559: Chapter 236 Is It Fake_4 559: Chapter 236 Is It Fake_4 Faced with the Ziwei Heavenly Court, he simply clashed head-on.
In this way, more living beings would suffer casualties.
To the Jade Emperor, the more casualties among the living beings, the better; as for victory or defeat, it was not important to him.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor didn’t need any plans at all.
In that case, the matter of having an undercover agent was completely unnecessary.
The Great Emperor Ziwei and his associates could not have failed to consider this, nor would they go to such great lengths to arrange for someone to be by their side.
Therefore, Yang Jian truly had a fallout with the Great Emperor Ziwei and the others.
“Yang Jian couldn’t possibly be coming to kill me, could he?”
A thought emerged in the Jade Emperor’s mind.
He quickly dismissed this thought.
He even found the idea somewhat amusing.
Kill himself?
Within the Three Realms, who would dare say such a thing?
Unless Yang Jian and his associates had gone mad, they would not entertain such a thought.
Mainly because the Jade Emperor’s strength was too mighty, he had no concerns about such an event ever occurring.
This thought vanished as soon as it appeared, and the Jade Emperor immediately dismissed it.
He returned to Ling Xiao Palace, wearing a full smile on his face.
When Lady Houtu inquired and learned that Yang Jian was willing to switch his allegiance, she also showed a smile.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, on gaining a great general.”
The Jade Emperor, smiling, said, “You are mistaken, my lady; it’s not one, but two.
Have you forgotten?
Nezha has always been with Yang Jian.
Whoever Yang Jian pledges loyalty to, Nezha follows.”
Lady Houtu was taken aback, only then remembering Nezha.
Even if Nezha was not as formidable as Yang Jian, he was still a mighty general.
He was also a top-tier War God in the Three Realms, and his power was formidable.
No wonder the Jade Emperor was so pleased, having gained two strong masters at once.
Anyone would be just as elated as he was.
“Although I am not too concerned about the position of Supreme Sovereign of the Three Realms, I would even be willing to yield it to Ziwei, since the Three Realms are still too small.
However, defeating him would still be a cause for joy,” said the Jade Emperor, laughing.
With Nezha and Yang Jian joining his side, the odds of his victory had increased significantly.
Without using his trump cards, Yang Jian and Nezha brought considerable strength to the Jade Emperor’s faction.
The current Jade Emperor was in need of top-tier War Gods like Yang Jian and Nezha.
Especially in the context of powerful beings making their moves, Yang Jian and Nezha, who could fight the Great Heavenly Venerates, were definitely the key to winning in the struggle for great power.
The role they could play was simply unimaginable in its significance.
“What is ours should naturally not be given to others; of course, we have to retake it,” said Lady Houtu, laughing.
Clearly, the addition of Yang Jian and Nezha excited both of them.
Three days later, Yang Jian was to be named the Second Heavenly Emperor.
Upon hearing the Jade Emperor’s decision, rather than objecting, Lady Houtu was quite supportive.
“Your Majesty is wise.
Yang Jian is, after all, your nephew, and almost no different from a son to you.
It is appropriate for him to be named Second Heavenly Emperor.
I recommend that Your Majesty transfer most of your authority to Yang Jian.
This will make him even more loyal to you,” said Lady Houtu, smiling.
The Jade Emperor thought for a moment, then smiled gently, exuding an air of casual confidence.
“You are right, my lady.
By handing power over to Yang Jian, he will truly feel my trust in him and will be even more loyal to me.
As for myself, as long as I possess invincible strength, I have no worries about him harboring any ill intentions.
This idea is excellent.”
The Jade Emperor felt that the situation was like that of The Three Pure Ones.
They did not mind placing someone else in the position of the Supreme Sovereign of the Three Realms because their strength was sufficient to change everything.
Therefore, although nominally someone else was the Supreme Sovereign of the Three Realms,
the real Supreme Sovereign was still The Three Pure Ones.
They simply did not carry that title, but their invincible strength endowed them with the determination to dominate Heaven and Earth.
The Jade Emperor’s goal was to be the actual ruler of the Three Realms.
As for the lesser powers under him, he did not even consider them worth noting.
With unbeatable strength, one can have anything, under the might of absolute power.
In the courtyard of the Yang Mansion at the Guan River Mouth, some time had passed before Yang Jian finally said, “Let’s go.”
The Jade Emperor had left, and he could no longer sense the Jade Emperor’s Divine Thought.
Nezha breathed a sigh of relief, lazily lying on a recliner, legs crossed, and communicated telepathically, “Big brother, when do you plan to make your move?”
“Three days from now,” Yang Jian replied in a deep voice.
Nezha was startled; he had thought Yang Jian would postpone it for a few more days.
Suddenly sitting up from the recliner, Nezha stared at Yang Jian, frowning and asking, “Isn’t it too soon?”
Yang Jian shook his head, saying in a grave tone, “It’s not soon.
After all, I’m not truly pledging loyalty, so naturally, I can’t give it my all.
The longer it takes, the more suspicious the Jade Emperor might become.
Moreover, it won’t be so easy to approach the Jade Emperor later on.
Three days from now is the best opportunity.”
“This seems too rushed; I think it’s not wise,” Nezha said, frowning.
He felt that Yang Jian was indeed acting too hastily, daring to make a move without proper preparation.
Three days was far too short a time.
Glancing at Nezha, a smile appeared on Yang Jian’s face.
“I didn’t expect you to be so cautious for once.
But rest assured, even if we fail, we’ll just return to our original situation.
I will still be the Judicial Deity, and then we’ll truly defeat the Jade Emperor’s army with real swords and spears,” said Yang Jian.
Seeing Yang Jian speak in such a manner, Nezha pondered for a moment and then nodded his head.
“I trust in you, big brother, so I’ll follow your lead,” he agreed.
Yang Jian sent out several Jade Talismans, secretly dispatching them to various locations.
Then he said to Nezha, “Brother, don’t get involved in the attack on the Jade Emperor; with your strength, it’s too risky and you could face problems.
Just deal with Houtu and the other Great Heavenly Venerates.”
