Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 392 The Demon Court is established!
Sun Wukong sat firmly on the dragon throne in the Lingxiao Palace, looking around with sharp eyes.

The once magnificent palace is now in ruins, with cracks on the walls, glazed tiles scattered all over the ground, and the broken pillars still filled with the aftermath of demonic energy and immortal power.

He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, as if feeling the breath of heaven remaining in the ruins, then opened his eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Bros!"

Sun Wukong's voice was low but loud, echoing in the hall.

"Today, our demon race has finally turned the tables, but the corruption of the Heavenly Court has not been completely eliminated, and the order of the three realms is still in chaos..."

"From now on, this is no longer the Lingxiao Palace, but the 'Qitian Palace' of our demon race!"

Upon hearing this, all the demons in the hall knelt down and shouted:
"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven! The Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

The sound was earth-shaking and the evil spirit soared to the sky.

Sun Wukong raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and his eyes fell on the Bull Demon King:
"Brother, your proposal to hold a grand banquet is exactly what I want. Pass the order down and hold a banquet in the Qitian Palace in three days. Invite all the demon kings in the three realms to come and celebrate together!"

The Bull Demon King grinned and clasped his fists together.

He turned and walked away, shouting:

"Brothers, follow me to prepare a banquet. We must let all three realms know that today is our world!"

Sun Wukong watched the Bull Demon King leave, then looked at Yang Jian and Nezha who were silent on the side, and nodded slightly:

"Yang Jian, Nezha, thanks to your help, from now on, I ask you to join hands in ruling the Heavenly Court to ensure that the Three Realms can have true peace!"

Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other and clasped their fists at the same time.

"The destruction of Heaven is just the beginning. How we govern the Three Realms next is the big problem."

Sun Wukong smiled faintly, his eyes deep:

"You are right. The old order of heaven has been broken. We must establish a new order with our own hands. I will discuss this matter with my brothers later. Today, we will first reward them according to their merits."

The monsters received their rewards, their faces filled with joy, and they all retired from their busy work.

In the Lingxiao Palace, only Sun Wukong and a few of his trusted brothers were left.

"Seventh brother, although the remaining enemies in Heaven have been wiped out, there are still many hidden dangers in the Three Realms."

The Jiao Demon King walked forward, speaking in a low voice.

"Especially the underworld, which controls reincarnation. If we can't control it, I'm afraid it will affect our plans."

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed coldly and he nodded slightly:

"The underworld is indeed a hidden danger. Second brother, you should go to the underworld immediately. If they are willing to surrender, then recruit them!"

The Dragon Demon King clasped his fists and accepted the order, then turned into a black shadow and disappeared outside the palace.

Sun Wukong stood up and walked slowly to the broken palace door, overlooking the ruined heavenly buildings below.

Amid the clouds and mist, one could vaguely see the fleeing heavenly soldiers and generals. In the distance, several palaces had been occupied by demon soldiers and were filled with demonic aura.

"Monkey, how do we establish a new order next?"

Yang Jian walked up to him, his tone calm yet with a hint of inquiry.

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"Although the old system of the Heavenly Court is corrupt, there are also aspects that can be learned from it. We might as well follow the example of the Heavenly Court, enfeoff the remaining demons and immortals, set up the Demon Court, and maintain peace in the three realms."

Nezha heard this and nodded slightly:
"Yes, this way, we can not only consolidate our power, but also appease the sentient beings in the three realms, so as to avoid causing greater chaos."

Sun Wukong also nodded, his eyes firm:
"This matter needs to be discussed carefully and thoroughly. Although we won today, if we are not careful, we may end up like the Heavenly Court."

Sun Wukong sat on the dragon throne with a deep gaze. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at the Monkey King beside him:
"Fifth brother, please be responsible for cleaning up and tidying up the palaces in the Heavenly Palace. Make sure it is completed within three days and prepare for the banquet."

The Monkey King grinned, with a gleam in his eyes:
"Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I will make sure everything is arranged properly!"

The Monkey King took the order and left. He shook his cloak as he turned around and walked out of the hall with steady steps.

A group of demon soldiers had already gathered outside the palace. When they saw the Monkey King coming out, they all bowed their heads and saluted.

The Monkey King waved his hand and said in a loud voice:

"Brothers, listen up! Clean up all the palaces in the Heavenly Palace immediately and make them look brand new within three days! Whoever completes the task first will be rewarded with a magical weapon!"

Upon hearing this, the demon soldiers' morale was boosted and they responded in unison:

"As ordered!"

Then they quickly dispersed and ran to different places in the Heavenly Palace.

The Monkey King nodded with satisfaction, put his hands behind his back, looked around at the ruined palace, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:

"The style of this heavenly palace is somewhat inconsistent with the temperament of our demon race. We need to make some changes."

