If even this group of old officials could not be tolerated, then what would those civil and military officials and generals who joined the Heavenly Court later feel?
The Celestial Emperor thought about it for a long time and finally decided to trust his Prime Minister.
He raised his head and looked at the white-haired old man. First, he took out an ancient box. The box was covered with seals, and each seal was an ancient talisman.
Even today, it was still emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
The box slowly flew out and landed in the hands of the white-robed old man.
"Prime Minister, how confident are we?"
The Celestial Thearch looked on as the box fell into the hands of the white-haired elderly man.
The white-haired old man thought about it and said, "Give them the memories. I believe they will make the right choice."
He raised his head and looked deeply into the Celestial Thearch's eyes. "Celestial Thearch, you don't need to care too much about what those people will do. What you should be considering is the future of the Heavenly Court. What we set out to do all those years ago has now succeeded. The Pantheon Temple collapsed, and hell withered. The Six Paths of Reincarnation were about to be rebuilt. This world had gone through many trials and tribulations, but it had already returned to the correct path. Since that's the case, what the Celestial Emperor should consider the most is naturally how to make the Heavenly Court better benefit the human world. "
The white-haired old man's words not only shut the Sky Thearch's mouth, but also shut the mouths of those who wanted to jump out and criticize him!
From the day the Heavenly Courts were established, they shouted a slogan —
Not for fame, not for power, but for the benefit of the world!
Why did a group of old ministers of the Ancient Heavenly Court return?
They didn't come back to help the tyrant.
They were the group of people who most hoped to see peace in the world.
Compared to this, the Heavenly Court's return to its former glory could only be ranked behind.
Therefore, since he had shouted out the slogan and set a goal, he just had to go for it.
There was no need to talk about anything else.
Just talking won't do!
They would never agree!
Based on the crown prince's appearance, he did not have the bearing of a Sovereign Personage at all.
The Sky Emperor had been doing well all these years. He was conscientious and conscientious. Although he didn't achieve much, he didn't do anything wrong either.
Now, he was very close to his target!
As long as the Six Paths Reincarnation was rebuilt, the Heaven Court would return to the mortal realm and everything would be back on track.
In the white-haired old man's mind, the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Six Paths of Reincarnation still fell on the shoulders of Shirō Makino, the Dao Ancestor's personal disciple.
No one else could.
It wasn't that he didn't have the qualifications, but that he didn't have the ability!
Count on the Crown Prince?
That arrogant and narrow-minded person with great ambition but little talent would never be able to do this!
He couldn't possibly let the Sky Emperor do it himself, right?
Besides, even if it was the Celestial Emperor … he was just a prince with the bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Court. Although he wasn't particularly clear about his realm, he might not be able to do this well!
So, you, the Sky Emperor, just do your job well. I will go and persuade those young people, and I will not fight with you.
However, he had made great contributions, so the Heavenly Courts couldn't just kill him like that!
You want to fight for the merit points needed to rebuild the Six Paths?
He wouldn't agree!
The white-haired old man took the key and casually scanned it with his Divine Sense. He found that it was indeed the box that had sealed the key back then, so he didn't think too much about it and got up to leave.
He left alone.
He was not afraid that someone would accuse him of favoritism.
He also wouldn't put on airs and make such a big scene.
After he left, many people in the hall seemed to want to say something, but the Celestial Thearch waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
He didn't dare to say it when the Prime Minister was around, but now that the Prime Minister was gone?
Just shut up!
Today's court meeting couldn't be said to be a success, but it couldn't be said to be a failure either.
Not long after returning to the palace, the crown prince asked to see him.
The Celestial Thearch summoned his son in.
Without outsiders, the young crown prince could finally be a little more casual. He looked at the Celestial Thearch and said anxiously, "Father, how could you give the key to that old thing? If he … "
The Celestial Thearch glanced at the young man, frowned slightly, and sighed softly.
