"Are you crazy?" The Emperor of Heaven was even more furious. "Seventy-two thunder punishments, are you kidding me?
Since I became conscious, in the hundreds of thousands of years since then, there have been only a handful of people who have been able to withstand the seventy-two thunder punishments.
What's more, how can you survive when your soul and spiritual power are damaged?
Do you want to perish just like that?
Furthermore, the Demon King is now watching covetously, and we don’t know when the demons will attack.
Even if you can luckily survive the thunder punishment, as the God of War in Heaven, how can you fight against the Demon Lord?
Do you have the heart to abandon the peace of all people in heaven to satisfy your own selfish desires?"
The Emperor secretly curled his lips, this might be the perfect time for him to come to Heaven.
"So, what do you think I should do to be more prudent?
My brother, please don't try to persuade me to abandon my wife and children. That is absolutely impossible.
I believe that for hundreds of thousands of years, I have never wronged anyone. I have done enough for the people of this world. If I were asked to betray my lover and children for the sake of the so-called people of this world, it would be absolutely impossible."
His face was solemn and his words were stern, without a hint of pretense or threat.
The Emperor of Heaven is in a difficult situation.
He pondered for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh, "Never mind, let's discuss this matter later. The most urgent thing is, we should prepare well and deal with the Demon Lord first."
Ao Yan knew that this was a delaying tactic and was unwilling to comply. "No, in my brother's heart, the matter of the Demon Lord is of course the most important, but in my heart, resolving the issue of Shu'er and the child's status is also the most important thing. I can't let her follow me around with a big belly without any status, right?
My brother should know that a mother's mood during pregnancy is extremely important to her child's development. I don't want Shu'er's unhappiness to affect his future temperament...
Otherwise, brother, will you arrange for someone to take me to be punished by thunder tomorrow? The demons won't just come when they say so. After the punishment, I can continue to practice well."
"No," the Emperor flatly refused. He was silent for a moment. "How about this? Tomorrow, I'll have someone organize a small family gathering. You can bring your so-and-so cousin along first. We'll discuss it then."
What the Emperor of Heaven was thinking was that if Ao Yan really couldn't be persuaded, he might as well start with his other half, appealing to her emotions and reason. Perhaps she would understand the greater good and leave on her own initiative?

Fairy Jiliang ultimately failed to enter Chongyan Palace, so she had to return angrily, destroying all the flowers and plants along the way.
Half a day later, Emperor Ao Yan came back as if nothing had happened.
He did not tell Li Shushu the details of his conversation with the Emperor of Heaven.
He didn't want Shu'er to worry about this matter, so he just took care of her daily life considerately and attentively.
During the meal, in addition to the daily diet, the Emperor also specially stewed a bowl of heaven and earth spiritual treasures for Shu'er to nourish her body.
After the meal, he thought about how Shu'er must have been very bored since it was her first time in heaven and she was locked up in Chongyan Palace all day, so he decided to take her out for a walk.
The fairyland is indeed different from the mortal world. Fairy air lingers everywhere, and the temperature is just right, neither too cold nor too hot.
There is no distinction between day and night in heaven.
However, at this moment, it was dusk in the mortal world, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds, making it particularly lively.
The Emperor held Shu'er's hand and walked slowly along a fairy bridge outside Chongyan Palace. The fairy bridge was long and winding. Li Shushu didn't know where they were going, so she asked curiously, "Husband, where are we going?"
The Emperor curled his lips. "Shu'er, when you were in the mortal world, didn't you love looking at the stars the most? How about I take you and the baby to the Star Observatory to see the stars up close?"
When Li Shushu heard this, he was very happy and said, "Okay, okay."
The Emperor held her hand and walked slowly all the way to a very remote place. He put his arm around her slender waist and flew straight down. After flying through several layers of heaven, the dark sky appeared in front of Li Shushu, like a huge black curtain. The Milky Way in the sky was splashed on the curtain, dotted with stars, extremely dazzling.
There was a fairy holding a magic weapon, pointing and talking there.
When the fairies saw the Emperor coming, they hurriedly saluted. The Emperor exempted them from the formalities and let them arrange the stars as usual. He took Shu'er by the hand and watched quietly from the side.
The fairy was looking at a nebula map in her hand very seriously, using a magic tool to adjust the positions of the large and small stars on the black curtain.
Observing the stars up close is naturally different from looking at them from a distance. When they are closer, Li Shushu sees that the stars are all big and round balls, just like the moon he sees every day, so he finds it very novel.
Li Shushu was watching very seriously. The Emperor saw it and asked gently and lovingly, "Shu'er, do you want to arrange the stars yourself?"
"Is it okay?" Li Shushu's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Of course." After the Emperor said this, he walked up to the fairy from Nabu Star and said something. He then took the nebula map and magic weapon from her hands, handed them to Li Shushu, and patiently taught her how to use them.
Li Shushu used a magic tool to imitate the fairy, and from a distance directed the round planets on the nebula map to roll to their corresponding positions.
That feeling is so healing and fulfilling.
Soon, all the stars in the sky were placed in their positions, and the fairy bowed again and left.
For a moment, on the Buxing Platform, only the Emperor was left holding Li Shushu and watching quietly.
Suddenly, Li Shushu saw many bright little spots beside the Milky Way, flashing colorful lights.
She found it very novel, so she ran down the Star-Distributing Platform carefully and picked up the stones along the edge of the night sky. When she picked them up, she saw that they were actually some colorful small stones. "These are fragments of fallen stars," the Emperor explained patiently, knowing that she did not recognize them.
