The Antarctic Longevity Emperor nodded and said, "That's right. As long as we summon the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear, the truth will come out!"
As the head of the Supervision Department, he naturally had to speak out when it came to matters involving celestial officials violating heavenly rules.
When the Dragon Ancestor was alive, the Dragon Clan enjoyed a period of glory. After his death, the Dragon Clan came under the rule of the Heavenly Court. Although the Four River Dragon Gods had impressive titles, they were actually just low-ranking, low-level celestial officials, and naturally fell under the supervision of the Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace.
The Six Emperors of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, the Great Emperor of the Central Heaven Ziwei, the Great Emperor of the North Pole Gouchen, the Great Emperor of the South Pole Changsheng, and the Great Emperor of the East Pole Qinghua.
The Great Emperor of the Central Heaven, Ziwei, assists the Jade Emperor in managing the celestial order, the sun, moon, stars, and the four seasons; he is a god of literature.
Gouchen Shanggong Emperor assists the Jade Emperor in governing the North and South Poles and the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, commanding all the stars, and presiding over wars in the human world; he is a god of war.
The Antarctic Longevity Emperor is in charge of the Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace and oversees the Thunder Department. He is the supervisory and punishment department of the Three Realms.
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole, also known as the Great Savior from Suffering, is primarily in charge of the underworld.
Huangtian refers to the Jade Emperor of Heaven, and Houtu refers to the Emperor of Fengdu in the Underworld.
"The Emperor is absolutely right!"
"How can a conviction be made so easily without evidence?"
"We beseech the Great Celestial Venerable to investigate this matter and restore justice to the Three Realms!"
When an emperor-level figure speaks, it is naturally extraordinary, and celestial officials immediately step forward to respond.
"Brother Changsheng is absolutely right. Please invite Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears into the hall to investigate the truth!"
The Jade Emperor spoke, and the decision was final.
"Your humble servant, Thousand-Mile Eyes (Wind-Following Ears), pays respects to the Great Heavenly Venerable!"
Soon, the two low-ranking celestial officials entered the hall together, paid their respects to the Jade Emperor with great ceremony, and then stood up.
"With eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind, who was responsible for the exchange of rainwater between Qinghai and Jinling prefectures in the Song Kingdom of the human realm?"
Venus asked aloud.
Upon hearing this, all the celestial officials looked at the two people standing in the hall. Instantly, immense pressure came from all directions, falling on the two people, Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears.
Fortunately, the two of them were experienced and this was not the first time they had encountered such a situation.
However, when asked about the rain in the two counties, both Qianliyan and Shunfengyan looked embarrassed and remained silent for a long time.
"Hmm, what's going on?"
The Antarctic Emperor frowned, noticing his younger brother's lack of awareness.
“Your Majesty, the Emperor! It’s not that my brother and I didn’t want to tell you, but… but…”
The man with the clairvoyant expression hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"And what?"
Venus pressed for an answer.
“At the time of the incident, my brother and I could not see who did it, nor could we hear any sound. According to the natural order, it was a normal phenomenon, and there was nothing unusual!”
Thousand-Mile Eye gritted his teeth, told the truth, and then said, "This humble subject has failed in his duties. Please punish me, Great Heavenly Venerable and Great Emperor!"
The Heavenly Divine Power is no ordinary skill.
On that day, when Xiao Ning used his "Summoning Wind and Rain" supernatural power, the Heavenly Dao was obscured.
In the Middle Thousand or Great Thousand Worlds, there might be a chance to see through it, but in this Small Thousand World, no one can detect anything unusual.
Upon hearing the report from the all-seeing eye, the celestial officials looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Jade Emperor frowned but remained silent.
Venus visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Antarctic Longevity Emperor's expression remained unchanged, as if he was concentrating on sensing something.
The saying goes, "If it doesn't concern me, I'll stay out of it," and everyone else just watched with amusement.
After a long while, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor waved his hand and said, "Alright, you two can leave now!"
Just now, he activated his Great Emperor's position to connect with the Heavenly Dao, but as the two Thousand-Mile Eyes had said, he still couldn't get any feedback. Helpless, he had no choice but to give up.
"This humble servant takes his leave!"
Upon hearing this, the two minor celestial officials felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They bowed and withdrew.
The Eternal Emperor turned to the Jade Emperor and said, "Brother, there must be something fishy about this!"
The Jade Emperor nodded without saying anything more.
He looked down at Ao Run, the Dragon King of the East Sea, and said, "Let's leave this matter for now. Minister Ao, please return to the East Sea!"
Without solid evidence, no one can be convicted.
Even though he is the Jade Emperor, the supreme celestial being who governs all beings in the Three Realms, he still has to act according to the Heavenly Rules, not according to his own personal preferences.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor was very displeased that Ao Run had shifted the blame onto Xiao Ning, but he did not punish him.
Most importantly, compared to the trivial matter of the Four River Dragon Gods shirking their responsibilities, the appearance of an uncontrollable force was what truly concerned the Jade Emperor.
