Starry Heaven is a paradise without earth, like a great city made of glass suspended in the center of the stars. Without the shield of the atmosphere, the pure starlight is so bright that it is almost blinding. The starry sky here is exactly the same as the real world. On midsummer nights, you can see the Summer Triangle wandering, and in late autumn you can enjoy the splendor of the Leonid meteor shower.

As a reward for abandoning the earth, the starry sky resources of the Starry Kingdom are the best in the Seven Heavens, covering almost all the spirits of astrology and light magic, as well as 30% of the space magic spirits. Compared with the vast universe, the Star City is as small as a glass ball, but the Star City seems to be the real center of the universe, with the constellations in line, the stars returning to their positions, and the starlight in the sky rhythmically surrounding the Star City.

When the seven angels of heaven gathered at the "Star Prayer Room" at the top of Star City, all the angels were nervous and full of expectations. They were not summoned on the day when the stars entered the Star Cage, nor were they called on the day when the stars entered the seventh level of the Void Realm. They knew that they were incapable of sharing the worries of the Lord, so they fulfilled their responsibilities and managed every secret area of ​​the world. Now the Lord actually summoned them all together. Is there going to be a big move?

The Lord did not let them wait. He did not like to wait for others nor did he like others to wait for Him. When they knelt on one knee, the scattered starlight gathered on the throne. Just when the angels thought that the Lord would descend in an illusion, they saw the Lord emerge from the starlight, as if he had been sitting on the throne from the beginning, calm, elegant, and dignified, without the need for words.

When He raised his eyes, the majesty of the magic from a high-ranking magician weighed heavily on the shoulders of the angels like the stars. Although He was not qualified to call himself a seven-winged magician after just obtaining the Supreme Void Wings, after training in the seventh level of the Void Realm, He was already the undisputed number one magician of all time.

The stars are high!

"Congratulations to the stars!" the angels of law praised in unison.

He said nothing, but moved his fingers lightly, and seven rays of starlight merged into the souls of the Law Angels. The Law Angels immediately knew their mission this time and the changes in the Six Hells. Although they had not yet sorted out their thoughts, no one questioned it.

"Except for Xinglu who will stay to take charge of the Kingdom of Heaven, all other angels of law will go to claim the secrets and wonders of the world." His voice was as ethereal as a stream filled with moonlight, flowing quietly in the angels' hearts: "Do you have anything to add?"

"My Lord," the Light Law Angel couldn't help but say, "Isn't the reward for Ash Hiss too generous? Although he has the Supreme Void Wings, he is only a demigod now..."

He glanced at Guanglu, and the angel who had followed his master for three thousand years stiffened instantly, but still raised his head stubbornly, hoping to get an explanation.

“…The seventh level of the Void Realm is more important than anything else.” “He” said calmly, “I don’t want to be distracted by the trivial matters of heaven, hell, and the human world. I need a vice-lord of heaven who can take care of my fate.”

"Can't we, the Angels of Law, do the same?" Guang Lu couldn't help but say, "In terms of loyalty and ability, aren't we, who have been through the test, more trustworthy than this new demigod with unknown origins? He is just a lucky man—"

"Trust?" He slowly stood up from the throne: "Worthy?"

The stars were shaking, and space was collapsing. Although they were kneeling in the spacious "Star Prayer Room", the Law Angels felt like they were stuffed into a rubber hose, and the ubiquitous pressure was almost squeezing them into a ball of mud. They stared at the texture of the glazed floor tiles, sweating profusely, and dared not look up.

He walked down the steps step by step, and the skirt woven by the Milky Way appeared in the sight of the angels. The silent Guanglu trembled all over. This "star deputy" who was qualified to take charge of the kingdom of heaven when the master was away, and was regarded as the brightest star in the starry kingdom, was as dim as a stone at this moment.

“I am the first Supreme of Magic. I am both All and One.” He said, “But the right to define value is not in my hands. It is you who decides whether it is worth it or not. This is very interesting.”

