I glanced at the black shadow and reverted it back to its original form. 0
 
A beam of light suddenly emanated from the black shadow, revealing the War God. 0
 
"Ha, could it be that the Heavenly Emperor is truly ruthless?" The War God's eyes flickered with alarm. 0
 
I slowly approached the War God, crouched down, and said, "That phrase isn't quite right; it should be 'to eliminate future troubles.'" 0
 
As I spoke, the War God's face turned pale, and the panic in his eyes became evident. 0
 
"How about that? Isn't my choice of words good?" I mocked him. 0
 
The War God shook his head, visibly deflated. "No, Heavenly Emperor, you can't do this. I am the War God!" 0
 
I let out a cold laugh, surprised that even at death's door, he still maintained an air of arrogance. 0
 
"Really? What have you done as the War God?" I asked him, my lips curling into a deeper sneer. 0
 
"If you kill me, the Celestial Assembly will definitely rebel against you," the War God stood up, his gaze filled with a strange intensity. 0
 
I stood up as well and waved my hand. We arrived in the Heavenly Court, where all the celestial beings emerged. I looked at the War God calmly. "Didn't you say you had something to say to the Celestial Assembly?" 0
 
The War God was taken aback by the scene before him, disbelief etched on his face. He quickly regained his composure and said, "Esteemed celestial beings, weren't you all in support of me becoming the Heavenly Emperor? This is the perfect opportunity!" 0
 
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Assembly showed signs of hesitation; their expressions were complex. I took my seat at the head and observed their reactions. 0
 
"You all said that the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't take office, so why not nominate me instead? I promise I won't let anyone down," the War God continued. 0
 
Seeing that the celestial beings remained unresponsive only made him more anxious. 0
 
 
I calmly looked ahead, feeling no urgency in my heart. 0
 
"Why aren't you speaking?" the War God suddenly grew anxious. Upon hearing his words, the celestial beings lowered their heads in unison. 0
 
The War God seemed to understand something and turned to me, saying, "What exactly did you do to them?" 0
 
I chuckled lightly and walked toward the War God. "I haven't done anything to them. The fact that they aren't supporting you means they don't want you as the Heavenly Emperor. Even if they did support you, you wouldn't be able to shake my position." 0
 
Upon hearing my words, the War God showed a hint of surprise on his face but maintained his original demeanor. "I don't believe it." 0
 
After saying this, he turned once more to the celestial beings and asked, "Do you really not wish to support me in ascending to power? What were your thoughts then?" 0
 
His words directly rattled the celestial beings. 0
 
I quietly observed their expressions; it turned out these individuals had made an agreement with the War God in private. 0
 
"Why are you unwilling to step forward now?" the War God shouted angrily at them. 0
 
"If you wish to support the War God as the Heavenly Emperor, then I will grant your wish. After all, this Celestial Position isn't without its candidates," I interjected at that moment. 0
 
"Heavenly Emperor, what do you mean by that?" one of the celestial beings immediately stood up upon hearing my words. 0
 
"What I mean is that you can seek another candidate for Heavenly Emperor from the War God, and I can also choose someone else as a celestial being. Since you're willing to side with the War God, I have nothing more to say," I replied straightforwardly. 0
 
"That's not how it is, Heavenly Emperor; you've misunderstood," the other celestial beings began to stand up as well, trying to explain themselves to me. 0
 
"Are you all planning to betray me?" The War God stepped forward upon hearing this, glaring at the celestial beings. 0
 
"War God, do not impose your desires upon us. Our plans have nothing to do with yours," one of the celestial beings retorted directly in response to the War God's accusation. 0
 
 
The War God's expression suddenly darkened; he had never expected these celestial beings to turn against him. 0
 
I smiled lightly, ready to watch how they would begin to argue among themselves. 0
 
"Ha ha, so you still want to be the dogs of the Heavenly Emperor. Good, good, I, the War God, willingly accept defeat at your hands," he suddenly laughed, though the smile on his face was bitter. 0
 
