"Nezha!"
"Nezha!"
"How dare the Dragon Palace bully my son like this!"
"Ahem! Pfft … "
On the white beach, Nezha spat out water from his mouth. His round belly was quickly returning to normal.
His small body was limp and he opened his eyes weakly.
A familiar face peeked over from the side and filled Nezha's vision.
"Ah, Uncle Chang 'an …"
"Third Young Master, you're awake?"
Li Changshou's face was filled with worry. He whispered, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Nezha opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he could not. He felt like he had had a nightmare. At that moment, he still had a headache. Another scene surged into his mind, and it was a little hazy and unreal.
He muttered, "Wasn't I fighting with a few long worms?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Third Young Master, you must be dreaming. Don't think too much. Let yourself relax …"
"Hehe." Nezha smacked his lips and opened his arms to Li Changshou. "Uncle Chang 'an, carry me!"
"Come." Li Changshou rubbed Nezha's head and carried him on his shoulder. "Let's go back."
He sighed in his heart. Although Little Nezha was smart enough and had the judgment of a young man, he was still a child at the end of the day.
At that moment, Nezha did not pay much attention to what had happened before. He collapsed on Li Changshou's shoulder and moaned weakly.
His entire body was sore and his hands and feet were cramping. It was indeed a symptom of being tired of playing.
Uh, why have all my clothes been changed? I didn't come out wearing these clothes?
Nezha was confused. Then, he was attracted by the butterflies by the roadside and stared at them in a daze.
Li Changshou chuckled in his heart.
In the ideal "Nezha Battles the Dragons", Little Nezha was heroic and had Dharma treasures with him. He was in high spirits and lived up to his name as a little hero.
In reality, the "Nezha Battles the Dragons" had burned his clothes not long after he attacked. He held the Fire-tipped Spear, wore a red dudou, and charged back and forth with a spear in his hand.
He was indeed … Little Ass.
Very energetic.
"Uncle Chang 'an, did I kill a long worm?"
"Yes, and you're a little out of control."
"Then why did you say I was dreaming just now? Ha, yawn … I even heard my father's voice."
Li Changshou said slowly, "Third Young Master, you fainted in the sea. The Little Dragon of those Dragons wanted to kill Third Young Master. Master arrived in time to save Third Young Master."
"Where's Daddy?"
Nezha asked, blinking his big eyes.
"The commander-in-chief is busy with military affairs. He rushed back after saving the third young master."
"Oh." Nezha yawned. "Then I'll sleep for a while … I'm so tired."
Li Changshou replied warmly and patted Nezha's back gently, letting him fall asleep slowly.
In the battle with Ao Bing's guards, Nezha gradually released his murderous aura in order to obtain more spiritual energy.
That process was almost instinctive. It could be considered Nezha's reaction when he was in danger.
To Nezha, there was still a huge burden.
Although Little Nezha could not be treated like an ordinary child, he had completely merged with his previous self in his mother's womb. However, he had only been born for two years. His personality was too simple and he did not think much.
In particular, Nezha trusted his Uncle Chang 'an very much.
Li Changshou said it casually, but the situation at that time was not that simple.
Ao Bing had set up a killing array to plot against Nezha. He wanted to use the Sea Patrol Yaksha as a guide to convict Nezha of his crimes.
Ao Bing's motives were rather complicated. He was more or less mentally distorted. That was a way that Ao Bing had decided to seek recognition.
Things progressed very smoothly. A few of Ao Bing's personal guards lured Nezha into the East Ocean and lured him into the killing array that had been set up previously.
That should have been a fatal situation. Li Changshou had to immediately save him.
However, he did not expect that the killing array would be dispersed in an extremely short period of time. Nezha's murderous aura and spiritual energy erupted and instantly engulfed Ao Bing. He shattered the dragon soul with his spear.
The azure dragons hurriedly retreated when they saw that.
Just as Nezha was about to chase after him, the bracelet on his wrist shone gently and made Nezha fall asleep.
As for Ao Bing, whose dragon soul had been shattered, a wisp of remnant soul escaped into the void, as if he wanted to rush to the God-Conferment Platform under the Central Heaven Gate.
That should be the first essence soul to enter the God roll.
Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. He realized that he could stop it, but he did not do anything. He allowed Ao Bing to enter the God-Conferment Platform and wait for the Great Tribulation to end before becoming a god together.
After Nezha fainted, the dragon guards were worried that the Dragon Palace would definitely punish them. They thought that they might as well go all out and capture Nezha back to the Dragon Palace.
Li Jing rushed over in time. Although his cultivation level was not enough to fight the few dragon guards, he held his sword and shouted angrily to protect Nezha.
The few dragon guards were flustered. They knew that they were in the wrong. After cleaning up Ao Bing's corpse, they hurriedly retreated. Before they left, they naturally left a few harsh words.
"Li Jing! Chentang Pass! "
"Don't run if you have the ability!"
"You will definitely feel the wrath of the Dragons!"
It was a very common vicious tactic, but Li Jing was indeed a little worried.
Fortunately, Li Changshou reminded him in time and asked Li Jing to rush to the Qianyuan Mountain to invite Perfected Taiyi over. Later, he would deal with it. Li Jing entrusted Nezha to the immortal god he trusted the most and rushed to the Middle Continent.
Li Changshou's plan regarding the Dragons and using Nezha was rather far-reaching.
Before the Great Tribulation safely unfolded, Li Changshou had observed the Dragons for a long time. He had also discovered the "Ancient Noble Soul" that the Dragons had awakened, as well as the luck brought about by submitting to the Celestial Court. The Dragons were oppressing the Sea Clan.
The Dragons could be divided into four classes.
At the highest level were the Four Sea Dragon Kings, the Grand Elders, and the older elders who had long stopped caring about the world and focused on suppressing the Sea Eye.
They were the foundation of the Dragons and the strongest deterrent that the Dragons maintained. Although they paled in comparison to the pressure of the Saints of the Western Sect and did not seem to be of much use, that was because the Saints' brilliance was too dazzling.
On the second level were the dragons that had been born after ancient times, represented by the Dragon Lady.
The third level was more complicated. There were the upper echelons of the Sea Clan, experts who had transformed into dragons, and many "mediocre Dragons" who had lost the glory of the Dragons because their bloodlines were impure.
The fourth level was mainly made up of dragons and flood dragons. They were an important part of the Dragons's forces.
The Sea Clan … did not deserve to have a class in the eyes of the Dragons.
Previously, when the Western Sect dealt with the Dragons, they had instigated the conflict between the fourth level and the first three levels. They had used the injustice of the Immortal Flood Dragon troops and the Dragon Transformation as an entry point to control a large number of Sea Clan members, making the Dragons feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, such a predicament only temporarily concealed the internal conflicts of the Dragons. The Dragons had awakened a wave of "Souls of the Race". They filled the Sea Eye and survived the difficulties. They submitted to the Celestial Court and became an important help when the Celestial Court was weak.
In fact, the core conflict within the Dragons had not been resolved.
Most of the Dragons were unwilling to admit that they were the supporting characters of the world, but they were immersed in ancient dreams and did not want to wake up. As a result, they had accumulated too much pressure from the hierarchy. They could cause the Dragons to collapse at any time.
To be specific, they were like Ao Bing. He still chose to attack Nezha despite knowing his background.
How long had it been since the Dragons submitted to the Celestial Court?
What would happen in the future?!
The main characters of the world were the humans.
Li Changshou could not let a "Dragon's Calamity" that would harm countless mortals appear in the future.
At that time, he had thought about a lot and considered many possibilities. He confirmed that resolving the internal conflicts of the Dragons would not affect his overall plan. Therefore, he chose to attack safely.
He forced and helped the "old dragons" of the first level, like the Dragon King, to clean up the dangerous elements within the Dragons and change the fundamental understanding of the Dragons towards the Primordial World.
That was extremely beneficial to both the human race and the Dragons.
The specific steps were a little complicated, and the subsequent steps would be played out one by one. Li Changshou did not give the Dragon King a specific script. That was also his trust in the old Dragon King, who was an old schemer of the Primordial World.
The overall idea was that Li Changshou would provide external pressure. The Celestial Court, Chan School, and the human race would suppress the Dragons and force them. The Dragon King would reorganize the internal affairs of the Dragons and change the overall self-awareness of the Dragons.
During this process, the Dragon King had to be on the same side as the dragons to ensure the relative stability of the Dragons and the authority of the Dragon King.
In the end, the Dragons might have complaints about the Celestial Court and would no longer be grateful to Taibai Jinxing. Ao Bing would become the immortal god of the Celestial Court, and the Dragons would be more firmly bound to the Celestial Court.
The Dragons would be able to avoid falling into a battle with the human race, and the human race would have one less disaster.
Therefore, the goal that Li Changshou had to achieve through this matter was for the Dragons to lower their heads and accept the fact that they were just a part of the living beings of the world.
It was fine to be conceited, but they had to be conceited.
If they were dissatisfied, they would be eliminated as soon as possible.
Li Changshou did not want the human race to rule the Dragons. He just wanted the Dragons to reproduce quietly in the four seas and not have the idea of competing with the human race for the world.
That was also a way for Li Changshou to protect the human race.
The old Dao Protector.
Of course, Li Changshou's arrangements would not only take into account the Dragons.
As long as the follow-up plan was under his control …
Forget it, I'll be steady and not plant the flag.
He would intervene in time to prevent Nezha's tragedy from happening.
The Heavenly Dao needed a golden fighter. The human race was created by Goddess Nuwa using the Connate Dao Body as a template. Its potential was not inferior to any treasure body.
According to Li Changshou's current understanding of the Dao and his research of the Heavenly Dao, the lotus flower treasure body of Nezha in the script of the Heavenly Dao actually used incense merit as the core. It limited the upper limit of Nezha.
Ling Zhuzi had resolutely bade farewell to the little rabbit because his cultivation path had been blocked. He worked hard to reincarnate as a human and cultivate again.
Since Li Changshou had promised Ling Zhuzi, he would naturally do his best to help him attain the perfected Great Dao.
There were no perfect schemes and arrangements in the world. It was the same for this plan.
The Dragons needed a sacrifice with sufficient weight. Ao Bing was the chosen "destiny".
Li Changshou sighed in his heart and did not comment.
A long time ago, he had already been thinking about whether everything he had done was part of the script of the Heavenly Dao.
However, Li Changshou used about a few decades to obtain an accurate result.
"No."
From then on, Li Changshou learned to "draw" from the bottom of his heart. Then, he used a brush and ink to write some schemes that were beneficial to him and the Heavenly Dao on the cloth.
He had already started to deceive the Heavenly Dao more than six hundred years ago.
Ao Bing's death was ultimately a choice made by the Dragons's higher-ups. It was directly related to him, Taibai Jinxing. However, it was indeed the best solution to the crisis the Dragons were facing.
On the way back to Chentang Pass, Li Changshou seemed to have heard the sizzling sound of the fuse burning quickly. However, he could not help but want to laugh.
There was no choice. Little Nezha's snoring was louder.
…
Starry Night, Li Residence.
Nezha was sleeping soundly in Lady Yin's room. In the living room of the front yard, there were a few famous immortals in the Primordial World.
Grand Yin-Yang Master Taiyi, the hidden Yu Ding, the superstar of the Celestial Court, Yang Jian, Perfected Huang Long, who did not have any future blessings after surviving a calamity, and Li Changshou's paper effigy.
Li Jing sat on the main seat. There was a hint of worry in his eyes, but he was more determined and determined.
Yang Jian saw that the hall had been silent for too long and took the initiative to ask, "Are you sure that the Dragons attacked first?"
"That's right." Li Jing nodded slowly and said seriously, "According to Nezha, the Third Dragon Prince likes to come to Chentang Pass to find mortal women to have fun. Nezha has taught him a few lessons, so the Third Dragon Prince has evil intentions and wants to kill him."
Yu Ding said slowly, "I'm afraid that the Dragons won't care about that … After all, the one who died is the Dragon King's son."
Huang Long pondered for a while. "This matter is not that simple. Sometimes, the Dragon King has to pay attention to the emotions of the Dragons."
Perfected Taiyi scoffed and cursed, "They schemed and were killed by Nezha. Why do they still have to plead guilty to my precious disciple?"
Huang Long said in a low voice, "Just as Junior Brother Yu Ding said, the one who died is the Third Prince of the Donghai Dragon Palace."
"Why?" Perfected Taiyi said calmly, "Can the Dragon Prince have more parts than the other Dragons?"
"Uncle-Master, this is not the time to be angry," Yang Jian said in a low voice. "The Dragons have now submitted to the Celestial Court. Before I rushed over, I had asked someone to investigate. Ao Bing also has the position of the assistant god of the Celestial Court.
If the Dragons insist on this matter, it will indeed be disadvantageous to us. "
"Don't worry about the Celestial Court," Li Changshou said with a smile. "Just talk about the Dragons."
Perfected Taiyi was puzzled. "How did this little prince of the Dragons become an immortal god of the Celestial Court?
Is the standards set by the Celestial Court so loose? "
Li Changshou said seriously, "The Dragons belong to the Water God in name. I am now the Water God. However, I have long given the authority to replace the mortal envoys and the Water Gods of the various unimportant water systems to the Hall of Enlightenment.
Most likely, when the Hall of Enlightenment saw that it was the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the East Ocean, they turned a blind eye and gave him the position of an assistant god. "
Perfected Yu Ding asked, "Could there be a scheme by the Dragons here?"
"There should be." Li Changshou nodded calmly.
It was not convenient for him to mention his arrangements for the Dragons to any relatives or friends.
"Ah." Li Jing sighed and said, "Now, we can only deal with the situation.
Nezha is my third son. Although I, Li Jing, am not a mighty figure or a great mystical ability, I am just a mortal commander, right and wrong are in the hearts of the people.
If the Dragons come and cause trouble, I will ask them why they can be so ruthless to kill a child who is not even three years old! "
Boom …
As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, rumbling thunder suddenly sounded above his head. The sky and earth of Chentang Pass changed, and the starry sky was covered by dark clouds.
The rain poured down without any warning. The mortals who were originally moving around in the streets hurriedly returned home to avoid the rain. The entire Chentang Pass quickly quietened down.
The immortals in the hall had the same solemn expression.
Layers of waves rose in the East Ocean and bombarded the cliff by the sea.
There seemed to be more than ten faintly discernible pressures in the world. In the low and thick dark clouds above Chentang Pass, azure dragons surged up and down. As lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, their figures were faintly discernible as they walked to the sky above the military headquarters.
"Where is Li Jing of Chentang Pass?"
