405 “Fellow Daoist, please wait.”
In Nuwa Palace…
“Hmm? My temple was actually struck by lightning?”
These words almost caused Fairy Caiyun, who was serving Nuwa, to fall to the ground.
Goddess Nuwa did not say anything else. She calculated with her fingers and found that the great tribulation had arrived. The secrets of heaven were in chaos, and she could not find out the cause at all.
At this moment, Nuwa suddenly laughed and said, “Interesting, interesting. You’re actually plotting against me. Do you want me to find trouble with Emperor Xin?”
After thinking for a while, Nuwa’s eyes remained calm, and no change could be seen on her face.
She ate another grape in a composed manner, and then her eyes suddenly opened.
The next moment, the unique and vast power of a Saint burst out and swept across the entire great wilderness.
“Who dares to disturb my cultivation— Uh? Your Ladyship!? It’s fine now.”
“Are you done yet? Not long ago, there was a Saint’s might, and now it’s here again.”
“What’s going on? Are all Saints so free?”
…
One by one, the cultivators who were in seclusion in their cave abodes were jolted awake.
When they discovered that it was Nuwa, they didn’t dare to express any more opinions.
In the imperial palace…
You and Emperor Xin sat opposite each other in the imperial study.
Emperor Xin said worriedly, “Big Brother, it’s almost time to offer incense to Nuwa Palace. Do you have any ideas? That’s a true Saint, I really can’t afford to offend them.”
Emperor Xin was helpless. He did not even dare to think about blaspheming a Saint in this world.
And this matter was about to happen.
“No hurry, no hurry. When the time comes, I’ll be by your side to protect you. I’ll definitely be able to make sure you’re safe,” you said with confidence.
Just the Devil Buddha Sutra alone had already allowed you to figure out the essence. You had already disguised it as a proper Buddhist path and integrated it into the western religion.
When you heard Emperor Xin’s words, you couldn’t help but smile. It’s obvious that Emperor Xin was not confident in your strength and wanted to bring Kong Xuan along with him in case of any mishaps.
You thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so you were about to speak.
However, at that moment, the cabinet’s Assistant Minister, Shang Rong, hurriedly ran in.
As soon as he entered the door, he immediately kowtowed and said hurriedly, “Your Majesty! The Nuwa Temple was struck by lightning and caught on fire. The entire statue of the goddess was destroyed!”
Zhao Hao and Di Xin’s expressions changed at the same time.
Both of them knew about the butterfly effect.
They were also thinking about what could have caused the dissatisfaction of the human race’s Holy Mother, Nuwa, with the powerful Great Shang and the continuous strengthening of the human tribe. Now, they knew.
Suddenly, a vast Saint might swept across the world.
The capital’s golden dragon of fate flew out to block the attack, but it was pressed back down.
Zhao Hao and Di Xin couldn’t help but shiver.
Nuwa’s voice reverberated throughout the mortal world.
“Order the Human Emperor, Di Xin, to rebuild the Nuwa Temple in seven days and arrest the culprit of the lightning strike in 15 days and bring them to the palace.”
It was a simple sentence without any criticism.
But the meaning was also very obvious.
The Nuwa Temple next to the capital was destroyed, and as the Human Emperor, Di Xin couldn’t shirk his responsibility.
As soon as she finished speaking, the mighty holy aura disappeared instantly.
Everyone felt as if they were in a dream, not daring to speak.
Anyone who dared to build a temple for the Saints was definitely not a mortal.
What Nuwa meant was for Di Xin to send someone to capture the culprit.
Everyone turned their eyes to the capital. They wanted to see what this outstanding Human Emperor would do.
In the main hall of the imperial palace…
You and Emperor Xin looked at each other, and both of you felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The power of a Saint was terrifying.
Di Xin immediately snarled, “What are you looking at? Didn’t you hear what Mother Nuwa said? Hurry up and get people to build a new one.”
Shang Rong was stunned and quickly bowed. “Your Majesty is wise. When the statue of Goddess Nuwa is erected again, I would like to invite Your Majesty to come to the Nuwa Temple and offer incense to pray for blessings. I hope that the statue will return to its original position. This way, Goddess Nuwa will not blame you.”
Upon hearing this, Di Xin raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, “I’m going to personally go and burn incense? I still have to support the goddess’ statue?”
Shang Rong was stunned when he heard this. Seeing that Di Xin really did not know, he said directly, “Your Majesty, according to the founding system of the Tang dynasty, this should be the case.”
A meaningful smile appeared on Emperor Xin’s face as he said helplessly, “The ancestral system of the soup. It seems that these old fogeys who have lived for countless periods of time have been planning this since the soup was formed.”
Shang Rong was dumbfounded as he listened, but you, on the other hand, understood how Emperor Xin felt.
How could it be so easy to avoid a Saint’s scheme?
In this era, it was a great sin to go against the rules of the ancestors. Moreover, he was facing Nuwa, so he did not dare to disobey.
Shang Rong took people to repair the Nuwa Temple.
The first matter that Nuwa had spoken of had been dealt with.
The most troublesome thing was the second matter.
“Big Brother, who is this person who dares to strike the Nuwa Temple with lightning? There is no such scene in the original plot.”
The search for the culprit was a real challenge for Emperor Xin. Although he was extremely intelligent, he had no power.
“I can only ask for your help in this matter.”
You were full of confidence and smiled. “That’s not difficult. We just need to think about who our enemy is and then check them one by one. We’ll get the answer soon.”
Hearing this, Di Xin furrowed his brow and remained silent for a long time before he said, “Big Brother, do you mean that if it’s not from the West, then it’s the one from the Hollow Jade Temple?”
You slowly nodded and said, “I feel that although the person from the Hollow Jade Temple is a little sinister, he wouldn’t do such a thing. I’ll go to the West now and investigate it in detail.”
Di Xin was overjoyed to hear that you had taken the initiative to stop this matter.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Big Brother.”
You waved your hand courteously, then flew out of the capital and headed west.
After flying for tens of thousands of miles, you suddenly found an extremely handsome White Deer flying quickly in the sky.
The more you looked at the White Deer, the happier you were. You immediately flew up and landed on the White Deer’s body.
“Haha, such a handsome mount should belong to me.”
Just as you were feeling smug, a grand voice rang out from behind you.
“Fellow Daoist, please wait.”
