Chapter 1: God of Wealth Revolts against Heaven

Since Pangu created the world, yin and yang were separated, and all things were formed. The six realms of sentient beings are ranked in order. Among the beasts, the beast king rules over all beasts, the Hades in the underworld rules the underworld, and the human king teaches the people. The most honorable master in the three realms is none other than the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, the Mysterious Sky God. It is said that he had endured 1,750 calamities, each lasting 129,600 years, before he became the Great Dao of the Infinite and became the monarch of all gods. Since the Jade Emperor took charge of the heavenly court, he has been diligent in government affairs, with clear rewards and punishments, and all gods have been doing their duties, and the three realms are peaceful and harmonious. But recently, the Jade Emperor, who has always been quiet and easy-going, has a slightly worried look on his face and is unhappy. Among all the ministers, Taibai Jinxing is the one who is very good at understanding the emperor's heart. This morning, all the ministers in the Lingxiao Palace have dispersed, but the old man is still standing there. The Jade Emperor called him twice, but he didn't respond. The Jade Emperor lifted his clothes and stepped down from the dragon throne. Hey, this old man! He was standing there snoring with his tablet in his hand. The Jade Emperor laughed in anger, snatched the tablet from Taibai Jinxing, and hit the old man on the head, bringing the old immortal who had just been wandering in the sky back to his soul. He said, "You, old Taibaixing, you came to my Lingxiao Palace not to attend court, but to catch up on sleep, right? I think you are like those old men in the mortal world, too old, and have some dementia. You should go to the medical immortal to see you when you have time. If you are late, you may be too late!"

Upon hearing this, Taibai Jinxing immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Please forgive me, Jade Emperor. I have been too busy worrying about the affairs of the Heavenly Court recently, and I have been disrespectful in front of you. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "You old man, it turns out that you are not only getting older, but also getting thicker-skinned. Why don't you tell me why you are so troubled?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "Of course, this is the major issue that your majesty is worried about. As the saying goes, 'When the master is worried, the minister is humiliated; when the master is humiliated, the minister dies.' Whatever your majesty is worried about, this old minister is worried about that too."

"Oh, then tell me, what am I worried about?"

"Of course it's a major financial matter of the Heavenly Court!"

The Jade Emperor sighed upon hearing this, "It is true that an old minister needs to worry about the country! It is a pity that the mortals nowadays do not worship the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors, nor do they worship Wenqu and Wuqu. The stars in the Heavenly Palace are not worshipped. The gods are busy and toiling for the affairs of the sentient beings in the Three Realms every day, but the Heavenly Palace is now so poor that it can't even pay the salaries of the immortals! Since I have taken charge of the Three Realms, I have never been in such a predicament. That is why I am worried every day. How do you think we have fallen to this point?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "Speaking of this, it is really not your Majesty's fault. It is because the ancients respected the heavens and the earth, and also valued people's character and morality. At that time, the heavens and the earth enjoyed sacrifices all year round, and the people had good intentions and always respected the immortal officials, and the immortals also enjoyed it continuously. But now the mortals have long regarded us as feudal superstitions, and no longer believe in our existence, so naturally they will no longer offer sacrifices to us."

The Jade Emperor snorted in displeasure when he heard this and said, "How can the God of Wealth still enjoy the offerings and worship from the mortals? Isn't he a "feudal superstition"? I and other gods are not worthy of respect, but only the God of Wealth deserves the worship and admiration of all living beings? There are countless people in the mortal world offering sacrifices to the God of Wealth. The offerings that he receives in a month are equivalent to what all the gods in heaven receive in a year!"

Taibai Jinxing said, "Jade Emperor, calm down! How can those mortals have any respect for the God of Wealth? Some of them just worship him casually, believing that it is better to believe it than not. Although some people worship the God of Wealth at home and seem to be pious, they actually do not respect the God of Wealth. They just love money and are obsessed with it! Nowadays, the people in the mortal world do not believe in karma. As long as there is profit to be made, let alone asking them to worship the God of Wealth, they have done enough things that harm others and benefit themselves."

