Rewriting the Gods

Just as Yang Jian left, a golden light suddenly appeared in the Lingxiao Palace, and Yaochi's figure appeared in the void.

"I heard that the Chan Sect has also sided with the human race?"

With a clearly solemn expression, the Queen Mother of the West asked the question.

Haotian nodded and said, "More or less. Although they haven't completely sided with the human race yet, the two sides have already shown signs of reconciliation."

"By appointing Nezha, who is of human origin and from the Nuwa Palace, as the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, and as the leader of the third generation of disciples of the Chan Sect, it won't be long before the relationship between the two sides quickly eases."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West's expression grew even more solemn. She sighed softly and said, "The Chan Sect, established by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, does not have any obvious enmity with the human race. Moreover, the Chan Sect has few disciples and has no intention of taking control of the world."

"The Chan Sect and the human race are not in conflict. Currently, the human race is powerful, and reconciliation between the Chan Sect and the human race is inevitable."

Upon hearing this, Haotian's face also showed a solemn expression. The human race, Nuwa Palace, and Jie Sect, when they stood together, were enough to suppress the entire prehistoric world. The Heavenly Court, the Western Sect, and the Chan Sect, when combined, could only barely catch their breath.

At present, the Chan Sect also needs to resolve the grievances between itself and the human race. Without the Chan Sect, the Heavenly Court and the Western Sect alone are definitely no match for the human race.

Thinking of this, a resolute look flashed across Haotian's face:
"It seems the plan needs to be moved up!"

"If we continue to delay, we may be sidelined by the human race before Yang Jian grows up."

"That's all it can do!"

"Alright!"

Upon hearing the words of the Queen Mother of the West, the last trace of hesitation in Haotian's eyes vanished, and Haotian immediately summoned all his trusted subordinates.

Including the Judicial Heavenly God Temple where Yang Jian resides, as well as a group of ancient gods led by Dong Wang Gong and Taibai Jinxing, these immortals were all recruited by the Heavenly Court in ancient times. They were all recruited by Haotian and were Haotian's direct descendants.

A moment later, the gods dispersed!
Immediately afterwards, endless golden light rose from the Lingxiao Palace, illuminating the void and dyeing the entire Heavenly Court golden. At the same time, colorful clouds rose from the sky, making the entire Heavenly Court appear infinitely majestic.

"Gods, return to your places!"

Haotian's solemn voice resounded through the void. At the same time, all the gods of the fourth rank and above in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man received Haotian's summons. The magnificent will of the Heavenly Dao transmitted the will of Haotian, the sovereign of the three realms, to the minds of every god.

Haotian's action instantly brought the once-silent prehistoric world back to life.

Several dazzling rays of light rose simultaneously in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man!
Within the Heavenly Court, in the thirty-six palaces and seventy-two halls, powerful deities rose up one after another, heading straight for the Lingxiao Palace!

In the human realm, the Three Mountains Gods, the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors, and the City God of the Upper Rank, among other human gods, ascended to Heaven by imperial decree. In the underworld, the Netherworld Emperor, the Ten Kings of Hell, the Five Ghost Emperors, and the Civil and Military Judges, among other gods, also ascended to Heaven. Even in the depths of the underworld's cycle of reincarnation, a wisp of his incarnation was sent to Heaven!
A moment later, the Lingxiao Palace was filled with gods of all ranks, including the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, the Four Imperial Emperors, Doumu Yuanjun, and various Heavenly Venerables, Emperors, and True Lords.
This is the first time since the establishment of the Heavenly Court that so many deities have gathered in the Lingxiao Palace!

Fourth-rank celestial beings, who are usually considered powerful figures, can be seen everywhere here. They all have serious expressions as they sense the powerful auras in the void.

The third and fourth-rank deities on the field looked solemn and dared not look too closely, but the first and second-rank deities were much more casual. Although they were all under Haotian's command, they did not show much respect to Haotian.

The great gods secretly observed Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West, speculating about the purpose of their grand gathering of the gods today.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Haotian didn't keep them in suspense any longer and immediately said, "I sense that the Heavenly Dao is changing, and I will soon enter the cycle of reincarnation with the Queen Mother to undergo tribulations, in order to fulfill the destiny of Heaven and Earth!"

Upon hearing this, the immortals present were instantly shocked. What was going on? Had Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West entered the cycle of reincarnation at the same time?
These two are the heads of the Heavenly Court, the two nominal rulers of the Heavenly Court. Even the Four Imperial Emperors are nominally assisting these two.

Although the human race has recently ascended to heaven, and these two have been rendered powerless in many ways, they still hold the power of the Heavenly Dao and firmly control the Heavenly Court under its authority.

