Currently, the situation is not optimistic, with all parties unwilling to see the Jade Emperor Lineage break the deadlock and destroy the current benefit system.

Indeed, there are some strong ambitious forces who are not satisfied with the current distribution of benefits, but they are only a minority. For most forces, they are relatively content because they cannot guarantee that even after a redistribution, their gains would be any greater.

The reshuffling of benefits is filled with too much uncertainty. Unless it's a force extremely confident in their own strengths, the forces that are neither too strong nor too weak are actually hesitant, as they cannot guarantee that reshuffling benefits would work out better for them and allow them to receive a greater share.

It's important to understand that under the current circumstances, with fixed benefits in this world, everyone has a rough idea of how things should be divided. Many ambitious forces aren't really looking to completely overthrow the powerful forces; rather, they are more interested in carving out a share from those top forces.

After all, making others give up some benefits and completely pushing them out are two different scenarios. The former might lead to compromise and concession from others, but the latter could provoke a strong backlash, inevitably leading to a lose-lose situation, or even a collapse where everyone suffers.

Moreover, seizing some benefits is easy, but to overthrow a top immortal sect demands a price these forces simply cannot afford to fully pay.

Hence, even if the benefits system were to be reshuffled, it doesn't mean they would necessarily gain more. In fact, it is possible that top forces might concede some benefits only to then slice off more from these weaker forces to compensate their own losses.

Thus, in some situations, although these weaker forces might gain less under the current structure, they prefer it as it offers stability and steady progress.

Once the structure is reshuffled, they are likely to face chaos, ending up as mere cannon fodder for others, paving the way for others even at the cost of their own downfall.

Everyone is wise to this, and no one wishes to be used by others.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, the majority still tends towards maintaining stability, particularly with top forces stepping forward to advocate for it, these forces will inevitably respond.

On the other hand, although the power of the Jade Emperor might disrupt the current equilibrium and satisfy many forces' desire for a reshuffle in the Realms of Heavenly Seas, these forces are still observing, waiting for the Jade Emperor faction to make a move. Apart from a few committed supporters, most are fence-sitters, leaning towards the stronger side.

This is the dilemma facing the Jade Emperor faction; if all their forces were truly united, even if not superior, they would not be too weak in an outright battle.

But the crux is exactly this; their forces cannot fully unite, with most allies around them neither trustworthy nor reliable.

This is also the predicament caused by the Shenxiao Lineage after taking a stand; even knowing it's a trap, they have no choice but to enter.

Now the situation is such that facing such a strong formation, even if the opponents have not fully united, the possibility of their own failure is very high.

The purpose of the Jade Emperor Lineage coming to the Myriad Laws Realm is to seize the Great Law Decree Technique, unlike other forces who are here merely for a simple trial. If they fail, no one may blame them, at most they lose their chance.

In the Jade Emperor faction, if these people truly return empty-handed, even though everyone understands that it's because of the circumstances and not due to their fault, they cannot escape the punishments they must face nor the responsibilities they must shoulder.

This is the difference in the system structure between them and other parties; no matter the reason, as long as the task is uncompleted and the plan fails, someone or some faction must admit guilt, which is inevitable, even though everyone knows you are wronged.

Thus, this negotiation and cooperation among all parties, facing almost no chance of victory, is actually about sharing responsibilities. Whoever speaks recklessly could very likely become the scapegoat.

Prince Yu just spoke directly to me not because he favors me, but because I am easy to bully.

After all, he is from the Imperial Clan. Even though not all members of the Imperial Clan support him, he cannot simply shift the blame onto the Imperial Clan as it would draw some people's dissatisfaction.

Similarly, since the Imperial Clan cannot fully support him, Prince Yu is close to the Civil Officials faction, and he needs the support of Civil Officials to have a voice in the Court. He certainly cannot throw the problems onto the Civil Officials faction.

The Factory Guard is even less to be mentioned; the brain of the Factory Guard is a confidant of the Jade Emperor, they are the Jade Emperor's family servants, their every action is implicitly backed by the Jade Emperor. Blaming the Factory Guard means smearing the Jade Emperor's name, Prince Yu is not that foolish.

And turning around, it seems only these Noble Officials are easy to bully, and since Noble Officials are related to all sides, and there is severe infighting among themselves, thus they are undoubtedly the best choice.

And Marquis Ningyuan being a newly promoted Noble Official, is extracted by the Jade Emperor from the Military General lineage to divide the power in the Court. He is seen as a traitor to the lineage of the Court and is not genuinely one of the Noble Officials, not yet recognized, undoubtedly making him the best person to blame.

However, this Marquis Ningyuan is not an easy person; he has risen among the many factions of the Jade Emperor and has even gained the Jade Emperor's recognition. Even if the Jade Emperor uses him, it also proves his capabilities; otherwise, he would have no value to be used.

After hearing Prince Yu's inquiry, he knew that trouble was coming, that the other party wanted to shift the blame onto him, and he immediately reacted by feigning ignorance, pretending to be confused and slippery, taking an attitude of "you all decide, I just follow your arrangement." Even if it fails in the end, it has little to do with me, it's your decision.

Hearing this response, Prince Yu also frowned slightly, thinking to himself that Marquis Ningyuan is not easy to deal with, and he turned his gaze toward the Civil Officials faction.

And immediately, someone from the Civil Officials faction nodded and said: "Marquis Ningyuan is joking, who doesn't know that Marquis Ningyuan is great in battle and unmatched in strategy, your title as Earl is truly and deservedly earned, without any adulteration."

His words seemed like praise, but they were actually a setup, meaning don't try to play dumb.

The speaker, Wang Xijue, is the current Minister of Education of Imperial Academy, a well-known rising star in the Civil Officials faction.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Ningyuan seemed determined, and feigning simplicity, he smiled and said: "Minister Wang has misunderstood, the reason I am where I am today is partly because the Emperor values me, partly good luck, relying on my reckless courage to fight, and the strategy from you military strategists, and some luck. I have no problem charging into battle, but if you ask me to strategize, that's a joke."

He did not admit any skill in strategizing at all, but just mentioned that he is valued by the Jade Emperor and also depends on the military strategists' planning.

And he directly hinted to these people, you can let me fight, but don't ask me to strategize.

As far as Marquis Ningyuan is concerned, in this situation, the casualties among the Trialists in the Myriad Laws Realm are inevitable, but fortunately, it's just some losses, as long as he doesn't take the blame or get punished, he can eventually recover.

A moment of silence followed, there were eight or nine people present, but suddenly there was a total stillness.

Obviously, even the other parties did not expect that Marquis Ningyuan would be so indifferent to face, regardless of what you say, showing an attitude of adamantly refusing to take the blame.

"Hehe, is this how you all serve the Emperor?" A scornful laugh sounded, changing the expressions of everyone in attendance.
