Chapter 304, the final chapter.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother let out another cold laugh, her gaze piercing Dong Yong like a knife. She questioned, "When I gave you the choice, you were so eloquent, but when you saw me draw out the immortal bone, you panicked and changed your mind. Did you think I would be soft-hearted and grant you immortality directly? Do you think becoming a mortal isn't worth it for her, or do you think a mortal wife isn't worth it for you?"

Under the Queen Mother's gaze, which seemed to see through people's hearts, Dong Yong fell silent instantly. His mouth opened and closed several times, but he couldn't say anything.

"Dong Yong..."

How could she not see through his expression if she liked him so much? At this moment, Xiao Qi felt immense pain, the agony of having her bones pulled out was magnified a thousandfold, "I misjudged him..."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother guided the Immortal Bone's hand to strike down with a palm. Little Seven immediately let out a shrill scream and fainted on the ground, while the Queen Mother pushed the Immortal Bone back into her body.

The Queen Mother looked somewhat reluctant, but still used magic to awaken Xiao Qi and asked in a cold voice, "Qi'er, I'll ask you one more time: you descended to the mortal realm without permission and married a mortal, violating the heavenly rules. What should be done then?"

Xiao Qi gritted her teeth and struggled to her feet, then staggered and knelt before the Queen Mother: "Xiao Qi... as the seventh princess of Heaven... misjudged people... violated the Heavenly Laws... and should be severely punished."

"My wife!"

Dong Yong frantically called out to Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi knelt on the ground, her back to him, motionless, only lowering her head and continuing, "Xiao Qi's example... should serve as a warning to those who come after... One should not succumb to desire..."

The Queen Mother did not reply, but instead asked, "Then how should this ill-fated relationship be dealt with?"

"This ill-fated relationship... I shall end it myself."

Xiao Qi conjured a sword, used it to support herself as she struggled to her feet, and walked towards Dong Yong. Dong Yong, still sitting on the ground, frantically moved backward: "Wife, are you going to kill me?"

Xiao Qi forced a smile and shook her head: "I won't kill you. I used to value your filial piety, righteousness, and handsomeness. I was the one who fell in love with you first, giving you whatever you wanted. It's not hard to understand why you might have other thoughts, but..."

Xiao Qi looked up at Dong Yong, seeing the panic on his face, and couldn't see any trace of the attraction he once had for him.

"It's just that the effort wasn't equal, so I can't help feeling resentful... Maybe I didn't like you that much after all..."

Xiao Qi gave a self-deprecating laugh, which made Dong Yong even more anxious: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi..."

“We’re even. I don’t want your life, but these things,” Xiao Qi looked around, “these external possessions created with magic will ultimately not belong to you.”

"Xiao Qi, no!"

Dong Yong spoke in fear, but Xiao Qi swung his sword, and the ornately decorated Dong Mansion instantly turned into ruins, with all the gold and silver treasures vanishing without a trace.

Dong Yong frantically reached out to touch it, trying to restore it, but he couldn't do it no matter what. His heartbroken and frantic appearance seemed even more profound than when she extracted the immortal bone.

Xiao Qi smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, even if you say that material possessions are not important, you still can't live without them. Without them, you can't talk about love."

[To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit; the Seventh Princess has done just that.]

There's no way around it; this is the consequence of clinging to a woman's affections.

[That's why I say love between humans and gods never ends well. How many Yao Jis can there be in the Three Realms?]

I think this is a good thing, very humane, it's entirely up to the individual's choice.

[A warning to future generations: It's heartbreaking to see men suffer a lifetime of bad luck]

Fellow Daoist, don't be so extreme.

[Got it. I feel sorry for men (mortals, gods, monsters) who are unlucky their whole lives. Weaver Girl left a comment with her real name, and challenged me to a debate.]

【Amitabha! The Seventh Princess has severed ties with the mortal world today and attained great enlightenment. She seems to have an affinity with Buddhism. How about joining our Buddhist sect?】

[Get lost, you bald monk! You've tried to steal my thunder, and now you're trying to steal my thunder from Heaven?]

...

