Chapter 506: Chapter 496 Rabbit, Pour the Wine! Chapter 506: Chapter 496 Rabbit, Pour the Wine! Yi Zheng’s eyes bulged in shock; this was seriously off-script, and his brain just couldn’t keep up with these concepts.

However, looking at Gonggong’s smug expression, he pulled out a carrot and handed it over, “Call me bro.”

The proud look on Gonggong’s face immediately collapsed, “Rabbit, can we use a different term? Give me some face, and I’ll look out for you in the future. What do you say?”

Yi Zheng grinned, “Eat the carrot.”

“Alright!” Gonggong knew that the deal was struck. After taking a bite of the carrot: “Hmm! This tastes good! Eh?!”

After smacking his lips, Gonggong slapped the table and exclaimed, “This is no ordinary carrot! No, wait, it is a carrot!”

Yi Zheng didn’t think too much and casually replied, “Not a carrot; I created it with divine skills. What about it?”

Gonggong’s eyes lit up, “Rabbit, are you sure you made this? It’s not summoned?”

Yi Zheng scratched his head, “I made it, yeah. What’s up?”

Gonggong inhaled sharply, and the way he looked at Yi Zheng changed.

Ying Zhao, the Kaiming Beast, Lu Wu, and Rare were all watching Gonggong in confusion, “Hey, Gonggong, what’s the matter?”

Gonggong tucked away the half-eaten carrot, “I’m not sure myself; I’ll go ask my sister about it. We’ll talk more later!”

Then, Gonggong changed the subject, “Right, didn’t I tell you about it before? Those people who worshipped me all drowned in a great flood.”

After that, I realized divine skills are unreliable.

I had to teach them how to manage water.

Later on, I started managing water with humans, spirit beasts, members of the Demon Clan, and others who had suffered from the flood.

Although my methods were a bit brutish, they were effective.

And they could learn from them, even if they can’t move mountains, they could still move giant stones or small hills.

I call this…

Yi Zheng shouted, “It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish!”

Gonggong rolled his eyes, “What’s this fish, fish, fish talk? Are you still drunk? You can’t even speak clearly! I call it a permanent solution.”

Yi Zheng wasn’t offended; instead, he clicked his tongue in admiration, “I didn’t expect it, but you, this big dummy, are quite thoughtful.”

Gonggong spread his hands wide, “What else? Am I supposed to rely on those river gods and mountain gods to do the work?”

As soon as he said this, Lu Wu became curious, “Right, when rivers overflow, don’t the river gods take care of it?”

Gonggong shook his head, “They take care of nothing! With their little power, they’re doing well if they can manage rainfall. When a great river breaks its banks, besides reporting to the Heavenly Court, at most they can save a few people.

To be honest, I’ve always thought that humans worshipping gods is a bunch of baloney.

If humans can become gods, why worship them?

Only when you’re formidable on your own does it truly count!”

As Yi Zheng heard this, his perception of Gonggong changed even more.

At first, he thought Gonggong was just an ill-mannered lowlife; then, he thought him a simpleton, but now he suddenly realized Gonggong was neither a fool nor a lowlife, but rather wise in his simplicity!

This guy was definitely not as simple-minded as he seemed!

Ying Zhao nodded in agreement, “Exactly, relying on mountains or trees will fail you, but relying on yourself is the true way.”

Gonggong said, “So, I don’t get it, why do people needlessly worship some bird god? When there’s a flood, can’t they just block it themselves? If there’s an earthquake, can’t they run on their own? It’s as if believing in gods means there’d be no floods or earthquakes.”

Yi Zheng was beginning to like this big guy.

While they were chatting, more powerful divine beings descended upon them.

The first to arrive were four immensely powerful life forms. One rode a White Tiger, another commanded a purple Divine Phoenix, one was seated upon a Yin Bai crane, and the last, who was the most conspicuous, was actually standing on top of a mountain!

Ying Zhao quickly introduced them to the side: “The one riding the White Tiger is the Great Emperor Gouchen, the Lord of Heaven.

The one commanding the purple Divine Phoenix… don’t look at me like that; it’s a phoenix, not a fenghuang! A phoenix is male, and fenghuang female. There’s nothing wrong with using a Divine Phoenix as a mount. And hold your tongue, that’s the Great Emperor of the North Star in Purple Forbidden Enclosure!

The one on the Yin Bai crane is the Great Emperor of Eternal Life from the South Pole.”

Yi Zheng pointed at the woman who was descending upon a tall mountain, with dark clouds rolling beneath her like the presence of a demon queen, “And who is that?”

Before Ying Zhao could explain, Gonggong spoke first, “That’s my sister, who accords with Heaven and enacts the role of Queen Houtu, the Earthly Deity!”

Yi Zheng had thought that with the arrival of the mountain, Gonggong would be emboldened; however, he found that as soon as Queen Houtu, the Earthly Deity, arrived, Gonggong instantly corrected his posture, sitting up straight, his gaze becoming much more earnest and upright. It was as though he was standing at attention!

Yi Zheng laughed, “So that’s your sister, but how come you act even more cowardly when she shows up?”

Gonggong replied confidently, “You clearly don’t have an older sister; she is my sworn sibling. My elder sister, you know…”

At this, Gonggong’s eyes brimmed with tears.

