"It's not that the Jade Emperor doesn't want Time, but these Dao Lords didn't give him Time," Yu Zhenzi explained with a bitter smile in defense of the Jade Emperor.

Everything happened too swiftly; even the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei, despite their successful plotting, did not anticipate Taoist Monarch Tianji and Sword Emperor would act so decisively, unwilling to wait for the end of the trial.

It is known that True Immortals possess extended lifespans, and Dao Lords are almost immortal; waiting for decades or even centuries for something is not considered a lengthy time.

Yet, this trial is only the first round, and had they been willing to wait for its thorough conclusion, it would have taken at least several decades to a century, giving them ample time to cope.

However, these two veteran Dao Lords disregarded martial ethics and took action directly, leaving no time to master the Supreme Divine Power.

As the top-tier Divine Abilities, Supreme Divine Powers are mighty but require time to master; otherwise, they can't unleash their full potential. It was all too rushed, offering not even a moment's time to react.

"To learn of the Dao in the morning and die in the evening would suffice. It means finding out the path to the enemy's home in the morning and having the foe dead by night," Pei Xuanjing said, laughing lightly.

Yu Zhenzi's eyes revealed a hint of astonishment upon hearing this: "Is that the interpretation of this saying?"

He was by no means ignorant, well-versed in the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and other disciplines, and while he was familiar with the classics of the Confucian Gate, he had never considered such an interpretation of the phrase.

Is this the gap between me and the powerful Dao Lords?

Yu Zhenzi murmured to himself, feeling that this might be the difference in perception between himself and the powerful Dao Lords, a stark contrast in the view of the world and its affairs.

Pei Xuanjing laughed lightly, offering no explanation and remaining noncommittal about his words.

Yu Zhenzi suppressed the flurry of thoughts in his mind and refocused on the great battle in the Chaos Void. Considering that the Sword Emperor, through just an Incarnation, possessed such earth-shattering power, able to suppress such a formidable Jade Emperor, Yu Zhenzi was filled with admiration and conceived another thought.

"Could it be that Taoist Monarch Tianji is also nothing but an Incarnation?" Yu Zhenzi ventured to ask tentatively.

According to the rankings of the combat power among these Dao Lords, Taoist Monarch Tianji is on par with the Sword Emperor, both of which could be ranked within the top ten of all Dao Lords.

The strength between the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei is nearly identical, both considered as Newly Ascended Dao Lords, and even if there were any disparities, it should be that the power of the Jade Emperor was slightly superior.

So, in such circumstances, if the formidable Jade Emperor is suppressed by just an Incarnation of the Sword Emperor, then is the Great Emperor Ziwei also facing an Incarnation of Taoist Monarch Tianji, and not his True Body?

Although Yu Zhenzi has not yet reached the level of a Dao Lord, he possesses at least the discernment to see that, undoubtedly, the Jade Emperor's performance is more astounding.

Thus, if the Jade Emperor is suppressed by an Incarnation of the Sword Emperor, perhaps Taoist Monarch Tianji, an entity on par with the Sword Emperor, is similarly suppressing the Great Emperor Ziwei using just an Incarnation.

"Not so, Tianji has descended in his True Body," Pei Xuanjing gently shook his head, dismissing this speculation, confident that the current Taoist Monarch Tianji is his True Body.

"That's a relief, that's a relief," Yu Zhenzi quickly responded.

Although he himself has not yet attained the Dao Lord status, seeing the Jade Emperor, who has, being suppressed by an Incarnation, if Great Emperor Ziwei were also restrained by an Incarnation of Taoist Monarch Tianji, it would suggest an unimaginable gap between them, significantly increasing his pressure.

However, the following statement from Pei Xuanjing slightly altered his complexion again.

"While it may not be an Incarnation, do you really think the current Taoist Monarch Tianji is exerting his full strength?" Pei Xuanjing, seemingly understanding the other's sense of relief, did not give Yu Zhenzi any chance to fantasize, abruptly bringing him to silence with a single sentence.

"Isn't that the case?" Yu Zhenzi spoke after a long silence: "Didn't you agree that Taoist Monarch Tianji seems to be struggling?"

At the beginning, the combat power displayed by the Great Emperor Ziwei was evenly matched, and based on that situation, he had heard that Taoist Monarch Tianji appeared to be having a hard time, not absolutely in control.

"What I mentioned is not the same as what you understood," Pei Xuanjing gently shook his head: "At the start, Taoist Monarch Tianji was holding back, having no intention of going all out, which is why he seemed to be struggling."

Great Emperor Ziwei, after obtaining the Great Star Technique, has demonstrated strength beyond everyone's expectations, ranking among the top amongst the Newly Ascended Dao Lords, even comparable to some veteran Dao Lords.

However, there is also a distinction in strength among the veteran Dao Lords, and the difference is substantial, especially in the case of entities like Taoist Monarch Tianji.

Therefore, from the beginning, it was predestined that Great Emperor Ziwei would inevitably be defeated. The opponent was able to do so initially simply because Taoist Monarch Tianji was complacent and underestimated his adversary too much.

There is no other reason, no complex explanation; it's just that Taoist Monarch Tianji underestimated Great Emperor Ziwei significantly, which led to his initial disarray.
