212: Chapter 176 Absolutely Picked Up_3 212: Chapter 176 Absolutely Picked Up_3 Mother actually didn’t help me, his eyes filled with doubt, he was certain he was not her biological child. Otherwise, as the eldest son in the family, why would he be treated like this. Tathagata originally wanted to act, but at this moment, he withdrew his head. This fight was impossible to continue, with both the Eastern King and Queen Mother of the West, and with Lord Doumu stepping in, even if the Jade Emperor appeared now, it would be in vain, unable to reverse the situation. Unless The Three Pure Ones acted together, there might be a possibility to reverse the situation. But would The Three Pure Ones help Lady Houtu and the others? The answer was obvious, The Three Pure Ones had been watching the struggle the whole time, but they hadn’t intervened, letting them decide who would truly be the Great Heavenly Venerate. Moreover, Zhu Bajie was among Great Emperor Ziwei’s camp. Even if they really took action, The Three Pure Ones would more likely favor Great Emperor Ziwei. With that thought, they became even more uneasy. Regardless of how one looked at it, it seemed they had no chance of winning. Even the Great Emperor Gou Chen had the thought to retreat. In such a situation, not to retreat would be foolish. “Let it be, this matter stops here, but I shall not recognize Ziwei as the Great Heavenly Venerate,” said the Longevity Great Emperor first, giving up the fight. His radiance flashed, and he left with his troops and generals. Once the Longevity Great Emperor left, Great Emperor Gou Chen knew that the situation was over. He sighed, paid his respects to his mother, and then turned to leave. No matter when, respect for one’s mother was absolutely necessary. Lady Houtu’s face was ashen, she was the only one left here. With both Great Emperor Gou Chen and Longevity Great Emperor having retreated, what could she do alone? She had never imagined that Great Emperor Ziwei would actually become the Great Heavenly Venerate today. She snorted coldly, leading her own forces away. Li Guangming also wanted to slip away, but was stopped by Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong’s eyes smouldered with murderous intent, staring down Li Guangming as if he was about to kill him. Li Guangming was terrified and quickly said, “Sun Wukong, I am your Monkey King, do you really intend to kill me? Do you not cherish the fellowship of fellow disciples at all?” Ten Heavenly Venerates stood together, but now had no sense of security. For, there were quite a few Great Heavenly Venerates here, not to mention that the number of Heavenly Venerates was no less than theirs. If they did fight, in a very short time, all of them could be killed. “Tell that person, this is only the first step, get lost,” said Sun Wukong coldly. Li Guangming and the others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left. “The Great Saint is still too merciful,” sighed the Queen Mother of the West. If it were her, these people would definitely not survive. Ten Heavenly Venerates, indeed a formidable force, to let them go like this without striking at the enemy, was really inappropriate. But, it was Sun Wukong’s decision, so they had no ground to criticize him. Sun Wukong saluted the Queen Mother of the West slightly, and said, “Your Majesty forgives my amusement, it’s not that I can’t do it, mainly because I fear that killing these vile creatures would taint my staff, I let them go to send a message to the one behind them, not to think he is all-powerful, there are always things in this world that he cannot calculate.” The Queen Mother of the West smiled faintly, her words laden with deep meaning, “I think he’s already felt it.” “Haha.” Sun Wukong was slightly startled, then laughed. From the Queen Mother of the West’s words, he also gathered that she probably knew who Patriarch Bodhi was. The Jade Emperor thought his scheme flawless, yet he never realized that none of these ancient gods were easy to fool. His identity was probably exposed long ago. Of course, the Jade Emperor knew too. But since he did not show himself, no one could say for sure if he was alive. Even if no one could find him, if the Jade Emperor chose to hide away, not even The Three Pure Ones could possibly find him. The Great Emperor Ziwei walked over to thank the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West waved her hand dismissively, her faint smile as she spoke, “You became the Great Heavenly Venerate because it was the will of the masses; hence, you need not