Yi Zheng suddenly remembered some videos he had seen back on Earth, where it seemed that elder sisters inherently had the upper hand over younger brothers! Generally, if there’s a sister and brother in the family, the brother is usually raised under the sister’s firm hand. They say it’s a matter of bloodline suppression…

Could it be that the innate gods and demons of the Divine Realm are also like this?

Ying Zhao continued, “Rabbit, do you know what these four Great Emperors are collectively called?”

Yi Zheng said, “The Four Imperials?”

Ying Zhao smiled and said, “That’s right, the Four Imperials. However, there’s another name for them, called the Four Aids! They are the ones who assist the Jade Emperor in governing the world, considered just below one person and above all others!”

Yi Zheng asked, “Even above The Queen Mother of the West and Queen Mother?”

Ying Zhao’s smile abruptly stopped, and then he quickly covered Yi Zheng’s mouth, saying, “That doesn’t count the older generation among those innate gods and demons. They have jumped out of the three realms and are not within the Five Elements, thus they are not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. However, they still have to give face to the Heavenly Court…

And besides, there are innate gods and demons in the Heavenly Court as well, such as Lady Houtu.”

Yi Zheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Kaiming Beast sighed, “Just imagine, if Lady Houtu hadn’t given Kunlun Mountain to The Queen Mother of the West, what would our life be like now?”

Before anyone else could respond, Yi Zheng said first, “What else could it be? Either you’d be frozen in ice, or you would obediently shut up and squat in West Kunlun without coming out. If you dared to make Kunlun Daily, you’d definitely be beaten to death.”

Everybody: “…”

As they chatted, more and more influential figures arrived, one powerful divine spirit after another. After the arrival of these immortals, the surrounding mountains continued to grow, but without exception, no one dared to surpass the height of the Jade Emperor.

At most, they were on par with The Queen Mother of the West and Queen Mother.

However, Yi Zheng carefully observed that those who claimed to be equal were still ever so slightly lower than The Queen Mother of the West and Queen Mother…

As more and more people arrived, the Kaiming Beast and others knew that Rabbit was almost completely ignorant of matters in heaven. Therefore, the eight heads of the Kaiming Beast took on the role of commentators, introducing the identities of the newcomers one by one.

As for the remaining head, it was responsible for eating fruit, while also not forgetting to beckon the Blue-Clothed Fairy to bring more wine over.

Among these countless figures, Yi Zheng finally saw some familiar faces from legends.

Like the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, the Martial Saint Guan Yu, and so on…

However, Yi Zheng also noticed that, although the Pan Peach Festival was a very grand event, not all immortals had come. At least Yi Zheng had not seen the East King, nor the legendary Marquis of Wind, nor any of the Three Emperors of man…

Most of those who came were directly affiliated with the Heavenly Court and divine spirits, along with some large Sects, such as members of the Buddhist Sect.

Very few Innate Demon Gods had come…

To use Gonggong’s words: “Everyone has lived too long, and they’ve grown tired of these peaches. Usually, everyone would rather sleep than come out for no reason.”

As the pantheon settled in their seats, a bell rang, signifying the official start of the Pan Peach Festival!

However, by the time the festival started, the six people at Yi Zheng’s table were already drunk, their faces flushed and tongues thick as they huddled together, occasionally glancing at female fairies nearby and chuckling about something unknown before breaking into sly laughter.

What was overbearing was that after a round of strange laughter, these rascals impudently swept their Divine Sense over, which was truly rude!

The female fairies, feeling uncomfortable under the gaze of these few, frowned if they were good-natured, turning their backs on them.

Those with bad tempers glared straight at them, and some had even started banging on the table.

But when they heard the content of these few people’s chatter, their angry expressions turned to bemusement.

“I bet she has thirty-six thousand hairs!”

“I bet thirty-five thousand!”

“I’m betting two cups of wine, thirty-seven thousand hairs!”

Rabbit said, “I’m in, I think this fairy has at most thirty thousand strands of worry!”

…

“Gonggong, scan it, scan it! Let’s see how many exactly,” Ying Zhao called out.

Gonggong’s Divine Sense immediately swept over, “Thirty-seven thousand hairs! Rabbit, you were the furthest off, you lose, you drink!”

At these words, Rabbit let out a mournful wail and then lifted his cup, gulping down the wine.

“These guys…” The female fairies shook their heads helplessly and couldn’t be bothered with them anymore.

Yi Zheng had lost several rounds in a row and was feeling a bit irked.

According to the rules of the wager, the loser could choose the next target of the bet.

Just as Yi Zheng was about to look for his target, an arrogant voice came over, “Betting drinks? Are you kids playing house? Gonggong, you really are getting more and more childish, playing with these kiddos!”

At these words, Yi Zheng’s brows furrowed and he looked up to see a man with a head of red hair and eyes burning with flames coming towards them.

The man was bare-chested, revealing his toned and well-defined abs, with a spectacle of a dragon tattoo coiled around his body, looking extremely wild, burly, and handsome!

Only those eyes, as if they were perched atop his skull, looked down on everyone with disdain.

Below his feet was a river of flame, carrying him as he flew in, clearly having just arrived at the venue and immediately seeking to provoke Gonggong.

This guy was even more arrogant than Gonggong, as he directly took Yi Zheng’s seat and then pulled out a crystal cup, placing it in front of Yi Zheng, and tapped the table with his finger, “Rabbit, pour the wine!”
