Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

"However, I must go back and report this matter to my master."

"The Heavenly Court will never let this go," Shen Gongbao said, holding up his wine cup.

Ying Zheng nodded: "It's far from over. We've only repelled one wave of the Heavenly Court. The chaos of the human race's cycle of reincarnation hasn't been resolved, the root of the trouble hasn't been eliminated, and the human race is still trapped in the Ghost Realm. We still need the help of our fellow disciples."

"No problem, Luoyang is in my hands!" Xiong Paopao patted his chest and assured him.

"Yizhou is mine!" Fahai laughed.

"In that case, let me take charge of all twenty cities in the eastern part of the Tang Dynasty." The Six-Eared Macaque smiled and raised his cup to toast Ying Zheng.

He has already arrived here.

"Hehe, then I'll continue my journey through the Six Paths of Reincarnation." Shen Gongbao narrowed his small eyes, a cold glint in them.

"With the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique in hand, I, Daoist Master, can enter the Cycle of Reincarnation and give them a good beating."

"The concept of a cycle."

"How dare the Heavenly Court act so casually?"

…………

In the mortal realm, within the territory of the Great Tang Dynasty, the disciples were discussing their next move: how to eliminate the root of the chaos.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, in the Lingxiao Palace...
The gods and immortals all wore solemn expressions.

Before them stood a pillar of light, which was drawing down the Heavenly Court's fortune, a glimmer of light from a corner of the Jade Disc of Creation!

Above, there was a cluster of auspicious energy belonging to the Heavenly Court.
It has clearly shrunk in size.

Now there are even fewer than Buddhist temples...

The celestial beings in Heaven were so angry at this scene that their scalps tingled and their whole bodies trembled!
What exactly is going on?

All this elaborate planning over such a long period of time, wasn't it all just to reap the fortune of the human race?
But why now!
My luck has dropped again!

"That Ying Zheng!"

"These three emperors!"

"How dare they interfere? How dare they disrupt cause and effect!"

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor's face was ashen, almost dripping with water. He gripped the armrest of his throne with one hand, leaving five deep finger marks.

They put a lot of effort into their plan, but failed again?
That Qin Shi Huang!

The faces of all the celestial beings were extremely grim, their faces ashen, completely unprepared for this scene!
"Report!"

"The Barefoot Immortal and the Antarctic Immortal have returned! They request an audience!"

A celestial soldier came to report, and all the immortals in the Lingxiao Palace frowned.

Where did the two of them go before?

Weren't they supposed to go down to the mortal realm to deal with Ying Zheng? Why were they nowhere to be seen? Why are they only returning now?

However, when the immortals saw the Barefoot Immortal and the Antarctic Immortal, they were all stunned!
The two men were covered in blood and riddled with wounds!
The Barefoot Immortal has lost one arm, and his entire body is covered in wounds, densely packed, with some areas even exposing the bone!
The Antarctic Immortal's abdomen was cut open, where runes and magical power intertwined, desperately trying to repair itself.

He also had a wound on his neck; he was almost beheaded!
There was a huge, bloody hole in his chest, which was completely exposed from front to back, and his original heart had long since disappeared!

Before the surrounding deities could ask any questions, the Antarctic Immortal clutched his chest and angrily declared:
"This Ying Zheng is in cahoots with Ksitigarbha!"

"On our way down, we met Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

Ksitigarbha?
The immortals were taken aback, then their eyes widened.

"You mean, you were stopped by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva when you went down?" Li Jing looked up in shock.

Barefoot Immortal nodded, his face extremely grim: "We were just preparing to descend to the mortal realm to suppress Ying Zheng and quell the unrest, but we were stopped by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva not long after we left the South Heavenly Gate."

"He captured me and Antarctica and took us to a small, secret place. It was extremely dangerous. If Antarctica hadn't fought desperately at the last minute, we might have really died inside." The Barefoot Immortal said with a gloomy face.

"This Ying Zheng is definitely in cahoots with Ksitigarbha!"

Ksitigarbha and Qin Shi Huang... are in cahoots?

