Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

The Demon Court is searching for a way out.

Because all the gods and immortals of the Demon Court, including the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court, knew that the chances of winning the war were slim.

But they didn't want to wait to die.

Then the only option left is to find another way out.

However, knowing that their chances of winning were slim, it wasn't just the Upper Realm Demon Court that wanted to find other ways out; the cultivators of the Middle Realm also wanted to find a way out to survive.

Unlike the Demon Court of the Upper Realm, the cultivators in this realm have very limited combat power and resources at the top.

Their top combat strength is at most at the Immortal level!

Such combat power is nothing but ants in front of He Li or Jiang Hongxian.

Dealing with them is a piece of cake.

The top cultivators in the Middle Realm were also aware of this, which is why they were more pessimistic than the Demon Court in the Upper Realm, and they were more determined to find other ways out.

However, although they wanted to find a way out...

But it's even more difficult than the Demon Court.

Because the Upper Realm Demon Court is looking for a way out, it can rely on the extremely ancient being, the Demon Court Heavenly Emperor...

That Demon Emperor knew many things and knew many ancient beings from the same era or their descendants. He could obtain more information and more help.

At the same time, he is the strongest being in the upper realm...

The Demon Emperor can use his power to gather the most resources in preparation for leaving this world.

In contrast, consider the cultivators of the Middle Realm...

He was weak and did not recognize the ancient beings.

They were unaware of many things, making it even more difficult to find a way out. Furthermore, their ability to gather resources was no match for that of the Demon Court of the Upper Realm...

Even their resources will be seized by the Upper Realm Demon Court, which is also preparing to leave...

This makes it even more difficult for cultivators in the middle realm to make adequate preparations and leave, even if they find a way out.

Therefore, the cultivators of the Middle Realm...

Their situation is the most difficult.

However, this had nothing to do with He Li, and he didn't care at all how difficult it was for those beings in the Upper or Middle Realms. At this moment, he and Jiang Hongxian had successfully returned to the Lower Realm.

After Jiang Hongxian returned, he quickly left, clearly to consolidate his power and accept the divine position.

At the same time, she might also...

They're preparing to rebuild the "Heavenly Court".

After all, He Li, who was in charge of the Netherworld, had to rebuild it, and Jiang Hong, who appeared as the Heavenly Emperor of the new era, naturally had to rebuild the dilapidated Heavenly Court.

Although He Li was curious about the Heavenly Court, he also wanted to know exactly what Jiang Hongxian would do.

But he didn't have time to go see it.

Because there are still many things waiting for him to help deal with in the lower realm.

For example, the reconstruction of the underworld.

He needs to collect materials and find helpers.

At the same time, various cunning officials must be arranged to restore the original normal operation of the rules that allow the souls of the dead to return to heaven and the consciousness to the underworld to their former normal state.

Moreover, besides his own affairs, he also had to help Yu Ji deal with matters concerning the human world.

Don't forget, He Li is the Lord of the Underworld...

Yu Ji was also a tree god.

He Li manages the realm of the dead, while Yu Ji needs to inherit more of the power of the tree gods to manage the human world on earth. This is definitely more difficult than He Li rebuilding and managing the realm of the dead.

The reason it's considered difficult is simply because...

It's simply because those in high positions in the human world wouldn't agree if Yu Ji wanted to take control of the mortal realm.

Especially those powerful and wealthy people...

Those guys who are used to bullying others and looking down on ordinary people as ants, in their eyes, the sky is the only thing that matters to them and no one can control them.

Whatever they did...

They all held high positions of power and were tasked with cleaning up messes.

But now, Heaven has truly appointed a supreme emperor to govern all living beings in the mortal realm. Would these unrestrained and arrogant beings agree to this?

They certainly wouldn't agree.

Not only will they not agree, they might even try to eliminate Yu Ji directly.

After all, these guys... would never allow anyone's rights and privileges to surpass theirs, and they would be even less willing to have anyone controlling them and preventing them from doing wrong.

The more troublesome situation is...

These people in high positions of power might do some unethical things because they are unwilling to bow their heads.

For example, they might incite public opinion, distort the truth, and portray Yu Ji or He Li as an enemy of humanity and even all living beings, inducing all living beings to collectively oppose Yu Ji and He Li.

And the probability of this happening...

It can be said to be very high.

After all, He Li was too strong. With his help, Yu Ji and his people had no chance of doing anything to Yu Ji by force, so they could only resort to this method in the end.

If these things are not handled properly, they could escalate into a war between humans and gods, which would be disastrous.

It is precisely because of these circumstances that...

Knowing that Yu Ji's situation was even more troublesome, and coupled with his own many other matters, He Li had no interest in dealing with Jiang Hongxian's affairs, no matter how curious he was.

After all, Jiang Hong is currently in the sky, and the humans on the ground do not conflict with her, so she doesn't have any trouble.

Even if there really is trouble...

With Jiang Hongxian's combat strength, he could easily handle the situation, and He Li wouldn't need to help.

But Yu Ji's situation is different.

Because Yu Ji wasn't particularly good at fighting.

Although He Li didn't fully understand the power of the Tree God, he could tell that it wasn't the type that excelled in combat. At most, Yu Ji could only use the power of the divine tree to forcibly suppress powerful figures in the mortal realm.

However, on the other hand...

Although Yu Ji is not good at fighting, the Divine Tree is actually two separate entities, even though it is Yu Ji.

Apart from Yu Ji...

The sacred tree also has an actual individual called the "Great Mulberry Tree".

After all, Yu Ji is more of an embodiment of consciousness.

The large mulberry tree was now in He Li's hands.

And barring any unforeseen circumstances, when He Li takes the giant mulberry tree out and puts it back on the ground, or when Yu Ji touches the giant mulberry tree, the power of the divine tree within Yu Ji will...

Then synchronization and fusion will begin, ultimately enabling Yu Ji to truly become the human emperor with a position equivalent to He Li, the Lord of the Dead Realm, and Jiang Hongxian, the Heavenly Emperor.

And obtain divine status, authority...

In other words, Yu Ji could actually possess the combined power of two supreme concept gods, a power that surpassed Jiang Hongxian's and approached He Li's...

Because Jiang Hongxian is merely the Heavenly Emperor.

She only possesses the powers of the Heavenly Emperor!

Although Yu Ji only possessed the authority of the divine tree, his power was more than twice that of an equal being.

Comparing the two, without considering other factors, Yu Ji is naturally stronger than Jiang Hongxian, but even with twice the strength, she is still no match for He Li.

After all, He Li also has twice the strength.

He is not only the Lord of the Death Realm, but also the Fangxiangshi who has mastered the concept of Heart Fire...

Furthermore, he also has twelve beasts under his command that are almost conceptual representations of the twelve beasts.

Such power...

That is the pinnacle of the supreme god.

Even if Yu Ji and Jiang Hongxian combined their strength, they wouldn't stand a chance against He Li when he unleashed his full power, not to mention the hidden power He Li possessed from his transformation into a Daoist being...

He Li's powerful strength is the source of his confidence that he is not worried about unexpected events in the future.

Even though he found Yu Ji's situation troublesome.

That's just a lot of trouble.

If he really messes things up, and the people on earth are truly incited by those with ulterior motives to oppose him, Yu Ji, or even the Heavenly Dao, he wouldn't mind flipping the table...

Although the cost of these actions is the large-scale human deaths and the many consequences they will have.

But what can you do about it?

He Li has now reached the point of living in harmony with the heavens, his lifespan synchronized with the heavens. He has enough time to wait for this world to regain its prosperity.

However, He Li doesn't want to easily overturn the table and crush those ignorant people unless absolutely necessary.

After all, they were just being misled...

He Li pondered these matters, considering possible scenarios and the worst-case scenario. After parting ways with Jiang Hongxian, he released the others from his Purple Mansion space...

"Let's go back to Shuzhou first."

"The great mulberry tree should take root again in Sichuan."

He Li then released the crowd and spoke.

His gaze also fell upon Yu Ji: "At that time, you may be able to obtain the power of the corresponding supreme god through the great mulberry tree. As for other matters in the mortal world, I will help you."

"After all, the Netherworld is connected to the human world, and the Great Abyss also needs the divine tree to forge it."

"Hmm!" Yu Ji nodded upon hearing this.

Mu Lan then said, "Then you guys go first. I'm going back to Kyoto to tell them about the current situation. Although war is unavoidable, we can minimize the impact as much as possible."

Hearing this, He Li frowned slightly.

"I advise you not to go."

He spoke, and Mu Lan was taken aback, but quickly understood what He Li meant and shook her head: "It's alright, not all of those high-ranking officials in Kyoto are unreasonable people."

"It's worth a try. If it doesn't work... well, with my strength, there's nothing they can do."

He nodded upon hearing her say that.

But in his heart, he shook his head.

He knew very well that Mu Lan's sincerity, goodwill, and consideration for the overall situation when she approached those higher-ups and revealed the current situation would definitely not yield any good results!
