Primordial Era: Humanity's Supreme Ruler, Abolishes Nuwa's Position as Holy Mother

Chapter 195 Nezha: If you want me to help, you'll have to exchange it for a magic weapon.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, looking at the heavenly soldiers and generals who had been slaughtered by Sun Wukong, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian clenched his fists, slumped over his desk, and grinned.

Although the heavenly soldiers and generals under his command who were willing to obey his orders were remnants of the ancient demon court, their strength was not particularly great.

But he never expected that Sun Wukong would be so powerful!

This expedition of 100,000 heavenly soldiers not only failed to capture Sun Wukong, but also suffered heavy losses and lost all face!

"Guards! Quickly go and invite the gods to a meeting!" roared the Heavenly Emperor Haotian.

This matter concerns the reputation of the Heavenly Court. If the primordial world were to learn of it, how would all races view the Heavenly Court? How would they view themselves?

Faced with the summons of the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, the gods naturally responded. After arriving at the Lingxiao Palace, they also saw the scene in the water mirror.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was still fighting, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall figure, like a demon god descending, clad in black armor and wielding a golden cudgel. Every time he swung it, rivers of blood flowed and mountains of corpses piled up.

Those gods were completely helpless against Sun Wukong, becoming lambs to the slaughter.

"Now a demon monkey has appeared in the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory. As you can see, whoever volunteers to go and annihilate this demon will be richly rewarded by this Emperor!" Heavenly Emperor Haotian roared. He knew he couldn't get the gods to obey his orders, so he tempted them with a reward.

Since the gods are listed on the Investiture of the Gods, they must be powerful enough to suppress Sun Wukong. Asking them to take action is indeed a good solution.

Unfortunately, all the gods were of human origin and had already received Chu Feng's orders that they could not take action without seeing the Supreme Token.

"This is a very difficult matter."

"I think we should go back and drink. What does what happens in Dongsheng Shenzhou have to do with us?"

The gods discussed the matter amongst themselves, but none of them took it seriously. Most importantly, none of them wanted to obey the commands of the Heavenly Emperor Haotian.

Even without the Supreme Decree, it would be the same.

Most of the humans who participated in the Investiture of the Gods had experienced the period of conflict between the Demon Court, the Sages, and the Supreme Beings, and therefore did not have much affection for the Heavenly Emperor Haotian.

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian looked at the gods with a gloomy face. Although he was angry, he was helpless.

Nezha, who was sitting on the steps eating fruit at the back of the group of gods, suddenly had a bright idea in his mind. He looked up and a golden token appeared in his mind.

The token had intricate patterns along its edges. Upon closer inspection, these patterns were formed by the names of the ancestors of the human race, arranged in order, with Chu Feng's name engraved at the very top.

At the same time, the Supreme Decree appeared in the minds of all the gods.

The once noisy Lingxiao Palace suddenly fell silent. The Heavenly Emperor Haotian frowned slightly, but upon careful perception, he did not find anything amiss.

"Nezha, listen to what the Heavenly Emperor Haotian says before you make your move, but remember to gain an advantage and not to defeat Sun Wukong."

Chu Feng sat in the Supreme Hall, studying the chess manual and transmitting his thoughts to the gods.

Nezha, who was still eating fruit, immediately stood up, threw away the pit, walked up to the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Heavenly Emperor, I may take action."

The gods looked at each other and did not try to dissuade them.

They also heard what Chu Feng said, and at this moment they were all thinking about how to get more good stuff for Nezha.

Although the Heavenly Emperor Haotian was puzzled, someone needed to take action at this moment, and given Nezha's considerable strength, suppressing Sun Wukong was a sure thing.

With a flick of his sleeve, he strode down the steps and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you. To ensure victory in this battle, all the heavenly soldiers and generals fighting the demon monkey will be under your command."

Nezha thought for a moment, but did not set off immediately, showing a troubled expression.

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian, puzzled, pressed, "What? Is there still something to worry about?"

"Heavenly Emperor, Nezha has descended to the mortal realm to subdue demons and monsters, but he has no means of proving his identity. How can he manage?" A celestial being stepped forward and asked with concern.

