The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 239 The Great Thief of the End Times, the Six Departments of Heaven

"Guang Chengzi???"

Yao Guang was terrified and nearly scared out of his wits.

He was not actually a human with an innate divine body, but a resurrected ancient god and demon who infiltrated the human world at the behest of the Queen Mother of the West. While gathering information on human powerhouses, he used the resources of mortals to give back to the Queen Mother of the West.

They thought Guang Chengzi was dead, but unexpectedly they saw Guang Chengzi's innate magic weapon.

"No, we must tell the Queen Mother about this."

Yao Guang felt a sense of vigilance, and a spark of light emerged from between his brows, flying into the distance.

Knowing he couldn't escape, he simply released a bit of his true spirit, intending to send the message to the Queen Mother of the West, who was in seclusion.

The human race is unusually united, and the appearance of Guang Chengzi means that the Five Emperors may follow closely behind.

In this era of weakened gods and demons, if Guang Chengzi and the others were to leave first, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unfortunately, the moment the true spirit flew out, it was captured by Liang Yue's thoughts.

On the other side, Ling Xuzi was shocked.

"Who is this?"

Such a powerful and invincible magic weapon exists? It's so irresistible that no one can resist it. Could it be the innate god or demon that Grand Tutor mentioned?

boom!
Before the two could process what was happening, the Heaven-Turning Seal struck down.

boom!
The ground trembled violently, thoughts enveloped the area, and illusions arose.

In everyone's eyes, Ling Xuzi fought desperately and managed to kill Yao Guang by sheer luck.

The White Cloud Imperial Capital inside the Fantian Seal.

The two were tied to the Bodhi tree.

Liang Yue paced back and forth, his double pupils scrutinizing the two of them.

At the same time, Yao Guang and Ling Xu Zi were also sizing up this stranger.

As experts in their respective fields, neither of them begged for mercy or resorted to insults. At this point, begging for mercy was futile; instead, they focused on the other's purpose.

"Double pupils, the Cloud God's talent, the Sun and Moon Celestial Being, the Peach Tree... So you're the Great Thief of the End of Dharma?"

What shocked Yao Guang even more was this place.

This is not Guang Chengzi, but the great thief of the end times, hated by all pantheons.

After the spiritual energy revival, the golden age that gods and demons had envisioned did not arrive. Instead, they were all severely weakened, and most could not even find their own divine kingdoms.

There are no Buzhou Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, or Penglai Mountain.

It must have been when the spiritual energy was extinguished that the five human emperors or other forces sabotaged each other.

The concept of the Great Thief of the End of Dharma originated from the Queen Mother of the West, and most gods and demons believe that the Great Thief of the End of Dharma is the culprit.

Things that Liang Yue never did were attributed to him, making him a rat that everyone hated and that was hunted by gods and demons.

"Are you the Undying Emperor?"

Just then, Lingxuzi said tremblingly.

Isn't double pupils the mark of an immortal emperor?

Legend has it that the primordial human race originated from an immortal emperor. I thought it was just an ancient legend, but unexpectedly, an immortal emperor actually appeared before my eyes.

"The Immortal Emperor?" Liang Yue was slightly taken aback. Was this a new nickname given to him by later generations?

Thinking of this, Ling Xuzi hurriedly said, "Undying Emperor, I am a disciple and grand-disciple of the Pure Yang Immortal. I am innocent."

"Don't rush, wait a moment."

Liang Yue looked into Yao Guang's eyes; the man's pupils were a deep blue, like flashing lightning.

Liang Yue stepped forward and asked, "Does the Cloud God bloodline also have Thunder Eyes?"

Yao Guang remained silent, quietly watching this guy who had stolen resources from the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom.

He knew his life was in danger, so why would he do anything to harm his own people?

This person is definitely a major enemy of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom.

The Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West is now reduced to only daring to parasitize the human race because of this guy.

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from the guy, Liang Yue decided to take matters into his own hands.

A ball of gentle summer fire flew out and instantly refined the person, leaving only a thumb-sized amount of blue blood in the void—this was the bloodline of the Thunder Eye.

At the same time, the double pupils emitted a suction force that devoured the thunder eye and transformed it into its own power.

This is one of the abilities of having double pupils.

Double pupils have two abilities: one is suppression, which can suppress others to a lower realm. The higher the realm of the user, the stronger the suppression.

The two of them just sat there waiting to die like ordinary people, not because they were scared out of their wits, but because they were suppressed by the double pupils and could not move.

This ability can even withstand attacks from stronger opponents.

Secondly, there is plunder, such as an emperor who possesses the entire world and plunders all the eye techniques in the world.

Currently, we already have the Heavenly Eye and the Thunder Eye; in the future, there may be even more pupil techniques.

After doing all this, Liang Yue looked at Ling Xuzi.

"Your Majesty, I am Ling Xuzi, the fourth generation leader of the Chunyang Sect..." Ling Xuzi was still thinking that the Undying Emperor would return and the Chunyang Sect would unify the country.

But Liang Yue's next words were like a bucket of cold water being poured on him.

“Ling Xuzi, you fought for the sake of your reputation, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands and affecting millions of people. You should be executed.” “This…” Ling Xuzi’s face stiffened, and he hurriedly explained, “The Chunyang Sect is a righteous sect, and I uphold the righteous path. I have never killed mortals without permission. What happened earlier was merely an incident caused by the fighting, and it was not my intention.”

"Besides, I am a seventh-level Golden Core cultivator; am I not even as valuable as a worthless mortal in His Majesty's eyes?"

“No.” Liang Yue shook his head and slowly uttered five words, “They are all worthless.”

Once he makes up his mind to change, it's no longer a matter of good or evil.

Ling Xuzi belonged to the beneficiaries of feudal cultivation. In the eyes of the Chunyang Sect, Ling Xuzi was a savior. He was kind and approachable, protected his disciples, treated his teachers well, and fought for the future of the sect.

But for the entire human race, it is an obstacle, just like the heads of aristocratic families during the Wei and Jin dynasties.

If Liang Yue wants to reform, then he must kill people.

Thinking of this, under Ling Xuzi's horrified gaze, he gently tapped the man's forehead.

Wow!
The barely perceptible lightning instantly annihilated the person's soul and injected its thoughts, seizing control of him.

Ling Xuzi's expression changed, his eyes softened, no longer filled with ambition, and he carried the ethereal quality of an enlightened master.

As night fell, the smoke of battle gradually dissipated.

"Master!!"

"Master, where are you?"

The members of the Chunyang Sect searched for Lingxuzi's whereabouts.

At this moment, the sword light reached the sky.

The golden pillar determines the distance of ten thousand miles of clouds.

"Master has broken through!"

Lingxuzi's three disciples showed surprise and delight.

Ling Xuzi slowly emerged from the golden light.

"Congratulations, Master, on your breakthrough! May you live a long and prosperous life, forever immortal!!!"

The three disciples, Xuan Ying, Xuan Ling, and Xuan Ming, stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

The master nodded slightly, giving off a very strange feeling, as if something was amiss.

That night, Lingxuzi summoned all his disciples and began a grand court assembly.

"First, disciples are not allowed to own private property; all income shall be turned over to the public and distributed uniformly."

"Second, establish the Hall of Miscellaneous Servants, release 90% of the maids and servants, and place all remaining servants under the unified command of the Hall of Miscellaneous Servants. Servants are not allowed to be affiliated with disciples."

"Third, we will strictly formulate the rules and regulations, and the detailed rules will be issued later."

When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

The others are fine, but the first one is simply against everyone's interests.

In the following months, a bloody storm swept through the Chunyang Sect.

Many disciples were deposed and sent down the mountain, including the eldest disciple Xuan Ying and the third disciple Xuan Ming, leaving only the second disciple, who had a relatively honest and simple personality.

The number of disciples has decreased by 30%.

For a time, everyone was in danger.

Wuya Palace.

An ordinary-looking young man with sallow skin stood in front of Ling Xuzi.

Xuanling looked at her master, who was no ordinary person, with trepidation.

"Master, what is the meaning behind everything you have done?"

You will find out later.

Lingxuzi, controlled by Liang Yue, said that Liang Yue's true form was cultivating in the forbidden area.

After saying that, Liang Yue handed Xuanling a booklet.

Xuanling opened the booklet, which contained the names of the Six Departments of Heaven.

"The Fighting Department: oversees all officials. The Thunder Department: in charge of punishment, slaying demons and monsters. The Plague Department: prays for the relief of plagues and diseases. The Rain Department and the Fire Department: farmland, water, fire, and climate. The Department of Administration: in charge of blessed lands and spiritual fields, folk taxes, and outstanding individuals among mortals."

Upon seeing this, Xuanling realized that her master had lofty ambitions.

"Master, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement."

Xuanling also mentioned the difficulty.

Cultivators only want to enjoy themselves; they wouldn't do these things.

"Everyone's duties are related to the distribution of wealth and land. Anyone who insists on disrupting this arrangement may be killed!!"

Liang Yue waved his hand, signaling Xuanling to leave.

The Six Ministries of Heaven are just the first step; there are countless more steps to come.

Implementing a new law is not difficult; all it takes is overwhelming force, which can be accomplished in two steps: First, introduce the new law. Second, kill the opponents.

Faced with overwhelming military force, there is no such thing as radicalism or non-radicalism.

After Xuanling left, Liang Yue went to the secret manual and opened the ancient book.

He wanted to see where Lü Dongbin and the others had gone.

The secret from eight hundred years ago is about to be revealed.
