Yet, even though the Lightning Emperor understood Shang better now, the problem still hadn't been resolved.
Naturally, the metaphor the Lightning Emperor had given couldn't completely cover all the aspects of the problem.
For example, while the beast in the metaphor could help the person become more powerful, Shang couldn't possibly help the Lightning Emperor become more powerful.
The Lightning Emperor was already at the peak of what he could achieve. Even if Shang became a Warrior Emperor and even if he decided to help the Lightning Emperor with everything, what would that accomplish?
At most, the Lightning Emperor would become the strongest Emperor after Shang, but that didn't make much difference to him.
Not everyone was like Shang, and the Lightning Emperor was fine with the power he had.
He could do what he wanted, talk with whomever he wanted, and go wherever he wanted.
