CHAPTER 803: CHAPTER 731: ZIWEI’S MANY CRIMES

Emperor Ziwei donned his judicial attire, walked past the Judgement Hall, passed the cells of the Heavenly Prison, and found a grand hall deep inside the Judicial Temple. He halted, lifted his head, and saw the plaque above the hall inscribed with four large characters: ’Heavenly Law Temple’.

"This is it!"

Emperor Ziwei smiled and strode quickly inside, as if he could already see himself making a call to arms, with countless Immortal Gods gathering, leading a Buddhist army along with Immortal Gods who had abandoned the darkness for the light, storming into the Palace of the Polestar, overthrowing the inept Jade Emperor and the tyrannical Emperor Gouchen from their dragon thrones.

"Woof~" A dog’s bark suddenly rang out, and Emperor Ziwei turned his head around at once.

...

In front of the Judicial Temple, a Divine Light flashed, and Yang Jian emerged from it. He saw a group of Heavenly Soldiers guarding the front of the temple, visibly tense.

Yang Jian immediately shouted, "What’s the matter that you summoned me?"

A Heavenly General quickly clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to the Divine Monarch, Emperor Ziwei just came, intending to file a report. The Xiao Tian Divine General said you were not present, and advised Emperor Ziwei to wait, but Emperor Ziwei injured him and forcibly entered the temple."

"Where is the Howling Celestial Dog?"

"The Xiao Tian God followed him into the temple."

Yang Jian rushed into the temple immediately, a sense of unease growing in his heart.

Boom~ A tremor sounded from behind the temple, followed by a sorrowful howl.

In front of the temple, the Howling Celestial Dog had been beaten back to its original form, lying in front of the Heavenly Law Temple, emitting sorrowful howls of "Awoo~ Awoo~".

Emperor Ziwei flicked his sleeve, standing alone with his hands clasped behind his back in the temple, and sneered, "Ignorant of life and death!"

He turned and walked deeper into the temple, arriving before a towering Seven-Colored Jade emitting radiant beams.

"Ziwei~" A stern shout suddenly echoed.

Emperor Ziwei spun around abruptly and saw a Divine Light shooting in from outside, transforming into Yang Jian wielding a Three-pointed Two-edged Blade, pointing directly at him.

Emperor Ziwei chuckled, "You finally returned. I’ve been waiting for you all quite a while."

A sense of foreboding rose in Yang Jian’s heart, and he shouted, "Emperor Ziwei, what do you intend to do?"

Emperor Ziwei maintained his smile and said, "I’m naturally here to file a report and help rectify the Heavenly Rules."

With a slap on the Seven-Colored Jade, a ripple spread out, with shadowy figures flickering across it—Hua Mountain, a small village, Yang Chan and Liu Yanchang in the middle of their wedding, and Liu Chenxiang running through the village.

Yang Jian’s heart constricted, and he immediately surged forward, his Three-pointed Two-edged Blade aimed directly at Emperor Ziwei, eyes filled with raging fury.

"Haha~ You can’t stop me~" Emperor Ziwei turned to look at Yang Jian and laughed heartily.

Boom~ A Divine Light erupted from the Seven-Colored Jade, and Yang Jian was instantly flung backward.

The entire Heavenly Law Temple exploded violently, and Great Sun True Fire shot towards the sky.

"Caw~"

"Caw~"

...

A series of sharp cries echoed through the Three Realms.

In the Palace of the Polestar, the Jade Emperor abruptly stood up, eyes filled with shock and anger. Another Heavenly Rule turned into a Golden Crow, his heart was in disarray.

The Heavenly Court Gods also began to discuss amongst themselves.

"What is going on?"

"I don’t know! I’ve never seen anything like this!"

"Why is there birdcall in the Heavenly Court?"

"Could it be a Great Demon attacking the Heavenly Court?"

"Dismiss the court!" the Jade Emperor shouted, immediately rushing out.

The Heavenly Court Gods also ran outside in a swarm, eagerly peering outside.

Above the Heavenly Court, white Three-legged Golden Crows flapped their wings, exuding terrifying light and heat, as if ten suns were in the sky, astonishing all the Gods.

A Star River rose from within the Judicial Temple, radiant and profound.

Emperor Ziwei stepped onto the Star River, ascending step by step, surrounded by stars, shrouded in boundless starlight, like a Supreme Divine King emerging from the depths of the Star Sea.