I glanced at the War God and said, "Since you already know the outcome, then decide your own fate." 0
 
Upon hearing my words, the War God looked despairingly at the celestial beings. Perhaps they felt they had gone too far; one by one, they lowered their heads, afraid to meet his gaze again. 0
 
Battle Scar gave me a deep look and raised his hand, striking his own head. The War God immediately spat out a mouthful of black blood and collapsed to the ground. In no time, a faint light began to emanate from him; I knew he was disappearing. 0
 
The expressions on the faces of those celestial beings grew even more complicated upon witnessing this scene. 0
 
Once the War God had completely vanished, I turned my attention back to the celestial beings. It seemed that I had been too lenient with them in the past; it was time to deal with them now. 0
 
I waved my hand, and a beam of light flashed through the midst of these celestial beings, forming a surrounding circle that bound them within it like a massive cage. 0
 
"Heavenly Emperor, what do you mean by this?" Soon enough, some of the celestial beings began to understand. 0
 
I coldly looked at one of them and said, "What do you think it means? Don't you have any idea?" 0
 
The celestial beings were momentarily stunned by my words, appearing confused as they stammered, "Heavenly Emperor, are you still concerned about what happened before? But the War God has already received his punishment; he won't pose a threat to you again." 0
 
I nodded in agreement with their statement. The War God had indeed been punished, but that did not mean I would forget that these celestial beings conspired with him to replace me. 0
 
"Then why does the Heavenly Emperor treat us this way?" one asked. 0
 
"Yes, Heavenly Emperor, we are absolutely innocent!" another chimed in. 0
 
"Ha ha, innocent? Don't you know in your hearts?" I replied to them. 0
 
Upon hearing my words, the celestial beings fell silent, their faces filled with guilt. I continued, "In truth, I have already been quite lenient with you. Yet you fail to show gratitude and instead become increasingly audacious. Now you have no more chances; this is entirely your doing and has nothing to do with me." 0
 
 
After saying that, the celestial beings seemed to understand something and began using their celestial techniques to deal with the cage I had created. 0
 
But they did not know that this cage could absorb the celestial energy from them. 0
 
"How could this happen?" one celestial being exclaimed in shock. 0
 
"Exactly, what is going on?" another celestial being also looked surprised. 0
 
I watched them, a slight smile curling at the corners of my mouth as I said, "You all thought I wouldn’t dare to act against you, believing I couldn’t find anyone to replace you, right?" 0
 
As I voiced their thoughts, their faces flushed with embarrassment. 0
 
I then called out into the air. 0
 
The moment my voice fell, Ruoxi, Imperial Child, Celestial Child, the little fox, Flower Spirit, Feng Ju, and Xiaomin appeared beside me. 0
 
Upon seeing these individuals, the Masters seemed to realize something. "Heavenly Emperor, you truly are a fox. It turns out you had already planned to find replacements for us long ago. Hah, we have suffered greatly because of you." 0
 
"Heavenly Emperor, you are indeed ruthless." 0
 
"Haha, we admit defeat." 0
 
With that, all the celestial beings voluntarily gave up their celestial techniques and then took their own lives. 0
 
I looked at these vanishing celestial beings with a complex expression, retracting the cage. Ruoxi glanced at Imperial Child and Celestial Child before making them disappear. 0
 
"Wang Jun, are you alright?" Ruoxi supported me at that moment. 0
 
I shook my head and replied to Ruoxi, "I'm fine, don’t worry." 0
 
 
Upon hearing my words, Ruoxi still looked somewhat worried. 0
 
"Wang Jun, if something is bothering you, you must tell me. Otherwise, keeping it to yourself will only make me worry," Ruoxi said with a serious expression as she looked at me. 0
 
I nodded in response and assured her that I would be fine. 0
 
Seeing that I was unwilling to share more, Ruoxi didn’t press the matter further. 0
 
"Ruoxi, how did you bring the Celestial Child and the Imperial Child here? Have they returned to their positions already?" I suddenly recalled something and asked Ruoxi. 0
 
