"Come, come, eat your vegetables. It's not right to drink without eating."
Zhang Yifan was pleased that Taibai Jinxing was so understanding.
"Here, try this fish. It's my specialty."
"Yes, Father."
The Jade Emperor picked up his chopsticks to grab a piece of fish, but before he could even touch it, he was stunned.
This wasn't fish at all, it was True Dragon meat! And it was from a True Dragon with the purest bloodline.
True Dragons had long since vanished from the Primordial Era World, rarely seen. Yet today, it had become a dish!
This father was truly astonishing!
"How does it taste?"
The Jade Emperor suppressed his shock, picked up a piece of fish, and took a bite.
As soon as the fish entered his mouth, it transformed into the purest energy that surged into his body, actually containing fragments of Great Dao Laws.
"Delicious, so delicious!"
The Jade Emperor couldn't help but exclaim. Setting aside the fragments of Great Dao Laws, the way this fish was cooked was truly superb, incredibly delicious.
"If it's delicious, eat more."
Zhang Yifan said proudly. The dog system itself said his cooking level surpassed divine, reaching Grand Perfection. How could it not be delicious?
"Then I won't be polite, Son."
The Jade Emperor immediately transformed, like a starving ghost, shoveling food into his mouth. When he couldn't fit any more, he stuffed it in with all his might.
Seeing the Jade Emperor like this, Taibai Jinxing was stunned. Was it really that serious?
Eating a meal like he was fighting a pig for food?
Thinking of the wine from earlier, Taibai Jinxing was startled and came to his senses.
Could this dish be the same?
Taibai Jinxing took a bite, and indeed it was!
Could he still resist this?
Eat, grab!
Taibai Jinxing completely disregarded the Jade Emperor beside him and frantically grabbed dishes, snatching food.
In just a short while, the entire table of dishes was wiped clean by the Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing, as if a storm had passed through.
"Damn it, my chopsticks haven't even moved, were you guys that hungry?"
Zhang Yifan was shocked. Was it that serious?
Had they not eaten for days? Why were they fighting over food like pigs in the backyard?
"Apologies, Father, I was a bit hungry."
The Jade Emperor wiped his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed.
When had he ever lost his composure like this? But he couldn't help it; it was truly too delicious! And who would refuse fragments of Great Dao Laws?
"Alright, I'll make a few more dishes."
Zhang Yifan was speechless and could only go make a few more dishes.
This time, under Zhang Yifan's restraint, the Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing were much more well-behaved and didn't snatch food.
"Where were you two returning from today?" Zhang Yifan asked the two of them.
"We came from Fengxian County," the Jade Emperor replied.
"Fengxian County?" Zhang Yifan raised an eyebrow. "Don't go to Fengxian County anymore. It's about to become a living hell on earth. Be careful you don't get stuck there."
"Living hell? Why?" the Jade Emperor asked curiously.
"Hmph, why? It's all because that idiot Jade Emperor. Not only did he create mountains of noodles and rice, making dogs eat the noodles and chickens peck the rice. He also created a bronze lock, making the candle burn through it before it would rain. Tell me, how could Fengxian County not become a living hell?"
Idiot?
The Jade Emperor's mouth twitched. Why was he being called an idiot?
Taibai Jinxing lowered his head very low.
He pretended not to hear anything.
Who else in the Primordial Era World would dare call the Jade Emperor an idiot?
He didn't want his head to roll.
The Jade Emperor frowned. These mountains of noodles and rice, and the bronze lock hadn't even been put in place yet, but his father already knew about it?
"Aren't the citizens of the Three Realms all subjects of the Jade Emperor? Why would the Jade Emperor do such a thing?" the Jade Emperor asked, feigning ignorance.
"Because he's an idiot, hahahaha. If a county lord knelt and begged the Jade Emperor to stay at his table, would he flip it over? Even if he wanted to, would he have the ability to flip it?"
Zhang Yifan laughed and cursed the Jade Emperor as an idiot.
Ah, this.
