Celestial Master Zhang sneered, "Convincing the masses is a virtue, obeying the heavens is a merit. Monkey King, although you have some merit in protecting the Old Lord, not to mention the fact that you have not done your best, even if your merit is complete, you are only worthy of a Daoist Sect's Protector! You can be considered a fourth-grade miscellaneous general, how can you take up the throne? "
"You should just keep your wishful thinking to yourself!" Celestial Master Zhang flicked his sleeves.
"Obeying the heavens for merit!" Wukong said, "Now that the master of all living beings in the world has been vacant for a long time, it should have been the Earth River God under the command of the Eastern Mountain Monarch to lead the people on his fief who have gained sentience. Other than humans who are born with intelligence and are led by the Human Emperor, all living beings in the world who have gained sentience and have not been able to be ranked among the immortals have the Mountain God and the Earth God, the River God and the Dragon Palace, the Gou Chen Upper Palace and the Heavenly Emperor, and the Zhenwu Great Emperor to control them so that they won't become demons outside of the rule."
"Now that the demons have gathered, where are the rules of the Heaven Court?" Monkey King shouted.
"All the spirits in the world are unrestrained, the Earth God is free, the North Star Emperor is in hiding, and the Zhenwu Great Emperor only knows how to slay the demons but doesn't know how to deal with them. The demons know the Mountain King but don't know His Majesty. They are controlled by the Demon Sage but not the rules of the Heaven Court. Even the Netherworld is being blackmailed by the powerful demons, where are the rules of the Heaven and Earth? Now that the East Mountain Monarch knows that he can't control the demons, he gave me the title to lead all the spirits in the world. Isn't that following the will of the Heaven and Earth? What's the difference? "
Taibai Jinxing knew his place and stepped out after getting the Monkey King's look, "Monkey King's words are biased, but they make sense. Great Heavenly Venerable, why don't we follow the East Mountain Monarch's wishes and give him the title of Heaven's Equal Demon Emperor? He will rule all the demons in the world, wipe out all the demons in the world, and establish the rules of the Heaven Court."
Jade Emperor nodded slightly, and the immortals said, "So the Great Heavenly Venerable wants to fill the pit with this monkey! Are all the demons in the world easy to control? Those who didn't have a strong background were all wiped out by Zhenwu Great Emperor! The rest are either extremely powerful or have deep connections. This Heaven's Equal Demon Emperor is just a trap. There are so many immortals in the Three Realms who are raising those demons. You can't touch them. "
Someone immediately guessed the Emperor's intention, and the number of people who opposed was reduced by half.
However, Celestial Master Zhang still said stubbornly, "How many virtuous experts in the Celestial Courts can't be the ruler of all living beings? Yet, you, a child who can't convince the masses, have to ascend to a high position? Even if you have the merit of obeying the heavens, do you have the virtue to convince the masses? Who will serve you? "
"I can't accept this!"
"How can this demonic monkey be called the Venerable One?"
The strange cries below were exactly what Celestial Master Zhang had said.
Wukong, on the other hand, was unperturbed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Convincing the masses makes some sense. However, this Great Emperor, Heaven's Equal led all living beings, gathered demons as his subordinates, and turned demons into obedient people. Such a Venerable Emperor, if he wanted to convince the masses, he would have to subdue demons with virtue and gain their support! Celestial Master Zhang, do you agree? "
Celestial Master Zhang nodded and said, "Of course!"
The immortals in the hall snickered, "This Celestial Master Zhang is really cunning, he even tricked that demonic monkey. That demonic monkey was only born for tens of years, and he became the disciple of the Beyond Heaven Sect Master. He didn't have any friends and was only famous among the demons. On the other hand, that Celestial Master Zhang has a strong foundation and is friends with many demon immortals. It seems like this old man is interested in his title! "
The Monkey King continued, "Then, if I raise my arm and call for the masses to respond, with many followers and all the demons in the world, can I be the Great Emperor, Heaven's Equal?"
Although Celestial Master Zhang was doubtful, he knew that the Monkey King didn't have a strong foundation, so he said, "If that's the case, I can recommend you to the Great Emperor, Heaven's Equal together with the officials in the hall!"
"That's great!" The Monkey King suddenly soared into the sky and shouted, "Where are the ones who respect me as the Great Emperor, Heaven's Equal?"
