Chapter 24 It’s reasonable for me, with white hair and white eyes, to become an immortal, right?
Soon, those who had witnessed the immortal perform miracles reacted and quickly knelt down and kowtowed excitedly, "Thank you, immortal, thank you, immortal."
Others reacted and knelt down as well.
The shadow of the immortal in the sky looked down at all the people on the ground, his expression was majestic and full of divinity, his tone was compassionate, and his voice was clear and spread to every corner.
"The chaos in the world was caused by a mortal. The people can no longer live and work in peace. The lifeline of the country is damaged. The king of evil monsters breaks through the seal and orders evil monsters all over the world to start a cholera dynasty. The world will surely be devastated."
Everyone had just escaped death, and before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they were stunned by the immortal's words. Does this mean... there will be more evil monsters trying to break free from the seal next?
The people were filled with fear and hatred, and their teeth could not help chattering.
Even though the immortal did not mention the man's name, everyone thought of the Regent first.
The immortal seemed to sigh softly, and his shadow gradually dissipated.
"Immortal——"
The people in various towns began to panic, but the next second, a curtain of light suddenly appeared above them. The people looked at it in panic, with expressions of shock and confusion.
That is... the capital?
The image on the light screen was large and clear, enough for everyone to see the huge and ferocious evil demon above, and the immortal riding the clouds opposite, with white hair and white clothes, with an extraordinary temperament but also a hint of coldness.
The next moment, the immortal stretched out his hand and said in a faint voice: "Suppress——"
The evil demon on the opposite side was unable to move in an instant, struggling with its claws, and roared ferociously: "You can't kill me!"
The immortal had an indifferent expression and did not take the evil monster seriously at all.
This scene put the people's minds at ease. Only then did they begin to observe the imperial city buildings below the light curtain, as well as the people kneeling on the ground around them.
Someone with sharp eyes suddenly noticed a yellow shadow on the imperial city gate.
"Is that the Regent or the current emperor?!"
The people stared at him with wide eyes. The man had a cold and steady temperament, and his face was pale as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, but his eyes and brows revealed wisdom and gentleness.
He was different from the regent who was rumored to be tall and sinister.
Even though they knew that the emperor would be unable to deal with any evil spirits even after waking up, all the people were still surprised from the bottom of their hearts.
"It's His Majesty, his illness has recovered!"
"It must be the immortal who saved His Majesty." The person who said this could not help but put his hands together and kneeled down to the light curtain in pious gratitude. He caught a glimpse of the evil demon in the light curtain and suddenly gritted his teeth: "The Regent deserves death--!"
The people's emotions, which had been suppressed for so long, were ignited and exploded at this moment. Originally, they could live an ordinary life, but now they can't even have enough food and clothing, and they have to worry about the evil monsters breaking through the seal.
"That's right, the regent deserves to die, and so do those who rebelled!"
Everyone echoed, and the voices became louder and louder.
Emotions of anger and resentment are all absorbed by the energy ball.
at the same time.
The luck of the Regent is still slowly dissipating.
He knew nothing about this and still yelled at the housekeeper like crazy, "Pack up all your belongings, quickly!"
The Regent no longer wanted to be the emperor. He just wanted to flee the capital with all his belongings overnight, and then make a comeback under a different name.
If others can rebel, then so can he.
However, there were too many things in the palace, and he became more and more uneasy as he waited. He hurried to get out of the car, but for some reason his foot suddenly tripped over something and he fell heavily to the ground.
"ah--"
The Regent screamed, and his sinister and cold face suddenly became distorted. The inexplicable aura that made his subordinates willing to follow him seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Bai Yuan watched this scene through the energy ball, thoughtfully.
He tentatively sent out a stream of cold air.
The Regent screamed again, his back hurt so much that he could hardly stand up. He raised his head and stared at the people around him with vicious anger: "Who did this?!
The servants and confidants were so frightened that they fell to their knees and said, "My Lord, please spare my life."
They didn't even have the courage to refute or explain. The regent in front of them seemed even more terrifying than the evil demon in the distance.
Of course, part of the reason is also because the immortal is still there.
Everyone could see that the arrogant evil demon was very afraid of the immortal, so the crisis was of course resolved. However, the regent in front of them was different, and they could lose their heads at any time.
Bai Yuan's eyes turned cold.
For a person like this, everything he has done is almost enough to make him deserve death a hundred times.