"In the past, I only felt that you were a little stubborn and immature, so even though you came to the lower realm many times and became an incapable ruler every time, I didn't care too much. After all, I am in the prime of my life, and it is still early for you to succeed the throne. There will always be time for you to mature … "
When the young crown prince heard this, he was a little flustered. He knelt in front of his father and said, "Father, I … I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so impulsive …"
The Celestial Thearch looked at him indifferently. "Did you always think that we would win this game of chess?"
The young crown prince looked at his father with a puzzled expression.
The Celestial Thearch looked at his son and wished he could kick him.
He couldn't help but look up at the sky and murmur, "I finally understand why you became an incapable ruler every time you came to the mortal world. Even the few times you didn't become an emperor, the results were very miserable. It turns out that this is a problem with your brain, not a problem with your personality. "
The young crown prince lowered his head with an aggrieved expression. He thought to himself, This is the woman you found is not good, can you blame me?
People say that men are like their mothers. You found an arrogant, shrewish, illiterate woman who only has a stunning face, and you still expect your son to be wise? Why don't you have another child! There are so many women in the harem, as long as you can resist your mother's methods, you can have another child!
He cursed frantically in his mind, not caring whether the Celestial Thearch would use the mind reading technique to read his mind.
Basically, he wouldn't.
He knew his father, the Celestial Emperor, very well.
"The person who plays chess is never just me, but a group of people!" The Celestial Thearch was silent for a long time, but he still refrained from saying anything to his useless son and chose to explain patiently.
"A group of people? What right … do they have? Do they have the right? "The young crown prince became anxious and shouted loudly.
After shouting a few times, he looked at his father's gloomy face and pursed his lips, muttering, "I'll shut up, shut up, alright?"
The Celestial Thearch looked at him and said, "Do you really think that just because I am the Celestial Thearch and you are the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Court, your status is so great that no one can shake it?"
"Isn't it?" The young crown prince stared at his father with wide eyes. That expression was especially like the wife of the Celestial Thearch, the most powerful woman in the Heavenly Court — the Empress.
"Of course not, I was just a relatively outstanding disciple in the Heavenly Court. Although I was conferred the title of a prince, I was far from being a legitimate son! Otherwise … I wouldn't have been thrown into the mortal world. "The Celestial Thearch sighed.
The young crown prince looked surprised. "Thrown into the mortal world? Didn't the others go to fight against the Extraterrestrial Demons? They went to the frontlines to fight! People die in war! Father, why … why do you look a little regretful? "
"What do you know? What kind of people are able to go to the Heavenly Court? Although it's nothingness, there are more things you don't know! "
The Celestial Thearch waved his hand. "Why am I telling you this? Listen carefully to what I'm going to tell you now. "
"Oh." The young crown prince immediately put on an obedient look and looked at the Celestial Thearch obediently. "Please enlighten me, Father."
This attitude was really impeccable. Unfortunately, he was too stupid!
Not a little stupid!
He was too stupid!
The Celestial Thearch sighed in his heart and said, "Our family is the only family in the entire mortal world that has the bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Court, so I seized this opportunity to rebuild the Heavenly Court. After countless years of hard work, we finally managed the Heavenly Court to its current state. But son, don't think that we are already stable. Do you know who the first Celestial Thearch of the ancient Heavenly Court was? "
"Of course I know, he was my ancestor!" The young crown prince said matter-of-factly.
The Celestial Thearch almost laughed out of anger. "Then do you know what he did?"
"What did he do? Suffer defeat? Killed by the Extraterrestrial Demons? "
Pa!
A crisp sound.
The Celestial Thearch couldn't help but slap his son.
"How dare you!"
"You're the one who is being presumptuous!" All of a sudden, a shrill cry of a woman rang out from outside, following which the door was kicked open, and a devastatingly beautiful woman rushed in angrily. She pointed a finger at the Celestial Monarch's nose and yelled, "How dare you hit my son! Do you want to die?!"
The Celestial Thearch, who had always been afraid of his wife, had a different reaction this time. He raised his head and looked coldly at the woman who rushed in. "Get out."
"You, aiyo, you're rebelling …" The woman was stunned for a moment, then became even more furious and seemed to want to charge at him.
"Get out!"
The Celestial Thearch roared and the sound of the Great Dao rumbled.
