Dongsheng Shenzhou, Dayong Kingdom.
"This is really weird." Nezha sat on the clouds, looking at the Three Altars and Sea Assembly Great Temple below and muttering, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
He couldn't help but feel melancholy, because the Three Altars and Sea Assembly Great God Temple below was now in a very dilapidated state, and even the persimmon tree in front of the door had become withered and dead.
As I was watching, I saw the left side of the temple wall collapse with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.
"Why has it become so dilapidated after just these few years?" said the giant spirit behind Nezha.
Nezha held his face with his hands and said miserably, "How should I know? But my incense in this temple is completely gone."
The giant spirit chuckled and said, "Fortunately, I don't have any temples in the human world, so I don't have to worry about that."
"Hmph!" Suddenly, Nezha stood up angrily, staring down with his fists clenched.
Seeing this, the Giant Spirit quickly stood up and pulled Nezha, saying, "Don't be impulsive. It's common for incense to change in the mortal world. If you disturb the mortal world because of this, the Great Lord will not forgive us."
"I know!" Nezha shook off the giant spirit's hand and said, "I came here to settle the cause and effect with the True Yang Dao League, but ended up encountering something like this. Who can be happy?"
"The main reason is that the cause and effect of the Zhenyang Taoist Alliance has not been calculated." The giant spirit said frankly.
Nezha's face darkened. He really had no temper towards the Zhenyang Taoist Alliance. Although it was a "Taoist Alliance", it was very united internally, especially the leader and two deputy leaders, all of whom were Taiyi Golden Immortals, and their level of cultivation was comparable to Nezha.
Although I don’t know the fighting ability of those three people, but since they can form such a large Taoist alliance in Dongsheng Shenzhou, their fighting ability must be very high.
At the beginning, Fang Jian had a little conflict with the Zhenyang Taoist Alliance because of the matter of the Wuxiang Demon, so the Karma Department naturally knew about it at the first time.
Thinking that there was going to be a fight, Nezha immediately took the giant spirit god to calculate the cause and effect. However, the Zhenyang Taoist Alliance would not tolerate softness or hardness.
Nezha's previous methods of provoking trouble were completely ineffective in the Zhenyang Taoist Alliance. In the words of the Giant Spirit, those people were like obsessed maniacs. Every day, apart from listening to the sermons of the three alliance leaders, they would go down the mountain to preach. They would simply ignore you if you provoked trouble.
So Nezha, who had been struggling in the Zhenyang Taoist League for a while, felt quite bored and left the Zhenyang Taoist League with the Giant Spirit God. But not long after he left, he discovered the abandoned and dilapidated Three Altars Sea Assembly Great God Temple below.
"Let's go and have a look at other temples. Humph, I'm happy today, so I'll go to other temples to send blessings." Nezha raised his head and said, then he went to wander around somewhere else with the giant spirit.
Five days later, when Nezha appeared again in front of a dilapidated temple of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, he suddenly became angry.
The giant spirit behind him was also puzzled, because he and Nezha had traveled all over the country of Dayong in the past few days and found that all the temples of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly in the country were in ruins and no one came to worship.
"What's going on? Is it that my Wind-Fire Wheel can't turn? Or is it that the thread of my Hun Tian Ling is loose?" Nezha roared, and the temple wall in front of him collapsed in an instant.
The giant spirit was also very surprised. This was the first time he had seen such a situation, so he said, "Why not ask the local god to come out and ask?"
Nezha nodded with a gloomy face, then raised his hand and made a magic gesture. A puff of smoke rose from the ground in front of him, and then a short and fat old man wearing the robe of a ninth-grade immortal official appeared in front of Nezha.
This was the local land god. After appearing, he first glanced outside. When he saw Nezha and the Giant Spirit God standing before him, his face changed. He hurried over and saluted, saying, "This little god greets Nezha, the Third Prince, and the Giant Spirit God."
Nezha said gloomily, "Land God, I ask you, why is my temple like this? And it's not just this one, the entire Great Yong Kingdom is like this! Don't I, Nezha, have any respect for myself?"
Upon hearing this, the land god immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Third Prince, calm down! Third Prince, calm down! Actually, there is a reason for this."
"Oh?" Nezha looked at the land god and said, "What's the reason? If you can't explain your innocence today, I will hang you up with the Chaos Heaven Ribbon."
The land god was startled and said quickly, "Forgive me, Third Prince, please allow me to explain. In fact, this Great Yong Kingdom is not only your temple. Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, or the Heavenly Court, except for our land god, mountain god, city god, kitchen god, etc., the temples of the other great gods are the same. There are no incense offerings long ago."
"Is that so?" When Nezha heard what the land god said, he suddenly became serious, but his anger was not so great.
The land god said, "If the Third Prince doesn't believe me, you can go to Dayong State and take a look around, and you will know that what I said is true."
Nezha looked back at the Giant Spirit, then said to the Earth God, "Okay, you go back first. I'll have something to ask you after I've taken a look."
"Yes, yes, yes." The land god bowed and said, "Please do as you please, Third Prince. When the time comes, you only need to use the spell to summon me."
Then Nezha and the giant spirit stepped on the clouds and flew into the sky again, turning into two golden lights and flying away.
A day later, Nezha and the giant spirit returned to their original place.
At this moment, the anger on Nezha's face had long since disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
Just as the land god said, all the temples dedicated to immortals and gods in the entire Dayong country have fallen into disrepair and have lost their worship.
Each prefecture and county has only one temple that is very popular, but it is not dedicated to the gods in heaven, nor to Buddhism, but to Taoism, and is called the "Three Ancestors Temple".
Nezha and the Giant Spirit investigated carefully, but they still had no idea who this 'Third Ancestor' was, nor was he any of the gods they were familiar with.
