Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1780 - 1,139 Raising the Jade Emperor_2

Anyway, the eruption of conflict is something for the future. To vex Taiyi and the others and disrupt the Immortal World’s plans, Jiang Chen can temporarily suppress his displeasure and fully support Zhen Yuanzi.

...

"Damn it!"

Taiyi and others are currently extremely frustrated. There’s no way they can agree to Jiang Chen’s demands. Not to mention the forces each of the three represent, the value of the three realm masters alone is enough to make them refuse Jiang Chen’s request.

The three realm masters are three Primordial Chaos 5th Level Dao Fruits. They have paid countless costs to condense these three powerful Primordial Dao Fruits.

Yet the result is, even before they decided whom to give them to, they now have to give them away freely to outsiders — how could they possibly be willing?

If they were to agree to Jiang Chen’s request, wouldn’t their countless years of effort all be working for others?

"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated"— such a demand they would never agree to.

The Saint of Taiqing frowned slightly, contemplating how to resolve this issue.

He also felt Jiang Chen’s request was reasonable. Yet he was further aware that regardless, Taiyi and the others wouldn’t agree to it.

If he were Taiyi, he wouldn’t agree either.

At least leave two of the realm masters to one’s own people; there’s no reason to hand them all over. Keeping two is the bottom line for Taiyi and the others—going beyond this limit, it would be better to directly break off relations.

For someone like Jiang Chen, who outright demands to take all of the opponent’s chips, it really isn’t the attitude a negotiation should have; it’s more like forcing people onto a dead end.

Jiang Chen’s current attitude indeed seems to be pressing Taiyi and the others to break off relations.

Yet this is not right, even if Jiang Chen wants to break off relations, it shouldn’t be now. Before establishing the Immortal World, with such a good opportunity, he didn’t do so; now that the Immortal World has been established, what use is there to break off relations? It would only cost him more.

Thus, at this moment, the Saint of Taiqing became somewhat puzzled about Jiang Chen’s intentions.

"Taiyi and Mother Earth have enmities, while the celestial beings are not on good terms with Empress Nuwa. Given they are the ones who established the Immortal World, we still need to consider their opinions.

"Why don’t we each take a step back and choose realm masters from among the rest of the Great Divine Transcendents?"

After a long silence, the Saint of Taiqing tentatively asked.

His perspective was also reasonable; although Taiyi and others made mistakes initially, they are ultimately the founders of the Immortal World, so some consideration must be given to them, not making things too absolute to avoid harming the reputation of the Mystic Sect.

Yet his request was certainly disagreed upon by Jiang Chen’s supporters.

Having found an opportunity to directly take over the Immortal World, how could they let it go so lightly? At the very least, they must dig a large slice from the Immortal World.

"Others have no merit; how are they qualified to assume the position of realm master?"

In an instant, several Saints spoke up to argue with the Saint of Taiqing, and as time passed, more and more Great Divine Transcendents joined in, causing the situation to gradually spiral out of control.

At this moment, Jiang Chen felt the timing was about right and suddenly spoke, "Since everyone can’t decide, let’s invite someone who can make a decision."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, the group teetering on the brink of losing control immediately calmed down, all looking at Jiang Chen with difficulty.

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, without bother, spoke directly with worry, "For such a minor issue, to disturb the master’s meditation seems a bit of an overreaction."

Upon this, everyone nodded and agreed, "Indeed, indeed, such trivial matters don’t need to alarm the Taoist Ancestor."

Everyone believed that Jiang Chen was referring to the Taoist Ancestor as the one who could make a decision. At present, the Taoist Ancestor’s words are indeed the most influential. However, with the situation looking so ugly, if they let the Taoist Ancestor see it, there was no escaping a scolding.

Thus, none want to summon the Taoist Ancestor.

"You all misunderstand. The person I am referring to who can make a decision is not the Taoist Ancestor, but Emperor Haotian."

"Do not forget, the Jade Emperor is the current Lord of Honghuang, and the Immortal World is also a part of the Prehistoric World. Since we cannot make a decision, let’s invite the Jade Emperor to adjudicate."

Smiling, Jiang Chen said.

This was his trump card; regardless of whether everyone acknowledges the Jade Emperor in their hearts, it cannot change the fact that he is the Tiandi.

In theory, as long as the Jade Emperor does not abdicate, matters of Honghuang will be governed by his word.

Jiang Chen’s suggestion to have the Jade Emperor adjudicate is justifiable in name, and since the Taoist Ancestor won’t appear, the most suitable person to resolve this matter is undoubtedly the Jade Emperor.

