Chapter 695 The Prototype of a New Era
The Heavenly Court was recruiting a new batch of immortal officials and celestial beings, with a total of dozens of positions, and the talents recommended by Li Yuan accounted for 80% of them.
During the more than ten years of the great calamity and chaos, the Heavenly Court lost a large number of immortals, gods, and heavenly soldiers and generals for various reasons.
Now is the time when fresh blood is urgently needed.
However, despite the shortage of talent, the Heavenly Court still strictly examines new recruits, and only recruits minor positions of immortals and gods, and ensures that these people are worthy of training by investigating their life stories, merits, and fortune.
As for the deification and official appointments of these people, Li Yuan naturally did not need to worry too much, as the Heavenly Court would take care of it.
After experiencing the turmoil of the great catastrophe, Li Yuan was summoned by the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains, and under the watch of all the immortals, he was promoted to the Lord of Thousand Mountains.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains was quite satisfied with Li Yuan's performance in the catastrophe. He confronted and fought with the innate main force in the secret realm and experienced dangerous situations several times. These made him gradually let go of the grudge that his disciple died at the hands of Li Yuan.
"He asked for it, I can do nothing about it... I only hope that you can become the 'fire' of the human world, and together with the heavenly palace, burn away all those rotten and filthy things..."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains was filled with emotion. Not only did he grant Li Yuan the priesthood and authority of the Lord of Thousand Mountains, he also personally handed over the seal of the Lord of the Mountain Tribe to Li Yuan.
"Senior Mountain Master..."
Many immortals were watching, and all the high-ranking officials of the mountain tribe were present. How could Li Yuan dare to take the seal of the mountain master? He bowed quickly and took a few steps back.
"I am old and tired. Like Taiyin and Taiyang, I am ready to wait for the moment of death... We all have a premonition that the new heaven will no longer need us in the future."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains was beginning to feel old, with a look of fatigue that was difficult to conceal.
Without saying anything, he stuffed the mountain master's seal into Li Yuan's hand, held Li Yuan's hand tightly, looked at Li Yuan, and glanced at the senior leaders of the mountain tribe.
"We are part of the universe, yin and yang, the five elements, the four seasons, the mountains and rivers... We will not die, we will just return to nature..."
"Li Yuan...we old guys have been observing you. You are very good and worthy of trust. We will do our best to help you clear the obstacles before we leave..."
The mountain master's face showed an old age, but his eyes were extremely sharp. He swept across the high-level immortals and gods in the mountain tribe like a blade that was about to be stained with blood.
For a moment, the mountain gods, the Hundred Mountain Sacrifices, and the Jade Order Envoys were all shocked.
The mountain master must be aware of their filthiness and corruption, and must have secretly found some evidence. Now he wants to... take action against them!
The mountain gods were secretly frightened and had different thoughts, but they did not dare to show it on their faces.
Only the old man, Bai Shanji, who was very caring towards Li Yuan, showed a complex and relieved smile on his face, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
But the fear and anxiety in the eyes of other high-level immortals in the mountain tribe were all seen by the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains.
"Go find more suitable creatures. Heaven will need them soon."
The mountain master smiled, erased the mark on the mountain master's seal, and stamped Li Yuan's mark instead.
At this moment, Li Yuan is no longer just the Lord of Qianshan, but also the uncrowned lord of the mountain tribe who has not yet inherited the throne but possesses some of the rights of a mountain master.
Such trust also shocked the immortals in heaven.
Yuankui Xingjun of Xingshen Palace and Qianshanjun of Shanbu.
In the two important departments of the Heavenly Court, Li Yuan has become a being second only to the emperor and above all the immortals.
Trusted by many great men in heaven, valued by the Queen Mother, cared for by Laojun, and loved by Xuanlong Tianfu Zhenjun...
It also sent a lot of fresh blood into the Heavenly Palace, which may become an indispensable force in the future.
No one can stop this brilliantly rising sun. Once it fully enters the realm of great power, it will be the rise of another giant in the heavens!
While the immortals were shocked, they also understood one thing - in Heaven and even in the Three Realms, the era belonging to Li Yuan was coming!
Regardless of whether the disaster will continue a hundred years later, this trend is already difficult to resist, unless Li Yuan dies in the disaster!
Such a "big thorn" who hates evil and does not tolerate corruption will be the nightmare of these immortal gods who are doing things in secret!
'We can no longer wait in Heaven, we must escape as soon as possible...'
Some gods in heaven who knew that danger was approaching did not defect to heaven during the catastrophe, but they did dirty and corrupt things in secret and were preparing to find a way out for themselves.
After receiving many rewards, he returned to Anshan on earth from heaven.
Li Yuan was not complacent about anything.
More positions and higher status also mean heavier responsibilities. He must continue to strengthen himself until he is able to shoulder it all and live up to everyone's trust.
After Li Yuan returned to Anshan, he immersed himself in nuclear research again, and occasionally worked with Xuanyin to find something to restrain the strange creatures.
Tian Yao has been out fighting a few times recently, specifically targeting those hidden forces and plundering a lot of resources for Anshan.
There was also a small hidden force that sent people up the mountain, not for revenge, but to cry to Li Yuan about their innocence.
The man was very shy and would tremble whenever he saw anyone, as if he felt any living creature would attack him.
"Dear Immortal Li Yuan of Anshan, we are wronged. We are not those guys who caused the rebellion. We just stayed in the secret realm honestly, but the dog Tianyao..."
Halfway through his speech, the celestial demon standing next to Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.
The man cried and quickly changed his words: "As a result, Lord Tianyao passed through our secret realm and 'accidentally' took away some 'predestined things'. We have no resources left, so we have to come here to beg for mercy..."
The celestial demon snorted delicately from his nose, obviously having trained and intimidated this small hidden force.
Looking at the crying party, Li Yuan also had a headache: "Words are not enough, I will send someone to investigate. If you really haven't done anything bad, I won't bully you for nothing..."
They will not tolerate evil enemies, but they will not bully innocent people for no reason.
If this matter was in the hands of someone else, Li Yuan would definitely suspect that the other party was lying, but Brother Tian Yao was easily distracted, so Li Yuan had to wonder if the other party was simply being harmed...
As expected, when the man walked away timidly, Tian Yao rubbed his hands thievingly: "It was indeed easy to rob, who told them that the secret place was not well guarded..."
"I've heard of this group of people. They are a socially anxious sect. They have never appeared in the world since ancient times. They run away when they see people. They have strong paranoia, but their skills are very good..."
Li Yuan was at a loss for words and could only arrange some goodwill contacts later and try to get the other party to help him.
