Chapter 296 The Struggle for Sovereignty (Part 3)

"The God of Literature, Bi Gan, is here."

"The God of Fortune, Ji Chang, is here."

“The True Lord Bi Su, Boyi Kao, is here.”

Amidst the raging wind and rain, three sturdy figures stood firmly in front of Ji Fa, like towering mountains, their gazes fixed intently on the Rain Master and Wind Master.

They radiated a pale golden light, which shone even brighter in the raging storm. It was an indomitable will and a resolute attitude to protect humanity.

"Father, elder brother..."

Ji Fa couldn't help but be moved and took two steps forward, wanting to get closer to them.

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang and Bo Yikao turned around and smiled gently at him.

Bigan looked at Yu Shi and Feng Bo with a righteous expression: "Humans are not at fault, so leave at once."

Seeing this, the Rain Master and Wind Master were furious. They pointed their magical weapons at the three of them and roared, "As gods of the Heavenly Court, do you dare to openly defy the Jade Emperor's decree?" Their voices were like rolling thunder, echoing in the wind and rain.

Bi Gan, with a cold and stern expression, retorted without fear: "We are not gods of the Heavenly Court. From beginning to end, we have always been gods of the human race!" His words were firm and powerful, like the resounding of a great bell, piercing through the wind and rain.

Ji Chang nodded slowly, his gaze steady and resolute, and continued, "We were granted titles for our meritorious service in protecting the people. What does this have to do with the Heavenly Court?"

Bo Yikao's face was gentle, but his eyes were full of determination. He said softly but firmly, "As gods among men, we will forever protect the human race."

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them waved their hands at the same time. In an instant, countless pale golden starlight poured down like fine rain, intertwining and converging to form a huge and transparent dome above the capital city.

The shimmering light of the canopy kept out the torrential rain and howling winds. The capital city, which had been ravaged by the storm and was on the verge of collapse, was instantly restored to tranquility.

As the Rain Master and Wind Master looked at the solid barrier before them, their faces grew increasingly grim, turning from blue to purple in turns.

The two exchanged a glance, and finally said fiercely, "We will definitely report this matter to the Jade Emperor truthfully!"

Having said that, filled with resentment and anger, he transformed into a gust of wind and hastily departed.

Suddenly, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. The people, witnessing this scene, were first stunned, then erupted in a deafening cheer.

The four Nezha, who had already arrived in Haojing, hid in a corner, exchanging smiles.

"As expected, we didn't need to take action."

Ao Bing said with a smile, while Ruoshui looked around at the current situation in the capital, "I can still help in some ways."

After greeting the three, Ruoshui flew towards Ji Fa. After all, with her abilities, resolving the current flooding in the city would be quite simple.

"Then what do we do? Leave?"

Since he didn't need them, Ao Bing was thinking of going to heaven to watch the show.

Nezha crossed his arms and said, "The Jade Emperor doesn't seem like he'll let this go easily. I suspect he has more tricks up his sleeve."

"Should we stay here and guard this place?" Yang Chan looked at the people who, although they had escaped the calamity, had indeed suffered a great disaster, and felt very sorry for them.

Nezha thought for a while, "Ao Bing has the East Sea, so it's not good to directly confront the Jade Emperor. I'll go to the Heavenly Court to find my second brother. You and Yang Chan stay here."

“Okay, staying here can also help these people.”

Yang Chan had no objections, and Ao Bing, under Nezha's massive fist, dared not voice any objections either.

It was settled then. Nezha rode his Wind Fire Wheels and rushed towards the Heavenly Court, while Yang Chan and Ao Bing revealed themselves, met Ji Fa, and joined the restoration work together.

...

"They've rebelled! How dare they!"

Inside the Jade Pool, upon hearing the report from the returning Rain Master and Wind Master, the Jade Emperor was furious, his anger surging like magma. He not only lashed out at Bigan and the others, but also lost all trust in the newly joined deities of Heaven.

Enraged, the Jade Emperor, without hesitation, loudly ordered: "Summon the Great Golden Crow to an audience immediately!"

The heavenly soldiers withdrew upon receiving their orders. The Queen Mother, who was standing nearby, was greatly alarmed and hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, you must not act rashly! How can you so easily send troops to the mortal realm?"

The Jade Emperor snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and said, "You overestimate the human world. It's far too early for me to send troops. Why would I easily launch a major military campaign?"

The Queen Mother, filled with doubt, couldn't help but ask, "Then what is the purpose of His Majesty's summons of the Great Golden Crow?"

"How can the stars compete with the sun?" The Jade Emperor gave a cold smile. "Those star lords want to protect Ji Fa and the human race, but I will not allow it. I will let the Great Golden Crow scorch Ji Fa to death, so that the world will know the consequences of defying the Heavenly Court!"

"this……"

Even the Queen Mother was terrified and wanted to dissuade him, but the Jade Emperor refused outright. The Jade Emperor now had many subordinates and was no longer the hesitant and insecure ruler he once was. He wouldn't allow anyone else to object, not even the Queen Mother.

...

"I refuse."

"What did you say?"

The Jade Emperor looked incredulous, while the Great Golden Crow remained indifferent: "I refuse."

"How dare you!" the Jade Emperor roared in fury. "Who gave you the audacity to refuse me? This is an order! An imperial decree!"

The Great Golden Crow raised its eyes and looked coldly at the Jade Emperor, showing no sign of backing down: "The duty of the Sun Star is to guard the Three Realms!"

"I am the ruler of the Three Realms. Obeying me is to protect the Three Realms!"

"What a smug face! Who acknowledges you as the ruler of the Three Realms?"

The heavenly soldiers and generals flew in backwards, and Juanlian hurriedly said, "It's terrible! It's terrible! Yang Jian and Nezha have broken in again..."

"Shut up!"

The Queen Mother glared at the curtain again. "You tell me, these two have already come in, what are you talking about now!"

"How dare you!"

The Jade Emperor was furious. "Yang Jian, Nezha, who gave you the audacity to storm the Heavenly Court?"

"If you don't give me the guts, I'll come back a second time!"

Nezha, wielding his fire-tipped spear, was exceptionally arrogant.

The Queen Mother, her voice trembling, rebuked Yang Jian: "Yang Jian! We clearly agreed that you, as the Manifest Saint True Lord appointed by the Heavenly Court, why did you trespass into the Heavenly Court? Where is the majesty of the Heavenly Court?"

Yang Jian, holding his three-pointed double-edged spear, said calmly, "Your Majesty, we have indeed reached an agreement. Now, we are using our own methods to maintain peace in the Three Realms and to restrain His Majesty."

After saying that, Yang Jian and Nezha simultaneously raised their guns and aimed them at the Jade Emperor.

"you!"

The Jade Emperor was both furious and terrified. He looked at the Great Golden Crow beside him and shouted, "Great Golden Crow, hurry and save the Emperor! Capture them!"

The Great Golden Crow glanced at Yang Jian and Nezha, then at the Jade Emperor, and silently closed its eyes.

"you!"

Seeing this, Nezha laughed loudly: "Haha... Jade Emperor, do you know how unpopular you are?"

"Protect the Emperor! Quickly, someone come to protect the Emperor!"
