Chapter 930 List
Heaven, the ninth heaven, Lingxiao Palace.
The gods are waiting and the immortals are welcoming you.
Amidst a dazzling golden light.
The Emperor of Heaven sat in the center, looking majestic; beside him was the Queen Mother, who was the most beautiful woman in the world, looking dignified and calm.
Looking further down, Laojun was sitting quietly on the cushion on the left with half-closed eyes; to the lower right of the Emperor of Heaven was the kind-faced Taibai Jinxing and the newly-appointed Yuanzun.
The gods in heaven stood on both sides with respectful expressions. They not only kowtowed to the Emperor of Heaven and Yuan Zun, but also bowed towards the center of the palace.
Because in the center of the Lingxiao Palace, there are two noble thrones, and on them sit two magnificent figures with brilliant light.
One of them is extremely beautiful, with a gentle look and a compassionate attitude towards all things. She is the Goddess of the Earth, the ruler of the human world.
One of them has a domineering temperament, cold eyes, and exudes a sinister and unruly aura. He is the Lord of the Underworld, the Emperor of the Netherworld.
Ever since the Nameless Emperor was imprisoned in the abyss of the Blood Prison in the underworld, bearing the complicated resentment of all living beings and carrying the overturned six reincarnations, the Underworld Emperor was finally able to escape from prison and come out to breathe.
This was a rare meeting throughout the ages. Since ancient times, the heavenly realm had not held such a grand meeting for millions of years.
Even the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference held more than a thousand years ago was only an internal activity of Heaven and Hell, and the only Taoist emperors who appeared were the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother.
However, for this Lingxiao meeting, the Emperor of Heaven specially invited the Mother Earth and the Underworld Emperor, and Yuan Zun also sat in the hall with a serious face.
The Emperor of Heaven, Queen Mother, Mother Earth, Emperor of the Underworld, and Origin Lord. At one meeting, five Dao Lords appeared at the same time!
Not to mention Laojun, Taibai and others, all the high-level officials of Heaven were present without any exception.
All the gods gathered, and the Taoist masters attended the meeting, all for that topic - a new round of deification and the beginning of a new era!
After the baptism of the catastrophe, the decadent tendencies in the three realms had been thoroughly eliminated. Although they had not completely disappeared, those that remained were no longer as rampant as before.
Nowadays, the gods and immortals in heaven are dying out, and the underworld is short of staff. Many gods and immortals have worked hard to maintain the natural cycle of the three realms. Now that the overall situation is gradually stabilizing, we can't delay any longer.
"Gentlemen, how is the list going? Have you found the right talents?
The Emperor of Heaven wore a golden crown and a white robe, with a dignified look. He swept his eyes across the Lingxiao Palace and spoke solemnly.
When Yuan Zun returned before, the gods in Heaven were assigned tasks. According to the vacancies in various departments of Heaven, they were to find and recommend suitable creatures in the Three Realms and include them in the preliminary list.
Now they have been given nearly ten years to prepare, and even the resource compensation promised by Hunyuan has been in place. The Three Realms have expanded the upper limit of the base number of 900 billion creatures, and have absorbed sixteen large star regions. They are about to usher in an era of great boom, so naturally this matter must be implemented as soon as possible.
In response to the Emperor's inquiry, the senior official of the Household Registration Department in Heaven who was responsible for recruiting fresh blood - the Immortal Nacai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, we have worked together and traveled all over the three realms. We have found hundreds of talents and have engraved them on this list. I hope Your Majesty and the other realm masters will take a look at them."
The recommendation lists of various departments are all summarized in the Household Registration Department. The head of the Household Registration Department has died in the catastrophe. Now all matters, big and small, are managed by the Immortal Na Cai. He has to secretly observe all the names on the list and preliminarily confirm their qualifications. He is very busy and under a lot of pressure.
Before the Lingxiao Conference started, he was still running around in the human world, and even went to Anshan, where he pulled Wang Shuo aside and tried to persuade him earnestly, hoping that the other party would go to heaven and become a god.
However, although there are many names of Anshan creatures and souls on the list, Wang Shuo's name is not on the list. Perhaps it is because the other party is too strong and it is difficult to arrange a suitable position for him at the moment.
A 'loose immortal' in the human world, whose strength is almost close to that of a half-step Taoist master, and who has such a close relationship with Yuan Zun and Tian Yao, the gods in heaven dare not make any arrangements for him at will.