The woman was instantly sent flying by the impact of this aura and only stopped after taking many steps back.
She felt her internal organs churn and she was completely stunned.
The Celestial Thearch had never treated her like this before.
He had never dared to treat her like this!
This wasn't because she was powerful, but because her family was powerful!
It was one of the main families that supported the Celestial Thearch in the past!
Otherwise, why would she dare to act like this with the Celestial Thearch? Why would she dare to act like this in the harem and kill any woman who could threaten her?
She looked blankly at the Celestial Thearch, who was standing at the door and looking at her coldly. Her tears fell.
Her voice trembled and she was about to speak.
The Celestial Thearch: "Get out!"
The woman was finally stunned. Her body trembled and she flew away in an instant.
She couldn't help but burst into tears in midair. She didn't return to her bedroom but flew directly in the direction of her family.
She was going to complain!
Ungrateful bastard, how dare he yell at her!
How dare he tell her to get out!
His father, who had never quarreled with his mother, suddenly burst into a thunderous rage. This scared the young prince silly.
When he saw his mother, he couldn't help but feel wronged and happy.
Who told you to hit me!
You've been caught red-handed, haven't you?
But in the blink of an eye, his mother was chased away.
Then his father, who had suddenly become terrifying, was looking at him coldly.
The young prince was terrified.
He knelt there obediently with half of his face red and swollen. He cried, "I was wrong, please forgive me for my ignorance, father …"
The Celestial Thearch couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
At this moment, he didn't have the idea of having a few more sons. He only had one thought — — The Prime Minister was right. Could a useless person like the prince really make the Heavenly Court better than the Pantheon Temple?
Could he really restore the prestige of the Heavenly Court?
He just had a stomach full of words to teach his son, but now he didn't want to say a word.
The prince, who had never suffered since he was born, was like a devil incarnate in the Heavenly Court. Even if he descended to the mortal world, he would either be the emperor of the mortal world or the most favored son of a top noble family.
It wasn't that the Celestial Thearch didn't want his son to have a good experience, but he couldn't stand having an even more willful and stupid woman protecting him.
Therefore, after many times of descending to the mortal world, not only did this prince not learn the skills of an emperor, but he became even more arrogant and domineering.
He really wanted to tell his son that the emperor of the ancient Heavenly Court had always been a virtuous person!
That kind of virtue was the true virtue!
It was the virtue of creating all living beings!
For example, the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
And the biggest advantage that this father and son had was that the blood of the emperor of the ancient Heavenly Court flowed in their bodies. They were the descendants of that Saint!
If they did too many immoral things, the old ministers of the Heavenly Court wouldn't even need to say anything. It would be enough to overthrow their unstable throne if they joined forces!
This was also the main reason why he wanted to take back the virtue of rebuilding the Six Paths of Reincarnation from Shirō Makino's hands!
Why couldn't his own son understand this painstaking effort?
Why didn't he improve at all after living for so many years?
He was really disappointed and lost.
His heart was filled with frustration.
Looking at his son who was so obedient in front of him, but was like a devil incarnate in front of outsiders, the Celestial Thearch was getting more and more annoyed. He waved his hand and said, "You may leave."
"Father, you haven't finished what you wanted to say just now …" The young prince said weakly.
"I don't want to say anymore. It has nothing to do with you. Go." The Celestial Thearch's face returned to calmness.
There was nothing sadder than a dead heart.
His heart was dead to this useless son of his.
He couldn't be bothered to tell his son that what he gave to the Prime Minister was not the real key, but an even more vicious trap!
Once the Prime Minister opened the box, everything within a few billion light years … would be completely blown up!
Not only that, that terrifying energy could even last for hundreds of millions of years!
In other words, after those people died, they wouldn't even have a chance to be reborn!
After hundreds of millions of years, even if there was a trace of unwillingness left, it would have long dissipated under the impact of the intense radiation day and night.
There was no other way.
This was the only thing he could do.
Only a dead person would be the safest.
Although he might suffer some suspicion and criticism because of this, it was nothing. When the time came, he could just throw the blame on those dead people.