At the same time, after receiving a message from Sun Wukong, Demon King Peng quickly walked into the hall and asked:

"Seventh brother, what do you want from me?"

Sun Wukong stood up from the dragon chair and walked to the front of Peng Demon King, his eyes were as sharp as torches:
"Third brother, you are proficient in formations. Although the defense formation of the Heavenly Court has been broken, the remnants of the Heavenly Court are still there. We must be on guard."

"Can you completely transform the Heavenly Court's defensive formation into a demon clan formation? It must be extremely solid to prevent them from counterattacking."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Demon King Peng:
"Don't worry, I will do my best to complete the transformation of the formation within three days!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, his figure disappearing outside the hall like the wind.

As Demon King Peng walked, he quickly deduced the arrangement of the formation in his mind and muttered to himself:
"The Heavenly Court's formation is based on immortal energy, and my demon clan's formation is based on demon energy. The two must be integrated to make it both strong and flexible."

Sun Wukong watched Peng Demon King leave, then turned to look at Nezha and Yang Jian standing beside him, with a smile on his face:
"Nezha, Yang Jian, the Heaven Palace has been destroyed, but the order of the three realms is still chaotic. If there are no clear laws of heaven, I am afraid that there will still be chaos in the future..."

"I propose that we jointly formulate new laws and abolish those unreasonable old rules. How about that?"

When Nezha heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He gently waved the Fire Spear in his hand and said with a smile:

"That's exactly what I want! Those outdated rules in Heaven should have been abolished long ago!"

Yang Jian looked calm and nodded slightly:

"Well, although the old Heavenly Rules are corrupt, they also have their merits. We might as well take their essence and discard their dross to formulate a new set of Heavenly Rules that can both restrain all living beings and maintain the order of the Three Realms."

Sun Wukong nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand. A huge jade table appeared out of thin air. On the table were writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and next to them were rolls of bamboo slips of the old heavenly rules.

The three of them sat around the table. Nezha couldn't wait to grab a scroll of bamboo slips, opened it, glanced at it, and frowned:

"What the hell is this? Immortals cannot have anything to do with the mortal world? Humph, this rule should have been abolished long ago! Immortals also came from the mortal world, why should they be separated from it?"

Yang Jian took the bamboo slips, read them carefully, and then nodded:
"Indeed. Not only that, the rule that demons are not allowed to enter the Heavenly Palace must also be abolished!"

Sun Wukong laughed loudly upon hearing this:
"Well said! From now on, all sentient beings in the three realms, whether immortals, demons, or humans, will be equal!"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the pen and wrote the four characters "All beings are equal" on the paper. His pen was vigorous and his handwriting was like a flying dragon and a dancing phoenix. Seeing Sun Wukong writing, Nezha also picked up the pen and wrote the six characters "Abolish the barriers between immortals and mortals" on the paper, and then handed the pen to Yang Jian:

“You come write too!”

Yang Jian smiled slightly, took the pen, thought for a moment, and wrote the four words "Three Realms Co-governance" on the paper.

He put down his pen and looked up at Sun Wukong:

"In addition to these, we also need to formulate some specific laws, such as how to restrain the power of practitioners, how to maintain the order of the three realms, and how to ensure the interests of all living beings."

Sun Wukong nodded:
"That's right. Why don't we start from the most basic and formulate them one by one."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a scroll of bamboo slips, flipped through them carefully, and then pointed to one of them and said:
"I think the rule 'Immortals cannot interfere in mortal affairs' can be retained, but it needs to be slightly modified. Immortals can interfere in mortal affairs, but they must mainly guide them and must not abuse their power, otherwise they will be severely punished."

Nezha agrees:

"Yes, if the power of immortals is abused, it will only make the mortal world more chaotic. We must formulate clear rules to restrain their behavior."

Yang Jian added:
"Not only that, we also need to set up a monitoring mechanism to ensure that the law is enforced. We can set up a 'Three Realms Monitoring Department', which will be jointly managed by the immortals, demons, and humans to supervise the three realms of sentient beings to abide by the law."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up:
"That's a good idea! The establishment of the Supervisory Department will not only ensure the fair enforcement of the law, but also promote the co-governance of the three realms."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a pen and wrote the words "Establish the Three Realms Supervisory Office" on the paper, and then added:

"The selection of the Supervisory Department must be fair and impartial, and must not have any selfish motives."

The three of them became more and more interested in each other and time passed by unknowingly.

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Wukong stood up, stretched himself, and said with a smile:

"Okay, today's discussion ends here. We will continue tomorrow. Nezha, Yang Jian, you are tired too. Go back and rest first."

Nezha yawned and waved his hand:

"Then I'll leave first and come back tomorrow!"

After he finished speaking, he strode out of the hall, carrying his lance.

