Forced to become a top influencer, I rely on my tu cao to ruin the cultivation world.

The silver flying boat of Li Changqing, the Enforcer of the Heavenly Court, did not crash into scrap metal as expected.

Just three inches from the ground, the rune array on the bottom of the flying boat forcibly lit up, bursting forth with a dazzling golden light. That was the life-saving mechanism of the Heavenly Court's standard magical artifact—"Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell."

"boom!"

The huge blast wave overturned the surrounding sheds, sending dust flying everywhere.

Jia Zhuang squinted, waving away the dust in front of him. The once majestic flying ship was now shattered, like a shrimp with its shell peeled off, but Li Changqing himself was perfectly intact, hovering in mid-air. Nine golden halos surrounded him, the protective divine light of the Heavenly Enforcer, isolating him from all the filth of the world.

Li Changqing's face was ashen, and his hair was disheveled; clearly, the plane crash had humiliated him greatly.

"Mortal! You're courting death!"

Li Changqing's voice was no longer indifferent, but filled with rage. He raised his hand and pointed, and the clouds in the sky instantly churned. Nine golden magic rings transformed into nine ancient divine mountains, crashing down on Jia Zang with overwhelming power.

"Physical erasure won't work, then I'll annihilate your very soul! Today, I will reduce your Sunset Peak to dust!"

"Chairman Jia! Watch out!" Elder Wang Teng shouted in terror, his entire body pressed to the ground by the oppressive force, unable to move.

Jia Zang stood there, his legs trembling with the instinctive fear of a mortal facing the pressure of a god. His kneecaps cracked under the strain, but he gritted his teeth and refused to kneel.

"System! Barrage Protection! Quick!" Jia Zhuang roared in his mind.

[System notification: Invoking the high-energy reaction in the live stream... Energy conversion rate 200%... Manifesting!]

"Buzz—!!!"

The huge metal horn once again emitted a piercing buzzing sound.

Just as the nine golden sacred mountains were about to crush Jia Zang into a pulp, a colorful curtain of light suddenly lit up the sky.

That wasn't a spiritual energy shield, nor was it the light of a magical artifact.

Those are words.

Countless huge Chinese characters, composed of various colors such as red, yellow, blue, and green, were stacked together like bricks, instantly building a "wall of characters" ten meters thick above Jia Zang's head.

[Warning: High-energy content ahead!]

[Is this the legendary "dimensional reduction attack"? It's so ugly!]

Are the civil servants in Heaven really this bad? They flip the table when they can't win a fight?

Protect our Chairman Jia! Hold the line!

Is this the charm of cyberpunk cultivation? I'm in love!

【66666666666666666666666666666】

"BOOM—!!!"

The golden sacred mountain slammed heavily into the wall made of "bullet screens".

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

To Li Changqing's horror, he discovered that his attack, which contained the laws of heaven, was actually blocked by these... these inexplicable characters!

Although those words seem light and airy, they contain an extremely strange power—the "cognition" and "emotions" of billions of beings from another higher dimension (Earth).

In the rules of Heaven, the will of all beings is the truth.

And now, the complaints from netizens around the world are forcibly distorting the physical rules here!

"What...what kind of sorcery is this?!" Li Changqing's face turned deathly pale. He felt his magical power being frantically devoured by these projectiles. "Human hearts? No, this isn't the human heart of this world! This is...the ravings of an extraterrestrial demon!"

"Enforcer Li," Jia Zhuang, panting heavily under the barrage of text, leaned on his knees, a mocking smile playing on his lips, "this is called 'public opinion.' Young people these days have no morals; they love cyberbullying. What you just did violated the 'Internet Community Convention.'"

"Shut up!" Li Changqing roared in exasperation, his hands frantically forming hand seals. "No matter what kind of monster you are, I will definitely..."

"Screw you!"

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the wall of bullets in the sky, and a huge line of red bullets, shimmering with golden light, squeezed out from it, like a heavy hammer, and slammed into Li Changqing's protective magic ring.

Is this the standard of the Heavenly Court? I'm in love!

"Snap!"

A crack appeared in Li Changqing's protective magic ring.

He was struck dumb, coughing up a mouthful of blood as he fell from mid-air, landing awkwardly in the ruins.

The entire room fell silent.

The workers at Luoxia Peak stared wide-eyed at the surreal scene before them.

That high and mighty Heavenly Enforcer, who looked down on all living beings as ants, was actually made to vomit blood by just a few lines of text?

"Cough cough..." Li Changqing struggled to get up, but found that his spiritual power was draining away wildly, as if it was being drawn away by some invisible force.

Just then, the red system pop-up window in the sky reappeared.

But this time, it was no longer a cold, hard judgment; instead, it became a… video call interface.

In the scene, an elderly man with a dignified face, dressed in a golden robe with nine dragons, appears. He sits upright on a chair made of stars, with a vast galaxy behind him.

The mechanical voice of the Heavenly Dao System sounded:

[The detection indicated that law enforcement caused Li Changqing to suffer a "high-dimensional mental shock," which was determined to be "force majeure."]

[Emergency arbitration proceedings have been initiated.]

