Chapter 469: No Righteousness or Evil in the Chaos, Manage the Order of the Realms Again

　　Everyone discussed it for a while. They focused on talking about the future of the eldritch world. They created a general plan on how to manage the three realms.

　　Li Nianfan could not believe he participated in such an awesome meeting.

　　Goddess Nuwa on his left, the Jade Emperor and the Empress on his right. They were talking about the fate of the people and the fate of the realms. How amazing it was.

　　He was not a powerful cultivator, but thankfully, he had vision. He constantly gave great advice.

　　The Jade Emperor and the others could not wait. They got up and said their farewells.

　　They left the four-part architecture. Goddess Nuwa instantly asked with curiosity, “Did you guys capture Qiongqi for the expert?”

　　Yang Jing nodded. Then, he said, “You don’t know it yet, Empress Nuwa. The expert’s a big fan of poultry. He also gave us a cookbook. Qiongqi was the first on the list.”

　　Goddess Nuwa was instantly intrigued. She asked, “Oh? Really? Let me have a look at the cookbook.”

　　Her first reaction was to look for opportunities to repay the expert.

　　It was rare that the expert wanted anything at all. She had to perfectly execute all the possible tasks. Moreover, for someone like the expert, he should not have to hunt on his own. It was their time to shine!

　　“Don’t worry, Empress. The cookbook’s in me! Look!” Yang Jing opened his third eye again and projected the powerpoint slide.

　　Goddess Nuwa looked at the beasts that flashed by. She gradually looked serious. She sighed in the end and frowned, “I should’ve known. The expert’s cookbook isn’t that easy.”

　　The Jade Emperor immediately asked, “You’re very knowledgeable, Empress. Do you recognize any beasts in the cookbook?”

　　“I’ve heard about a lot of them in the Chaos.”

　　Goddess Nuwa nodded. She said sternly, “I suffered after stepping into the path of a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. I wandered around in the Chaos, and in the end, I could only venture into other worlds to seek for Dao. Unfortunately, I was discovered. I’ve heard of some of the beasts in that world.”

　　The Jade Emperor and the others nodded. “As expected. The beasts aren’t limited to the eldritch world!”

　　“The expert has such a broad worldview. How could he limit himself to the eldritch world?”

　　Goddess Nuwa had to smile bitterly. She shook her head. Then, she said in a low voice, “According to my knowledge, the Taotie mentioned in the cookbook is famous in the Chaos!”

　　“Taotie?”

　　Everyone was puzzled. They were also amazed.

　　The Chaos was endless and magnificent. Even Saints had to be careful when they wandered in the Chaos. How awesome must Taotie be to be famous in the Chaos?

　　Goddess Nuwa said, “Taotie can devour anything. It can eat endlessly and devour realms! Actually… It’s much like Styx Laozu, except it succeeded and Styx Laozu failed.”

　　The Jade Emperor was shocked. “It…successfully escaped Fate?”

　　Goddess Nuwa nodded. Then, she said, “The Chaos is vast with countless worlds. Opportunities are everywhere. Anything’s possible. Taotie went for the slaughtering route. It somehow devoured worlds and realms! It’s not a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. It’s a next-level beast that’s incomprehensible!”

　　As she spoke, she also felt emotions in her heart.

　　She thought to herself, ‘Anything’s possible in the vast Chaos. Who would’ve thought that a super-powerful being would arrive in our eldritch world? Moreover, Taotie loves devouring flawed worlds in the Chaos. If Taotie discovers our eldritch world, we’ll surely become food.

　　‘However… Someone in our eldritch world sees Taotie as food.

　　‘Things do change all the time. It’s a dog eat dog world.’

　　“Yikes—”

　　The Jade Emperor and the others gasped. They felt dizzy.

　　‘Devour realms? This Taotie…is so scary.’

　　They also thought of the Styx Laozu. If the expert did not help them, Styx Laozu probably would have succeeded. Styx Laozu might not be able to devour realms but he could become a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal.

　　The Jade Emperor exclaimed, “The vast Chaos is so unimaginable. Styx Laozu was such a visionary.”

　　The Empress frowned. “If Styx Laozu succeeded, the people would’ve suffered. It would be such a massacre. That’s so evil.”

　　“The rules of nature have no rights or wrongs. Only the strong and the weak. To us, it’s evil. To him, it’s just the emotions of insects.”

　　Goddess Nuwa wandered in the Chaos for a long time. She fully understood that lesson. She said bitterly, “The realm created countless lives, then it kills all its creation. Is that righteous or evil?

　　“In the eyes of powerful beings, what’s the difference between millions of lives and insects? You cross the road and step on an ant. Are you considered evil?”

　　Everyone went silent.

