Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1671: A Super Brain is Required to Save the Fungus People

Nezha and Sun Wukong naturally did not fight.

Now is not the time to cause trouble in Heaven. Times have changed, the occasion is not right, and no one is in the mood to fight.

Phoenix didn't know if he could continue to be the Emperor of Heaven after achieving the Dao of Hunyuan, so he intended to train Nezha to take over. However, this guy was not a patient person, so Phoenix arranged for him to rotate between various departments and visit all functional departments. After gaining personal experience, he would have a pretty good understanding of various duties in Heaven, so that he would not be deceived by the people below when he took over in the future. Recently, Nezha was on duty at the South Gate of Heaven.

Of course, he couldn't fight since he had a mission to accomplish. Besides, Nezha didn't think it was fun to bully a Xuanxian who was suffering from all kinds of injuries.

Sun Wukong had a similar idea. He came to the Jade Emperor to appeal, and now was not a good time to fight. And there was no need to think too much. Even if he had to waste his time and build up his strength again, he still couldn't beat Nezha. Why should he humiliate himself?

He asked, "How do I register?"

Nezha perked up a bit, scratched his head, and said, "You still hold the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven, so you're considered an official of the Heavenly Court. Come, register as one of them."

Name, Dharma name, teacher, hometown, all kinds of information were written down.

The monkey was a little relieved. If he didn't have Tang Seng as a shield, it would be difficult to write about his master.

Now it’s okay, don’t ask, if you ask, I’m a Buddhist disciple.

Nezha handled the matter impartially, stamping and signing, breathing out Samadhi Fire from his mouth, and refining a jade talisman for passage on the spot.

"Here, your jade pass is valid for seven years and may not be lost or lent. The jade pass allows you to visit Tongming Palace, Gouchen Palace, Xinghan Palace, Jiuhua Yuque, Wulao Palace, etc. You are prohibited from entering Yaochi Palace, Doumu Palace, Guanghan Palace, and Fusang Palace and Suyao Palace."

Like an emotionless robot, Nezha recounted the recent rules of Heaven, and then continued to sleep on the table.

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment and decided not to disturb him.

The architectural layout of the Heavenly Palace has not changed much from before. At most, the Emperor of Heaven's daily office has been moved from the Lingxiao Palace to the Tongming Palace. The punishment of the fungus people comes from the Emperor of Heaven, so naturally they have to ask the Emperor of Heaven to solve this matter.

Sun Wukong strolled to the Tongming Palace. Along the way, he saw a few familiar faces from time to time. He didn't care about the surprise in their eyes. He greeted those he was close to and didn't even look at those he was not close to.

"Hey, what are you doing!" The handsome Lao Sha was on duty at Tongming Palace these days. He spotted the suspicious and cunning Sun Wukong at a glance, and signaled several warriors in front of the palace to draw their weapons and be on guard.

Sun Wukong thought about it and remembered that he had fought against this man during his rampage in Heaven. He had a vague impression of him: "General Curtain Roller?"

Lao Sha sneered, "I am blessed by the Jade Emperor's kindness. He has appointed me as the General Protecting the Country and the People, and I am in charge of guarding the stars in the sky and the Tongming Palace."

That means that I am no longer the general in charge of the curtain.

Sun Wukong’s thoughts turned around several times. He was a curtain-roller before, and now he is a gatekeeper. What’s the difference?
He had no good feelings towards Lao Sha, but he also had no bad feelings towards him. They were just ordinary strangers.

"Then please ask the Protector General to inform me that I have something important to discuss with the Jade Emperor."

Lao Sha didn't know that his fate took a turn at a critical moment. The diligent and honest Lao Sha stayed in the Heavenly Palace to work, while the cunning and treacherous Lao Sha was demoted to the mortal world. He had no ill feelings towards Sun Wukong, and now he was just doing his job.

These days, not everyone can see the Jade Emperor if they want to. If any heavenly soldier or general wants to see the Jade Emperor, the Phoenix will be exhausted to death.

Unfortunately, the position of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven did not have a specific grade in the Haotian era, and it was unknown whether the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was high or low. Considering this guy's crazy history of making trouble in the Heavenly Palace at the slightest disagreement, Lao Sha felt that he should be more cautious.

I'll go ask. "Wait a minute, I'll go report it."

Not long after, he came out again: "Go in, the Jade Emperor wants to see you."

The monkey bowed and said, "Thank you very much!"

Inside the Tongming Hall.

This was the first time that Sun Wukong and Phoenix met. Unlike Haotian, who always acted with dignity as the Jade Emperor, this Jade Emperor gave him a more neutral feeling, a kind of calmness that was not affected by external things or by himself.

"Are you Sun Wukong? What's the matter?" Phoenix was dressed in a very neutral style, and the monkey didn't see the relationship between her and Moonlight.

The monkey saluted carelessly: "Your Majesty."

He recounted the story of the fungus man.

Fenghuang originally thought it was something that happened during the journey to obtain scriptures. Oh my god, Yinshan? Where did you go?
There are too many things in the ancient times and the area is too vast. She would never come across things like what happened on a tree.

She can't just accept whatever Sun Wukong says, she needs to know the truth.

She calculated with her fingers and found the result a bit strange. These were not things that happened during the Haotian period, but things that happened during the previous dynasty.

To be honest, Dong Wanggong, Di Jun and the other human emperors have all suppressed the giants.

Throughout history, giants have always been the targets of oppression in various myths and legends, both in China and abroad.

Dong Wanggong thought they were unruly and said, "I can't control the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, so can't I control you giants?"

Di Jun believed that the giants and the witch clan were natural allies, and that whoever struck first would be the strongest, while whoever struck later would suffer.

The human emperor's idea is simpler: only by suppressing the giants can the human race gain more living space.

The Fangfeng clan, whom Dayu beheaded, was a giant. Fangfeng had accompanied Gun in controlling the floods and remained with Dayu during his reign. Even if he had no merit, he had certainly made contributions, right? After Dayu successfully controlled the floods and summoned the gods to Kuaiji, he had Fangfeng, a veteran official, killed and executed simply because he was late, and even displayed his corpse after his death.

From Fangfeng's perspective, that was really unfair. From the human race's perspective, the giants ate a lot and occupied a lot of land. If they weren't eliminated, how could the human race expand?

There is no need to say these words to the monkey, and it is difficult to explain them.

Phoenix said, "What do you want me to do?"

Sun Wukong proposed a solution: "Your Majesty, why don't you issue an edict to pardon those fungus people and allow them to reunite with the little people."

"It's not difficult to issue an order. The sins of the Fungus People are committed by the previous dynasty, not this one. I can pardon them."

Phoenix continued, "It's just that Lilliput's land is limited. If it suddenly accommodates a population several times its own, are you sure they can all get along harmoniously? Also, what about the female tree? Right now, thanks to the fungi, her vitality is constantly being fed into the earth veins. Without them, within three hundred years, the Primordial Immortal will discover her existence. Without the ability to protect herself, she'll simply become a spiritual material in the Immortal's treasury."

"This" Sun Wukong was a little dumbfounded. He racked his brains and tried to use his "super brain" to think of a way to break the deadlock.
