Watching Nezha, the story of Nezha's suicide in the Investiture of the Gods brought tears to my

Li Chang made an "uh" sound and scratched his face with his fingers.

He did want to revitalize the Heavenly Court, and even specifically sought out Nuwa to restore her primordial spirit, but...

He, Venus, wasn't the one cultivating the Way of Balance! He also coveted this Great Dao!

……

Springtime shines brightly in Pigsy's world.

The forest was in chaos. Seeing that the Nine-Lives Cat was about to escape, Pigsy hurriedly shouted to Venus, "Quickly use your Universal Balance!"

Given their current situation, they are no match for the Nine-Lives Demon Cat.

However, if Venus can balance out the Nine-Lives Demon Cat's cultivation level, things will be different. Perhaps they can defeat the demon cat today!

Pigsy was genuinely relieved that Venus, the civil official, was the number one killing god in Heaven.

Venus looked completely bewildered. "I don't know how!"

Upon hearing this, Pigsy was even more confused. He pointed at the sky and asked, "Aren't you Venus?"

"...I am Venus." Venus looked at his other self. "The problem is, I am not the Venus in the sky."

……

Li Changgeng, wielding a long sword, approached Lu Ya, who was now powerless to fight back.

Suddenly, the figure of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared in the Nine Heavens, and a huge hand pressed down on Li Changgeng.

"Lu Ya's fate concerns a great calamity for heaven and earth; it must not be acted upon rashly."

Li Changgeng closed his eyes briefly. "Then I will draw upon Lu Ya's karmic afflictions and take his place in the tribulation! This will prevent the Heavenly Dao from interfering with Lu Ya's death!"

[Upon finishing speaking, Li Changgeng unleashed a surge of energy, drawing in the tribulation within him. The surging energy caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and the four seas to shake!]

[Li Changgeng, wielding his sword with both hands, swiftly severed Lu Ya's head!]

……

The entire universe was utterly shocked and overwhelmed!

"I originally thought that Li Changgeng, with the talent of a civil official, was already extraordinary, having defeated the demon army one after another on the battlefield and achieved remarkable military exploits."

"Unexpectedly, he not only killed Lu Ya with the Great Dao of Balance, but also resisted the obstruction of Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

Hongjun Daozu, that's the Daozu who merged with the Heavenly Dao! He represents the Heavenly Dao!

Among those who cultivate, how many can defy the heavens? How many have the courage to oppose the Dao Ancestor! And how many even managed to kill the person the Dao Ancestor originally intended to protect!

He truly deserves to be called the number one killing god in Heaven!

……

Zixiao Palace.

Lao Tzu sat cross-legged, his expression calm, barely suppressing the upturned corners of his mouth.

His disciple is truly remarkable; he is skilled in combat, cultivates the unprecedented and terrifying Great Dao of Balance, and can even withstand the Dao Ancestor.

The thought that such an outstanding talent, the Heavenly Court's number one killing god, would be his future disciple made Laozi (Taishang Laojun) want to curl the corners of his mouth.

"Senior brother..." The Tongtian Sect Leader stared at Laozi and asked in a low voice, "Are you very happy?"

Laozi's lips curled downwards, and under the gaze of Tongtian and Yuanshi, or rather, the Dao Ancestor above, he solemnly said:

"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense. My rebellious disciple is audacious and reckless. When I take him as my disciple in the future, I will definitely give him a good scolding."

The Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable secretly rolled their eyes.

Since he's a traitor, why don't you refuse to accept him?

……

Senior brother, oh senior brother, the world.

Finished!

Li Changshou's lips twitched as he looked at Hongjun Daozu in the sky, then at himself in the sky, where he had revealed all his trump cards.

Heavens above! Why did you have to expose me at this time?!

The illusory image of the Dao Ancestor loomed overhead, roaring, "You not only claim to have a 98% chance of surviving the tribulation again, but you're also hiding your true strength, are you?!"

"Just...just a tiny bit of my trump card," Li Changshou said nervously and breathlessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the calamity that had already dissipated in the sky gathered again, with lightning flashing and surging!

