Yao Qingcheng had never been so disheveled. When the thunder first sounded, she had a bad feeling. It seemed that the thunder was coming for her. Sure enough, bolts of thunder came straight for her. No matter how she dodged, the thunder could appear out of thin air and hit her with perfect accuracy.
A thought flashed through her mind: it was that ghost that was behind it. She felt even more hatred, but she had no choice but to hide. She still held onto a sliver of hope: what if she managed to escape?
However...
Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality.
What if it doesn't happen?
Dozens of bolts of lightning struck Yao Qingcheng with perfect accuracy. Soon, she was powerless to resist and could only resign herself to being struck by lightning.
Before she lost consciousness, she made up her mind to enter the Ghost Realm and kill the ghosts. Those ghosts had her Heavenly Ring on them, and she would eventually find them.
The thunder stopped.
Yao Qingcheng was already barely clothed, and her body, charred black as ink, didn't look very appealing.
The leading deity glanced at her awkwardly; Yao Qingcheng wouldn't be able to descend to the mortal realm anytime soon.
He sighed and ordered a divine soldier to take Yao Qingcheng back to the Immortal Physician for treatment. He then turned to Lei Guan and said, "Come with me to see the Emperor and explain this matter clearly. Otherwise, I will accuse you of dereliction of duty."
Lei Guan had already glimpsed the crack in the Heavenly Court—the Light-Separating Scissors?
His expression changed drastically. He knew he would be scolded if he went, but he had no choice but to go along with it.
Sure enough, not long after, the Emperor's fury was heard from the heavens above, and one name alarmed the hearts of all the gods.
That name is: Yu Jue.
...
The platform for proclaiming enlightenment.
Two men stood on the stage with their hands behind their backs.
The audience below was a dense, dark mass of ghosts.
The Proof Platform has existed for a long time and is located outside the Ghost Realm. Now it is July, the Ghost Festival, when all ghosts can walk in the human world. However, even more ghosts gather under the Proof Platform because this day is the day when the Supreme Ghost Jade challenges the Divine Lord Emperor Ci.
Such a momentous event would even attract ghosts to watch.
Yu Jue stood with a smile. "Please!"
Di Ci drew his longsword. "Make your move!"
The long sword was drawn with overwhelming force; as soon as it was unsheathed, the ghosts felt as if a sharp blade was scraping their faces, and they all took several steps back.
Yu Jue chuckled softly, her expression gentle and elegant, as if chatting casually with someone: "Emperor Ci's temperament is as good as ever."
Di Ci's face was as cold as iron. He didn't respond and instead held his long sword horizontally, which was then used to strike Di Ci without any politeness. "You sinner from the divine realm, what face do you have to challenge me?"
Yu Jue was once a high god in the divine realm. After descending to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations, when it was time for his ascension, he did not choose to ascend but instead fell into the ghost realm, which was a great disgrace to the divine realm.
Enraged, the Emperor sent troops to annihilate Yu Jue, but Yu Jue captured all the heavenly soldiers and generals and cheerfully sent them back to the Heavenly Court.
Unable to do anything about him, the Emperor had no choice but to issue a divine decree, informing all the gods that Yu Jue was a traitor to the divine realm and would never be allowed to enter the Heavenly Court again.
Yu Jue didn't take the divine decree seriously, but secretly burned 100,000 statues of the gods in the human world. He only burned the statues and did not destroy the temples. This was clearly a slap in the face to the gods, saying that the gods could not even protect themselves, so how could they protect the people?
This strange event alarmed believers on earth. That year, the people's faith wavered for the first time. The gods accumulated very little merit, while many unknown minor gods or ghosts unknowingly made a fortune from their merits, because their idols were still there.
The Emperor was unconvinced and, in a fit of anger, entered the dreams of many emperors and generals in an attempt to salvage the dignity of the Heavenly Court. In the dream, he encountered Yu Jue, and the two fought. Although the outcome was unknown, when the emperors woke up, they felt extremely tired, as if they had had a long dream but could not remember what they saw in it.
However, from then on, everyone knew that no one in the divine realm dared to provoke Yu Jue.
