Chapter 329 Extra Chapter: Viewing Space 10

Has the Jade Emperor gone mad?

Seeing the Jade Emperor detain Li Jing, who spoke up for Ji Fa, and seeing him send the Rain Master and Wind Master to bring disaster to the human world, Yang Chan exclaimed in disbelief.

"He's not crazy, he's just become arrogant and thinks he's the only one who matters in the world."

Yang Jian sneered, looked at the Queen Mother, and questioned, "In the past, you always said that my mother had desires. Now look at the Jade Emperor, isn't he also driven by desires? Aren't his desires for power and fame also desires?"

"Well, what can I do? He's the Jade Emperor—"

Nezha followed suit with his sarcastic remarks. The Queen Mother closed her eyes, sighed deeply, and couldn't find any excuse or reason for the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor was not just filled with desire, he was almost consumed by it. It seemed that even if she tried to persuade him, it would be of no use.

"Your Majesty, you must not act rashly! How can you so easily launch a military campaign against the lower realms?"

"You overestimate the human world. It's far too early for me to send troops. I would never 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 rival the sun's brilliance?" The Jade Emperor's lips curled into 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!"

As expected, upon seeing this, the Queen Mother was disappointed and powerless. After the Investiture of the Gods, the Heavenly Court's strength increased dramatically, and the Jade Emperor was no longer the Jade Emperor who needed to listen to her opinions.

The Queen Mother suddenly realized that it wasn't just that world; it was the same in reality. It was only because there were people like Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong, whose strength was so outstanding that they could challenge the Heavenly Court, that she seemed to still be on par with the Jade Emperor.

But after the initial disappointment, the Queen Mother, whose mind was clearer than ever before, realized that she had been taking the blame for the Jade Emperor all along and cleaning up his messes.

But what did she gain? A gradually diminishing status or a harsh and merciless reputation that was unbearable in the three realms?

Having figured things out, the Queen Mother, upon seeing the Great Golden Crow refusing the Jade Emperor's demands on the curtain, and witnessing Yang Jian and Nezha storming into the Heavenly Court once again, and seeing the ministers opposing the Jade Emperor's decree, actually felt a sense of satisfaction.

Even seeing the Buddha "save the day" was somewhat regrettable.

She thought that she could now understand the feelings and reasons behind her own power grab.

"I remember that the Grandmaster Hongjun originally appointed you to jointly rule the Heavenly Court with the Jade Emperor."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's heart pounded wildly. She seemed to already see herself in power. So that's how it is...

"Huh?" Nezha didn't think much of it and asked directly, "So you rule with the Jade Emperor? Then why do people call you the Queen Mother? Is it because you're the Jade Emperor's wife?"

Yang Chan couldn't help but glance at him; his little mouth looked like it was smeared with poison. But you're talking about the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, so it's alright.

The Queen Mother was struck dumb. So, at this stage of Nezha's life, she was already "inferior"?

"How can a goddess like her manage the Heavenly Court?"

"Haotian, you have spent ten thousand years in the mortal realm undergoing tribulations, yet your character has not improved; instead, you have brought the mortal's concept of male superiority and female inferiority to the Heavenly Court."

That's right, if it weren't for the Jade Emperor or Haotian, this situation would be impossible!

They were clearly rulers of equal standing, their marriage a mere union forged during a tribulation, and she had helped him secure his position as Jade Emperor. Yet, deep down, he accepted the mortal world's rigid hierarchy of male and female authority—how ridiculous!

The Queen Mother actually laughed, a laugh that gave Nezha and Wukong the creeps, making them wonder if she had gone mad with anger.

"Pah! That old Jade Emperor, he's no good himself, all he cares about are these rules and regulations. What's wrong with women? Women are better than him!"

Sun Wukong cursed the Jade Emperor, and Nezha echoed, "That's right! So what if she's a woman? My mother is better than my father!"

The Queen Mother remained silent, but she knew that "she" wouldn't tolerate it any longer. Just seeing so much disappointment and anger in her, how could she, as the person directly involved, feel any remorse? As the Golden Mother of Yaochi, she would absolutely not show any mercy!

"Your Majesty, no, Haotian, I am not pleased. On the contrary, I am very disappointed. I am disappointed that you, a good Jade Emperor, have come to this point and lost the hearts of the people."

"I used to assist you diligently, but now I regret it. Why should I assist someone like you?"

The Jade Emperor angrily rebuked: "You have the ambition of a wolf!"

"A wolf's ambition?" The Queen Mother laughed. "The Ancestor ordered the two of us to rebuild the Heavenly Court. Look at these gods, which one, which one wasn't recruited by my own means? Which disaster wasn't stirred up by you? Which conflict wasn't resolved by me?"

"If this is a wolf's ambition, then so be it. It makes no sense. You can be the Jade Emperor, but I, the Queen Mother of the West, cannot!"

"good!"

Sun Wukong and Nezha cheered loudly, though Xiao Cunxin couldn't understand them. However, she played the part of the atmosphere-setter, clapping enthusiastically in response.

"Queen Mother, I find you more pleasing to the eye than that old Jade Emperor now."

"Yes, me too."

Wukong and Nezha sang in unison, while the Queen Mother remained silent. At that moment, she was filled with excitement and had a strong urge to try it all again as soon as she left this space.

However, being cautious by nature, she didn't reveal anything even though there were only six of them in the space. Instead, she calmly changed the subject: "Alright, let's move on to the next one."

Little did she know how many eyes were watching them from outside the space.

Even if not everyone can see through her thoughts, those who understand her, such as the Jade Emperor and the God of Justice, can more or less guess something.

The Jade Emperor is currently preoccupied with his own problems, while the God of Justice, Yang Jian, remains inactive, pondering how to achieve his goals.

As for the others, their attention had long been drawn to other movements on the sky.

Back when Yao Ji's incident occurred, Tianmu presented two choices, and everyone made their choices amidst much discussion. Then, Tianmu quickly came up with a new idea: selecting six different candidates from six small worlds—three who supported Yao Ji's family and three who supported the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother—and opening a separate screen for a debate.

Ultimately, all the people in the six small worlds voted, and the side with the most votes won a reward—the right to watch on demand.

So, when "The Queen Mother's Diary of Seizing Power" ended, it didn't play in the order that the people in the viewing area had expected.

Instead, a line of large characters popped up—
