All the Lianxu Zhenjun present were staring blankly at the scene before them, even the dozen or so ghosts and gods from the underworld were the same.
After the chaos in the Dusk Realm, Fengdu Underworld transformed the incense and worship realm throughout Daxia into the land of the underworld, forming its own realm that is opposed to the present world.
As heaven and earth revive, powerful ghosts and gods in the underworld gradually awaken, and the shackles on the six gods of Luofeng are further removed. The underworld has become a behemoth that no one can ignore.
Tens of millions of dead souls, a large number of ancient ghosts and gods who have been sleeping for thousands of years and whose strength is comparable to that of the gods who have refined their spirits and returned to the void, the four gods of the six heavens of Luofeng who have set foot in the fairyland, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who sits in the eighteen levels of hell, and the unfathomable Emperor Fengdu.
Even though the underworld was regarded as the number one force in the Xuanhuang Realm, no one dared to oppose it. This also gave the dozen or so ghosts and gods in front of them the confidence to ignore Shen Yuan.
But even such a powerful underworld brought down a horrific punishment from heaven and wiped out an ancient ghost god comparable to a master of the Lingxu realm.
The reason for this was actually the rude offense that the mighty ghosts and gods had committed against Shen Yuan.
The humans and ghosts present at the scene could not believe their eyes. If it were not for the fact that the roar of the underworld's will in that land of the underworld was still resounding through heaven and earth, more people would be willing to believe that it was the Supreme Taoist who used some kind of magical power to wipe out the mighty ghosts and gods.
Everyone looked at Shen Yuan with fear in their eyes, fear of the unknown.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yuan felt helpless.
He possesses the status of the Great Emperor of Fengdu and is the Lord of the underworld of Fengdu. The entire underworld is under his control, even the will of the underworld is no exception.
Strictly speaking, it was because Shen Yuan achieved the status of the Incomplete Shinto Emperor, and combined with his efforts to clear out the Ten Courts of Hell and expand the realm of the underworld, that the current will of the underworld was born.
To the will of the underworld, Shen Yuan is the supreme ruler who will not tolerate any offense from anyone.
Although Wei Kui is an ancient and powerful ghost, he is a ghost attached to the underworld. In front of the will of the underworld, he is just an ant that can be wiped out at will.
It was absolutely intolerable for the underworld's will that an ant dared to offend its master, so it was only natural for it to send down thunder to wipe out the mighty ghosts and gods.
It would certainly be satisfying to kill Wei Kui ghost, but the problem is that there are too many people watching. Wei Kui was killed by the will of the underworld for just a few offensive words, which inevitably makes people think of the connection between Shen Yuan and the underworld.
The identity of Emperor Fengdu is the trump card left by Shen Yuan, so that he can use this identity to trap the enemies of Baiyun Jinxian or the Dusk Realm at the critical moment.
If we were to be exposed here because of a mere ghost or god, it would be a waste of time and effort.
Thoughts in his mind were racing, and Shen Yuan secretly mobilized his supernatural power to gather the most original power of the Netherworld into a token in the small world, and blessed it with the aura of the Emperor of Fengdu.
Then Shen Yuan waved his hand to open the space crack, and Shen Yuan took out the token from the small world.
Everyone could feel a tangible aura of the Netherworld emerging, and the will of the underworld was responding to the birth of the token at this moment.
The inky token seemed to be carved from the broken underworld, with the gods and ghosts in the heavens engraved on it, as if they would break free from the token's constraints and appear here at any time.
And in the center of the token, the word "Fengdu" was clearly written.
Holding the token, Shen Yuan looked down at the numerous ghosts and gods, and the land of the underworld trembled.
"I have been entrusted by the Great Emperor of Fengdu to monitor the ghosts and gods in the underworld.
From the six heavens of Luofeng to the ghosts of the underworld, they all have their duties. "
"The majestic ghosts and gods disregard their duties as ghosts and gods, enjoying the incense and offerings of Daxia but not protecting the living, and acting recklessly in the name of the underworld, which is actually shaking the fortunes of the ghosts and gods in the underworld.
I will use the power of the underworld to kill him here. Do you have any objection?"
Shen Yuan's remarks were made in order to provide a reasonable explanation for the elimination of the Wei Kui ghosts and gods. At the same time, he also secretly took the initiative to replace the will of the underworld with his own actions.
Many of the human race's True Lords all looked puzzled and couldn't help but whispered:
"Entrusted by the Emperor of Fengdu to monitor ghosts and gods? When did the Supreme Taoist have any relationship with the Emperor of Fengdu?"
"The Supreme Daoist has survived from ten thousand years ago to the present day, and the Emperor of Fengdu is suspected to be the incarnation of a certain Shinto emperor. It seems normal for them to be connected as both are high-ranking beings."
