Chapter 913: No Settlement Yet
Above the nine heavens, there is the Lingxiao Palace.
The Emperor of Heaven sat quietly on the throne with a dignified look on his face; the Queen Mother was the most beautiful and graceful woman in the world; the gods in the palace were waiting in silence.
Li Yuan wanted to go back to Anshan as soon as possible, but was stopped by the Emperor of Heaven, who asked him to wait until he had participated in the Heavenly Court meeting.
The palace is magnificent and splendid, with carved beams and painted pillars made of fairy gold and jade. It is full of fairy spirit and shining with light.
"Since the end of the catastrophe, the strength of the Heavenly Court has been greatly reduced, and there is a shortage of personnel."
"I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
The voice of the Emperor of Heaven shook the sky, and there was infinite glory on his body.
However, the gods in heaven raised their heads, their faces filled with dullness and disbelief, and did not respond for a while.
They looked at the strange yet familiar figure of a young man standing beside the throne of the Emperor of Heaven and on the other side of Laojun, and their hearts were filled with shock beyond words.
Li Yuan...Yuan Zun?!
Yuan Zun didn't fall? !
The gods had complicated looks and stood there for a moment, not knowing how to react.
The Emperor of Heaven looked at the gods, glanced at Li Yuan, and his expression became somewhat playful, as if with a hint of sneer.
"Why, are you surprised to see Yuan Zun?"
As the Emperor of Heaven, how could he not know that many things had happened in the past few hundred years. There were beings deliberately manipulating the situation on earth, secretly encroaching on it, forcibly cutting off spiritual technology, and pulling all living things in the world back to the era where they had to worship immortals and gods in order to live in peace.
However, the Emperor of Heaven will not stop them. He is the master of the Three Realms. No matter how the times change or how the system innovates, it is still under his watch.
Be it the glory of immortals or the strength of spiritual science, as long as the foundation of all spirits remains, he can accept it and give support.
The long process of survival of the fittest or integration and progress naturally requires competition at all costs.
However, the Emperor of Heaven watched all this silently, and he just wanted to know, when Yuan Zun suddenly returned, how would those guys who were acting recklessly in the dark react?
As expected, although many of the gods in heaven did not show any major flaws in their expressions, their hearts were stimulated when they saw Yuan Zun, and their sudden trembling breath could not deceive anyone.
Li Yuangang paid his respects to the Queen Mother and greeted Laojun, Taibai Jinxing and other acquaintances.
At this moment, the Lingxiao Palace was silent, and he naturally noticed this. He sat beside the Emperor of Heaven, saying nothing, with a calm expression, showing no sign of sadness or joy.
Among the various departments of the Heavenly Court, the Star Department had already had many immortals and gods defecting, and suffered heavy casualties in the catastrophe. There were only a few stars and immortal officials left, and the number of personnel has been declining over the past few hundred years.
Shaoyang Star Lord is now leading the remaining immortals and gods of the Star God Palace together with the Moon God, trying to maintain the circulation of the stars in the sky, and is extremely exhausted.
After experiencing the pain of the destruction of the Wuji Secret Realm and fighting in several dangerous situations during the catastrophe, Shaoyang Star Lord became much quieter and no longer looked as energetic.
However, the moment he saw Li Yuan, Shaoyang Star Lord's eyes immediately turned red. He couldn't help but step forward excitedly and almost shouted out.
Even the Moon God, who had lived in the Star God Palace for a long time and had a cold and aloof personality, was quite touched. Emotions surged in her heart, as if she had found her backbone.
Li Yuan is not only Yuanzun, but also the leader of their Star God Palace - Yuankui Star Lord!
Ever since the great Tianxuan was seriously injured and disappeared for hundreds of years, the atmosphere in the Star God Palace has been depressed, and it is really relying on Shaoyang Star Lord and Moon Goddess to hold on.
Regardless of whether Yuankui Xingjun is in charge of the matter or not, as long as he is still alive and this identity has not been destroyed, the gods in heaven will not forget the brilliant figure who crushed the champion in the Sanyuan Conference that year. The Xingshen Palace will have a support and motivation!
There were also several members of the Yama tribe who were extremely excited and could not hide their surprise.
