Who Stole My Eggs?

Huo Yao left the abyss and first went to Wu Mountain and Meng Mountain in the south. He stayed in the mountains for three days and then went to heaven to find Mu Rong.

Mu Rong had injured his waist on Meng Mountain and had been lying down at home to recuperate these days. Suddenly, he saw the Great Thunder Deity appearing beside his bed, and he was so frightened that he almost died.

“Big… Great Deity of Thunder, you…” Mu Rong panicked and tried to get up, but was pushed back to the bed by Huo Yao.

“Don’t move, just lie down and recover.” Huo Yao glanced at his room and waved his hand to set a ban. “Have you found out about the petition of thousands of people?”

Mu Rong hurriedly said, “It’s been checked out. Indeed, it’s the two deities, Man Yue and Qing Cha, who are so greedy that they want to use the power of mortals’ wishes to conquer the Wu and Meng Mountains.”

Huo Yao looked at him with lowered eyes without saying a word.

Mu Rong secretly thought he was indeed not easy to fool, and Huo Yao really noticed it. He had always been afraid of Huo Yao. Now that he was alone with him and looked at with his scrutinizing eyes, he unconsciously wanted to find Xie Zuo.

Huo Yao saw Mu Rong’s wandering eyes and knew what he wanted to do. He said coldly, “Don’t look, I didn’t bring him here. His tribulation is coming soon. Don’t disturb him in the near future.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know, I know!” Mu Rong nodded repeatedly.

Mu Rong was very confused. Huo Yao must have discovered something was wrong to come and ask him now. However, he originally planned to keep this matter in his heart forever. Huo Yao was Xie Zuo’s lover, but he was also the most loyal believer. He… was worried.

Mu Rong lied bravely, “Does the Great Thunder Deity have anything else to ask?”

“You don’t trust me,” Huo Yao said.

“No… I don’t dare!”

“Okay, if you don’t tell me, then let me ask you. Petition by thousands of people is a forbidden technique in the divine world, and only high-level deities know it. How do you know about the Man Yue and Qing Cha? As far as I know, Wu Mountain and Meng Mountain calmed down after Xie Zuo agreed to help them find someone. Why did they suddenly become angry again?”

Mu Rong looked ashamed. “I… didn’t think about it so much.”

Huo Yao knew that he was clever and knew the reason. Still, he didn’t trust him. Mu Rong’s refusal to say, or in other words, his fear to say, had already confirmed Huo Yao’s conjecture from the side.

Huo Yao no longer pressed him and only said, “Xie Zuo values you very much. I hope you can stay with him when he survives the tribulation.”

“I will,” Mu Rong said without hesitation.

“Good.”

Seeing that Huo Yao was really about to leave, Mu Rong stopped him cruelly. “You also found out, right? What are you going to do?”

Huo Yao didn’t answer. He left Mu Rong’s residence and went straight to the Taixu Realm.

.

The peaceful scene of the past in the Taixu Realm was no longer there. Instead, it was covered with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder.

Huo Yao looked at the red thunder and lightning that appeared and disappeared around him, his expression becoming more solemn. He had seen these red thunder and lightning before and thought it was a sign of the wrath of Tiandi. He actually forgot that there was another situation—divine punishment.

The tribulations experienced by creatures in the six realms were usually heavenly tribulations. On the day when the merits were completed, Huo Yao would perform it on behalf of Tiandi. There was another thing that Huo Yao could not control, which was divine punishment, sent down by Tiandi when they wanted to completely wipe out a living being who had committed a very evil act.

“Great Deity of Thunder, you are here.” The voice of Tiandi echoed in the boundless realm of Taixu. It was no longer ethereal and slow, but heavy and condensed.

Huo Yao shook his head. Why didn’t he realize it before? The voice of Tiandi was so strange, completely different from his Heavenly Father. It was ridiculous that he had been deceived for so long!

A spear made of condensed thunder and lightning took shape in Huo Yao’s hand. The lightning of the spear was so sharp that even the black clouds in this Taixu Realm hid far away.

“I dare to ask Tiandi, is this the tribulation you are going to bring down for Xie Zuo, or is it divine punishment?”

“You discovered it,” Tiandi said without any shame. “The demon king Xie Zuo is the evil seed I left in the world. From the beginning, he shouldn’t be alive, and now is the time.”

‘You evildoer…’ Huo Yao thought of that day when his Heavenly Father mysteriously told him that he had created a younger brother for him and asked him to take good care of him. Heavenly Father loved the birth of new life so much. He once said that no matter whether this creature was evil or good in the future, the moment of new life was the most beautiful and pure.

He was so stupid; he didn’t realize it until now…

Huo Yao pointed the tip of his spear forward. “It was you who instigated the two low-level divine envoys of the Southern Kingdom to use the forbidden arts petitioned by thousands of people. The riots in Wu Mountain and Meng Mountain were also caused by you. Xie Zuo is the emperor of the Southern Kingdom. If he cannot save those 20,000 people, he will have to bear all the sins. You wanted to use this to reduce his merits, but you didn’t expect that Xie Zuo saved another person and his merits increased.”

Tiandi was silent for a while and then laughed twice. “Great Thunder Deity, you are so direct. You just said it. What else do you know?”

“The death of the former Southern Emperor, Yun Jue.” There had always been doubt about his death. Yun Jue had been an emperor for tens of thousands of years, and his merits were like a sea. He shouldn’t have failed to survive the minor tribulation. He was afraid that Yun Jue also knew something, so…

“It seems that you know everything. Are you planning to declare war on me?” Tiandi was very arrogant. “I am Tiandi, in charge of life and death in the six realms, and you, just a little thunder deity, why should you fight with me?”

Huo Yao didn’t say anything anymore; the matter was already clear. Tiandi at this time were not his Heavenly Father at all, but an evil consciousness occupying the position of Tiandi. He was an impostor thief!

The real Heavenly Father… had never returned to the realm of Taixu. Instead, he was reincarnated into the world with the help of the former Demon King Xie Xiao and had always stayed by his side!

When Tiandi were first born, there was no distinction between the space, it was an egg shape floating in the universe. After Tiandi emerged from the shell, the upper part of the two halves of the eggshell was the divine world and the lower part was the earth. Yesterday, the piece of broken eggshell he saw in the crack of the abyss was the piece left behind by Tiandi. Therefore, Xie Zuo couldn’t help but want to touch it, and it only reflected Xie Zuo’s shadow.

With this false Tiandi in front of him, Xie Zuo’s true identity must be had long been suspected.

Huo Yao would completely deal with him today.