He should be punished more cruelly than those people in Zhaojia Village. Death is too easy for them.
Bai Yuan directly used a beam of energy to roll up the Regent and threw him at the city gate.
With a plop.
The Regent screamed again, and the people's attention was attracted by this person. He was wearing a black python robe and had that signature sinister look in his eyes. Someone hesitated and asked, "Is this - is this the Regent?"
Everyone's eyes changed again. If the immortal had not been above them, they would have rushed up and killed the regent.
Just at this moment.
The immortal above spoke, and his voice still spread throughout the entire dynasty: "I will lead the immortals to use their immortal lives as seals to suppress all evil demons and non-human beings, so as not to affect the operation of the human world."
Although the details were skipped, everyone could understand the tragedy and danger involved, and all the immortals died because of it.
The immortal said calmly: "The evil demon cannot be completely destroyed, it can only be sealed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the immortal conjured up a curtain of light, in which all kinds of evil demons were sealed and suppressed. They raised their heads and roared, and the malice in their eyes was almost solidified.
Everyone who saw this felt a chill in their hearts and a little panicked.
Then, what should we do?
The immortal sighed, "But once war breaks out and the people suffer, the evil will come back again."
The evil demon king laughed in unison, full of malice: "Mortals only know how to fight among themselves, they are greedy and mean, we evil demons can wait for decades, even a hundred years, there will always be a chance to break the seal and come out."
When the people heard this, they couldn't help but grit their teeth and clench their fists.
The Regent's face was pale and his whole body was trembling. He wanted to escape from here, the farther the better, but his body was restrained by an invisible force. He could not speak or move.
Above the city gate, the emperor had a solemn expression.
This is also what he is most worried about.
Within a hundred years, while he is alive, he can make the dynasty prosper, but what about after he dies?
Until then.
As long as there is an emperor who does not do his job well or neglects government affairs, corrupt officials will inevitably run rampant.
Even if there is no rebellion or other war, the seal of a town will be shaken. Once the evil demon wreaks havoc on the world, no one can completely kill it.
The emperor's expression gradually became firm.
Immortals are reluctant to interfere in human affairs, perhaps because they do not want to disrupt human order.
But as an emperor, he must consider the people.
He had to give it a try.
The emperor stepped forward slowly, his voice respectful and a little pleading: "Immortal... could you please supervise the world on my behalf? If any of the officials or I do something wrong and affect the people's peace and happiness, you can punish us from the heavens to prevent the evil spirits from breaking through the seal and causing trouble to the world."
All the people were shocked when they heard this.
Some other officials were shocked by this scene and also bowed: "I am willing too."
Some corrupt officials also looked pale.
They hoped that the immortal would reject the emperor's request, but they also didn't want him to really reject it. If the evil demon really came out, no matter how greedy they were, they would not be able to survive.
One after another, the people knelt down and cried out in sorrow, "Fairy, please grant my consent."
"We would like to."
The immortal was still shrouded in glory. People could only see that the immortal seemed to sigh, "After I sealed the evil demon, I fell until now. Only a trace of my immortal soul was saved by my good friend at a great price. Later, he put me into a mortal and reincarnated me as a human."
Everyone quieted down and listened.
The immortal seemed to be lost in memories, and his tone became gentler and more humane: "I was born with white hair and white eyes, and was considered a disaster. If my parents hadn't risked their lives to protect me, I..."
The immortal paused for a moment, then continued, "My body has long been drowned, and my soul must have been damaged again. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to wake up again."
Everyone in Zhaojia Village listened in a daze as Yuan Ge'er - no, the immortal - spoke in the sky. All their doubts were finally resolved.
The Zhao family members were filled with regret and started to cry bitterly. Then they started to tear each other apart and curse at each other, resenting each other for not taking good care of Yuan Ge'er, which led to their current situation.
Lin Cui Niang and Zhao Ping An stared at the sky without blinking, covering their mouths and shedding tears slowly.
During those years, no matter how hard and tiring their lives were, they gritted their teeth and persevered.
I just hope Brother Yuan can grow up safely.
The immortal said again: "I voluntarily use this person as my country's national teacher, and my spirit will suppress the seals in various places."
The people looked up in disbelief, and the immortal agreed!
Are they completely safe?
When this thought came to mind, the immortal's voice suddenly became serious: "But remember, only when the people everywhere live and work in peace and contentment, my spirit can use the national destiny to suppress the seal and mitigate the impact of natural disasters. You officials must also perform your duties. If the local people have too much negative emotions, my spirit will punish them on behalf of the heaven."
