Chapter 683 The Intruder
It is no secret that the Eight Desolate Universe devours other universes. The two saintly universes have not tried to stop it. Forces like the Dragon Clan have nothing to say either. They cannot afford to offend them. After all, they cannot even find where the Eight Desolate Universe is. So in Ao Zhen's eyes, the Eight Desolate Universe is magical and desirable.
In addition, the Heavenly Court no longer prohibits the spread of news, and Ao Zhen also learned about the establishment of a star field under the Heavenly Court through Zhao Qinghe. The guardian of a star field has great luck, and this benefit alone makes Ao Zhen drool with envy, not to mention that Ao Zhen also has the opportunity to become the guardian of the True Dragon Star Field.
If he hadn't lacked courage, Ao Zhen would have most likely joined Ao Yi. It didn't matter which Saint Universe he joined, as long as his own interests and future interests could be guaranteed. What particularly moved him was the promotion of the Universe, but who could be sure of such a thing? The promotion of the Universe was too empty, and he instinctively didn't believe it.
Soon, new orders came from the Dragon's Nest.
Since Aoyi wants to expand in Heaven and does not want to betray Heaven and tell the relevant secrets, Longchao will not force him, but the relationship between Aoyi and Longchao will end here. Unless Aoyi returns to Longchao one day, Aoyi will now be a wild dragon.
Ao Zhen curled his lips and didn't care.
Now that Uncle Aoyi has awakened his memory, he knows all his previous skills and supernatural powers clearly. It is a foregone conclusion that he will cultivate to the Taiyi realm. Whether he returns to Dragon Nest or not depends only on the resources and power of Dragon Nest. But since he has a position in Heaven, Aoyi does not need to care about Dragon Nest's attitude at all.
Fifty-one thousand years had passed in the Eight Desolate Calendar, and a new small court meeting was held.
The emperor and empress were in high spirits and smiling, mainly because the Heavenly Palace had undergone relatively big changes in the past thousand years.
First, the number of star fields exceeded 181, and Daluo Jinxian and Taiyi Jinxian became garrison commanders.
Second, the increase in the number of star fields has brought about a surge in the number of immortals, which has reached one trillion so far, among which true immortals and celestial immortals account for the vast majority.
Third, there are many precious resources that are regenerated in the star fields. Under the invisible nourishment of the innate energy of the Eight Desolate Universe, all the major star fields are rejuvenated.
Fifth, the Heavenly Court and the military re-established the military framework, with the heavenly soldiers and generals as the first sequence, the star guards as the second sequence, and the star god’s personal army as the third sequence.
Sixth, the military has set up an additional warship department. Currently, the number of large warships officially owned by Heaven has exceeded one billion.
These are just the relatively big changes. In fact, after the establishment of the star field, the entire Eight Desolate Universe has been changing with each passing day. The huge number of immortals is insignificant in front of the even larger star field. Especially after a large amount of resources have been regenerated, the Heavenly Court has strengthened management and made reasonable use of resources, which is enough to meet the needs of the immortals.
Despite this, rewards and punishments were given in turn according to the procedure at the small court meeting. Many people were rewarded this time, mainly those who had made contributions to the Heavenly Court and gained merits. It is worth mentioning that most of those who were specifically rewarded this time were meritorious Yin gods in the place of reincarnation.
In the merit book of the underworld of reincarnation, being specifically praised and commended by the Heavenly Court is also a kind of qualification, and it will even be recorded and become one of the conditions for future promotion. In fact, within the Heavenly Court, there are similar conditions for the promotion of immortal officials, but they are not as open and transparent as those in the underworld.
It is worth mentioning that the number of people punished has dropped sharply. Since the fifth grand court meeting, the emperor and empress took rare action and even small problems were criticized by name. The immortals have learned their lesson. Even those immortals who came with the universe's asylum knew about this matter through Skynet.
They had just arrived and were most sensitive to the Heavenly Rules. They were extremely cautious and absolutely did not want to violate them. That was why only tens of thousands of immortals were named this year, which was the lowest number since so many small court meetings. The Emperor and Empress were also in a rare good mood. After all, these immortals who were named and punished were not those who had committed heinous crimes.
In today's Heaven, not everyone is a true moral immortal, but at least they can restrain themselves, will not take people's lives wantonly, and will not deliberately violate the Heavenly Laws. Only such immortals are what Heaven needs. Immortals who really can't tolerate it can leave the Eight Desolate Universe. Heaven has already lifted the restrictions after the end of the grand court meeting.
The Heavenly Court allows immortals to leave the universe through the Skynet and go anywhere without any questions. The key is not to disclose the secrets of the Heavenly Court and not to become traitors, otherwise the Skynet will explode directly, and people will disappear into thin air without even the chance of reincarnation.
