The young man screamed and looked at the broken divine tablet on the ground, his face turning pale in an instant.

Then he looked up at the yamen runner who was stunned by the thunder and said in a panic, "You're finished! You've smashed the Jade Emperor's shrine!"

Upon hearing this, the yamen runner subconsciously lowered his head to glance at the broken god tablet, then suddenly reacted. The next moment, his whole body trembled, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.

At this time, the people around also reacted and gathered around to take a look at the broken tablet. Then, they all turned to Gou De'an in horror and said, "You dog official, you are finished. This is the Jade Emperor's tablet!"

Gou De'an and his master had just been awakened by the thunder. When they heard these words, they were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled.

Could it be that the thunder just now was...

The master stumbled forward, walked into the crowd, picked up the broken tablets, and pieced them together. Sure enough, he saw a few majestic characters written on them: "The throne of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Mysterious Sky High God."

"Ah!" The master screamed, his face instantly pale. He hugged the broken ancestral tablet in his arms, turned around and rushed to Gou De'an and said, "County Master, it's over, it really is the Jade Emperor's tablet."

Gou De'an was struck by lightning and froze in his tracks. After a long moment, he pointed at the young man with a look of grief and indignation and said, "You...why did you bring the Jade Emperor's throne here?!"

The young man was also in a state of confusion at the moment. Hearing this, he couldn't help but mutter, "I... I also want the Jade Emperor to make the decision and stop you from demolishing the temple..."

At this moment, Qingping Mountain was suddenly filled with panic and fear, and the air around it had become stagnant.

...

The immortal light illuminates the jade sky and the golden palace, and the mysterious light shines through all the heavens and worlds.

This is the thirty-third heaven, above the Lingxiao Palace.

The ruler of the Three Realms and Ten Directions, the Four Births and Six Paths, the supreme being who holds the laws of Heaven under the Great Dao, whose full name is 'Taishang Kaitian Zhufu Yuli Hanzhentidao Jinque Yungong Jiuqiong Yuli Wandao Wuwei Dadao Mingdian Haotian Jinque Supreme Jade Emperor Pardoning Sins Great Heavenly Venerable Xuanqiong Gaoshangdi' sits high on the Lingxiao Palace, with a mysterious light illuminating all the realms behind him and the civil and military gods of Heaven below him.

In the Lingxiao Palace, where the immortal light permeated the sky, there was silence at this moment. Following the report of Qianliyan and Shunfenger, the gods in the Lingxiao Palace could not help but look at each other in bewilderment.

"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, the Great Celestial Venerable, in Yangxia County, Qianyun Prefecture, Zizheng State, Dongsheng Shenzhou, the County Magistrate Gou De'an ordered his servants to drive out the people and destroy the Golden Palace Divine Lord's throne."

The Golden Palace God's Seat is the respectful name for the Jade Emperor's ancestral tablet on earth.

At this moment, the memories of the gods present in heaven returned to Fengxian County hundreds of years ago.

At that time, the county magistrate of Fengxian County had a quarrel with his wife, overturned the altar of the Jade Emperor, and let the dog eat the offerings. This act was a blasphemy to the Jade Emperor, so the Heavenly Court did not send rain to Fengxian County.

Now, hundreds of years have passed, and mortals have become more and more powerful. This time, they directly smashed the tablet of the Jade Emperor on earth.

Smashing the tablet of a deity is almost equivalent to slapping the deity in the face, and the deity being slapped in the face is none other than the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the three realms.

"I report to the Jade Emperor that the mortals of Yangxia County are disrespectful to the Way of Heaven and defy the laws of Heaven, even daring to destroy the seat of the Golden Palace God. Your servant, Li Jing, requests your permission to capture the land god of Yangxia County and bring him to Heaven to face punishment! I also ask the Great Celestial Venerable to bring down a calamity as punishment." Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, stepped out of the ministerial ranks and bowed to the Jade Emperor.

As Li Jing reported, another burly deity, clad in the official uniform of the Divine Night Thunder Robe, stepped forward and announced in a thunderous voice, "I am ordered to preside over the Ministry of Thunder, responsible for thunderous punishments throughout the Three Realms, governing life and death. Now, a mortal has been extremely disrespectful and blasphemed the Jade Emperor's majesty. I request that the Taiyi Divine Thunder be sent down to sever thirty years of life and three thousand meritorious deeds from all living beings in Yangxia County as punishment."

This immortal official with a burly figure and wearing a Shenxiao thunder robe is none other than the ruler of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court, the Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun.

At this moment, all the gods were looking at the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor had his eyes slightly closed, his expression neither angry nor happy. He spoke in a calm and compassionate voice, "I decree to the City God of Qianyun Prefecture to investigate the cause of this incident and report to the Heavenly Court once the facts are fully understood. I will also send the Moon God Huang Chengyi down to the mortal realm to Qingping Mountain in Yangxia County to investigate the actions of the Land God Fang Jian since he took office, including his good deeds and bad consequences. Once the facts are fully understood, we will decide on the proper course of action."

"As you wish." Li Jing and Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun responded at the same time, and then returned to the ministers' group.