Despite the Saints’ high status, it is still no match for the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor oversees all affairs of Honghuang on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, a power unmatched by the Saints.

Thus, faced with the Saints’ proposal, everyone may directly ignore it. But when it comes to the Jade Emperor’s proposal, everyone must have a suitable reason to refuse execution.

"The Jade Emperor!"

Suddenly hearing the Jade Emperor’s name from Jiang Chen’s mouth, everyone was momentarily stunned. Then, their gaze toward Jiang Chen became peculiar.

Jiang Chen’s actions here could thoroughly be interpreted as elevating the Jade Emperor. Though the Jade Emperor is the Lord of Honghuang, who normally takes him seriously?

However, in this current situation, Jiang Chen’s proposal to invite the Jade Emperor to adjudicate undeniably raises the Jade Emperor’s position to the height he deserves, giving this puppet Tiandi real power.

If today’s events are resolved by the Jade Emperor’s decision, then the Jade Emperor’s prestige will soar. Who would dare claim in the future that the Jade Emperor is a mere puppet?

The Saints could not mediate the situation, yet he did, an ordeal that could potentially destroy the entire Chaos World, resolved with just a few words from him.

What else could this be called but the Tiandi?

Recalling earlier when Jiang Chen proposed to the Jade Emperor’s daughter, the crowd couldn’t help but lament inwardly that Jiang Chen certainly works hard to please his father-in-law, even coming up with such a method.

Simultaneously, they understood that the Jade Emperor’s daughter would have no choice but to marry Jiang Chen. With the son-in-law working so diligently, what reason could he have not to acknowledge it?

While lamenting, the crowd couldn’t help but be somewhat envious. Why couldn’t they find such a son-in-law?

Surpassing the Saints, adjudicating the gods, even if just momentarily, it is enough to boast about for a lifetime.

Di Jun had governed the Heaven Court for so long, dreamed of achieving such a feat, yet ultimately never succeeded.

If the Jade Emperor could accomplish this, then his tenure as Tiandi would be gratifying and complete, with no further regrets.

After Jiang Chen spoke, none of the Great Divine Transcendents present, including the Saints, offered any rebuttal.

No matter their thoughts, the Jade Emperor is nominally the common ruler of Honghuang, and the respect he deserves is obligatory; who would dare say he lacks the qualification to adjudicate this matter?

To challenge Tiandi’s authority — do they truly think the Heavenly Dao would not kill?

"Since everyone has no objections, let us proceed to Miluo Heaven to seek the Jade Emperor’s decision."

Seeing there were no objections, Jiang Chen took the lead and headed toward Miluo Heaven, where the Jade Emperor was located.

Everyone was left with no choice but to follow.

"Fellow Saints, the Jade Emperor is about to abdicate, we should accord him dignity, otherwise, how can we face the Taoist Ancestor thereafter?"

En route, Jiang Chen secretly voiced this to the four Saints of the Mystic Sect. He primarily feared that the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and the Saint of Taiqing would publicly challenge the Jade Emperor’s decision, causing the situation to stall again.

Therefore, he proposed that in the light of the Jade Emperor’s impending abdication, they accord him respect. In this way, it wouldn’t be appropriate for the two to oppose the Jade Emperor’s orders.

After all, the Jade Emperor was appointed Tiandi by the Taoist Ancestor, and issuing a final command before abdication, should it be disrupted, who would lose face more than the Jade Emperor — the Taoist Ancestor included?

Indeed, upon hearing Jiang Chen’s words, the Saint of Taiqing and Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s expressions darkened, nearly losing composure. Words have reached this point, what else can they do?

Miluo Heaven arrived instantly, but the Jade Emperor did not appear; instead, Tianyao Goddess awaited the crowd, holding his edict.

"Just recently, father and mother have entered tribulation reincarnation, leaving this edict before they departed."

Facing the gathered gods, Tianyao Goddess showed no fear, calmly presenting the Jade Emperor’s edict.

The Jade Emperor knew dealing with this matter would be difficult, so he left an order and directly entered tribulation reincarnation with the Queen Mother.

It didn’t matter if his decision was upheld or not; it was beyond his concern now.

"This..."

The crowd didn’t expect the Jade Emperor to be so decisive, departing without even a word.

Now it’s settled; they cannot easily dismiss his order.

If they do not comply, soon rumors in Honghuang would claim that the Jade Emperor succumbed to their pressure, thus forced into tribulation reincarnation.

The Jade Emperor used his departure to compel acceptance of his decree.

"Let’s see what the Jade Emperor has decreed then."

The crowd resigned, they turned their attention to the Jade Emperor’s edict.
