The Great Calamity had originated from the internal strife of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace. It was very likely that it had revolved around the birth of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
After that, the chaos affected the entire Heavenly Court's Divine Palace and even the universe.
Some of them decided to act together, and some of them took advantage of the situation because of personal grudges. In short, more and more people joined in, and in the end, it became a huge catastrophe that swept through the entire creation.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace and the Three Clear lineage, as well as the various Daoist sects and branches that were spread throughout the world, had undoubtedly suffered the greatest losses.
Countless powerhouses perished, and the flourishing era of martial arts also declined.
Among them, the Future Buddha was not the only one who made the first move. The figures of the other Dao Realm experts were also faintly discernible.
The Western Pure Lands, the Demon Race, and even the Nine Underworlds had no lack of participants.
However, as far as Yan Zhaoge knew, the Compassionate Cultivated Deity and the Samantabhadra Cultivated Deity who had betrayed Daoism in the past, namely the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, had not acted against the direct lineage of Daoism.
The same went for Traveling Monk Hui An – Mu Zha, who was currently captured by Yan Zhaoge.
As such, when Yan Zhaoge, Gao Han, and the other descendants of Daoism faced them, they still retained the last bit of their relationship. Even if they were to fight, they would still leave some leeway and not completely fall out with them.
Fairy Yun Xiao's elder brother, Zhao Gongming, and her sisters, Qiong Xiao and Fairy Bi Xiao, had all died because of the Great Calamity.
Yang Jian's master, Perfected Yu Ding, had also perished.
The Incongruence Divine Mother had lost her personal disciple before.
To them, the impact of what happened in the past was probably even more painful than others.
However, over the years, they might have felt resentment, but they didn't lose their rationality, become deranged, or undergo a great change in temperament.
Compared to them, Nezha's state of mind might not be as peaceful, but it was still surprising that his resentment and evil thoughts were so strong.
Yan Zhaoge could not help but suspect that there was some special reason behind this.
He looked at the Taiyi Spiritual Master, then at Mu Zha, and asked straightforwardly, "Heavenly King Li was one of the top figures in the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace back then. He didn't suffer any calamity during the Great Calamity and joined the Western Pure Lands. But apart from that, did he do anything else?"
It was not that Yan Zhaoge was always speculating about other people's ill intentions.
Instead, it was because the father of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Li Jing, had a criminal record.
Like Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, Yan Zhaoge had also heard of the legend of Nezha wreaking havoc in the seas quite a bit.
Some of the versions are different.
In some stories, Nezha wreaked havoc in the sea because he was a naughty child. In some stories, he saw injustice on the road and helped to save people.
Let's not talk about that first. After Nezha injured the Dragon King, the Fang family's Elder Dragon King came looking for trouble.
In some versions of the story, in order not to implicate his family and the local people in the secular world, Nezha sacrificed himself and severed ties with his family. He cut off his flesh to return to his mother and bones to return to his father. At the same time, he said that he would take responsibility for what he had done, and at the same time, he gave the dragon race an explanation.
In some versions of the story, his father, Li Jing, wanted to kill him in order to avoid trouble. Therefore, Nezha cut his flesh and bones to show that the two of them had severed their blood ties.
Whether it should be said to be fortunate or unfortunate, as Yan Zhaoge knew, in this world, the relationship between the Li father and son was the latter.
This was the first time Nezha had been killed.
Later on, he used the Treasure Lotus Immortal Body to resurrect and obtained a great opportunity.
However, during the revival process, he was obstructed by Li Jing many times.
After Nezha resurrected, he wanted to take revenge on Li Jing, causing Li Jing to flee everywhere. Even his eldest son, Jinzha, and his son, Muzha, couldn't stop him.
Later on, Li Jing became a disciple of the Dipankara Ancient Buddha, who was still a Dipankara Daoist. He obtained the Ru Yi Golden Pagoda that specifically countered the Treasure Lotus Immortal Body, which allowed him to fight against Nezha.
Under many people's mediation, the two sides reluctantly stopped fighting and made peace.
After the Ancient Investitures of the Gods era ended, the two even entered the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace together.
However, from what Yan Zhaoge knew, the relationship between the two had always been bumpy. Even if they worked together, it was only because of their errands.
With this in mind, Yan Zhaoge wasn't afraid of using the worst of intentions to analyze the situation of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace collapsing and Daoism collapsing during the Great Calamity. That Heavenly King Li probably didn't just leave and join the Western Pure Lands.
According to his previous conversation with Yang Jian and the others, Yan Zhaoge already knew that the Western Pure Lands played a significant role during the Great Calamity.
This made Yan Zhaoge's imagination run wild about Li Jing and Nezha's matters.
Moreover, from Yan Zhaoge's current knowledge, Nezha's fortuitous encounter with the lotus incarnation and Li Jing becoming a disciple of the Dipankara Ancient Buddha and obtaining the Ru Yi Golden Pagoda weren't as simple as they seemed.
After all, there were rumors that Nezha's roots were actually in the Nvywa Palace …
The Li Family he was born into was already special. When he was just born, he was almost killed by Li Jing.
Yan Zhaoge couldn't help but think about the intricacies within.
However, to the youthful and straightforward Nezha, what was more important was what Li Jing did.
"To a certain extent, he's similar to the Great Sage." Yan Zhaoge sighed in his heart.
"My disciple's tribulation was all thanks to Daoist Li," said the Taiyi Cultivated Deity slowly after glancing at Muzha.
Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips and didn't say anything.
To Li Jing, Nezha was the number one dangerous person.
Without an expert stopping him and the Ru Yi Golden Pagoda, he wouldn't even dare to show his face in front of Nezha.
There was no longer any meaning in arguing about who was right or wrong.
In Li Jing's heart, the father-son relationship between him and Nezha was long gone. It was hard for him to let it go. He was constantly on guard, as if there was a thorn on his back.
Of course, it didn't feel good to be on guard against such a dangerous opponent. If there was a chance to remove the thorn on his back, the Pagoda Bearing Heavenly King would be more than happy to do so.
During the Great Calamity, Daoism had almost been annihilated.
The Three Altars Sea Meeting Gods fought against the enemies and protected Daoism.
In the end, a Ru Yi Golden Pagoda flew over from afar and restrained his Treasure Lotus Celestial Body. As a result, he was surrounded by enemies and almost died on the spot.
If the Taiyi Cultivated Deity hadn't helped him break out of the encirclement, he would have died for sure.
Regardless of whether Nezha's dissatisfaction towards Li Jing had faded after so many years, his old hatred was even more unforgettable now that he had a new enemy.
Under the intertwining of old and new hatred, the resentment and hatred within the Three Altars Sea Meeting Gods had really broken through the horizon.
Muzha's expression had already calmed down completely. He said mildly, "There's no lack of parents in the world. Third brother has always been disobedient and offended father's dignity. It's fate that he met with a calamity. Father is just cleaning up the family."
The Taiyi Cultivated Deity said mildly, "Don't argue with me. Why would I argue with you? I'm suppressing my disciple now for his sake, lest he sinks into the sea of blood and can't turn back. If he can retract it freely, I'll let him go now. You'll be the first to suffer. "
"You can escape this calamity because you're not the key person." The Taiyi Cultivated Deity suddenly smiled, "However, you're a pretty good catalyst."
Yan Zhaoge's heart jolted when he heard this. He recalled some rumors regarding the Taiyi Cultivated Deity.
