"But the Crown Prince's investiture ceremony will be held at the Nuwa Temple. Won't that cause any problems?"
Queen Jiang asked.
"No problem, she's probably hiding at home right now and doesn't want to go out at all."
Ao Yifan pursed his lips and said.
After all, that Nuwa saint was the only one who had ever made him suffer a setback since he came to this world.
……
With the investiture ceremony for Crown Prince Yin Jiao imminent, the entire city of Chaoge is on edge.
Eight hundred feudal lords entered Chaoge; the last time this happened was when Emperor Xin ascended the throne.
Logically speaking, the ceremony for the investiture of the crown prince should not be so grand.
However, this time it was a royal decree issued by the king himself, and none of the eight hundred vassal lords dared to disobey.
"Your Majesty, I, your humble sister, greet you!"
Finally, Lady Yin and her family met Emperor Xin.
"Yes, I know you've done a good job at Chentang Pass all these years. I'm very satisfied!"
Di Xin nodded, then looked at the little Nezha beside Lady Yin.
"This must be Nezha. He's even more handsome and more capable than your two older brothers."
Emperor Xin said.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. This child is just a bit naughty, but I will teach him well."
"That's what Madam Yin said."
For some reason, Lady Yin felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the king who had once loved her the most.
"Yes, the ceremony is about to begin. After the ceremony, let Nezha get to know his brother better. In the future, his brother will need him to assist him in governing the country."
Di Xin said in a deep voice.
After saying this, Di Xin led everyone toward the temple of the Goddess Nuwa.
"My lord, don't you think that my brother seems to have changed a lot since we last met?"
Watching Di Xin's retreating figure, Lady Yin whispered.
"Perhaps this is the necessary growth for a king?"
Ao Yifan said, "However, judging from his attitude towards Nezha, it can be seen that the King still loves you very much. After all, the King did not pursue the matter of Nezha killing the personal guard, did he?"
"That's true!"
Madam Yin nodded.
Eight hundred feudal lords followed Emperor Xin to the temple of the Goddess Nuwa.
The location for this grand ceremony was personally chosen by the Marquis of Xibo, who was skilled in divination, and the detailed procedures were also reviewed by his uncle, Bigan, to ensure that everything went smoothly.
At the same time, the gates of the Nuwa Palace, which had been closed for many years, trembled slightly.
The sage Nuwa, who was taking a short rest, was filled with gratitude.
"It's a grand sacrificial ceremony for humans. Honestly, it's such a hassle. Can't you just leave me alone if it's not necessary?"
As a seasoned otaku, Nuwa deeply regrets why she became obsessed with figurines in the first place.
They simply shaped some clay and created such a troublesome race.
Nowadays, she mostly blocks the senses when she worships at temples in various places.
However, such a grand sacrificial ceremony as that of a human royal family would shake even her Nuwa Palace, making it impossible to pretend not to know.
"Troublesome, so troublesome!"
The tremors in Nuwa Palace became increasingly noticeable. Nuwa could no longer pretend not to know, so she opened a crack in the door and looked down into the mortal realm.
"Huh? Huh? Huh?"
Suddenly, the sage Nuwa opened her eyes wide and looked at the sacrificial ceremony in the human world with a shocked expression.
No, to be more precise, it was looking at someone at the ceremony.
Even the slightest emotional fluctuation of a sage has a tremendous impact on the mortal realm.
As soon as Ao Yifan's left foot stepped into the Nuwa Palace, the entire palace shook violently. At the same time, a gust of wind swirled, revealing the exquisite statue of the Nuwa saint behind a light veil.
At the same time, the two figures hidden in the clouds couldn't help but exchange a glance.
"Senior brother, what is the Sage Nuwa?"
One of the figures asked the person next to him.
"I don't understand. We haven't even used any methods yet, and it seems that the Sage Nuwa has already made a move."
said another.
"Then, do we still need to take action against the Human Emperor?"
"No rush! The Human Emperor possesses the destiny of the human race. Even if we slightly influence him, it could damage our own destiny. Now that the great calamity is about to begin, we naturally need to preserve more strength. If the Sage Nuwa can take the initiative to act, we naturally don't need to do anything unnecessary."
"Hehe, even the heavens are on our side. It's no wonder that our Western religion is destined to flourish!"
The sound gradually faded away, and the two figures in the clouds once again concealed themselves.
