809: Original text: Chapter 274 Reunion with Baize Modified after: 809: Original text: Chapter 274 Reunion with Baize Modified after: The main issue was that the Primordial Phoenix was simply too outrageous; not only did she indulge her descendants in harming the Human Race, she also injured Sun Wukong.
Nu Ba naturally did not like her and felt no sympathy for her at all.
“Heh, as a Supreme being, being hunted by Suiren and the Golden Gods like a stray dog must be more painful for the Primordial Phoenix than being killed.
This time, the Primordial Phoenix must have suffered a great blow.”
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
“That’s right.
To kill and destroy the heart, given the Primordial Phoenix’s pride, being hunted was likely very unsettling for her.”
Nu Ba also said with a smile.
She seemed to think of the Primordial Phoenix gnashing her teeth, which made her quite pleased.
A war that almost broke out was resolved in a dramatic manner.
People were all talking about it.
Some praised Nezha’s righteous bravery, while others spoke of Sun Wukong’s strength, saying he could now face the Supremes.
Some even felt that the Primordial Phoenix was not entirely in the wrong, believing that avenging her descendants was natural from her perspective.
This kind of opinion surprisingly had quite a few supporters among the Human Race, causing some Immortal Gods of the Three Realms to be at their wits’ end.
Even the Immortals among the Human Race had to sigh, acknowledging that it’s not unreasonable for so many people, of various qualities, to include a few fools.
Some people considered themselves insightful, thinking their views were quite profound, but they were nothing more than fools with biased perspectives.
How could such opinions be correct?
Most of the time, it was just arrogant self-righteousness.
After recovering from his injuries, Sun Wukong wandered the Four Continents with Nu Ba, listening to all kinds of rumors, shaking his head repeatedly.
Sun Wukong felt that he was already very tolerant, but some comments were still hard to stomach.
The way these people talked, laughing and joking, pointing fingers at the world; yet, if they were in his shoes, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
Sun Wukong even heard some people cursing Nezha, calling him cruel.
After Nezha killed the Primordial Phoenix’s descendants, some people of the Human Race worried that this would cause the Primordial Ancient Gods and Demons to take their anger out on ordinary humans.
Being an important minister in the Heavenly Court, Nezha was protected by it, so nothing could happen to him.
But ordinary people were different.
Without the Heavenly Court’s protection and lacking sufficient strength, if the Ancient Gods and Demons targeted them, they would have no chance of survival.
“Those aloof Immortal Gods don’t care about our lives.
They just want to be remembered for all eternity.
All this talk of Ancient Gods, Demons, and Immortals fighting is just about their power struggle.
Do you think the Immortals really protect the Human Race?
They’re just competing with the Ancient Gods for Incense and Devotion Power.
Protecting the Human Race is just a lie.”
“So that’s it.
The Heavenly Court tricked us.
All this talk of protecting the Human Race is false.
The Heavenly Emperor was anointed by the Human Race, but we still live in deep water and scorching fire.
What have they given us?”
“Maybe being ruled by the Ancient Gods and Demons would make our lives better.”
“That’s right.
The Heavenly Court is deceitful.
Great Emperor Ziwei is unreliable.
We don’t need such a Heavenly Court.”
The rumors grew more and more intense, almost shaking the very foundation of the Heavenly Court.
“Someone is doing this on purpose, deliberately setting the stage to undermine the Heavenly Court’s authority.”
Sun Wukong immediately realized this.
If the masses no longer believed in the Heavenly Court, the so-called recognized authority of the Heavenly Court would become untenable.
By then, the Heavenly Court, having lost its foundation among the people, would be in great danger.
Sun Wukong did not know who was doing this, but it was definitely aimed at annihilating the Heavenly Court’s foundation.
A very ruthless and terrifying method.
“It should be those Supremes.
Only they would be so vicious.”
Nu Ba said.
“I don’t think it’s the Supremes.
Instead, it seems like the work of another person.”
Sun Wukong’s eyes gleamed.
“Who?”
Nu Ba’s heart stirred, and she asked curiously.
Besides the Supremes, who else would want to take on the Heavenly Court?
Soon, Nu Ba got the answer and knew who it was.
After setting the stage, another saying emerged.
“It’s said that during the reign of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, Emperor Jun, the world was clear, and no Ancient Gods and Demons dared to disrupt.
The whole Three Realms were thriving, and our Human Race prospered and was about to become the main players of the world.”
“Indeed, I’ve heard that too.
Emperor Jun was the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, immensely powerful.
Even with the Supremes around, they dared not act out, all very obedient because Emperor Jun was the mightiest, and all the world’s strong had to follow his orders.”
“I’ve also heard that the Three Pure Ones stood on equal footing with him.
I miss that era and hope for such a powerful Supreme of the Three Realms to dominate them again.”
People discussed over tea, nostalgically recalling the era of Emperor Jun.
Nu Ba was infuriated.
She wanted to slap those people to death for speaking nonsense.
They had no idea what life was really like for the Human Race under Emperor Jun.
The Human Race seemed to have an emergence during that era, but it was not due to Emperor Jun, but their own relentless development.
Emperor Jun’s Divine Dynasty did not help the Human Race but instead constantly limited its growth.
If it weren’t for Emperor Jun’s onslaught, the Human Race would have risen long ago.
Many sages died in that era.
