The immortals chatted idly: "Yang Jian has a Dao companion? He's the God of Justice, and he's the first to break the Celestial Laws. The Jade Emperor isn't going to do anything?"
"Do you know who Yang Jian's Dao companion is? It's the little demon lord of the Demon Realm, and a direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. The last time he got angry, he nearly tore down the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. How could the Jade Emperor dare interfere?"
"Who would have thought someone as cold and heartless as Yang Jian could fall in love? What a surprise!"
"Fall in love? Yang Jian was forced into it. I heard that when he became God of Justice, he tried to end things by citing the Celestial Laws. But the next day, the little demon lord came to his door, and it all came to nothing."
"After acting so high and mighty all these years, he deserves a taste of that humiliation!"
The immortals all waited for a good show. At last, Yang Jian was betrayed by everyone and fell into the mud, only to be caught before he hit the ground.
As for Yang Jian, he once made a great disturbance in Heaven to save his mother. Back then, he slew several Golden Crows during his assault on Heaven, shocking the celestial realm. But who could have imagined that a thousand years later, he would personally recreate the tragedy that had befallen the Yang family? The dragon slayer had become a dragon himself, despised and abandoned by all his friends.
Yang Jian had endured years of humiliation to change the Celestial Laws. At last, the new laws came into effect:
1. Respect Heaven and Earth, and follow the course of fate.
2. Maintain balance. Those who fall in love must relinquish authority.
3. Be practical in cultivation; governing is the test.
4. Laws must adapt to changing times... Hundreds of new Celestial Laws were added, giving rise to tens of thousands of celestial statutes and regulations.
Several hundred years later, immortals who had suffered the pains of love and endured the trials of reincarnation wished to return to Heaven. But they found that Heaven had changed beyond recognition. New recruits had to pass examinations, and even those already on the job had to compete. The immortals were the most overworked workers of all.
The immortals were furious. "Aren't we supposed to obey the Celestial Laws and relinquish authority if we fall in love? Why is Yang Jian still in office? He said he was forced, but it was all just a scheme. Who could possibly force him to do anything?"
"Then go and challenge him if you have the guts!"
"Yang Jian can be called the creator of the new Celestial Laws. His path has Heaven's approval, so Heaven itself supervises them."
The immortals grumbled as they went back to work, scrambling to improve their performance. This time, he absolutely couldn't come in last on the evaluation!!!
1. This story draws on The Erlang Treasure Scroll, Investiture of the Gods, The Lotus Lantern, and mythological stories and legends from Baidu Baike.
2. This is a self-indulgent story. The pairing is Yang Jian (top) x Junzi Wu (bottom), with mutual pampering and a sweet romance. If that's not your thing, please close the page.
3. The point of view isn't fixed. Both characters get perspective scenes, and even I don't know how many of each will be written. If that bothers you, this may not be for you.
4. More details will be added if needed.
[Coming soon in the same series: Break This Investiture Scam]
Jiang Ziya cultivated himself into an immortal and joined the Kunlun sect. He vowed to protect all living beings across the Three Realms, vanquish demons, and bring blessings to the world.
So he followed his master's instructions, took up the Investiture of the Gods, and helped the Western Zhou overthrow the Shang. After the investiture was complete and the gods had taken their places, he expected to usher in an era of peace and prosperity. Instead, he discovered that his master and the Three Teachings had conspired in a scheme against humanity's fate.
The Shang dynasty had fallen, and after Emperor Xin, there would never again be a human emperor. This was a situation Jiang Ziya himself had created. He would no longer be an immortal, but the human world gained a wandering immortal seeking atonement.
Later, he was reborn before the War of the Investiture of the Gods, just as the plans against humanity were first being put into motion.
Immortals could not be deceived, and demons could not be tricked. Only humanity could be controlled.
Now that he knew what was to come, he had many chances to correct the mistakes he'd made. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would break this Investiture scam!
Ever since the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun had sensed that his once-obedient disciple had changed.
Yuanshi Tianzun: What caused your first defeat against the Shang?
Jiang Ziya: This disciple has not mastered his studies.
Defeated again.
This disciple fell for their trick!
Defeated once more.
This disciple miscalculated!
Yuanshi Tianzun decided to investigate in person, only to discover another side of his disciple. Every one of the successive defeats had been carefully planned by Jiang Ziya.
When Yuanshi Tianzun went to confront him, his usually obedient disciple finally showed his fangs.
"Master, humanity is not a chess piece for you to move around as you please!"
The ruler at the chessboard had encountered an uncontrollable piece for the first time. For the first time in ages, Yuanshi Tianzun's usually detached heart stirred with a flicker of interest.
The game had begun, and until the winner was decided, anything was possible.
Theme: Endure humiliation and hardship to change the Celestial Laws
Every time I see Yang Jian, I will automatically bring him in to pursue the moonlight in my heart, and then... Alas! Although he has good looks, I am no longer the person I used to be who only cares about his face.
I have only read Lotus Lantern and the prequel of Lotus Lantern, and the mother is not Yao Ji. Isn't the third sister's name Yang Chan?
Hiss, but if it is really open, then the gods will really be moved and the three worlds will be restless [Hands together]
"What are the facts" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ What are the interesting things?
🧋 Pre-order for the same series [Break this deception scam] Jiang Ziya became an immortal and worshiped Kunlun. He vowed to protect all living beings in the three realms, subjugate demons and benefit the common people. Therefore, he obeyed his master's orders, held the list of gods, and helped the Western Zhou Dynasty destroy the Shang Dynasty. After the gods were made, the gods returned to their places. When he thought that what would usher in would be a prosperous and peaceful country, he discovered that this was just a scam created by his master and the three religions to target the destiny of the human race. The Shang Dynasty fell, and there was no emperor after Emperor Xin. However, this situation was caused by Jiang Ziya. From then on, he no longer became a god, but there was an additional loose immortal in the human world to atone for his sins. Later, he was reborn before the Conferred Gods War, and all the plans for the human race were just born. Immortals cannot be deceived, monsters cannot be deceived, but only humans can control them. And he learned that this time he still had many opportunities to change the mistakes he made back then. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would definitely break this deception scam! After becoming a god, Yuanshi Tianzun noticed that his former obedient disciple had changed. Yuanshi Tianzun: The Yin Shang Dynasty was defeated for the first time. What was the reason? Jiang Ziya: It's because the disciple is not good at studying. Defeated again. The disciple fell into the trap! Defeated again. The disciple made a mistake! Yuanshi Tianzun planned to investigate in person, but he discovered another side of his apprentice. The successive defeats were all carefully planned by him. When he went to question him, his usually obedient disciple finally showed his claws. "Master, humans are not chess pieces that you can manipulate at will!" The master who controlled the chessboard encountered uncontrolled chess pieces for the first time, and Yuanshi Tianzun's usually indifferent mood aroused some rare interest. The chess game has been played, and anything is possible before the outcome is determined.