A bolt of purple lightning struck down towards Li Changshou's head!

"boom!"

Li Changshou was struck down to the ground, with residual lightning still flickering on his body.

"This is just too unlucky."

He looked up at the sky, and the fact that it forced him to reveal all his cards meant something bad was definitely going to happen.

No! He needs to prepare ninety-eight more plans.

Even if he is the number one killing god in the Heavenly Court, he is still a civil official, and civil officials must seek stability!

…………

The video ended quickly!

The visuals on the sky continued to change.

The chubby Taiyi Zhenren and the tall, thin Shen Gongbao from the world of Demon Child appear on either side of the screen.

Why did Yuanshi Tianzun choose Taiyi Zhenren as one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, instead of Shen Gongbao?

[Taiyi Zhenren's indulgence in alcohol and laziness led to the accident, and aside from his glorious moment of resisting the heavenly tribulation, he was merely a peacemaker, trying to appease Nezha; he seemed less effective than the projector pig.]

Shen Gongbao is more hardworking, capable, and resourceful; if the initial task had been assigned to him, it would have been much easier to resolve.

Why didn't the Celestial Venerable choose Shen Gongbao, who was responsible, ambitious, and hardworking, as one of the Twelve Golden Immortals? Was it really because he was a leopard?

...

This topic is highly controversial throughout the myriad realms, and it instantly sparked a lot of discussion.

"Yes, why did Yuanshi Tianzun choose Shen Gongbao instead of Taiyi Zhenren?"

“Prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain; there are countless examples of people who are not of our kind and whose hearts are different.”

“Shen Gongbao’s background already made him lose a lot of points in Yuanshi Tianzun’s mind.”

"Even though Shen Gongbao is hardworking and capable, and seems more reliable, it's a pity that his background is not good."

"The Chan Sect has always been like that!"

"I think Yuanshi Tianzun might have lost his mind after Yin Jiao drained his magic power!"

Many people unanimously admire Shen Gongbao.

After all, after the worldview of Nezha was revealed, Shen Gongbao's decisive and ruthless image was deeply rooted in people's hearts, especially the scene of him fighting three dragons by himself, which made his popularity soar!

Leaving aside Shen Gongbao from other worlds.

Shen Gongbao in the world of "The Demon Child" is indeed a very powerful person.

In contrast, Taiyi Zhenren appears somewhat inferior.

Not only did he make all sorts of jokes, but he also got into trouble because of drinking, completely losing his majestic image as a sage.

...

The prequel to the story of the Lotus Lantern, the Golden Light Cave.

Yu Ding Zhenren met Taiyi Zhenren and Shen Gongbao for comparison.

He was overjoyed and grinned as he approached Taiyi Zhenren.

"Junior brother, why do you think Master chose you instead of Shen Gongbao back then?"

Taiyi Zhenren rolled his eyes at Yuding Zhenren: "Don't confuse him with me. No one's going to steal my Twelve Golden Immortals!"

In the world of Demon Child, Taiyi Zhenren and Shen Gongbao compete for the title of Twelve Golden Immortals.

However, Taiyi Zhenren in other worlds has never competed with Shen Gongbao.

The only thing Shen Gongbao ever fought for was Jiang Ziya's Investiture of the Gods.

Who knows how he ended up arguing with Shen Gongbao over the Twelve Golden Immortals!

"Hehehe, but judging from your appearance, you can't compete with Shen Gongbao in other people's eyes!" Master Yu Ding's lips curled up wildly.

Shen Gongbao's whip strike that took down three dragons was incredibly impressive!

"Hmph! Shen Gongbao is nothing, how could I possibly compete with him?" Taiyi Zhenren gritted his teeth slightly.

...

In the world of Investiture of the Gods, on the front lines.

Shen Gongbao looked at the Twelve Golden Immortals with a smug expression, especially at Taiyi Zhenren, scrutinizing him intently.

He then stroked his mustache and shook his head:
