Rewriting the Gods

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng's expression remained unchanged. He knew his own evil intentions well and had been cursed countless times over the years; he was already used to it. On the contrary, the Jade Emperor smiled upon hearing this and glanced at Tianpeng without leaving a trace.

Ignoring the mockery in the Jade Emperor's eyes, Tianpeng said calmly, "His Majesty needs your help. If you can handle it well, you will be free. As long as you don't break the Heavenly Rules, you can do whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, the curses below instantly ceased, and a joyful voice rang out, "Is this really true?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure below was illuminated with mysterious light, and his face became clearer. Upon closer inspection, his face was exactly the same as Marshal Tianpeng's, but the temperament between his brows was completely different. At first glance, they seemed to be two completely different people.

Marshal Tianpeng had a resolute face, exuding righteousness and majesty. His eyes shone brightly, containing divine light. He was clad in armor, which crackled with lightning, making him awe-inspiring!
The figure below exuded laziness, his eyes darting around, his face cunning. He wore armor similar to that of Marshal Tianpeng, but his helmet was nowhere to be found, his armor was askew, and his breastplate was missing, exposing most of his chest, making him look like a common mountain bandit.

Marshal Tianpeng glanced at it indifferently and said:

"Which word I said is not true?"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"Hey Jade Emperor, if there's anything you need me to do, just say the word, and I'll make sure it's done for you. When I go down to the mortal realm, I'll marry thousands of wives, drink fine wine, eat delicious food, and feast on fish and meat every day. It'll truly be the life of an immortal."

As he spoke, the person below also chuckled, his face full of joy, clearly already envisioning a happy life ahead.

Upon seeing this, Tianpeng's face immediately turned cold. What a disgrace!

However, with the Jade Emperor present, Tianpeng couldn't say much. He snorted coldly and said, "You'd better handle this first. If you don't, I'll personally descend to the mortal realm, capture you, and suppress you here again. Not only that, but I'll also make you suffer the torment of ten thousand swords piercing your heart every day!"

The figure below shuddered upon hearing this. "You wretched wretch, we're family! You're always trying to get back at me, it's so unreasonable!"

"People say that you should help your relatives, not those who are right. You and I are even less important than relatives. It's one thing if you don't help me, but you're helping others to deal with me. Such a mean person. If I were the Jade Emperor, I would never dare to befriend you. I'm afraid that one day you will side with someone else and cause me to lose my life."

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng's face darkened further. A thunderous sound echoed in the void, and in an instant, lightning gathered in the void, and endless pressure swept over, causing the person below to shrink back in fear.

"The Jade Emperor is still here. What you do is not up to you here!"

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng frowned even more deeply. After a moment's thought, he withdrew his oppressive aura, and the lightning in the void instantly dissipated. Tianpeng bowed slightly to the Jade Emperor beside him, then retreated behind him, saying nothing more.

Clearly, the choice was given to the Jade Emperor. At the same time, the Jade Emperor also received a telepathic message from Tianpeng: "Your Majesty, I am well aware of my evil intentions. When I am lazy, I am extremely cunning. If I am not supervised, I am afraid that even if I have the ability, I will not be able to use it."

After a pause, Tianpeng spoke again: "Actually, his skills are the same as mine. Apart from this Thunder Heavenly Dao, he is no less capable than me. He knows all the supernatural powers that I know, without missing a single one!"

“I did not use Heavenly Thunder just now, so how could I suppress him? Logically speaking, we should be evenly matched.”

"But His Majesty also saw that he had no intention of making a move and was too lazy to fight me."

"If there were no restrictions, he probably wouldn't bother fighting human immortals on Xixing Road in the future."

"He won't put in any effort, let alone go all out, unless there are sufficient benefits."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor nodded slightly and then said, "You don't need to sow discord between me and Tianpeng. Tianpeng is in harmony with the Great Dao of Thunder, and I trust him."

The person below curled his lip upon hearing this and was about to speak when the Jade Emperor interrupted him, saying, "There's no need for further words. Tianpeng just said that if you make a move, he will let you leave in the future."

"If they are unwilling, then suppress them once more."

“You and Tianpeng are one, with equal magical power. Unless Tianpeng directly merges with you, he cannot suppress you.”

"But this is the Arctic Exorcism Institute. Here, Tianpeng's power is far greater than yours. If Tianpeng is strong, then you are strong; if you are strong, then Tianpeng is strong. No matter how you cultivate, you will never be able to break through Tianpeng's suppression. For countless eons to come, you will only be suppressed."

How will you choose?

Upon hearing this, the figure below was immediately startled and quickly said, "I'm willing to help, I'm willing to help."

