Chapter 240: Confronting the Heavenly Monarch



The heavens cannot destroy the underworld.

The six paths check and balance each other, and no one can destroy anyone else.

The six realms will follow forever.

The Heavenly Lord frowned, his voice brimming with undeniable authority. "How dare you! Is this how the Hades indulges you? Do you think that just because you're half-demon, half-god, half-human, you can do whatever you want in the Six Realms? Even if you're unique in the Six Realms, you must not interfere in the affairs of my Heavenly Realm!"

Chu Chu, known for her cold and hard character, refused to back down at this moment. She loudly retorted, "No matter who I am, I will not sit idly by and watch you harm an innocent Dream God! If the Dream God is truly at fault, she would naturally be willing to accept punishment. But she has done nothing wrong in performing her duties, so you cannot punish her without cause! As a Heavenly Sovereign, you should be impartial and selfless, but now you are so biased. It's really disappointing!"

"How dare you! The Dream God led you to find your mother and almost broke the magic circle!"

A flicker of determination flashed in Chuchu's eyes. She clenched her fists and spoke in an unusually firm voice, "Lord of the Heavens, you keep saying you want to maintain peace in the six realms, yet you've taken such a cruel action against an innocent god. Today, not only will I intervene, I'll challenge you to a duel to see if these so-called Heavenly Rules are truly unshakable!"

After saying that, a red light emanated from Chuchu's body, and mist swirled around her. Her aura began to become sharp and dangerous.

Seeing this, Lu Chenguang was shocked and hurried forward to persuade him: "Chu Chu, calm down! The power of the Heavenly King is beyond your reach. Let's leave first and find another way."

However, Chuchu was no longer listening to any advice. She was determined to fight the Heavenly Monarch. Aura surged around her, forming a red barrier that separated her from the Heavenly Monarch.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Lord raised his eyebrows, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "It seems that the daughter of Hades is indeed worthy of her reputation. With such a strong strange aura, she is indeed a worthy opponent."

However, just as the two were about to fight, a deep and majestic voice suddenly rang out: "Tianjun, you are too much of a bully! Bullying the younger generation, aren't you afraid of losing face for the Heavenly Realm if it gets out?"

As the voice fell, a dark shadow flashed by like lightning and appeared in front of Chu Chu. It was the Pluto, wearing black armor, holding the Pluto Sword, staring at the Heavenly Monarch with a cold gaze.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Lord couldn't help but frown.

Hades looked at Chuchu, his eyes full of doting and concern: "Chuchu, why are you making such a fuss again? Are you hurt?"

Chu Chu shook her head, her tone a little weaker: "Father, I want to seek justice for the injustice of the heaven!"

The Pluto nodded and turned to the Lord of Heaven: "Lord of Heaven, why do you treat Chuchu and Mengshen like this? They have done nothing wrong, why should they be punished like this?"

The Heavenly Lord snorted coldly, "King of Hell, you've failed to educate your daughter properly, allowing her to run amok in the Six Realms. If I don't punish her today, won't she cause chaos in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Hades frowned. "Lord of the Heavens, you are mistaken. My daughter has never done anything against the will of Heaven. It would be far-fetched to take action against her just because of this."

The Heavenly Lord's expression darkened. "King of Hell, don't forget your position. You are the ruler of the Underworld. You should discipline your daughter properly and not let her cause trouble in the Six Realms."

The Hades sneered, "Lord of the Underworld, you seem to have forgotten one thing. Although Chuchu is your junior, she is also a princess of the Underworld. If you harm her, you will be an enemy of the Underworld. If that happens, I'm afraid a bloody storm will be set off among the six realms."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Monarch's heart tightened. He knew that what the Hades said was true. If a war were to break out with the Underworld over this matter, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, as the Lord of Heaven, how could he easily show weakness?

Just as the two were at a stalemate, Lu Chenguang suddenly spoke: "Lord of the Heavens, Lord of the Underworld, please listen to me."

The two looked at him at the same time. Lu Chenguang took a deep breath and said slowly, "Everything that happened today was caused by me. I am willing to take full responsibility. I only hope that the Heavenly Monarch can let Di Ji and Meng Shen go."

Tianjun raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What responsibility are you willing to take?"

Lu Chenguang said in a deep voice: "I am willing to accept any punishment as long as the Heavenly Monarch can let them go."

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in the Heavenly Monarch's eyes. He knew that Lu Chenguang was the Demon Monarch of the Demon Realm, and his power was unfathomable. If he really made an enemy of him, it would undoubtedly be a huge threat to the Heavenly Realm.

However, if today's matter is just let go, where will his dignity as the Lord of Heaven be?

Just as he was hesitating, Hades suddenly spoke: "Lord of the Heaven, let's end today's matter here. I believe that the Demon Lord will give you a satisfactory explanation. If you dare to embarrass Chuchu and the Dream God again, I, the Underworld, will never let it go!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Monarch felt a little unwilling, but he also knew that today's incident had already become a big enough commotion. If it continued, it would probably get out of control.

He took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Alright! Since Hades says so, I will not pursue today's matter any further. But if there is a next time, I will not let you off easily!"

After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand, and the heavenly soldiers and generals disappeared without a trace.

Meng Shen also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally escaped.

After calming his fear, the Dream God turned to Chu Chu, his eyes gleaming with admiration: "Princess Qingming, your bravery and determination today are exactly like the image in the legend. I admire you deeply!"

She turned to look at Lu Chenguang again. His purple eyes sparkled in the light, as if hiding endless depth and wisdom.

The Dream God smiled and said, "Master Demon, you are very different from the image in the legend."

Lu Chenguang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest, "Oh? What does the legendary Demon Lord look like?"

The Dream God smiled softly and said, "Legend has it that the Demon Lord is a ferocious and evil creature with an ugly appearance that strikes fear into the hearts of people. He is also cold and heartless, and has no human feelings."

Lu Chenguang waved his hand and said jokingly, "What you said is not wrong. However, in order to come to the heaven today, I have specially transformed myself."

After hearing this, the Dream God shook his head slightly and retorted, "That's not the case, Lord Demon. You are more reasonable than those high and mighty gods, and more understanding of human nature than those creatures who claim to be human."

The Hades remained standing, his face solemn as he spoke to his daughter, Chuchu, "Chuchu, what happened today was truly too dangerous. I'm warning you, this is the first and last time. If it happens again, you must follow me back to the underworld. You will bear the consequences at your own risk. Do you understand?"

Chu Chu lowered her eyelids when she heard this. She understood her father's worry and anger.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Lu Chenguang spoke up to relieve the situation. His voice was full of sincerity and assurance: "Lord Pluto, please rest assured. It is natural to miss your mother. Moreover, Chuchu is the Qingming Emperor's princess, and it is even more difficult to sever this blood relationship. I promise that I will always be by Chuchu's side, take good care of her, and ensure that this kind of thing will never happen again."

Chuchu looked at Lu Chenguang with her bright big eyes, and an inexplicable feeling arose in her heart.

But she didn't know what it was called.
