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

Chapter 744 I have rendered meritorious service!
The Judgment of the Heavenly Emperor?

Since the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods and the establishment of the Heavenly Court, over a period of more than 100,000 years across seven versions,
Only the Heavenly Emperor who died in battle.

But I have never heard of a supreme being being judged!
This is undoubtedly unprecedented in history and has shattered many people's preconceived notions, making it seem both absurd and bizarre!
But then,

Beastmen, birds, insects—trillions of beings across the Three Realms couldn't help but get excited at this moment.

After all, people love a good show.

Even among the human race itself, countless lower-level cultivators couldn't help but look at Emperor Shanghao with resentment, their minds filled with malice.

—This is the person who started the war, divided the lower-level cultivators into six categories and nine ranks, and sent countless people to the battlefield to die!

Especially the time when Liangshanbo fell from the starry sky into the Central Plains, billions of cultivators died in one fell swoop.

Many of them have their own relatives, friends, children, and parents.

At this moment, these people practically wished for Hao's death!
Everything in this world comes at a price.

Since Shanghao desired to start a war and successfully dragged the world into a military-controlled version, plunging the Three Realms into chaos.

Therefore, He must naturally bear the wrath of all living beings!
After all, "only those who bear the stain of the nation can be the ruler of the state, and only those who bear the misfortune of the nation can be the king of the world."

As the nominal ruler of the Heavenly Court, Shanghao is always the primary scapegoat, whether during the Great Calamity or among all living beings!
But if we trace it back further...

You will find that the seeds of evil were sown from the very first day that the Heavenly Court established its version of the world.

After all, this was during the era of the Investiture of the Gods, and even during the era of Heavenly Dao 1.0 to 4.0.

All beings in the Three Realms still have a concept of family and country, and a sincere heart.

Therefore, even if the Heavenly Emperor is arrogant, extravagant, and licentious, he can still deceive the masses with the righteous cause, making everyone sacrifice and fight for the Heavenly Court.

However, after entering the Tiandao 6.0 era, everything is geared towards economic benefits.

The cultivators of the Three Realms began an era of universal cultivation where poverty was mocked but prostitution was not, and the gods used money and cultivation to corrupt people's hearts.

Especially with the formation of the "Divine Bloodline Class," lower-level cultivators lost their path to advancement.

They are all confined in the steel jungle, either as "cultivation animals" or as "cannon fodder." Even if they manage to earn a little cultivation, they still become the leeks harvested by the gods.

Modern cultivators have long lost the pride of being citizens of the Heavenly Court!

So what if the Heavenly Emperor is judged?

They wish all the gods were dead!
The rules are a public network.
As the protagonist being tried, Shang Hao was naturally also online and could clearly feel the overwhelming malice emanating from the internet.

His heart sank to the bottom.

He knew that from the moment Li Wei and Buddha connected all living beings and started this "live broadcast," his fate was already sealed!

But I'm not willing to accept it.

As the Heavenly Emperor, He is the ruler of the Three Realms, the most honorable person in heaven and earth, and even the Three Pure Ones must bow down to Him.

How could I allow a bunch of lowly people to judge me?!

brush! !

The entire live stream suddenly fell silent.

The eyes of all beings in the Three Realms suddenly turned cold.

Even some of the "pro-imperial" cultivators couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh helplessly:
"We originally thought that the chaos in the Three Realms was the fault of the gods, and that at least His Majesty was wise! But now..."

"Heh heh heh! So in His Majesty's eyes, we are also lowly people?"

"They really have the face of gods! No wonder those people from the divine blood families dare to bully us ordinary cultivators so arrogantly and disregard the heavenly rules."

As the thoughts of all beings fluctuated, countless bullet comments appeared in the air, streaking across the sky like a meteor shower before the Supreme Emperor.

His expression froze instantly, and his face contorted involuntarily: "Are you spying on my thoughts?"

Li Wei shook his head, somewhat disappointed, and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The Buddha was originally an enlightened being who cultivated his mind, and you have now entered the network of laws constructed by the Buddha's relics."

The saying goes, "Your appearance reflects your heart." In this area, nothing you can hide will be revealed; everything about you will be laid bare.

Only in this way can I judge you and let everyone see whether you deserve to die!

Li Wei's voice, like a resounding bell, instantly echoed throughout the three realms, demonstrating the justice of this trial to everyone.

After all, the law does not lie.

Therefore, countless people and gods, even the weakest Qi Refining Realm cultivators, can receive feedback from the public network of laws and clearly feel that what He said is true.

Therefore, all beings in the three realms became serious at this moment.

They have already sensed it.

This time, they are the judges, and they will judge the most noble people in the world!

This is a power that no one has ever given them before.

After all, "punishment does not extend to the true God."
Not to mention the true gods, no one dares to judge even those descendants of divine blood. Even if they are judged, they are only given a symbolic sentence of a few years, and they will be out soon.

What's more, this time the one being judged is the Heavenly Emperor?

Unconsciously, everyone felt as if a crisp sound came from their minds.

Something that has been deeply ingrained for a long time seems to have been broken!

Although it wasn't completely broken, a crack or a fissure appeared.
Let them know that even gods can be sinful!
Thus, apart from a small number of people who were completely unable to stand up, all other beings at this moment became "dignified and solemn".

It was as if he were a judge, standing on the shoulders of the law, looking down at the Supreme Emperor.

Shang Hao raised his head and seemed to see countless beings standing in the sky, filling the boundless sky, just like a sky composed of "all living beings"!
Those countless gazes of the common people are the eyes of Heaven.

It enveloped Him from above, causing Him to tremble uncontrollably, feeling as if He were a small boat in a storm, about to capsize at any moment.

The people can carry a boat, but they can also capsize it.
Hehehe, so in the end, I am going to die at the hands of these common people?
Stop joking!
Shang Hao arrogantly raised his head, dispelling all the fear in his mind, and coldly looked at the crowd in the sky, saying:
You traitors!!

[At the end of the Heavenly Dao 6.0 era, the sixth Heavenly Emperor died, the Heavenly Court was in decline, the Nine Sage Heretics ravaged the world, and the average immortal wealth index per capita was less than 4 yuan.]

[Since I ascended to the throne, in less than two thousand years, the Immortal Prosperity Index has increased fivefold! Now it's over 200,000 per capita!]

[Furthermore, prior to the Heavenly Dao 7.0 era, all cultivation techniques were controlled by powerful clans, and the right to cultivate was firmly held by the descendants of divine blood!]

[It was I who established the Selection of Religion, directly abolishing the inheritance of cultivation techniques in the Heavenly Laws, and extending the right to cultivation to everyone!]

This is something even the Jade Emperor couldn't accomplish!

The Heavenly Court abolished cultivation techniques during the Heavenly Dao 6.83 period. At that time, the sixth Heavenly Emperor had already passed away. Although Shang Hao had not yet succeeded to the throne, he was one of the important candidates for Heavenly Emperor and had the ability to influence the Heavenly Court's decisions.

And this reform was something He single-handedly pushed forward!

As a result, He gained a great deal of merit, and upon assuming the throne, He had abundant resources for governing the celestial realm, enabling Him to realize His greater ambitions.

Thinking of this, Shang Hao's face became even more ferocious, and he said angrily:
I have rendered meritorious service!

[It is I who have broken down the hierarchical system of cultivation, worked diligently to govern, reopened the immortal examinations, and revitalized the stock market.]

[In less than two thousand years, the per capita immortal resources index has increased fivefold, ushering in a new era where everyone has access to education and cultivation!] [Internally, by suppressing the powerful divine bloodlines, I have created countless jobs.]

[Externally, I have fought against the Nine Saints and other heretical sects, protecting countless territories and resources.]

[You bunch of bastards who only know how to question the Heavenly Court, do you even deserve to judge me?!]

The rules are fair.

Therefore, including Li Wei, all cultivators and common people in the Three Realms, including the gods, could sense that what Shang Hao said was true.

After His ascension to the throne, He indeed broke the tradition of cultivation methods, allowing the immortal economy to develop rapidly, popularizing basic cultivation, and ushering in an era where everyone in the Three Realms could cultivate.

but.
Li Wei remained silent for a moment before asking, "What about the price?"

Shang Hao's voice abruptly stopped.

The beings of the Three Realms couldn't help but sneer.

Li Wei couldn't help but sarcastically remark: "While cultivation techniques have been erased, the era of pay-to-win cultivation has arrived."

[Essence, magical artifacts, spells, and cultivation codes—everything related to cultivators has been openly priced, turning into a game of capital.]

Meanwhile, the speed of independent cultivation was continuously reduced, and by version 7.19, independent cultivation was even abolished, meaning cultivators could no longer gain cultivation points through meditation.

Even advancing in cultivation requires an advancement permit!

Thus, the powerful families with divine bloodlines, who controlled the wealth, solidified their position.

After all, there are so many extraordinary talents in the Three Realms every year. If it comes down to cultivation, they might not be able to compete, but when it comes to wealth, they wouldn't lose in ten lifetimes.

[Moreover, aren't resources like elixirs, spells, incantations, magical artifacts, and advancement permits all held in the hands of the Divine Blood Families?]

Li Wei's fingers twitched slightly, and the legal environment created by the Buddha's relic immediately responded, manifesting a series of data in mid-air.

You're absolutely right that in the Heavenly Dao 7.0 era, the per capita immortal production index increased fivefold!

But you didn't say where this added value came from!

[Now I can tell you, the increases are all in potions, magical artifacts, cultivation licenses, and other cultivation-related areas!]

[Heh! The cultivation potion industry alone has expanded 50 times, and the emerging industry of advancement permits is even more profitable than potions.]

Every word Li Wei uttered was a lament for the blood and tears of all beings in the Three Realms, resonating with countless people.

Therefore, the economic miracle you created has actually forcibly turned the cultivation that originally belonged to all living beings into a commodity!

[This forced everyone to buy and sell, thus driving up the cultivation market!]

But did the wealth ultimately end up in the hands of the monks and ordinary people?

【No!!】

[It all flowed into the hands of the gods and the Heavenly Court. So, in your so-called per capita celestial resources index, who exactly distributed the wealth among themselves?!]

Shut up!!!

The Great Luo Immortals of the Heavenly Court are now attacking the Lesser Thousand Flowing Sand World like madmen, trying to stop Li Wei.

But this exasperated look, when seen by all beings in the Three Realms, immediately made them feel a chill.

Although all beings in the Three Realms have suffered greatly from the exploitation of the Heavenly Dao 7.0 version, many of them still do not have a detailed understanding of all of this.

Until this moment,

Li Wei pointed out the truth, and they finally became aware of it.

Yes!

Why do I take drugs?

Isn't it because our cultivation speed has been continuously reduced, making cultivation impossible?

Assuming that the cultivation levels in the world are finite, then the cultivation potions sold by the gods are actually their own cultivation levels!
Thinking of this,

Countless beings were instantly enraged, forming a terrifying vortex that made people tremble with fear.

The expressions of the several Grand Luo Immortals from the Heavenly Court changed, and they quickly stepped aside, not daring to get involved in the slightest.

However, the Supreme Emperor Haotian could not hide and could only try to conceal himself in a corner, but he was still slightly affected.

So the [Protective Seal of the Lord] on His body began to sway uncontrollably, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Upon seeing this, Shang Hao's expression changed drastically, and he quickly explained:

My initial intention in establishing the Heavenly Laws was at least good; the fact that they've deteriorated to this state is entirely due to problems with how the gods enforced them!

Li Wei shook his head firmly: "Perhaps your intentions are good, but it's better for the gods of Heaven, and for yourself!"

[After all, given the nature of those people in Heaven, if your proposed reforms don't benefit them, then even the Heavenly Emperor, or even the Three Pure Ones, won't be able to implement them.]

But why were they willing to abolish cultivation methods and relinquish their own control over cultivation?

[Isn't it because you made a suggestion that was more beneficial to the gods than cultivation techniques?]

Your Majesty, you should be aware of the consequences of all this, shouldn't you?

Shang Hao fell completely silent.

Faced with the power of the Buddha's relics, He was not confident in lying, so He dared not answer.

But silence itself is the answer!
Seeing this scene, all the people had no more questions in their hearts. They looked at Shang Hao with eyes as sharp as knives, as if they were looking at a dead man.

The sea of ​​rage from countless beings transformed into a sharp axe, which, even without completely cleaving down, tore a hole in the [Human Lord's Protective Seal] on Shang Hao's body.

Poof!
Shang Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood, still snarling, and said, "I am innocent!"

Li Wei looked at Him as if he were looking at a dying patient:

[Abolish cultivation techniques, force people to pay for training, and reap the benefits of all living beings! If this isn't a sin, then surely it is a sin to try to start a war and sacrifice living beings in order to survive the great calamity?]

Shang Hao said with a ferocious grin, "The power of the great calamity is unstoppable; it will come sooner or later."

[And every time they come, countless people die, so whether I'm here or not, these people are destined to die!]

Li Wei shook his head firmly: "It's different! Every day of life is precious; no one should die prematurely."

They should not be allowed to have their premature deaths decided by others or by gods!

The Supreme Emperor Haotian immediately threw his head back and burst into wild laughter.

[Hehehe! Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs!]

[Li Wei! Who do you think you are, daring to spout such nonsense here?]

If one day you come to this position, you'll only be crazier than me!