The Jade Emperor said, "But this is not a long-term solution! Maintaining the Heavenly Palace requires money. Without the offerings from the mortal world, it will be difficult to sustain! Do you have any good ideas, old minister?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "I think that the God of Wealth is the God of Wealth in Heaven. The proceeds from the sacrifices to the God of Wealth should belong to Heaven. How can the God of Wealth take it all? Now the God of Wealth is really rich enough to rival a country. I heard that the God of Wealth Mansion he built in Jinshan in the lower world is more magnificent than the Lingxiao Palace in Heaven! He enjoys a lot of incense from the lower world, and his practice is twice as effective with half the effort. The magic power of the gods in Heaven is much less than his. Such a powerful minister should be dealt with early. Otherwise, it will become a disaster!"

The Jade Emperor said, "What you said is very true, my dear old minister. I wonder if there is any good strategy you can use?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "Your Majesty can choose a day to hold a banquet in Yaochi and invite the God of Wealth to the banquet. Secretly ambush several powerful and trusted gods. At the banquet, Your Majesty only says that the God of Wealth has made great contributions and should be rewarded and promoted. Then give him an idle official position with no real power, which is a promotion in name only. If he obeys the order, then another suitable candidate will be arranged to serve as the God of Wealth, and the sacrifices of the God of Wealth will naturally be taken over by the Heavenly Court. If he refuses to accept the order, he will be charged with the crime of disobeying the order. Your Majesty can use the signal of smashing the cup and let the gods work together to capture him, which is also easy."

The Jade Emperor was delighted when he heard this: "Your arrangement is very appropriate, old minister. Let's act according to this plan."

With the permission of the Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing arranged all the details of the Yaochi Banquet, and then went down to the Jinshan God of Wealth's mansion to read out the imperial decree. The God of Wealth received the imperial decree, thanked the heaven, and wanted to invite Taibai to have tea. Taibai Jinxing excused himself that he had to go somewhere else to announce the imperial decree, so he gave up. After seeing Taibai Jinxing off, the God of Wealth returned to his mansion happily and ordered people to prepare gifts to present to the Jade Emperor tomorrow. Suddenly, the little god of accounting appeared beside him and said, "Master, there may be something fishy about this banquet!"

The God of Wealth asked, "What's the matter?"

The little god said, "The Jade Emperor only holds banquets twice a year. One is the Peach Banquet for the Queen Mother's birthday, and the other is the Dan Yuan Banquet to commemorate the day of his accession to the throne. This banquet is neither the Peach Banquet nor the Dan Yuan Banquet. Why is there an extra banquet this year for no reason?"

The God of Wealth said, "Taibai Jinxing just said that this is not a big meeting. It is just a small meeting. The Buddha of the West Heaven and others were not invited. It is just a small gathering of the gods who have duties in the heaven."

The accountant said, "There have never been any small gatherings in previous years."

The God of Wealth said, "I think the Jade Emperor has nothing to do, so he held a banquet to have fun with the gods."

The accountant said, "Recently, the gods have been lacking in offerings and sacrifices, and the Heavenly Palace has been unable to make ends meet. I wonder how worried the Jade Emperor is about this. How can he have the leisure to drink and have fun with the gods? Since ancient times, the banquets held by the emperors were mostly bad banquets. I am afraid...
The God of Wealth was shocked when he heard this and said, "I have always been careful and prudent in my actions and have never violated the laws of heaven. It is my duty to manage the wealth of the world. Your Majesty, why would you punish me?"

The little god in charge of accounts said, "Master, you have been the God of Wealth for so long, how can you still be so confused? In the face of interests, where does the relationship between monarch and minister come from? If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. With what you have now, who wouldn't be envious? How many people have tried their best to please you? And how many people want to get rid of you as soon as possible. Since ancient times, once a minister is above the monarch, he will definitely invite disaster. This is your current situation!"

The God of Wealth asked, "If it is really as you said, what can we do?"