It seems that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva went to Mount Ling on the instructions of the mastermind behind the scenes.

That is to say...

The Antarctic Immortal looked up, his eyes burning with rage, divine light bursting forth, and he gritted his teeth!

"All of this was orchestrated by the mastermind behind it all!!" Upon hearing this,
The entire Heavenly Court,

There was a sudden silence.

After an unknown amount of time, fierce auras finally rose into the sky from the Lingxiao Palace!
They weren't the three emperors of the human race?

Another mastermind behind it all!!
In the Lingxiao Palace, all the immortals were so angry their scalps tingled!
It's that same mastermind again!

How dare he! !

Were we outmaneuvered by that mastermind again this time?!
The mastermind behind it all!

It's this mastermind again!

Doesn't Ying Zheng exude the aura of a human emperor?

The gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court trembled upon hearing this!

If they had known it was the mastermind behind it all along, why would they have retreated?

Just kill him outright!

As a result, most of the gods who descended to the mortal realm perished, and even the Investiture of the Gods could not save them; their souls were destroyed!

"Suppress and kill!"

"Suppress him completely!"

In the Heavenly Court, the God of Literature looked up, his gaze terrifying!
This time, the Heavenly Court suffered a huge loss when it descended to the mortal realm; even Venus was left with only a soul and a spirit!
That Ying Zheng was too ruthless!
The impact it will have is immeasurable!

Previously, 200,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were massacred in the East Sea!
Now they have swept through the Heavenly Court's immortals, crushing the human race's fortune that they had painstakingly gathered!
When have they, the mighty Heavenly Court, ever suffered such humiliation?
Unprecedented in history!

"Capture Ying Zheng and bring him here for severe interrogation!"

"Find the mastermind behind this, even if it means sacrificing the very foundation of the Heavenly Court, we must make him pay the price!"

"We can't delay any longer. The mastermind behind this must be punished, or the Heavenly Court will suffer even greater losses!"

"As a last resort, we can ask a few peak Grand Luo cultivators, or even Quasi-Saints, to take action!!!"

Above the Lingxiao Palace, amidst swirling celestial clouds, many usually calm and composed deities became enraged, each expressing their own opinions.

Without exception, they all target the mastermind behind the scenes.

Finally, they even brought up the idea of ​​asking a Quasi-Saint to help!
But at this moment, it was the Jade Emperor who calmed down.

His robes fluttered as he sat atop the Lingxiao Palace, his body covered in symbols, clearly enraged to the extreme. His pupils gleamed with an awe-inspiring power.

"This isn't the mastermind behind it all; at most, it's one of his people."

The Jade Emperor suddenly looked up and uttered a single sentence that silenced the entire Heavenly Court.

"Ying Zheng must be a disciple of the mastermind behind this, sent specifically to stop my Xuanmen from reaping the fortune."

"It's obvious that he doesn't want either the Buddhist sect or our Xuanmen sect to compete for the destiny!"

"Instead, they want to reap the fortune of humanity for themselves!!"

The Jade Emperor's eyes shone brightly, his divine light was dazzling to the extreme, and auspicious clouds engulfed the entire Lingxiao Palace!

"Fellow immortals, do not let momentary anger throw you into disarray!"

"Ying Zheng is now a universally recognized figure of faith in the hearts of the human race."

"If we were to kill Ying Zheng now..."

"What will happen?"

"The entire human race will be hostile to my Xuanmen!"

"This means that the fate of humanity will forever be out of reach of my Xuanmen!"

The Jade Emperor stretched out one hand, raised a finger, and spoke each word with brilliant light, his eyes gleaming with wisdom!
"It's obvious that the mastermind behind this is waiting for our Heavenly Court to make a move!"

"After we kill Ying Zheng and the human race becomes hostile to the Heavenly Court."

"Then he will take action and reap the fortune of the human race!"

The voice of the Jade Emperor resounded in all directions.

All the celestial beings in the heavenly court understood what was happening, and their expressions immediately turned extremely ugly!
So that’s it!
In other words, Ying Zheng was merely bait thrown out by the mastermind behind the scenes? (End of Chapter)