Dead people were already dead, they couldn't even open their mouths to defend themselves. What kind of dirty water they wanted to splash on them, wouldn't that depend on their mood?
Therefore, he was actually very confident.
Of course, if the Prime Minister didn't use the key in the box in the end, but successfully persuaded them to return and hand over the matter of building the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Then, he wouldn't mind giving Shirō Makino and the others extremely high rewards.
Conferring the title of the Four Cardinal Heavenly Emperor, or something even higher, wouldn't be a problem.
Although the Heavenly Court was already very complete, it was still too easy to confer titles.
Therefore, this was a two-pronged plan. No matter what, the final winner would be him.
After this was done, it was time to consider how to deal with the Heaven Empress' family.
Divorce?
There was no need for that!
Once she lost the protection of her family, that stupid and willful woman wouldn't be able to do anything.
When the time came, he would find a few truly suitable women, give birth to some descendants, and then choose the most outstanding one to be his future successor.
A hint of satisfaction finally appeared in the Celestial Thearch's eyes.
He had plenty of patience.
He had already endured for eons, why would he be short of this little bit of time?
He didn't mind even if he had to endure another generation.
…
The Heaven Empress sobbed all the way back to her family. Along the way, many people saw this scene and were all shocked. Then, they began to speculate about what had happened.
The Heavenly Court could be said to be very big, but it could also be said to be very small!
All the civil and military officials of the Heavenly Court, as well as their families, resided in this palace that blotted out the sun and sky.
Therefore, just as the Heaven Empress returned to her family in tears, all sorts of news began to spread.
"What happened? The Heaven Empress actually returned to her family in tears? "
"That henpecked Heavenly Emperor … actually dared to provoke the crying Heaven Empress? This matter is huge! "
"I heard that something big happened in the Heavenly Court today. The Crown Prince's performance didn't seem to be satisfactory. Perhaps … it's because of this?"
Everyone had their own opinions. Although they didn't know what had happened, everyone was very excited.
Many of the family members of the old officials of the Heavenly Court looked down on the current Heaven Empress.
They were all privately mocking her, saying that the ancient Heavenly Court had completely died after that battle with the extraterrestrial demons!
After the ancient Heavenly Court, there was no Heavenly Court!
The current Heavenly Court was just forcefully continuing.
It wasn't that those old officials of the Heavenly Court didn't understand, but they still had one thought in their hearts.
They hoped that the might of the ancient Heavenly Court could be restored and that they could once again be glorious.
At the very least, they had to end that damned Pantheon organization!
When the Heaven Empress returned home, she immediately went to find her father in tears.
He was also an old official of the ancient Heavenly Court. In the era of the ancient Heavenly Court, his status wasn't low.
Now that he had "the merit of ascending the dragon", his status was even more respected.
Compared to the white-haired Cheng, his status wasn't inferior at all!
But this person was very low-key, and he rarely attended court meetings.
Like today's rather important court meeting, he still refused to go, saying that he was meditating at home.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was deliberately keeping a low profile.
He didn't want to make the Heavenly Emperor feel uncomfortable because of his high merits.
If he knew that he had made great contributions, why would he wander around under his nose every day?
That would be annoying.
Therefore, this person was very wise.
He cultivated quietly at home every day. Anyway, he didn't lack resources, and his mentality was good. Without any worries, he might be able to break through to the Mortal Immortal Realm one day.
At this time, this old official of the Heavenly Court, Heavenly Emperor's father-in-law, was flipping through some books in the study.
These books all came from the modern mortal world.
Although those people in the mortal world only had a short life of a hundred years, their thinking was not to be underestimated.
In many books, there were some sentences that made his eyes light up, and some even made him thoughtful.
He never picked on the flaws in those books, only looking for the shining points.
Just like how he looked at people, he rarely looked at the flaws of others, only looking at the shining points of others.
That was why he chose Heavenly Emperor back then!
That was why he had the status he had today.
The only pity was his daughter … To be honest, he was very curious. He knew that daughters were more like their fathers, but why was his daughter so stupid?
He couldn't even blame this on his wife, because his Dao companion was no less shrewd than him!