The evil demon was almost tearing his eyes out: "You actually did this for a mortal. If they fail to do as you said, their souls will definitely dissipate completely, and there will be no chance of resurrection. Is it worth it?"
All the people were stunned.
The immortal...has he done this for them?
Lin Cui Niang and Zhao Ping An burst into tears again and rushed out like crazy: "Yuan Ge'er, don't--"
What common people, what mortal world, none of them are as important as Brother Yuan.
If it was just because they protected Yuan Ge'er at all costs that Yuan Ge'er ended up like this.
They would rather die.
The immortal tilted his head slightly and looked at the couple from a distance: "As Brother Yuan, I have experienced many things that I have never experienced before."
The couple were stunned and tears flowed again.
Everyone heard the immortal say solemnly: "It's worth it."
As soon as the words fell, under the gaze of the people from all over the place, the immortal pointed his finger and said: "Seal——"
The complex and intricate sealing pattern reappeared, instantly wrapping up the evil demon and disappearing into the ground little by little.
They could only hear the evil demon roaring unwillingly: "You will regret this. Mortals will definitely break their promise. We will eventually come to the human world again!"
The immortal said calmly: "So what? I have a clear conscience."
One after another, the people knelt down spontaneously, tears streaming down their faces uncontrollably: "Thank you, Immortal."
"Thank you, Immortal. We will never break our promise."
The emperor and all the officials knelt down one after another, expressing their gratitude to the immortal from the bottom of their hearts.
The immortal turned his head and a series of magic spells flew out, taking back the puppets while restoring the buildings and stalls damaged by the evil monsters one by one.
And then.
His figure gradually disappeared.
The light curtains around the world also dissipated.
Lin Cui Niang and Zhao Ping An cried uncontrollably until a voice said helplessly, "Stop crying."
The couple suddenly looked up and saw a child wearing ordinary clothes, with white hair and white eyes standing there. He looked no different from yesterday.
The couple hurried over and held the child in their arms, tears falling again, "Yuan'er, why are you so silly? Daddy and mommy are willing to give everything for you, but you can't do this for daddy and mommy."
Bai Yuan was stunned when he heard this and hugged the couple: "I will grow up well, don't be sad."
Lin Cui Niang wiped away her tears, still unwilling to give up: "Can't you take your soul back?"
Bai Yuan shook his head: "As an immortal, my responsibility is to suppress those evil spirits. You just treat me as the mortal I used to be. So what if my soul disappears?"
The couple forced a smile.
They just care too much about their children, so they lose their minds and say such things.
They knew very well that Brother Yuan was able to lead the immortals to pay the price of death in order to suppress all the evil monsters, so he would still choose to do so now.
The only thing the couple could do was to accompany Yuan Ge'er.
…
The problem of evil spirits has been temporarily solved.
The emperor immediately sent someone to announce the imperial decree in front of the regent, and then stripped off the dragon robe that represented his status as a prince.
Without the protection of rules, Bai Yuan ruthlessly mobilized his energy.
In an instant, thunder struck from the sky.
The Regent screamed immediately, and many small lightning bolts appeared on his skin, making him feel in excruciating pain.
Everyone who saw this was terrified, and became more in awe of the immortal's thunderous methods.
“Heavenly punishment…”
The immortal is kind, but he cannot tolerate any guilty person. This makes everyone remember this scene all the time and dare not do anything wrong.
The emperor ordered the confiscation of property and the closure of the mansion.
The regent thought this was the most horrible thing, but he didn't expect that he would be taken to the mine to dig stones that day. Not only was he whipped by the guards, but he didn't even have enough food to eat.
He was in so much pain that he wanted to commit suicide.
But there were always guards watching him, so he couldn't even die. He could only endure the thunder punishment day and night while mining and starving.
There was endless darkness.
…
Zhaojia Village.
People spontaneously protected the house at the foot of the mountain. From time to time, villagers or outsiders would come to kneel and worship, expressing their gratitude to the immortal for his contribution in saving the world and eliminating demons.
Although the fairy rice cannot be planted again.
But because every household has eaten the magic rice, they have been free from illness and disaster throughout their lives, and they can occasionally even sell some of the magic rice to improve their lives.
No villager is willing to move away from Zhaojia Village and is proud to be a villager of Zhaojia Village.
