Whether it was an easy question or a deadly one, under the watchful eyes of all the immortals, he had been thrust into the spotlight.
He looked at the still kneeling immortals and felt very uncomfortable.
He looked at Kui Kui and said, "Could you let them get up first?"
"You decide, I'll listen to you."
King Yama blushed, but fortunately, his face had darkened considerably when Kui Kui called his name earlier, so no one else could tell anything was wrong.
"Get up, all of you!"
"Yes!" all the immortals replied in unison.
Immortal Lord Bairen also stood up along with the other immortals, feeling quite uneasy.
King Yama, both in his past and present lives, has solved countless cases, providing clear, concise, and insightful explanations for all the immortals.
The immortals never expected that the ascension passage from the mortal realm had been destroyed.
The Star Lord of Destiny stepped forward to express his gratitude, saying, "This was truly our oversight! Thank you, Immortal Lord, for clearing up our doubts."
“Immortal Lord is not from my Immortal Realm, but he looks very familiar to me. Have we met before?”
Yama, the King of Hell, wanted to say no, as he had already accomplished most of his purpose for this trip.
The next step is to investigate whether the destruction of the secret passage was caused by human intervention, and whether the overcrowding of souls in the underworld is related to the celestial realm.
Since it's a covert investigation, it's naturally not appropriate to reveal one's identity.
"You should have seen the Conferring of Immortals ceremony. This man was once one of the Ten Kings of Hell in Fengdu Underworld, King Yama," Kui Kui said while eating the immortal fruit given to him by the female immortal.
King Yama: ...
Do I not have a mouth? Do you need to introduce me?
The Star Lord of Destiny exclaimed in surprise, "My apologies! No wonder the name Yama King sounded familiar; it turns out to be the Immortal Lord Xiren."
"Greetings, Immortal Lord Xiren." After learning of Yama's identity, the immortals all greeted him.
After Kui Kui finished eating the bright red fairy fruit, her lips were rosy and delicate, and her smile was even more radiant and captivating.
She tossed the fruit pit into the flowerbed beside the lotus pond, clapped her hands, and said, "How is my choice? Is he worthy of the position of Immortal Emperor?"
Some nodded in agreement, some shook their heads in opposition, and some stood still and remained neutral.
"Isn't Immortal Lord Xiren the King of Hell in Fengdu Underworld? Isn't it inappropriate for him to remain in the Immortal Realm and become an emperor?" The Immortal Realm has always been the head of the Three Realms, how can it become an appendage of the Underworld?
The last sentence, though not spoken aloud by the deity, reflects the sentiments of most of those who disagree.
“Immortal Lord Xiren has resigned from his position as King of Hell. So, strictly speaking, he is no longer a person of the Underworld. He ascended to the Immortal Realm with me, so he is naturally a person of the Immortal Realm.”
King Yama: ...
You asked me to bring you up here, so how did it become me being with you?
This isn't how you take the initiative, is it?
The opponents of the Kui Kui Sword looked a little better and continued, "Whether it's good or bad, we'll only know by trying. There's a saying in the mortal world called 'internship,' so why not let Immortal Lord Xi Ren temporarily take over the position of Immortal Emperor? If it's good, then he can stay in office; if not, you can choose someone else."
More than half of the immortals nodded.
"The most important task at present is to rebuild the path to immortality in the mortal realm. This is not something that one or a few immortals can accomplish. It requires someone to lead it. In fact, it would be better to choose someone who is not originally from the immortal realm. After all, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."
After Kui Kui finished speaking, three-quarters of the immortals expressed their agreement.
As for those that hadn't been touched, Kui Kui also kept a mental note of them.
These must all be the Celestial Emperor's confidants.
Under Kui Kui's influence, Yama eventually became an apprentice Immortal Emperor in the Celestial Realm.
Kui Kui stood with his hands behind his back, touring the immortal palace belonging to the Immortal Emperor.
This place was once the residence of Niao Niao, a descendant of Nuwa.
When the intern Immortal Emperor Xiren saw Kui Kui so calm and composed, he became even more furious.
His plans were completely ruined by this woman!
Kui Kui noticed his gaze, turned around and smiled, "What's wrong? Don't you want to be the Immortal Emperor?"
"In no mood."
"Actually, being an Immortal Emperor is quite good."
Why don't you take the job?
"In no mood."
Immortal Lord Xiren:...
“Immortal Lord Xiren, sometimes you can see more by putting yourself in the open than by staying in the shadows.”
Immortal Lord Xiren was taken aback, staring at the calm and insightful girl before him, momentarily lost in thought.
Her body covered in spikes, and her occasional madness, were merely a disguise.
"What are you planning to do next?" asked Immortal Lord Xiren.
Kui Kui picked up a silver hairpin-shaped magical artifact and said, "Go find my Xiao Sansheng."
Do you know where the Three Lives Stone is?
"Yes, I can sense it in the human world. I'm leaving now. Xiaodi is in your care. Be careful in everything you do." Kui Kui said before leaving.
Immortal Lord Xiren suddenly felt a void in his heart.
Grey Fourth Master was also pushed to a higher position.
He never dreamed that one day he would become the head of the Gray Clan.
At this moment, sitting opposite him in the main seat of the Gray Family's old council chamber was a man who struck fear into his heart.
Behind the man stood another man who struck fear into his heart.
