The high elders present exchanged glance with each other. The death of the emperor was indeed a blow to their clan. Missing this opportunity could rob them of their current political influence.

Insane Court has been passed down for billions of years with a rotation of dynasties. So many sects that were powerful eventually collapsed and became the side branches or turned into nothingness.

In the current Insane Court, there were plenty of powerful sects but they primarily made up the side branches - leaves on this towering tree.

The ones that were in control were the four great powers - the Wang Faction was one of them.

The other three consisted of the Upper Faction, Sacred Institution, and Chu Camp.

These four branches have produced many True Emperors, sometimes one had them in succession. Of course, none of these emperors could surpass the progenitor.

It was indeed a great accomplishment for the Wang to reach this level, mainly due to their strength.

However, so many other lineages inside the system were vying for their position. Just one wrong step and decline would be imminent - robbing them from the central power.

We cant be too risky in this endeavor. One high elder suggested: If he is a fake that is scheming for our dao source, it will be very dangerous for the source. At that point, our branch will become sinners, unworthy of the ancestors. Well certainly be banished henceforth.

The other high elders quietly contemplated. Grand Sword Gate was such a sect that was banished.

This particular sect was very powerful in the past but it had committed a big offense so they were exiled from the main court.

If such a thing were to happen to their clan, there was no coming back.

How about we ask the ancestors who protect the dao source to check? They should be the best reason. Wang Han came up with another idea.[ref] Plurality isnt clear either, guessing there are many since the

The elders contemplated after hearing this. There was no doubt that the strongest ancestors in the system right now were in this group. They had a prestigious position as well so if he could gain their recognition, he would definitely be the real thing.

They might not be on our side. A different high elder said.

The other elders understood the implication right away. If this reborn ancestor was real, he would certainly make the system prosper again.

He was a fat piece of meat, metaphorically. Not only would he take the reign, but this would also last for several generations. Their Wang Clan naturally wanted to ride his coattails and in order to do so, they must not let any other power have him. Flattery and taking the initiative were necessary.

Well invite our own ancestor first then. Another elder said: Hes a True God with great knowledge and will be able to see much better than us. Afterward, if the guy is real, hell be our biggest backing and we will fully support him. If hes fake, then well just kill him and no one will find out.

Wang Han agreed that this was the best and safest course of action. She had absolute confidence in Li Qiye right now and would back him up.

We need to take good care of this ancestor for now
