The Jade Emperor sighed and said, "Since Taibai Venus insists on this, I agree. Your registry as an orthodox god of the Heavenly Court will be stripped away at once, along with your magical power. Go to the Northern Jambu Continent and become a minor Earth god."
After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.
The other immortals were greatly shocked when they heard this. Becoming an Earth god in the Northern Jambu Continent was extremely dangerous. The Northern Jambu Continent was Carefree Great Emperor's territory.
Yet Taibai Venus showed no concern whatsoever. Since he had chosen to start over, he should have no complaints. Since the Northern Jambu Continent was the domain of demons, all the better—it would allow him to do what he wished, helping the common people and helping the demons.
Li Jing brought Taibai Venus to the South Heaven Gate. They were friends, after all, so he had to see him off.
"You are descending to the mortal realm to become an Earth god this time. His Majesty has also issued a decree: from now on, you are to remain below forever, and the gods of the Heavenly Court are to cut off all contact with you. From now on, you truly will have to rely only on yourself," Li Jing said.
"Rest assured, Heavenly King. I will certainly accomplish something," Taibai Venus said with a smile, without the slightest trace of worry or fear.
"Also, no one in the Heavenly Court supports you now, but don't casually join the Buddhist Sect," Li Jing added.
Taibai Venus smiled. "Heavenly King, you jest. I was born a man of the Daoist Sect, and I will die a ghost of the Daoist Sect. I will never easily join the Buddhist Sect."
Li Jing nodded.