"Doesn't that mean that the Supreme Daoist is higher in status than the Six Heavenly Gods of Luofeng in the Netherworld?"
"I'm afraid that in the entire underworld, only the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who once appeared in the imperial capital can be compared with him."
The explanation given by Shen Yuan was very reasonable, and he also took out the token of King Fengdu, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
Only the numerous ghosts and gods in the underworld looked at each other, with irrepressible shock flashing in their eyes.
Those human True Lords are not clear about the structure of the underworld. As ghosts and gods standing at the top of the underworld, don’t they know it either?
What kind of news is monitoring ghosts and gods? This news has never been spread in the underworld. Even the six gods of Luofeng have not revealed any news about it. It's like it suddenly appeared.
However, the token in Shen Yuan's hand, which carried the aura of Emperor Fengdu, could not tolerate any falsification.
Moreover, even if he was really an inspector appointed by the Emperor of Fengdu, he was not qualified to mobilize the will of the underworld to bring down thunder punishment.
Because the will of the underworld is subordinate to the Emperor Fengdu, and it gathers the wills of countless ghosts and gods in the underworld, and no one except the Emperor Fengdu can mobilize it.
In a trance, a bold idea flashed through the minds of the many ghosts and gods present.
"The Emperor of Fengdu is related to the Supreme Daoist. It is even possible that the Supreme Daoist in front of us is one of the incarnations of a certain supreme being, just like the Emperor of Fengdu!"
In an instant, the thoughts of the many ghosts and gods suddenly became clear.
Why did the Bull-Headed Yin Marshal ride the imperial chariot out of the city to welcome back the Emperor of Fengdu, why had no one heard of the existence of the Emperor of Fengdu before, why did the Six Gods of Luofeng and Ksitigarbha participate in the Dusk Rebellion, and why did the underworld become the biggest beneficiary of the incense and fire realm.
All of this has its answer at this moment.
After knowing the secret, all the ghosts and gods wanted to kneel down and worship, but they were met with Shen Yuan's meaningful gaze.
The ghosts and gods who were able to cultivate to the realm of refining emptiness were all old ghosts who had existed for thousands or tens of thousands of years. They immediately understood that Shen Yuan was using the name of the Inspector to hide his identity.
All the ghosts and gods knelt on the ground respectfully, chanting loudly:
"We, the ghosts and gods of the underworld, are here to meet the Inspector!"
"The mighty ghost god ignored his duty as a ghost god and was destroyed by the Inspector's thunder magic. It was entirely his own fault!"
"It's a good thing that the Inspector General was killed! I have long disliked this black sheep."
"I have thought about defending one side for the Great Xia Dynasty before, but unfortunately it is difficult to go against the trend. Now that the Supervisor has given the order, we have no choice but to fulfill it!"
"The Inspector has come, the dynasty is stable! The Inspector has come, the human race is at peace!"
The numerous ghosts and gods were talking to each other, and they slid to their knees at such a speed that even the many human masters could not help but be dumbfounded.
The corner of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately realized that because of the will of the underworld, his true identity could not be hidden from these ghosts and gods.
Fortunately, even if the ghosts and gods in the underworld knew about it, it would not matter. As the lord of the underworld, I control all the ghosts and gods in the underworld. I can block the news with a single order.
As long as he could fool those True Lords of the human race, it would be enough. Moreover, it was not a bad thing for these ghosts and gods to know his identity. After all, Shen Yuan was going to let these ghosts and gods guard the territory recovered by Daxia. With the deterrence of his identity, these ghosts and gods would definitely not be careless.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan asked:
"How many ghosts and gods are there in Fengdu City right now who can rule the area?"
Immediately, a ghost replied:
"Your Excellency the Inspector, there are still 21 Refining Void Ghost Gods, 13 Returning Void Great Ghost Kings, and 103 Refining God Ghost Kings in Inner Fengdu City."
Shen Yuan frowned slightly. This number was not much considering the size of the underworld.
After all, the ghosts and gods in the underworld have long lifespans, so they don’t need to worry about their lifespans during the period of spiritual energy depletion, and can live longer.
But Shen Yuan had no choice at the moment, so he said directly:
"I want all these ghosts and gods. I will appoint them as city gods and send them to govern the states of Daxia!"
Although these ghosts and gods are relatively scarce in number judging from the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty after the revival of heaven and earth, it is better than having no one at all.
As long as the various forces do not take the opportunity to cause trouble, they can barely protect the human settlements.
After hearing Shen Yuan's words, the Refining Void Ghost God showed no dissatisfaction and responded repeatedly:
"Yes! We will prepare it immediately!"
Shen Yuan raised his hand to stop Lianxu Ghost God's action: "Don't worry, I have something else to ask."
"Please speak, Lord Supervisor."
