Chapter 1015: Chapter 312 Return of the Ancient Gods_2
Li Jing’s heart was full of relief.
“Alright, everyone, go and do what you need to do. Maintain the normal operations of the Three Realms, don’t let demons and monsters harm the common people, and don’t neglect your duties. Otherwise, beware of the merciless Heavenly regulations.”
“Yes.”
The Immortals left.
Only then did Great Emperor Ziwei gently let out a sigh of relief.
His expression grew serious.
When he said he was confident, it was not a lie. He was indeed confident he could withstand the offensive of Emperor Jun and their forces.
Plus, even if Emperor Jun and his forces returned, it wasn’t certain they would immediately go to war with him.
However, it was impossible to say that Great Emperor Ziwei felt no pressure.
He was acutely aware that once Emperor Jun and his forces returned, a conflict with the Heavenly Court would be almost inevitable.
Ziwei Heavenly Court was strong, yet it was weak due to the lack of a powerhouse who could decide the fate of Heaven and Earth.
The Eastern King might count as one, but he was not the Supreme of the Three Realms.
Moreover, he was just one person.
He could block either Eastern Emperor Tai Yi or Emperor Jun, but if there was another one, the Heavenly Court would need other powerful beings.
In terms of the number of Supremes, the Heavenly Court absolutely wouldn’t have any advantage compared to Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Emperor Jun.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Emperor Jun had been battling against the beings beyond the Domain for many years, living hard lives, always at war with external beings.
But, in some ways, they also gained training.
Their power upon their return would be stronger, not weaker, than before they left.
The Heavenly Court might not be able to withstand them, which Great Emperor Ziwei was quite clear about.
However, he naturally wouldn’t reveal this truth to everyone; instead, he needed to show a confident demeanor so that all the Immortals would remain calm and not feel so uneasy.
“Your Majesty, don’t worry, we have The Three Pure Ones behind us.”
Yang Jian smiled faintly.
Great Emperor Ziwei was a bit speechless when he heard Yang Jian’s words.
He glanced at Yang Jian and couldn’t help but say, “Have you forgotten that we just had a conflict with The Three Pure Ones, aiming to diminish their prestige and enable the Heavenly Court to truly govern the Three Realms.”
Yang Jian smiled faintly and said, “I certainly haven’t forgotten, but Your Majesty must also remember that The Three Pure Ones are the real enemies of Emperor Jun and his forces. If Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi join forces, The Three Pure Ones will also face great pressure. Back in those days, The Three Pure Ones expelled them by uniting with the Ancient Gods after long planning, only then did they succeed.”
At this point, Yang Jian gave a mysterious smile and said, “Which means, no matter our relationship with The Three Pure Ones, going against The Three Pure Ones is inevitable for them, so The Three Pure Ones must ally with us.”
This was banking on The Three Pure Ones.
Even Great Emperor Ziwei was a bit astonished, as he gazed at Yang Jian, feeling that Yang Jian’s words made a lot of sense.
“So, Your Majesty can rest easy, wait for them to return, everything will become clear.”
Yang Jian said with a smile.
His tone was very confident, and he had great confidence in his judgment.
Seeing Yang Jian speaking with such certainty, Great Emperor Ziwei finally relaxed.
He said with a smile, “Having you and Wukong is the greatest fortune of my life. With you by my side, my heart is at peace to the utmost.”
Yang Jian smiled slightly, not saying anything further.
As long as His Majesty understood his meaning, that would be the best outcome.
Anyway, there’s no need to worry then.
The Three Realms were in turmoil, as the Ancient Gods from Beyond the Domain were about to return, filling everyone’s hearts with unease.
Sun Wukong, however, was very relaxed, going out for a drink whenever he had time, even practicing less often.
This left everyone quite surprised.
How come at this time, Sun Wukong seemed more relaxed instead?
Could it be that he was so confident that he believed Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and his forces posed no threat to him?
“Go to the Central Heavenly Palace to meet the future father-in-law then.”
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Nu Ba was a bit surprised, but she still refused.
“Great Saint, what’s going on with you? The Ancient Gods from Beyond the Domain are about to return, and yet you don’t seem worried at all, not tense, you’re supposed to be tense.”
She was both amused and embarrassed, mainly because Sun Wukong was too calm at this time.
In Nu Ba’s view, Sun Wukong’s calmness was a bit abnormal.
Could it be that because Emperor Jun and his forces were about to return, Sun Wukong felt too much pressure, which made him behave like this?
Thinking of this, Nu Ba looked at Sun Wukong with a touch of pity in her eyes.
So much pressure was placed on Sun Wukong; indeed it wasn’t easy for him.
“You misunderstood, I never felt any pressure.”
Sun Wukong was both amused and annoyed, thinking they were overthinking.
Even if there was pressure, it wasn’t on him, it should be on Great Emperor Ziwei and the others.
And since he wasn’t even part of the Heavenly Court, where was the need for such pressure?
As for why Sun Wukong was happy, it was because strong beings were returning.
Perhaps he could fight a few great battles with these Ancient Heavenly Emperors, thinking of this, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but feel delighted.
“Ah, aren’t you and Great Emperor Ziwei the same? If Great Emperor Ziwei feels pressure, isn’t that your pressure?”
Nu Ba was a bit puzzled, feeling she couldn’t quite understand Sun Wukong.
Logically, given Sun Wukong’s relationship with Great Emperor Ziwei, they shouldn’t be so calm.
After all, the relationship between him and Great Emperor Ziwei meant that they should share hardships almost inevitably.
Looking at Nu Ba, Sun Wukong smiled and shook his head, saying, “You’re thinking too much, whatever happens, just battle it out, what’s there to be worried about. Anyway, if the sky falls, someone will fix it, and it should be The Three Pure Ones most concerned, who has seen them worried?”
