424: Chapter 213: The Transformation of Shao Siming_2 424: Chapter 213: The Transformation of Shao Siming_2 Expecting anything from anyone, one often ends up with what he fears most. Whether it’s a human being or immortals and buddhas, what matters most is relying on oneself. ... Outside, the establishment of the Court of Ancient Gods disrupted the rhythm of the Heavenly Court. They had been preparing to move against Houtu, but the emergence of the Court of Ancient Gods forced them to suspend their actions. The face of the Great Emperor Ziwei darkened; the appearance of the Court of Ancient Gods was tantamount to declaring war on the Heavenly Court and also implied that the Queen Mother of the West had completely sided with the ancient gods from beyond the domain. This result was something he did not wish to see. Glancing at the silent immortal officials below, Great Emperor Ziwei asked indifferently, “My lords, what are your opinions?” Martial Virtue Star Lord hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and saying, “Your Majesty, I believe this situation has arisen because the Heavenly Court has pressed the ancient gods too hard, and the methods of the Judicial Deity have been too violent, angering the ancient gods into establishing the Court of Ancient Gods. They are merely seeking self-preservation.” This was a clear accusation against Yang Jian. Yang Jian shot Martial Virtue Star Lord a glance but said nothing. Nezha, however, was indignant. He stood out and said coldly, “Are you accusing my second brother? Martial Virtue Star Lord, what are your intentions? Opposing the ancient gods is for securing the path of survival for the beings of this era. Do you realize that if we don’t deal with the ancient gods, ninety-nine percent of all living beings will perish? My second brother works so hard not for himself. I’m sure that if things were truly as the ancient gods claim, one-tenth of you here wouldn’t survive, yet my second brother would still be well and alive, and the ancient gods might even welcome his joining them.” Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed. Martial Virtue Star Lord frowned and said, “I am aware of the vast magical powers of the Judicial Deity, but I was simply speaking to the matter at hand. Why must the Third Prince be so agitated? We all know we are not as strong as the Judicial Deity, but to say that only one-tenth of us would survive might be a bit exaggerated. Even if one-tenth of all beings in the Three Realms were to survive, we, as immortal gods, are beyond them and among those who would live.” Pausing momentarily, he then grew colder in his expression, continuing, “Besides, I am indeed inferior to the Judicial Deity, but among those present, there are friends of immense strength and high cultivation realms, who might not necessarily be inferior to the Judicial Deity. Third Prince, perhaps you are underestimating those seated here. Not to mention anything else, Marshal Tianpeng is a powerful Heavenly Venerate, commanding a million heavenly soldiers and generals—surely he’s not inferior to the Judicial Deity? And Divine Master Sa Shoujian, with his profound and inscrutable mana and vast magical powers, don’t tell me he appears to you as inferior to the Judicial Deity, too? Furthermore, Your Majesty has vast magical powers and boundless mana; isn’t he also superior to the Judicial Deity? Nezha, your words were too presumptuous.” Martial Virtue Star Lord was obviously dissatisfied with Yang Jian and was looking for trouble. Yet it was uncertain whether he was acting on personal volition or others’ instigation. Nezha’s expression turned slightly ugly, being continuously criticized in such a manner had ignited anger within him, making him wish to immediately wipe out this brazen individual. But he was just a Celestial Immortal who dared to spout nonsense here; what did he know? At that moment, Tianpeng stepped forward, fixing his gaze on Martial Virtue Star Lord and speaking indifferently, “I think the Third Prince is correct. If we go by what the ancient gods have said, most of you below Heavenly Venerate would hardly survive, and it’s true that the Judicial Deity is powerful, for no one in our Heavenly Court but His Majesty can match him—I am certainly far from his equal.” Sa Shoujian also smiled faintly, adding, “I too am not a match for the Judicial Deity. Star Lord, you expect too much of me.” Both the leader of the military generals and the second-ranking civil official at the time acknowledged their inferiority to Yang Jian. Martial Virtue Star Lord’s complexion turned dark, and he found himself at a loss for words. Originally an old subordinate of the Jade Emperor, he was envious of Yang Jian becoming the Judicial Deity. Now seizing the opportunity to strike at Yang Jian, he hadn’t anticipated that he would end up being the fool. “Yang Jian has tremendous potential, and in the future,” he began, “his strength may well surpass my own; even currently, I am not much stronger than Yang Jian. Martial Virtude Star Lord, your earlier words were somewhat improper.” Just then, the Great Emperor Ziwei spoke, sending a chill through Martial Virtue Star Lord. He was well aware that the Great Emperor Ziwei was somewhat displeased, and moreover, his displeasure was targeted at him. The words of the Great Emperor Ziwei were evidently in strong support of Yang Jian. Martial Virtue Star Lord immediately knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, my earlier words were inappropriate. Please mete out punishment to me and the Judicial Deity.” Nezha scoffed, saying contemptuously, “If His Majesty and my second brother were to punish you, I fear others would say they’re deliberately suppressing their subjects.” “Nezha, don’t slander me,” Martial Virtue Star Lord retorted, pointing at Nezha, furiously. Li Jing stepped forward, his gaze icy as he addressed Martial Virtue Star Lord, “My son Nezha speaks with reason and sense, where is the slander? Martial Virtue Star Lord, I know you are a former subordinate of the Jade Emperor, and you are reluctant to submit to the Great Emperor Ziwei. If you do not wish to serve in the Ziwei Heavenly Court, you can leave now instead of causing a senseless commotion here.” Martial Virtue Star Lord looked incredulous, glancing at Li Jing in disbelief. You should know that there has always been discord between Li Jing and Nezha, with Nezha almost killing Li Jing just a while ago. Martial Virtue Star Lord could never have imagined that Li Jing would actually defend Nezha. Nezha was also taken aback, he gave Li Jing a glance and huffed softly, but ultimately refrained from making a sarcastic remark. Li Jing’s heart leaped with joy, and he silently gave Gold Star Taibai a grateful look. It was not of his own volition but because Gold Star Taibai advised him that if he wanted Nezha to forgive and stop opposing him, he needed to fulfill his role as a father.
