I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

The Heavenly Court in the celestial realm is just like an imperial dynasty on earth.

The change of dynasties in the human world is nothing more than a change of emperor; there are changes, yet it seems that there are not many changes.

Fortunately, the brocade pouch Lin Yi left for Jiang Linglong already contained answers to several questions that Jiang Linglong might not know how to answer.

This point falls exactly within the scope of Lin Yi's answer.

"There are many things that we can't do until we've decided on them. The path is forged step by step. Overthrowing the Heavenly Court is just the first step in our progress."

This is called avoiding arguments by using avoidance.

If things really escalate into a confrontation, this negotiation will not be able to proceed smoothly.

Seeing that Jiang Linglong was not easily fooled, Dong Wanggong asked again, "If I disagree, will you harm my Daoist partner?"

"Aren't you afraid that by forcing me like this, I'll pretend to agree and then turn against you?"

"Of course I'm not afraid of that."

Jiang Linglong said calmly, "I think you can guess that everything that is happening at this moment can be seen by the gods in the celestial realm."

If you surrender, you will naturally have to pay a pledge of allegiance.

Only if you personally kill these gods and immortals you brought with you will we believe you, or rather, it won't matter whether we believe you or not.

"you!"

This move was too ruthless, and even the virtuous Dongwanggong couldn't help but feel angry.

"You were so upright and honorable back then, how did you become like this?"

The Eastern King was somewhat heartbroken, for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was the most talented junior among all the gods in the celestial realm.

Because she was once a female immortal, the Queen Mother of the West gave her a lot of guidance. Although they did not have the title of master and disciple, their relationship was quite close.

Her current ruthlessness and cruelty naturally displeased Dong Wanggong.

Jiang Linglong sneered and said, "Why I changed should be asked of this corrupt Heavenly Court."

Justice resides in the hearts of the people. Because evil people are ruthless, those of us who want to do good must be even more ruthless than them.

Dongwanggong: "..."

When this was mentioned, even the Eastern King Duke was speechless.

He couldn't really blame Jiang Linglong, after all, she was also a victim.

Seeing his silence, Jiang Linglong didn't dwell on the topic. She simply said calmly, "Half an hour is an opportunity for you. If you insist on remaining loyal to the Heavenly Court, we will get serious after half an hour."

The question remains: faced with the same predicament, what choice would the Queen Mother of the West make?

Dongwanggong: "..."

He really doesn't know how now.

Logically speaking, the Queen Mother of the West wouldn't choose to betray the Heavenly Court, but if Lin Yi uses her life as leverage and then uses Lingling and Lingyi as intermediaries, this...

"Senior, you should just surrender."

Xihe hadn't said a word since she was knocked away, and now it was her turn.

When the moment of truth arrived, Xihe was the most unwilling, and the traitor was the one who least wanted to be discovered.

But now that things have come to this, she has no way back and can only go down a dark path.

The more traitors there are, the safer she will be.

Maybe we can actually win?

When Dongwanggong saw Xihe, he was speechless.

But psychologically, they have already begun to lean towards surrender.

If even the Great Celestial Venerable's daughter has betrayed them, why can't they betray them too?

Meanwhile, Zero Zero and Zero One were also trying to persuade the Queen Mother of the West to surrender.

They used their spiritual power to help the Queen Mother of the West recover from her injuries. Their initial sneak attack was only to temporarily incapacitate her so that she could listen to them properly.

Now that the Queen Mother of the West's mind is in turmoil, she naturally doesn't care anymore.

Of course, the moon blade was not pulled out, and it continued to seal the divine power of the Queen Mother of the West.

The two sisters took turns trying to persuade the Queen Mother of the West to surrender.

In the celestial realm, all the gods watching the live stream were dumbfounded.

The Eastern Heavenly Emperor shook his head repeatedly as he watched.

These people are terrible at raising children; their daughters are all disobedient.

Fortunately, his Bixia is well-behaved and sensible...

Chapter 621 She died so quickly

In the mortal realm, the two most important battlefields have not yet seen any fighting, but in the celestial realm and the Heavenly Court, different factions have already begun to fight.

The gods of the celestial realm haven't moved from their positions for many years.

Many immortals and gods have given up and given up, while many others have been working hard to pursue higher levels of enlightenment.

Over time, two major factions gradually emerged: the "lying-down party" and the "rolling-up party."

Those who choose to "lie flat" are mostly related to powerful figures; they know there's little room for advancement, so they enjoy their lives and are doing quite well.

The King of Scrolls, on the other hand, rose to power through his own hard work and determination.

