Unfazed by the sudden power, Yuexi casually waved her hand, shattering the power of the laws and instantly reducing the fierce attack to nothingness.

"Queen Mother of the West?! What! You want a beating too?!" Yuexi's indifferent voice rang out, her gaze fixed on the Queen Mother of the West.

Meeting Yuexi's gaze, the Queen Mother of the West's expression hardened. "Yuexi, why must you go to such extremes?!"

The Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms; your actions are truly inappropriate!

Upon hearing this,

Yuexi remained cold as she said, "Is it his fault, or mine?! Humph!"

"If you want to make a move, then there's no need for further words! As for Haotian, don't worry! I won't kill him!"

Queen Mother of the West: "..."

Gods: !!!

This is utterly disrespectful to the Heavenly Emperor; it's worse than killing him.

The Queen Mother of the West replied, "Moon Goddess, let's stop here! Today's events were the Heavenly Emperor's fault, and he will apologize to the Moon Goddess another day."

At this moment,

The Queen Mother of the West adopted a very humble posture. As the head of all the female immortals in the Heavenly Court, she naturally possessed her majesty and pride. However, she was well aware that if a battle were to break out, even if she and Haotian joined forces, they would not gain any advantage.

Moreover, Yuexi is not alone; there are many members of the Jie Sect's branch sects, each with exceptional cultivation, including one who rivals a saint. In such a scenario, if a battle were to break out, they would be the ones who lose face.

Because of the Queen Mother of the West's interruption, Haotian had already regained his senses and forcibly suppressed his anger.

As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, a great god who has cultivated for countless years, his temperament is naturally unparalleled.

However, due to a series of recent events, coupled with Yuexi's position in his heart, his inner demons have gained the upper hand.

"Moon Goddess, I apologize to you. I have been too busy lately and have neglected my cultivation. My inner demons took advantage of my weakness and I hope you will forgive my lapse in composure," Haotian said.

Yuexi ignored Haotian's words and simply removed her suppression.

immediately,

As Yuexi entered the Taiyin Star, a magnificent palace rose from the ground with a wave of her hand. At the same time, outside the Taiyin Star, the power of laws flowed, and the Taiyin Star, which was just a moment ago damaged, was now gradually restoring to its former glory.

In the void,

Haotian left with an extremely gloomy expression, ignoring Xi Wangmu. Xi Wangmu also didn't care about the Jade Emperor's attitude and disappeared into the void in a flash.

...

at the same time,

East China Sea,

Inside the Dragon Palace,

The Dragon Kings of the South Sea (Ao Qin), West Sea (Ao Shun), and North Sea (Ao Run), along with the most powerful members of the dragon race, gathered inside the Dragon Palace.

"Now that my elder brother has perished, the East Sea needs to elect a new Dragon King to rule the East Sea, strengthen the power of our dragon clan, and one day, kill Nezha to avenge my elder brother and my nephew Ao Bing." Ao Qin's words rang out at this moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Shun and Ao Run echoed Ao Qin's words.

at the same time,

Ao Run then said, "Second brother, third brother, in my opinion, Ao Jia should take over the position of eldest brother and become the new ruler of the East Sea."

Before Ao Qin and Ao Shun could speak, a voice rang out, "To become the ruler of the East Sea, one's strength must be unparalleled in the East Sea. Eldest brother's strength is still somewhat lacking."

Uncles, I, Ao Yi, believe I am no less capable than my eldest brother. Although the position of Lord of the East Sea requires the witness of you three, the East Sea shall ultimately have the final say!

I wish to have a contest with my elder brother; the winner will become the Dragon King and succeed our father as the new ruler of the East Sea.

Seeing this,

Ao Qin and the other two exchanged glances, then turned their attention to Ao Jia.

Ao Jia then said, "Since Second Brother has this idea, then let us do as Second Brother says."

The throne of the Dragon King shall be occupied by the most capable!

