114: Zhang Jidu: ​​Your Majesty, it's time to put in a little more effort.

Deep within the Endless Starry Sky, where many Innate Sacred Beings gathered, Dijun's gaze was somewhat complex and bewildered.

Ultimately, only melancholy remained on his face.

Although he had long suspected this, seeing this scene still made him feel somewhat uneasy.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, you have arrived. This is our summary of the Heavenly Court's development and its future direction. Please take a look, Your Majesty, and see if there is anything inappropriate."

Jidu chuckled and spoke to Dijun, handing over the contents of this meeting and the division of their resources.

However, he was no fool; on the surface, some things still had to be given. For instance, his own share of thirty percent of the resources was written as ten percent.

The portions for the Demonic Path and the future salaries for the beings of the Heavenly Court were each increased by ten percent.

Of course, some detailed matters were also included.

This included how they should recruit Innate Living Beings from the Primordial World in the future and how to allocate resources to them.

Within the Heavenly Court, the concept of divine positions was created, and there was even a proposal to create a ranking list; those on it would hold divine positions and could be considered the core personnel of the Heavenly Court.

The benefits for these beings almost matched the treatment in the Demonic Path.

As for the rest, they would be the periphery of the Heavenly Court. These individuals would not hold divine positions or offices, equivalent to an auxiliary army. Although they could obtain some benefits, they could never compare to the benefits of the Demonic Path back then.

One could only say they were much better off than ordinary Innate Living Beings without any backing.

The final category was purely a ragtag army, invited by the Heavenly Court to perform certain tasks.

However, Jidu was no fool and had also provided a promotion system.

For example, how long it took to Breakthrough from a True Immortal to a Heavenly Immortal, or to the Golden Immortal level within the current Immortal Path, to become a core member.

The stronger you were and the faster you progressed, the sooner you could enter the core of the Heavenly Court.

Looking at the many details and divisions, Dijun felt his head spin; it was so complex, and there was even a Heavenly List—entering this list meant becoming the core of the Heavenly Court.

These beings would have their true spirit imprinted within it; even if they fell, they could be resurrected by paying certain resources and costs.

The perfection of it left Dijun speechless. For a moment, he couldn't even distinguish who the Heavenly Emperor really was.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to add? If so, we can discuss it further; if not, it's settled."

Jidu looked at Dijun with a smile, his face appearing incredibly sincere.

Dijun couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle; this person had thought of everything, so what was left for him to do?

After a long silence, he braced himself and spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Jidu has done very well. You truly are the grand steward of my Heavenly Court. I naturally have no objections."

Jidu gave a faint smile. "Hehe, that's good. It just so happens that Your Majesty and Taiyi arrived at the right time. Next, we should discuss the matter of dealing with that East King Duke."

"East King Duke is far too arrogant, actually establishing an Immortal Court in the East Sea. Does he even have any respect for my Heavenly Court?"

"Since that's the case, we should consider our attitude toward dealing with the Immortal Court."

"Your Majesty, I wonder how you and Taiyi view this?"

Dijun and Taiyi looked troubled. They were aware of this matter, but the strength of that East King Duke was not to be underestimated; he was also a Daluo existence.

Compared to them, he was not lacking in the slightest.

The most crucial point was that he possessed the means to help experts of the Immortal Path achieve Breakthroughs.

Many ordinary Innate Living Beings had completed their Breakthroughs after joining the Immortal Court.

At this moment, Jidu glanced at the Innate Sacred Beings he had brought along.

Suddenly, one of the Innate Sacred Beings present stepped forward and spoke angrily:

"Your Majesty, why are you hesitating? I believe you should also work a bit harder and let us see the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor."

"Otherwise, with your current attitude and strength, how can you command respect?"

"We have even discussed the methods to strengthen the Heavenly Court. Surely you can't fail to even deal with the Immortal Court? If so, are you still fit to be our Heavenly Emperor?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar. Then, one Innate Sacred Being after another chimed in.

"Indeed, Your Majesty, you should personally take action and strike a heavy blow against the Immortal Court."

"Take action personally! Strike the Immortal Court!"

...Dijun and Taiyi felt quite embarrassed and ultimately said nothing. The reason Dijun's status as Heavenly Emperor was unstable was partly because no one acknowledged him.

On the other hand, it was because he had no political achievements whatsoever.

Jidu did not speak at this moment; all of this was naturally his doing.

No one knew better than he who was backing the Immortal Court.

Hongjun knew that he wouldn't dare to personally wipe out the Immortal Court.

Because if he really did so, with the Karma he currently possessed, killing an Innate Sacred Being and countless Innate Living Beings would allow the Heavenly Dao to expel him at any time.

He can't take action, but that doesn't mean other beings can't.

Dijun's position as Heavenly Emperor was not yet consolidated, and he couldn't even fully utilize the power of that status. If he wanted to go further, this was the opportunity—the only opportunity.

It just so happened that he also wanted an assistant.

Having the Heavenly Emperor work a bit harder was simply too perfect.
