Chapter 977

The Jade Emperor gazed at Yang Jian and said, "Yang Jian, step forward to receive your decree!"

"Yes."

"I have already proclaimed to Heaven and Earth, and now I appoint you Lord of the Land of Merit and Virtue, Heavenly Lord of the Western Radiant Light. Do you accept?"

"Your servant accepts the decree and thanks Your Majesty." Yang Jian bowed, and as his words ended, a brilliant light blazed across his body — the manifestation of the Light Dao, representing the will of Heaven and Earth.

It also proved that the Jade Emperor's claim of proclaiming to Heaven and Earth was no lie.

In an instant, Yang Jian's aura surged greatly, signaling the beginning of destiny's flow toward him.

"I never expected the True Lord would dare confront the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan — what courage!"

"The True Lord bears burdens for the Heavenly Court. I once thought him hypocritical, but now I see he is a true gentleman."

"Yes, yes. Congratulations, True Lord."

The others spoke, stepping forward to pay respects and offer congratulations.

Nezha grew anxious and sent a divine whisper: "Second brother, why did you agree? This is extremely risky."

"Nezha, there is more to this matter. After court, I will explain in detail." Yang Jian gave a glance and whispered back.
