Emperor Jun a look, “That’s why elder brother is not the Three Pure Ones.”
Emperor Jun was also speechless.
Is such mutual attack really good?
However, Emperor Jun quickly reacted, he said in a deep voice, “Is it really as you said? Have the Three Pure Ones really lost control over future beings?”
“Not completely out of control yet, but nine out of ten, likely.”
Emperor Jun gasped, looking somewhat displeased.
If it was truly so, future beings were indeed quite terrifying.
“Actually, it’s just those few individuals, our main enemy is still the Three Pure Ones, but if we could incite conflict between the Three Pure Ones and future beings first, that would be the best.”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi said with a smile.
Emperor Jun’s eyes lit up, “Do you have a way?”
“No, just this thought alone.”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi smiled awkwardly.
Everyone was speechless, then why did you speak so eagerly just now?
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s expression turned serious, he said in a deep voice, “But one thing, elder brother must remember, we can no longer strike at future beings, damage them. Instead, we should befriend future beings, this way, future beings will lower their guard against us.”
Saying this, he gave a confident smile.
“If we get along well with future beings, the Three Pure Ones will definitely not be able to sit still, might even take action to vent their anger on future beings. If they persecute future beings, elder brother, what do you think will be the result?”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi smiled confidently.
“Naturally, future beings will oppose the Three Pure Ones, even if future beings’ strength is insufficient, we could help them, use them as the vanguard against the Three Pure Ones. As long as we suppress or even kill the Three Pure Ones, as for future beings, conquering them would be easy.”
Emperor Jun’s eyes lit up.
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s smile became more radiant, Emperor Jun finally understood.
At that moment, Emperor Jun stared at him, said cautiously, “You are really too cunning, I must guard against you in the future, lest I am used by you without even knowing.”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s smile instantly froze on his face.
Why is Emperor Jun’s thinking so entirely different?