Even though they were human, they could only secretly sideline these two, and dared not openly disobey their orders.

These two are preparing to enter the tribulation together today. If they leave at the same time, wouldn't the Heavenly Court's direct line be leaderless?

With Haotian and Yaochi around normally, it's already difficult for the old guard of the Heavenly Court to suppress the power of the human race. If these two were to leave, wouldn't that be handing the Heavenly Court over to the human race?

Although the Heavenly Dao has authority and Haotian is not afraid of the human race seizing power, during this period of reincarnation, the Heavenly Court's power is in a vacuum. During this time, the human race will definitely have the final say on all matters, big and small, in the Heavenly Court!

In an instant, the eyes of all the gods on the field focused on the few leaders of the human race, especially Emperors Suiren and Zhu Xiang.

However, at this moment, Suiren and Zhu Xiang did not show any obvious joy on their faces, but rather worry. Something was wrong. Haotian's actions must have something wrong.

Before Suiren could come to a conclusion, Haotian continued:

"During the time that I and the Queen Mother were away, all matters, large and small, of the Heavenly Court were transferred to the Ziwei Heavenly Palace, to be established by the Great Emperor Ziwei of the Central Heaven. The words of the Great Emperor Ziwei are my decrees!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Haotian's gaze fell on Suiren, waiting for Suiren to step forward and receive the decree.

Suiren frowned. Haotian was acting strangely today; there must be something fishy going on.

But as mentioned before, Haotian holds the power of the Heavenly Dao and is an absolute authority in the Heavenly Court. Once a decree is issued, even Suiren has no choice but to obey.

Suppressing his doubts, Suiren stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said:

"Follow the law!"

"good!"

Haotian nodded in satisfaction, then his gaze fell upon the incarnation of Houtu beside him. Upon seeing her, a solemn expression appeared in Haotian's eyes, and he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Houtu, saying:
"After my reincarnation, I will need Your Majesty's continued care in all matters concerning the underworld."

"Ah."

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Houtu nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, without making any further moves.

The people on the field were no exception; after all, this person was comparable to a saint, and nodding was already giving Haotian enough face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian bowed to Pingxin with his hands clasped.

Then, looking at the gods on the field, he spoke again: "I sensed the secrets of heaven. There may be some unusual activity in the underground cave. I have ordered the Eastern King Duke, Venus, ... the God of Justice Yang Jian, and his 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to suppress the underground cave to prevent any unforeseen events!"

One by one, the names of the gods were uttered by Haotian. Each one was a direct subordinate of Haotian. The gods stepped forward and bowed, saying, "We obey the decree!"

Having said that, the gods disregarded what followed and left the Lingxiao Palace one by one. At the same time, the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Judicial God Temple were also mobilized, and the gods rode clouds away from the Heavenly Court, heading towards the underground cave. Watching this scene, Suiren's face grew increasingly solemn. Haotian's actions must have been a trap. All of Haotian's direct subordinates had been transferred away, and apart from Yaochi, the entire Heavenly Court was now filled with humans, Western religions, and some neutral immortals and gods.

Before everyone could react, the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool, standing beside Haotian, spoke up: "When I reincarnate, the Peach Banquet will be suspended, the Jade Pool will be closed, and all the gods of the Jade Pool will be stationed there to guard the Peach Garden without fail!"

"Follow the law!"

Several fairies stepped forward from the hall, bowed in respect, and then flew towards the Jade Pool. After a while, a vast golden light rose up, and countless golden lights intertwined in the sky above the Jade Pool, eventually transforming into a complex barrier that completely enveloped the Jade Pool.

A magnificent will emanated from the golden light, clearly formed by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

The Queen Mother of the West nodded slightly, then transformed into a golden light and fell into the Jade Pool, leaving only her voice echoing in the Lingxiao Palace: "Gods, please continue to perform your duties. When I return for reincarnation, I will reward you according to your merits!"

Immediately afterwards, Haotian of the Lingxiao Palace also spoke up: "All immortals, please step down. In the future, you may hold court at the Ziwei Heavenly Palace. From today onwards, the Lingxiao Palace will be closed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a magnificent power of the Heavenly Dao rose up. Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and the next moment, they were already outside the Lingxiao Palace.

A vast golden light also rose from the Lingxiao Palace before them, transforming into a barrier that appeared above the palace. Then, two beams of golden light rose and flew into the underworld together.

The moment the golden light rose, the barriers between Yaochi and Lingxiao Palace completely closed, sealing off the two most central places of the Heavenly Court!

Before long, endless golden light rose in the human world, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds, with the phantom images of dragons and phoenixes circling in the void.

