Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2214 - The Tathagata's Request

The people of the Kingdom of Tianzhu, upon hearing Chu Hao's words, fell into deep thought, feeling regret and shame in their hearts.

They knew the true face of the Western Heavens and understood their own previous ignorance and foolishness, having worshiped the oppressive and utterly sinful Western Heavens as idols and saviors.

"We will no longer be oppressed by the Western Heavens!"

"Let Buddhism get out of the Kingdom of Tianzhu!"

"Thank you, Teacher Tang and your disciples, for rescuing us from the sea of suffering!"

The people of the Kingdom of Tianzhu shouted, their voices coming from the depths of their hearts and souls.

Hearing the people of the Kingdom of Tianzhu shouting like this, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong were very gratified. Their hard work had finally enlightened the people.

"It seems the people really know the sins of the Western Heavens."

"Brother, what should we do next?"

"Boss, save people to the end!"

Tang Seng and the others said to Chu Hao, because this matter was only half successful.

The Kingdom of Tianzhu was the root of the Western Heavens, and they valued it very much; otherwise, they would not have controlled it so strictly.

Therefore, it was not enough to simply let the people know the true face of the Western Heavens and resist their rule.

If the Western Heavens were to take a hard line against the people, how could these mortal people resist the Buddhas of the Western Heavens?

"I will arrange everything for them. You do as I say."

Chu Hao instructed Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, and then left alone.

Chu Hao wanted to provide protection for the people of the Kingdom of Tianzhu, and within the Three Realms, there was only one who could protect them: the Heavenly Court.

Chu Hao used the Transformation Rainbow Technique and headed towards the Heavenly Court, intending to discuss the matter with the Jade Emperor.

At the same time that Chu Hao returned to the Heavenly Court, in the Heavenly Court, Tathagata and Guanyin, who were being punished with a hundred days of confinement, were also discussing matters with nervous expressions.

Although Tathagata was imprisoned in the Heavenly Court, he had the Buddha Eyes that could observe the Three Realms and naturally knew what was happening in the Western Heavens and the Kingdom of Tianzhu.

"Now the Demon Race is besieging the Western Heavens, and Dipankara Buddha and the others cannot resist the Demon Race's attack. Mount Meru is already in imminent danger.

The people of the Kingdom of Tianzhu are rebelling, and our Western Heavens' three thousand temples there have been destroyed, and Buddhas have been killed in large numbers.

Whether it is Mount Meru in the Western Heavens or the Kingdom of Tianzhu, they are all our foundations and must not be lost."

Tathagata Buddha said to Guanyin and the others. Faced with such a situation, even Tathagata Buddha's face was full of worry.

"Buddha, we must return to the Western Heavens as soon as possible; otherwise, Mount Meru will not be able to be saved.

Buddha can discuss with the Jade Emperor. As long as we are willing to give some benefits to the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor will definitely agree."

Guanyin suggested to Tathagata Buddha.

"Well, that's the only way."

Although Tathagata was very unwilling to bow his head to the Jade Emperor, in the current situation, he had no choice but to do so.

Chu Hao, returning to the Heavenly Court, went directly to the Jade Void Palace to meet the Jade Emperor, without needing any notification or report.

Within the Three Realms, only Chu Hao enjoyed this treatment. Even Tathagata Buddha did not have such great face.

Seeing Chu Hao's arrival, the Jade Emperor, who was enjoying singing and dancing, immediately waved his hand with a smile.

"Prison God is here. Enjoy the singing and dancing with Us."

The Jade Emperor signaled Chu Hao to sit next to him, and the two drank wine and chatted slowly.

The Jade Emperor's life was naturally carefree and happy, but the reason he was able to be like this was also because of Chu Hao's existence.

After the Jade Emperor drank a cup of jade wine with Chu Hao, he asked Chu Hao.

"Everything is going smoothly. Next, it's up to Your Majesty to cooperate."

Chu Hao told the Jade Emperor about the situation in the Kingdom of Tianzhu in general terms.

"Well, the Kingdom of Tianzhu has always been controlled by the Western Heavens, causing the people to live in misery. We have been powerless before.

Now that Prison God has made all the arrangements, We will definitely do our best to cooperate with you and bring the Kingdom of Tianzhu under the rule of our Heavenly Court."

The Jade Emperor nodded in response to Chu Hao.

"However, the Kingdom of Tianzhu is the foundation of the Western Heavens. It will not be easy to get Tathagata Buddha and the Western Heavens to give up the Kingdom of Tianzhu."

The Jade Emperor then reminded Chu Hao.

"Jade Emperor, rest assured. Tathagata Buddha has no choice. He can only choose one between Mount Meru and the Kingdom of Tianzhu."

A dark smile appeared on Chu Hao's face, which made the Jade Emperor understand immediately.

In the current situation, the Kingdom of Tianzhu was out of control, and Mount Meru in the Western Heavens was besieged by the Demon Race. What other choice did Tathagata Buddha have?

Just as Chu Hao finished speaking, less than a cup of tea's time later, Tathagata Buddha's voice came over.

Tathagata was, after all, a man of great magical power. If he wanted to see the Jade Emperor, he did not need to meet him directly. He only needed to use the technique of sound transmission to talk to the Jade Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have important matters to discuss with you."

Tathagata Buddha's tone seemed very polite, which already explained the problem.

Chu Hao and the Jade Emperor smiled at the same time, and the Jade Emperor opened his mouth and replied.

"Buddha, there is no need to be so polite. Just speak your mind."

Although the Jade Emperor's words were still polite, he was extremely comfortable in his heart that Tathagata Buddha was willing to bow his head.

"Your Majesty, are you aware of the situation on Mount Meru?"

"Now the land of Mount Meru is being besieged by the Demon Race. If we do not return, I am afraid that Mount Meru will be occupied by the Demon Race."

"The Kingdom of Tianzhu is also in rebellion. That is the foundation of our Western Heavens. Please, Jade Emperor, be merciful and let us go back."

Tathagata Buddha revealed a pleading tone to the Jade Emperor, which made Tathagata Buddha himself feel a little ashamed.

Hearing Tathagata say this, the Jade Emperor felt even more comfortable. As expected, everything was as Chu Hao had predicted.

However, the Jade Emperor pretended to show a troubled expression on his face and kept shaking his head.

"Buddha, the punishment of a hundred days of confinement has already made the gods of the Heavenly Court dissatisfied with Us, saying that We are biased towards the Buddha and the Western Heavens.

If We let you leave like this, We will not be able to explain to the gods of the Heavenly Court, and the Three Realms will think that We are engaging in favoritism and corruption. How will We be able to manage the Three Realms in the future?"

The Jade Emperor replied to Tathagata Buddha fairly and solemnly.

However, then the Jade Emperor changed his tone and gave Tathagata Buddha a little hope.

"The Western Heavens are in crisis, and the Demon Race is rampant. It is indeed reasonable for the Buddha to go back to rescue them, and the laws of the Heavenly Court are not without human sentiment.

However, We can be flexible, but the Buddha must leave a guarantee. As long as the Buddha can agree to Our three requirements, We can let the Buddha leave with the people of the Western Heavens."

The Jade Emperor said to Tathagata Buddha. Of course, these three requirements were thought up by Chu Hao for the Jade Emperor.