In this situation, Juan Wang realized that no matter how much he rolled up, he couldn't compare to those who lay flat, after all, the word "god" comes first and "immortal" comes second.

Despite his diligent cultivation, the King of Scrolls could not obtain the rights and status he deserved, which made the conflict extremely acute.

To balance the contradictions, the Heavenly Court introduced the Heavenly Rules, which determined the divine positions based on merit, such as expanding territory, completing Heavenly Court tasks, or subduing demons and monsters.

As a result, the "lying-down" faction was no match for the Scroll King, and he began to seize many important positions in the Heavenly Court.

But some of the most enthusiastic fans eventually become big shots and stop contributing, settling into a more relaxed, passive lifestyle.

The "Lying-Down God" and the "Rolling-Up God" can transform into each other, and the two camps objectively exist.

The "lying-down" immortals hope their interests remain unshaken, while the "Scroll King" hopes for more room for advancement.

After the incident involving the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei, the two factions have been fighting tooth and nail, and naturally they won't miss this opportunity to clash.

Only when those at the top step down can those at the bottom rise up.

Therefore, the gods of the scroll system launched a frenzied attack on the two saints, believing that they might be cooperating with Lin Yi in an act.

Did Lin Yi and Zhang Jiao really not notice anything while they were fighting in the Outer Heaven?

The lying-down deities then requested the Great Heavenly Venerable to issue a decree. Once the decree was issued, the two saints would realize it was a scam and naturally wouldn't fall for it. This was also for the sake of the greater good.

If the two saints were to truly betray the Heavenly Court, it would be a significant loss for the Heavenly Court.

This is also because they genuinely don't know how to clear their name...

In fact, this is simply a difference caused by different perspectives.

The gods in the celestial realm have a global perspective and can see everything clearly.

However, the two saints are viewed from the fog of war perspective.

They did discover this when Lin Yi was fighting Zhang Jiao.

However, the battle ended too quickly.

When the two were surrounded and the battle was over, they naturally suspected that Lin Yi had staged this scene to put them at ease, which made them feel even more that the other was in danger.

Who would have thought that Lin Yizhen went out to fight and hasn't come back yet?

The gods of Heaven were making a ruckus, but the Great Heavenly Venerable said casually, "I also want to know if, when faced with a sufficiently terrifying threat, even the most powerful and influential immortals are capable of betrayal?"

When the Great Celestial Venerable uttered these words, the gods of Heaven were all thrown into turmoil.

This means that the Great Celestial Venerable will lose trust in all the gods.

They all felt that the main reason was Xihe's betrayal.

If even Xihe can betray us, who else can we trust?

The most uneasy were the Heavenly Empress and the Heavenly Venerable's eldest son, the Crimson Feather Golden Crow, who served by the side of the Great Heavenly Venerable.

He once controlled the power of the sun, but after Xihe was born, he relinquished the power to her and was promoted to one of the six Venerables, known as the Crimson Feather Immortal Venerable.

Seeing Xihe and Wangshu betray them, the Empress and Chiyu were the most furious, as they were worried that the Great Celestial Venerable would lose trust in them as a result.

Therefore, they are eager to prove their loyalty.

"Your Majesty, Xihe must have been coerced. She must be feigning compliance, not truly betraying us!"

"Please obey my command, Your Majesty! I am willing to descend to the mortal realm and slay the traitor!"

The Great Celestial Venerable glanced at them and said calmly, "You don't need to be impatient. Just come with me and watch this good show."

The implication is that he intends to judge the loyalty of the gods and immortals through the choice between the two saints.

All the immortals and gods were dumbfounded.

Given the current situation, the probability of the two saints being turned is too high.

The Great Celestial Venerable could have prevented the betrayal of the two saints with just a decree, but instead used it to invite everyone to witness a test of loyalty.

For a moment, the gods were also filled with mixed thoughts.

Most of the gods and immortals prayed in their hearts that the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother would uphold their principles and never betray them.

Of course, if they were in each other's shoes, they would feel that betrayal was the choice that best served their interests.

On one side are their own family and relatives, and their own lives; on the other side is merely the Heavenly Court.

The gods and immortals paid the most attention to the Queen Mother of the West, because she had been persuaded to surrender by her daughter and was the most likely to do so.

However, no matter what Zero Zero and Zero One said, the Queen Mother of the West did not agree to surrender.

Throughout, she looked at Lingyi and Lingling with an unusually indifferent gaze, as if they weren't her own daughters.

This also saddened Zero Zero and Zero One.