The little god said, "You still have to go to the banquet. The Jade Emperor personally invited you to the banquet. If you don't go, you will be accused of disrespecting the Jade Emperor. Just bring more magic weapons with you, and arrange a few powerful servants to guard outside the Heavenly Gate. It would be best if the Jade Emperor still cares about the relationship between the monarch and his subjects and does not resort to war. If anything changes, you just need to break out of the Heavenly Gate and someone will naturally pick you up."

The God of Wealth said, "That's the only way. But even if we break through the gate of heaven and escape to the lower world, what should we do next? How can the Jade Emperor let it go?"

The accountant god said, "If it really comes to that, it is better to give it a try than to be killed. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope. As the saying goes, "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." You are worshipped by the people more than any other god, which shows that the people support you! The throne of the Emperor of Heaven is occupied by the Jade Emperor, so why can't you? The imperial power has ruled the Three Realms for too long, and you are in charge of the wealth of the world. If the imperial power can rule the Three Realms, why can't wealth? And don't you want to be the supreme ruler of the Three Realms? As the saying goes, one must be reborn after being put to death, and this is exactly the truth."

Upon hearing this, the God of Wealth slammed the table and stood up, saying, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I want to see what the Jade Emperor has in mind!"

The next day, the God of Wealth brought a group of servants, hid several magic weapons on his body, rode his mount, entered the South Heaven Gate, and headed straight for Yaochi. When he arrived at Yaochi, the Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing, Li Jing, Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, Marshal Tianpeng and other gods had already been waiting at the banquet. Seeing this, the God of Wealth thought to himself: "Sure enough, what the little god who is in charge of accounting said was right. In the past, the Jade Emperor was the last to arrive at the banquet, but what happened today? He and all the gods have arrived, but he is the only one waiting for me. I am afraid it is definitely the "Hongmen Banquet". "The God of Wealth thought in his heart, but his steps were not hurried. He came to the front of the hall and greeted the Jade Emperor calmly and said: "Your humble servant has been summoned to the banquet."

The Jade Emperor said, "My dear minister, please don't be polite. Please take a seat quickly!"

The God of Wealth walked to his seat and sat down. Immediately, a goddess came to serve him and pour wine. According to the etiquette of the heavenly court, each god has a goddess to serve him. And the first cup of wine must be toasted by all the gods to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor was served by a royal waiter. This waiter was not simple, but a strong man. Usually, the Jade Emperor was always by his side. He was the Jade Emperor's personal guard, and was given a magic staff to subdue demons by the emperor, and was called the General of the Curtain. At this time, all the gods slowly picked up the wine glasses. Seeing this, the General of the Curtain picked up the glass cup and poured wine for the Jade Emperor. But the general slipped and smashed the glass cup to the ground. There was a crisp sound. The gods who were lying in ambush at the banquet heard the sound. They didn't know that it was the General of the Curtain who broke it by mistake. They thought it was the Jade Emperor's order. They were brave and took up their weapons and went straight to the God of Wealth.

The God of Wealth was so frightened when he saw this that his face turned pale. He thought to himself, "Is the Jade Emperor really so anxious to kill me? He doesn't even bother to accuse me of any crime!" He quickly took out the self-defense treasure from his arms. What do you think the treasure is? It turned out to be countless mortal incense money collected from the merit boxes of the God of Wealth temples in the mortal world. He used his magic power to enlighten and integrate it together, so it was called "a stack of banknotes". It is a source of treasure, from which countless money can flow.

The God of Wealth threw the treasure into the air, and immediately a fragrant wind blew up, and the ground was covered with gold and silver. The fragrant wind wrapped in the treasure banknotes whistled in, and the tables, chairs, the throne of the Jade Emperor, the beard of Taibai Jinxing, and the bellyband of Nezha the Third Prince were all covered with the treasure banknotes. The wind blew until the gods were dazzled and had difficulty walking. They were dazzled and could see nothing but the treasure banknotes. They had difficulty walking and their feet were deeply sank into the golden sand. The general who rolled up the curtain was so panicked that he quickly held the treasure staff and protected the Jade Emperor. The God of Wealth took advantage of this opportunity, transformed himself into a copper coin, and fled out of Yaochi with a gust of wind and escaped to the outside of the South Heaven Gate.