"I, I..." Guanglu's voice was almost like a wail.

"Of course." He reached out and gently patted Guang Lu's shoulder. "As the source angel I rely on the most, you are certainly trustworthy."

Hearing this, Guang Lu almost fainted. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't be rude, Jian Lu would have undoubtedly collapsed on the ground.

"As for whether Ash is worthy of being a vice-lord of the Kingdom of Heaven..."

He said calmly, "I said he was worthy, do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Very good, we have reached a consensus." He said: "Light Law, you switch with Star Law, and you will be responsible for guarding the Kingdom of Heaven."

Before Guanglu could reply, he was blown out of the door by the blazing starlight and disappeared from the Star Prayer Room in an instant. The whole Star City was shaken by this.

"Destiny is to let those who deserve to be punished be punished, and those who deserve to have something have it." He sat back on the throne and said leisurely: "If anyone can challenge the Vice-Lord of Heaven, then who will believe in the glory of the supreme magic?"

"Follow the will of the stars!" The law angels responded in unison. They knew that this was not only a punishment, but also a warning. If Ash Hiss was willing to enter heaven - no angel thought that anyone could refuse the invitation of the Lord - then they must regard Ash Hiss as the true vice-lord of heaven and respect him as they respect the Lord. Those who disrespect him will suffer the same fate as the Light Law.

"My Lord." Xing Lu said respectfully, "Although it is a matter of course to solemnly welcome the Vice Lord of Heaven, the Vice Lord has just entered the demigod level. There is no need to dispatch the six secret worlds, right? Moreover, although the Void Gate can connect heaven and earth, it also has a carrying capacity limit. Our fifth virtual wing may not be able to pass through."

Xinglu said it in a tactful way. Actually, sending out the secret worlds meant to violently kidnap Ash. Let's not talk about whether Ash would resist. Even if Ash really wanted to resist, why would it be necessary to send out so many secret worlds to deal with such a rookie who just became a demigod? It was like using a star destroyer to kill a mosquito.

He pondered for a moment, "Let as many people go as possible. You can't treat Ash as a normal person. Even in a situation that is clearly foolproof, he can always find a way out."

"Master, the information mentioned that the deputy has several followers of the demigod level." Jian Lu asked: "If a conflict breaks out, the deputy can't hurt their lives, but what about these followers? How should we treat them?"

He was silent for a moment, and then he said softly: "Jian Ji is his favorite girl. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the light of his life. If he were to delete the most important person in his life, the one who would remain at the end would probably be Jian Ji."

"The witch is the family member he wants to protect the most. If you didn't know him... you would even think he really has a daughter."

"The person he cares least about is the Ghost Prophet. After all, he and the Ghost Prophet were in opposition from the beginning. But after experiencing the Angel Hunt, even if he still refuses to accept the Ghost Prophet, it is probably difficult for him to give up this friendship of life and death, right?"

"And the Silver Lamp Spirit that suddenly appeared at the end... must have a deep connection with him in the past..."

Jian Lu quickly arranged the priorities in his mind. If a conflict really broke out, the first to be killed would naturally be the Ghost Prophet, followed by the Silver Lamp Spirit. He believed that this would be enough to suppress Ash Hiss's will to resist. As for the Sword Lady and the Witch, it would be best to leave them behind. After all, they were the most important to Ash. If they died——

"You guys decide."

Jian Lu looked up in astonishment, only to see that the Lord had already turned into a stream of light and disappeared. The Lord who was talking to them was just a phantom of starlight, and His real body was still at the seventh level of the Void Realm. However, even though it was just an illusion, it could bring them heavy mental pressure, and even severely injure the Angel of Light with one blow.

After this brief meeting, the Lord became even more unfathomable in the hearts of the Angels of Law.

Ten seconds later, the angels of law stood up and looked at each other, and they all saw deep confusion in each other's eyes.

Because this was the first time they received an 'incomplete order' from their lord.

