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

Although he had long anticipated that Mu Lan's search for those high-ranking officials would not yield any good results.

But He Li did not stop it.

Mu Lan's situation is different from his. Mu Lan has been an investigator and an indigenous person for a long time. She has a higher sense of belonging to this world or social group.

She loves this world and the community more, and is more willing to consider things from the community's perspective.

Even if He Li tried to stop her...

Mu Lan will definitely still give it a try.

He understood this clearly, so he simply gave up trying to persuade Mu Lan not to go.

Instead of trying to persuade her, it would be better to let Mu Lan experience firsthand how the attitudes of the higher-ups representing the group towards her changed because of her new identity and power.

She was utterly disappointed by then...

He would naturally no longer be as naive as he is now, and it would not affect his relationship with He Li and Yu Ji.

With this in mind, He Li didn't say much and just watched Mu Lan leave. Afterwards, he and Yu Ji and the others quickly returned to the tribe where Yu Ji was located in Shuzhou.

Here at this moment...

The situation was different when He Li first arrived and was targeted by the tribal elders.

After all, those clan elders were either dead or crippled.

The tribe was also under Yu Qingge's control.

The young people in the tribe also have more ideas and are no longer controlled by the outdated ideas of the elders. In addition, they are very rational, both in the past and present...

Of course, the people of this ancient Shu tribe could no longer treat He Li with the same attitude as before.

However, regarding their attitude...

He Li has never cared.

Regardless of their attitude...

After all, this tribe had nothing to do with him, so he didn't need to care too much. That's why when many people in the tribe saw He Li appear and wanted to greet him...

He Li didn't even look at it, and went to the mountain lake where the "big mulberry tree" used to be.

Because he took the "big mulberry tree" away before...

A large pit was left here; if Yu Qingge hadn't arranged for people to maintain it, the mountain and lake would probably have collapsed.

And now... looking down at the still clearly visible traces left by the forced removal of the "Great Mulberry Tree", He Li waved his hand to open his Purple Mansion and took out the "Great Mulberry Tree".

hum! ! !

As the giant mulberry tree appeared, He Li immediately sensed the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy and energy field.

The spiritual energy became even more concentrated.

The surrounding creatures also became more vibrant.

Centered on the giant mulberry tree he controlled, a strange life force permeated the area for miles around, a force that brought immense pleasure and seemed to cure all ailments.

Such a situation and power... were things that the old mulberry tree simply did not possess.

As for why it exists now?

He Li glanced at Yu Ji beside him. If he wasn't mistaken, it was because of the influence of Yu Ji and the divine tree's power, since this mulberry tree actually grew from the branches of the divine tree.

It is the divine tree itself.

The reason we didn't have much power before was because the power belonging to the divine tree hadn't been "activated".

But now, the situation is different.

Yu Ji once traveled back in time and even came into contact with the divine tree at its peak, receiving its inherited memories and power. The Great Mulberry Tree was a part of the divine tree and Yu Ji...

Yu Ji inherited the power of memories, and even without contact with the divine tree, it would inevitably share and activate some things.

And the changes it caused upon its appearance...

That must be one of the functions of activation.

But this is only the beginning.

Next, the most important thing is to plant the divine tree, completely integrate it with the power of the divine tree within Yu Ji, and grant Yu Ji authority equal to the highest level.

So, after thinking for a moment, He Li used his spiritual power to control the giant mulberry tree to return to the ground...

Click! Click!

The moment the mulberry tree touched the ground again...

A series of clicking sounds echoed all around.

The sound was like something being torn apart or like the sound of glass breaking, and the sound kept increasing as the mulberry tree took root.

Meanwhile, the large mulberry tree also began to expand and grow at a visible rate during this period...

In the blink of an eye.

That huge mulberry tree.

It had already grown to over several hundred meters tall and was still growing at an even faster rate. Its lush branches were also constantly spreading and gathering some kind of power.

He couldn't quite explain what kind of power it was, but it felt somewhat mysterious and familiar.

It's as if this special power...

He had come across it sometime in the past, but he couldn't recall what it was at the moment.

As the giant mulberry tree continued its rapid and uncontrolled growth, it attracted the attention of not only all the ancient Shu people among the surrounding tribes, but also passersby in distant towns...

