Chapter 846: Not Fearful of the Evil Party
Chapter 846: Not Fearful of the Evil Party
Under the expectant gazes of the gods in heaven, Taiyin Star Lord, who was a little slow in reacting to matters between men and women, released the video captured by the recording bead.
She was almost in despair. Anyone who was not a fool would have understood the atmosphere and seen through the Jade Emperor's biased attitude.
She knew that Wen Rui was extremely powerful, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful. If Wen Rui hadn't insisted that she play the video in the palace, Taiyin Star Lord wouldn't even have the chance to speak and prove himself.
Taiyin Star Lord no longer holds out any hope of bringing down Wen Rui. Even if the irrefutable evidence recorded in the video is played, it will not hurt this treacherous official at all. Instead, he will suffer severe retaliation. The Jade Emperor will certainly follow the wishes of the treacherous Wen and make an unfair judgment.
But justice is in the hearts of people, and God is watching what people do. The gods who commit evil may be able to run rampant for a while, but in the end, the cycle of cause and effect will inevitably bring retribution, and they will definitely be punished by heaven!
Even for the sake of justice, Taiyin Star Lord had to expose Wen Rui's false mask to the gods and reveal his ugly face of extortion and tyranny, even if it meant sacrificing himself.
Before playing the video bead, Taiyin Star Lord was still worried that Wen Rui was so confident that he might secretly use his magical powers to modify or erase the content of the video and destroy the evidence.
However, all worries disappeared after the image was projected. The recording bead had not been tampered with. What was played was the scene of Wen Rui controlling the huge sky-covering mirror curtain, refracting sunlight onto the moon, turning half of the moon into a forbidden zone of strong light and high temperature where even immortals could not stand.
She looked at the gods expectantly, hoping to see expressions of indignation on their faces, but the first reaction of the expectant gods when they saw the video footage was...
Big disappointment?
Why are you disappointed?
Isn’t this irrefutable evidence?
In front of several female fairies in the Moon Palace, he tyrannically requisitioned half of the moon, completely changing the moon's ecology and the laws of planetary motion. Shouldn't such a rebellious act be condemned?
The Moon God was puzzled.
"If he can do this to the moon, he can do the same to the planets ruled by other star gods. If we don't unite against his enemies and stand up against his atrocities, we will suffer greatly in the future!"
The Moon God pointed at the video and complained like a weeping cuckoo, trying to arouse the sympathy of the gods. However, all he got was a cold look in response of “I would rather die than let my friend die.”
"This video is absolutely not fake. Now those sky curtains are still hanging next to the moon and the sun. He hung these sky curtains and grabbed the essence of the sun and the moon just to refine magic weapons and seek personal gain by relying on his power!"
Fearing that the gods would not believe him, Taiyin Star Lord continued to explain: "The moon's situation is relatively light, but the sun's situation is more serious. Most of the sun is covered by the sky. It's just that the Sun Star Lord was afraid of Wen Rui's power and chose to swallow his anger."
Unlike the other gods who were disappointed that they failed to get their fill of food, the Jade Emperor's expression became more serious after listening to the accusation of the Moon Lord, and his brows twisted into knots unconsciously.
One should not meddle in matters that are not one's business. The gods have been upholding the fine tradition of "I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die" for millions of years and are used to keeping a distance from matters that do not concern them. However, the Jade Emperor really listened to it and took the matter seriously.
The sun and the moon are very important, and their importance cannot be compared to the stars in the sky.
Once something goes wrong, the three realms will be greatly affected, resulting in irreversible consequences.
After carefully considering his words, the Jade Emperor hesitated and said, "In theory, the Creator has divine power by nature and can freely create things in the Three Realms..."
He had only said half of his words when Wen Rui raised his eyebrows and looked over at him with an indignant look, forcing the Jade Emperor to swallow back what he was about to say.
There is no other way. Although the Jade Emperor is the head of the Heavenly Palace, he does not do everything himself, otherwise he would not have appointed so many gods. In some areas, he must delegate power. Otherwise, he will always interfere and meddle in matters. Once the gods in important positions become dissatisfied and simply give up their responsibilities, the Jade Emperor will be exhausted to death and will not be able to manage the countless political affairs in heaven and on earth.
The Dou Mansion suppresses the evil spirits among the stars, and the Lei Mansion controls thunder to monitor good and evil. The Jade Emperor cannot interfere in these areas at will.
Since Wen Rui was given the title of Creator, the Jade Emperor must respect his expertise in this area. Otherwise, Wen Rui could just push the power and responsibility granted by the title of Demon Subduer back to the Jade Emperor and let the Jade Emperor lead his troops to fight against the demons himself.
Don’t you want to be in charge?
Then take care of them all. If you can manage them well, you’re awesome!
Having been the leader of Heaven for many years, he must have a tacit understanding with the important officials he relies on. What's more, Wen Rui is not fighting alone. Dou Mansion and Lei Mansion are both his solid backing. Once a precedent of interfering with the duties of the Creation God is set, it will affect Lei Mansion, Dou Mansion, and even the eight gods of the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Fire, Ministry of Water, Ministry of Plague, and Ministry of Smallpox who are on good terms with Wen Rui.
Just as Taiyin Xingjun said, if the Jade Emperor can treat Wen Xiaotianzun like this, he will also arbitrarily interfere with the power of the other eight gods. By then, everyone will become the Jade Emperor's slaves, like Li Jing and Taibai Jinxing, who are only fit to bow and do his orders, and are not fit to freely exercise their divine power according to their own will.
Divine power is a gift from heaven, earned through merit, not a reward from the Jade Emperor. It is the confidence of the gods.
Otherwise, when the List of Gods was established, it would not have been Jiang Ziya who presided over it, commenting on the merits first and then conferring the titles of gods, but the Jade Emperor would have directly drawn up a list and appointed people based on nepotism and loyalty.
"Lord Taiyin, in my opinion, you are just making trouble out of nothing!"
The Jade Emperor said with a sullen face, "The God of Creation is exercising his divine authority normally, and I cannot interfere with it easily. But you are here making alarmist remarks and inciting the immortals. Why don't you leave immediately!"
Taiyin Star Lady's face was full of grievance, and tears were welling up in her eyes. She had lived for tens of thousands of years and had never suffered such injustice.
This heaven is too dark. Those with power and influence can do whatever they want, while those without power and influence will be framed and punished!
In fact, the heaven has always been very dark, and the lesser gods and fairies have suffered countless injustices. The Moon God has always been a noble fairy and has no chance to experience the sufferings of the fairies on earth.
The Jade Emperor had actually been very considerate in his treatment of her. He only dismissed her and did not punish her. This was also for the purpose of protection. Otherwise, Wen Rui would have held on to her and dragged his followers in the court to make trouble. The most serious consequence might have been that the Moon God would have been exiled to the immortal platform.
Afraid that Taiyin Star God would not understand his painstaking efforts, the Jade Emperor, although with a serious expression, kept winking at her, signaling her to quit while she was ahead and leave quickly to avoid disaster.
It’s a pity that Taiyin Star Lord failed to understand. He couldn’t swallow the injustice in his heart and refused to be one with these unjust gods.
"Your Majesty, Wen Rui is clearly abusing his power for personal gain and seizing the fortune of heaven and earth to refine his own magic weapon. Not only did you not stop him, but you also indulged him. I refuse to accept this!"
With his neck stiff, Taiyin Star Lord spoke righteously, just like the countless loyal and upright people who were about to be framed and killed by the treacherous party. He exuded the righteousness of heaven and earth as bright and flawless as moonlight.