The Jade Emperor suddenly woke up.
Right, he was the county governor of Fengxian County, and he had sincerely knelt and begged this venerable one to descend and settle down. It couldn't be such a coincidence that he would argue with his wife.
Moreover, in front of a cultivator at the mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm, how could he, a mere mortal, flip a table?
Alas, just as his father said, he was truly an idiot.
"Father, then tell me, who is pulling the strings behind the scenes?" the Jade Emperor asked, pretending.
"Who else but those bald donkeys," Zhang Yifan chuckled.
"That idiot Jade Emperor, in order to pander to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and for the sake of the so-called Primordial Era tribulation, simultaneously suppressed the Human Teachings and Daoist Teachings forces in the Heavenly Court, as well as the Jie Teachings forces, to gain complete control of the Heavenly Court. He cooperated with the Western Teachings to stage the grand play of Journey to the West."
"But who knew that the Jade Emperor, in his cleverness, would be outsmarted. He thought he was the one playing chess, but he was merely a pawn. Alas, in the end, he ruined the entire Primordial Era World and became an eternal sinner of the Primordial Era."
"Ah? Why?" The Jade Emperor was greatly alarmed.
The Journey to the West tribulation was indeed set by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who promised the great prosperity of the Western Teachings. It was the number of the Heavenly Dao.
The Jade Emperor also wanted to use this Journey to the West matter to eliminate his rivals in the Heavenly Court and reshuffle the mortal world, so that he could completely control the Heavenly Court forces and become the true Heavenly Emperor, instead of being sidelined by Taishang Laojun of the Human Teachings and the numerous forces of the Jie Teachings who were conferred godhood.
But how did this become ruining the Primordial Era World and becoming an eternal sinner of the Primordial Era?
"Why what?"
"Why did it ruin the Primordial Era World? Why did he become an eternal sinner? He didn't do anything, did he?"
"Journey to the West, while it sounds good that it was set by the Heavenly Dao, was ultimately set by Hongjun. It was also his final grand tribulation calculated for the Primordial Era World. After the tribulation ends, Hongjun will order the Three Realms to sever heaven and earth, separating mortals and immortals forever. The incense offerings in the mortal world are fixed, and mortals will forever remain mortals, while immortals will also forever remain stagnant. Only Hongjun will remain high above."
"And the Primordial Era World will completely lose the opportunity to advance its world status! It will completely lose the opportunity to advance into a high-level supreme Primordial Era World! It will degenerate into a weak world among countless worlds, vulnerable to anyone's will! And the culprit behind all this is none other than the Jade Emperor."
Boom!
The Jade Emperor was struck by lightning and froze on the spot.
"The tribulation was actually Dao Ancestor Hongjun's scheme? Not a predetermined fate set by the Heavenly Dao?"
"Advancing status? What is this? High-level supreme Primordial Era World? What is that?"
A huge wave surged in the Jade Emperor's heart. He had heard such secret and important information here!
The Primordial Era World could actually advance?
"What is the advanced high-level supreme Primordial Era World like?" the Jade Emperor couldn't help but ask.
"In the high-level supreme Primordial Era World, the Heavenly Emperor is the Lord of the Great Dao, with 108 Great Dao Saints obeying his command, sweeping across all heavens and myriad worlds, dominating all realms, and no one dares to disobey!"
The Heavenly Emperor is the Lord of the Great Dao!
The Jade Emperor trembled all over. This, this was too astonishing!
To actually be the Lord of the Great Dao!
And he had 108 Great Dao Saints obeying his command!
Sweeping across all heavens and myriad worlds!
Dominating all realms, with no one daring to disobey!
This was what a Heavenly Emperor should be!
This was what the Haotian Shangdi, who was supreme under heaven and earth, should be!
"How can it advance?" the Jade Emperor blurted out excitedly!
He wanted to know so badly!
He couldn't wait to have the Primordial Era World advance its status immediately!
He wished he could immediately become the Heavenly Emperor who made all heavens and myriad worlds bow down and submit to his feet.
