Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

A deathly silence fell over the Lingxiao Palace.

Luo Chen raised his right hand slightly, and the two golden balls floating above his palm attracted each other and rotated.

He turned around and spoke calmly to the assembled immortals and gods, saying, "Your Highness, fellow Daoists, I thank you all for coming to celebrate, but I have no need for Heavenly Merit or Fortune."

"But this is, after all, a gift from Heaven, so how could I refuse it? When I find a destined person in the future, I will bestow this opportunity upon them in return to give back to Heaven."

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, the immortals gasped, their gazes fixed intently on the two floating golden spheres.

Even some immortal ancestors were not immune to this, because the merits and fortune bestowed upon Luo Chen by the Heavenly Dao this time were simply too vast.

Even if the immortal ancestors wanted to accumulate such a vast amount of merit and fortune, it would take several eras and billions of years.

The immortals remained silent. The Immortal Emperor had no right to speak, but he had already realized that the atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace was becoming increasingly tense.

The immortals instinctively turned their gaze to Emperor Yan, who sat at the head of the table. The emperor did not express any opinion, but simply watched Luo Chen's actions quietly.

Emperor Yan did not intervene directly, perhaps due to his own considerations and shrewdness.

However, some immortal ancestors did not have such concerns.

A celestial ancestor, seated on a throne with an aura as serene as the ancient depths of space, spoke, his words echoing throughout the hall: "Immortal Ancestor Luo, your methods are truly remarkable; you have actually managed to seize the merits and fortune of the Heavenly Dao!"

"However, this is a gift from Heaven to Fellow Daoist Luo. Giving it away casually would be suspected of disturbing the order of Heaven and Earth, wouldn't it?"

"Oh? And who is this?" Luo Chen feigned ignorance and looked at the Immortal Ancestor who had spoken first.

"I am the Immortal Ancestor Taichen, who governs the order of time and the long river of time in all the heavens..." Immortal Ancestor Taichen said in a deep voice without any fluctuation in his tone.

"Disrupting the order of heaven and earth? Why has the Immortal Ancestor Taichen pinned such an unfounded charge on me?" Luo Chen said softly, his gaze fixed on the Immortal Ancestor Taichen.

He suspected that the old man had chosen to attack him in advance because of the Nine Profound Divine Eye Emperor.

That's fine, though, it saves me from having to figure out how to get back at him.

"How vast are the fortunes and merits bestowed upon Luo Xianzu by Heaven! To casually give them away to others is tantamount to disrupting the balance of Heaven and Earth!"

"The stability of the heavens requires the cooperation of all fellow Daoists. Luo Xianzu's actions are no less than actively cultivating a variable that can influence the birth of the heavens."

Tai Chen Immortal Ancestor's voice remained deep, but his words resonated with the many immortals and gods in the hall, eliciting frequent nods of approval.

Such immense merit, if obtained by anyone, would result in unimaginable speed of cultivation, and the path to the Great Dao would be incredibly smooth, free from any tribulations.

The existence of such a person disrupts the natural order and becomes a variable; no one can predict his future.

"Fellow Daoist Taichen, you are mistaken. I had a very pleasant conversation with Fellow Daoist Luo, and I do not think Fellow Daoist Luo is such a reckless person."

At this moment, the usually silent Immortal Ancestor suddenly spoke up, offering an explanation for Luo Chen.

Seeing the carefree immortal ancestor step down to support Luo Chen, the Taiyi immortal ancestor sighed inwardly.

His Taiyi Immortal Palace and Luo Chen also have a long history. One of Luo Chen's personal disciples even became a seed of a celestial god in the Taiyi Immortal Palace. It is only right and proper for him to stand up and say something.

Taiyi Immortal Ancestor waved his whisk and said calmly, "Merit and fortune are gifts from Heaven to Fellow Daoist Luo. How to deal with them is up to you."

"In the lower realm, Fellow Daoist Luo has protected the Primordial Spirit Great Thousand on many occasions. He is a compassionate person and would certainly not do anything to disrupt the order of heaven and earth."

Many Immortal Emperors immediately lowered their heads, secretly regretting their earlier statement. How could they interfere in the power struggle between Immortal Ancestor-level experts?

