Chapter 854: Change of Ownership of the Mortal Realm

The Jade Emperor pretended not to see Wen Zhong's disrespectful behavior. It was enough for him to suffer from the young Wen Tianzun, and if he offended the old Wen Tianzun over such trivial matters of etiquette, he would be punished like a traitor when he went to court in the future.

"My dear, this set of 'Heavenly Secret Super Weapons' magic weapon you created really does not consume immortal energy and can be used anytime and anywhere?"

The Jade Emperor's attention had long been attracted by the power of the super weapon demonstrated by Wen Rui. He did not care about anything else and asked excitedly.

"On cloudy days, the effect is halved... But since I collected water from all over the world, cloudy weather is no longer possible in the mortal world, so it can be said that this super weapon has all-weather combat capabilities."

"Then what are you waiting for, my dear?"

The Jade Emperor's tone became even more excited, and he said impatiently: "Why don't you quickly mobilize 200,000 new celestial troops and send them to the mortal world immediately, borrow the power of the sun and the moon to wipe out the demons and recover the lost territory?"

Wen Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty knows nothing about military affairs, nor does he understand the way of destiny, so he said this. In all wars in the world, there has never been any talk of a final decisive weapon. Only some ignorant islanders in remote areas would talk about this with relish."

"This weapon is extremely lethal to the demon mosquitoes active on the surface and in the atmosphere, but it cannot harm the demon mosquitoes hiding underground."

While explaining patiently, Wen Rui controlled the projection screen to play the 3D demonstration animation.

In the picture, a simple schematic diagram is used to mark the refractive sky in outer space and the swarm of insects on the surface.

The refracted moonlight attracted the attention of the insect swarm, as if it had cast a spell to freeze them. Then it refracted and focused the sunlight, and the dazed demon insects had no time to resist or dodge, and turned into a fireball and burned to ashes.

Then, the scene switched to the magic insects hiding in the underground or in the shelters of mountain caves. Because there was no immobilizing effect of moonlight, the high temperature generated by the sunlight shining on the surface was transmitted to the underground. The insect swarm, having received the warning, immediately burrowed downwards and moved.

Soon the garrison cave that gathered a large number of magic insects was emptied, and the focused sunlight shining on the surface melted the soil and rock layers several meters thick.

"As shown in the picture, the focused sun essence burns the surface of the earth, and most of the energy is absorbed by the earth, making it difficult to penetrate into the underground where the demon insects are hiding."

"If the radiation continues and the earth is scorched, even if it burns through the ground, the demon insects will have enough time to move on."

The demonstration diagram is simple and straightforward, and the gods watching can understand it quickly.

"Moreover, this magic weapon cannot be abused wantonly. Balance exists everywhere between heaven and earth. I have collected water from all over the world, which has already destroyed the balance of the five elements in the mortal world. If it refracts the essence of the sun excessively and burns the earth, the balance of yin and yang will be broken again. Before all the demon insects are annihilated, the mortal world will be turned into a sea of molten lava."

After hearing Rui's explanation, some immortals who still had doubts suddenly realized and understood everything.

When I told them that excessive refraction and focusing of sunlight would continuously increase the surface temperature of the primitive continent, which would result in the redundant heat being unable to be discharged and accumulating in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to ionize, which would cause irreversible impacts on the planet's environment when reaching a certain threshold, they didn't understand.

But once it was briefly explained using the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, it was immediately widely accepted.

"Therefore, this super weapon can only be used in key battles. Before using it, the main force of the demon insects lurking underground must be lured out."

Wen Rui continued to explain: "Moreover, this weapon also has a major drawback, that is, the power of heaven and earth does not distinguish between friend and foe. Whether it is the demon insects, heavenly soldiers, or even the Arhats and Bodhisattvas of the Western religion that are shrouded in strong light, they will all be reduced to ashes under the burning of the sun's true fire." When the Jade Emperor heard this, his excitement disappeared, his brows were furrowed, and he was very disappointed.

"What a pity! I thought we were on the verge of regaining the mortal world."

He shook his head slowly and said with regret: "From this it can be seen that although this treasure is powerful, it cannot end the devil's calamity. Instead, it is extremely dangerous. Once used improperly, it will cause a catastrophe."

"After weighing the pros and cons, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Why don't you temporarily demolish it to avoid disaster..."

Wen Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly praised the Jade Emperor's sensitive sense of smell. It turned out that being the Jade Emperor for so many years was not in vain. After learning that the space-based super weapon could not completely eliminate the magic insects, the first thing that came to his mind was how much of a threat this super weapon would pose to his future rule if it was in Wen Rui's hands.

Once the demonic calamity is resolved, the catastrophe is over, and everything returns to normal, if this super weapon is still retained, the mortal world will no longer be under the control of the Jade Emperor.

Not only can the Jade Emperor not control the mortal world, but Western religions must also obey his orders. Tathagata can only be a Buddha and be honest and low-key.

Otherwise, if Wen Rui slightly opened the sun-blocking curtain and shone the sun on Lingshan for a few hours, the huge Lingshan would be melted into a sea of golden water.

The Wen family already had a Heavenly Venerable who could summon lightning in the mortal world anytime and anywhere without expending any immortal power. Now, they have another Little Heavenly Venerable who can summon heavenly fire anytime and anywhere in the mortal world without expending any immortal power.

Wen Da Tianzun needs the support of cloudy and rainy weather to summon heavenly thunder, while Wen Xiao Tianzun needs clear skies to summon heavenly fire for the best effect. With this father and son working together, how can the world of the mortal world escape the punishment of the Pure Land?
From then on, the mortal world among the three realms had become the undisputed leader. Anyone who dared to disobey would either be struck to death by lightning or refined by the true fire of the sun.

Even if one is a Golden Immortal living in seclusion in a secret realm somewhere in the mortal world, no matter how powerful his magic is, he cannot withstand the power of heaven and earth whose energy is eternal and endless.

When the Jade Emperor came to his senses, he immediately felt a great threat. The first thing he thought of was to find an excuse to let Wen Rui dismantle this super weapon.

"Your Majesty, although this treasure cannot end the demonic calamity, it can greatly limit the range of activities of the demonic insects. From now on, the surface of the earth has been designated as a demonic insect restricted area."

Wen Rui figured this out in a blink of an eye, and had already prepared an excuse to shirk responsibility: "The demon insects confined underground are much less threatening, and are no longer able to take the initiative to launch a large-scale attack. Don't even think about interfering with the glaciers in the South Pole."

"In this way, even if the demonic calamity continues for a few more years, the demons will be like grasshoppers after autumn, and will only become weaker and weaker, and will no longer be able to break through the Heavenly Gate."

"As long as we keep this magic weapon, the Heavenly Court will be invincible. If we dismantle it hastily as Your Majesty suggests, and the demon army attacks the Heavenly Gate or attacks the North and South Poles to seize the glacier water source, how will we respond?"

The Jade Emperor's face was stiff, and he smiled unnaturally, nodding and saying, "My dear minister, your opinion is excellent. I have not thought it through properly. I will do as you say and keep this magical treasure during the demonic calamity."

Although only half of the words were said, the implicit meaning was that once the devil's calamity was resolved, it would be the day to dismantle the Sky Curtain super weapon.

Wen Rui didn't argue with him. Anyway, since he could use it to refine the Sun and Moon Pearls, he would make a profit and it would be more than enough to recover the initial investment in the project.

Moreover, when the day comes when the demons are driven back to the earth, it is still unknown what the situation will be like in the Heavenly Court. It is not something that the Jade Emperor can tear down just because he wants to.
