Chapter 744 Public Trial

After thinking for a while, Yao Chi asked first: "Tianzun, what should we do if Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou cannot survive the test of a hundred lifetimes?"

"Of course, I'll deal with them according to the laws of Heaven. The glimmer of hope I've given them is simply to prove that true love exists in this world. If the two of them can't be faithful to each other even for a hundred lifetimes, how can they possibly live comfortably in the rest of their lives?"

After hearing Bai Zhen's words, Haotian did not refute anything. After all, he felt sorry for his sister. If they could not survive Bai Zhen's test of a hundred lives, then no one could be sure whether they would turn from a loving couple to a couple of enemies in the long years to come. Therefore, instead of forcing them to be together, it would be better to punish them according to the rules of heaven.

After the punishment prescribed by the Heavenly Rules was over, Haotian would think about helping Yaoji return to Heaven. However, Haotian knew that no one knew how many reincarnations Yaoji would have to go through before she could return to Heaven! However, after so many reincarnations, when she returned to Heaven, perhaps it would be the time for her to overcome her emotional calamity and reach a higher level of cultivation!

"Tianzun, I wonder what you are going to do with my nephews?"

"Now that so many years have passed, your Heavenly Court is still short of talent. There are only two or three big cats and small cats left. I have checked your three nephews and nieces, and they are all quite talented. If they are trained properly, they can become three very good pillars of the Heavenly Court in the early stage!

However, their mother did violate the Heavenly Regulations. Giving them the opportunity to serve in Heaven and atone for their own and their parents' sins is already a mercy beyond the law. His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is merciful. If they still choose to knowingly break the law and follow in their parents' footsteps, then they will naturally need to be severely punished. In addition to the punishment prescribed by the Heavenly Regulations, they will also need to go through millions of reincarnations and overcome their emotional tribulations before they can return to Heaven!

Haotian and Yaochi felt that there was nothing wrong with Bai Zhen's proposal. The fact that they could practice peacefully in Heaven was already a consideration of their old friendship. If Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan had no blood relationship with Haotian, Haotian would have dealt with them according to the Heavenly Rules long ago and would not have cared that these children were innocent!

If they grew up in Heaven and had their parents' example before them, but still wanted to follow their parents' old path of wanting to be on earth, it only means that they are really not suitable for serving in Heaven and should be punished accordingly. After all, the gods in Heaven are working for the benefit of all living beings. If they disregard their own duties for their own selfish reasons and cause extremely bad consequences, then that is the sin of Heaven and it is irresponsible to all living beings!

After discussing the solution, Haotian immediately convened a court meeting and prepared to publicly try Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou at the court meeting. As for Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan, they were to be observers to prevent them from blindly following others' opinions and developing prejudices against the Heavenly Court!

There are few officials in the Heavenly Court nowadays, so even if all the gods are gathered together, the Lingxiao Palace will still be empty and not lively at all!

As Yang Tianyou and Yao Ji were escorted to the palace, Yao Ji immediately noticed the nine-tailed fox, which maintained the form of a mythical beast and lay on a cloud bed that was level with the throne that symbolized the Emperor of Heaven!

The moment she saw the presence of outsiders, Yao Ji knew that her thoughts on the mortal world might have become a big deal. Although Qingqiu had always been in seclusion, it did not mean that Qingqiu did not care about the outside world!

What's more, as the eldest princess of Heaven, she knew very well that Qingqiu held a great deal of power in Heaven. If the people from Qingqiu were not there, her elder brother Haotian might have a chance of receiving a lighter punishment. However, with outsiders present, it would be impossible for her elder brother to bend the law for personal gain. Naturally, all she could do now was to fight for a glimmer of hope for her children!

Yao Ji then knelt down without hesitation and pleaded bitterly to Haotian, "Your Majesty, I know my sins are grave and I am willing to accept any punishment from Heaven. But my children are innocent and know nothing. I hope Your Majesty will spare their lives for the sake of our past friendship. I can assure you that these three children will never do anything to harm Heaven!"
