Chapter 148 That's right, the culprit is none other than the Queen Mother of the West!

The golden light and the sixteen-colored light were locked in a stalemate in mid-air for no more than three breaths before the Sanskrit runes on the surface of the exquisite pagoda began to shatter inch by inch. Li Jing's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to retrieve the magic weapon, but it was too late.

Before everyone's eyes, the seven-story golden pagoda exploded into countless fragments. Golden debris rained down, turning half the sky golden. Li Jing staggered backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face was ashen. This exquisite pagoda was his natal magic weapon. With the pagoda destroyed, his mind was also severely injured.

Before everyone could recover from the shock of the shattered pagoda, a red figure flashed across the battlefield like lightning.

Nezha moved!

He rode on his Wind and Fire Wheels, and the Universe Ring in his hand transformed into a golden rainbow, precisely positioned against Li Jing's neck. The flames spewed from the Wind and Fire Wheels roared behind Li Jing, while the Fire-Tipped Spear was casually stuck into the clouds, its tip still trembling slightly.

"Li Jing!"

Nezha's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly carried throughout the entire battlefield. He stood behind Li Jing, the edge of his Universe Ring pressed against Li Jing's throat, a youthful, arrogant smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

"You've finally met your match."

He spoke those four words very softly, as if talking to himself, or as if resentment that had been building up for hundreds of years had finally found an outlet.

Li Jing's body stiffened. He could feel the icy touch of the Qiankun Ring. The magic weapon he had personally given to Nezha was now pressed against his vitals. If Nezha were to flick his wrist, his head would be severed.

"You unfilial son! What are you going to do?!"

Li Jing's voice trembled. He wanted to turn around and look at Nezha, but the Qiankun Circle was too tight, and he couldn't even turn his head.

"Rebellious son?"

Nezha scoffed, "Li Jing, back in Chen Tang Pass, I already returned my flesh to my mother and my bones to my father. When you suppressed me with the Exquisite Pagoda, you didn't treat me like a son. Now that the pagoda is shattered, you suddenly remember I'm your son?"

"Enough with the nonsense."

Nezha's smile vanished, and he tightened his grip, the golden light of the Universe Ring leaving a shallow bloody mark on Li Jing's neck. "Give me a straight answer, will you surrender or not?"

Nezha was unaware of Yang Jian's plan, since Yang Jian hadn't even told his loyal dog, Xiaotian. But now, after Shen Yi's explanation, Yang Jian felt he couldn't keep it a secret any longer, and there was no need to hide it.

So, as Yang Jian's good brother, he had learned of the rebellion plan from Yang Jian not long ago. However, Yang Jian did not let him expose it too early, so he could only hold his nose and continue to be the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas in the Heavenly Court, pretending to be friendly with Li Jing every day. Now that the Linglong Pagoda is broken and the morale of the 200,000 heavenly soldiers and generals is low, it is the best time to rebel.

He even secretly hoped that Li Jing would refuse to surrender, and that he would kill Li Jing with a single blow from his Universe Ring, thus settling this old debt owed for hundreds of years.

"surrender!"

But as the saying goes, no one is better than their father. Li Jing clearly read this dangerous thought in Nezha's eyes. Li Jing almost shouted it out, his voice so sharp it cracked. As if afraid Nezha wouldn't hear him, he repeated it again, "I surrender!"

surrender!"

"cut."

Nezha pouted, making no attempt to hide his disappointment. He put away his Universe Ring, casually patted Li Jing on the shoulder, almost knocking the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King flat on his face. "Spineless, not like me at all."

Li Jing:

With Li Jing's surrender, the 200,000 heavenly soldiers and generals looked at each other, then at the horde of demon soldiers and flower fairies in front of the Jingtan Temple, and put down their weapons.

If the commander-in-chief has surrendered, why should these soldiers risk their lives?

In an instant, 200,000 silver-armored heavenly soldiers threw down their weapons in unison, creating a spectacular scene that even Pigsy in the Clean Altar Temple couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"It's gone down like that?"

Pigsy scratched his ear, looking incredulous. He had been Marshal Tianpeng for thousands of years, but he had never seen the Heavenly Army surrender. But this time, there was no way out; it seemed like they couldn't escape!

Shen Yi stood on the steps in front of the Jingtan Temple, looking at the heavenly soldiers and generals kneeling all over the mountains and plains. He stroked his chin, but in his heart he had already begun to plan his next move.

Fighting a war is easy, but dealing with the aftermath is troublesome. Two hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals are not two hundred thousand pigs. Killing them would be too wasteful, and releasing them would be risky. The best solution would be to incorporate them into the army. However, the heavenly soldiers and generals have been in the Heavenly Court for thousands of years, and their deep-rooted obedience to the Jade Emperor cannot be erased by a single defeat.

He needed a reason, a reason that would make these heavenly soldiers and generals feel justified in betraying the Heavenly Court.

Shen Yi cleared his throat, his voice carrying magical power, and clearly resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

"My fellow heavenly soldiers and generals, I know that many of you are still hesitant."

His tone was calm, as if he were speaking to surrendered soldiers, but rather lecturing students in a classroom: "You are thinking, you are soldiers of Heaven, you eat Heaven's salary, and now you are betraying Heaven, isn't that disloyal and unjust?"

Heavenly soldiers and generals:

Don't say things that everyone already knows, so as not to make everyone feel awkward.

Have you ever thought about this question?

Shen Yi held up one finger. "How did this war start?"

The celestial soldiers and generals looked at each other, none daring to speak. "We are celestial soldiers and generals," they thought, "shouldn't we obey orders?" They needed to think about...

Should we do this?

"Is it because the Holy Mother of the Third Princess married a mortal?"

Shen Yi asked and answered himself, "The Third Holy Mother's marriage violated the Heavenly Laws, so the Heavenly Court had to suppress it, so you had to go to war, so we fought battle after battle at the Pure Altar Temple. Everything is reasonable, right?"

Many heavenly soldiers nodded subconsciously, for this was the news they had heard.

"But here's the problem."

Shen Yi abruptly changed the subject, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Why can the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother marry, but the Third Holy Mother can't?"

The heavenly soldiers were stunned. Yes, why?

Modern mythology always revolves around the premise that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are husband and wife. But once this premise exists, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother become the first people to violate the heavenly rules.

You have to understand that if it weren't for Yang Jian's help, the Jade Emperor's family would have been twenty people. Even pigs can't reproduce that many times!

Pig Bajie:

The reason why people didn't realize it before might be because of the needs of the plot, or perhaps they were afraid to say it, worried that if it were made clear, "Yeah, why is it that only your Jade Emperor's family can live happily ever after and have children, while we heavenly soldiers and generals can only stand at the door to guard your gate?"

The battlefield was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The heavenly soldiers looked at each other, their confusion turning into something subtle.

"So the Jade Emperor marrying the Queen Mother was definitely not wrong. Then the question is, who was wrong?"

Upon hearing this, even Li Jing began to doubt his own existence. The Heavenly Laws were certainly correct, but given the current situation, someone must be wrong.

And so a disrespectful thought arose in everyone's mind—

"That's right, the culprit is none other than the Queen Mother of the West!"

Everyone: ? ? ?