Seeing this magnificent phenomenon in the human world, everyone understood that Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West had been reincarnated, and that these two had left the entire Heavenly Court to the human race!
For a moment, all the gods were stunned and didn't know what to do. These things happened too fast. Before the gods could react, the Heavenly Court had "changed hands".

In a single day, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West were gone, and now the Heavenly Court is ruled by the Ziwei Emperor.

Before long, the quick-witted celestial being bowed to Suiren and said, "Greetings, Emperor Ziwei!"

The next moment, everyone came to their senses and bowed to Suiren, saying, "Greetings, Emperor Ziwei!"

Suiren frowned, looked at the crowd, suppressed his thoughts, raised his hand and said, "There is no need for formalities. I am grateful for His Majesty's trust in temporarily managing many affairs of the Heavenly Court. I hope you will all cooperate with me."

As soon as Suiren spoke, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and returned the greeting:

"Please rest assured, Emperor Ziwei!"

Who cares what happens? Let it be a cycle of reincarnation. Let the higher-ups worry about their own problems. As long as someone is in charge, that's fine.

After quickly dealing with everyone, Suiren immediately led the core gods of the human race to the Ziwei Heavenly Palace. Today's events happened too suddenly, giving him no time to react before Haotian and the Queen Mother reincarnated.

We must figure out Haotian's intentions as soon as possible.

A moment later, all the core high-ranking members of the human race in the Heavenly Court gathered at the Ziwei Heavenly Palace. There were more than two hundred people in total, all of whom were Great Luo Golden Immortals!

Nezha was also among them, making for a truly spectacular scene.

However, the atmosphere in the main hall was very solemn at this moment, with little joy in sight.

No one on the field was a fool. Haotian's unexpected reincarnation and the fact that he transferred all his loyal followers before leaving were clearly a trap.

Moreover, no one knew what the trap was.

The departure of Haotian and the Queen Mother was indeed beneficial to the human race, and quite beneficial at that. With the two gone, the human race completely lost its restraint in the Heavenly Court. The few members of the Western Sect alone could not possibly be a match for the human race.

Don't forget, the Jie Sect and the human race are allies. With the Jie Sect added to the mix, the Western Sect has absolutely no chance to contend with the human race.

Undoubtedly, this is a great thing for the human race, but precisely because of this, the Suiren are even more worried. It looks like a trap, a trap specifically set to harm the human race.

For a long while, no one spoke. Finally, Suiren spoke first: "Enough. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Haotian has already reincarnated, so there's no point in saying more. Since Haotian wants me to take charge of the Heavenly Court, then I will take charge!"

"Whatever traps they may be, we humans will take them!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere on the field immediately relaxed, and a fighting spirit rose in everyone's hearts!
Yes, right now, the human race is the most powerful being in the primordial world. Let them come and take whatever traps they want!
"However, even so, we must not underestimate this. Everyone should be careful in your actions recently and patrol the Three Realms more often. This morning, we discovered Haotian's backup plan!"

"Yes!"

The crowd roared in agreement.

Suiren nodded in satisfaction, then his gaze swept over everyone and he said, "Patrolling the Three Realms and slaying demons was originally the business of the Temple of Justice. Now that the Temple of Justice has left, this task has fallen to us."

After a moment's thought, Suiren said, "Let Zhu Jue and Nezha be in charge of patrolling the Three Realms. You two will each lead ten thousand Ziwei Divine Soldiers. Zhu Jue will patrol the Heavenly Court, and Nezha will patrol the mortal realm!"

"Anyone who commits a crime shall be dealt with according to the laws of Heaven. If anything is found to be wrong, it shall be reported immediately!"

Upon being called upon by Suiren, Nezha and Zhu Jue immediately showed expressions of surprise and joy, and quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Yes!"

Both of them were at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which was more than enough for them to lead the heavenly army to patrol the human race. However, the problem was that there were quite a few Great Luo Golden Immortals at the peak of the realm on the field. Leading a large army to patrol the heavenly court and the mortal world was a rare and desirable job, and both of them were very happy to get this job.

Nezha, in particular, had lived in the Tai Xuan Palace for many years and had rarely seen the ancestor Suiren. He never expected that this task would be his turn.

Suiren nodded, gesturing for the two to stand up, then looked at the crowd and said:

"The remaining departments, each perform your duties, and report any abnormalities immediately!"

"At this critical moment, it is better to report a false alarm than to overlook any anomalies. We must investigate the trap left by Haotian as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

More than two hundred Great Luo Golden Immortals responded simultaneously, and a magnificent battle intent rose up!
