Chapter 975

Wang Mu nodded: "My side is the same. But Yang Jian's words are likely correct, Your Majesty—how should we respond?"

The Jade Emperor fell into thought: "Yang Chan isn't the key, the Precious Lotus Lamp isn't the key. To avoid altering the Heavenly Edicts and losing face, we must shut down the Heavenly Court. But then, what difference does that make from having the Heavenly Edicts stripped?"

"This method is unacceptable." Wang Mu shook her head. "Even if we must lose, we must lose with clarity. To seal the Heavenly Court outright—what kind of thing is that?"

Yang Jian bowed: "Your Majesty, Lady Wang, there is no need to worry. That Dao Jun has already offered two methods to resolve the Heavenly Court's predicament."

The Jade Emperor and Wang Mu's eyes lit up.

"Oh? Yang Jian, elaborate. We wish to hear what this Dao Jun has to say."

Yang Jian nodded: "Your Majesty and Lady Wang are familiar with the saying 'Transform Hu into Buddha'?"

The Jade Emperor and Wang Mu nodded.

Yang Jian: "The Dao Jun says that if Your Majesty and Lady Wang disregard your dignity and directly proclaim to Heaven and Earth, bestowing upon yourselves the titles of Ancestor of All Buddhas and Mother of All Buddhas, the crisis will be instantly resolved. If the Fomen prospers, and our Heavenly Court becomes part of the Fomen, isn't that also prosperity?"

Wang Mu and the Jade Emperor stared, dumbfounded.

This was truly an excellent solution.

Had they not held the supreme position in the Three Realms for too long and been bound by dignity, this would have been the most brilliant strategy.

"Unacceptable, unacceptable—how could I and Lady Wang do something so shameless?" The Jade Emperor shook his head. "Besides, the immortals of the Heavenly Court would never agree. Tell us the other method!"

If they hadn't held the position of Supreme Ruler of the Three Realms for too long and needed to preserve their dignity, this would be the most brilliant solution.

"It's inappropriate, utterly inappropriate—how could I, your Majesty, engage in such a shameless act?" the Jade Emperor shook his head. "Besides, the immortals of Heaven would never agree. Let's discuss the other method instead!"
