Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

As far as I know, there was a Taoist named Shen Gongbao at that time. Jiang Ziya said that if the ruler of the world issued a decree to confer titles upon the gods, the divine punishment could be averted. At that time, the king did not quite believe it.

However, Shen Gongbao said that the Investiture of the Gods was a treasure left behind by Nuwa, which could not only eliminate divine punishment, but also absorb the vital energy of all the dead in the world, which is what people call souls.

Shen Gongbao also said, "As long as Your Majesty opens the Investiture of the Gods, all this vital energy will belong to me and be at my disposal!"

"So the king thought that the more people died, the stronger the power of the Investiture of the Gods would be, and divine retribution might not be a bad thing. He never thought about eliminating divine retribution."

If I understand correctly, he wanted to use the Investiture of the Gods to kill more people. Moreover, in order to verify the authenticity of the Investiture of the Gods, the king killed a person on the spot to see if the Investiture of the Gods could really absorb people's souls!

I believe that Jiang Ziya fled with the Investiture of the Gods because he did not want the king to use it to indiscriminately kill innocent people!

However, divine retribution had already begun, and the only solution was to replace the ruler of the land. Therefore, Jiang Ziya later chose to support Yin Jiao.

After hearing E Shun's explanation, Tang Yu felt numb.

In her view, if what Jiang Ziya said was true, he was ordered by Yuanshi Tianzun to descend the mountain to present the Investiture of the Gods and prevent divine punishment.

Doesn't this mean that even gods can't directly stop divine punishment, and can only send a disciple down to find the ruler of the world?

Are the gods in this world really that useless?

She then thought of what had happened in her hometown, where all the necessary precautions had been taken to prevent the spread of the plague.

But Heaven deliberately created all sorts of unexpected events, determined to let the plague spread.

Based on all the information gathered so far, the only way to stop the divine punishment seems to be to find the universal ruler?

Could the supreme ruler of the world be the son of Heaven?

Only by finding this universal ruler and elevating him to the position of the new universal ruler can Heaven ensure that the people of the world live a good life.

What utterly absurd logic is this!

Tang Yu couldn't help but curse in her heart. In her eyes, the most absurd and hateful thing in the world was the way of heaven!

The second most absurd thing is that so-called Investiture of the Gods!

"What is the sovereign of all under heaven?"

Tang Yuqiang suppressed his anger and asked the father and son in front of him.

Marquis E Chongyu of the South reacted quickly and answered immediately.

"Heaven has abandoned Yin Shou; the next ruler of the world will surely be the chosen one!"

"So it's Yin Jiao?"

Tang Yu smiled and pressed for an answer. E Chongyu, however, looked hesitant and carefully considered his words.

"It may be him, or it may be someone else, but it is clear that the person chosen by Jiang Ziya and other cultivators from Kunlun is Yin Jiao."

Why don't you answer?

Tang Yu turned her gaze to E Shun, who had been silent all along, and asked.

E Shun slightly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Because I don't understand. I used to think that the king was a true hero, but after he killed his father and the king, the heavens were displeased and sent down divine punishment, causing countless deaths and injuries among the people."

If the king has indiscriminately killed his own father and brothers, then how many people has Heaven indiscriminately killed? So I don't understand what kind of person Heaven has chosen as the next ruler of the world. I don't even understand why Heaven would send down divine punishment.

If the king had been able to rule the world well and allow the people to live in peace and prosperity after killing his father and brother, I think his killing of his father and brother would not have been such a big deal.

In my opinion, the King may have indiscriminately killed no more than a hundred innocent people, but Heaven has already indiscriminately killed countless innocent people. I believe the true perpetrator is Heaven itself!

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally dark night sky suddenly flashed with lightning and thunder, and a fierce wind howled.

Marquis E Chongyu of the South tensed up instantly and hurriedly warned E Shun, "Son, don't talk nonsense!"

Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, as she had no idea why the two of them had been husband and wife before.

But at this moment, she truly felt that their souls were drawn to each other.

"You're absolutely right. If King Yin Shou of Shang was a beast who indiscriminately killed innocent people and committed countless evils, then the Way of Heaven is an even more twisted and vicious evil god than Yin Shou!"

As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, she and E Shun exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with a tacit understanding and attraction that others could not comprehend.

Marquis E Chongyu of the South was terrified, his face turning deathly pale, as the night sky above was once again filled with lightning and thunder, as if venting endless rage.

"Are you two crazy? It's one thing to insult others, but how can you stand here and keep criticizing the Way of Heaven!"

A surge of passion welled up in E Shun's heart. He felt as if his world had been shrouded in a fog, and he was ignorant and unaware of the truth.

They followed the king's lead in everything, doing whatever the king told them to do, seemingly without any sense of right or wrong, and without any of their own thoughts.

But from the moment he was forced by the king to kill his father tonight, he came to his senses and realized that he had been used and controlled by the king all along.

He was prepared to die with his father, but he never expected that Tang Yu, this mysterious woman, would appear and save him and his son.

After talking with Tang Yu here, he felt his thinking becoming clearer and clearer, and he could understand everything.

The woman in front of him also gave him an extremely strong sense of familiarity.

Even though the other person didn't say anything special, the two of them seemed to understand each other's thoughts and feelings.

“Father, you weren’t afraid of death in the palace, and neither was I! So why should we be afraid of fate now? The worst outcome is just that we, father and son, will die again!”

