558: Chapter 236 Is it Fake_3 558: Chapter 236 Is it Fake_3 Since he already knew where the problem lay, Nezha didn’t mind changing.
It was not for himself, but solely for his second brother.
The Jade Emperor’s eyes were calm as he smiled faintly, as if he had long anticipated Yang Jian’s reaction.
His gaze landed on Nezha and, with a light smile, he said, “How do you feel now?”
Nezha replied coldly, “The creatures of later generations are far too detestable, indeed they deserve to be killed.”
The corners of the Jade Emperor’s mouth curved up slightly, and he said with a smile, “That’s why I need your help, for we are the true power holders, destined to sit high above, those weak beings are merely our servants, as deities high and above, why would we exhaust ourselves protecting a band of ungrateful servants?
Am I right or not?”
Nezha glanced at the Jade Emperor and scoffed, “Jade Emperor, I know what you’re plotting, but you won’t find any breakthrough with me.
Whomever my second brother chooses to follow, I will follow, so you needn’t waste your efforts on me.”
The Jade Emperor simply smiled and said, “I’m just explaining this principle to you.
I also believe in Yang Jian, he will come to understand on his own.
I will wait for him here.
When he decides to follow me, I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can absolutely secure his mother’s safety.
At least, I wouldn’t kill my own sister because of my conflict with Yang Jian, since, after all, she is my sister.”
Hearing the words of the Jade Emperor, Nezha appeared quite approving and spoke with some dissatisfaction, “You’re not wrong about that, Ziwei really didn’t handle that well.”
Seeing Nezha agree with his view, the corners of the Jade Emperor’s mouth curved up slightly.
He was almost certain that he had persuaded Nezha.
And there was a very good chance that Yang Jian would be persuaded by him, the only obstacle was the hurdle in his heart.
After all, working for an uncle with whom he was not on good terms was indeed a bit revolting.
The Jade Emperor understood this very well.
If it were him, he would also feel uncomfortable and need time to adapt.
The Jade Emperor waited for three days and nights before Yang Jian’s door finally opened.
At that moment, his hair was disheveled, yet his eyes were extraordinarily sharp.
His piercing gaze on the Jade Emperor, Yang Jian said coldly, “I will come to you, but if there’s anything I don’t wish to do, you cannot force me.
And furthermore, I wish to be the Judicial Deity.”
The Jade Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
He nodded and said, “You and I are close relatives, and naturally, I would not force you to do anything against your will.
As for the position of Judicial Deity, it’s not much; I will confer upon you the title of Second Heavenly Emperor, how about that?”
“Agreed.”
Yang Jian revealed a faint smile.
Second Heavenly Emperor, the title itself conveyed its meaning.
It meant that, in the Jade Emperor’s realm, he would be the most powerful after the Jade Emperor himself.
“Then, I will also give you all the powers of the Judicial Deity, allowing you to amend and establish the laws of heaven.
You are my nephew, and I fear no betrayal.
I plan to become an existence like The Three Pure Ones in the future, and you, the Second Heavenly Emperor, will one day be the true Heavenly Emperor,”
The Jade Emperor continued, his tone full of youthful ambition.
He was confident that under his guidance, Yang Jian could achieve even greater heights, and it wasn’t impossible for Yang Jian’s strength to reach the same realm as his someday.
With Yang Jian joining forces with him, plus some of his trump cards,
overthrowing The Three Pure Ones was not an impossible feat.
At this point, the Jade Emperor sighed with slight regret.
If only he had known how gifted that monkey was, he would not have cast him aside in the past and would have instead rescued him directly from the nineteen layers of hell.
With the monkey’s help, as long as they grew in strength, why fear not being able to overturn this world and replace The Three Pure Ones?
Thinking this, the Jade Emperor glanced at Nezha.
This Nezha, though slightly lacking, was still worth a try.
Nezha noticed the Jade Emperor’s gaze on him, yet the look was a bit off, showing disdain but also expectation.
This made Nezha frown, dissatisfied as he said, “What’s with that look?
Don’t think I can’t beat you and you can bully me.
Even if my second brother becomes your subordinate, I won’t obey you, unless it’s an order from my second brother, otherwise, I won’t follow anyone’s command.”
Seeing Nezha respond this way, the Jade Emperor simply smiled; he was not bothered.
Nezha was always a thorn, and if someone could control him, nothing could be better.
He surely didn’t want to waste energy restraining Nezha.
The Jade Emperor said with a smile, “You can rest assured on that, Third Prince, I will definitely not restrict you.”
With the Jade Emperor’s words, Nezha felt somewhat relieved.
Yet he was also puzzled; what exactly did the Jade Emperor’s smile mean?
“In three days, I will confer your new position in Ling Xiao Palace.
Remember, we are the real family,”
Having said that, the Jade Emperor left pleased.
Nezha and Yang Jian exchanged glances, but not a trace of a smile was seen on their faces.
Their expressions were very solemn, giving the impression that choosing the Jade Emperor was a hard decision.
Although the Jade Emperor had departed, his Divine Thought lingered.
Observing their expressions, he became assuaged.
If Yang Jian had deliberately schemed to get close to him, he should be happy now that his goal was achieved.
The idea of Yang Jian acting as an undercover agent had already been dismissed by the Jade Emperor.
To have an undercover agent by his side, there was no need for Yang Jian; by controlling any powerful loose immortal who sought refuge, he could win their trust.
Moreover, the Jade Emperor had no dark schemes of his own.
