Some say they must be Sun Wukong's accomplices, trying to rescue him.
Some people say that this is just ordinary people looking at the scenery, a normal phenomenon that has happened before and is not surprising.
Venus stepped forward and reported to the Jade Emperor, saying that if everyone looked at the scene, they would know what had happened!
Upon hearing this, all the celestial officials nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, the Jade Emperor readily agreed, took out the Haotian Mirror, and infused it with magical power. The Haotian Mirror floated up, reflecting a huge light screen that appeared in the center of the Lingxiao Palace for all the celestial officials to view.
The Haotian Mirror is the Jade Emperor's most precious treasure, capable of monitoring every corner of the Three Realms with perfect clarity.
When everyone looked over and saw Wang Mang appear and demand compensation from Sun Wukong, all the celestial officials stroked their beards and mocked the mortal emperor for his wild idea of extorting money from Sun Wukong, saying he was truly courting death.
As for how Wang Mang knew about Sun Wukong, they simply ignored it. After all, Xiao Ning's system was no joke; they might find it a bit novel, but they wouldn't investigate further.
The celestial officials also witnessed the verbal exchange between the two. From their perspective, they naturally agreed with Sun Wukong's statement: the aftermath of the battle was simply a consequence of being a mortal.
If you're weak, you're unlucky; if I'm strong, I'm right.
Then, the screen suddenly drops to the bottom.
When the two could not reach an agreement, the mortal emperor not only did not retreat, but instead acted like a rogue, ordering his soldiers to urinate on Sun Wukong's face.
At first, everyone thought he was just trying to scare Sun Wukong to force him to submit, but who knew! Who knew!
The mortal emperor ignored the monkey's pleas for mercy and still resolutely ordered his men to urinate all over Sun Wukong's face.
For a moment, all the celestial officials were shocked and spat out their saliva.
"Great Heavenly Venerable, this person has seriously challenged the bottom line of our Heavenly Court and wantonly insulted the dignity of immortals. I suggest that he be severely punished!"
Venus jumped out and hurriedly offered his advice to the Jade Emperor.
He had the best relationship with Sun Wukong, and seeing Sun Wukong in distress and humiliation, he must have felt terrible, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.
"Old Bai is right. Immortals are immortals, and humans are humans. If this door is opened, the dignity of the immortals in our Heavenly Realm will be completely lost, and how will we be able to rule the Three Realms?"
"I agree with Venus!"
"I agree!"
After Venus spoke, a large number of celestial officials, feeling the same way, immediately voiced their support.
"I disagree. That monkey has been dismissed from his post as the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses and is no longer a celestial official of our Heavenly Court. Moreover, he has caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and is now considered a demon. Why should we stand up for him?"
“Indeed, what that mortal emperor said makes sense. He was affected by the aftermath of the battle with Wenzi and suffered heavy losses. It is only natural for him to ask Sun Wukong for compensation. What reason do we have to interfere?”
“Yes, that mortal emperor has never cultivated and has not violated the Heavenly Laws. If our Heavenly Court were to take action, wouldn’t that be considered personal revenge? Such unfairness would destroy the dignity and reputation of our Heavenly Court!”
For every person who agrees, there is someone who disagrees, and their reasons for disagreeing are also quite valid.
In an instant, countless celestial officials split into several factions, arguing incessantly. The entire ethereal Lingxiao Palace turned into a chaotic mortal market.
Of course, many people also remained silent and did not express their opinions.
"quiet!"
The Jade Emperor frowned and said something indifferently, which instantly silenced the scene.
"This matter has nothing to do with my Heavenly Court, and we need not interfere. You need not say anything more!"
He paused, then said, "However, that mortal emperor's actions were far too presumptuous. Let him be punished with a three-year drought, during which not a drop of rain will fall!"
The Jade Emperor made a swift and decisive decision, which neither damaged the dignity of the Heavenly Court nor damaged Wang Mang, thus serving as a warning to others.
…………
The human realm.
After urinating, Qiao Yong, the commander of the Imperial Guards, put on his pants and stood to the side.
Upon smelling the strong odor, Wang Mang and Xiao Ning both secretly took a few steps back and moved aside.
The scene was silent, with dark clouds looming overhead, like the prelude to a volcanic eruption.
After an unknown amount of time, a demonic roar, seemingly emanating from hell, reached the ears of everyone present.
"Mortal emperor, I, Old Sun, will tear you apart, grind your bones to dust, and roast your soul in the Samadhi Fire for ten thousand years!"
The monkey's somber tone revealed the intense hatred in his heart, which was almost tangible, filling his chest as if it were about to explode.
Its eyes turned bloodshot, almost dripping with blood, and it stared intently at Wang Mang, a sight that was enough to chill one to the bone.
"laugh!"
Wang Mang was not afraid at all, and sneered, "Let's talk after you get out of the Five Elements Mountain. I've heard that you're going to be imprisoned for five hundred years. By then, I will have long since turned to dust and be dead beyond any doubt! Do you think I would be afraid of your threats?"
"Ha, I'll give you a salute and call you Sun Wukong! Now that you don't listen to me, what the hell do you think you are? Just a monkey who doesn't know his own mortality!"
"This land belongs to me, and I have the right to govern every part of it! No one has the right to interfere!"
"I have changed my mind. I will not set up this place as a military camp. That would be too easy for you!"
"I have decided that upon returning, I will issue a decree calling upon all 300 million subjects of the land to reward one tael of silver for urinating on you and five taels of silver for defecating on you! There is no time limit, until my great new kingdom ceases to exist!"
"Not only that, I will gather all the learned scholars in the country and pool our collective strength to write a book and a biography for you, so that your name will be remembered for ten thousand generations, and your infamy for ten thousand years!"
"I've even come up with a name for the biography: The Legend of the Monkey King. What do you think?"
