Chapter 877 Everyone celebrates
Half of the South Gate of Heaven collapsed, and both sides of Tianjie were in ruins. Countless magnificent buildings were turned into ruins by the shattered Five Elements Mountain rocks.
It was clearly a doomsday scene of a catastrophe, but there were countless immortals gathered on both sides of the Tianda Street, and the atmosphere was extremely warm and festive.
The heavenly soldiers and generals, clad in silver armor and holding spears, lined up neatly on both sides of the Heavenly Street, separating the celestial beings and immortals who gathered spontaneously from the heavens and maintaining order.
The golden immortals were standing on auspicious clouds, floating in the air. Emperor Wenchang waved his brush, and the golden characters "Welcome the triumphant return of the Heavenly Lord of Creation" slowly appeared in the air; the Star Lord Wu Qu held the hilt of his sword, his eyes like torches, staring at the direction of the Heavenly Gate.
Countless minor celestial officials stood on tiptoe and looked around, holding celestial flowers and fruits in their hands, their faces full of anticipation. Weaver girls, craftsmen, celestial children, strong men... countless lower-level celestials also gathered here, looking eagerly in the direction of the South Gate of Heaven, waiting for the great hero of the celestial court to appear.
In the past, when Li Jing led the heavenly soldiers and generals to attack the demon king in the lower world, he never enjoyed such a grand welcome ceremony with all the immortals present, let alone the lesser immortals, gods and immortal people who would spontaneously come to greet him.
The reason is very simple. It is like if the Hope Country sends troops to attack a small country like Gambia and wins. Even if the Jade Emperor rewards him greatly in order to promote him, ordinary immortals will not take it seriously.
On the other hand, when the monkeys were suppressed for causing trouble in Heaven, although ordinary immortals did not celebrate spontaneously, the officials, both big and small, were celebrating, and the Heavenly Peace Conference was held in a lively manner.
It was unclear whether these immortal officials were celebrating the execution of the trouble-making monkey or the settlement of a bad debt that had been piling up for thousands of years.
When the God of Creation heard that Rui had gone down to the mortal world alone to defeat demons and returned victoriously, he was warmly welcomed by almost all the immortals in the Heavenly Court from top to bottom.
The Five Elements Mountain rock that smashed the South Heaven Gate and exploded on the Lingxiao Palace really frightened the gods and made them feel the threat of falling.
This is like if 911/ happened to Hope Country. The psychological impact on the immortals was far greater than the damage caused by the Five Elements Mountain.
Many minor gods and fairies, in fact, were not concerned about the catastrophe of demon insects in the mortal world. They carried forward the spirit of "a friend's death is not my fault" and kept aloof from the matter, just going about their lives in heaven as usual.
It's just a few hundred fairy jades a month, why worry so much?
Anyway, if the sky falls, there are gods above to hold it up.
The incense and prayers from the human race in the mortal world have been cut off, and they have little to do with these minor gods and fairies. Mortals will worship the God of Wealth, the Star of Literature, the God of Harmony, the Three Pure Ones, and the Four Emperors, but it is impossible for them to worship Ayun, the female weaver at the No. 8 loom in the No. 2 weaving workshop of the Tianyi Bureau, right?
For these minor gods and immortals, the greatest benefit of becoming immortals and ascending to heaven is that they can live forever. As long as the sky does not fall, they can live for thousands of years without suffering from cold or hunger.
Occasionally, during festivals or when the Jade Emperor shows mercy, he would reward some immortal fruits and low-level elixirs as a treat.
The price is that the rules are very strict and once you break them you will be severely punished. There is nothing fun to be had and life is plain and boring.
The life of the gods seems miserable, and indeed it is miserable, but compared with the vast majority of living beings in the mortal world who are tortured by illness, poverty, hunger, thirst, war, and slavery, it is still much better.
This mentality is like that of a citizen of a certain beacon country. Although they live a miserable life, they are not as good as others but better than some others. Mentally, they still think that they are proud and satisfied to be citizens of that country.
The huge rock that smashed the South Heaven Gate also shattered the psychological defenses of the immortals in the fairy world, causing great panic.
For the fairies, ascending to heaven was nothing more than seeking safety and shelter under a big tree. But now they couldn't defend against the bombardment from the lower world, and the artillery fire fell on the fairies who took refuge in heaven. How could they not panic?