From the longest-following Xing Lu to the youngest Jian Lu, they have never needed to exercise their subjective initiative, but only need to perfectly execute the orders of the master. The master is overbearing, arrogant, wise, and never hesitates. The biggest advantage of working under the master is that you don't have to guess his mind, and you can get rewards by faithfully completing the task.

However, this time the Lord actually said "You decide", leaving the decision to them. If we analyze it according to common sense, then we should kill the Ghost Prophet and the Silver Lamp Spirit as much as possible to use as a threat, and keep the Sword Princess and the Witch as a win-over, but the Lord did not mention this plan, which means that He does not agree with this approach, or...

He was unwilling to take responsibility for making the decision.

…

In the Star Bridge Hall, the six-winged angel was thrown into the rain pool, splashing countless water. This demigod of the secret realm, who was at the top of the mortal world and should have been the invincible supreme messenger, was now in such a state of desolation that it even made people feel a little pitiful.

The flow has changed.

The magic sword was completely destroyed, and there was endless murderous intent in all directions. The blood moon sword light, the time lock line, the silver universe, and the soul shackles, four completely different fighting methods were fit together like precision gears. The Sword Law Angel, who was a demigod of swordsmanship, could not find even a slight gap and was beaten to the point where he could only barely hold on.

Before the arrival of Jian Lu, he did not think that anyone could fight against him, but Ash and his team not only possessed miracles, but also condensed a layer of prison wings, which made them official demigods. Even so, they could only "fight against themselves", and there was still a long way to go before they could "defeat themselves".

However, faced with the nearly unsolvable "Curtain of Sorrow", they actually managed to break it by lowering their attacks to the critical damage... This is certainly a method that everyone can think of, but in a tight encounter, who can calculate the critical damage so quickly, and who can control the damage they cause each time?

Even if the "Veil of Sorrow" is broken, the "Prison of Self-Injury" is enough to establish victory. This wonder is invincible in the Sword Rain Pool. The only way to break it is to break through the Sword Rain Pool and escape, otherwise you will be tortured to death by your own shadow. But Ash can actually take the shadow sword for others, and he didn't faint even with nine shadow swords piercing his body. Jian Lu didn't know what to say, and could only sigh "You are worthy of being the vice-lord of the kingdom of heaven."

"Even in situations where there is no chance of failure, he always finds a way out."

The master is indeed the master, he is very good at judging people.

But because of this, Jian Lu finally understood his master's true mission.

He had been wrong before, thinking that the Ghost Prophet and the Silver Lamp Spirit were on the same level, and the Sword Witch was on another level, and that different attitudes could be taken towards them.

However, Jian Lu discovered in actual combat that there might be differences in the levels of these four people to Ash. It is true that Jian Ji is the most favored, and Vichy is the most hated, but the four of them are always at the same level.

They are all at the level of "whoever dares to hurt them, Ash will bite."

No wonder the lord did not issue a clear order, because there was no way to treat them differently from the beginning. There was no possibility that if Sword Law killed Vichy, Ash would become a coward, and there was no possibility that if Sword Law killed Sonia, Ash would become disheartened.

No matter who you kill, it will lead to the same result.

So the real meaning of the master is actually...

Kill all of Ash's girls.

That's why He sent out six law angels and allowed them to carry the world's secrets and eternal wonders. Perhaps the Lord didn't understand his own thoughts, or in other words, His rationality and sensibility were at odds. Rationally speaking, if he really wanted to recruit Ash, then his followers must not be killed.

But the lord does not want Ash's followers to live.

He could not give a wrong order, and did not want to bear the responsibility for a mistake, so He gave the decision-making power to the angels of law, but had them fully armed - because He was full of murderous intent in his heart.

Ash Hiss, you are truly a sinful man.

Even the greatest magician of ancient and modern times, the one who controls all things with supreme magic, the great existence who possesses all the time in this world, the king who has always been resolute and swift and does not care about the world's evaluation, would choose to evade responsibility because of you.

But only you are qualified to become the vice-king of heaven.