After a long while at the Yaochi Banquet, the fragrant wind gradually died down, and the gods finally came back to their senses. The Jade Emperor shouted, "Where is the God of Wealth? He's gone!" The Heavenly King Li stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the strong wind just now was carrying money and bills. It was so strong that we couldn't open our eyes, and that guy took the opportunity to escape."

Taibai Jinxing came to the Jade Emperor's ear and said, "Alas, Your Majesty is too impatient. Why didn't you use my old minister's strategy of demoting him but just smashed the cup?"

The Jade Emperor pointed at the Curtain-Pulling General and said angrily, "I never threw the cup! Before I could even open my mouth, this fellow broke the glass cup and delayed my important task! Come, take this fellow out of the South Heaven Gate and execute him!"

When the general heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Seeing this, the barefoot immortal advised: "Your Majesty, although Juanlian is guilty, please consider that it was an unintentional mistake and that he just protected Your Majesty in the storm out of loyalty, so give him a lighter punishment." Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor ordered his men to banish the general to the mortal world of the Quicksand River, where he would be pierced through the heart by a flying sword every seven days.

The Jade Emperor looked at the mess on the ground and asked Taibai Jinxing: "We failed to catch him this time, and he got away with a gust of wind! What should we do?" Taibai Jinxing said: "It is useless to say more now. This time the crime has been committed. Send the heavenly soldiers and generals to the lower world to catch this thief and don't give him a chance to catch his breath."

The Jade Emperor immediately called the Clairvoyance and the Wind-hearing Hearing to see where the God of Wealth had fled to. It turned out that the God of Wealth had been escorted back to Jinshan Mansion by several servants after he left the South Heaven Gate. The Jade Emperor immediately ordered Li Tianwang to lead Nezha, the Giant Spirit, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Marshal Tianpeng to the lower world to capture him.

The God of Wealth escaped and returned to his mansion, still in shock. The accountant quickly brought tea to calm his master. The God of Wealth drank a sip of tea and sighed, "That tyrant was determined to kill me this time. As soon as I arrived at the banquet, he started fighting without giving me any time to discuss. Thanks to your reminder, I was prepared, otherwise I would have been dead by now!"

The accountant god said, "Master, you need to prepare early. The Jade Emperor will not let you down. I'm afraid that the heavenly soldiers will come to attack you soon!"

The God of Wealth snorted coldly, "Now that things have come to this, we can only learn from the monkey who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace!" Before he finished speaking, he heard someone outside the door reporting, "Master, it's bad! A group of heavenly soldiers and generals have surrounded our Jinshan Palace! There is a Marshal Tianpeng who claims to be the commander of 100,000 naval forces in the Milky Way, and he is outside calling you to answer him!" The God of Wealth said, "This is too much! Today, I will let these guys who think they have great magical powers see what I can do!"

The God of Wealth led a group of servants out of the house and saw a dark mass of flags flying in the sky. It was indeed a formation of 100,000 heavenly soldiers. When Marshal Tianpeng saw the God of Wealth coming out, he pressed down the clouds and said, "Brother God of Wealth, the Jade Emperor sent the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and the heavenly generals to the mortal world to invite you back. The Jade Emperor said that as long as you give up the position of God of Wealth, you can choose any other official position in the heavenly world. We will not use weapons and will not violate the loyalty of the monarch and his subjects. Isn't it wonderful?"

The God of Wealth said, "Humph! Do you think I will still believe the words of that tyrant king? What crime have I committed that made you and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers come to arrest me? If I hadn't had some tricks up my sleeve at the banquet just now, I'm afraid I would have been dead by now. How can such a tyrant and cruel king be qualified to rule the three realms? If you still care about your colleagues, go back quickly and I won't hurt you. Go back and tell that tyrant king that I will no longer be under his control."

