Chapter 53 Chapter 53 "You will be the supervisor this time."...

All his efforts were in vain, and he was completely hurt by Fuxu's ruthless words, so Jiu Zhao didn't want to worry about it anymore.

She returned to Changxi Palace and buried herself in her case all night.

At daybreak, he wrote a memorial and submitted it to the Divine Emperor, stating that he wanted to end the ties with Fuxu.

The Ziwei Palace, located at the highest point of the Three Pure Ones Heavens, controls the four directions and has its own immortal office to monitor all affairs on its behalf.

During this period, the God Emperor often heard rumors of discord between the two.

But the moment Dan Xun presented the divorce petition to the stage, the God Emperor realized that he had underestimated the seriousness of the matter - if Jiu Zhao had simply made a scene, or even had a fierce fight with Fu Xu, their relationship might have been salvaged.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

Seeing his daughter submitting the request in such a formal and official manner, the God Emperor knew that his daughter was determined to make this decision.

After reading the few words that did not explain the reason for the separation twice from beginning to end, the Divine Emperor put down the memorial and pinched his brow wearily.

He ordered the female official Dan Deng to bring Jiu Zhao to Ziwei Palace. Seeing that Jiu Zhao was not as energetic and energetic as usual while paying respects to His Highness, he immediately snuggled up to him like a bird returning to its nest. He couldn't help but sigh silently, "Zhao'er, what exactly happened between you and Fu Xu that necessitated separation? Your father is here today. Why don't you summon Fu Xu so that you can have a face-to-face discussion with him?"

Jiu Zhao's face was bare, and her dress was the shadow white of the moonlight sinking into the bottom of the pool, which made her eyes look even colder and more indifferent.

Hearing the God Emperor's question, her thoughts instinctively resisted for a moment, then began to ripple vaguely.

Call Fuxu to explain clearly——

They have run out of things to say to each other, what is there to say?

It is said that Fuxu, as the king's husband, does not mind her future marriages to various tribes, and even persuades her to immediately marry Yingluo into Lihentian in order to gain the support of Xihai. However, she refuses to assume the responsibility of the crown prince. In order to pursue petty love, does she have to force him to agree to change his original idea?

In the valley of the northern border, the ridicule from the young man echoed repeatedly in the ears.

Amidst the dull ache spreading through her heart once again, Jiu Zhao pondered numbly: The Father God's loyalty to only marrying one person is a two-way journey with the Mother Goddess. What's the point of her own impulsive behavior? Fuxu was generous enough to allow her to take a concubine. If the root cause of this conflict were to be known, everyone would think Fuxu was tactful and understanding, and she was taking advantage of him and then accusing him of not loving her enough, which was hypocritical no matter how you looked at it.

...Perhaps, even Father God would not understand why she was disappointed if she said it out loud.

Jiu Zhao had already made the conclusion of sentencing someone to death in his mind, and he had no desire to confide in anyone.

Her eyes were empty, her tone flat, "My daughter had already sent someone to deliver the severance agreement to the Pimeng Palace at the same time she submitted the memorial. Now, an hour has passed, and Fuxu hasn't taken any action. Father God, do you think there's any need to salvage the relationship between my daughter and him?"

For a relationship to last, there must be at least one person willing to give.

Jiu Zhao wanted to break the contract, but Fu Xu's attitude was ambiguous and he did not try to persuade her to stay.

This situation caused the God Emperor to fall silent.

An unspeakable deathly silence quickly froze the air within Ziwei Palace. Jiu Zhao paused, then reminded her, "Father God promised me that as long as I could help Fuxu recover from his injuries, the day he regained his divine realm would be the day I could decide for myself whether to leave."

Everyone can see how Fuxu is doing now.

Jiu Zhao fulfilled his original promise and repaid Fu Xu for his help five hundred years ago.

The relationship was over, and it seemed that nothing else could make her willing to maintain the name of husband and wife.

The God Emperor heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.

No one understood his daughter better than he did - even if he risked revealing the secret and told Jiu Zhao that Fuxu was the best candidate for the emperor's wife after spending his life to deduce, she would probably only give up half of her life to repay her father, rather than try again with Fuxu.

