In a blink of an eye, a month passed leisurely.

During this period, Li Nianfan lived a leisurely life. He played the role of the chief director of the Heavenly Palace, the Sea Clan, the Underworld, and the Human Race, and was responsible for the overall command.

However, with his talent, he was able to handle the situation with ease even when facing many gods and immortals. He went back to the courtyard to rest at night, and was responsible for directing the work on site during the day. In his spare time, he chatted with the Jade Emperor about some interesting things. It was really comfortable.

Every time he saw the group of actors listening to his explanation solemnly and carefully, the sense of vanity made Li Nianfan secretly happy.

It was hard to imagine that he had gotten to this point without realizing it. In terms of status alone, he was also a big shot in this world.

Through the conversations during this period, Li Nianfan not only learned about the interesting stories of the gods in the past, but also had a clearer understanding of the current situation.

In summary, it is the change of times.

Just like what Sun Wukong said in Journey to the West: "The Jade Emperor takes turns to sit, this year it is my turn."

The changes in the situation of heaven and earth have made the forces that were originally hidden in the dark in the prehistoric times, or the ambitious people, show their claws. Some people like a peaceful and prosperous world, so that everyone can be happy, but some people like a chaotic world, so that they can have more opportunities to realize their ambitions.

Today's Jade Emperor, the underworld, and the dragon clan have become "the remnants of the previous dynasty" who want to restore the previous dynasty, while the villains are "the resolute supporters of the new era" who want to change the world.

In fact, to put it bluntly, once the Jade Emperor's group is dealt with, the remaining group can dominate.

Li Nianfan couldn't help but sigh: "The so-called general trend is nothing more than struggle."

Now, without knowing it, he has been fighting fiercely with the "remnants of the previous dynasty". It can be said that he chose a camp inexplicably, but he is not panicking.

First of all, Li Nianfan thinks that the strength of the Jade Emperor is still very reliable. Combined with the mythological stories he is familiar with, after the Conferred God, in addition to the saints, although there are countless strong people, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are also the second most powerful. Their identity is still the boy of the Taoist Ancestor. As for Hou Tu of the underworld, they should still retain some strength. Secondly

, I still have a meritorious saint body to support me, so I can still protect myself and watch this big show.

At this time, everyone was drinking at the performance venue.

The news that the annual performance was to be held here had spread. With the gods as a guarantor, the entire mortal world was in an uproar, and Luoxian City was even more in an uproar. However, seeing that this place was blocked, no one dared to come and join in the fun, but they were all looking forward to it.

The Jade Emperor nodded and agreed, "Mr. Li is right. In fact, from ancient times to the present, the great trend of heaven and earth has been accompanied by the struggle of various races, and the catastrophe is also caused by this."

Zhou Yunwu also said, "It is too difficult to have no struggle, it is almost impossible."

He is the emperor of man, and what he has experienced can be regarded as a microcosm of the great world of prehistoric times. Not to mention the great world, even among the human race, there is constant struggle and intrigue, and there is no way.

Li Nianfan had let go of all this a long time ago. Struggle is an eternal theorem. What he cares more about is how to better protect himself, so he asked, "Your Majesty, do you know how many powerful people there are in this world?"

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "I don't know. After the catastrophe, the Taoist once said that the world is connected to the sky and the earth, and those above the Golden Immortal level are not allowed to enter the world. After that, everyone was either sealed or hidden, but now... the era of the world is connected to the sky and the earth seems to be over. I have been sealed for so many years, and I don't know who is still alive."

Li Nianfan frowned. This time the difficulty was much greater. There were a lot of quasi-saints, not to mention the Golden Immortals.

The villains that can be confirmed now are the demons, the South China Sea, and the Qilin clan. These three clans alone are actually not easy to mess with.

The demons are more treacherous. Their main goal is to deal with the human race. They have Luohou as their backer, and their background is so powerful that it is terrifying.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea got the Dragon Soul Orb, which seems to be a treasure that can make supernatural powers perfect in a very short time. It is a bit similar to the ultimate boss in the novels of the previous life. Who knows how powerful

the Qilin clan is. It is not known how powerful it is for the time being, but after all, it is one of the three strongest clans in the prehistoric world and is not easy to mess with.

At this time, two figures came flying from a distance on clouds. They were tall and muscular, with conspicuous bull heads and horse faces, and their identities were easy to identify.

With a rough voice, he bowed and greeted everyone, saying, "Greetings, Mr. Li, His Majesty the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother."

Then, he looked at the table in front of everyone, his eyes shining and his saliva almost overflowing from the mouths of cows and horses. Black

Impermanence said, "Old cows and old horses, what are you doing here instead of observing the cycle of reincarnation?"

The Ox-Headed Demon glared with his eyes and let out an angry "moo", saying in a buzzing voice, "It's easy for

you to say, why don't you go and observe the cycle of reincarnation?" "Black and White Impermanence, you spend all day outside eating and drinking well, living a leisurely life, while letting us two brothers suffer in the underworld. Don't you feel guilty?" Horse-Faced Demon pointed at Black and White Impermanence and scolded them loudly, "Look at this beautiful and sexy tuft of horse hair on my head, it's almost bulging out!"

