Who Stole My Eggs?

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, and Xie Zuo was shouted to the sky by the deities of the southern kingdom early in the morning. First, he accepted their congratulations, then he was forced to give them blessings, and then he was pushed to change clothes.

The pure gold divine crown of the Southern Emperor was very heavy, and the divine robe was also complicated and gorgeous, layer after layer. With so many layers put on, it was almost impossible to see how big Xie Zuo’s belly was.

Xie Zuo was like a puppet, letting them play with him. If Huo Yao hadn’t been by his side, he would really have eaten people.

After finally getting dressed up, Xie Zuo stepped on the hem of his skirt as soon as he stood up and was held by Huo Yao.

Mu Rong hurriedly said: “Don’t be angry, just endure it through the night.”

Xie Zuo calmed down his breathing, glanced at the deities around him who were looking at him eagerly, and clenched his hands: “I’ll endure it!”

After going out, Xie Zuo raised his hand and wiped it on his face, and a veil hung from the crown, covering most of his face.

Mu Rong asked curiously: “Brother, why do you have to cover it up?”

Xie Zuo snorted: “I’m too fat. I don’t want to be seen, okay?”

“Oh.”

Xie Zuo turned around and glanced at the deities following him: ‘Stupid deities, if others recognized that your new emperor is a demon king, just wait to be destroyed by the others!’

Huo Yao shook Xie Zuo’s hand: “See you at the Taixu Temple.”

“Okay.”

.

The Taixu Temple was located between the Immortal Realm and the Taixu Realm. It was only open on the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was the place where the spirits transformed from heaven and earth, Tiandi, met the deities every year.

Xie Zuo led the deities of the Southern Kingdom to step on the auspicious clouds and fly to the Taixu Temple in a mighty manner.

The temple was so big that they couldn’t see the edge at a glance, and it was very lively with all the deities gathered.

As soon as Xie Zuo stepped into the temple, he became the focus of the deities, and everyone turned their attention to him.

The story that the deities of the Southern Kingdom caused great chaos in the human world in order to compete for the position of Southern Emperor had long spread throughout the divine world.

Mu Rong, Lin, The Black Cloud Messenger and The Wind Messenger, the four most promising divine envoys, two were impersonated and two died unexpectedly and fell into the human world. Instead, a person of unknown origin was granted the title of emperor. If the former emperor Yun Jue still had any remaining consciousness, he might be angry and come back to life.

The deities of the Southern Kingdom were a group of weirdos in the Immortal Realm. They were very conflicted internally, but they were surprisingly united externally. It was heard that their new emperor was even more bizarre. After ascending to the throne, he never showed up. If they hadn’t collectively petitioned, he wouldn’t even show up on such a big day as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When they saw him today, they found that this new emperor was really different. On such a grand occasion, he actually covered his face with gauze and did not show his true appearance. Could it be that he was born particularly ugly?

Xie Zuo looked around calmly, walked to his throne, and sat down without saying a word.

Tiandi was very good at highlighting his own status. His position was the highest and largest in the entire temple, surrounded by clouds and mist, creating the most exaggerated atmosphere.

The closest ones to him were the positions of the four emperors in charge of the east, west, north, and south, arranged on both sides, two on each side.

Feng Yi was sitting opposite Xie Zuo. When he saw him, he winked at him, pointed to the grapes on his table, and mouthed: “It’s delicious.”

Xie Zuo took a grape and put it in his mouth. Well, it was indeed very sweet and delicious.

Feng Yi looked at him and smiled, shaking his colorful fan.

Xie Zuo was eating grapes and moved his eyes to the left, making eye contact with the man in white beside him who was secretly sizing him up.

Seeing Xie Zuo looking over, the man coughed lightly and looked ahead seriously.

Xie Zuo looked at the seat opposite him. Sitting there was a tall and strong man with dark purple hair and eyes of the same color. He had a high nose and deep eyes. He was very handsome.

Noticing Xie Zuo looking at him, he nodded reservedly at Xie Zuo.

Wow, Xie Zuo held the grapes in his hands and forgot to eat them. This must be Wu Sai, the little king in charge of the East China Sea. How could someone as vulgar as Wu Xiao have such a good-looking relative? It was said that in the East China Sea, the upright King Wu Xiao was going crazy all day, and all matters were taken care of by his distant brother.

In that case, the man in shabby white clothes sitting next to him was Beiyuan Deity – Shi Yuan.

Xie Zuo raised his chin and looked at Shi Yuan. This man wore rags when he was a young monk. Why did he look like he had no food or clothing when he became deity?

Shi Yuan frowned and looked back at Xie Zuo. Why did this man always look at him? It was so rude to look at others like this. After a while, Shi Yuan angrily found that Xie Zuo was still staring at him.

Shi Yuan cupped his hands at Xie Zuo and looked at him questioningly.

Xie Zuo smiled and finally looked away.

Shi Yuan touched his head. Why did this Southern Emperor feel familiar? Had he seen it somewhere…

.

Suddenly, Xie Zuo felt a powerful divine power. He looked up and saw Huo Yao appearing next to the throne of Tiandi.

As soon as Huo Yao appeared, the originally bustling temple immediately fell silent.

The deities held their breath and concentrated, not daring to release their breath. Some timid deities could hardly stand.

Huo Yao faced the throne of Tiandi, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: “Respectfully invite the spirit of heaven and earth, Tiandi!”

The deities knelt down one after another and said in unison: “Respectfully invite the spirit of heaven and earth, Tiandi!”

A dazzling holy light fell straight on the throne, so bright that everyone couldn’t open their eyes.

“Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, why don’t you kneel down?” The ethereal voice came from the throne, making everyone tremble.

‘You haven’t even sat down on your butt yet and you’re going to start asking questions?’

Xie Zuo looked at the ball of holy light and felt it was very dazzling, “Didn’t Tiandi say that all living beings in the six realms are equal, why should I kneel to you?”

Tiandi was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was even more ethereal, “That’s absolutely true. From now on, the deities no longer need to worship.”

The deities all over the sky stood up tremblingly, and they had only one comment on Xie Zuo: ‘He is a weirdo looking for death.’

The holy light disappeared, and his spiritual appearance appeared.

The deities were shocked again. Over the years, every time Tiandi appeared, they were just vague shadows. This time, they actually turned into entities!

The old deities were even more surprised. Since thousands of years ago, Tiandi took back its spiritual form that often walked around the world, it had never been released again. Why would he, today…

The deities in the southern kingdom could clearly see the spiritual form of Tiandi. There was a commotion immediately. ‘Wait, isn’t that their new emperor’s face?!’