But what does it matter? There are many bad people in this world, but I now believe that the wrath of Heaven is the true culprit!

E Shun became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes shining with determination.

"Well said!" Tang Yu clapped his hands and continued, "My name is Tang Yu, and my surname is E Shun. Shall we do something earth-shattering?"

"What earth-shattering event?" E Shun asked curiously.

"I don't know how to cause trouble for the Heavenly Dao right now, but the Investiture of the Gods has already appeared in the mortal world. How about we find Jiang Ziya, snatch the Investiture of the Gods, and study it?"

This thought instantly made E Shun's eyes light up, and he felt an instinctive sense of trust in the woman in front of him.

There was an irresistible attraction between them, so he felt this method was perfect.

"Alright, let's snatch the Investiture of the Gods and study it!"

Marquis E Chongyu of the South had no idea how these two young men had suddenly become so crazy and impulsive.

He dares to rebel, and he can even defy the will of Heaven—this is simply insane!

"Father, please forgive my impulsive act. We have no way out."

Today, my son and I have fled Chaoge. Soon, the King will surely lead his army to conquer us. In our southern lands, babies are dying at birth. Fighting the army sent by Chaoge will not stop the spread of divine retribution; on the contrary, it will cause our people to dwindle.

The best way to solve a problem is to address its root cause. Therefore, rather than seeking a universal ruler, I believe studying the Investiture of the Gods is a faster way to prevent divine retribution!

E Shun spoke earnestly, trying to persuade his father.

Looking at his beloved son, Marquis E Chongyu of the South recalled the time when Yin Shou forced his son to kill him, and his son turned around and killed Yin Shou. At that time, they almost died together in the palace.

Having escaped death, this does not mean that they will be able to live in peace and prosperity in the future. On the contrary, the people of the entire Southland will face an even more difficult life.

"Fairy Tang Yu, E Shun is just an ordinary mortal. He has no power to resist gods, immortals, demons, or monsters. Please find a way to protect him!"

Tang Yu asked with a smile, "Is the Marquis returning to the South?"

E Chongyu nodded, his expression solemn.

"The world is about to descend into chaos. The people of the south are already filled with fear and anxiety. If I do not return soon, internal strife may break out."

Besides, if Chaoge were to send a large army to conquer us, I would have to lead my troops to resist and protect my people!

"Then I will lend you a hand, my lord, and send you back to the south as soon as possible. However, at the same time, there is something I need your help with."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Marquis E Chongyu of the South nodded without hesitation.

"You saved my son and me today. Just tell me what you need help with, and I'll do it if it's within my power!"

"To tell you the truth, I still have family in the world; they originally lived in the North."

But now the northern lands are about to be controlled by E Chongbiao. The Marquis must have seen his character and methods in the main hall.

In addition, the plague in the north is rampant and completely out of control. I am really worried about the safety of my family, so I want to move them to the south.

Although things are difficult in the south now, as long as they don't have children for a while and avoid the terrible tragedy of infant mortality, at least there won't be any other truly fatal dangers.

Upon hearing this, E Chongyu's eyes lit up.

Tang Yu's strength was too great, and he was already somewhat wary of him. Now that the other party had taken the initiative to send his family over, it meant that both sides had handed over their weaknesses to each other.

Although this was not their original intention, it at least reassured each other that everyone has their own weaknesses.

Next, Tang Yu flew directly on his sword, sending E Chongyu back to the South at top speed.

Then, she turned and headed north to bring her family over.

During her busy period, several major events occurred in Chaoge.

After Tang Yu moved his entire family to the south, E Shun immediately told them everything about the situation in Chaoge.

"After we escaped that night, the situation in Chaoge deteriorated rapidly and became increasingly chaotic."

Apart from Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, the other two marquises died tragically in the main hall. Although Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, did not die, he was ordered by Yin Shou to be imprisoned in the dungeon, and his fate was unknown.

Queen Jiang committed suicide by drowning. Not long after, Yin Jiao sneaked into the palace at night, attempting to kill his father and the king. He has since fled and his whereabouts are unknown.

In just a few days, the situation in Chaoge underwent a dramatic transformation.

"Are these reports true? Do you have reliable sources?"

Upon hearing Tang Yu's question, E Shun nodded firmly, his tone resolute.

"My father has placed people in Chaoge, this is the latest news."

However, the situation in Chaoge has been changing rapidly these past few days, and new developments may occur, as news always takes some time to get back.

Upon hearing E Shun's answer, Tang Yu, thinking of Jiang Ziya who had not yet appeared, subconsciously asked a question.

"Although Yin Jiao has escaped, Yin Shou will certainly not let his son go. Do you think Jiang Ziya will go after Yin Jiao, since he wants to support Yin Jiao to become the next ruler of the world?"

"Very likely! If Jiang Ziya really goes to find Yin Jiao, then we might be able to follow the clues and find their whereabouts, and get one step closer to the Investiture of the Gods!"

E Shun became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if he could already see the Investiture of the Gods within reach.

The two exchanged a smile, a smile full of tacit understanding and determination. Without needing many words, they had reached a consensus and decided to set off for Chaoge immediately.

Tang Yu flew very fast on his sword. After making his decision, E Shun immediately went to say goodbye to his father.

Looking at his spirited young son, E Chongyu was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, his emotions too complex to express.

"Child, do you like that fairy? She seems to have very powerful magic, and I'm afraid you'll be unable to have her."