Hearing Ao Jia say this, Ao Qin said, "Alright, then you two brothers should have a contest, and the winner will become the new Lord of the East Sea."

then,

Ao Jia and Ao Yi took their stances, and then each unleashed their supernatural powers, engaging in battle.

Ao Jia and Ao Yi are both at the Golden Immortal level, which is quite good among the younger generation.

Ao Jia and Ao Yi were evenly matched in cultivation, and it was difficult to determine a winner for the time being.

at this time,

Within the ethnic group,

The pretty, adorable little girl pouted and muttered, "Boring!"

The battle lasted for half an hour, and Ao Jia and Ao Yi were still locked in a stalemate.

The little girl frowned slightly, just as she was about to make a move, a golden light shot in from outside the Dragon Palace.

At that very moment, a figure appeared within the Dragon Palace, and its voice rang out simultaneously.

"The Heavenly Emperor's decree!"

As his voice fell, Ao Jia and Ao Yi stopped fighting, and Ao Qin led the crowd to receive the Heavenly Emperor's decree.

As Ao Qin knelt down, all the dragons present knelt down, except for the little girl.

The god delivering the decree, oblivious to the little girl, continued reading the decree aloud.

"By imperial decree, the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang, has perished. I am deeply saddened and hereby bestow upon the East Sea a number of treasures to commemorate Ao Guang's merits. However, the East Sea cannot be without a ruler for even a day. After much deliberation, I have found that there is no one among the dragon clans of the East Sea who is capable of serving as the Dragon King. Therefore, I have appointed Venus as the temporary Dragon King of the East Sea. Once a suitable candidate for Dragon King has been cultivated, the position will be filled by a member of the dragon clan."

As the words fell,

The dragons exchanged glances, and Ao Qin, Ao Shun, and Ao Run's expressions subtly changed.

When they surrendered to the Heavenly Court, Haotian promised that the Dragon Clan would control the four seas. How long has it been? Is Haotian already planning to break the promise he made back then?

When the Dragon King passed away, the Jade Emperor only issued one decree, which merely mentioned the death of their elder brother in passing, gave him some symbolic gifts, and even wanted to strip the Dragon King of his position.

"What?! The three Dragon Kings have interrupted and disobeyed the Heavenly Emperor's decree?" the deity in charge of delivering the decree said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ao Qin suppressed his dissatisfaction, not daring to show the slightest displeasure, and hurriedly replied, "We dare not, how could we dare to disobey the Heavenly Emperor's decree?"

Ao Shun and Ao Run hurriedly responded, not daring to disobey the Heavenly Emperor's decree.

The Dragon Clan is no longer what it used to be. Before the Lich War, Haotian was nothing. But during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, the Dragon Clan was still the overlord of heaven and earth, while Haotian was nowhere to be found.

But now, everything has changed. The dragon race is weak and can only be slaughtered at will.

Nowadays, the dragon race would never dare to offend Haotian or the Heavenly Court, otherwise, the dragon race might be wiped out forever in the primordial world.

Things are not what they used to be; the dragon race can never regain its former glory.

What the dragons find most shameful is that one of the main reasons they can still exist is because dragon flesh is a delicacy for immortals.

As the ruler of Heaven, when does the Jade Emperor not eat dragon liver?!

Think of the dragon race of yesteryear, and look at it today—how tragic is the dragon race!

At this moment, Ao Jia and Ao Yi were also filled with resentment, but how could they dare to disobey the Heavenly Emperor's decree?

If you disobey the Heavenly Emperor's decree, forget about the Dragon King's position or the Lord of the East Sea; you'll lose your life!

Seeing the dragons' reaction, the deity delivering the decree smiled with satisfaction and contempt, then arrogantly said, "In that case, accept the decree!"

At this time

The little girl looked at Ao Qin and the other dragons and couldn't help but sneer, "You all look like dogs! When you get out of here, don't you dare say you're dragons. Where is even a trace of dragon pride in you!"
