"Oh," Mo Qi remembered the important matter and said, "I want to go to Heaven. Can you show me the way?"
"Why do you want to go to Heaven?" Long Ji asked, sounding very strange.
"I want to tell them not to mess with my Investiture of the Gods platform. My Investiture of the Gods platform was built to defend against demons and heretics, not for myself. Why does it bother them? They've sent down heavenly lightning time and again to destroy it?" Mo Qi said indignantly.
Long Ji slowly walked into the hall, sat on a chair, and pondered with a frown, "I heard before that you snatched the Investiture of the Gods list. I thought you were just playing a prank, but I didn't expect your ideas to be so bold."
Mo Qi also sat on the chair opposite her, "Think about it. Those people in Dongsheng Continent, for the sake of a dispute between two dynasties, all their sacrifices could be listed and deified. But here, many people risk their lives for the common people and cannot be deified. How unfair is that to them?"
Long Ji glanced at him sideways, "Only you are righteous, and everyone else is heartless."
Mo Qi chuckled, "It's not that they're heartless, they're just habitually turning a blind eye." Da Feng Novel Network
Long Ji sighed, "Actually, Heaven is also helpless. The matters of deification are entirely controlled by the Three Religions. Heaven can only look at the faces of the Three Religions. I guess these heavenly lightning bolts were probably sent down with the instruction of the leaders of the Three Religions."
"Whether it is or not, I will know when I see the Heavenly Emperor," Mo Qi said.
"But you are not a celestial being, and you are not allowed to ascend to Heaven," Long Ji said, looking into his eyes.
Mo Qi's pupils contracted slightly, "It's up to you. If you don't show me the way, I'll fight my way up myself."
"You... you're threatening me," Long Ji said playfully, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Seeing that she seemed angry, Mo Qi immediately chased after her, "If you don't show me the way, I'll have to go myself. Whether you're angry or try to use your beauty on me, I won't compromise on this matter."
Long Ji looked back at him, "Didn't you ask me to show you the way? Then hurry up and follow me. Use your beauty? You're trying to use your good looks on me too. You're always attracting attention and acting coy. Don't you know how annoying you are?"
Mo Qi's face turned red, "When did I ever act coy?"
There were many entrances to Heaven, but Long Ji still chose the entrance of the Heavenly Stairway.
After passing through the barrier of the Heavenly Stairway entrance, they soon arrived at the South Heavenly Gate.
The celestial guards guarding the South Heavenly Gate saw Long Ji and immediately blocked their path.
These two men were clad in armor, fully armed, their eyes gleaming with a sharpness that seemed capable of piercing through a person's body.
The gate general asked, "Isn't this Princess Long Ji? Why are you here in Heaven instead of being punished in the lower realm?"
Mo Qi looked at Princess Long Ji and smiled, "Your Highness of Heaven has no authority at all. Are you a fake princess?"
Long Ji did not commit to an answer and looked at the gate general, "I am bringing him to see my father. This concerns the safety of the Three Realms. I hope you two will facilitate this."
Gate General One glanced at Mo Qi with a slanted eye, "This guy? Concerns the safety of the Three Realms? Are you saying he can disrupt the Three Realms? Or are you saying that when the Three Realms are in trouble, he can save them?"
Long Ji felt a little uncertain, "The latter, perhaps."
Gate General Two said, "We encounter a few like this every day. They all claim they can save the Three Realms, but they end up being beaten to death by us. They can't even beat us, let alone save the Three Realms. They can't even save the South Heavenly Gate."
"Oh," Mo Qi swept his gaze over the two of them, "Does that mean I have to defeat you two first before I can save the Three Realms?"
Long Ji glared at him, "Don't mess around!"
Gate General One laughed, a laugh of unrestrained freedom, "You're simply talking nonsense and boasting."
Gate General Two said, "I can't even be bothered to make a move. You do it."