After the small court meeting ended, the emperor and empress called a few people over.
She first looked at King Yan Luo, "How is the expansion of the Samsara Underworld in the Universe Domain going? I heard that it's in trouble?"
"It was going smoothly at the beginning. No one disturbed Yueshan Alliance, Tianzun Fort, and Huantian Palace," Yan Luo Tianzi said solemnly, "but when the situation spread from Huantian Palace to the surrounding areas, we found that there were many demonic spirits and evil spirits gathering. They seemed to have been hiding in the sphere of influence of Huantian Palace."
Demon souls are the result of the residual souls of some demons devouring each other after their death. They are extremely domineering and evil, and have the power to devour souls and take away spirits. Not only are they very difficult to deal with, but for immortals, it is even easy for them to be possessed by others if they do not have magical powers and immortal treasures to protect them.
A ghost is a wandering soul in the universe. It is difficult to kill it after experiencing many spatial forces and chaotic forces. Such an existence itself is not dangerous, but it has no intelligence and can easily cause a soul explosion on you. Even immortals cannot bear it because it is an attack on the soul and the spirit.
Evil and unorthodox cults generally refer to beings who practice magic techniques and master magic and evil powers. If their true form is human, they are called human-demon; if their true form is a demon, they are called demon-demon. The key is that if they are neither human nor demon, then they are evil creatures. They are not only contagious, but also have many other means of mental pollution and soul infection.
Even fairy treasures can be polluted, thus damaging their intelligence and greatly reducing their power. This kind of evil demons are even more inferior to the cosmic demons. In particular, some cosmic demons even eat the evil demons as food. However, the number of evil demons is large, and the cosmic demons are difficult to encounter in the universe.
"Have you investigated it clearly?" asked the Immortal Master Hongluan curiously.
"There are Daluo Jinxian who cultivate evil demons and collect many demon souls and blood. We found traces of cultivating demons in Huantian Palace," said Yan Luo Tianzi. "Not only that, many demons have deformed, and there are places where no grass grows. Some demon tribes have been wiped out."
"Bastard!" Tu Ruoyan was furious, and the majesty of the Golden Immortal instantly covered the entire place.
"Calm down." Ji Shuanghua said.
"How can I stay calm?" Tu Ruoyan said coldly, "We must find out who is behind this."
"I'm afraid they are gone." King Yan Luo said helplessly, "Based on our investigation and searching the souls of those evil demons, we found many signs that the Golden Immortal behind the scenes should have disappeared long ago. They are just a remnant, and they gathered together based on the legacy of the past. They used the demon souls and ghost souls to sacrifice and refine the Ten Thousand Demons Netherworld Banner, so as to hunt down the demons and strengthen the side door immortal treasure. This also prevented us from successfully opening up the reincarnation underworld, so we had to take action."
Although the Heavenly Court seems to be busy accommodating the universe and establishing star fields, in fact, the layout of the universe has never been interrupted. It just changed a method. It did not send out an expeditionary force, but let King Yama bring the Yin soldiers to open up the reincarnation underworld. With the reincarnation underworld, there is a ground network, which can control the universe together with the Skynet.
However, he did not expect that after taking down the three top cosmic forces, he would encounter new enemies when opening up a new reincarnation universe. This made King Yama very helpless. He thought they were just ants that he could easily crush to death, but who knew that they would block the reincarnation underworld for so long.
"Since there is no one behind the scenes, let Concubine Tu go," the Empress immediately decided, "Immortal Supreme Ji Evil should also go and make sure to clean up the mess."
"I'm fine." Tu Ruoyan nodded and was about to vent her anger.
There was naturally no problem for the Immortal Lord Ji Evil. He was even looking forward to it. After all, he was only one step away from becoming a Golden Immortal. As long as he could devour the evil demons or transform into a demon fairy, perhaps he would be able to see a new path. Even if there were no such benefits, he still wanted to relax.
Since the completion of the Demon Star Domain, the space for activities is indeed larger than the demon world, but he has lost control over the demon world. In comparison, the star domain is not as good as the demon world for him, but there is no way. It has become a foregone conclusion and there is no way to change it.
Fortunately, his army of demon fairies felt very comfortable in the Demon Star Domain, and their cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort. Most importantly, the demons could also travel from the Demon Star Domain to other star domains to hunt. Except for Taiyi and Daluo, the rest of the fairies would be harassed by the demons, with the exception of some special star domains. For example, there were no demons in the star domain where the Daluo Golden Immortal was stationed.
In this way, the extremely evil Daluo became the target of everyone's despair, because he was the king of demons and came from the Demon Star Domain.
Without further ado, Tu Ruoyan and Ji'e Daluo teleported away, and King Yama followed.