The emperor's health had almost recovered, and he had bought a lot of immortal rice at a high price to improve his health, allowing him to devote a hundred times more energy to handling government affairs and dealing with the damage caused by the regent and those rebels one by one.
Soon, peace returned to the dynasty.
The emperor held a meeting to appoint a national teacher and spread the news to various regions. While the whole country was celebrating, local officials also found that the official seal of the day suddenly emitted light.
They were surprised to find that they could use the official seal to write a memorial with their thoughts, and then it would be delivered to the emperor in the blink of an eye.
That afternoon, the emperor approved the memorial and returned it. It was much faster than the previous process which took two or three months to complete.
They can handle official business better and execute the orders issued by the emperor better. The only downside is that they have to govern the areas they are responsible for well.
The emperor relayed the immortal's words to all officials through the official seal.
Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment and everything is thriving can the official seal store enough energy to convey information.
That is to say.
If no one submits the memorial in time, the emperor will surely realize that this official is not doing his job well, and then he will send someone to investigate...
That’s not all.
The emperor sent another memorial to tell all officials that if the official was found guilty, divine punishment would come down through the official seal. They would not die, but would suffer from the punishment of thunder and lightning at all times like the regent, and would be in excruciating pain.
It is said that all of this was thought up by the imperial teacher.
The officials felt very complicated.
However, His Majesty felt that the seal was an excellent way of conveying information. He could implement many policies quickly, five years earlier than initially estimated, and his country's governance would flourish.
The people now have enough food and warm clothing.
His Majesty did not dare to disturb the Imperial Master too much, and he responded to all the requests made by the Imperial Master, and treated the immortal's parents with courtesy.
Bai Yuan has absorbed a huge amount of energy in the past few years.
He grew up day by day, and in the blink of an eye he became a young boy. Dressed in a white robe, with white hair and white eyes, he looked like an immortal transformed from ice and snow. No one dared to look at him for too long, for fear of blaspheming this immortal.
Only Lin Cuiniang and Zhao Ping'an remained the same.
No matter how old Yuan Ge'er is, he still treats the other person as a child and cares for him.
The couple lives happily now.
Zhao Xiaomei is now a teenager. She is extremely intelligent. In addition, she is acquainted with an immortal. The emperor made an exception and allowed her to take the imperial examination. She actually passed the exam and became the top scorer as a woman.
Liu Ermei cried with joy.
During this period.
Bai Yuan learned various ancient techniques for increasing production from the system and handed them over to the emperor for implementation.
The emperor was overjoyed when he received these, and he immediately promoted them and emphasized that all of them were gifts from the imperial teacher.
The people began to secretly worship Bai Yuan at home and burn incense day and night.
The emperor didn't care about gender differences from the beginning. With these technologies, he wanted to do something big and issued an order that as long as they could contribute to the country and the dynasty, both men and women would be valued.
Every industry is flourishing.
Even if there were some pedantic people, they would soon be scolded so much that they dared not go out.
Everyone was afraid that the evil spirits would come out, and they were eager to cooperate fully with the emperor in implementing various policies. Soon, women were able to go out to work, and after earning money, they became more confident. The men and mothers-in-law in the family no longer dared to bully and oppress women at will.
The dynasty is getting better and better.
But only the Zhao family, those villagers, and those who have done evil things will have to live in poverty and regret for the rest of their lives under the constant punishment from heaven every day.
Everyone is thinking about it.
...It would have been great if I hadn’t done these things in the first place.
Bai Yuan seized every opportunity and continued to learn various knowledge. He absorbed all the ancient techniques and knowledge into his mind to prepare for the next world.
He is growing up day by day.
Lin Cui Niang and Zhao Ping An also grew older day by day.
All the people have never forgotten that the evil spirits are constantly threatening their lives. This has also led to a gradual decrease in quarrels and fights among neighbors, and everyone is working hard to make their lives better.
Year after year.
The seal on no area has ever been loosened.
Gradually.
Eighty years have passed.
The emperor at that time had already grown old and had abdicated the throne to the prince more than 20 years ago. He carefully taught him how to be an excellent monarch and to always keep the people in mind.
The other party also did a good job.
The emperor was satisfied and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Before he died, he was still thinking... Thanks to everything the national teacher has done, the people can live and work in peace.
If there really is reincarnation in this world.
He was willing to sacrifice his soul in the hope that the Imperial Master could live long and have an immortal spirit.
