Seeing that the Jade Emperor had only brought a few deities with him, Ye Tian felt somewhat disappointed. This likely meant that the Jade Emperor still intended to claim the true Sun-Shooting Divine Bow for himself.
After all, the bow was crucial to the Golden List Livestream trial. Whoever possessed it would have a greater chance of shooting down another sun from the sky!
"Since you're here, tell me—do you have any method to control this Sun-Shooting Divine Bow?"
"Let me give it a try!"
The Jade Emperor stepped forward, took the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, and prepared to draw it. However, just as he attempted to pull the string, he suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself unable to withstand the sensation. Not only was he dizzy, but he also felt nauseous, as if he was on the verge of vomiting.
Staggering, he nearly collapsed, but Erlang Shen quickly supported him. "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but what just happened? Why did I feel this way? Could it be that I'm sick? Is this some kind of serious illness? Why do I feel so dizzy?"
Hearing the Jade Emperor's words, Ye Tian smirked. He hadn't expected the Jade Emperor to be so afraid of death.
"Jade Emperor, could it be that you've been ruling for too long, exhausting yourself day and night? Maybe you're just suffering from mental fatigue. How about a full-body checkup to see what's wrong?"
"Ye Tian, stop mocking me. Do you think I can't see what's going on? Tell me immediately—what happened just now? Why did I feel so terrible?"
Ye Tian chuckled. He felt that the Jade Emperor deserved this lesson—after all, his impatience had led to this outcome.
"When we first obtained the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, both Hou Yi and I tried to use it. The result was the same—every time we attempted to draw the bow, we experienced dizziness. So this is normal. Your body is probably fine."
"If you knew this beforehand, why didn't you say so earlier?"
The Jade Emperor now seemed to be accusing Ye Tian. However, Ye Tian remained unfazed and replied, "I would have said it earlier, but did you give me the chance? Besides, Jade Emperor, surely you wouldn't lose your temper over such a trivial matter, would you?"
The Jade Emperor was indeed in a foul mood. Not only had he failed to draw the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, but he had also been mocked by Ye Tian. If he were to act out now, it would have already happened.
However, thinking about the people of the mortal world, he knew that this was not the time to act rashly.
"Forget it. I won't argue with you. Ye Tian, tell me—how exactly can this Sun-Shooting Divine Bow be drawn?"
"Jade Emperor, if I knew how to draw it, why would I be asking you? If even you can't figure it out, how could I possibly know?"
The Jade Emperor rubbed his forehead. Ye Tian had thoroughly confused him. He needed to focus on finding a solution. He then turned to Erlang Shen. "Yang Jian, I brought you here to give you an opportunity. Try drawing this Sun-Shooting Divine Bow."
Erlang Shen thought to himself, It's just a bow. How could I, the Celestial War God, fail to control it?
Taking the bow in hand, Ye Tian warned him, "Be careful. The Jade Emperor nearly threw out his back just now. If you're not cautious, you might not even be able to hold onto it." Thıs content belongs to N0veI.Fiɾe.net
"Nonsense, Ye Tian. Just because your strength surpasses mine, don't assume you're better in every way. I've already observed that controlling the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow isn't just about strength—it requires immense mental power. Without it, attempting to wield the bow results in dizziness. But my mental power is formidable!"
"Oh? Talking big won't do you any good. If you're really capable, prove it!"
"Trying to provoke me? Hoping to disrupt my concentration? Not that easy."
Erlang Shen steadied his mind and began drawing the bowstring.
Ye Tian considered Erlang Shen's words. If controlling the bow truly required strong mental power, then that might be the key.
Erlang Shen exerted his strength to pull the bow. However, as soon as he started, an invisible force seemed to strike him. His entire body stiffened before instantly going limp. His mental power was shattered in an instant.
He had thought he could at least hold out for a while, but he was completely drained of energy in an instant. He hadn't expected such an outcome—this was far too strange.
He collapsed to the ground, completely devoid of strength. Unlike the Jade Emperor, who had been caught, Erlang Shen fell straight onto the floor.
"Well, well. You talked so highly of yourself, but it turns out you're no better."
Ye Tian picked up the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and turned to Nezha. "Now it's your turn. Do you want to give it a shot?"
"What's wrong? Are you afraid? If you don't dare to try, I'll really start looking down on you."
"Who said I wouldn't try? Let me do it!"
Nezha was now thoroughly provoked. If there was one thing he hated, it was being told he wouldn't dare to do something. At this moment, he wanted to test himself.
Nezha took hold of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and exerted his strength. The bow actually showed signs of being drawn.
But just as he was about to succeed, his entire body was suddenly drained of strength. He collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily. He had no idea what had just happened.
It was as if his body had been stripped of control.
"Why is this happening? It felt like I went through countless cycles of reincarnation, like I was falling into an endless abyss. Why does this bow cause such an effect?"
Nezha was bewildered. It felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell. The experience was truly unbearable.
