Chapter 748: Doing nothing is also a good way to defeat the enemy

The current situation is really a dilemma. The Jade Emperor can't think of a solution that will satisfy both sides even after thinking hard.

Without the incense and offerings from the mortals of Jambu Continent, the power of the gods in heaven was greatly weakened. They were defeated even in their prime, and their combat power was even weaker after being weakened. They were unable to destroy the base established by the demon mosquitoes on Mount Tai and drive them back to the earth.

To release the human race and resume offerings, we must first ensure that they will not be exterminated by the evil mosquitoes, and secondly, we must find them a place to settle down.

The gate between the two worlds of Mount Tai has been occupied by the devil mosquitoes, and there is no defense in the mortal world. Settling the human race there at this time is simply feeding food to the devil mosquitoes and luring them to start a hunting feast.

The Jade Emperor received reports from the two Heavenly Lords, Qianliyan and Shunfenger, about Wen Rui's strange behavior of draining all the water from the five lakes and four seas, and he immediately sent an envoy to hold Wen Rui accountable.

Wen Rui gave a barely tenable reason: to prevent the demons from polluting the water source and turning the water from all lakes and seas into a sea of ​​blood.

At that time, the war was imminent. After weighing the pros and cons, the Jade Emperor chose to wait and see, allowing Wenrui to do whatever he wanted.

After all, Wen Rui's reason is reasonable. What if, at the critical moment when the gods are blocking the magic mosquitoes, the Blood Sea Ancestor uses evil magic to dye the rivers and lakes around Mount Tai into a sea of ​​blood and launch the Blood River Formation, it will be very unfavorable to the battle situation.

With the idea of ​​"It's just that there is no water to drink, the overall situation is more important, let all living beings suffer, and the bad reputation will bring bad luck", the Jade Emperor chose to wait and see what happens.

But this does not mean that he thinks Wen Rui did the right thing. The Jade Emperor had already made plans. Once the gods and Buddhas have defeated the demons and peace has returned to the mortal world, he will settle accounts with Wen Rui for the sin of causing the severe drought in the mortal world and put all the evil retribution for the unfortunate deaths of all living beings in the drought on his head.

When the time comes, an imperial edict will be issued to punish Wen Rui, and he will be banished to the North Sea to watch the sea eye, where he will spend eternity counting the ebb and flow of the tides.

However, to the Jade Emperor's surprise, when the gods and Buddhas were defeated, Wen Rui's absurd act of draining the water from all lakes and seas in advance to cause a severe drought in the world turned out to be the most crucial measure to defend the mortal world.

If he had not planned ahead and made preparations early, the mortal world would now be a sea of ​​blood, and the demon mosquitoes would not have hid in their den, but would have begun to stir and prepare to invade the heaven.

Before the war, the Jade Emperor had never thought that he would lose. This was not the first time he made the same mistake. When 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded Yang Jian, he never thought that Yang Jian could break through the siege and kill his way to the Lingxiao Palace.

Making this mistake does not mean that he will not make it again in the future. Later, Sun Wukong with a group of monkeys and Chenxiang alone also gave the Jade Emperor a big surprise.

Just like a dog will always eat shit, the Jade Emperor could not change his bad habit of underestimating his opponents and was always slapped in the face by people who rushed into the Lingxiao Palace.

Wen Rui secretly took away millions of people in the Southern Continent and cut off the incense and offerings to the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor wanted to punish him severely but he couldn't think of a reasonable excuse.

Instead, he was questioned to the point where he was speechless, and he was filled with anger but had no way to vent it.

"The mortal world is vast, and the demon mosquitoes are trapped within a hundred miles of Mount Tai due to drought. You can find a remote place tens of thousands of miles away from Mount Tai, release a small amount of water there, and create an oasis in the wilderness for humans to take refuge, rest, and worship the gods."

After thinking for a long time, the Jade Emperor realized that all these years of leadership were not in vain, and he finally came up with a strategy.

Wen Rui chuckled and threw out two projection hovering drones, which projected images in the Lingxiao Palace.

"Your Majesty, that's a good idea, but don't think about it anymore. Please watch the VCR."

The screen was dark at first, and then there were projections of the outlines of the sonic radar scanning the strata. Among the gods, those who understood geography gradually realized that the screen was an underground detection screen. Although the sonic radar screen only showed the outline, it was clear what was being detected, which was the underground ground veins near Mount Tai.

The magical power of clairvoyance does not have the ability to see through things. It only saw the scene of the evil mosquitoes hiding on the surface of Mount Tai, but did not see that deep in the earth, the swarms of insects were secretly moving and quietly digging underground rivers.

From the surface, it seems that the swarm of insects is shrinking and trapped within a hundred miles of Mount Tai, but the underground river beneath the strata has been dug out for thousands of miles. There are more than one similar river channels, and they are densely packed and extend like a spider web.

In just a few days, the radiation range that the magic mosquito can reach through the underground blood river network has already exceeded a thousand miles.

"Obviously, our opponents are not human-machines. When they encounter difficulties, they will also think of countermeasures to solve them. Their efficiency is many times higher than ours."

Wen Rui shrugged and said, "If your majesty agrees, even if we set up a safe zone at the ends of the earth, sooner or later the demon mosquitoes will follow the smell and come from underground."

The Jade Emperor's face was blue and red. He had thought that Qian Gang was decisive and wise, and had come up with a brilliant plan, but he was ridiculed in public again. He felt really embarrassed.

"If Your Majesty does not care about the lives of ordinary people, then just issue an order and force me to do it."

Wen Rui looked calm and said with a smile: "Let's bet on whether the gods will recover their power first, or the mortals will be discovered and killed by the devil mosquitoes first. But I must remind Your Majesty that if you do this, it will be the last gamble. Once the mortals are extinct, we can only ask the saints to recreate the earth, fire, water and wind and recreate humans."

"Whoever makes such a decision will bear the fate of destroying the world and recreating it. I can go to Master Tongtian's Biyou Palace to seek shelter and survive until the next reincarnation in the world before escaping. Your Majesty, you cannot escape the fate."

The Jade Emperor's body shook, and he no longer had the majestic demeanor of the Emperor of Heaven. He seemed to have suffered the five signs of aging prematurely, and a feeling of loss, helplessness, and dejection suddenly arose in him.

He looked just like the Fourth Master when he was forced to abdicate by the Eighth Prince, almost vomiting blood.

Wen Rui did not sympathize with him at all. There was no peace in the mortal world. Monsters and natural disasters abounded in the four continents. This old man had nothing to do but feed chickens, raise dogs, burn padlocks, listen to fairy music, and watch Chang'e dance. He was so leisurely.

Are you worried now?

What he was worried about was not the suffering of all living beings, but that he himself would not be able to survive this catastrophe!

Even the Tathagata Buddha cannot save him now.
After calming down, the Jade Emperor stroked his forehead and said, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Emperor Wen, tell me how to solve this dilemma. We can't just sit there and wait for the demons to retreat back to the earth, right?"

"Hey, your majesty, that's a good idea!"

Wen Rui took advantage of the situation and clapped his hands, saying, "Now we can only wait and see. Even if we don't have incense and offerings, we can hide away from the world, turn on power saving mode, and wait for a long time. It's just that we can't have a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days like before, and be as happy as gods. Oh, no, we are gods."

"What do you mean by a big banquet every three days and a small banquet every five days? It's as if I'm more arrogant and extravagant than King Zhou!"

The Jade Emperor couldn't suppress his anger and was provoked by Wen Rui's sarcastic words.