Such smart and wise parents actually gave birth to a stupid daughter, it was really sad.
The key was that they didn't spoil their daughter since she was young, and they didn't neglect to discipline her.
Before she was married, her performance was quite good.
Who would have thought that after marrying Heavenly Emperor, she would become increasingly arrogant and domineering, to the point that it was hard to believe that she was a girl they taught.
Fortunately, Heavenly Emperor always gave in to her and wouldn't stoop to her level.
For countless years, she rarely annoyed him.
A married daughter was like spilled water, as long as she didn't bother him, everything would be fine.
But just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a cry coming from afar.
In the next moment, the door was pushed open, revealing a peerlessly beautiful face that could topple cities. It was a weeping beauty —
"Father, you have to get justice for me. That bastard not only dared to slap my son, he also dared to shout at me. He shouted at me and scolded me to scram! Sob sob sob … "
The woman rushed in, crying loudly. As she cried, she immediately stunned the person who was sitting there reading.
"Calm down, speak slowly." Heavenly Emperor's father-in-law put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and quietly looked at his daughter, feeling a headache.
His daughter was also an ancient god!
Although she had used resources to force her way up, her cultivation talent was actually not bad. But why was she so stupid when it came to being a person?
Could it be that she was only good at cultivation?
The Heavenly Empress sniffled, and after a long while, she finally stopped crying. With a slightly choked voice, she recounted what had just happened.
Heavenly Emperor's father-in-law, this old man who looked to be in his seventies, couldn't help but sigh after hearing the story. He gently asked, "You said that you suddenly rushed in and scolded him while he was educating the child?"
"That's right? Shouldn't he scold him? Who does he think he is? Is Heavenly Emperor that great? Without you, father, what right does he have to be emperor? Is having the bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Court that great? Who will support him? Today, the world is settled, and he dares to not only hit the child, but also shout at me. Tomorrow, will he not even care about father? Who does he think he is! If I don't teach him a lesson, he will really think that he got everything by himself! "
Although this woman was stupid, her mouth was very sharp, and she was very skilled at scolding people.
The old man looked at his daughter and said, "After so many years, the two of you have always treated each other with respect. However, from the words that you've spoken today, I am unable to sense that you have any feelings for him."
"Ah?" The woman was a little confused.
The old man sighed, "Do you think that without our family, he won't be able to become emperor? Sigh, this kind of thinking is good enough, why do you have to say it out loud? Do you know that if you can say something like this, what about others? If everyone thinks like this, what do you think will happen? Even if it's not a big deal, do you think he will be comfortable? One day, when he is in power and completely controls the Heavenly Court, will he still tolerate you? "
The woman was stunned, and a pair of extremely beautiful eyes blinked as she looked at the old man.
"Also, I wasn't the only one who helped him ascend to the throne. There were also many people who worked together to push him up. In other words, without me, he can still ascend to that position with the bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Court. But without him, you can't become the Heavenly Empress. "
The old man looked at his daughter, "You are ridiculously wrong on this matter. Do you know why he taught the Crown Prince a lesson? Did you ask? Do you know the reason? All these years, as far as I know, he has never hit the Crown Prince, right? Even if the Crown Prince descended to the mortal world and destroyed a dynasty in the mortal world, stirring up a foul atmosphere in the mortal world, did he ever hit the Crown Prince? "
The woman murmured, "No …"
"I heard that the Crown Prince used a clone to bring Marshal Bai and the others back?" The old man asked again.
The woman nodded, "Yes, but Shirō Makino and the others were unruly and arrogant. Not only did they kill my son's clone, but they also killed all the emissaries!"
The old man nodded, "I understand, the Crown Prince was beaten because of this."
The woman looked at her father, almost forgetting why she was here. She couldn't help but defend her son, "Why? My son suffered so much, and even his clone was killed. Why didn't he do anything for him? Why did he hit people? "
The old man looked at his daughter helplessly, and smiled bitterly, "Do you know, if you were a boy, my son, I wouldn't talk to you so calmly."
"Ah?" The woman looked at the old man, confused.
"I would kick you out of here." The old man said.