The Jade Emperor immediately understood, and shouted angrily, "Ziwei, you seek death!"

"Hmph~ Jade Great Venerable, Yang Chan privately wed a mortal, giving birth to a demigod’s son. Do you really think no one in the Heavenly Court dares to uphold justice?" Ziwei shouted back defiantly, righteously.

All the Gods turned to look at the Jade Emperor, eyes filled with astonishment. Princess Yang Chan privately wed a mortal, and gave birth to a demigod’s son? Tsk tsk~ The Jade Emperor kept that under wraps quite well!

"Caw~"

"Caw~"

"Caw~"

The Ten Golden Crows swooped downward, and the Circulation of Divine dared not intercept them. The power of Great Sun True Fire could roast even Immortal Golden Immortals to ashes.

Emperor Ziwei glanced around the Gods, full of ambition and a hint of excitement, loudly proclaiming, "Emperor of Heaven, Taiji Emperor, Emperor Gouchen, slow to treat Heaven and Earth with respect, contrary to the Tao and reason.

They tolerate Hua Yue Three Saint Mothers’ defiance of Heavenly Rules, deceive Heavenly Law, fabricate the mandate of heaven, falsely present documentation, manipulate the masses with treacherous acts, causing a cosmic uproar. They overly embellish tales to feign auspiciousness, mock divinity, and glorify catastrophe. Today, beneath the heavens, all is clear and seen..."

The Gods were all speechless. Are you sure you’re talking about Emperor Gouchen? Many Gods smirked at Emperor Ziwei, thinking this to be his demise. Emperor Ziwei, just meet your end already. If you want to die, today you shall have your wish.

Lei Zhenzi hurriedly shrunk himself, keeping his head low to appear inconspicuous. The Heavenly Court wouldn’t implicate everyone, would it? No, even if they did, that has nothing to do with me. What? You say I’m his brother? No, I was adopted!

The Law Enforcement Team couldn’t restrain themselves and were about to act.

Yang Jiao urgently yelled, "Uncle, Chan’er is now..."

The Jade Emperor, with a cold expression, said, "No matter, my true self has already gone there.

Now, I want to see what he wants to say next, see who else is an accomplice, eyes filled with lethal intent."

"Since the sky is the father, and the earth is the mother, misfortune and blessing are naturally governed by the sky in decision and punishment.

Emperor Gouchen knew this, yet remained ignorant and reckless, disregarding the taboo, disrupting cosmic order, exploiting the infinite numbers, is a great sin against heaven.

...

The Jade Emperor, in his esteemed position, used deceitful traitors, trusted flatterers, punished the loyal and upright, acted by hearsay, rode in red-carriages, crowned both day and night, unjustly detained the innocent. Executed punishments like the Golden Hoop, abolished ancient wise laws, filled with hard vinegar, followed by the Five Poisons. Laws change every day, official titles change monthly, currency transforms yearly, leaving officials and citizens bewildered, not knowing whom to follow..."

Shen Gongbao’s lips twitched twice, Laws change every day, official titles change monthly, probably this refers to me! From Sea Division General of the East Sea, I became the Diplomacy God.

Gu Liang couldn’t help but widen her eyes, what’s wrong with currency reform? Has it offended you or angered you? Did I deduct your wages?

...

At the foot of Hua Mountain, with the passing of winter and advent of spring, everything revived, a group of children ran joyously.

Yang Chan sat inside the fenced courtyard, sewing a garment, her face adorned with a smile.

Inside the house, Liu Yanchang quietly poured a packet of medicinal powder into the tea. Ever since Chenxiang was born, my beloved wife hasn’t let me touch her. Sigh~ I don’t know what’s wrong with her. This is a forbidden medicine bought from the pharmacy called ’I Love a Stick,’ hoping it would be effective.

Liu Yanchang carried the tea outside, wearing a smile, he said, "Chan’er, have some tea!"

Yang Chan glanced indifferently, saying, "Just set it aside."

"Okay~ okay~, you must remember to drink it."

Liu Yanchang placed the tea on the chair beside her, walked back into the house, eyes fixed intently on Yang Chan, in his heart repeatedly chanting, "Drink water! Drink water! Quickly drink water!"

Boom~ A tremor resounded across the sky, instantly lighting up heaven and earth a bit more.