[Connecting the administrator of plane 073 (Jia Zang) with the representative of the Heavenly Dao Council (the Jade Emperor).]

The Jade Emperor?!

Jia Zhuang's pupils contracted.

The old man in the picture slightly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly piercing through the screen and landing directly on Jia Zang.

"So you're that... Jia Zang who's been industrializing the cultivation world?" The Jade Emperor's voice was unreadable, yet it carried a chilling sense of oppression.

Upon seeing the Jade Emperor appear, Li Changqing immediately knelt on the ground, weeping and pleading, "Your Majesty! This humble subject is incompetent! This sorcerer... this sorcerer uses extraterrestrial evil arts to bewitch people and disrupt the rules of Heaven! I beg Your Majesty to do justice!"

Jia Zang took a deep breath, straightened his oil-stained work clothes, straightened his back, and looked directly at the Jade Emperor on the screen.

"Your Majesty the Jade Emperor... no, Your Majesty the Jade Emperor," Jia Zhuang cupped his hands in greeting, "Since we're going to arbitrate, let's talk things out. You say I broke the rules, so let me ask you a question first."

The Jade Emperor frowned slightly: "Speak."

"The cultivation world is depleted of spiritual energy, mortals are like weeds, and cultivators monopolize resources. Is this the 'Heavenly Dao' you uphold?" Jia Zhuang pointed to the sky behind him, blackened by industrial waste gas. "I'm developing industrialization so that mortals can also use lights, and so that cultivators don't have to kill and plunder for a few spirit stones. I'm fixing a bug for you, and instead of thanking me, you're banning my account?"

"How dare you!" Li Changqing roared. "The will of Heaven is predetermined; how dare you, a mere mortal, interfere!"

"Destiny?" Jia Zhuang sneered. "Spiritual energy is dwindling, environmental pollution is worsening, and this is your destiny? I think it's time to reinstall your system!"

The Jade Emperor remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Jia Zang, while there is some truth to what you say, your methods have gone too far. You extracted the Earth's essence, causing an energy imbalance between the two planes, which is a grave sin. Furthermore, the industrial system you established is filled with 'greed' and 'violence,' which is inconsistent with the tranquility and non-action of the cultivation world."

"Greed?" Jia Zang laughed. "Your Majesty, have you ever seen a cultivator who isn't greedy? They crave longevity, immortality. I only crave a few spirit stones, a few kilowatt-hours of electricity. Compared to them, isn't my greed much more endearing?"

"And you say I'm full of violence?" Jia Zhuang pointed to the still-flashing barrage of comments in the sky. "Look at these. These are the 'emotions' of billions of people on Earth. They have anger, compassion, and a sense of justice. Aren't they more 'human' than you cultivators who have severed all emotions and desires?"

The Jade Emperor looked at the barrage of comments floating in the air, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

Is this the true face of the gods?

[Hilarious, trying to reason with capitalists about morality.]

[You old Jade Emperor, apologize to Chairman Jia at once!]

[Support Chairman Jia! We want to watch the live stream of cultivation!]

The screen was flooded with comments again, and the Jade Emperor's brows furrowed even more.

"Jia Zang," the Jade Emperor said in a deep voice, "you are eloquent. But rules are rules. You have crossed realms to steal energy and must be punished. However..."

He glanced at the disheveled Li Changqing, then at the frenzied barrage of comments.

"Considering that you haven't caused irreparable consequences, and... your 'path' does indeed have some novelty, I've decided to give you a chance."

"What opportunity?" Jia Zhuang asked.

"We can organize a 'Plane Development Hearing'," the Jade Emperor said calmly. "You can attend the hearing as a representative of the 'Industrial Cultivation Faction.' If you can convince the council that your industrialized cultivation is beneficial to the balance of the universe, I can revoke your punishment and even... grant you the authority to 'operate legally'."

"But what if we can't convince them?"

"That would mean utter annihilation." A cold glint flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes. "Not only you, but this entire plane will be formatted."

[System notification: Main quest triggered - Dimensional Development Hearing.]

[Mission Objective: Attend the hearing, defeat your opponent, and secure legalization.]

[Mission Reward: Unlock "Interstellar Travel" privileges, system upgraded to version 2.0.]

Jia Zhuang looked at the system notification and a crazy smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, I'll take it."

The Jade Emperor remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand.

"allow."

"Li Changqing, you'll be in charge of coordinating the hearing."

Li Changqing looked like he'd swallowed a fly, and gritted his teeth as he replied, "Yes... Your Majesty."

As the Jade Emperor's figure disappeared, the red pop-up window in the sky also slowly faded away.

The terrifying pressure finally dissipated.

Jia Zang sat down heavily on the ground, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.

"Chairman Jia...we...we're going to the hearing?" Wang Teng crawled over shakily, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes." Jia Zhuang panted heavily, but his eyes burned with fierce fire. "Not only will we participate, but we'll also cause a huge ruckus."

He stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at the huge metal horn.

"Family members," Jia Zhuang said to the camera with a confident smile, "get your snacks and drinks ready, we're about to broadcast the hearing on the development of the interdimensional plane live."

"This time, we're going to show those 'gods' what it means to be... king of traffic!"