"The old Daoist is here!" A response came, and everyone turned around to see the Old Lord in a Daoist robe sitting on the back of the Sun Cruising God. He shouted in front of the Lingxiao Hall, "Perfected Monkey King is a person of virtue and prestige, he deserves this position!"
Celestial Master Zhang's expression changed, "Old Lord, you …"
Taishang Old Lord winked and said, "Not only me, when I passed by the Southern Heavenly Gate, I saw many fellow Daoists hearing that Perfected Monkey King was asking to be the Demon Emperor. They were all excited and came to ask the Great Emperor, but they were stopped by the Four Heavenly Kings. I pitied their sincerity, so I brought them in!" Just as he finished speaking, countless auspicious clouds soared.
In the clouds, heavenly flowers were spinning, and wonderful sounds could be heard. There were people holding flower drums, pipa, golden umbrellas, cranes, and dragons. Countless immortals gathered together, and the clouds covered the sky, almost covering the entire Thirty-three Heavens. It was really a sky full of celestial light. Celestial Master Xu shouted, "Why are there so many unfamiliar itinerant immortals in the three realms? Are the immortals of the ten continents and three islands nothing more than this? "
"How did this Monkey King cultivate good karma, to have such immortals asking for his orders?"
Celestial Master Zhang asked suspiciously, "Why do these Daoists look so unfamiliar?"
The white-haired old immortal in the lead rode a crane and said, "We are all ancient immortals before the Dragon Han Calamity, the latest immortals to obtain Dao during the Three Sovereigns' era. Although we are itinerant immortals with no rank or rank, we have also heard of Daoist Monkey King's name. We deeply agree with him asking to be the Demon Emperor, so we came together to ask for his orders. Perfected Monkey King is in line with the will of the heavens, we congratulate Daoist Monkey King! "
The sky full of itinerant immortals said in unison, "We congratulate Daoist Monkey King!"
Celestial Master Zhang's face turned pale, and he said, "This demon monkey actually has so many people's hopes, could he really be the Son of Providence? Otherwise, why would there be so many ancient immortals asking for his orders?"
The Monkey King smiled and said, "I understand your good intentions, this Numinous Sky Hall is the sacred presence of the Great Heavenly Venerable, you shouldn't disturb it, leave!" As soon as he finished, countless auspicious clouds descended, and immortal light scattered in all directions, hiding in the three realms.
The Monkey King asked, "How about this, is Celestial Master Zhang convinced?"
Celestial Master Zhang's lips trembled, but he still said with a strong will, "I'm not convinced, we have already agreed that the Demon Emperor needs the support of all the demon spirits in the world, what use are these heaven and earth itinerant immortals?"
As soon as he said this, the four heavenly kings came to report in a panic, their faces pale, "Report! Great Heavenly Venerable, countless demons came out of nowhere and fought their way to the Southern Heavenly Gate, raising their banners and shouting. Among them, there are thousands of powerful demon kings, countless demon soldiers and demon generals, and they seem to have the intention to attack the celestial palace. They are speaking nonsense, please judge them, Great Heavenly Venerable! "
The Jade Emperor asked, "What did those demons say?"
The Four Heavenly Kings looked troubled. The Jade Emperor ordered the Qianli Yan to bring the Demon-Illuminating Mirror and shine it outside the South-Heaven Gate. He saw a demonic wind sweeping and black clouds filling the sky. The stench of blood rushed into the sky. The demonic clouds and demonic fog covered the sky. There were more than six hundred Demon Kings and Great Sages, including the Roc King, the White Elephant King, the Azure Lion King, the Macaque King, the Flood Dragon King, the Yellow Tiger King, the Spirit Leopard King, the Great Whale King, and the Thin Dog King. They blocked the South-Heaven Gate and raised their flags.
"If the Monkey King didn't rule the world, the demons would be like a long night!"
"The sun rises in the East, Monkey King!"
"The Heaven's Equal Demon Emperor!"
"The Celestial River Stone Man with one eye, incites the demons in the world to rebel!"
"In the future, I will be the Emperor Of Heaven of Qi, and repay the world to return to its kind!"
"Suddenly, the Heaven's Equal grinds the pole, and the Emperor Star shakes high!"
"Enter the Heavenly Gate with a knife, and hold the king's head!"
"I can replace him!"
"Live as the Demon Emperor, die as the Emperor …"