"The Great Xia Dynasty and the Underworld have long had an alliance. Why did the Underworld stop aiding the Great Xia?"
There was some hesitation on the face of the Refining Void Ghost God, but he still spoke in detail:
“Your Excellency the Inspector, in fact, during the initial period of the recovery of the world, the underworld still insisted on assisting Daxia.
But there are too many forces coveting it, and many ghosts and gods have perished in the wars between the demons, causing more and more ghosts and gods to no longer be willing to guard the territory of Daxia."
"Just as something strange happened in the underworld, the four ghost immortals headed by Zhou Jue Yin Tian Gong temporarily left, leaving only Zong Ling Qi Fei Tian Gong and Gan Si Lian Wan Lu Tian Gong to take charge of the situation.
These two Luo Feng Liu Tian insisted on supporting Da Xia. Many of the awakened older generation ghosts and gods did not approve of the two Luo Feng Liu Tian who were of human origin, and thus disagreements arose in the underworld.
In addition, other forces secretly provided incense and prayer power in an attempt to prevent the underworld from interfering in the affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty, so more ghosts and gods chose to sit on the sidelines and watch. "
After figuring out the reason, another problem appeared in front of Shen Yuan.
"Why did the four ghost immortals led by Niu Tou leave Fengdu City?"
Upon hearing this, the Lianxu ghost god cautiously glanced at the twenty-five human Lianxu True Lords in the distance.
Shen Yuan knew it in his heart, and waved his hand to block the space and cut off the connection between the real world and the underworld.
"Now you can speak."
"Several ghost immortals from Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace went to Yingzhou overseas several years ago because there were signs of an invasion from the underworld.
If it is not stopped in time, I am afraid that the underworld will use Yingzhou as a springboard to return to the Xuanhuang world, and then the Ten Kings of Hell will also return!"
Shen Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and a solemn look finally appeared on his face.
Although Shen Yuan once personally expelled the Ten Kings of Hell, that was only with the help of the suppression of the Xuanhuang Realm. The true peak Ten Kings of Hell were at least powerful beings at the level of great celestial immortals.
Once the underworld can really return to the Xuanhuang Realm, the power projected by the Ten Kings of Hell will naturally be countless times higher than before, and the entire Xuanhuang Realm will face a disaster at that time.
"Niu Tou and his companions are far away from Fengdu City. Their Luofeng Liutian status may not be fully utilized, and they are not at an advantage when facing the invasion of the underworld.
It seems that we must find a time to go to Yingzhou and solve the problem of the underworld."
After a little thought, Shen Yuan already had a plan in mind.
With a wave of his hand, Shen Yuan lifted the spatial shield and looked at the human True Lords from various forces.
"The underworld gods have decided to help Daxia rule the fifteen states. If you have any other opinions, please feel free to raise them."
Shen Yuan had a smile on his face when he said this, but many of the Lianxu Zhenjun present could not help but shiver. The instinctive desire to survive burst out of their true spirits made them swallow the words they wanted to say back into their throats.
Before, they could still use the excuse of Da Xia being short of manpower to shirk responsibility, but now Shen Yuan has brought up his identity as the Grand Inspector, and even the ghosts and gods in the underworld have voluntarily surrendered. If they use the excuse of short of manpower again, it would seem a bit tactless.
Moreover, after the underworld surrendered, Daxia no longer relied solely on the Supreme Taoist. The combination of the two major forces reached the peak of the Xuanhuang Realm in the true sense, which was completely incomparable with the previous situation.
Faced with such a huge force, even a person with a small talent can only avoid its edge.
No one raised any objections, which made Shen Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
The matter was settled. Although the power of the states and counties had not yet been transferred, the general trend had been determined, and Shen Yuan still felt that his own humanitarian trend had seen a certain increase.
As the eighteen states are truly brought under control in the future, it is not impossible that the accumulation of humanitarian momentum will double.
After all, the Eighteen States at this time are completely different from what they were a few years ago.
The True Lords of other forces also looked at each other, with melancholy in their eyes.
It is obvious that as long as the Supreme Taoist is alive, all forces will be doomed.
In any case, although I lost a lot of things in this sudden disaster, at least my life was saved.
True Lord Lianxu bowed to Shen Yuan and said:
"Since this matter has been concluded, I will return to the sect to inform the disciples to hand over to Daxia."
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuan waved his hand and said, "There is no rush for this matter. I would like to invite you all to watch a good show."
Everyone was stunned, with doubts in their eyes, but Shen Yuan looked at the Imperial Observatory and said:
"The conspiracy between Dong Ling Zhen Tian and the demon clan has not yet been resolved. I would like to take this opportunity to question him. By the way, I would like to ask you to be a witness."
"As for the demon tribes around Daxia, we can also use this opportunity to wipe them out!"