That's all.

If you want this matter to have a proper outcome, you can't be impatient.

The God Emperor pondered, thoughts running rapidly in his mind.

In a moment, he thought of a place that could divert Jiu Zhao's attention. "If you insist on separation, I have no objection. However, Fuxu's severance agreement hasn't been signed yet. To avoid any setbacks, you must give him some time. It just so happens that the steps that Yun Sheng used to ascend to the Three Pure Heavens have been cracked due to years of disrepair. I've sent four Golden Immortals down to the mortal world to repair them, and you will be the supervisor of this repair."

"I?"

The scope of the topic was so wide that Jiu Zhao's expression went blank for a moment.

"Going to supervise the work would give you a job and experience, and you wouldn't have to see Fuxu again for a while. Wouldn't Zhao'er be willing to do that?"

This position arranged by the Divine Emperor ran counter to Jiu Zhao's original idea.

But now that things have gotten like this, it would be very embarrassing for her to continue to join the military and become Fuxu's subordinate.

It wouldn't take too long to repair the Stairs to Heaven anyway, and the supervisor's position was only temporary. Perhaps as time went by and her love and resentment towards Fuxu gradually faded, it would be a good time for her to enter the Divine Army Office and display her talents and ambitions.

…

Jiu Zhao agreed.

The four immortals who were in charge of repairing the stairway to heaven have been ordered to do so for more than half a month, and it is time for them to take up their posts.

She returned to Changxi Palace and immediately ordered people to pack their luggage.

As the supervisor of the work in the lower realms, Jiu Zhao, for the sake of peace of mind, was unable to return to Sanqing Heaven until the stairway to heaven was repaired. She devised a plan, having the calm Xiangbi remain in Lihen Heaven to oversee all matters during her absence, while Jiangyu and Zhu Ying returned to the lower realms.

This incident happened in a hurry. Considering the severance certificate that Jiu Zhao had sent to Pimeng Palace early in the morning, even though everyone was worried about her, no one dared to ask too much.

Soon, all the necessities for daily life were packed up by the maids and put into the storage ring.

At the same time, Jiu Zhao, who was sitting in front of the long desk, also completed the last stroke on the paper.

She stood up, folded the paper, stamped it with the divine seal, and handed it to Xiangbi: "After I leave, you will deliver this to the Pimeng Palace."

Xiangbi agreed solemnly.

Jiu Zhao said nothing more.

She left the chamber and slowly made her way forward, joined by Zhu Ying and Jiang Yu. Before departing with the Immortal Lord Duyin, who oversaw the entrances and exits between the two realms, she paused one last time, looking back at the realm that had accompanied her for over thirty thousand years.

I hope that when she returns, she can truly let go of Fu Xu.

…

Although the Heavenly Stairs are very important as the channel for all things to ascend to become immortals, in the final analysis, the work of repairing them is very simple. All they need to do is for the four immortals to follow the order and take turns inputting immortal power every day until the cracks disappear.

Therefore, although Jiu Zhao was called the supervisor, he actually just went to the human world to relax.

As for the relationship between the Three Pure Heavens, the Burning Karma Sea, and the Yunsheng World, there is an old story circulating from ancient times.

At the beginning of the world, there was no distinction between immortals and demons.

The Three Pure Heavens and the Burning Karma Sea were both opened up by the ancestor deity, Goddess Qionghuang.

The only difference between the two is that Sanqingtian has beautiful scenery, is home to many immortals, and is more suitable for living.

The Burning Sea is relatively remote, the sky is always foggy, and there are not many immortal spirits.

People always yearn for places with sunshine and rain, and the ancestral gods who created all things often reside in the Three Pure Heavens. Gradually, the Burning Sea fell into abandonment, becoming a place to store the inner demons and obsessions that had to be unsealed because they could not be eliminated.

Goddess Qionghuang gave birth to a child alone.

The descendants fell in love, got married, and had children.

In this way, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to ten thousand.

Everyone has the blood of the ancestral gods flowing in their veins, and their lifespans are as long as the heavens, making them immortal. This has led to the world gradually becoming overcrowded.