Tian Peng heard this and said coldly, "The king's order cannot be disobeyed. If so, don't blame me for disregarding the feelings of my colleagues!" Before he finished speaking, he had already produced a nine-toothed rake in his hand. When the rake was used, silver light shone brightly, instantly causing thunder to roll in the sky. As lightning and thunder roared, a large hole suddenly appeared in the sky above the nine heavens, and the water of the Milky Way poured down like a broken dam. The momentum was so great that the entire earth was shaking continuously. All the beasts in the forest were frightened away, and all the ghosts in the underworld cried. Tian Peng waved the rake, sweeping the surging water, and went to the God of Wealth. Seeing this, the God of Wealth hurriedly offered the cornucopia and threw it into the air, blocking the hole in the sky, causing the thunder and lightning to hit the cornucopia. The treasure bowl was hit thousands of times in an instant, but it still shone brightly without any damage. The lightning and water from the Milky Way were all collected. When he looked again, the sky was already clear. The canopy lost its power and its prestige was gone. It could only use its strength to swing its nail rake and rush at the God of Wealth, but it didn't hit him at all. Instead, the God of Wealth stabbed his arm with a copper coin sword and fled back in defeat. The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li saw it clearly from above, and shouted to the God of Wealth from the clouds, "Don't bully others with your magic weapon. I will compete with you in person!" Then a pagoda appeared in his palm and he asked, "Do you recognize my treasure?"

The God of Wealth said, "I recognize it, I recognize it. This is the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda of the Thirty-three Heavens Golden Relics!"

The Heavenly King said: "Since you recognize me, why don't you surrender quickly to avoid suffering!"

The God of Wealth laughed and said, "You are called the Heavenly King for nothing, but your knowledge is not as good as that of a country bumpkin. How dare you call something like yours a treasure?"

The Heavenly King said, "You don't know the power of my pagoda yet! This pagoda has subdued countless demons and monsters, and suppressed countless evil spirits. No matter how powerful you are, you can't defeat the Samadhi True Fire in this pagoda."

The God of Wealth laughed and said, "Do you think I don't know? You usually use this thing to protect your son! You can only take it out to scare your own child when he is naughty. How come the teacher treats the ruler as a treasure!"

The king was furious when he heard this and said, "Don't bother with your words. Use whatever tricks you have!"

The God of Wealth said, "You only boast about your own tower, but you haven't even seen your grandfather God of Wealth's tower!"

The king said, "I have never heard that you also have a tower."

The God of Wealth said, "Yes, yes, yes. I just don't use it very often. It's a real treasure!"

The king of heaven said, "Hmph, no matter what treasure you have, it cannot compare to this tower of mine. Take it out and let me see it."

The God of Wealth turned his palm over, and a short triangular tower with only the top of the tower appeared in his palm. He said to the God of Wealth, "Take a look at my tower, what do you think?"

The Heavenly King laughed loudly and said, "I don't know where you got this grave from, and you are holding it in your hand! Can something like this be called a pagoda?"

The God of Wealth said, "You don't know! In the past, I traveled around the world and came to the Northern Continent to enjoy the exotic scenery. This is the tower built by the sentient beings there, which is naturally very different from the things in my Southern Continent. Don't look at this tower as small, but it is the result of the efforts and financial resources of all sentient beings in the world, and it has been tempered with Samadhi gold. Therefore, it is called the "Golden Tower". This tower can be big or small according to your heart. When it is big, it can be as heavy as Mount Tai, and when it is small, it can be played with in the palm of your hand. There are seven levels in the tower, and the world. No matter what kind of Daluo Jinxian you are, once you enter my tower, you are like a bird in a cage, at my mercy." After speaking, he threw the golden tower to the Heavenly King. Seeing this, the Heavenly King also threw the pagoda in his hand. The two treasures collided with each other, and the golden tower actually broke the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower into two pieces. Seeing this, Li Tianwang cried out in pain, "My pagoda!"

