"Great Emperor Hongqing, you sacrifice personal interests for the public good and devote all your loyalty and wisdom to the Heavenly Court. How should I reward you?" The Jade Emperor said to Fang Jian.
But before Fang Jian could answer, the Jade Emperor smiled and said, "However, with your current status, there is nothing more you can be given besides the title of 'Sixth Imperial Lord'."
Fang Jian quickly said, "Great Celestial Lord, I am not yet qualified to be conferred the title of Sixth Celestial Emperor."
The Jade Emperor also understood this point. The Sixth Emperor of Heaven was not someone who could be given the title casually. The Lady of the Nine Heavens was able to be given the title of the Fifth Emperor because she had already completed her merits and virtues, and it was natural for her to be given the title of the Fifth Emperor.
But even though Fang Jian has made tremendous contributions, his merits are not yet complete and he is not yet qualified to be named the Sixth Emperor. Fang Jian is aware of this.
"Then let's record this achievement and reward you together in the future." The Jade Emperor said with a smile.
Then he waved his sleeves and put the five Daluo Golden Pills into his sleeves, and then said to Fang Jian: "Great Emperor Hongqing, you have helped me a lot this time."
As he spoke, the Jade Emperor stood up and bowed to Fang Jian. Fang Jian quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Great Heavenly Lord, why are you so polite? How dare I accept your courtesy?"
The Jade Emperor laughed heartily and said with a sigh, "I have just ascended to the throne. I really don't have anything that can match the five Daluo Golden Pills to give to you, Great Emperor Hongqing. I can only perform this gift of authority to repay you, Great Emperor Hongqing."
"Great Heavenly Venerable, you have condescended to offer your respects to me. I cannot accept your offer. Great Heavenly Venerable, you must be so humble." Fang Jian said with deep emotion. He heard the self-mockery and embarrassment in the tone of the Jade Emperor. Although he is the Supreme of the Three Realms now, except Fang Jian, he does not have any confidants of the emperor level in the heaven. His power has been largely hollowed out by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman and the emperors, not to mention any divine treasure comparable to the Daluo Golden Elixir.
This is exactly what happened: after ascending the throne for several decades, he was nominally supreme but lacked real power. He had no way to appease his loyal ministers, so he humbled himself by observing proper etiquette and showing even greater humility.