thank me. It was something you fought for yourself. I simply came to support you a little, which hardly counts for anything. In fact, even without me, you could have been victorious.” “But, many people would have had to die,” the Great Emperor Ziwei said gravely. This he had wished to avoid the most, not wanting those around him to make any sacrifices. Now that the sacrifice had been limited to this extent, it was still somewhat acceptable to him. The Queen Mother of the West couldn’t help but shake her head and chuckle bitterly, “Ziwei, with a temperament like yours, you are indeed not suited to be the Great Heavenly Venerate. Although you possess benevolence, you care too much about the life and death of living beings, prioritizing humanity over Daoist nature, which is undesirable for the Great Heavenly Venerate.” The Great Emperor Ziwei gave a wry smile. With such a disposition, what else could he do? However, he believed himself not to be of the merciful and weak-hearted sort. The only thing the Great Emperor Ziwei cared about was the life and death of those close to him. As for others, they were of no concern to him. “Fortunately, you have Wukong. Wukong’s nature is decisive, ruthlessly efficient, and exceedingly intelligent, perfectly complementing your shortcomings. Your cooperation is seamless,” the Queen Mother of the West remarked with a glance at Sun Wukong, who continued to surprise her more and more. How much time had passed, and he’d already elevated the Great Emperor Ziwei to the position of the Great Heavenly Venerate. Seeing the Five Emperors seemingly following behind Sun Wukong, Lady Houtu would not believe this matter was unrelated to Sun Wukong, even if it killed her. The Five Emperors were ancestors of the Human Race, and she originally thought the Five Emperors respected the Great Emperor Ziwei’s benevolence. Now it seemed they supported the ennoblement of Ziwei because of Sun Wukong. Though the outcome remained the same, the difference in intent was vast. “Haha, that’s right. If Wukong were a woman, I’d even want to marry him. We are a match made in heaven, and we cooperate so brilliantly,” the Great Emperor Ziwei declared proudly. Suddenly, Sun Wukong kicked him over, cursing, “Get lost! You’re the woman here. You better not disgust me to death, Old Sun.” The Great Emperor Ziwei was sent flying with a kick, laughing heartily all the while. Lord Doumu showed concern, her son’s orientation seemed a bit abnormal. She wondered if she should intervene. Otherwise, if he truly ended up doing something preposterous, it would be difficult to handle later. The Queen Mother of the West exclaimed, “The relationship between the Great Saint and the Great Heavenly Venerate is really good. I hope you can maintain this forever. Only then can the future of the Three Realms have hope.” The Great Emperor Ziwei’s expression became serious, and he asked in a concentrated voice, “Your Majesty refers to?” “Ancient Gods, among other factors, you’ll come to know in time,” the Queen Mother of the West mused, ultimately choosing not to reveal more. The Great Emperor Ziwei took a deep breath. Was there something even he couldn’t know? “Ziwei my son, come here,” Lord Doumu called, her demeanor affectionate, a stark contrast to how she acted towards Gou Chen the Great Emperor. No wonder Gou Chen often doubted whether he was truly her offspring. Not only did Gou Chen harbor doubts, but so did everyone else. If Gou Chen truly was her own, surely he wouldn’t be treated this way? Ziwei broke into a smile and trotted over. Lord Doumu looked at the Great Emperor Ziwei with eyes full of love, completely different from how she viewed Gou Chen. She chuckled softly, “Ziwei, you’ve been such an obedient and simple child since you were small, unlike your eldest brother who has too many schemes. You tend to be at a disadvantage in many situations. I hope you grow more astute in the future, especially when dealing with your eldest brother. Show no mercy, as long as it doesn’t kill him.” “I understand,” the Great Emperor Ziwei nodded firmly. He understood his mother’s meaning: as long as it wouldn’t kill, go as hard as possible. “Such a good boy,” Lord Doumu said as she patted the Great Emperor Ziwei’s head lovingly. She then parted from him reluctantly. The Queen Mother of the West and the Eastern King also took their leave. Now that the situation was settled, the Great Emperor Ziwei had truly taken his seat as the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms. There was no further need for them to remain here.
