Just as the Dragon Emperor Ao Qing was evolving into a nine-clawed Golden Dragon, the Thirty-Third Heaven.
The Heavenly Court.
The Celestial Emperor sat quietly on a dragon throne in the great hall of the Heavenly Palace. There was no change in his eyes at all.
Before the Celestial Emperor knelt a Heavenly General, his face full of respect.
"Celestial Emperor, according to our sources, the three Saints have already come up with the Investiture of the Gods. Princess Longji is the only Celestial Court member on the Investiture of the Gods. The three Saints didn't even consider any of the candidates we provided."
As the Heavenly General spoke, he carefully handed a copy of the Investiture of the Gods to the Celestial Emperor of the Heavenly Court.
The Celestial Emperor flipped through the Investiture of the Gods, a complicated look flashed across his eyes.
Ever since the birth of the Eldritch World, the Heavenly Court had always been the symbol of the ruler of the six realms. The ruler of the Heavenly Court, whether it was Tōhoku Taichi, or Di Jun, or even the newly ascended Celestial Emperor, represented the ruler of the three realms. They were in charge of everything in the mortal realm.
In theory, the Celestial Emperor of the Heavenly Court, who was also the Celestial Emperor, had the highest status. Even the three Sages had to bow to him.
But in reality, under the schemes of the three Sages, even someone like him, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, was like a puppet. He was at their mercy, at their mercy.
This time, the three Sages discussed the Investiture of the Gods. On the surface, it was to add more manpower to the Celestial Court. But in reality, it was to reshuffle the power of the Celestial Court.
In order to fight against the Investiture of the Gods, the Celestial Emperor specially asked the Queen Mother of the West, who was also the ruler of the Celestial Court, to secretly insert his daughter, Princess Longji, and the rest into the Investiture of the Gods. He wanted to use this opportunity to cultivate his own troops in the Celestial Court. But the Celestial Emperor didn't expect that many of the candidates he recommended weren't inserted. Only Princess Longji was left.
Very clearly, this time, the three great sages wanted to completely control him, the Heavenly Emperor, and completely turn him into a puppet!
"Princess Longji may be in the Investiture of the Gods, but the one who made her a god is Yuanshi Tianzun's disciple, Jiang Ziya. He definitely won't give her a good position. Plus, he'll definitely humiliate her along the way. If we don't want to become their puppets, we have to think of another way."
Just as the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Emperor was frowning in thought, a fragrant wind suddenly blew over. A beautiful woman with exquisite facial features and a noble aura slowly walked over. It was the Queen Mother Yao Chi.
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, the Celestial Emperor frowned.
This Queen Mother was the same as him. She was just a puppet supported by the three Sages.
It's worth mentioning that the Celestial Emperor and Queen Mother weren't husband and wife. The Queen Mother was once the Heavenly Dao Hongjun's servant girl. Her status was high and she had never been married. She didn't even have anyone she liked.
Of course, despite the Queen Mother's high status, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun wouldn't fall out with the three Sages over a mere servant girl.
"I've been racking my brains over the past few days, but I haven't come up with a single good idea. What's wrong, Jade Pool? Have you thought of something?" The Heavenly Court's Heavenly Emperor frowned and shook his head.
Every time he thought about being a puppet, he gritted his teeth. But in the face of a powerful force, he had no choice but to endure.
"Do you know about the Investiture of the Gods, Nezha, Li Jing, and the others being forcefully erased from the Investiture of the Gods?!" Yao Chi suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the Celestial Emperor's eyes flashed. But soon, his eyes dimmed. "I've investigated this matter. It seems to be related to the commander of the Four Seas Dragons, Ao Qing.
Moreover, the Western Sect has a close relationship with the Four Seas Dragons. Obviously, the Four Seas Dragons have a very strong background and backing.
The only thing he didn't know was who had the backing and backing of this person was.
Queen Mother, could it be that you want to borrow the power of the Four Seas Dragons?! "
Yao Chi gently shook her head. Just as she was about to say something, a Divine General suddenly ran over in a panic. "Celestial Emperor, Queen Mother, bad news!
One of the Five Elements Star Lords, Water De Star Lord's Mansion, was destroyed by the commander of the Four Seas Dragons, Ao Qing. Even the Water God Position and Water God were taken away! "
The Heavenly Court's Heavenly Emperor and Saint Mother Yao Chi jumped to their feet, their eyes filled with shock.
"What?!"
"The Four Seas Dragons have the ability to destroy Water De Star Lord's Mansion?!"
Water De Star Lord was one of the Five Elements Star Lords. Although he was in charge of water conservancy, this department controlled thousands of heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, and thousands of water Hebo. It was a powerful army that couldn't be underestimated.
However, such a powerful army was destroyed by the Four Seas Dragons?!
How, how is this possible …
Moreover, the Fifth Planet Lord was one of the few Heavenly Court troops that the Heavenly Emperor could command. If they were destroyed, it would mean that the Heavenly Emperor's foundation in the Heavenly Court would be greatly reduced!
"Yes, Celestial Emperor. When I received the news, I was also surprised.
However, what shocked me the most was that some heavenly soldiers said that even shrimp soldiers of Dragon Clan could control flying swords. One shrimp soldier even killed dozens of heavenly soldiers and Uncle Shui one after another … "The immortal general who reported the news couldn't help but take in a deep breath when he said that.
"What?!"
"How is this possible?!"
The Heavenly Court's Heavenly Thearch and Heavenly Queen Mother were shocked to hear this.
"The Heavenly Court is in danger now. The Three Sages are eyeing us covetously, and the Dragons of the Four Seas are wreaking havoc in the mortal world. This, this …" The Celestial Emperor's frown deepened. "What should we do?!"
The Queen Mother also frowned as she tried to think of a way to deal with the situation.
If they allowed the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas to continue developing, it would definitely cause them trouble. However, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was about to arrive, and the Three Great Sages were eyeing them covetously, wishing that they could seize every opportunity to intervene. If this matter was not handled well, it was very likely that it would bring an unprecedented calamity to the two of them!
Just as the two of them were thinking, suddenly, an extremely strong Demonic Aura rushed into the sky and shook the entire Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Court's Heavenly Thearch and Heavenly Queen Mother lost their balance and fell to the ground with their feet facing the sky. They looked as pathetic as it could get!
The Divine General frowned and stared in the direction of the strong Demonic Aura. "It's a strong Demonic Aura from the Four Seas. This Demonic Aura can shake the Heavenly Court. I'm afraid a peerless Great Demon has been born!"
"A peerless Great Demon?!"
The Celestial Emperor and Queen Mother, who struggled to get up, looked at each other in horror.
When the peerless Great Demons Di Jun and Tōhoku Taichi were born, they triggered the Heavenly Design, and their Demonic Auras surged into the sky and shook the Heavenly Court!