Meanwhile, inside the Nuwa Temple, Ao Yifan reached out and pulled Lady Yin into his arms, shielding her from the surrounding cold wind.
As for Nezha, the boy has grown up and needs to learn to face the challenges of life, so he naturally doesn't need Ao Yifan's special care.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
Leaning against Ao Yifan's chest, Madam Yin couldn't help but ask.
Ao Yifan, however, had no problem. His eyes gleamed with golden light as he stared straight at the statue of Nuwa in the temple.
The next moment, Ao Yifan's gaze seemed to pierce through the thirty-three heavens, reaching the Nuwa Palace above the thirty-three heavens, where he saw that holy figure.
Their eyes met, and even the Sage Nuwa was slightly stunned. She naturally recognized Ao Yifan; he was the same person from back then. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so excited, causing such a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth.
"Can he see me?"
A thought suddenly came to the mind of the saint Nuwa.

"How is this possible? Why do I feel like he can see me?"
In an instant, an absurd thought surged into the mind of the saint Nuwa.
The next moment, for the first time ever, a hint of shyness welled up in the heart of the Sage Nuwa.
There's no way around it; she's a seasoned homebody, and the Nuwa Palace is full of her maids. So, the Nuwa Saint, who stays in the Nuwa Palace year-round and rarely leaves, wears very revealing clothing.
"If he can really see me, wouldn't that mean he's seen everything?"
A hint of shame and annoyance arose, and the emotions of the sage Nuwa fluctuated more and more.
As a result, the tremors at the Nuwa Temple were growing stronger and stronger.
"Sage, please calm your anger! Sage, please calm your anger!"
Bi Gan, who presided over the ceremony, led a group of ministers in kneeling and praying to the sage to calm his anger.
"Humph!"
However, Di Xin, who was standing at the very front, snorted coldly and said, "What kind of saint dares to play tricks on me!"
As he spoke, Di Xin drew his long sword from his waist and pointed it directly at the statue of the sage in front of him.
"I command you to stop immediately, or I will order your temple to be destroyed!"
As Di Xin finished speaking, the Yin Shang fortune of the entire Chaoge City began to gather, transforming into a purple cloud that enveloped the Nuwa Temple.
"Senior brother, it seems we don't need to lift a finger. This Human Emperor is even braver than us!"
"Hehe, that's only right. The Yin Shang dynasty is nearing its end, and the rise of our Western Sect is unstoppable. Alright, let's leave now. This purple cloud of fortune is gathering, and if we stay too long, we might be affected."
"Yes, senior brother!"
Regardless of the two of them, Nuwa herself was quite angry in the Nuwa Palace.
The dramatic ups and downs were quite a sight for Ao Yifan.
"Damn it, that damned Di Xin, how dare he threaten me!"
Nuwa, the sage, felt an urge to rush out and teach the other party a lesson.
However, before she could make a move, a telepathic message suddenly flew into her Nuwa Palace.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, please calm down. The great calamity is about to begin, and we need to proceed slowly and carefully. We must not ruin the grand plan of the Investiture of the Gods at this time!"
The one who transmitted the message was Yuanshi Tianzun, and his words gradually calmed Nuwa down.
That terrifying aura of purple clouds would likely have a significant impact even on a saint.
"However, although I can't directly attack you, but..."
The sage Nuwa thought to herself, and then she summoned the Demon-Summoning Banner.
"Emperor Xin is protected by the aura of the Human Emperor, so ordinary demons can't even get close to him. I've got it! The three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb were born under the influence of the Emperor's aura, so they are not affected by the Human Emperor's aura. I'll show you the consequences of offending this Saint!"
As she spoke, the Sage Nuwa pointed at the Demon-Summoning Banner in the air. The next moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and three figures appeared in front of the Sage Nuwa.
"Are you ready to take action?"
Seeing all this, Ao Yifan thought to himself.
Ao Yifan naturally couldn't just stand by and watch the three demons affect his brother-in-law's dynasty. After all, the Shang dynasty was ultimately going to be passed down to his own son.
"So, even though it's dangerous, I have no choice but to offer myself up to the tiger. Brother-in-law, look how good I am to you. As for the Queen's matter, we're even!"
Ao Yifan thought to himself, he felt that he had done his best for the fate of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
"No, Your Majesty!"