The God of Wealth saw this and laughed loudly, saying, "Your tower is only worthy of being used as a base for my tower!" Then he used his magic power to turn the golden tower from one into three, each as big as Mount Tai, and pressed down on the heavenly soldiers and generals. No one could stop them and they all fled in all directions. It was a pity that half of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers were suppressed. The other half fled back to heaven in panic and reported to the Jade Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I don't know what magic weapon the God of Wealth used to break the pagoda of Li Tianwang. At first there was only one, but now there are two more. It has become like three mountains, pressing all the heavenly soldiers under the mountains!"

The Jade Emperor was shocked when he heard this and said, "What kind of treasure is this? How can it be so powerful? It defeated my 100,000 heavenly soldiers. Now I can't capture him, and I've lost many soldiers. What should I do?" Just as he was worried, the four great heavenly masters came and said, "The Great Taoist Patriarch is here!" The Jade Emperor immediately stood up to greet him. Laojun greeted him and said, "Although the gods in the heavens have become immortals, most of them still have selfish desires and have not reached the state of unity between heaven and man. Therefore, they cannot defeat the magic weapon of the God of Wealth. Your Majesty, don't worry. I will recommend two people to capture the God of Wealth!"

The Jade Emperor asked, "Who are you referring to?" Laojun said, "They are two great gods from ancient times, Gonggong and Shennong. Gonggong once hit Mount Buzhou in anger because he opposed Shaohao's tyranny. Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs for the people to save them from suffering. These two are great gods who care about the world and have the power to subdue the God of Wealth." The Jade Emperor said, "These two are mysterious characters. Where can we find them?"

Laojun said, "Gonggong and Shennong often play chess together in Buzhou Mountain. We only need to send someone who is eloquent and good at speaking to them, to persuade them with reason and emotion, and we will be able to invite the two seniors to come out of the mountain to help." Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor immediately ordered Taibai Jinxing to go to Buzhou Mountain to invite Gonggong and Shennong to come out of the mountain.

Taibai Jinxing received the imperial edict and did not dare to delay for a moment. He hurriedly flew to the top of Buzhou Mountain to look for the two gods. However, he heard a loud roar from not far away: "Who are you, little fairy, and how dare you trespass into Buzhou Mountain!" Taibai Jinxing hurriedly explained: "I am Taibai Jinxing. I have followed the Jade Emperor's order and come here to ask Gonggong and Shennong to come out of the mountain."

The voice said, "Since there is a decree from the Jade Emperor, come down and talk." Taibai Jinxing heard the words and lowered his head from the clouds. He looked forward and saw a cave. When he walked into the cave, it was dark at first and he couldn't tell the direction. After a few more steps, it suddenly became clear. The flowers, trees, birds and animals were no different from those outside. It was like a world in the cave. There was a stone table in the center, and two old men were sitting next to it, looking at the chess game on the stone table and thinking. Taibai Jinxing walked forward, but didn't dare to disturb them, so he watched the game silently. The two men ignored him and continued to play. They played back and forth, and I don't know how many games they played, but they were not tired at all. At this time, I don't know how many days have passed.

Taibai Jinxing couldn't wait any longer and said, "Two great gods! I am here at the order of the Jade Emperor to ask you two great gods to come out and help. The Heaven is in danger, please follow me quickly!" The white-bearded old man in straw sandals ignored Taibai and continued to stare at the chessboard. The black-faced old man in a turban said angrily, "Who promised to go with you? What does the safety of the Heaven have to do with me?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "What are you talking about, Great God? Although you are free and unrestrained and do not receive salary from Heaven, the Jade Emperor governs the three realms of sentient beings, and Heaven is like a common country for all the sentient beings in the three realms. As the saying goes, "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country." We, the people, should all contribute to the country!"

The old man smiled and said, "Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of a country. In this case, I will test you. If you can answer to my satisfaction, I will go with you."