In Zhaojia Village, those people have grown old and died, but their children and grandchildren keep their fathers’ wishes in mind and always maintain the house at the foot of the mountain.
It's amazing.
Decades have passed, and the seemingly dilapidated house seems to have been frozen in time, always maintaining its original appearance.
It was as if... the immortal family would come back at any time.
The Zhao family and those villagers have thought about committing suicide more than once.
But every time he tried to commit suicide, he would be entangled by the trees and whipped continuously, and the next thunder would be even more violent.
As if warning them not to try to escape punishment by death.
They only endured it for ten years before they became a little crazy, and kept telling everyone that they were relatives of immortals. They loved immortals very much and lived in fantasy, trying to escape pain and torture.
Bai Yuan felt resistance to this and used energy to heal these people.
These people can only live their lives in sobriety and pain until the end of their lives. Their faces are full of tears and their voices are trembling: "We were really wrong."
Bai Yuan was not moved at all.
The day of the regent's death came. He looked up at the sky with a heart full of pain and reluctance: "Why didn't the evil demon come out?"
The emperor's son governs the country so well.
He was so unwilling.
The Regent died with his eyes wide open amid the contempt and disgust of the crowd, and was finally hastily wrapped up in a mat and buried.
Bai Yuan lowered his eyes.
The former son of luck is dead.
Regardless of whether a new son of destiny will be born in this world, the other party will not be able to do anything to harm the people under such circumstances.
Lin Cui Niang and Zhao Ping An lived a life without illness or pain, and their bodies always remained in the condition of their youth.
They knew it must have been done by Yuan Ge'er.
When the couple's life came to an end, they held Bai Yuan's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Dad and mom are gone, Yuan Ge'er, you must be well on your own. Remember, we will always love you."
Bai Yuan looked at the couple quietly and said softly, "Yes, you will be reunited with Brother Yuan again, go to sleep."
The couple smiled and closed their eyes.
Bai Yuan extracted some of the energy he had accumulated over the past few decades and injected it into the souls of the couple.
There is a trace of the original body's soul left in the system, otherwise it would be impossible for Bai Yuan to obtain the original body's memory and come to this world in the other's body.
The system takes out this weak soul.
Bai Yuan sent the souls of the three people away. In the next life, they will be a family again.
Bai Yuan stood up and said, "Let's go."
He had no intention of taking away the energy accumulated over the past few decades. No matter how much energy he had, he could not bring it back to his original body.
not to mention.
As long as he wants, he can devour everything around him at any time, including the universe, and easily become the strongest existence.
He sealed these energies beneath the imperial city.
In this way, as long as the mortals in this world do not want evil monsters to come out, all wars and conflicts will be reduced.
certainly.
If a war really happened.
The energy will transform into evil demons and wreak havoc on the world, while another part of the energy will transform into the image of immortals and perish together with the evil demons.
After that, the energy completely dissipated.
The world will once again return to a state without spiritual energy.
But it had nothing to do with him anymore.
[Leaving the world...]
The world before his eyes changed again, and when Bai Yuan opened his eyes, he returned to the place where he was born.
abyss.
Bai Yuan blinked and immediately realized something was wrong.
He looked down.
A small ball of light was lying quietly in the palm of his hand. It was full of energy that was more than all the energy accumulated in the previous world, and even... mixed with strange energy.
It made him feel familiar, yet strange: "System, what is this?"
The system scanned the object and suddenly became excited: [Host! This is a part of the world's core. With your help, the world's core was born with consciousness. It is grateful for everything you have done and voluntarily gives you a part of the core. From now on, as long as the world is still running, you can obtain the energy given by the world. ]
Bai Yuan suddenly realized.
No wonder this energy is so close to me.
Bai Yuan raised the corners of his lips in joy. This was the first time he was liked and the first time he received a small gift as his original form.
He likes it very much.
Bai Yuan absorbed this energy carefully and found that as long as he thought about it, he could sense the operation of that small world and the emotions at the core of the world.
It is happy.
The world is not declining, but is functioning well.
The system suddenly said: [Perhaps one day, this world will be promoted to a new level. By then, the core energy of the rules fed back to you will be even greater.]
Bai Yuan doesn't care about these.
He was only curious about the wider new world: "Then let's go to the next world."
【Okay, host. 】
The system swept Bai Yuan's body, traveling through time and space, and arrived at the second small world——