Gate General One, however, looked at Princess Long Ji, "Princess, I'll warn you one last time. Go back the way you came, and we brothers won't hold you accountable for your rudeness."
Long Ji also became somewhat angry, "I'm rude? Am I rude? It's you who have been speaking disrespectfully all along!"
"Damn it, you made my princess angry. You deserve to die." Mo Qi swung his sleeves left and right. The two men felt as if their bodies were in the center of a raging storm, unable to stand steady. With two swooshes, they fell from the clouds.
Long Ji watched the two black dots disappear from her sight and then glanced back at Mo Qi, "Not everything can be solved with force."
Mo Qi shrugged, "At least the current problem has been solved with force."
Long Ji sighed, "Let's go in."
Upon entering the South Heavenly Gate, it was still shrouded in swirling mist, with nothing visible.
If Mo Qi had come alone, he probably wouldn't have known which direction to go.
But Long Ji was very familiar with the way and led Mo Qi flying on the clouds.
After flying for 108,000 li, they finally reached the Lingxiao Hall.
Inside the Lingxiao Hall stood various great deities, with the Heavenly Emperor seated above.
These great deities stood high and saw far. Naturally, they knew all of Mo Qi's experiences. While they were amazed, they were mostly disdainful.
Introduced by Long Ji, Mo Qi explained his intentions, "Currently, the demons are secretly gathering strength, preparing to overthrow the world. Our Lingdu Sect voluntarily takes on the banner of protecting the common people of the world. We do not wish for our own people to stab us in the back. We hope Heaven can clear our hindrances so that we can wholeheartedly fight against external enemies and restore peace and order to the Three Realms."
The Heavenly Emperor was speechless and looked at Long Ji, "Who let you bring him up here?"
Long Ji felt wronged and looked at Mo Qi with a resentful gaze.
Mo Qi said, "It has nothing to do with her. She is merely fulfilling her duty as a Dao companion. I asked her to do this."
Dao companion?
Everyone around exploded. Yue Lao jumped out furiously, "Shameless scoundrel! Who agreed to you being Dao companions? You are utterly shameless."
Long Ji was both ashamed and angry, "What are you saying? Don't stir up more trouble, alright?"
The Heavenly Emperor also stood up in anger, "Seize him!"
As a result, it became awkward!
Everyone looked at each other, no one daring to step forward.
Mo Qi crossed his arms, "Can we talk properly now?"
The Heavenly Emperor reluctantly sat back down, cleared his throat, and said, "Who agreed to you building the Investiture of the Gods platform? Those deified through the Investiture of the Gods list will be my subordinates in the future. I should be the one to select them. Why should you be in charge?"
"Uh, then the Investiture of the Gods battle on the Dongsheng Continent, was that also your decision?" Mo Qi retorted.
The Heavenly Emperor broke out in a sweat. After a moment, he said righteously, "Ridiculous. Who are you to be compared with the Three Sages?"
"That's where you're wrong. I'm your son-in-law. You can't look down on me. Looking down on me is looking down on yourself. Why would you boost others' morale while crushing your own?" Mo Qi said seriously.
Long Ji wanted to be angry, but she couldn't help but have a smile bloom on her face, "If you talk nonsense again, I'm leaving!"
The Heavenly Emperor was actually considering the feasibility!
"No, she is a celestial being and cannot get married!" the Heavenly Emperor said, shaking his head.
The Queen Mother nudged him from the side, "Are you going in the wrong direction?"
The Heavenly Emperor coughed dryly, "I mean, you have no right to make decisions about deification. The Sanqing Sect has a long history, tracing back to the Primordial World. At that time, the Three Realms were in chaos. It was the Saints who led their disciples to suppress demons and eliminate bandits, bringing peace to the human world, and then established Heaven to protect the four directions. You say, when Heaven deifies, shouldn't it listen to the leaders of the Sanqing Sect? Who else should it listen to?"
"Listen to Ancestor Hongjun!" Mo Qi said.