Yang Jian stood up, straightened his robe, and bowed to Sun Wukong, saying:
"Farewell."

Sun Wukong watched the two of them leave, then sat back on the dragon chair, looking deeply at the paper covered with handwriting on the table, with a slight smile on his face:

"A new heavenly law, a new order, a new era for the Three Realms, starts from here."

Sun Wukong picked up a teacup on the table and took a sip. The tea had already gone cold.

He put down the teacup, rubbed his eyebrows, and felt a little tired.

Outside the palace came the sound of guards changing shifts, steady and regular, which made Sun Wukong feel a little relieved.

He stood up and walked to the window, pushed it open, and a cool breeze with the scent of night dew blew in, refreshing him.

The night sky was dotted with stars and the moon was high in the sky, no different from any other day, but Sun Wukong felt that the night was particularly peaceful tonight.

……

……

Day two.

In the Qitian Hall, the air was filled with evil spirits. Sun Wukong sat upright on the dragon throne, with his golden hoop leaning against the side of the chair, his eyes as sharp as torches.

The Bull Demon King, Peng Demon King, Jiao Demon King and other demon kings were on both sides, while Nezha and Yang Jian stood at the bottom of the steps with solemn expressions.

In the center of the hall, all the demon kings knelt down and bowed, their voices rang out like thunder:
"Meet the Monkey King!"

Sun Wukong raised his hand slightly, and said in a low and majestic voice:
"Stand up. I have summoned you all here today to announce that the old system of the Heavenly Court has been abolished and new Heavenly Laws are being formulated. From now on, the Three Realms will be centered around the Qitian Palace and the rule of the demon race will be established."

The Bull Demon King grinned, with a hint of pride in his eyes:
"Hahaha! Those corrupt rules in Heaven should have been abolished long ago."

Demon King Peng took a step forward:
"The defense formation of the Heavenly Palace has been transformed and reinforced with demonic energy. It is now as solid as a rock and no one can break it."

Sun Wukong nodded with satisfaction:

"I always trust Third Brother in his work. This formation is related to our foundation, and we must not let it fail."

Demon King Peng bowed his head and replied:
"Don't worry, this formation took a lot of effort, it's definitely solid."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the Jiao Demon King:
"Second brother, how is the progress of the underworld's recruitment?"

The Demon King Jiao took a step forward, his expression slightly solemn:

"Although the Ten Kings of Hell have not explicitly refused, they have not expressed their willingness to submit either, and are still taking a wait-and-see attitude."

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the dragon chair, and said after a moment's silence:

"The underworld is in charge of reincarnation, and this is a matter of great importance. Second brother, please continue to persuade him."

The Jiao Demon King clasped his fists and accepted the order:
"Understood! If the Ten Kings of Hell refuse to change their ways, they will be made to feel the power of the demon race!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand, signaling the Jiao Demon King to retreat, then stood up and looked around at the demon kings in the hall:
"In two days, the Qitian Palace will hold a celebration banquet. Everyone must be fully prepared. This banquet is not only to celebrate our victory, but also to announce to the three realms that the demon race has risen and the Heavenly Palace has been destroyed!"

All the demon kings responded in unison:
"I will obey the orders of the Great Sage!"

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, his eyes deep, as if he had seen that the three realms were under control. He turned and walked towards the back hall:

"Then let's break up."

Back in the back hall, Sun Wukong sat cross-legged on a cushion with a calm expression, but a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

He reached out and took out a few elixirs emitting a faint glow from his arms. They were the top-grade elixirs seized from Taishang Laojun.

The pill rolled slightly in the palm of his hand, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and put the elixir into his mouth without hesitation. The elixir melted in his mouth and a warm spiritual power quickly flowed through his body.

He closed his eyes slightly, clasped his hands together, and circulated his magic power to guide the spiritual power to his limbs and bones to consolidate his cultivation.

Time passed quietly during the meditation. Occasionally, the footsteps of patrolling demon soldiers could be heard outside the hall. The sound was steady and powerful, showing the majesty and order of the Qitian Hall.

Two days later, the Qitian Palace was decorated with lights and filled with evil spirits, but also with a festive atmosphere.

The demon kings from the three realms gathered together. Bull Demon King, Peng Demon King, Jiao Demon King and many other demon kings sat at the table, clinking glasses and laughing constantly.

As the glasses clinked, the demonic and immortal spirits intertwined, forming a unique scene.

Sun Wukong sat high up in the main seat, wearing a dragon robe and looking around at all the demon kings in the hall with a sharp gaze.

He raised his hand slightly, and the hall suddenly became quiet, with everyone's eyes focused on him.

Then, he stood up, gently waved the golden hoop in his hand, and pointed it at the demon kings in the hall:
"Today, I will enthrone all the demon kings, each of them will perform their duties and rule the three realms together!"
