Only about four months after Fang Jian returned to Heaven from the Queen Mother's Palace, he received no less than hundreds of reports about evil gods from the Central Juntian.

The Heavenly Court also sent out heavenly soldiers and generals to fight everywhere, and Fang Jian spread the three key points of dealing with the evil gods mentioned by Nuwa to the three realms through the Heavenly Court's decree.

But it's difficult to detect evil gods when living beings secretly worship them. It's impossible for the Heavenly Court to search every household for evil gods, right? This behavior is not only unreliable, but also impossible to do.

So during this month, Fang Jian was studying how to deal with the evil gods in the current situation. Ever since he met Taishang Laojun and Nuwa, Fang Jian understood that it was inevitable that the evil gods would run rampant in the three realms of the world.

In the courtyard, Yu Luan looked at Fang Jian, who was frowning, and asked while making tea, "Can I make some suggestions?"

Fang Jian came back to his senses and looked at Yu Luan, then smiled and said, "Of course."

Yu Luan placed the teacup in front of Fang Jian and said, "Now, the affairs of the Heavenly Court are managed by the Four Emperors of Lingxiao. The Divine Thunder Jade Palace is responsible for the administration of the Heavenly Court and the affairs of the immortal officials. The Divine Thunder Jade Palace is responsible for the disasters and blessings of the heavens, the balance of power, the control of things and people, the heavenly punishments, and the management of life and death. The Lingshu Jade Palace and the Tianshu Capital Province are responsible for all matters related to conquests and suppression, and the heavenly soldiers and generals. Is that correct?"

"Yes." Fang Jian nodded.

Yu Luan smiled and said, "That's very obvious. In fact, the specific affairs of the Heavenly Court are already in the hands of the other three emperors. You are the leader of the Four Emperors of Lingxiao, in charge of the 'general affairs' of the Heavenly Court. To put it bluntly, although you have great power now, you are actually very idle. The three emperors and those below have clear responsibilities and powers, so there is no need for you to be personally involved in everything."

Fang Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he reacted and said after a moment of silence: "You are right, some people have already said that I have overstepped my authority."

"So," Yu Luan said, "this matter of the evil god must be presided over by you personally. Firstly, none of the Four Emperors of Lingxiao has a Daluo Jinxian, and you are the only one with the strength of a Daluo Jinxian. Secondly, you are personally responsible for clearing out the Chaos Evil God, which allows you to better mobilize the power of the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms, which is an advantage that others do not have."

Yu Luan then continued, "Of course, there's another major advantage to this, which is that if you try to bypass your authority and give it to someone below you, they won't be able to say anything."

Fang Jian's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was the problem he was facing. Although he had great power now, if he really wanted to take charge of everything, the people below would definitely be dissatisfied.

First of all, you, the Heavenly Court, appointed me to this position, and you, Emperor Hongqing, still go beyond your authority and micromanage things every day. Why don’t you remove me and take this position yourself?

Let alone those lesser gods and immortals, even an emperor like the Emperor of Fengdu would be dissatisfied. You, the Emperor Hongqing, always overstep your authority. Isn't I, the Emperor of Fengdu, just a decoration? Or do you simply not take me seriously?

Of course we will comply with the reforms in Heaven. If you, Emperor Hongqing, issue an edict, we will definitely obey the order to reform, but the specific matters will always be handled by us, right?

"And..." Yu Luan glanced at Fang Jian, hesitated for a moment, and said, "With your current position, it's really not convenient and appropriate to bypass the higher-level jurisdiction."

When Fang Jian heard Yu Luan say the same thing, he immediately said, "I'm just worried. You know what's most important to me."

"Heavenly Law." Yu Luan said with a smile, "Heavenly Law is the most important thing to you. I know that."

"But," Yu Luan changed the subject, "you might as well think carefully about how the Great Emperor Juntian governed Taixuan Province back then? Did the Great Emperor Juntian interfere with your actions back then?"

Fang Jian was startled again when he heard this, then after thinking carefully, he shook his head and said, "No."

Yu Luan nodded and smiled. "So, although you are the leader of the Four Emperors of Lingxiao, you haven't found your place yet. In your current position, you are no longer responsible for specific matters, but for the overall situation. The land god looks after his own territory, the mountain god looks after his own mountain range, the water god looks after his own rivers, and the Fengdu Emperor naturally looks after the underworld. So what about you? Fang Jian, where should you look?"

Fang Jian picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he raised his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Three Realms."

Now Fang Jian understood why Nuwa said that he did not understand "Tao follows nature". "Tao follows nature" is not just about Tao, nor is it just about law, and it is certainly not the "Tao law" of cultivation.

'Tao follows nature' is the natural law and rules by which all things operate under the Way of Heaven!

It was at this moment that Fang Jian finally had his epiphany. He suddenly realized that he had been focusing on the "Heavenly Law" itself, and had overlooked the fact that Heaven was not a dynasty on earth, but a superpower that ruled the three realms.

What is Heavenly Law? Is it a law imposed by humans? No, Heavenly Law should also follow the principle of "Tao follows nature."

All living beings are subject to birth, old age, sickness and death, and misfortunes and blessings occur at any time. This is the law of nature, the law of heaven. If anyone reverses this law, he is violating the law of heaven.

What about the immortals? What are the natural laws and celestial laws that govern the immortals?

At this moment, Fang Jian deeply felt that there were still huge shortcomings in his realm, so much so that for the first time he felt that his virtue was not worthy of his position.

In the past, Fang Jian was very arrogant. He believed that he had the strength and ability to serve as the leader of the Four Emperors of Lingxiao. However, now Fang Jian felt that he might not even be qualified to serve as the 'Emperor'.

Is Fengdu Emperor's realm lower than his? It's definitely impossible. Among these emperors who have followed the Jade Emperor from billions of years ago to the present day, which one is an ordinary person?
