“I, Li Daoyi, always keep my word. Since I promised to rescue your mother, I will naturally do it. However, now is not the best time,” Li Daoyi said to Kong Xuan.

"Alright, I believe you." After saying that, Kong Xuan finished his drink, showing that he firmly stood by Li Daoyi's side.

The others stared in shock at Li Daoyi, who was actually going to rescue Yuan Feng.

"Fellow Daoist, you..." Tongtian wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he didn't know where to begin.

"I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure I can do," Li Daoyi said with a smile.

Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, the others no longer had any doubts.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On March 18th, the entire city of Chaoge was decorated in a very grand manner.

"Hey, Junior Sister Nuwa, you should cherish the human race," Tongtian said, looking at the jubilant crowd.

"Actually, we can't blame Nuwa. After all, the demon race is also her people. Besides, that's just her nature. She doesn't like fighting and killing. It's already remarkable that she was able to protect the human race at a critical moment," Li Daoyi said.

Tongtian nodded upon hearing this.

"Hey, look! Yin Shou is out!"

At this moment, Mengmeng pointed towards the direction of the palace and shouted.

Everyone looked over and saw Yin Shou dressed in black imperial robes and wearing a crown, riding in a carriage pulled by a dragon horse, with Queen Jiang beside him.

Dan Chenzi, Xuan Tianzong, Wen Zhong, and other ministers and feudal lords followed closely behind the carriage, forming a grand and impressive procession.

"I'll go take a look."

As Mengmeng was about to jump out of the window, Li Daoyi grabbed her.

“You’re not going anywhere today,” Li Daoyi said.

"Why?"

The little guy looked displeased.

"You little rascal, don't ruin things. Stay put and we'll talk about it after today," Li Daoyi said, picking up the little guy. He couldn't let Mengmeng go out; who knew what kind of trouble she would cause? He still remembered the time they changed the clothes of the Nuwa statue.

"Fine, I won't go then. They're ignoring you." Mengmeng said, turning her head to the side, looking adorably sulky.

"Hahaha." Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw the little guy's adorable appearance, and the tense atmosphere eased up a lot.

“Fellow Daoist, you said that those two from the West would bring about the Great Calamity. I wonder if they will come?” Tongtian said at this moment.

"Hmph, those two bastards will definitely come. They're experts at stirring up trouble," Kunpeng couldn't help but say coldly.

Li Daoyi smiled without saying a word, gently patting Mengmeng's back as if to comfort the little one.

The people followed Yin Shou's procession toward the Nuwa Palace. The vast procession, stretching as far as the eye could see, filled the streets.

Soon, the procession arrived at Nuwa Palace. Yin Shou and Queen Jiang stepped down from the carriage at the same time, and several priests held up ritual implements and gestured around the two of them.

The ceremony lasted for a long time. Finally, the Human King was the first to step into Nuwa Palace, followed by civil and military officials, while the common people knelt down in devout worship.

The moment the palace gates were pushed open, just like in the past, a massive force of faith flew out of Nuwa Palace, heading towards the Nuwa Palace outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"Amazing." Tongtian said with some envy as he looked at the power of faith in the sky.

Just after the power of faith disappeared, a slight ripple appeared in the sky. The ripple was so small that no one noticed it.

"Eeya".

Mengmeng, who was originally lying on Li Daoyi's neck angrily, sensed something and turned to look at the sky. At that moment, Li Daoyi was also looking at the sky.

"Hmm?" Everyone noticed the unusual behavior of the brother and sister and followed their gaze to the sky.

The others seemed not to notice anything, but Tongtian's eyes gleamed slightly before his expression turned cold.

"Hmph, those two bastards, they really showed up," Tongtian said coldly.

"What? Those two from the West have arrived?" Kunpeng asked hurriedly.

At this moment, Li Daoyi turned around, reached out and drew a circle in the air, and a picture gradually appeared, in which were the hidden figures of Jieyin and Zhunti.

Everyone immediately showed expressions of surprise.

"Won't they hurt the King?" Hongyun asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, they don't have the guts. They'll just affect Yin Shou's mind to achieve their ulterior motives," Li Daoyi said slowly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Daoyi waved his hand again, and a mirror image appeared on the side, showing Yin Shou and his group.

At this time, Yin Shou, several important ministers, and two great marquises had already entered the temple, and even Li Jing was able to accompany them.

The temple had changed significantly since Emperor Yi's visit, especially the statue of Nuwa, which had become taller, more lifelike, and more sacred after the renovation, inspiring a sense of reverence.

Several priests quickly offered the prepared tributes, while Yin Shou and the others bowed and waited, appearing very devout.

Meanwhile, in another scene, the Sage extends his finger, and an imperceptible energy appears at his fingertip, which floats and flies downwards.

"He's made his move!" Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed, watching the scene.

