Li Nianfan was suddenly extrely curious. He wanted to ask if she had been in a relationship before.
However, his final traces of rationality defeated his impulse.
Curiosity would kill the cat. Staying alive was more important.
Li Nianfan said to Xiao Bai, “Xiao Bai, we’re finished. Co clean up the table.”
Xiao Bai half-wiggled and jogged over. “Yes, my dearest master.”
Smash!
The way Xiao Bai cleaned up the table was rough and brutal. It simply tossed the dishes into the pond, shocking the crowd.
It did not show any respect to the Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures at all!
Ziye looked at Li Nianfan and hesitated for so ti. Finally, with an extrely uneasy and excited feeling, she said, “Mr—Mr. Li, after listening to ‘Investiture of the Gods’, I have a childish idea... I don’t know if I should share it or not.”
Li Nianfan halted slightly. He asked with curiosity, “What idea?”
This Immortal loved joking around. Since she had spoken up, Li Nianfan could not tell her not to say it even if it was childish.
Ziye took in a deep breath and said slowly, “I want to build a Heavenly Temple.”
What situation?
Build a Heavenly Temple?
The Heavenly Temple could be built?
Li Nianfan was dumbfounded. He looked at Ziye as if it was his first ti eting this guest.
So wild? Did she want to be the ‘Wu Zetian’ among the Immortals?
Perhaps he understood her wrongly? Perhaps the Heavenly Temple she ant was the na of a Sect?
Li Nianfan could not help verifying, “You can’t be possibly referring to the...Heavenly Temple in ‘Investiture of the Gods’?”
“It’s that Heavenly Temple indeed!” Ziye nodded solemnly. She continued, “Mr. Li’s right. If an ordinary realm needs an Emperor, what more the Immortals? A civilization needs so rules to keep things in order.”
“This...”
Li Nianfan did not know how to reply Ziye. He looked at the others who did not look surprised. Instantly, he knew that they had all discussed this and decided to build a Heavenly Temple together.
Oh, no! Oh, no! Did they decide to build a Heavenly Temple based on his story?
Zhou Yunwu went ahead to rule the ordinary realm because of what he taught him.
Yuecha went ahead to establish Buddhism because of ‘Journey to the West’.
Now, these Immortals want to build the Heavenly Temple because of ‘Investiture of the Gods’?
This world was too insane!
However, it was easy to understand. It was similar to a person having been inspired by a successful entrepreneur story. The person would be filled with excitent and passion to start working on it.
It was apparent that Ziye and the group felt this way. It seed that they were quite capable.
Li Nianfan thought for a second. Then, he said sincerely, “Building a Heavenly Temple is wonderful. However, the process might be very challenging.”
‘The expert’s giving us the mission!
‘He’s testing our determination!’
The crowd beca more energetic, feeling more delighted than scared.
Ye Liuyun said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Li. However challenging it might get, we’re not afraid!”
“If you’re all so determined, it’s great!” Li Nianfan smiled. “If you could really build a Heavenly Temple, it’d be great news for the people!”
If they succeeded, they would be like the ancient Immortals. Being their friend, Li Nianfan might be able to gain so benefits from them. He might even be able to gain so privileges after death.
Of course, if they could even make so Flat Peaches, it would be ideal!
Aw, the thought of it was not bad at all.
Ziye was excited. “Mr. Li, this is our plan. We’re just not quite sure how the Heavenly Temple works. What are the positions and how do they work in ‘Investiture of the Gods’?”
“There’re quite a lot of positions in the Heavenly Temple and it’s more complex than the ordinary realm. Listen carefully.” Li Nianfan would not joke about this. After composing his thoughts, he said, “For the Gods of Lightning, there are twenty-four positions. They manage the rain and the clouds, the nutrients of all plants, and remove evil beings while blessing the people.
“The Gods of Plague comprise six positions. They’re in charge of the plagues and sickness in the ordinary realm, along with other enforcents.
“Also, the Gods of Finance who work with Yue Lao, the God of Soil and Ground, appoint different paths...”
rely by discussing the positions, it sounded more like a story. Li Nianfan summarized the plot along with so of his ideas. It did not take long before he told them the main concepts of the Heavenly Temple.