The previous Lord of Qianshan was killed and replaced by Li Yuan himself, and the Lord of Wanshan also fell in the calamity. Only a few Baishan Priests and mountain gods were left at the highest level of the mountain tribe. The situation was obviously declining, so how could they not be worried.
Now that Yuan Zun has returned, the few surviving members of the Baishan Festival have suddenly realized that the Shan tribe, which rarely supported Li Yuan in the past, still has to rely on this big thigh in the end!
The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains passed the Mountain Tribe's seal to Li Yuan before the great catastrophe, which obviously foreshadowed something.
Sitting slightly below the Emperor's throne, Li Yuan nodded to Shaoyang Star Lord and Moon Goddess from afar and smiled faintly.
The somewhat depressing atmosphere in the entire Lingxiao Palace instantly eased a lot.
He had just received a message from Shaoyang Star Lord, and learned that the big gray rat Zi Ling, who worked in the Star God Palace, had not died in the calamity and was still busy working in the Star Department. He felt relieved.
Yuan Zun smiled calmly, and the atmosphere in the entire Lingxiao Palace seemed to be relieved. The gods looked at each other and finally reacted.
"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven for receiving the full support of Yuan Zun. Our Heavenly Court will be glorious and immortal!"
"The return of Lord Yuanzun from Nirvana is a blessing for the three realms. We were so surprised and delighted that we lost our manners for a moment. I hope Lord Yuanzun will not blame us—"
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, hundreds of immortals and gods bowed in unison, flattering the Emperor of Heaven while also demonstrating the proper etiquette towards the Daozun Emperor.
Yuan Zun was sitting next to the Emperor of Heaven, standing alongside Laojun and Taibai Jinxing. He had a high status and would obviously become the Emperor of Heaven's right-hand man. No matter what they had done in secret before, they had to show due respect at this moment. If they made the slightest mistake, they would offend the two magnificent emperors!
The Emperor smiled faintly without saying anything, Yuan Zun also smiled gently, and everything seemed to be quite harmonious.
After making eye contact with the Emperor of Heaven for a moment and understanding the meaning in his eyes, Li Yuan stood up directly.
"I, Li Yuan, accept your congratulations, whether they are sincere or false."
His slightly sharp and dissatisfied words instantly frightened the gods in heaven, and some timid and cowardly gods even looked at the Emperor of Heaven for help.
As everyone knows, spiritual science originated from the Anshan area. Various technologies have improved people's livelihood and are praised by all spirits. Now the inheritance of spiritual science in the world is almost extinct. Not only has it cut off a certain trend of transformation, but it is also equivalent to wiping out the inheritance of Yuan Zun. Who would not be afraid of being held accountable for such a thing?
However, facing those anxious eyes asking for help, the Emperor of Heaven sat upright, drinking tea quietly with the Queen Mother without saying a word.
Li Yuan slowly walked down the platform and stood in the center of the Lingxiao Palace. He looked around at the gods with a calm expression.
The little mountain god, whose form was illusive back then, can now overlook the entire heaven with great majesty.
"Ling Xiao is brilliant, and the divine light is endless. I don't want to argue about some dark matters. People in this world will make their own choices."
"As for the affairs of the Heavenly Court, I hope you will do your best to help His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven resolve the problems."
"After all, the way of heaven does not support idle gods. Do you agree or not?"
Li Yuan set the tone with one sentence.
After all, he had just returned, and he was not very clear about what had happened in the past few hundred years. Without complete information, he would not rush into causing trouble.
Moreover, standing in this magnificent Lingxiao Palace, Yuan Zun gave face to the Heavenly Court. Considering the extreme shortage of manpower in the Heavenly Court, he temporarily did not settle accounts with those people in the dark.
Otherwise, because of the massive cleansing of corruption in Heaven, there would be too many vacancies in the priesthood, and a hole would appear in the order cycle of the Three Realms, which would be a bad thing.
Although the Emperor of Heaven could handle it alone, it was an emergency.
If the Lord of the Three Realms had to do everything personally, wouldn't it be an insult to his status as the Supreme Being of All Spirits and Emperor of Gods?