"Is Your Majesty certain that if I complete this matter, you will allow me to leave and live a carefree life in the mortal realm?"

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Of course, I know your personality. You're just a bit lazy and lustful, but you're not a great demon. It's fine to send you to the mortal realm. As long as you don't violate the heavenly rules, you can do whatever you want!"

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"really!"

"Can you swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao?"

The Jade Emperor was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Agreed!"

"Very well, Your Majesty, please make a vow to Heaven!"

The Jade Emperor shook his head and chuckled again, "What a cunning person! I haven't finished speaking yet. It's not too late to make a Heavenly Oath after you've finished!"

The figure below chuckled, his eyes darting around, and said with a laugh, "Your Majesty, please speak, please speak, I'm listening."

Looking at the figures below, the Jade Emperor lost the will to say more and spoke directly:

"The Buddhist sect wants to spread Buddhism to the east and has made a bet with the human race. They need a pilgrim to take three disciples and a mount and set off from Jambudvipa to overcome eighty-one tribulations, obtain the true scriptures, and spread them throughout Jambudvipa."

"The human race will establish eighty-one tribulations to hinder the pilgrims' journey."

"I want you to become one of the disciples of the pilgrim on his journey to the West to obtain the true scriptures, and to help him overcome the eighty-one tribulations..."

Before the Jade Emperor could finish speaking, the figure below interrupted him, saying, "Of course, of course!"

"Your Majesty, please make a solemn oath to Heaven, and I will immediately eliminate the escorts for the pilgrimage."

Seeing the person below with their eyes darting around, the Jade Emperor's face darkened. The Jade Emperor was, after all, the supreme ruler of the Three Realms. He had come to the door to reason with the person, but had been repeatedly interrupted. A hint of anger rose in his heart.

As the Jade Emperor grew angry, the world changed color in an instant, and an invisible pressure descended, instantly forcing the figures below to the ground.

In terms of cultivation, Tianpeng is at the late Quasi-Saint stage, while the Jade Emperor is at the peak Quasi-Saint stage. In terms of divine status, Tianpeng is a marshal and the head of the Four Saints of the North Pole, whose body is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao's thunder and lightning, but the Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms and bears the Heavenly Dao's fortune.

The two are completely incomparable.

The Jade Emperor's anger unleashed a power far exceeding that of Tianpeng.

The figure below's expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly apologized, saying, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please forgive me! Tianpeng and I are one. If I die, Tianpeng will die too. Please forgive me for Tianpeng's merits over the years."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor paused slightly, shook his head, and withdrew his oppressive aura. However, his expression remained gloomy as he directly said, "If you want freedom, I can give it to you. I can also promise that as long as you do not violate the Heavenly Laws, I will not allow Tianpeng to cause you any trouble."

"But there is one thing you must remember: all of this is based on the premise that the pilgrim successfully obtains the true scriptures. If you are not capable enough to protect the pilgrim, then you should not go out."

Having said that, the Jade Emperor raised his head and said, "Heaven's will is above!"

As the Jade Emperor finished speaking, a faint will suddenly rose in the void, which was none other than the revival of the Heavenly Dao.

In short, the will of Heaven has been revealed!

The Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms and the representative of the Heavenly Dao in the Three Realms. Among the Three Realms, he is the being most closely related to the Heavenly Dao.

"Today I swear to the Heavenly Dao that if Marshal Tianpeng's evil intentions assist the pilgrims in obtaining the true scriptures and suppressing the human race, I will release him to the mortal realm to live freely. From now on, unless he violates the Heavenly Laws again, the Heavenly Court will no longer interfere."

Upon hearing this, the figure below immediately showed joy on his face. "That's great!" But the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

"If the pilgrimage fails, I will surely capture him and imprison him in the Northern Exorcism Hall, where he will suffer the torment of ten thousand swords piercing his heart every day. I hope Heaven will bear witness!"

As soon as the Jade Emperor finished speaking, a thunderclap resounded in the void. This was the response of Heaven, clearly indicating that Heaven had remembered the Jade Emperor's vow.

"How could you include this in your oath? Why go to such lengths? How could I not do my part?"

"Now that the human race is powerful, it is the number one power in the Three Realms. Ninety percent of the gods coming and going in the North Pole Exorcism Institute are from the human race, and half of the Heavenly Court is from the human race. How can I possibly defeat the human race?"

"You came here with that Tianpeng just to make me suffer the pain of being pierced by ten thousand swords every day. You are truly not human."

"No, no, I'm not going! I'm absolutely not going!"

"It's quite comfortable staying here. I'll sleep with him for another kalpa!"

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng's evil thoughts turned ugly. He waved his hands repeatedly in refusal and even turned to walk back, clearly not intending to pay any attention to the Jade Emperor.

Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor's face immediately turned extremely gloomy. The goodwill he had gained from Tianpeng was completely exhausted. He, the sovereign of the Three Realms, had even made a heavenly oath for him, yet he still refused to go. Wasn't this just playing with him?
With a thought, the Jade Emperor gathered a dense power of the Heavenly Dao, and golden immortal swords appeared in the void.

In an instant, the sword energy of the Arctic Exorcism Academy surged forth, and endless sharpness swept through the void, causing the evil spirit Tianpeng below to feel a stinging pain all over his body.

At the same time, countless golden runes appeared in the void, and the rich power of the Heavenly Dao gathered into five golden chains, which bound Tianpeng's limbs and head, suspending him in the void.

Ten thousand immortal swords hung before him, their sword energy crisscrossing, causing his immortal body to ache unbearably.

"Let me ask you one question: are you going or not?"

"Go away, go away, I'll go, Your Majesty, please spare me, I'll go, I'll go, okay?"

Looking at the countless immortal swords in the void, Tianpeng's evil thoughts quickly spoke up.

The Jade Emperor snorted coldly and waved his hand. Five chains in the void merged directly into Tianpeng's evil thoughts, locking his Great Luo Dao Fruit.

In an instant, Tianpeng's evil intentions caused his cultivation to plummet, dropping from the late Quasi-Saint stage to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage.

"On the journey to the West, one's cultivation level must not exceed that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. I have restricted your cultivation level, but I have not sealed your true spirit. You shall be reincarnated in the mortal realm with your memories intact."

Having said that, the Jade Emperor moved his mind, and countless immortal swords flew into the place below where Tianpeng's evil thoughts were suppressed, turning into sword imprints that remained in the void. In an instant, the place of imprisonment was filled with sword energy, exuding endless sharpness.

"I will keep these tens of thousands of immortal swords for you. If you fail to succeed, come back and suffer the pain of being pierced by ten thousand swords!"

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and sent the creature down to the mortal realm, where it was reincarnated.

·······
At the same time, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, two figures stood facing each other.

One was dressed in a crimson Taoist robe embroidered with twelve crimson lotus patterns, while the other was dressed in a white Taoist robe. They were none other than the Styx Ancestor and the Bodhi Ancestor.

Ancestor Styx shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, please return. I am merely a Quasi-Saint and do not wish to meddle in the conflict between Saints. Moreover, I still owe Haofeng a favor, so why would I take action against the human race?"

As he spoke, the Styx Ancestor gestured for the guests to leave.

Bodhi Patriarch shook his head slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Styx, you and I are beings from the same era. To be honest, before I obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, I was no match for Fellow Daoist Styx."

"Having reached your level, fellow Daoist, aside from becoming a saint, what other Daoist would you even look at?"

"If you want to become a saint, you have to get involved in the affairs of saints and discuss the Dao with a group of quasi-saints. But if you want to become a saint, the chances are probably slim."

"It is difficult to become a sage, and it is even more difficult to attain a sage's position. Fellow Daoist, you know this all too well."

"Fellow Daoist cultivates the Path of Slaughter, using the slaughter of heaven, earth, and all living beings to condense the Dao Fruits of Heaven, Earth, and Man. If you wish to become a saint through this path, you must slaughter all the cultivators of the primordial world and destroy the primordial world!"

"As you yourself know, this path is not viable. Not to mention the Heavenly Saints, even the Dao Ancestor would not allow you to do this. This path is impossible to succeed."

"One cannot prove the Dao through the Great Dao itself, but can only seek the Primordial Purple Qi and prove the Dao through merit!"

"The Dao Ancestor's layer of pressure, the primordial sages, began with one, rose to three, flourished in five, reached their peak in seven, and reached their zenith in nine!"

"This Primordial Purple Qi can only have seven paths: three for the Three Pure Ones, two for my true self, and two for Nuwa and the human race."

“The Three Pure Ones have deep roots; they cannot be touched, nor can they be moved.”

"The rest are the human race and my Buddhist sect."

"Now both sides have reached a critical moment of life and death, and one side will inevitably perish!"

"If Buddhism perishes, my true self will be dethroned from the holy position. If the human race perishes, Nuwa and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will also find it difficult to retain their holy positions. This is the Primordial Purple Qi that is most likely to be vacated in the prehistoric world now."

"Indeed, compared to the human race, our Buddhist sect is somewhat weak."

"But it is precisely because of this that you have this opportunity. The human race can take over my Buddhist sect without your help. At that time, you will definitely not have a share of the Primordial Purple Qi."

"But things are different in the West. If you, fellow Daoist, make a move, and the West can win, then we will share this Primordial Purple Qi with you!" (End of Chapter)
