The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

"Does King Li want a son? Perhaps this golden son? Or this silver son?"

With a wave of his hand, Luo Zu summoned the exquisite pagoda hidden in the void, which landed in his hand and released two Nezha figures of different colors.

"That's right, I don't just have these two, I also have bronze Nezha, tin Nezha, iron Nezha, wooden Nezha, dead Nezha, pig Nezha, so many, so many, which one do you want?" Luo Zu patted the exquisite pagoda again, and then as if by magic, he spat out thousands of Nezha figures from it.

Not to mention Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, even Taibai Jinxing, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

Is this monkey really that good at playing tricks on people?

"You damned monkey!" Li Tianwang was so angry that his teeth itched, as if he wanted to grind his back teeth to dust.

But Luo Zu was completely unaware, and walked into the South Heavenly Gate with a nonchalant swing of his arms.

He had only taken a few steps when he stopped again, then turned to Taibai Jinxing, who was standing there in a daze, and called out, "Old man, if we don't leave soon, the Great Celestial Venerable will send thirteen golden tablets to urge me on."

Venus could only bow to Li Jing before fleeing the area surrounded by various Nezhas.

"Father, Father..."

Then he heard the sweet calls of children behind him.

Those unaware of the inside story might think this is a scene of blissful family happiness, but those who know the underlying motives would be worried for Li Tianwang.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, save me!"

A beam of light suddenly rose from the ground in front of the South Heavenly Gate, shot into the gate, and flew towards the Lingxiao Palace in the Ninth Heaven where the Great Heavenly Venerable resided.

His escape technique was so advanced that even Venus, who was skilled in escape arts, dared not compare to it.

"No wonder I managed to reach the Buddha's seat in time and escape with my life back then," Venus thought to himself with a sigh.

That's normal. Without some tricks up your sleeve, how could any deity reach the status of Li Tianwang?

"Old man, are you going to lead the way or not?" Luo Zu's words interrupted Taibai Jinxing's deep thoughts.

He quickly bowed and scraped as he approached, saying, "Great Sage, please wait a moment. This humble old man will take you to pay homage to the Great Heavenly Venerable."

Venus's eyesight has returned, his steps are much lighter, and his complexion is much more pleasing.

"That's the right way to talk. How can you act so arrogant all the time? Do you gods think everyone owes you something?" Luo Zu commented on all the gods in the Heavenly Court.

"Great Sage's lesson is correct. Tomorrow I will report to the Great Heavenly Venerable that from now on, all deities must treat everyone with a smile when handling affairs, even if it is a mortal in person." Venus immediately understood the spirit and wanted to carry it out tenfold.

"Sigh, don't say that, it makes things difficult for me and the Great Celestial Venerable... Monkey, we need to slow down, take it easy, don't be too hasty." Luo Zu said this lightly.

But Venus was not at all relaxed. I was just casually agreeing, but you're really serious?

So he could only chuckle awkwardly twice and then continue leading the way.

When they were about fifty years old, the swarming Nezha also flew low through the sky, chasing after the direction in which Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, had fled.

Seeing this scene, Venus looked up and opened his mouth, unsure how to comment.

However, he had already secretly sent messages to various places, asking the star lords to come and protect the poem, the celestial river soldiers to drive warships to protect the Lingxiao Palace, and various merit officers, guardian deities, and the True Martial Emperor were also summoned by him.

Don't think he's incapable. He only appears kind in front of Luo Zu. His true identity is Taibai Jinxing, the god of war in the Heavenly Court. All the gods, generals, and heavenly soldiers, as well as the star lords and deities, must obey him.

Furthermore, if we allow these mindless Nezha to rampage through the Lingxiao Palace, countless gods will be reprimanded, their many achievements this year will be deducted, and they may even have to undergo a tribulation in the mortal realm before they can return.

Besides, if one is credited with saving the emperor, there's a chance of being promoted and gaining more experience.

So, in an instant, the entire Heavenly Court was thrown into complete chaos.

"Great Sage, why don't you relinquish your supernatural powers?" Taibai Jinxing then advised Luo Zu with a wry smile.

"Stop gossiping and bringing up trivial matters. Of course, Nezha should be the one to control these things. Ask him if he's willing." Luo Zu took out the exquisite pagoda and showed it to Taibai Jinxing, showing him the exhausted and still cursing Nezha on the first level.

"You demon monkey, if you have the guts, then kill me! Don't do these despicable things. Don't think that I'll submit to you by doing these things to slander me. I don't submit to you. I've never submitted to any of my countrymen, let alone a demon monkey like you!" Nezha continued to spout nonsense, attacking and cursing Luo Zu incessantly.

"Old man, do you see? This Nezha is full of treachery. Why don't I punish this scoundrel on behalf of the Heavenly Court today to make an example of him and eliminate any future troubles?" Before Luo Zu had even finished his trickery, he looked at Taibai Jinxing with a half-smile.

"Great Sage, no, this is absolutely not allowed! Although Nezha has offended us, his crime does not warrant death. Why don't you release him and then have him take back these things so that Nezha can atone for his crime through meritorious service?" Taibai Jinxing hurriedly said.

"Old man, don't panic. I never intended to take his life. I just wanted him to undergo some training in the pagoda to temper his arrogance. Afterward, I will return him to you in his entirety, and I guarantee he won't be missing any limbs." Luo Zu twisted the pagoda in his hand, and then golden light shone from the pagoda, enveloping Nezha, whose legs were already weak.

"Great Sage, you are merciful." Hearing this, what more could Venus say? There was no point in saying anything more.

Moreover, they had already arrived at the gate of the Lingxiao Palace, where a figure was blocking the entrance and whipping down a group of Nezha who were shooting towards them.

"Who is this?" Luo Zu asked.

"Reporting back to the Great Sage, this is Wang Lingguan," Venus replied.

"It's Wang Lingguan." Although Luo Zu knew this very well, he still pondered the name several times.

Wang Lingguan's Taoist cultivation was extraordinary, his martial arts were unparalleled, and his supernatural powers were unmatched. Therefore, even though this group of Nezha were fierce, they could not withstand a single blow from his mace or whip. (End of Chapter)
