Everyone listened to the Carefree Great Emperor's words with puzzled expressions, unable to understand why he was saying such things at this moment.
Taishang Laojun and the others did not quite understand either.
"The Nine Li Clan and the Spirit Demon Clan are both my people. Now that the Deva Path has chosen me as the Jade Emperor and I have come to the Heavenly Court to become its ruler, naturally I must bring my people with me as well. Therefore, I hope to include the Nine Li Clan and the Spirit Demon Clan among the gods of the Heavenly Court, making them part of the Heavenly Court." The Carefree Great Emperor looked at everyone below with a smile.
As soon as he said this, an uproar broke out below, and everyone began discussing it heatedly.
Everyone present was filled with shock and disbelief, including Taishang Laojun and the others.
They truly had not expected the Carefree Great Emperor to make such a decision—to bring the Nine Li Clan and the Spirit Demon Clan into the Heavenly Court.
Those were demon clans! Such a move was utterly shocking!
Once their shock subsided, they all opposed it.
However, the assembled gods did not state their positions. They did not dare speak rashly, because they did not want to offend the Carefree Great Emperor.
Even if there was opposition, Taishang Laojun and the others would be the ones to voice it. With them there, why should anyone else stick their neck out?
Sure enough, Yuanshi Tianzun was the first to step forward. "Your Majesty, this is the High Heaven Hall. Some jokes should not be made here."
"I am not joking. Everything I said is true. I know the people of the Nine Li Clan and the Spirit Demon Clan very well.