They fought over the land they lived on and competed with each other for resources for cultivation.

After millions of years, seeing the beautiful home she created falling apart, the goddess Qionghuang, whose divine power was about to dissipate, could no longer stop it, so she simply stripped away her own immortal bloodline and divided the living people into three. The sinners lived in the sea of ​​burning karma, and those who accumulated virtue had the Three Pure Heavens.

Those who are not good enough in moral character and cultivation will live in the third world opened up in the lower realm - the human world. The trajectory of their destiny is chosen by themselves. They may overcome difficulties and practice hard to ascend, or they may completely degenerate and associate with the inner demons, or they may spend their lives in peace and inaction in the human world.

Finally, to prevent the Three Realms from becoming overcrowded again.

Goddess Qionghuang changed the flow of time again. One day in Yunsheng's world was one year in Sanqing Heaven and Fenye Sea.

It takes dozens or even hundreds of years of practice to achieve results, and during this period a number of low-level immortals will die.

Not to mention the demons who committed evil and fell into the Sea of ​​Burning Karma. Although falling into the demon realm is almost easy compared to cultivating immortals, their lifespan is short, a thousand years at most. Only the top ones with strength comparable to that of the gods can enjoy nearly infinite lifespan.

…

Jiu Zhao came to the mortal world for the first time, led by the Immortal Lord Duyin.

Along the way, he told Jiu Zhao about the general customs and habits of Yunsheng's world.

The Immortal Lord Duyin also told her that the Three Pure Heavens had a base in Yunsheng's world, ostensibly for the purpose of buying and selling all kinds of rare treasures. It was called "Hutian." It was permanently manned by an Earthly Immortal and a Golden Immortal. Besides guiding and settling visitors from the Three Pure Heavens and protecting the fates of immortals who had descended to the mortal world to undergo trials, they also monitored the movements of the demons from the Burning Sea in the human world.

After bringing Jiu Zhao and his group to Hutian Treasure House, Immortal Lord Duyin disappeared on the spot and returned to heaven to report.

Fortunately, there were cultivators in Yunsheng's world, so people around her were not surprised.

“Ahem!”

Jiangyu coughed loudly twice, and soon after, rumbling footsteps could be heard from within the building. Two immortal officials, who had just received the news and were busy cleaning up the house, rushed out, tumbling and crawling. Upon seeing Jiuzhao, they immediately bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Your Highness—"

Thinking of the fact that there was also a human dynasty in Yunsheng's world, and that there were also princes and nobles who were respectfully addressed as Your Highness, Jiu Zhao interrupted to avoid misunderstandings, "What's the 'Highness'? I haven't come to the store to inspect business for a long time. Have you even forgotten the etiquette of calling someone Miss?"

"Ah, yes, yes, miss—"

The immortal officials stationed there, who were like human spirits, readily said, "Lihuo, I greet the young lady."

"Xunze, nice to meet you, Miss."

It's weird to greet each other at the door after all.

After initially informing her of her name, the garrisoned men surrounded Jiu Zhao, one on each side, and diligently led her to the room where she would stay.

"Miss, please take a look at the layout of the rooms on the third floor. Do you like it?"

"If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell us and we will replace it for you immediately!"

Pushed to the back, Jiangyu and Zhu Ying exchanged glances, curling their lips as they stared resentfully at the exceptionally enthusiastic female Golden Immortal and male Earthly Immortal who had replaced them, silently cursing them as "sycophants."

From then on, the entire third floor of Hutian Zhenbaozhai will be her residence in Yunsheng world.

After a quick glance, Jiu Zhao felt that it was barely acceptable.

She took out the luggage from the storage ring and asked Zhu Ying and Jiang Yu to start packing.

He then went to the teahouse to meet guests with Lihuo and Xunze.

"Okay, where are the people who repaired the Stairway to Heaven?"

Jiu Zhao said calmly, "I have to hurry down to the mortal realm today, so I won't bother with it. Otherwise, they should have been waiting for me in advance."

Li Huo quickly apologized, then smiled and said ingratiatingly: "Miss, wait a moment, would you like a cup of tea first? They will be here soon."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door which was originally empty, asking to see someone.