Everyone then looked at Li Daoyi.

"Don't rush, let's wait and see."

The invisible energy flew into the temple, hovered around everyone for a while, and then flew directly towards the respectful Yin Shou.

"Well..."

Yin Shou suddenly felt his body and head tense up, and then he shivered.

"Your Majesty..." Wen Zhong, who was behind him, called out cautiously upon seeing this.

Yin Shou shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

However, at this moment, his eyes began to change, from a devout gaze to one that was somewhat amused.

Soon the offerings were arranged, and the priests slowly retreated to both sides.

Yin Shou straightened his clothes, then looked up at the statue of Nuwa, his eyes suddenly becoming unfocused, and he was completely stunned.

The people behind him were puzzled when they saw that he did not react for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Wen Zhong called out several times.

"Ah, oh, okay..." Yin Shou finally came to his senses, hurriedly took out the sacrificial text he had prepared in advance, and then began to read it. It was full of praise for Nuwa, from the beginning of the human race to the present, and the wording was very ornate.

"Strange, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you today?" Wen Zhong's mind was on Yin Shou, and he was puzzled because this was not the Yin Shou he usually was.

A quarter of an hour later, the eulogy, which was thousands of words long, was finally read aloud, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then everyone knelt down and performed the grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows. Only Nuwa was qualified to enjoy this ceremony, which shows the respect that the human race had for her.

After all the rituals were completed, Yin Shou walked to the offering table, lit a few incense sticks, and respectfully placed them on it. Then, he looked up at the statue of Nuwa again and suddenly his body trembled.

He turned around and shouted.

"Bring me pen and ink."

"Your Majesty..." The crowd was somewhat puzzled.

But soon a civil official came out, and he happened to have a pen and ink on him.

Yin Shou took the brush and ink and walked to the pillar next to the statue.

The crowd gathered around, realizing that the king intended to leave behind his calligraphy, which, although somewhat inappropriate, seemed harmless.

"The phoenix and luan jeweled tent is a magnificent sight, adorned with exquisite gold leaf. The distant mountains curve in verdant hues, and the fluttering sleeves reflect the rosy clouds. Pear blossoms, glistening with rain, vie in their allure, while peonies, shrouded in mist, display their captivating beauty. If only such enchanting beauty could move, she could be brought back to Chang Le Palace to serve the emperor." With swift, flowing strokes, Yin Shou quickly penned four lines of poetry, nodding in satisfaction.

Those around them stared wide-eyed, incredulous at what had just happened.

"Your Majesty, no, no! This is blasphemy!" Wen Zhong exclaimed in alarm. He then stepped forward to erase the poems from the pillar.

"Grand Tutor, stop!" Yin Shou shouted hurriedly.

"I admire the Holy Mother Nuwa. It's just a few lines of poetry. Why make such a fuss?" Yin Shou laughed.

These words might not be inappropriate under normal circumstances, but this is the Nuwa Palace, and the last two sentences have offended the Holy Mother Nuwa, which is why everyone is worried.

"Tsk tsk, so that's how it is." Tongtian from Zhutianlou exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes, this way we can neither harm the Human King nor harm Nuwa with his actions. Jieyin is indeed cunning," Zhen Yuanzi agreed.

Inside the Nuwa Palace, many ministers began to feel uneasy, sensing that Yin Shou was behaving strangely today.

At the same time, beyond the nine heavens, a figure was riding auspicious clouds towards the mortal world; atop the auspicious clouds was the sage Nuwa.

Before she even left the celestial realm, Nuwa sensed something. She stopped her auspicious cloud, reached out and began to calculate, then frowned and her face turned cold.

"This is outrageous! How dare the King humiliate me like this!"

But then she seemed to remember something and fell into a deep thought.

“Yin Shou is that person’s disciple, he would never be so frivolous. Could there be something more to this…” Nuwa murmured.

At this moment, she recalled what Li Daoyi had told her several years ago: she would be the one to start the great calamity.

Just then, Nuwa sensed a force watching her, and her expression immediately changed.

"How can such a debauched ruler be worthy of being a king?"

After saying that, Nuwa reached out and began to calculate.

"How is it possible that the fortune of the Shang Dynasty is so abundant?" Nuwa exclaimed in surprise.

She then abandoned her plan to go to the lower realm and took out a magical artifact that looked like a prayer flag. The flag was golden in color and had the character for "demon" written on it; it was the Demon-Summoning Banner.

The moment she took out the treasure, the strange feeling that had been giving her disappeared. Nuwa smiled coldly. She had just been putting on an act for the person who was spying on her.

Nuwa then looked at the demon-summoning banner in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then shook it.

As she swayed, the demon-summoning banner emitted bursts of energy that spread outwards.

Nuwa then chanted a spell over the demon-summoning banner.

"Come to Nuwa Palace to see me immediately."
