Chapter 114: Inviting God
Jiajing originally thought that the Heavenly Court would give him, a human emperor, enough face. When he just stepped onto the auspicious cloud, he used his spiritual sense to scan around. The servants below were looking at his back with reverence on their faces, without a trace of pretense at all.
This already made him very proud.
So, what’s the scene like after entering heaven?
In the end, there was no ceremony at all!
After that team of heavenly soldiers and generals took him through the South Gate of Heaven, they did not stop at all and flew directly to a palace. The road was shrouded in clouds and mist, and no human figure or the shadow of a god could be seen.
These clouds and mists are full of rich spiritual energy. Heaven is really a great place for cultivation.
However, it would be fine if the gods didn't line up to welcome us, but you should at least arrange some heavenly soldiers and generals to line up on both sides to welcome us, as a gesture of respect. Why isn't there even a single one?
Just as Jiajing was wondering, the heavenly soldiers and generals had already sent him to the steps of the palace.
The palace gate was open, but inside was just like outside, shrouded in mist and nothing could be seen clearly.
The leading heavenly soldier made a gesture of invitation and stood there motionless.
What does this mean?
Jiajing looked up, but he couldn't even see the door frame above the palace, let alone the palace plaque.
The door of this palace was too high. He wanted to use his spiritual sense to see where this place was, but he found that his spiritual sense was suppressed and could not reach beyond a hundred feet.
There was no way. His spiritual sense couldn’t even reach the door frame above, so he could only walk slowly into the palace.
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, a terrifying divine power pressed down on him.
Fortunately, he has already reached the peak realm of earthly immortals and has not been crushed to the ground by the power of these gods, otherwise he would have made a big fool of himself.
What do the gods in heaven mean?
He was just wondering when a majestic voice suddenly sounded in the sky.
"Emperor of the Human World, why did you come to Heaven?"
Are you pretending to be confused?
Didn’t you hear the eulogy that the ceremonial officer just read?
Jiajing is also an old hand at playing power games. The general meaning of pretending not to hear is that don't blame us for this matter!
The question is, if I don’t ask you for help, why would I go through all this trouble to come here to offer sacrifices to the heavens?
At this time, some of the spiritual energy in the hall seemed to be sucked away, and he could vaguely see the situation around him.
Both sides of his body were wearing shoes that were several meters high. Looking up, he could see two rows of trouser legs that were like pillars supporting the sky. Not to mention the person's face, he couldn't even see his robe.
What do the gods in heaven mean?
Of course he knew that after becoming a god, his true body could be big or small. Why did these gods become so big? Did they make him look like an ant?
Jiajing frowned secretly, then said calmly: "A great demon king has appeared in the world, causing millions of lives to be destroyed. I would like to ask the gods to help and take down the demon king."
Even if you don't want to talk, you have to talk, otherwise my trip would be in vain.
The Emperor of Heaven still said majestically: "Are you talking about Chen Jiu?"
Oh, you’re pretending you didn’t hear the funeral oration again.
Jiajing still gritted his teeth and said, "It is the devil Chen Jiu."
The Emperor of Heaven actually sighed slightly and said, "You know, the Emperor of Fengdu has already taken action. He even sacrificed the Book of Life and Death, but in the end, he did not find Chen Jiu."
ah!
Jiajing couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "Emperor, even with the divine weapon of heaven, couldn't he subdue the demon king?"
The Emperor of Heaven sighed slightly and said, "Otherwise, why do you think Chen Jiu dared to slaughter the Zhao family's earthly immortals wantonly? Would the Emperor of Fengdu not have taken him in if he could?"
Does this mean that you all don't want to take action?
Jiajing thought about it, then gritted his teeth and said, "Should we just let that devil wreak havoc on the world?"
The Emperor of Heaven was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "How many gods are there in Japan?"
What does this mean?
Of course he knew how many gods there were in Japan, and those gods were quite powerful. The previous dynasty had organized large armies to invade Japan several times, but each time they were defeated by Japan on the sea.
In fact, Japan is not far from Middle-earth. As long as they avoid the windy months, merchant ships and pirate ships can travel back and forth without any problems. Why does the navy fleet led by the earth immortals keep being destroyed?
This is obvious. The true God of Japan will not let them pass.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the Ming navy was, it did not conquer Japan like the previous dynasty.
Jiajing thought about it, then suddenly said: "Should we let Chen Jiu go to conquer Japan?"
You are quite smart.
The Emperor of Heaven was quite pleased and said, "You should be able to do this, right?"
This tone.