Although not many fragments hit the remote heavenly palace where the fairies live, and did not kill any unlucky fairies in the fairy world, but seeing that several palaces of the Lingxiao Palace were collapsed, if more huge rocks fall in the future, how can these fairies save their lives?
However, before the panic could spread, the great God of Creation did not hold back his anger for even a second, and the next moment after the huge rock fell, he had already killed the demon in the face.
The immortals were not qualified to watch the Clairvoyant Immortal Official's broadcast above the Lingxiao Palace, but they had a lot of electronic products that Wen Rui smuggled over and sold at low prices to squeeze the last few immortal jades in their pockets. Once the tablet was turned on, it was really possible to find the live broadcast footage captured by satellites and high-altitude drones.
Three or five fairies gathered together, sharing a tablet computer, and watched the entire thrilling battle between Wen Rui and Taoist Mosquito.
Seeing the demon who threatened the survival of the fairies being beaten by the God of Creation, if the Jade Emperor had not stopped at the last moment, the God of Wen would have turned the Southern Continent upside down and completely beat the demon to death.
The lost sense of security was regained in an instant. The fairies in the fairy world felt as if they had seen the live broadcast of the killing of Bin Laden. The admiration for the Lord of Creation in their hearts was like a surging river in the sky, unstoppable.
The Jade Emperor had originally not arranged for the immortals to welcome the guests at this welcoming ceremony, but the people in heaven were too enthusiastic, and it was not convenient to send troops to disperse them, so he could only let them do what they wanted.
This time, the Jade Emperor led the civil and military officials to stand in the middle of the Heavenly Street to welcome him, and did not ride his Nine-Dragon Chariot, for fear that Little Heavenly Venerable Wen would think that his attitude was not respectful enough by coming to greet him by carriage.
Now is not the time for the Jade Emperor to demonstrate his majesty and status as the Emperor of Heaven. If Wen Rui had killed Taoist Mosquito, the Jade Emperor would have dared to consider how to kill the devil after his death. However, he failed in the end and let the devil escape.
But this was also a helpless choice. If he didn't stop at the last moment, and destroyed the Southern Continent in order to subdue the demons, there would be no more incense offerings from the Heavenly Court in the future, and it wouldn't matter whether Mosquito Taoist lived or died.
After waiting for a long time, the immortals finally saw the half-collapsed gate of the South Sky. The auspicious clouds automatically parted, and the Lord of Creation came slowly towards them, stepping on the golden auspicious clouds.
He was dressed in a purple Taoist robe and had an indifferent expression, yet he had a majesty that shook heaven and earth.
Wen Xiao Tianzun inherited the appearance of Wen Lao Tianzun, and he indeed had a good-looking appearance, but the Jade Emperor always felt that his temperament could not support such a good-looking appearance, and he did not look like a monarch.
But when I looked at him again today, I found that for no reason, the temperament of Little Wen Tianzun had improved countless times. The more I looked at him, the more I felt that his divine light was restrained and he was majestic without even being angry. His appearance was already top-notch, and his aura was soaring into the sky. He was even more impressive than Old Wen Tianzun.
Of course, anyone who can pin a top demon in the realm of Hunyuan Jinxian to the ground, or lift one of the four continents into the air, even if he has an extremely ugly face as small as a three-inch tree bark, others will feel that he has a powerful aura.
As soon as Wen Rui appeared, before the Jade Emperor could approach him to talk, he heard enthusiastic shouts and cheers all around.
"Thank you, God, for protecting the peace of the three realms!"
"May the divine power of the Heavenly Lord forever reign supreme in the sky!"
"I heard that Little Heavenly Venerable has an infinite life span and eternal blessings!"
……
No one shouted "Long live the immortal" because in the immortal world, saying "Long live the immortal" is a curse on them. Chunchun was cursing the immortal to die early.
"May you live forever and enjoy eternal happiness" means "Long live the Immortal" in the mortal world. Generally speaking, it is an auspicious phrase used to praise the Jade Emperor.
In front of the Jade Emperor, the immortals shouted the heavenly version of "Long live Wen Rui", which the Jade Emperor found extremely irritating, but he did not dare to show any displeasure. Instead, he nodded with a smile on his face to show his approval.