After hearing my question, Ruoxi nodded and replied, "Yes, this surprised me as well. I didn't expect them to awaken so quickly." 0
 
I nodded and reached out to touch Ruoxi's cheek. "You've worked hard; all of this is thanks to you." 0
 
Ruoxi came closer to me and said, "It's not hard at all, Wang Jun. Don't you remember? This is what I should be doing." 0
 
At that moment, the little fox suddenly walked in. Upon seeing our intimate interaction, she froze for a moment and exclaimed, "Master, is this my Master's Wife? She's so beautiful!" 0
 
After saying that, the little fox displayed a lovestruck expression. 0
 
Hearing the little fox's words, Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh and turned to me. "Wang Jun, how come you've taken on a disciple?" 0
 
I smiled lightly and explained to Ruoxi. After listening, she said, "I see. But this little fox is indeed very cute." 0
 
The little fox, hearing Ruoxi compliment her, immediately walked over to her side with a flattering expression and said, "Master's Wife is the best! However, Master's Wife, there's something else I want to ask of you. Do you think Master's Wife would be willing?" 0
 
Ruoxi looked at the little fox curiously. "What is it?" 0
 
The little fox shyly glanced at me before saying, "I feel it's a bit inconvenient to follow Master since he’s a man. I would like to follow Master's Wife instead. Would Master's Wife be willing?" 0
 
 
Upon hearing the little fox's words, Ruoxi was momentarily taken aback before bursting into laughter. She turned to me and asked, "Wang Jun, do you agree?" 0
 
I nodded and replied, "Sure." 0
 
Seeing my agreement, the little fox jumped up joyfully and hugged Ruoxi, who looked at me with a helpless expression. 0
 
I then said to Ruoxi, "The little fox is right; it's not very convenient for her to follow me. Please help her out and take her with you." 0
 
Ruoxi smiled slightly at my words and replied, "Alright." 0
 
I felt a sense of relief at Ruoxi's response and nodded, saying, "Little fox, from now on, you'll be with your Master's Wife. Understand? You mustn't make your Master's Wife angry or let her get too tired." 0
 
Hearing my words, the little fox couldn't help but roll her eyes at me and said, "Okay." 0
 
Seeing this, I let the little fox go down and stood up, offering the main seat to Ruoxi. 0
 
"Wang Jun, what are you doing?" Ruoxi asked with a puzzled expression. 0
 
I chuckled and said, "It's nothing much. Just sit down; I want to give you a massage." 0
 
With that, I placed my hands on Ruoxi's shoulders and began to massage them. "How is it, my little wife? Is it comfortable?" 0
 
Ruoxi was thoroughly enjoying it and nodded in response. "Very nice. Where did Wang Jun learn these skills?" 0
 
Her question made me feel quite awkward. 0
 
"Hehe, it's just something I've mastered myself." In truth, I had learned it while spending time with A Yao, but I didn't dare to mention that for fear of upsetting Ruoxi. 0
 
Fortunately, Ruoxi didn't press further and continued to enjoy the massage I was giving her. 0
 
 
After a while, I noticed that Ruoxi seemed unresponsive. When I looked closer, I realized she had fallen asleep. I was momentarily taken aback and felt a bit helpless, so I picked her up and carried her back to my chamber. Just as I laid Ruoxi down, Celestial Child suddenly appeared at the door of my chamber. 0
 
Seeing the anxious look on Celestial Child's face, I couldn't help but ask what was wrong. 0
 
"Not good! Something has happened, Heavenly Emperor! You need to go check it out!" Celestial Child immediately reported as soon as I spoke. 0
 
"What do you mean?" I was somewhat confused. 0
 
"It's the Imperial Child," Celestial Child replied. 0
 
I naturally understood that the term "Imperial Child" referred to someone specific. Without having time to ask further questions, I followed Celestial Child to the scene of the incident. The place was in complete chaos, resembling a garbage dump. 0