You want to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
Jiajing suddenly understood that the gods in heaven wanted to use Chen Jiu to deal with the true gods in Japan.
He couldn't help but worry: "The demon king Chen Jiu is so powerful, how can we deal with him in the end?"
The Emperor of Heaven said majestically again: "Don't worry about this. We will take action when the time comes."
Kill two birds with one stone?
You are so cruel!
However, it would be enough if we can get rid of this scourge Chen Jiu.
This is a great idea!
Jiajing nodded slightly, then asked carefully: "I heard that the heavenly tribulation of becoming a god can be avoided. I wonder how to avoid it."
You wish.
The Emperor of Heaven was silent for a long time, and then he said majestically: "Do you think there is still room for you to stand here? Isn't it better to just be the emperor of the world?"
You guys are going too far!
Jiajing was silent for a while, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Goodbye."
There is no way, these are all true gods, and he is not one of them.
The Emperor of Heaven said without hesitation: "Goodbye."
Jiajing stepped onto the auspicious cloud with a gloomy face. He was extremely angry. These guys didn't even give him a chance to become a god. This was too much!
However, as soon as the auspicious cloud flew out of the South Heaven Gate, he immediately changed his expression to one of smugness and satisfaction.
As soon as he stepped down from the altar, Duke of Wei Xu Wenbi was pushed up by a group of dukes and nobles and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, may I dare to ask about Chen Jiu's matter?"
Jiajing actually smiled and said, "I have already asked the gods in heaven to help. We can make the devil disappear from this world without wasting a single soldier."
Very good!
Upon hearing this, all the dukes and nobles couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
They really didn't want to fight with the big devil Chen Jiu. That guy was too scary. Killing earth immortals was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. It's not that they were afraid of death, but they didn't want to die in vain.
Jiajing's glory was only on the surface. After returning to the imperial tent, he sat there with a gloomy face and did not say a word for a long time.
Chen Jiu is not a fool. How can he get others to conquer Japan?
He was sitting there frowning in deep thought when a burst of laughter came from outside the tent. A cute little girl suddenly rushed in and said cheerfully, "Grandpa Emperor, it's so beautiful outside. Why are you sitting here instead of going out to play?"
Hearing this, Jiajing smiled lovingly and said, "Su'er, grandpa is old and can't walk anymore. You can go and play by yourself."
Hearing this, the little girl nodded obediently and skipped out again.
Jiajing didn't like his own son, but he loved his granddaughter very much and he always took her with him when he went to war.
Originally, he was planning to order people to send it back after offering sacrifices to the heaven, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of a good idea.
Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women, and what he thought of was the beauty trap.
However, he did not want his precious granddaughter to use the beauty trap.
His precious granddaughter is still young, so he can't do anything to her. Besides, Chen Jiu will surely be destroyed in the end, and he won't let his precious granddaughter become a widow.
Among the children of princes and nobles who came to accompany his precious granddaughter on this trip, there was one who was quite suitable.
He watched his precious granddaughter disappear outside the tent and immediately said in a loud voice, "Call the Duke of Wei."
Duke of Wei Xu Wenbi came quickly.
After the emperor and his subjects exchanged greetings, Jiajing asked solemnly, "Do you know how we can make the devil Chen Jiu disappear from the world without any effort?"
How would I know?
Xu Wenbi said in a panic: "I am incompetent, I don't know."
Jiajing said directly: "We can just let Chen Jiu go to conquer Japan."
Kill with a borrowed knife!
The problem is, Chen Jiu is not a fool.
Xu Wenbi was a little confused. What did His Majesty mean by this?
He racked his brain for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
Jiajing asked, "How can we get Chen Jiu to conquer Japan?"
I, don’t know !
Xu Wenbi broke out in a cold sweat.
Your Majesty will not send him to persuade Chen Jiu again, right?
This kind of thing is simply impossible!
Jiajing suddenly sighed again: "The Japanese pirates have repeatedly come ashore to rob, and the people along the coast are really miserable!"
What does this have to do with Chen Jiu?
Xu Wenbi was still confused.
Jiajing suddenly sighed and said, "I can't just watch the people suffer. If Chen Jiu is willing to conquer Japan and destroy the Japanese pirates, I will make him a king!"
Be crowned king?
This seems somewhat attractive.
The question is, will Chen Jiu fight for the throne?
Xu Wenbi thought for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "I'll go and try to see if I can convince Chen Jiu."
Jiajing nodded slightly, and suddenly said inexplicably: "The girl from the Chengguo Mansion is quite pretty. She is sixteen this year, right?"
Beauty trap!
Xu Wenbi finally understood.