The eyes of the crowd were getting brighter. Just from listening, they could feel the orderly and smooth world they were about to build.
Ziye was thoughtfully recording his every word.
Although she had worked in the Heavenly Temple before, the complexity of the positions was not sothing she could figure out. She only knew the concept of them.
Immortal Linzhu could not help asking out of curiosity, “Mr. Li, what ranking of Immortals are required for these Godly positions?”
“There isn’t a definite requirent. Additionally, the ranking of one’s realm isn’t the main requirent.” Li Nianfan thought about it before he continued, “I think it depends on one’s rits. If one has done great things in the ordinary realm and blessed others, this person can also beco a God after death.”
He halted for a second. Li Nianfan could not help adding on, “Of course, I got all of these from the story. It’s simply made up. Don’t take it seriously. Just use it as a reference.”
The crowd nodded seriously, “Yes, we understand.”
Seeing that they were so caught up with it, he had to continue. As for how these Immortals were planning to build it, Li Nianfan had no clue. He was not interested to know either. What he could do was to provide them with so fictional ideas.
What nobody realized was that as Li Nianfan was speaking, so unknown changes were happening in the world. So ripples appeared in the air as if layers of restrictions were being broken down.
Inside the four-part architecture, the small sapling by the pond was suddenly glowing without a sound. It suddenly shot up two notches. anwhile, the vines around it jolted slightly, revealing a small, thumb-sized gourd.
anwhile, beneath the ground.
It was dark. It sowhat seed like another space away from the world where the sun did not shine. It was cold and wet.
Hwa-la-la!
Within this boundless darkness, many sounds seed to fly by at a shocking speed. In the deep end, there was the sound of rolling waves.
The sounds of the waves were getting louder. The passing figures beca more and more urgent along with so scoffs.
During one of the monts.
The darkened world seed to light up. However, it was not white light but a green glow. Even though it was bright, it was sohow eerie.
Amidst this green light, one could see that the rapidly flying figures were dressed in black uniforms. In the middle of the uniforms, there was a word printed, ‘Ghost’. They were not dead bodies, they were more like phantoms.
The ghosts were flying toward the waves rapidly. As they rushed in, they flew past a long, deep, narrow tunnel. Further on, one could see a stone sign hanging above with the word ‘Styx’. Red liquid flowed out of it as it emitted a terrifying glow.
The roaring sound was coming from here.
Upon entering the stone cave, the entire world suddenly opened up. There was a gigantic sea of blood. The bloody seawater was wild by now, spraying and splashing like a dragon. The waves rose into the sky as if it was a tsunami.
“Quick! Quick! Quick! Get more people here! We must block it!” an Oni in black armor growled in a low voice. His eyes were red. As he lifted his hands, the big knife sliced the ghosts who jumped out from the bloody sea into pieces!
Above the bloody sea, an Oni in bloody armor was patrolling in the sky. He was exuding a strong temperant, his killing intent as thick as the boundless sea. He pushed down on the bloody sea!
He was trying to calm the waves!
“Who is it? Who did this? Who reopened the road between life and death? Is this person unafraid of the punishnt?” he growled as he breathed hoarsely. His eyes followed the bloody sea to the end of it. Back there, a phantom-like Ghost Door was gradually opening.
By the door, a long and unreal path was slowly stretching out.
Sizz...
In the bloody sea, countless ghosts were roaring. Their roars made one’s scalp itchy.
These ghosts rushed over in waves. They were all rushing toward the Ghost Door.
Outside the Ghost Door, the Oni rushed over, one after another. They were trying to block the ghosts, trying to shut the Ghost Door.
A black figure and a white figure stood in front of the Ghost Door. They were using all they had to disperse the ghosts. One of them could not help saying with difficulty, “Back then, the Emperor sacrificed his life to cut off the road between life and death. How’s it being reopened now? Who has the right to reopen it?”
Click!
Suddenly, a sharp ringing sound was heard. Everyone’s hearts were jumping wildly, their eardrums trembling as chills crawled all over them.
A long stream of light was projected out from the Ghost Door.
The Ghost Door was...open!
