Watching the direction Li Guangming and the others were heading, the Jade Emperor snorted coldly in his heart. If it were not for the need to conserve means to deal with the Ancient Gods from beyond the Three Realms, as well as future troubles, how could he have let these worthless ones go. They couldn’t even deal with Sun Wukong, so it was really hard to say how much help they could be. “It’s better than nothing,” the Jade Emperor said through gritted teeth. Now, that was all he could do to comfort himself. The Great Emperor Ziwei sat aloof on his imperial throne, a hint of a smile on his lips as he looked beyond the heavens. Finally, everyone had arrived. Lady Houtu and others appeared one after another, each followed by strong supporters from their factions. Tianpeng, too, sneered, ordering the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to line up in formation, ready to meet the enemy. Here, battle flags fluttered and war drums resounded, ready to clash at any moment. Gou Chen and the others looked on with a steely gaze, their focus fixed on the group led by Great Emperor Ziwei, their eyes narrowing slightly. They saw many familiar faces here, all notable powerhouses of the Three Realms. And Chi You, he had already become a Great Heavenly Venerate. This weighed heavily on them, intensifying the pressure they felt. So many strong figures had gathered around Great Emperor Ziwei. No, rather, they should say around Sun Wukong. Many of them were, in more or less direct ways, related to Sun Wukong. They must have been invited by Sun Wukong to assist Great Emperor Ziwei in battling against them. “Ziwei, what is the meaning of this?” Gou Chen demanded, his voice cold and face showing irritation. He was, after all, the elder brother of Great Emperor Ziwei. Not to mention being ranked lower than Ziwei among the Four Heavenly Kings, and now Ziwei had even become a Great Heavenly Venerate. That was something he absolutely could not accept. He had always coveted the position of the Great Heavenly Venerate. He was even willing to serve under the Jade Emperor to achieve it. That way, he could better understand the Jade Emperor, find his weaknesses, and then make his move against him. To think, he was still one step too late. Venus stepped forward, smiling as he said, “The common people are grateful for the benevolence and kindness of Great Emperor Ziwei, having autonomously enshrined him as the Great Heavenly Venerate. The Heavenly Court’s fortunes acknowledged by the nine golden dragons also recognize him. Now, Great Emperor Ziwei is indeed considered the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms. Thus, Gou Chen, please speak with due respect when addressing a Great Heavenly Venerate.” Gou Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he rebuked, “Taibai, you are being presumptuous. You, merely a constellation, have no right to speak to Us in such a manner. Let Ziwei answer for himself.” Venus smiled slightly and said, “Gou Chen is mistaken. Taibai is the leader of the Civil Officials of the Heavenly Court. Although in terms of rank, certainly not as high as Gou Chen, he is still qualified to relay the intentions of Great Emperor Ziwei. For Gou Chen to rebuke Taibai in such a manner is the true discourtesy.” “The Heavenly Court? Since when did Ziwei represent the Heavenly Court? Since when did the mere Human Race represent the common people? What Great Heavenly Venerate? Nothing but treacherous rebels.” Lady Houtu said coldly. Then, she stared at Great Emperor Ziwei and commanded icily, “As the Imperial Queen, I order you to abdicate.” All eyes immediately focused on Great Emperor Ziwei, eager to hear his response. Lady Houtu was the most unique figure among the Four Heavenly Kings; she was both one of the Kings and the Imperial Queen. Now that she demanded Great Emperor Ziwei abdicate with her authority as the Imperial Queen, the demand carried significant weight. Just at this moment, a flash of axe light flew by. Chi You made his move, swinging his axe towards Houtu. Lady Houtu had not expected that someone would actually dare to strike at her. She only managed to raise her mana in time to protect herself. The glow of the axe sent her flying far away, only stopping at a great distance. Chi You’s rebellious voice rang out, “What dogshit emperor and empress, on what grounds do they look down upon the Human Race? It is true that the Human Race is weak, but we have passed down the torch from generation to generation, striving ceaselessly, developing with difficulty to this stage amidst heaven and earth. The Human Race now represents the will of the common people, if you want to deny that, first ask whether the strong ones among us agree.” “We do not agree,” the strong ones among the Human Race roared. Of course, these were the strong ones from the Ziwei Sect. The strong ones of the Human Race led by Great Emperor Gou Chen actually wanted to shout out as well. They very much agreed with Chi You’s words, but due to being on opposing sides, naturally, they dared not make a sound. However, Chi You’s speech set their blood boiling. Houtu flew back, her expression icy cold. Chi You’s strike had not injured her, but it had thoroughly enraged her. “You will die,” she said in just three words, then fell silent. Her lofty and domineering attitude almost provoked Chi You into attacking again. Sun Wukong quickly grabbed hold of Chi You, signaling him not to be impulsive. If it was possible to avoid a battle today, that would be best. Once the Four Heavenly Kings began to fight, it would not end well. Moreover, there were also strong ones beside Houtu and her group. Adding to the fact that the three of them were already some of the topmost strong ones in the Three Realms, if they really started fighting, facing one against three, the Ziwei Sect would find it very tough. Chi You held back his rage, sending a provocative glance towards Houtu. All eyes turned to Great Emperor Ziwei, waiting for his reaction. Even Gold Star Taibai did not dare to speak at this moment. Great Emperor Ziwei sat there, supported by nine golden dragons, looking even more majestic. In response to Lady Houtu’s decree of abdication, he smiled faintly and said, “I am enthroned by the common people, even if I were to abdicate, it would be because I failed to protect them well enough to take responsibility and step down, not due to anyone’s command. I do not wish to disappoint the expectations of the common people.” His voice spread throughout the Three Realms, even the human world could hear it. Instantly, the call for Ziwei Heavenly Venerate resounded throughout the entire human world. Lady Houtu’s face darkened, as she hadn’t expected that Great Emperor Ziwei would insist on not abdicating under the pretext of the common people. Of course, she hadn’t assumed that just a few words from her would make Great Emperor Ziwei step down—that was impossible. Lady Houtu was simply seeking a sufficient reason to take action herself. A flash of brilliance appeared in her hand, and a decree materialized. Lady Houtu stated, “I bear a decree from the Jade Emperor, let all creatures heed this edict.” “Your servant heeds the decree,” Great Emperor Gou Chen and Longevity Great Emperor immediately responded. However, Great Emperor Ziwei and the others remained unmoved, just coldly observing the scene, without any action.