The first live broadcast of the human-god love identification concluded successfully, and the Seventh Princess returned to Heaven for confinement and punishment; Dong Yong lost nothing except what he shouldn't have had; the Queen Mother proclaimed the justice of the Heavenly Laws; and the time for the new Heavenly Laws to be born was approaching.

As for the general public, and even the gods and Buddhas of the three realms, they all gained the joy of gossip... no, they all gained entirely new insights.

"It's out! It's out!"

Ao Bing splashed around among the piles of spirit stones and magical artifacts, his eyes shining even brighter.

What are these things?

Nezha followed Yang Jiao and Yang Chan back to the Yang residence. Seeing Ao Bing's appearance, he asked in surprise.

"This is all revenue from live streaming!"

Ao Bing swept his large hand up and lifted up countless magical artifacts.

Nezha raised an eyebrow, looking at Yang Jiao with a confused and shocked expression: "Revenue from live streaming? You even receive gifts during your live streams?"

Yang Jiao smiled gently: "The first case before the new Heavenly Laws are enacted. At such a momentous occasion, isn't it worth sacrificing something material?"

Nezha was speechless. He looked at the room full of good things, then at Yang Jiao, and asked uncertainly, "No, if you want them, others will give them to you?"

"It's a fair trade, isn't it? If you didn't know beforehand, let me tell you now: you have a chance to confront the Queen Mother who disregards mother-daughter relations and punishes the Seventh Princess; or you have a chance to be the first to understand the new Heavenly Laws and comprehend the Great Dao. Wouldn't you be willing to give up a little bit of spirit stones and magic artifacts?"

Upon hearing Yang Jiao's question, Nezha nodded subconsciously, but couldn't help but complain, "Is it based on fairness or on fists...?"

"What did you say?" Yang Jiao asked with a smile, then suddenly said, "I almost forgot, everyone who sees this stuff gets a share."

Nezha immediately changed the subject, giving a thumbs up: "I say, you did a great job! No wonder others were willing to seize such a good opportunity!"

"cut--"

Ao Bing couldn't help but laugh. Nezha rolled his eyes at him, then rolled his eyes and suggested, "I think live streaming is a great thing. Not only can we live stream the love between humans and gods, but we can also live stream when Wukong goes to the East Sea to retrieve the Ruyi Jingu Bang."

"What 'Sea-Stabilizing Needle'!" Ao Bing jumped up suddenly. "Stop thinking about my family's 'Sea-Stabilizing Needle' all the time."

"Heh, I wonder who said they wanted to give the Ruyi Jingu Bang to Wukong."

“I… what did I say?” Ao Bing said, his voice both defiant and self-righteous. “It’s not now, it has to wait until my father abdicates.”

Nezha laughed and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "You are truly your father's good son."

Yang Chan couldn't help but shake her head; she really was just like a child. At that moment, the Lotus Lantern in her arms suddenly floated out.

"This is?"

All eyes were drawn to him. Yang Jiao walked out of the house, looked at the golden sky, and smiled leisurely: "The new Heavenly Laws are complete."

The three of them came out and looked up at the sky. At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren, who lived deep in the mountains and forests, also came out. All kinds of gods, monsters, and Buddhas came out and looked up at the sky to see the birth of the new heavenly rules.

With the emergence of the new Heavenly Laws, changes are quietly taking place between heaven and earth.

A star appeared, casting a beam of light that fell upon the celestial palace. Gazing in that direction, Yang Chan murmured with delight, "Has Second Brother succeeded?"

Yang Jiao chuckled: "With the new Heavenly Laws promulgated and Lord Lianzhen returning to his position, the stars are shining brightly."

As soon as the words were spoken, the solitary Yuheng star paused for a moment before shining brightly, influencing the stars in all directions. Countless stars appeared in the sky, connecting with each other, their light illuminating the earth.

A voice full of wisdom and power echoed between heaven and earth, resonating in the hearts of everyone. The voice had no specific words; it was the whisper of the Great Dao, bringing forth an indescribable sense of enlightenment in everyone's heart.

Heaven and earth are now separated, but from this moment on, the mortal realm will officially become the domain of humanity. As time goes by, humanity will gradually become the master of heaven and earth; this is the consciousness of the world, and also the ultimate path of the Great Dao.
