The crowd buzzed with discussion, feeling that both parties made sense.
The Jade Emperor's words, in fact, weren't completely without reason.
After all, the Great Emperor Ziwei indeed was his subject, and if the Jade Emperor was still around, wouldn't a subject ascending to power be usurpation?
However, the Heavenly Court is ultimately different from any other.
The Heavenly Court must maintain the welfare of the beings of the Three Realms. With the Jade Emperor faking his death, he had already committed a grave error.
If we were to allow the chaos in the Three Realms to continue, no one knows just how many beings would perish.
But it is certain that, amidst the chaos of the Three Realms, living beings would suffer as though in hell, devoid of any happiness.
Therefore, the Great Emperor Ziwei also did nothing wrong.
Any Immortals and Buddhas with even a hint of benevolence towards living beings felt that he did well.
