My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 514 The former dynasty is rising from the ashes? What a pity for Li Wei, such a loyal and virtuous man.

Have I also violated the heavenly law?!

Is this also a violation of the Heavenly Laws?

Heavenly Laws?

Shang Hao's words struck Bi Jian like a thunderbolt, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. He immediately knelt down in terror and cried out, "Your Majesty!! I had no such intention!"

[Heh heh heh, if it's not wickedness, then it's stupidity! After all, such a large sum of money, do you really think Li Wei could just take it all without the Heavenly Court's permission?]

You didn't even carefully check his registered capital documents, and you were blinded by those funds?

I remember you weren't this stupid before!

The Supreme Emperor suddenly leaned closer, observing His expression as he spoke in a strange tone:

Could it be that your father is going through a series of calamities?

[He didn't give us an application; he just wanted to sneak into Daluo?]

Bi Jian was stunned for a moment, then his expression instantly turned quite ugly. He managed to force a stiff smile and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know, but my father is only at the Golden Immortal realm, not even at its peak, so..."

The Supreme Heavenly Emperor stared intently into his eyes, as if looking at prey that had fallen into a trap: "Oh? Perhaps I'm overthinking it? But in your situation, if it's not one of the Three Calamities and Nine Disasters, then it's a great calamity!"

【My dear minister Bi Jian, have you already been shrouded in calamity and are about to face it?】

"I'm really worried about you."

Bi Jian felt as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake, and hurriedly said, trembling slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will be more careful from now on."

Go down.

【Yes! 】

A distraught Bi Jian left the Lingxiao Palace.

The Supreme Heavenly Emperor watched as this ancient God of Wealth from the Investiture of the Gods era departed.
After He had walked away, Shang Hao's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression. He said, "Go and find out what Bigan has been up to lately!"

Meng Shifei chuckled and took out a record from his pocket:
[Your Majesty, I have been prepared! Recently, Lord Zhao Gongming was captured by the Nine Sages of the Heretical Path, so Lord Bigan had to take over the duties of Minister of Finance, and spends his days in the Minister of Finance's office processing documents.]

But what about efficiency?

[Hehehe, right now all the data from the Yuan Dao Law System of the entire Three Realms is being gathered to Him. He must be exhausted, which is why his processing efficiency is even worse than mine!]

[It's been several days now. I wonder if Lord Bigan has rested well. If he has, I wonder what he's been busy with.]

The Supreme Emperor laughed, but his laughter was chilling, and his eyes turned cruel: "Bi Gan, Bi Gan, what can I say about you?"

[You want to enter the Great Luo Realm without even informing me or the Three Pure Ones?]

It seems even the most calamities aren't going to let you have it so easy; they've specifically used your son to deliver the message to us...

The Nine Tribulations use worldly relationships as a constraint, dragging you once again into the quagmire of human emotions, making each one more disgusting than the last. Among all the Nine Tribulations, two are universally acknowledged as the most nauseating.
One of them was that his parents blocked his way, saying, "Old Deng is making a scene."

The second difficulty is the entanglement of love and affection, also known as "filial sons ruining their fathers." If you have a son, your own son will ruin you; if you don't have a son, the tribulations of three calamities and nine disasters will create a son for you to ruin you. In short, they will ruin you without any mercy.

This time, Bi Jiancha Liwei actually traced his investigation back to the Supreme Emperor of Heaven. Not only did he fail to obtain the money, but he also exposed his father's secret of secretly undergoing the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.

It's like losing both the sesame seeds and the watermelon.

This is absolutely outrageous!
Laozi, the Supreme Lord, appeared in the Lingxiao Palace at some unknown time, and said with a solemn expression:

[Back then, the Great Shang Dynasty and the Black Bird combined their powers, using the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to alter the world, thus establishing their dominance over heaven and earth and becoming the king of an era in the Three Realms.]

Unfortunately, no matter what kind of power it is, it will become corrupt and decadent over time. Therefore, towards the end of the Shang Dynasty, the internal power struggles within the Shang Dynasty intensified, and the conflicts between the various factions of the Xuan Niao clan also escalated.

[Therefore, our Chan Sect's Jade Void Palace seized the opportunity and, through nearly ten thousand years of continuous persuasion, finally succeeded in persuading the Phoenix Clan, the noblest among the Black Birds, to break away from the Black Birds and relocate the entire clan to Mount Qi!]

Thus, the phoenix's cry echoed across Mount Qi, causing the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty to split. Coupled with the arrival of the Investiture of the Gods, this ultimately led to the downfall of the Shang Dynasty, the overlord of heaven and earth!

But even a centipede, though dead, does not fall down!

Although we captured Chaoge and killed King Zhou of Shang, we were powerless to wipe out all the remaining forces of the Shang Dynasty.

Therefore, to avoid further sacrifices, we brought Bi Gan and other former officials of the Shang Dynasty into the Heavenly Court, ending that great calamity through amnesty!

[Later, much like how we dealt with the dragons, we gradually absorbed the remaining power of the Shang Dynasty over seven versions, corrupting the vast majority of them and turning them into our own.]

[But Bi Gan remains a core representative of the previous dynasty's power and a continuation of the Shang dynasty's bloodline. His secret attempt to break through to the Great Luo realm suggests that the previous dynasty's power may have secretly resurfaced!]

The history before the Investiture of the Gods has long been deliberately erased, and there are very few records in historical books, so even Shanghao was hearing these secrets for the first time.

So He tested Him:

[How does the Supreme Lord intend to deal with Bi Gan?]

Laozi smiled slightly: "You are the Heavenly Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms; naturally, you should make the decisions."

After a moment of contemplation, Shang Hao quickly smiled and said, "Didn't Ge Hong report that he needed help to rescue the Plague Emperor? Send Bigan along, and don't let him return."

[As for the Ministry of Finance matter, Meng is a fraud!]

Meng Shifei's heart skipped a beat. He immediately bowed and knelt, his voice trembling as he said, "Your subject is here." "Try to shoulder the burden of the Vice Minister of Finance! If you can withstand the pressure of the position, you can pursue the path of entering the Dao through divine office, gain the approval of the Heavenly Court's Yuan Dao Laws, and cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm in a short time."

But what if you can't handle it?

The Supreme Heavenly Emperor looked deeply at Him and said, "I cannot save you either, do you understand?"

Meng Shifei's vision blurred, and tears streamed down his face as he repeatedly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you so much for Your Majesty's grace! I could never repay you, even with my life!"

Shang Hao smiled slightly and turned to ask, "Laojun, do you approve of this arrangement?"

Laozi has disappeared without a trace.

[Ha! That old thing is getting more and more elusive. What are they plotting this time, what are they writing?]

Meng Shifei wiped away his tears, adopting a sycophantic demeanor, and said, "No matter what they're plotting, they can't escape His Majesty's discerning eyes. As long as we control the Lingxiao Palace, we'll eventually see through their schemes."

[Hehehe, you're mistaken! Even if the Lingxiao Palace exists, I don't know everything, after all, not a single person within the Lingxiao Palace obeys my Heavenly Law!]

The Supreme Emperor walked to the window, looked at the Three Realms, and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "This is the Heavenly Court. It controls the Heavenly Dao but doesn't have its approval. It seems powerful, but in reality, it's already rotten and divided internally."

The Dragon Clan, the Xuan Bird lineage of the previous dynasty, the Chan Sect, and the Jie Sect—each faction has its own agenda.

The newly arrived gods are also restless, with environmentalists, gender diversity, various martial arts factions, mutant groups, and those advocating against a celestial court—each has their own demands!

[Plus this great calamity of heaven and earth.]

[Alas! Mere calamities and tribulations are enough to make an old monster like Bijian become foolish. If I were to face a great calamity, would I also become foolish?]

[Right and wrong, do you think I can reach the other side?]

Meng Shifei looked deeply into Shang Hao's eyes: "Your Majesty, we can definitely do it! After all, the previous crisis stemmed from a lack of capable personnel. Now, the five hundred deities you personally selected have ascended, filling our biggest weakness!"

[Next, as long as we firmly grasp financial and military power, we can erode the various departments while simultaneously slaughtering those who resist us. Sooner or later, the Heavenly Court will be ours.]

The Supreme Emperor Haotian said calmly, "I hope so! But don't forget, after the dark web developed the cultivation-based payment system, the game logic of wealth and power has changed!"

Whoever controls cultivation truly controls wealth.

Therefore, the key is still Livy. Only by using him can we reform our existing educational system and reshape the foundation of our spiritual practice.

Meng Shifei immediately laughed heartily: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Every penny he handles, every piece of material for a Law Base he purchases, bears our mark."

Now we're just waiting for him to ascend!

At this point, Meng Shifei suddenly became worried and said, "However, it seems that Lord Ge Hong wants to include him in the team to rescue the Plague Emperor. What if something happens to him when we get to the Dragon Slave Kingdom?"

[Hehehe, even if something happens to you, nothing will happen to him.]

Shanghao looked into the distance and said, "If the Three Pure Ones want to use him to obtain the Tribulation Dao entry, they must send him into tribulation and make him go through various adventures, but they cannot let him die!"

[Plus, there's the existence of Confucius.]

[Heh! Even I can't fathom how much of a script this kid has up his sleeve right now. Anyway, let's keep him around for now. Once he's fattened up, someone will naturally help us kill him.]

It's such a pity to lose such a loyal and virtuous person!

"Ah sneeze!!"

Li Wei, who was in the mortal realm, couldn't help but sneeze and rubbed his nose nervously.

The Heavenly Dao 0.81 system chimed in from the side: "Master, you've heard the echo of destiny again?"

"Hmm! It seems like someone was calling my name just now, and it was someone I know, so I accidentally overheard something."

Li Wei raised his head and looked up at the heavens: "It seems that someone is praising me as a loyal and virtuous person. However, it seems that He feels sorry for me and is also looking forward to my ascension. I have an extremely complicated feeling."

Ha! You could count those kinds of people on one hand.

Heavenly Dao 0.81 sneered: "Don't worry, Master! Those who manipulate fate will inevitably be devoured by it. Don't be fooled by their status as top directors and screenwriters."

But there are always variables in life!

[Didn't we already plant the key variable in the Heavenly Court?]

Li Wei smiled upon hearing this.

Yes.

It was planted a long time ago.

Moreover, he could sense that as his own law system continued to expand, that seed was already taking root and sprouting!

A surge of heroic spirit welled up within him, and Li Wei suddenly spread his arms wide, standing on this earthly land, pointing towards the heavens like a frog at the bottom of a well, and said:
"System, look!"

"Our stars have already been shining upon the world!"

Within the core of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Court, the most dazzling, largest, and most prosperous crimson star flickered slightly, as if responding to 'He'.