The only four people left in the Jade Emperor Palace were Immortal Master Mo Hen, Immortal Master Hong Luan, Ji Shuanghua and the Emperor and Empress.
"The expansion of the underworld of reincarnation is another side of heaven. I wonder what you think?" asked the emperor and empress.
"Are the Empress afraid that the Samsara Underworld will get out of control?" Hongluan Immortal Venerable said, "Since the Samsara Emperor passed away, the Samsara Underworld has indeed lost supervision. It is indeed not appropriate to have only King Yama. I can leave a few clones, but I am afraid the effect will not be great."
"My clone can also do it," Immortal Master Mohen said, "It can be used to sit in the reincarnation underworld in the star field. It can also help us realize the reincarnation."
"My clone can do the same," Ji Shuanghua said with a smile, "The way of enlightenment can appear anywhere."
They are all Daluo Jinxian, and the emperor and empress understood the problem as soon as they opened their mouths. How big is the Heaven? How big is the underworld? In the past, there was the emperor's clone, but now there is only one Daluo Jinxian, King Yama. The power of the lord of the underworld is becoming more and more important, which is very inappropriate.
It is very necessary to restrain King Yama and build a more appropriate system to manage the Samsara Underworld. In fact, the emperor and empress had this idea before or a long time ago, but they were powerless. King Yama became the chosen one by heaven, and the emperor and empress were not afraid of him becoming too powerful, but they were afraid of the Samsara Underworld getting out of control.
When the girls heard what was meant, they immediately thought of intervening.
The emperor and empress smiled but did not agree. Instead, they started discussing the matter with everyone.
Eventually, thirty-six Dharma Kings of the Underworld were established under the command of King Yama. All of them were served by Daluo Jinxian or his clones. Each Dharma King had seventy-two departments under his command. All that was needed was to assign the many powers of the underworld of reincarnation to those seventy-two departments. The person in charge of these seventy-two departments had to be a Taiyi-level Yin God.
There are tentatively thirty-six Dharma Kings, each of whom manages the reincarnation underworld of ten star regions. In addition to the clones of the Golden Immortals in the Jade Emperor's Palace, there are also the Emperor and Empress's Daluo Taoist soldiers. In addition, there are also the Taoist Lords once established by the Heavenly Court, and they will all become reserve Dharma Kings.
From top to bottom, a complete system was established to share the power of King Yama and prevent him from having the final say. This was the method used by the emperor and empress. In fact, this situation was also very normal, because establishing nine great Dao masters to supervise the reincarnation underworld was a way from the very beginning, but it just didn't work very well.
Now that the Golden Immortal has joined, there will naturally be no problem.
So, when Emperor Yama returned to the Eight Desolate Universe, the Emperor and Empress handed over the perfect system to him to be personally responsible for reforming. Emperor Yama looked normal, but he was relieved in his heart. He was not stupid. He knew what the Emperor and Empress meant, and he also understood that his position was very sensitive.
If the empress did not do this, he would have to face the emperor in the future, so King Yama not only did not oppose it, but instead promoted the reform faithfully. Starting from the 51,070th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, he continuously promoted the changes in the Samsara Underworld, and many Daluo Jinxian also cooperated and let their clones enter it.
Luofu Sect.
Since moving to the Qingmei Star Region, the Luofu Sect has been on the fast track of development. After cooperating with the Qianyu Immortal Sect, it has made a fortune. Now the Luofu Sect occupies several star systems, and the sect is extremely majestic, and is not inferior to the Luotian Immortal Sect.
"Queen of Heaven, can we participate in the reincarnation into the underworld?" Jiang Lin brought two veteran immortals to see Immortal Mei.
"If you want to die, then try to participate as much as possible," said the clone left by Mei Xianren calmly, "I know that news spreads quickly and can prove that these are all true, but the emperor and empress only allow Daluo Jinxian to participate. We have no chance, and even if we are Daluo Jinxian, we are just supervisors."
"What a pity." Jiang Lin sighed. The reincarnation underworld has always been a place they wanted to get involved in.
"There is nothing to regret. I can tell you with certainty that if you interfere with the Samsara Underworld, then when the Emperor wakes up, the Luofu Sect will be gone." Mei Xianren's clone said calmly, "You should use your brains more. The Samsara Underworld was opened up by the Emperor himself. Do you understand?"
"Then why did the Emperor and Empress take action?" asked a veteran immortal with a puzzled look on his face.
"The Empress is afraid that the underworld of reincarnation will become too powerful to be eliminated, and she is also afraid that King Yama will face the Emperor directly," Mei Xianren explained. "If King Yama wants to go one step further, he must unify heaven and earth and become the master of heaven. Do you understand what I mean?"
Jiang Lin and others fell silent for a moment.