Taibai Jinxing said, "It's a deal." The old man asked, "You just said that the heaven is like the country of all living beings. Then I would like to ask you, what is a country?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "The whole world belongs to the king. Every blade of grass and every tree, every mountain and lake, and every living thing in the three realms, all of these together make up the country."

The old man said, "You said that following you to subdue the God of Wealth is doing your best for the country. I wonder if it is saving all living things or benefiting every blade of grass and every tree?"

This...Taibai Jinxing hesitated and couldn't speak.

The old man snorted coldly, "If it is really beneficial to the sentient beings of the Three Realms, I am naturally willing to help. Now you want me to intervene in your selfish fight for profit. No matter what the final outcome of the God of Wealth and the Jade Emperor is, the sentient beings of the Three Realms will still live the same as before. As gods, you always talk about the Three Realms and sentient beings. But you don't think about benefiting sentient beings, but only seek personal gain. I don't want to be with you, you should go back."

Taibai Jinxing said hurriedly: "Great God, calm down! The Jade Emperor has actually long wanted to use the offerings from the lower world to the God of Wealth for the benefit of all living beings, but the God of Wealth is domineering and refuses to give up power. If the Great Immortal is willing to subdue the God of Wealth this time, how can the Jade Emperor not think about the suffering of the people? The offerings from the lower world to the God of Wealth will be used to benefit all living beings in the three realms. Take from all living beings and use for all living beings, there will never be a "God of Wealth" who enslaves all living beings again!"

The black-faced old man heard this and said, "If that's the case, we can go there."

Taibai Jinxing said: "Whether it is the Three Realms or the country, I know that these are just nouns to the two great gods. What you really love are the people living here. If these people are happy, you are happy. The suffering of these people is your suffering. The two great gods have the love of the world in their hearts, which really makes me admire you!"

Seeing this, the old man with a long beard laughed and scolded, "You'd better stop flattering us. You've already wasted quite some time here. Leave as soon as possible."

The two gods rode on clouds and followed the Taibai Jinxing to Jinshan Mansion. Gonggong was impatient and shouted with a hammer in his hand: "Junior immortal, Gonggong and Shennong are here, come out and surrender quickly, and I will spare your life!"

The servant of Jinshan Mansion was so panicked that he hurriedly reported to the God of Wealth, "Master, it's bad. Two more people are outside challenging us."

The God of Wealth said, "Don't panic. Look at what those two people look like and what weapons they have."

The servant said, "One is an old man with a white beard, wearing a pair of straw sandals and holding a sickle. He looks like an old farmer harvesting land. The other is an old man with a black face, wearing a turban and holding an iron hammer. He looks like a blacksmith."

The God of Wealth laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "The Jade Emperor has no one left under his command! He sent these two old men to die. I don't care if they are workers or farmers, I will capture them and bring them back."

The God of Wealth, holding a pyramid in his hand, came to the front of the formation and shouted, "Whoever is challenging us, use all your skills!"

Gonggong and Shennong smiled at each other. Gonggong said, "I'll let you, the youngster, strike first, so that others won't accuse us of bullying the weak. It would be dishonorable even if we win."

The God of Wealth said, "Okay, okay, okay! Then don't blame me for taking the lead." After saying that, he threw the pyramid in his hand to the two gods. Gonggong threw his hammer and Shennong threw his sickle, which collided with the pyramid. There was a loud bang, and the pyramid was smashed to pieces. The God of Wealth was shocked and turned around to escape. However, he was blocked by Marshal Tianpeng and Nezha the Third Prince. The God of Wealth also offered the copper coin sword and the cornucopia, but they were all smashed by Gonggong and Shennong.

The God of Wealth was surprised and asked, "What magic weapon do you have that can break my Samadhi Gold?"

Gong Gong said: "You are ignorant, young man. What kind of treasures in this world are not forged from this broken iron hammer of mine?"

The God of Wealth lost his treasure and was captured alive by Tianpeng and Nezha after a few rounds of fighting. They were taken back to Heaven to be sentenced by the Jade Emperor.