Of course, in line with the idea of fulfilling his duties, the Immortal Nacai still hopes that Wang Shuo will join the Heavenly Court and strengthen the power of the Heavenly Court.
As for the Heavenly Demon... because the Great Immortal Nacai reached the top of the mountain with his left foot first, he disturbed the Heavenly Demon who was playing chess and was scared away by the Heavenly Demon's scolding.
At that time, Tian Yao was playing chess with Zhuge Laodeng. Because he was a bad chess player, he was only one step away from losing. The arrival of Na Cai Daxian gave Tian Yao an excuse to cheat. While Tian Yao was "angry", he directly overturned the chessboard, leaving Zhuge Laodeng in tears and laughter.
In fact, the Immortal Na Cai was not only looking for Tian Yao, he also wanted to communicate with Zhuge Laodeng, Xuan Chi and others. However, seeing Tian Yao's angry look, he ran away trembling.
The great master Na Cai felt bitter, but he didn't dare to say it.
Presenting the list to the fairy boy, Na Cai Daxian maintained a bowing posture and waited respectfully for the big guys' replies.
The fairy boy had red lips and white teeth, and was full of fairy spirit. He walked slowly and calmly, and his every move exuded an elegant and ethereal aura. He held the jade plate and gently placed the glowing list on the table in front of the Emperor of Heaven. Then he bowed and slowly backed away with the empty jade plate in his hand.
The Emperor of Heaven did not go to see it immediately, but glanced at the Lingxiao Palace again. Then another fairy waving a fan came out beside him, silently opened the paper, and began to read the list on it slowly.
"In the Fire Department, there are thirty-seven vacancies for priesthood positions, including: the Lord of the Fire Department, the Fire Element Immortal God, the Fire Virtue Star God (the Fire Virtue Star Lord of the Star Department), the Fire Spirit Immortal God... After consideration by the Fire Department gods, twenty-three talented people have been found."
"The phoenix of the Three Spirits True God, its feathers are like flames, its eyes are full of fire, originally a creature of Anshan, called Caiyu, who has undergone a great catastrophe and transformed... has great merits and is powerful... I suggest... that he be appointed as the leader of the Fire Department..."
"Human Xuanyin, originally from Anyue, learned from Yuanzun, created and researched how to avoid strange creatures, and protected millions of people, making it impossible for strange creatures to invade the Anshan area, and he is full of merits... We, the gods of the Fire Department, have thought carefully and found that this boy has a passionate character, is brave and sincere, so we suggest that he join the Fire Department and serve as the God of Fire..."
Some immortals from other departments gritted their teeth secretly: Damn! The Fire Department is trying to steal people!
Those talented people who performed outstandingly during the great catastrophe are naturally the targets of competition among various departments in the Heavenly Court, and duplicate recommendations are inevitable.
But this meeting is of great importance, and it almost represents the beginning of a new era. The final decision on the candidates for the vacancies in the clergy in various departments still lies with the Emperor of Heaven and several Taoist emperors.
The fairy continued to chant, her voice was clear and crisp, like the sound of a fairy spring, and it spread throughout the Lingxiao Palace. It was like listening to a heavenly song, and was quite pleasant to the ears.
Although some departments are competing secretly, they still appear calm and composed on the surface.
In the Lingxiao Palace, all the gods were silent, standing straight with serious expressions; the Earth Mother smiled, and the Hades also leaned back comfortably with his eyes narrowed, as if he approved of the etiquette process.
We are all immortal gods, so it would be more appealing to have some exquisite etiquette. This is reasonable.
At the lower right side of the Emperor's throne, only Li Yuan secretly curled his lips.
They just go through all these unnecessary superficial formalities. It's obviously just a few steps away and can be taken away by just waving your hand. Yet they have to ask a boy to deliver it and then let another fairy recite it. What a fallen heaven!
It's simply a waste of his time polishing the spiritual world!
Ever since Hunyuan paid the compensation, Li Yuan received the Mark of Ten Thousand Daos, which is a precious divine object that can completely upgrade the world and transform it into a greater realm.
He integrated the Ten Thousand Marks into the prototype of the spiritual world and was adjusting the environment to construct laws unique to the spiritual world. However, the Lingxiao Conference began and he had to stop and participate in the important events here.
However, listening to the fairies' chanting and hearing the names of his relatives and friends resounding through the sky, Li Yuan also felt proud of everyone, and had a smile on his face.
How to describe that expression... It's like a smile that says 'We Ansan are so cool', very exaggerated.