Many immortal ancestors, as well as the silent Emperor Yan, were somewhat surprised. They did not expect that the carefree immortal ancestor and the Taiyi immortal ancestor would actually support Luo Chen.

Even Luo Chen turned his gaze to express his gratitude to the two immortal ancestors.

He had spent two or three days discussing the Dao with the Immortal Ancestor Xiaoyao. From what the Immortal Ancestor Xiaoyao did, he could see that the Immortal Ancestor Xiaoyao was a man of strong character who could not tolerate any wrongdoing. He would even personally deal with the parasites under his own tutelage.

But the fact that Taiyi Immortal Ancestor spoke at this moment was somewhat beyond Luo Chen's expectations.

Unexpectedly, this old man was able to speak up for me, even if it was just a simple sentence. But as a Celestial Ancestor, every word and action of his was of immeasurable value, representing the attitude of a Celestial Ancestor.

Tai Chen Immortal Ancestor frowned slightly, turned his gaze to Luo Chen again, and said indifferently, "I have heard that Immortal Ancestor Luo has killed many gods of the Heavenly Realm in the lower realm. Even if you have achieved the position of Immortal Ancestor, your sins cannot be forgiven."

These words immediately caused an even greater uproar in the Lingxiao Palace.

Luo Chen showed no expression in response. He glanced around at the assembled Immortal Emperors and suddenly said, "Since Immortal Ancestor Tai Chen has brought this up, I will speak with His Highness the Emperor and all the Immortal Gods about it."

With a wave of his hand, Luo Chen caused the scene of the Great Thousand Worlds to be reflected above the Lingxiao Palace.

The gods looked up and their eyes narrowed.

In the scene, heaven and earth are turned upside down, fortune is declining, the Great Dao is collapsing, and the order of the Heavenly Dao no longer exists. Within the Great World, calamity energy surges endlessly, and among it, world-destroying gods and demons are appearing, slaughtering the world on a massive scale.

The scene shifts, and in the cycle of Yin and Yang, a figure sitting cross-legged by a tributary of the Yellow Springs is devouring the fortune and origin of the world. The evil and malevolent energy around him is surging, but it is gradually neutralized by a wheel of merit behind him.

An uproar!

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the immortals and gods were abuzz with excitement and began to discuss the scene.

Someone recognized the figure reflected in the image and exclaimed in surprise;

"The Nine Profound Divine Eyes Emperor?"

"Isn't this person a celestial being from the Heavenly Palace of Reincarnation and Creation?"

"Thieves of the Dao! How dare they be so arrogant, attempting to devour an entire world?"

"It's terrifying to think about..."

The Immortal Emperors in the location of the Reincarnation Creation Heavenly Palace were immediately shaken, their eyes blazing with anger, wishing they could kill the Nine Profound Divine Eye Emperor with their own hands.

In the Lingxiao Palace, before the immortal ancestors and Emperor Yan, he actually committed such a disgraceful act, causing trouble for the Reincarnation Creation Heavenly Palace.

Tai Chen Immortal Ancestor felt a bad premonition rising in his heart, and sure enough, when his eyes saw the scene presented by Luo Chen, he felt an urge to vomit blood.

I had personally instructed the Nine Profound Divine Eye Emperor not to take any action recently, but I didn't expect that this guy wouldn't even listen to me.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed through the mind of Immortal Ancestor Taichen.

He reached into the void and casually slapped his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the scene inside the Lingxiao Palace, which was suspended in the air, changed drastically.

Beyond the vast world of Hengxian, a storm arose without warning.

A colossal, boundless hand, spanning the heavens, shattered the boundary and slowly descended from outside the Great World.

This giant hand is interwoven with primordial Daoist script. When its five fingers are outstretched, it can cover the entire world. Before it, the vast universe is nothing more than a plaything in the palm of its hand.

All living things were frozen in time, and the remaining beings were not even aware of what was happening.

The world was deathly silent. Within the cycle of reincarnation, the body of the Nine Profound Divine Eyes Emperor instantly exploded into nothingness. Even in his dying moments, he was still immersed in the creation he had made after devouring the Great Thousand Worlds.

The vast, boundless hand dissipated, and the collapsed天地 (heaven and earth) suddenly regained its order. The surviving beings were bewildered, not understanding what had happened...

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Immortal Ancestor Taichen withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Such a wicked creature should not exist in this world."