　　Her words instantly enlightened them.

　　Goddess Nuwa continued, “The Absolute Era. The banishment of Saints. The sealing of anyone stronger than Daluo Golden Immortals. The weakened Spiritual Qi. It’s all for the eldritch world. We have to weaken its presence. We became insects. After all… No one would seek an anthill to kill it.”

　　“I see.”

　　The Jade Emperor and the others processed everything they heard that day.

　　“Oh yeah, the expert gave us hope but we must keep a low profile!”

　　Goddess Nuwa said, “Don’t make moves if you’re stronger than a Daluo Golden Immortal. Lessen our risk of being discovered. Just live the quiet life, it’s the safe way to go!”

　　Hopefully, anyone that knew about the location of the eldritch world had died. They might be able to hide and live.

　　The Jade Emperor kept nodding. “Yes. I shall give orders to seal the powers of anyone stronger than a Daluo Golden Immortal.”

　　The eldritch world was exposed. They would have continuous troubles. If it disturbed the expert, they would be in big trouble!

　　‘We have to train ourselves to be stronger! Also…we have to help the expert with the cookbook’s delicious meat!’

　　The Jade Emperor said, “Oh yeah, Goddess Nuwa, the expert also told us about our world. It’s very mysterious and fascinating. I think it might be the route of a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal.”

　　Goddess Nuwa instantly breathed heavily. “Really? Quick, show me!”

　　…

　　Then, the realm was at peace again. Everything was running smoothly.

　　At least it was generally peaceful. The evil forces were either destroyed or had died down. They did not dare to cause havoc anymore. Even the Demons were quiet.

　　The Heavenly Palace had shown its capabilities after all the incidents. The Underworld was also respected.

　　Things were peaceful in most areas.

　　The new members of the Heavenly Palace were worth mentioning. They went from rough recruitment to recruiting elites.

　　The new recruits were required to pass a test or had to have achievements and experiences.

　　The test was mainly divided into two parts. One of them was to test their skills. The other test was to check their Deluxe Merit. They could not be sinful.

　　Li Nianfan suggested that they should run the tests like an exam. They set up the test location. As for position titles, the cultivators were required to battle it out. The powerful cultivators were required to take a sin check test along with a background check.

　　The Heavenly Palace was extremely busy. They had all sorts of test locations and recruitment battles. Li Nianfan naturally participated in watching. He gained a lot of knowledge from it.

　　The battles of the cultivators were not just ground-breaking, they were literally star-shattering. It was wild and exciting. Li Nianfan had a great time.

　　The ordinary cultivators could only start from the bottom.

　　Immortals were differentiated into Earth Immortals, Ghost Immortals, Human Immortals, and Heavenly Immortals.

　　The Heavenly Immortals were the guards and soldiers of the Heavenly Palace. The Ghost Immortals ran the City God Temple and the Underworld. The Earth Immortals managed the mountains, like the Mountain God, God of Soil and Ground. Human Immortals were honestly just random cultivators. They were kind of like freelancers.

　　Earth Immortals and Human Immortals had the chance to gain Deluxe Merit through work. If they experienced a sudden burst of power with their potential, they could gain Deluxe Merit through a promotion. They could then be promoted to a Heavenly Immortal.

　　Time slipped away. Three months had passed.

　　The three realms of the eldritch world were peaceful. The Heavenly Palace, the Underworld, the Demons, the Dragons, and the Kirins were all training to become better cultivators. They seemed to be in a rush to strengthen their forces.

　　“What’s with the rush? They finally get peaceful days and they spend it on cultivating?” Li Nianfan had to shake his head. He did not understand.

　　‘The villains are dead. Even Styx Laozu’s goners. The world’s at peace again. Why not take a vacation? Do they like to cultivate? Are there any more threats?’

　　It was a sign that the three realms would gradually improve.

　　However, Daji and Fire Phoenix went away to train the Demons. He felt lonely.

　　‘But I can’t keep asking them to stay and play with me.’

　　Li Nianfan finally sighed. “They all have cultivation goals except for me. My life’s so boring. I’m so envious!”

　　Nanan was at the side. She looked at Li Nianfan with her innocent eyes and blinked.

　　‘Brother. Stop joking.

　　‘You don’t have goals because you’ve reached maximum capacity in cultivation. We’re not the same. Our cultivation is pretty low-level…

　　‘How can we defeat others without training?

　　‘We want to live your boring life, too. But we can’t!’

　　Li Nianfan looked at the World Map. He made a decision. He said, “Whatever. It’s so boring to stay in the four-part architecture. I should travel and visit the places in ‘Journey to the West’!”

　　Those places were just famous tourist attractions to Li Nianfan.