He stated that the heavenly soldiers and generals had been utterly routed, and if someone claimed to have gone there on orders but had no proof of identity, it would be difficult to convince the public.

The others chimed in, agreeing, "That's true. And that monkey is indeed formidable. If it's injured, it will be difficult to win without elixirs."

"In my opinion, if we take a hundred portions of each of Laozi's elixirs, Nezha will surely be able to vanquish demons and monsters for the Heavenly Emperor, and be invincible!" said the Lion of Heavenly Joy, with a bright smile.

"Magic treasures? How can we do without magic treasures?" Yang Jian stepped forward and said, "Those who are good at fighting always wield fine weapons. In the previous battle in the mortal realm, all of Nezha's weapons were taken away. Now, empty-handed, how can we possibly win?"

"Yeah yeah."

The gods were all talking amongst themselves, trying their best to get benefits for Nezha.

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian is usually stingy with the gods, so now that he has finally seized the opportunity, how could he let it go so easily?

Nezha, standing to the side, sighed helplessly and muttered to himself, "You guys are really ruthless, only targeting me."

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian's face had darkened.

He only asked Nezha what difficulties he was facing, but then all sorts of things came rushing in. He was annoyed, thinking, "You guys are never this enthusiastic before, why have you all changed today?"

"Ahem." The Heavenly Emperor Haotian coughed twice, interrupting the gods' discussion, and then asked Nezha, laughing, "What do you need? Just say it."

Nezha glanced at the gods, who all looked at him with eager eyes. Lei Zhenzi and Yang Jian urged Nezha to take it if he wanted, saying it was a waste not to, especially since the Heavenly Emperor Haotian had personally asked for it.

"I want Taiyi Zhenren's Wind and Fire Wheels. I'm very comfortable using those things. He took them after the last Investiture of the Gods. He's really stingy!" Nezha said, crossing his arms. "I also want some of Taishang Laojun's elixirs, and a few magical treasures from the Heavenly Treasury. If the Heavenly Emperor approves, I'll definitely deal with that monkey. I'll take care of things perfectly for you."

Upon hearing these conditions, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian felt somewhat troubled, but considering the dignity of the Heavenly Court, he nodded in agreement.

He first went to ask Laozi for elixirs, but there weren't a hundred of each kind, though there were still quite a few.

After obtaining the elixir, he personally went to the Thirty-Three Heavens to meet the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

"To retrieve the treasure?" Yuanshi asked in confusion.

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian stated that a monkey was causing trouble in the Eastern Continent, and Nezha was willing to suppress it, but he needed the help of Taiyi's Wind and Fire Wheels.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Tiandi Haotian and thought of the matter he had discussed with the two sages about dividing the human race's fortune through a great calamity. In order not to affect the grand plan, he nodded in agreement.

"We need to suppress that monkey first," Yuanshi Tianzun said meaningfully.

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian replied, "Indeed, that monkey is a scourge, disrespectful to the Heavenly Court, and even killed Taibai Jinxing. It is impossible to allow him to do evil."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sent someone to find the Immortal Taiyi and obtained the Wind and Fire Wheels.

After obtaining the magical treasure, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian immediately returned to the Heavenly Court and handed it over to Nezha.

Having just obtained the Wind and Fire Wheels, Nezha immediately used them in the Lingxiao Palace, drawing cheers from the gods.

"This thing is really useful." Nezha laughed, riding on his Wind Fire Wheels, hovering in mid-air holding his spear, and cupped his hands towards the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, saying, "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor."

After coughing, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian said, "It is my duty to go to war for the Heavenly Court. When you return, you can choose any of the magical treasures in the treasury."

"I will immediately go and capture the demon monkey for the Heavenly Emperor!"

Nezha clasped his hands in a fist salute, a smile playing on his lips, and rode his Wind Fire Wheels straight toward Flower Fruit Mountain.

"Nezha is still the best. He's innocent and naive, and he's the kind of person I like." Emperor Haotian sighed and smiled, temporarily putting aside the heavy weight in his heart.

Seeing this, the gods looked at each other, waiting to watch the show.
