This disaster was far more serious than expected.

The punishment from the gods was already very severe, and because Li Ping'an took the lead in helping the people, the gods who brought down the punishment became even more severe.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan also participated in the disaster relief, and they didn't understand why the people of this continent had to suffer such severe punishment from heaven.

Although Ping An led the cultivators and the dragon clan to continuously draw water from other dimensions, the amount of water required was very large due to the large area.

Although there are dozens of dragons in the dragon clan that can bring rain, the rain-making ability of young dragons is much weaker than that of adult dragons.

What made the disaster worse was not only the drought, but also the sharp rise in temperature, which caused the evaporation of water on the surface to increase exponentially. The rain that the dragons had worked so hard to bring down was quickly evaporated.

Li Ping'an discussed this with his father, the emperor and his mother, and they all agreed that this was the God increasing the severity of the punishment.

Without their intervention, would there have been such severe drought and high temperatures?

If it was because they participated in this matter and obstructed the punishment from heaven on earth, then wouldn't their actions be in vain and instead bring even greater disaster to the people?

Li Pingan said to his father, the emperor and his mother, “Although the gods cannot stop us from doing good deeds, they can bring greater punishment to the people.

If our good deeds bring greater disasters to the people, should we go to heaven and ask the gods for mercy?"

Li Pingan was once a demon god. Although he was the ruler of the demon world, in front of the gods of heaven, he was still a big demon who was looked down upon by many gods.

Every time a punishment from heaven came to the demon world, the demon gods would try their best to plead with the gods who brought down the punishment.

Although the Demon God usually disciplines the creatures in the Demon Realm strictly, he cannot bear to see them being punished by the gods and having their thousands of years of cultivation destroyed in an instant.

Therefore, as a god in the demon world in his previous life, Li Ping'an often begged for mercy from the gods in a humble manner.

Xiao Yunyan said to the father and son, "There is nothing wrong with what we did. There is nothing wrong with the gods coming down from the sky to beat us.

However, we cannot expect the gods to increase the severity of our punishment just because we have done good things and helped the people overcome difficulties.

We are going to the Heaven, but definitely not to beg for mercy. Instead, we want to ask the Emperor of Heaven and the gods to administer justice and act as witnesses.

Prove whether our work of disaster relief and assistance to disaster victims is right or wrong?

If it is right, then the punishment from heaven will not be increased just because we do good things.

If we are wrong, we will never do good deeds again.

It is futile and may even bring longer-lasting disaster and more serious harm to the people. There is no point in us doing these things.

Even if we can get some merit points, it is really meaningless to those people, and may even cause greater harm.

However, our good deeds have become a show to gain merit for ourselves.

We absolutely do not engage in this kind of fake charity.”

Ping An understood that his mother wanted to go to the Heavenly Palace to file a complaint and seek an explanation.

Li Pingan nodded, his eyes firm: "Mother is right, we will go to heaven now."

So, the family of three went straight to heaven.

When they arrived at the Heavenly Palace, Xiao Yunyan, Li Mohan and Li Ping'an knelt before the Emperor of Heaven and told him everything about the disaster and how their efforts to rescue them had brought even more severe punishment from heaven.

After listening to this, the Emperor of Heaven frowned and looked at the gods around him.

One of the gods stood up and snorted, "The punishment from heaven has been set, how can mortals destroy it at will? If they rescue the disaster without authorization, they are disturbing the rules of heaven.

Since they saved the people who deserved the disaster, we must bring more disasters to punish these people who deserved the disaster."

Xiao Yunyan was not afraid at all and retorted: "We rescue people from disasters in order to save the people. If the punishment from heaven is increased, wouldn't it make the people suffer innocently? How can this heavenly rule be fair?"

The Emperor of Heaven pondered for a moment and said, "This matter needs to be considered in the long run." He ordered to suspend the punishment from Heaven and sent messengers to the disaster-stricken areas to investigate the truth. Li Ping'an and his family of three waited for the result in Heaven, hoping that justice could be done to the people and that this disaster could end soon.
