I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

The Upper Three Realms.

Whether it's the three thousand provinces or the ultimate immortal sects, all are peaceful and harmonious.

They were completely unaware of the divine wrath that was taking place in the lower realms.

The Patching Heaven Sect was unaware that their Patching Heaven Divine Tree had been uprooted.

Not only that, the wrath of the gods brought benefits to the upper realms, making everything flourish and prosperous.

On this day, the sky above suddenly changed.

The once vast and boundless sky was now tinged with strange light, with rosy clouds and thunder intertwining.

All living beings looked up in awe, and from the depths of the light, a magnificent gate slowly appeared.

Nantianmen!

The Divine Court has finally repaired this door!

This also means that the Divine Court will reappear in the Three Realms.

The massive South Heavenly Gate exuded an incomparably heavy aura, pressing down on everyone's hearts.

They could clearly feel the overwhelming pressure descending from the sky; it was the pressure belonging to the Divine Court.

The first thing the Divine Court did was to send Venus to the moon to persuade the Guanghan Palace to surrender.

The Guanghan Palace acknowledges Yunxi's status as the Moon Goddess and is willing to formally confer a title upon her.

This made the Immortal Sect and the Extreme Path extremely nervous.

They have a deep-seated hatred for the Moon Palace, and now the Divine Court is stepping forward to play the good guy.

In this way, the Moon Palace will be in the same system and under the same sky as them.

"The Divine Court has remained silent for so long, just waiting for this moment to step out and set things right."

"The Moon Goddess is still the Supreme Dao Master of the Heavenly Interception Path, how can she be allowed to join the Divine Court!"

"On the other hand, the true purpose of the God Lord is for the Dao Lord of Intercepting Heaven to become a subordinate of the Divine Court."

The Divine Court has disappeared from public view during this period, and its standing in the hearts of many people has plummeted.

This move serves as a reminder that the Divine Court remains the supreme ruler of the Upper Realm.

Above the moon, in the Guanghan Palace.

A vast golden pillar of light descended from the sky.

Accompanied by melodious celestial music, an elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom slowly emerged.

He wore a jade crown and a long white-gold robe, the hem of which was adorned with shimmering runes, and every step he took carried the rhythm of the Great Dao.

It was Venus, the planet of the Divine Court.

His face was handsome yet aged, with a long, silvery beard that reached down to his chest, and his gaze was gentle yet profound.

When the Old Man of the South Pole emerged from the Moon Palace, the two were remarkably similar in both their Daoist aura and their overall presence.

The two burst into hearty laughter as soon as they met.

"Taibai, I thought the Divine Court would no longer care about the Upper Realm. I heard that the Lingxiao Palace was destroyed. Is that true?" asked the Antarctic Immortal.

"It cannot be said or said."

Venus's expression changed, and he shook his head repeatedly.

“We’ve known each other for many years, what’s there to hide?” the Antarctic Immortal said, dissatisfied.

“It would be an insult to the dignity of the Divine Court. The Divine Lord has strictly ordered that this not be mentioned to outsiders. You know I’m usually very tight-lipped,” said Venus.

"That's a real pity. I've prepared this pot of ten-thousand-year-old immortal wine, just wanting to hear you talk about it." The Antarctic Immortal shook his head regretfully.

"Immortal brew?"

Venus's eyes lit up.

Fifteen minutes later, the two were drinking passionately together.

"You have no idea, that day I thought the Divine Court was going to be destroyed, that it was impossible to stop them, the God Lord had almost exhausted all his trump cards."

Venus's face was flushed, and he was spitting as he spoke, extremely excited.

"Who on earth could have done this?" asked the Antarctic Immortal.

Who sank the South Heavenly Gate? This is still an unsolved mystery in the Upper Realm.

“According to reliable sources, it is the Lord of the Abyss,” Venus said.

"Isn't the power of darkness forbidden from entering the Divine Court?"

"There must have been some kind of price that forced even the Lord of the Abyss to leave the moon."

At this point, Venus felt a chill creep down his spine.

"Let's not mention this kind of thing casually. Let's get down to business."

Venus put down his wine cup and said solemnly, "You know that the Divine Court has always wanted to rebuild order on the moon. The Guanghan Palace is exactly what the Divine Lord wants, and the Divine Lord is even willing to repair the moon."

In the Moon Palace, Yunxi's expression changed slightly upon hearing these words.

As expected of the Divine Court, it solved the problem that had been troubling her and Shen Ming with just one sentence.

But what will be the price?

“Without any cost, the Moon Palace is neither welcomed by the Immortal Sects nor by the Extreme Paths, which is exactly what the Divine Court wants,” said Venus.

Before the Antarctic Immortal could speak, Yunxi appeared on her own initiative.

"Why unleash divine wrath?"

"Divine wrath? I don't know that." Venus looked puzzled.

The Heavenly Palace of Destiny has no trace in the Upper Realm. The Heavenly Venerable said that it was unknown to people because it was established with the help of the Divine Court.

"How will the Divine Court treat Shen Ming? The Other Shore Divine Cult has already stripped him of his ascension order," Yunxi asked.

“The Other Shore Cult has sided with the Celestial Court during this period, which has displeased the Celestial Court. We are thinking of taking back our authority, and Shen Ming will be the most suitable candidate,” said Venus.

Yunxi frowned slightly, as if everything had been resolved. What did the past mean then?

"Shen Ming will not agree."

The wrath of the gods is inextricably linked to the divine court. Based on Yunxi's understanding of Shen Ming, there is no room for negotiation on this matter.

“No need for consent,” Venus said.

Yunxi is a smart person and knows what those words mean.

Shen Ming has a grudge against the Other Shore Cult, and the Divine Court only needs to fan the flames from behind and provide Shen Ming with help when necessary.

At the level of the Divine Court, the layout no longer requires the will of the pieces, but is planned according to the characteristics of the pieces.

However, Yunxi must go to the Divine Court to receive the imperial decree ceremony.

Yunxi couldn't help but smile; she came from a powerful imperial family and was familiar with such methods.

“The Moon Goddess has gone to the Divine Court, so how can she still make her own decisions?” said the Antarctic Immortal.

"Absolutely not! I'm in charge of recruiting people. If such a thing were to happen, I'd be the first to object!" Venus exclaimed excitedly.

"What if you don't agree? Do you dare disobey the divine authority?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

As he spoke, Venus's eyes darted around, his confidence clearly waning.

“Moon Goddess, the Divine Court has no reason to do that. The Moon Palace only recognizes you, and this is one of the Divine Court’s grand plans,” said Venus.

"What if I don't agree?" Yunxi asked.

Venus remained silent, but the Old Man of the South Pole said, "That must be the Giant Spirit God leading 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to besiege us, right?"

Venus smiled awkwardly and did not deny it.

The Old Man of the South Pole looked at Yunxi; the decision rested with this Moon Goddess.

Yunxi remained silent, pondering. If Shen Ming were here, he would definitely refuse outright.

Yunxi is different; she weighs the pros and cons and tries to find the optimal solution.

She recalled the lesson she had learned in Baidi City.

It was also because she was too clever for her own good and made arrangements for the two of them that the conflict arose.

Shen Minggang had just ended his divine wrath and was now fighting against the Heavenly Mandate Divine Court.

Even if agreeing to the divine decree is only a temporary measure, a rift will inevitably develop between the two people afterwards.

If the Divine Court really comes to attack, the Immortal Sect and the Extreme Path will join forces.

Shen Ming and her dreams will also be destroyed.

"I need time to think it over. Let's try again in ten years."

Yunxi could only think of delaying.

For the Divine Court, ten years is but a blink of an eye.

However, the Divine Court was not so generous and, after some haggling, only gave them three years.
