Chapter 798 The Jade Emperor’s Dilemma

Taibai Jinxing was sweating profusely. Normally, as an immortal, his body was already flawless and he should not have been sweating to regulate his body temperature and metabolism. However, he was frightened by Wen Rui's outrageous words and broke out in a cold sweat.

"The Emperor comes from a family of loyalty and righteousness. He would never do anything rebellious. Don't play tricks on me."

Taibai Jinxing gritted his teeth and spoke carefully, glancing at Wen Rui from the corner of his eyes as he spoke, observing his expression and trying to figure out whether he was serious.

Wen Rui had guessed most of it right. The Jade Emperor's current situation was extremely precarious, with internal and external troubles and a precarious situation.

In the battle in the bloody sea, two of the four generals of heaven were killed, and Yang Jian and Huang Tianhua were seriously injured; in the battle on Mount Tai, Nezha and Roaring Sky Dog disappeared, and it was said that some gods saw Nezha riding on the dog and running away without looking back in the chaos.

The eighty thousand heavenly soldiers and generals also lost their minds and were temporarily transformed into zombie puppets by Wen Rui.

The Jade Emperor has no soldiers or generals under his command. This time, anyone who wants to attack Lingxiao Palace and slap him in the face does not need to gather 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to get the achievement first.

The most terrifying thing is that the Western religion is now in a situation where it is difficult to save itself. Even if the Jade Emperor lies under the jade table and shouts at the top of his lungs, he cannot invite the Buddha.

The Jade Emperor's guards are now extremely weak, and a monkey can easily defeat them alone.

Just as Wen Rui said, if he made up his mind to rebel, the Jade Emperor would have no choice but to behave dignifiedly.

Taibai Jinxing did not dare to delay any longer, fearing that Wen Rui might have evil thoughts. He quickly unfolded the golden scroll and announced the decree in a loud voice: "I hereby use the power of the Haotian Jinque to appoint you as the 'Creation Mysterious Sky Demon-Subduing Heavenly Lord' to lead all the affairs of the heavens and subdue demons, and to control the key points of the creation of the three realms. I hope that you will abide by the rules of heaven, forever guard the eight wastelands, protect me from the vastness of the sky, and ensure the safety of all living beings. I decree this!"

After the announcement, he immediately bowed his hands and congratulated: "Congratulations to the Heavenly Venerable, congratulations to the Heavenly Venerable, the Heavenly Venerable's merits and virtues moved the heavens, so they bestowed such grace, it is truly worthy of the position, and it is well deserved!"

Not to mention, Wen Rui was in a bad mood at first, but after hearing this title, he admired the Jade Emperor's ability to confer official titles. He really liked the title of "The Supreme Lord of Creation and Demon-Subduing".

But on second thought, if he received this title, he would have to take on the post of demon-slaying god and protect the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Court from disasters.

This is really an open conspiracy!
There are no generals available in Heaven. Even Li Jing, the tallest among the short men, has been imprisoned in Heaven by the Jade Emperor. After counting, the only one left is Wen Rui, who has an outstanding record against the demons.

The Heavenly Court sent out troops twice and was defeated each time. To be frank, Wen Rui was the only one who used troops selfishly and never lost a battle.

Not long ago, Wen Rui manifested his divine power in the form of thunder in the Western religious world. The gods in heaven witnessed it with their own eyes while standing in the clouds, marveling in admiration.

Although he relied on the power of his father Wen Zhong Jiutian's Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder, the merits outweighed the flaws. If it were any other god, they would not even be able to muster the courage to face the countless demon mosquitoes, let alone kill them.

If I don't use him, I have no other choice.

With the title of Heavenly Venerable bestowed upon him, under normal circumstances, his divine body of merit and virtue should be upgraded.

The gods in heaven, especially those who were deified for their merits, have their divine powers directly linked to their titles. The higher the title, the greater the divine power they receive.

However, after Taibai Jinxing announced the imperial edict and the title of Heavenly Venerable was officially crowned, Wen Rui did not feel any improvement in his body.

Only then did he realize that his current body was no longer a divine body of merit. On the way to deliver Taibai Jinxing's order, he had transformed it into a biochemical demon body!
The improvement of the meritorious divine body brought by the position of Heavenly Venerable is not at the same level as that brought by the position of Great Emperor.

Before Wen Zhong was conferred the title of Heavenly Venerable, he was only at a level that allowed him to fight on equal terms with the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. When he encountered the more powerful ones among the Twelve Golden Immortals, his chances of winning were slim, and he often had to use earth escape to escape.

After being named the Nine Heavens Thunder God, he was firmly superior to the Chan Sect's Golden Immortal, and this was when he lost his physical body and his soul was deified. If he had not lost his physical body, the improvement he would have obtained would have been even more terrifying.

Wen Rui had always been obsessed with accumulating merits to be promoted to the position of Heavenly Venerate, hoping for a major improvement like a complete transformation. However, fate played a trick on him, and just before he got the title, he no longer wanted to be a god!
He secretly transformed himself into a super biochemical demon and obtained the body of an unrivaled beast god, but lost the super bonus of the position of Heavenly Venerate to the body of merit.

It is true that: what you gain in the evening you lose in the morning, every sip and every bite is destined!

The more Wen Rui thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the gloomier his expression became. Combined with his somewhat sickly pale complexion and the dim lighting in the hall, it made Taibai Jinxing's scalp tingle.

"Is there anything that you are not satisfied with, Wen Tianzun? If you think the title is not pleasant to the ear, just let me know and I will submit it to the Jade Emperor and change it for you, isn't that enough?"

"You can call me whatever you want, as long as you don't call me Jade Emperor, we can discuss it!"

Taibai Jinxing was so frightened that he spoke without thinking, fearing that Wen Rui would be displeased and rebel on the spot, and capture the envoy who delivered the imperial edict to sacrifice to the flag.

"That's all. It's just an empty title..."

Wen Rui tried his best to restrain himself and suppressed his depression. He said indifferently: "Go back and report to the Jade Emperor and tell him that I thank His Majesty very much. I am quite satisfied with this title."

"As long as you are satisfied, that's good!"

Taibai Jinxing was as if he had been pardoned. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Little Heavenly Venerable is really indifferent to praise or criticism. If it were other gods, they would be overjoyed to know that they were given the title of Heavenly Venerable. But you are as calm as a cloud of smoke..."

"That's enough, get out!"

"Hey, Xiaoxian got the order."

Taibai Jinxing quickly agreed, and walked backwards out of the hall with a hunched back. As soon as he walked out of the hall, his body went limp and he almost fell to the ground.

The divine guards of Lingxiao Palace who were escorting him hurried forward to support him.

"Taibai Xingjun, what's wrong with you? How does the person inside react?"

The one who asked the question was a god in a battle robe, none other than Wu Ji, the Star Lord of Martial Arts. This time he accompanied Taibai Jinxing to deliver the imperial edict because Wen Rui had been given the position of exorcist, and the Star Lord of Martial Arts was in charge of quelling all evildoers, which was equivalent to the chief subordinate of Wen Tianzun.

The Lord of Wude came here to pay a visit to the superior official, and secondly, he is also a member of the imperial party. The Jade Emperor wants to place him next to Wen Rui to urge Wen Rui to perform his duties as a god and monitor him from the side.

Wu Ji, the Star Lord of Wu De, was originally a commoner in the Shang Dynasty who made a living by chopping wood. In front of Sishui Pass, Qiu Yin, the guard of Qinglong Pass, offered a soul-capturing red bead. Wu Ji led the mortal soldiers to break the spell with black dog blood and won military exploits. As a result, because of this achievement, he was named the Star Lord of Wu De by Jiang Ziya, which was a promotion beyond his level.

A god like him with mediocre abilities and clean background, who has nothing to do with the Jiejiao, is favored by the Jade Emperor and is more likely to be trained, promoted and reused.

Before, the Jade Emperor had Taibai Jinxing in civil affairs and Li Jing in military affairs beside him, but the God of War was too mediocre and could not get close to him.

Only after Li Jing's downfall did he come into the sight of the Jade Emperor and gain the precious opportunity to serve him.
