Who Stole My Eggs?

Above the Six Realms, the Realm of Taixu.

This was where the divine consciousness of Tiandi resided, and it was also the final destination of countless powerful elders who transcended life and death and achieved complete enlightenment.

In the past, the holy light shone there, the air was fragrant, and the gentle singing of the fairies always floated in the mist. At this moment, the place was covered with clouds, the wind howling, and red thunder and lightning flashing everywhere, just like the sea before a storm.

Huo Yao was wearing golden armor and holding a spear made from the power of thunder and lightning, standing silently in the surging wind and clouds. The overflowing divine power turned into tangible lightning and traveled around Huo Yao’s body, making him even more imposing.

“Thunder Deity Huo Yao, why don’t you kneel down?” The voice of Tinadi came from all directions. Although it was not loud, it was extremely majestic and made one feel overwhelmed.

Huo Yao slowly knelt down on one knee.

The clouds suddenly dissipated, the strong wind disappeared, and Tiandi’s tone softened a lot. “Do you know you are wrong, Great Thunder Deity?”

Huo Yao lowered his eyes. “I don’t know.”

“As a high deity in the Immortal Realm, you lived in peace with the Demon King Xie Zuo. Because of you, he escaped from the abyss and entered the world, disrupting the fate of the southern kingdom. This was a mistake.”

“The plague ravaged the southern kingdom. You knew the way to save it, but you were obsessed with your relationship and put the lives of countless people at risk. This was the second mistake.”

“The demon king stole the throne of the southern emperor, ascended in his demon body, disrupted the divine world, and turned everything upside down. However, you disobeyed my decree and only imprisoned him but did not kill him. This was the third mistake.”

After Tiandi finished speaking, he quietly waited for Huo Yao’s confession. Unexpectedly, Huo Yao slowly stood up.

“I dare to ask Tiandi, what wrong did Huo Yao commit? What wrong did my beloved Xie Zuo commit?”

Tiandi: “…”

“Wasn’t it you who disrupted the fate of the Southern Kingdom? You used the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Southern Kingdom as the selection of the Southern Kingdom’s emperor. During the trial, did you consider the lives of those mortals?”

“Xie Zuo and I truly love each other. Why should we be punished for that?”

“For the sake of the people of the world, Xie Zuo was willing to throw himself into the cauldron to turn into good medicine and save the people from the plague. His merits soared. In addition, he had unified the Southern Kingdom before his death. He was the rightful emperor of the Southern Kingdom. How could he have stolen it? What do you mean by that?”

“Anyone or anything in the six realms who has great merit can ascend to become a deity, regardless of their origin. Isn’t this what you taught me? Why does the demon king’s ascension turn the world upside down and he must be punished?”

Huo Yao put away his spear and said with his hands clasped, “I must respectfully disagree.”

Tiandi remained silent for a long time.

All the clouds dissipated, and the Realm of Taixu returned to its former peaceful and sacred appearance. The voices of Tiandi were as light as clouds, misty and distant. “Thunder Deity Huo Yao, you no longer believe in me.”

Huo Yao remained silent.

After a long time, Tiandi, weary, said, “Go.”

.

In the abyss, Xie Zuo was angry at the thunder and lightning that imprisoned him.

In two days, Xiao Lin would leave the Southern Kingdom to take up his new post, and Xie Zuo wanted to see him off. However, as soon as he left the abyss, the thunder and lightning would follow him like a shadow, preventing him from leaving the Lotus Platfrom of the Southern Emperor even for half a step. It was truly frustrating!

Xie Zuo was suspicious that these thunder and lightning were caused by Huo Yao. Anyway, if Tiandi were against him, Huo Yao would always act on his behalf.

It had been a while since Xie Zuo came back, and he hadn’t even seen Huo Yao’s shadow. He wondered to himself: Could Huo Yao have been imprisoned by Tiandi?

After all, Xie Zuo was like a prisoner, and Huo Yao was the chief warden watching over him. Not only did Huo Yao not capture him, but he protected him all the way and made him the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom. Now that he had obtained the title of Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, he feared that the ancient being that controlled heaven and earth would be furious.