As he spoke, he lovingly stroked the tuft of horse hair that was sticking out of his head with his hand, like a small braid dancing in the wind.

They were miserable. The work of reincarnation was miserable, but seeing the elegant life of the Black and White Impermanence made them miserable. They

had been holding it in for so long. When they thought of the delicious food at Master Li's place, they finally couldn't hold back their restlessness and ran out.

Li Nianfan said with a smile, "Since you are here, please sit down."

"Thank you, Master Li. We are sorry to be disrespectful." The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced were overjoyed and raised the wine in the cup as soon as they sat down. "Sorry, please take care of yourself. We will punish ourselves with a glass."

After saying that, they swallowed it down with a "sizzle". Suddenly, the eyes on the Ox-Faced and Horse-Faced narrowed.

Comfort, this is the fun of life.

Li Nianfan asked with a smile: "Will you two be in trouble if you come out without permission?"

"No, we have specially trained some ghost messengers during this period, and the results have begun to show. As long as it is not a difficult problem, it will be fine."

At this point, Niutou looked at Meng Junliang and said, "Mr. Meng, I know you are a great scholar of the time. You must train more scholars and let them prepare. We are waiting for them to come and apply for the job."

Horse-faced man also said, "King Zhou, Mr. Meng, as a member of the underworld, I have to remind you of something."

Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang said at the same time, "I would like to hear the details."

"The operation of heaven has its own laws. For mortals, birth, aging, illness and death are the natural way. With the status of various positions, you can naturally ask for life-extending medicine from immortal cultivators, but in fact it is a minor path. Unless you leave the mortal body and embark on the path of immortal cultivation, otherwise, once you force your life to be extended, it will be recorded in the Book of Life and Death. At that time... it will be karma and a stain."

Horse-Faced Man paused and continued, "If a Confucian scholar dies naturally, he has a chance to be recruited by us. If he forcefully extends his life, not only will we not recruit him, but those with serious circumstances will be punished as serious crimes."

Black Wuchang was much more straightforward. He said, "Now, both my underworld and the City God Temple are in urgent need of manpower. There are many positions. This is an opportunity. You can go and persuade them. Those who want to apply, don't force it. Come quickly, come quickly!"

Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang were both frowning. They smiled bitterly and bowed their hands. "Thank you for your advice."

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon raised their glasses again. "Then let's toast to King Zhou and Master Meng together!"

Li Nianfan saw that they were much more relaxed than before, and smiled curiously, "Has the operation of the underworld now entered the right track?"

"This is all thanks to Master Li. I tell you, the City God Temple is simply a genius idea, otherwise how could it be so easy?" The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced were full of gratitude and raised their glasses again, "We are two rough guys, so we don't need to say much gratitude, everything is in the wine, toast to Master Li!"

Li Nianfan could see that the bull and the horse were just here to get some free drinks, and they kept toasting each other.

Putting down the wine glass, the Bull-Headed rubbed his own head and said, "But speaking of which, the Styx in the underworld has started to become restless recently. I don't know what those Asuras are doing. I'm afraid there will be changes."

The Jade Emperor's eyes flickered slightly, "Styx?"

Li Nianfan's heart also moved, and he was naturally familiar with the name of the Styx, which was no less than the Yellow Spring.

In the myth, the Styx was formed from a mass of dirty blood in Pangu's body. The most important thing is that it gave birth to a powerful person named Styx Patriarch, and was accompanied by two precious swords named Yuantu and Abi. He also left a bold statement that the blood sea will never dry up and the Styx will never die.

If the bold statement is true, then the Styx Patriarch is obviously still alive, which is a high probability event.

The probability that the Styx will become a villain is also... a high probability event.

Well, I was just wondering which powerful people are still alive, and here comes a super powerful person.

By the way, in addition to giving birth to the Styx Patriarch, the Styx also gave birth to a six-winged mosquito Taoist, who is also a ruthless character. Unfortunately, he sucked away the third grade of the twelve-grade golden lotus of the guide saint.

It is also highly likely that he is... a villain.

There are really too many big guys, and each of them has the power to destroy the world. No wonder the prehistoric catastrophes are endless.

Niu Tou looked solemn, "When the underworld was broken, countless souls were thrown into the Styx. Now the underworld is gradually recovering, and the Styx seems unwilling."

Queen Mother frowned and said in a deep voice: "The ancestor of the Styx was the master killer. He wanted to learn from Nüwa to create humans and become a saint. In the end, he created the Asura clan, which likes to devour the souls of the six paths. It seems that they have begun to be restless."

Once the situation was discussed, the Jade Emperor began to become worried, "I don't know if the Heavenly Palace can be restored this time."

"Everything depends on human efforts."

Everyone lined up and chatted about everything. In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.

The much-anticipated annual meeting...opened grandly.
