Chapter 121 I will teach you how to be the emperor! (Subscribe)
You say I'm a coward?
Lord Haotian's face turned dark, and his gaze passed through the auspicious fairy mist in the Miro Palace and fell on the ignorant guy.
Yang Ling was seen standing in the center of the hall, complaining in a low voice to Li Changgeng, the Lord of the White Star, beside him. His face was full of indignation, and it seemed that he had heard about what happened in the Lingxiao Palace.
Li Changgeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Lord Haotian appear in the hall out of nowhere. He immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Lord Haotian waved his hand and said, "My dear, you can go down first."
"The minister obeys the order."
Li Changgeng responded, and as he retreated, he casually cast a look at Yang Ling that said "May you be lucky".
After he left, the anger that had been accumulating in Lord Haotian's heart suddenly erupted. He stared at Yang Ling and asked, "Were you just saying that I'm a coward?"
"Brother..."
"Call me Your Majesty!"
"I know you must be upset right now, brother!"
Yang Ling looked directly at Lord Haotian and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I also know that you, my brother-in-law, have endured such humiliation because of my husband and I.
But I still have to say that the Emperor's behavior today was clearly intended to provoke you!
His actions are simply pulling your weight on me, my brother-in-law... Anyway, I just can't stand it anymore!"
"so what?"
Yang Ling's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Lord Haotian's anger grow more intense. He looked at Yang Ling coldly and said in a cold voice:
"Do I have to fight with that Gou Chen in front of all the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace?"
"If you can't think of any other solution, you can just start a fight... Of course, this is definitely the worst option!"
Yang Ling looked at Lord Haotian and said calmly: "Brother, as the Emperor of Heaven, sometimes being a little overbearing can better maintain your dignity than blindly tolerating him.
Today, the Great Emperor has overstepped the line. If he does not respond appropriately, more immortals and gods will inevitably turn to him."
"Humph!"
The expression in Lord Haotian's eyes became complicated at this moment.
He had to admit that although Yang Ling was outspoken, everything he said was correct.
Today, it was indeed because his sister violated the Heavenly Rules and was caught by someone. In order to maintain the "justice" of the Emperor of Heaven, he gave in again and again.
Looking back now, I'm afraid his performance today has completely put him at a disadvantage in the eyes of the immortals.
If he had directly and domineeringly protected his sister as Yang Ling said, although he would have been branded as "abending the law for personal gain", at least it would not have damaged his dignity as the Emperor of Heaven!
It’s not like now, he, the Emperor of Heaven, is completely suppressed by that Gou Chen!
Moreover, if he cannot give a strong response within a short period of time, his authority may face even more serious challenges.
Thinking of this, Lord Haotian took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart, and asked coldly: "What do you think?"
Yang Ling looked directly at Lord Haotian and said firmly, "Brother-in-law, you are the Supreme of the Three Realms, the true ruler of Heaven, the Emperor to whom all gods must submit!
Although the Great Emperor is powerful, he is just a member of your army.
You don't need to be afraid of him, but you should show the majesty of the Emperor of Heaven and let all the gods know that even one of the Four Heavenly Kings needs to follow the authority of the Emperor of Heaven!"
Lord Haotian fell silent, as if he was thinking about the feasibility.
When Yang Ling saw this look, he knew that his words must have hit the soft spot of this brother-in-law, and he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said: "This incident is an opportunity!
Didn’t the Emperor want to use Yunhua’s matter to control you, my brother-in-law? So just let him take full charge of this matter!
I will take Yunhua to Daluo Mountain to pay a visit to the teacher later, and then we will see if he dares to go to Daluo Mountain to arrest people!
If he can't catch the person, you can use his incompetence as an excuse to give him a hard time!"
Lord Haotian frowned slightly, "He will definitely not capture Yao Ji himself, he will only let his subordinates do it. I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with him, right?"
"That's why I said to give him a skin." Yang Ling said as a matter of course. "And then?"
Lord Haotian still frowned, "You can't let Yao Ji hide in Daluo Mountain forever, right? Besides, if this matter drags on, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Heavenly Court!"
Hearing this, Yang Ling said seriously: "This is what I want to discuss with you, my brother-in-law, when I come to heaven this time."
"Oh? Have you figured out a solution?"
"Not bad!"
"What's the solution?"
"Modify the Heavenly Laws!"
Lord Haotian's expression changed, his eyes shot towards Yang Ling like lightning, his voice filled with unbelievable anger:
"You are making a fuss! Just because Yao Ji violated the Heavenly Law, do I have to change the Heavenly Law? Wouldn't this make the whole world laugh at the lawlessness of Heaven?"
"Brother-in-law, you are wrong. It is not that Yunhua violated the Heavenly Law, but that the current Heavenly Law is too strict!"
Yang Ling calmly looked back at Lord Haotian and said solemnly: "The current Heavenly Rules are too restrictive for the Heavenly Immortals, and can even be said to be inhumane!
Once you join the Heavenly Court and become a god, it is equivalent to wearing shackles and giving up your freedom. This is also the main reason why the Heavenly Court cannot recruit more gods and immortals!
It would be better to be a god in heaven, which is both safe and can earn merits. Why are those gods unwilling to come?
The reason is that the heavenly rules are too strict!
If we can modify the overly strict parts and relax some of the restrictions on immortals and gods, I believe we will be able to attract more immortals and gods to join the Heavenly Court."
Upon hearing this, Lord Haotian couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Since the restoration of the Heavenly Court, he has tried many ways to recruit immortals and gods, but with little success.
Those free and easy Golden Immortals are fine, even those Mysterious Immortals and True Immortals would rather endure the three disasters and nine calamities than ascend to heaven and become gods!
Lord Haotian also investigated the reasons in this regard, and the answers he obtained were surprisingly consistent - the reason why these immortals and gods were unwilling to ascend to heaven to become gods was because they were used to being lax and could not abide by the rules of heaven!
Looking at Lord Haotian who was lost in thought, Yang Ling felt a little relieved. It seemed that the plan to persuade his brother-in-law was not impossible to accomplish.
What he just said was not random, but he and Yunhua had carefully studied the Heavenly Laws and regulations and found more than seventy unreasonable points in them.
Perhaps it is because the Heavenly Laws evolved from the Way of Heaven itself, and are fair but lack humanity.
The gods in heaven are not machines. They also have joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, and all kinds of emotional needs. How is it possible that all of them are like perfect "saints" who never make mistakes?
"Brother, think about this carefully..." Yang Ling said seriously, "The Heavenly Rules are the foundation of Heaven, but if the development of Heaven is restricted by the rules and regulations, what is the point?"
Lord Haotian shook his head. "Although what you said makes some sense, the Heavenly Law is generated by the Way of Heaven. How can I easily change it just because of a temporary need?"
Yang Ling smiled disapprovingly and said, "Although the Heavenly Law is generated by the Heavenly Dao itself, don't forget, brother-in-law, this Heavenly Court is ultimately ruled by you, not the Heavenly Law!"
Lord Haotian was silent. He knew that Yang Ling’s words made sense, but the change of the Heavenly Law involved the foundation of Heaven and even the Three Realms, and should not be taken lightly.
He needs to think carefully and not just act on momentary emotions or selfishness.
After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke slowly: "This matter is of great importance. I need to think it over carefully before making a decision."
Yang Ling nodded. He knew that this matter could not be resolved in just a few words.
Now that his words had moved Lord Haotian, he stopped talking about this topic and said, "Let's not talk about the Heavenly Law for now. Have you made up your mind about the Emperor of Heaven? Do you still want to embarrass him?"
"Yes! Of course!"
Lord Haotian said without hesitation: "Just do as you say, I will issue an order later and let him take full responsibility for this matter!
When the time comes, you will be responsible for severely humiliating him!"
"Then just wait and see, uncle!"