Kyoto at this time...

call out! ! !

With an extremely faint whooshing sound, Mu Lan's figure instantly traversed hundreds of miles to arrive at the headquarters of the Special Bureau in Kyoto, leaving the newly arrived high-ranking officials of the bureau completely bewildered.

It took them a while to react, and they looked at Mu Lan with shocked, suspicious, and wary eyes.

"Are you Mu Lan, the investigator from Bacheng, Shuzhou?"

"Our subordinates mentioned you to us."

"Aren't you in the Middle Realm?"

"Why did you suddenly come here? What's the reason? Did he also return from the Middle Realm? Also, did you encounter something in the Middle Realm before you suddenly returned?"

After regaining his senses, Zheng Guo, who was in charge, asked.

He hadn't received any news from Shanghai yet, so naturally he didn't know that He Li and the others had already returned.

After all, He Li is already a god.

They move so fast that they can travel thousands of miles to reach their destination in an instant, while the information coming back from Shanghai doesn't take that long.

That is why Zheng Guo and the others are completely unaware of what has happened in the Middle Realm.

Mu Lan naturally knew this as well.

So she nodded upon hearing this: "He Li has also returned. He has achieved his goal of going to the Middle Realm, but... many unexpected things happened in the process."

"I rushed over here suddenly because I wanted to talk to you all about us and the Three Realms."

"Oh?" Zheng Guo frowned slightly.

Because he vaguely sensed that Mu Lan's tone was somewhat heavy and complicated.

Mu Lan said this, and considering their sudden return from the Middle Realm and Mu Lan's changes... Zheng Guo didn't know what had happened, but he knew the problem was definitely serious.

At that moment, he was in no mood to care about anything else.

Concerned about the potential invasion of the lower realm by the middle and upper realms, and the possibility of other changes, Zheng Guo immediately asked, "Let's talk as we go. What exactly happened to you in the middle realm?"

"And what you said about matters related to the Three Realms..."

"And what exactly is it?"

Seeing this, Mu Lan nodded, and on the way to the conference room with many high-ranking officials from the Special Bureau, she also started to talk about what they encountered when they rescued Yu Ji in the Middle Realm.

As she revealed that the upper and middle realms would soon attack the lower realm and that they were using the divine tree to mass-produce powerful beings capable of traversing worlds unaffected...

The expressions on the faces of the senior executives also became even more unpleasant.

But that's not all.

What truly made their faces turn extremely grim was what Mu Lan said next...

Mu Lan mentioned that they had returned to the past, witnessed the established history and He Li's ascension to godhood, and also revealed that three great emperors would appear in this world.

As she narrated...

The senior executives who had already arrived in the conference room were all silent, their faces ashen.

The information Mu Lan revealed was so unexpected and so shocking to them.

It's another invasion from the middle and upper realms...

It's about those conflicts between the gods again...

There are also the rules of heaven and earth, the schemes of the heavenly way, and so on...

Furthermore, all living beings will be firmly controlled by three emperors who live as long as the heavens... None of these things are easy for them to bear.

Not to mention now, Mu Lan has thrown it all out at their faces so they'd know...

Of course, knowing this is actually not a problem.

At most, they were just shocked. What really bothered them was that these things involved a much higher level of power, often involving gods or even the rules of the world.

Even immortals have become ants.

Faced with this situation, how could they, who were usually high and mighty but were actually just ordinary martial artists, not even as good as cultivators in the middle realm, remain calm?

That's why, after a brief silence, someone couldn't help but question Mu Lan...

"Doesn't he have anything to say?"

"Does he support the will of Heaven?"

"Supporting a future God ruling over humanity?"

"Has he forgotten that he was once a human being, and that he only became powerful and gained this opportunity to ascend to godhood and become supreme through the support of everyone?"

Hearing this, Mu Lan frowned.

But she didn't react; she just shook her head: "Whether it's the will of Heaven or any other reason, they won't do anything to you. They're just a more systematic management system that acts on behalf of the will of Heaven..."

"Reducing natural and man-made disasters in the world is, in a sense, not a bad thing."

"You don't need to completely deny it!"
