I would rather betray the gods

Of course, the "strength" he envisioned was not simply brute force in the literal sense.

It's not about a person's aura, their ability to get things done, or the kind of "strength" that inspires respect.

So whatever Banlan likes to say about him, he himself admits it.

So, just as Banlan said, "Look at others," he was carefully observing Qingjiao's every move, humbly learning from him...

No stars.

Once in court, the young scholar immediately rejected the arrogance of those powerful and influential people.

He said, "You just said that it is your existence that has allowed the Pisces Palace to operate smoothly throughout my thousand years of reincarnation."

That makes some sense, but not much.

Because gods are simply enhanced versions of humans, and are also social beings.

Since it is a group, there will be cooperation.

You are merely those who sit in key positions and wave command flags, only to appear more important than other gods.

As the saying goes, "A skilled strategist achieves little but great merit." The one who truly makes the greatest contribution may not be the one in the spotlight, but rather someone working in the background who has the whole situation in mind.

Those people identify problems first, solve them conveniently, and achieve overall success without even realizing it.

"I would second that!"

Before anyone else could speak, Tianjiwei was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

Others might not know that the one who brought the rain was not the God-King but the Holy King, but he did.

Moreover, the Holy King's new definition of "the skillful warrior has no illustrious achievements" was something he personally experienced when he led his army to conquer the distant star.

As a result, others around him were puzzled by his behavior.

The powerful and wealthy at the center of the vortex were even more bewildered, after all, they had not yet grasped the new definition of "the best warrior achieves no great feats".

"Now is the moment of judgment, and I need not say anything more about irrelevant education."

General Tianji, you should give these gods, whose heads are full of fat, a lesson later.

Those people are bastards, but we must make them understand. Green Pepper begs Tianji Guard for help.

Leave it to me!

The Tianji Guards patted their chests, making their armor clang.

Green Pepper nodded, then continued to say to the powerful and wealthy: "To put it bluntly, you are nothing."

Let's put it this way: the peaceful and prosperous times of Pisces may not have anything to do with you mediocre gods, but if the Andromeda galaxy attacks one day and the Milky Way is thrown into chaos, it will definitely be related to you.

Although you are gods, your level of incompetence is no different from that of ordinary farm owners.

Don't think that just because you're holding a small teacup and gesturing a few times, causing some changes in the divine realm, that's your ability.

Aside from a very few exceptionally gifted individuals, it was essentially the result of collaborative efforts.

So if we kick you gods out and put a pig from the mortal realm in your places, Pisces might not be so bad off now!

This is the greatest denial of these gods and nobles' self-righteousness before the "public trial" by Qingjiao.

Even if the powerful and wealthy have no merit, they have still worked hard, but that doesn't count in this "grand hall".

Then, Green Pepper also received the gavel, a half-cut wooden block that a soldier pulled out of the wood-burning stove.

With a "smack," the interrogator was switched!

"God King, what do you mean by this? We are from a prestigious family."

Why send a mere mortal to judge us!

Seeing Old Xu, who was possessed by the Heavenly Pivot Guard, sit down at the table, the powerful and wealthy people immediately became anxious.

Throughout the myriad realms, it has always been the case that superiors judge subordinates, or at the very least, those of equal rank.

But they never expected that the "God King" would arrange for a mortal to judge them, the orthodox gods.

Where is justice? Where is dignity?!

"Don't you all consider yourselves superior?"

Today I'll show you what it truly means to be revered as both human and divine!

The green peppers not only need to deflate their arrogance, but also crush their pride.

The thought of their haughty and disdainful attitude towards everything, even the God King, in the Dream Court made him tremble with anger.

From a moral standpoint, their continued treatment of his friend Yuzu is intolerable.

Logically speaking, under the Great Dao, these gods think that they can command the wind and rain in the divine realm just because they hold some power. He must shatter their distorted "Dao"!

The powerful and wealthy are used to their luxurious lifestyle and can't accept such unfair treatment anytime soon. So they simply give up and no longer care about dignity.

In an instant, some cursed loudly; some struggled desperately to break free of their ropes; and others uttered threats, saying that their former students and followers would not let the matter rest if they found out. And so on.

It was precisely their identities and ferocious faces that made those present feel uneasy.

It was truly gratifying to see them judged by an ordinary person.

It gives the impression of letting a little rabbit judge a group of carnivorous beasts.

Can this guy called Lao Xu control the situation? If he can't, how can the trial proceed?

Sure enough, when the first powerful figure was escorted to the table, his furious expression caught Old Xu in the "courtroom" off guard.

It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid. Although the new era has brought back the idea of ​​humans and gods being equal, we haven't even entered the new era yet.

Even though Lao Xu knew that the Holy King was backing him, he didn't dare to look directly at the god in front of him, let alone a big shot among the gods.

Instinctively, Lao Xu averted his gaze to the side.

His entire demeanor was filled with a lack of confidence, a waste of the majestic and powerful body of the Tian Shu Wei he possessed.

Looking at it, it resembles a doll wearing diapers, but standing 1.8 meters tall with a full beard. It's truly comical.

"Come on, interrogate me then!"

Don't even think about getting a single word out of me today; I won't even let you get my name out of me!

Ha ha..."

The powerful figures who were promoted naturally saw through Lao Xu's empty confidence and mocked him with great smugness.

Moreover, if the mortal in front of us cannot conduct the investigation, we must find a more suitable candidate.

Only in this way can he maintain his dignity as a powerful figure.

"To be executed in the autumn."

Next."

Without turning his head, Old Xu slapped the gavel, then nervously scratched his chin.

What? ? ?

Executed without even a trial?

Everyone present, including the powerful figures being tried, was shocked!

"On what grounds? What reasons and evidence do you have to convict me?"

The powerful and wealthy were not only shocked but also furious. After all, he was the one who was to be beheaded, so who would be more anxious than him?

"Shen...eng (Holy), the God King has instructed that no evidence is needed to punish you; the evidence is with the Heavenly King Laozi."

If there's anything you don't understand, go and confront the Heavenly King himself.

My job is simply to get you to see the Heavenly King himself.

Old Xu almost revealed his identity as a junior executive because of nervousness, and patted his mouth in relief.

No matter how nervous you are, you can't let your mouth be nervous.

If this is accidentally revealed, and people find out that the one possessing Yu Bulai is the Holy King, not the God King, it would be very inappropriate for any word to get out.

After all, the Holy King is from another realm. If he directly intervenes in the trial of the nobles of the Pisces Palace, he will face great criticism, which will not have a good impact on the Holy King or the Divine King of Pisces.

"Next, didn't you hear me?"

Seeing everyone frozen in shock, Qingjiao urged the soldiers in charge of escorting them.

The soldiers then came to their senses and hurriedly removed the current nobleman, replacing him with the next one.

Those present then belatedly realized that their worries were unnecessary.

However, just as their initial worries subsided, new anxieties arose: they wondered if such a punishment was too harsh.

This was actually the main point of consideration for Green Pepper, and he had talked to Old Xu about it before coming from Blue Fat Star.

To deal with these gods whose souls are steeped in fame and fortune, you either have to stay out of it or be ruthless and eliminate them completely, otherwise things will get even more complicated later.

This time, Yuzu asked him for help. Since they were friends, he came to help out and also to show Yuzu how a real king should act.

The rest of Yuzu's journey to becoming a champion depends on himself.
