Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 206 Behold the Emperor's Majesty! The True Number One Connections Provider in the Three Realms is Coming!

——Buzz!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this moment, heaven and earth suddenly fell into a suffocating stillness.

The Great Emperor of Fengdu, the Supreme Ruler of the Underworld!
This being, in terms of authority, strength, and status, surpasses all the Star Lords and is a truly supreme deity who rules over a realm.

He—

He actually came here in person!?

……

"Oh my god!!!!!"

At this moment, whether it was the immortals of the Ministry of War or the immortals watching from afar, they all felt a chill explode from their spines and rush straight to the top of their heads.

Several immortals who had attained enlightenment in the mortal realm were so shocked that they lost their composure and blurted out a common human expression.

In a single encounter, he refined the Heavenly Court's military general, the Giant Spirit God, and transformed him into a ghost general of the Underworld.

Such supernatural powers are truly terrifying.

Even the usually composed Li family's three sons—Jinzha, Muzha, and Nezha—felt an unprecedented and terrifying pressure, as if Buzhou Mountain had collapsed, pressing heavily on their shoulders.

Such an existence could probably only be matched by their master in person.

--But?!

Why would such a powerful being appear here and exert such dominance over the Cloud Tower Palace?

"Who exactly did Father detain that attracted so many immortals to intervene?"

Jinzha and Muzha were filled with doubt and were greatly surprised.

Only in Nezha's eyes did a fleeting, elusive glint appear.

Before the Plague Division's battle formation, a divine light suddenly descended upon the miasma sea. Zhou Xin, the Eastern Plague Envoy, clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed deeply, his voice booming like a bell: "Star Lord!"

The Plague God nodded in acknowledgment, and Zhou Xin respectfully stepped aside to stand in attendance, his expression solemn.

The Water Deity and the Twenty-Eight Constellations were all taken aback upon seeing this.

Water Deity transmitted his thoughts and asked, "Does this young friend also have a connection with the Underworld?"

Jun Caishen nodded in response: "That's right, my sworn brother is not only the Plague Master of the Plague Department, but also holds the position of 'General of Mighty Righteousness' in the Underworld."

Water Deity Star Lord raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Young friend Lu is indeed a remarkable person, capable of holding office in two realms."

Jun Caishen smiled slightly, but secretly marveled at it.

He had thought that the Emperor of Fengdu would at most send five ghost emperors, but he did not expect that the Emperor himself would come in person.

--Do not!

--wrong!
Upon closer inspection, the divine eye revealed that the Great Emperor of Fengdu had only sent an avatar.

Even so, it is still shocking enough.

……

Inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

As the Emperor of Fengdu descended, Lan'er's dragon body stiffened once again.

"You, a mere general of the Underworld, actually managed to persuade the Supreme Being of the Underworld?"

Lu Chen scratched his head and coughed lightly: "Didn't I already say that I am the future God of Wealth of the Underworld appointed by the Supreme One?"

That being said.

But the arrival of the Supreme One was truly a great surprise to him.

Unexpectedly, all the connections I had built up over the years came in handy when I was in trouble and in dire straits.

They all offered their help.

I truly deserve to be called the God of Cold Stove!

"Oh, right..." Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and asked, "Even the Supreme One has come, so does that mean we don't need to find a way to escape ourselves?"

Lan'er shook her head: "I said, even if all eight departments arrive today, Master... will never let you out. Unless the Great Heavenly Venerable issues a decree."

Lu Chen retorted, "Aren't you overestimating the strength of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King?"

Lan'er scoffed, "If you don't believe me, just watch. If it were really going to be a fight, it would have started long ago. This stalemate clearly shows that all the powerful figures are wary. And perhaps... the Great Celestial Venerable's envoy is already on his way."

"Imperial Envoy? Who is that?"

"Who else could it be but Li Changgeng, the Western Golden Virtue Tai Bai Tian Hao Xing Jun, the head of the Heavenly Court's civil officials."

Lan'er changed the subject, her tone now filled with obvious reverence:

"However, in terms of true cultivation and supernatural powers, I think none of the great beings present here are his match, not even the Great Emperor of Fengdu. Do you know Him?"

"Know them? I know them all too well!"

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly gleamed. —Venus!
This is one of the most renowned deities in the Taoist system, and also the ultimate form of the number one connected person in the Three Realms in his mind.

"Wonderful! This great master is my idol!"

Lu Chen couldn't wait to meet this legendary powerful figure.

……

Outside Yunlou Palace.

As the imperial carriage of the Great Emperor of Fengdu arrived, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, after a brief moment of astonishment, regained his senses and bowed, asking:

"May I ask Your Majesty, why are you also getting involved in this matter? Could it be that the person in the tower also has a connection with the Underworld?"

The Emperor of Fengdu stood with his hands behind his back and smiled calmly: "What King Li said is correct. This boy has a great affinity with the Underworld. Otherwise, there would be no need for me to trouble him."

However, my arrival today is not to intimidate. I humbly request that the Heavenly King grant me this favor and release the person. As for the rare treasure realm, the Heavenly King may take it as he sees fit.”

--hiss!

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King took a deep breath.

He never expected that this child would have such abilities and such a connection with the underworld.

It seems this kid's background is truly more profound than expected.

However, the treasure concerns the very essence of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King has no reason to back down.

Holding the pagoda in his hand, he replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have said the same thing many times, and I really do not wish to repeat it."

"Even if the Emperor himself were to arrive today, let alone an avatar, I, the commander... would still have to offend the Emperor."

Before he finished speaking, the divine light of the exquisite pagoda in his palm surged, instantly covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles.

The suppressive force spread out, causing the power of all the immortals and gods present to falter.

The eight-headed ghost generals' aura weakened drastically, and after their bodies twisted, they transformed back into giant spirit gods.

The latter dared not linger, hastily retracting his Dharma form and fleeing back behind Li Jing in a disheveled state, still shaken.

"Alas." The Emperor of Fengdu, seeing this, did not stop them, but merely sighed softly: "Marshal, you underestimate me too much. If I were to come in person, what could your entire Li family do? Unless—"

His gaze fell on Nezha, and he smiled knowingly: "Your Three Altars Sea Assembly God has broken the seal and released the Demonic Fiend, so he can actually fight against me."

As for the other two young masters, even if their master came, what could he do to me?

Upon hearing this, all the immortals were awestruck.

If such arrogant words had come from someone else, they would have been severely punished by the laws of heaven long ago.

But when spoken by the Supreme Being of the Underworld, it only exuded an aura of domineering power, leaving no room for dissent.

"Oh? Then this humble one would like to experience the divine might of the Emperor." Knowing there was no way to retreat, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King shouted in a deep voice, "Jinzha, Muzha, Nezha!"

“Your children are here!” Jinzha and Muzha replied in unison.

"I will handle the Emperor's affairs. Jinzha, go and meet with the Water Deity Star Lord."

"As ordered!"

"Muzha, since your supernatural powers can restrain the laws of the stars, the Twenty-Eight Constellations will be entrusted to you."

"Yes!"

"Nezha, you shall take over the Plague God's duties."

Upon hearing this, Nezha lay down on the crimson lotus platform in front of all the immortals and said lazily, "Forget it, I'm in a bad mood and don't want to fight."

Without saying a word, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King slowly turned the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda in his hand, which made a piercing hinge sound.

Nezha's face turned pale instantly, and he roared in pain, "Old man, you!"

This scene made all the immortals secretly take notice.

Everyone in Heaven knows that although Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and Nezha are nominally father and son, they are actually blood enemies.

Back then, Li Jing forced Nezha to his death. The latter cut off his bones to return to his father and his flesh to return to his mother. He died and his cultivation vanished. Fortunately, his master, Taiyi Zhenren, used lotus roots to reshape his immortal body, and he was able to attain the Great Dao.

Afterwards, Nezha repeatedly tried to kill Li Jing, but was suppressed by the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda bestowed by this powerful being, and eventually recognized the pagoda as his father.

His father-son relationship with Li Jing had long been a mere formality.

"Fight!" The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's expression hardened, and the divine light on the pagoda shone even brighter.

Nezha reluctantly stood up, brandished his Fire-Tipped Spear, and shouted, "Plague Lord! Let's find a quiet place and have a good fight!"

"Just to my liking."

A fighting spirit surged in the Plague God's eyes, and the miasma around him began to churn violently...
