The Netherworld's Affairs Conclude
I don't know how much time passed.
The three then withdrew their supernatural powers and magical forms, their bodies brimming with Daoist intent, clearly indicating that they had each gained a great deal.
"Fellow Daoists."
"With the affairs of the netherworld concluded, Primordial World winds and clouds arose in the primordial world, marking the time of the Epoch Change."
"This humble Daoist priest still needs to remain in Wuyi Mountain and cannot stay here for long."
"I entrust the entire Luofeng Mountain and the Netherworld to you two."
After saying this, Zhou Yuan actually bowed to the two of them.
The Emperor Fengdu smiled nonchalantly:
"You're too kind, sir. We are two sides of the same coin. There's no need for such formality."
"However, the [Book of Life and Death] and the [World-Destroying Millstone] are both useful here, and they probably cannot be used lightly in the short term."
"It's alright."
Zhou Yuan shook his head.
"If the [World-Destroying Millstone] is needed, I have my own way of dealing with it."
"Fellow Daoist Meng Po, use the Great Dao of Dreams to shake the minds of these demons beneath the Taisha Heavenly Palace. Then, use the [World-Destroying Millstone] to destroy their Dao Bodies. With this two-pronged approach, you will surely succeed one day."
We cannot afford to be complacent here.
Luofeng Mountain is the foundation of Zhou Yuan and his companions in the Netherworld. The Chaos Demon God imprisoned beneath the Taisha Heavenly Palace is the foundation and best resources of the Netherworld, so no amount of caution is too much.
Meng Po nodded to the side:
"Fellow Daoist Taiyuan, rest assured."
"Now that the Blood Moon is no longer a constraint, I can freely enter and leave the Dao Domain without any more hindrance."
"From this day forward, I will stand with the Emperor at the Taisha Heavenly Palace until these Chaos Demon God can no longer cause any trouble."
"However, the matter of Mystic Gate Opens Mountain is beyond my reach, and I will need you to put in more effort, fellow Daoist."
After a moment's hesitation, Meng Po added:
"In the previous era, I Contend with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and my original intention was not to set foot in the Primordial World again."
"But if you truly encounter a crisis..."
"This old woman is willing to do her utmost."
That's a very strong statement.
The promise of a being who has seemingly walked the path to becoming Primordial Origin Golden Immortal for a long time is of immeasurable value.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yuan knew that Meng Po was now a completely secure ally.
Thus, even after he left the Netherworld.
With the two supreme Primordial Origin Golden Immortal Emperor Fengdu and Meng Po, guarding this place, nothing can really go wrong.
On Duoshuo Mountain.
The pitch-black Divine Peach Tree was enveloped in divine light, and he was quietly enjoying a moonlight bath.
Suddenly, the Grand Void trembled.
Amidst the colorful clouds, a Daoist priest in a green robe, holding a bamboo staff, slowly walked in.
The Divine Peach Tree was startled and quickly composed itself, then led its two clones in a respectful bow:
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Zhou Yuan glanced at the two Divine Generals beside the peach tree with surprise.
One was dressed in colorful armor, with a solemn expression and a majestic demeanor.
One had silver hair and armor, a solemn and cold face, and an extraordinary aura.
"Ugh! Sitting Duoshuo Mountain is so boring."
The Divine Peach Tree gave an embarrassed smile:
"So I neutralized the two Spirit Clones and chatted with them."
Zhou Yuan nodded indifferently.
He casually said:
"Since it's so incredibly boring..."
"Don't you remember having a good older brother?"
"Go and have a chat with him?"
The Divine Peach Tree stood solemnly, its righteous form cutting through the void.
"Born Netherworld Tree, die Netherworld Peach."
"Chaos Demon God are all evil. How could I, a native being of the Netherworld, associate with them?!"
"Sir, you must be joking."
If you keep talking, I'll get angry.
The Divine Peach Tree exudes righteousness; it's just a matter of writing "loyalty" on the left half and "gratitude" on the right half.
Zhou Yuan sighed:
"Xiao Tao."
"I originally thought you had a close relationship with the Great Dark Sky Demon God, and I even considered sending you to infiltrate the enemy camp as an envoy."
"After you succeed, you will have rendered a great service to the Netherworld. At that time, Fengdu will appoint you as the guardian deity of Duoshuo Mountain."
"It's perfectly legitimate now."
"The Yin Soul of the Netherworld can't really say anything either."
"But since you have no connection with the Great Dark Sky Demon God..."
Let's drop this matter.
Etc...
What did the master say?
You want to bestow an official title upon me? And return me to the ranks of the Netherworld?
What does this mean? Will my Divine Peach Tree one day also have to come ashore?
The Divine Peach Tree was so moved it almost cried.
Considering he was a remnant of the previous dynasty, he had severely offended the Grand Master back then.
Although he slid down quickly, he still had a criminal record.
'I never imagined I'd actually make it ashore one day.'
Once I'm ashore, I'll be cleansed of all wrongdoing. From now on, I can stand tall as a god even in the underworld.
"Etc!"
The Divine Peach Tree's face was filled with my burning desire to improve.
"Master."
"I got it mixed up."
"Peach, I had some dealings with the Great Dark Sky Demon God before."
"To fulfill the master's task, this humble god is willing to sacrifice himself to feed the demon."
"Good!"
Zhou Yuan clapped his hands in admiration.
"He showed spirit and didn't lose face."
"So, you're quite capable now?"
"Able!"
"Dare to do it?"
The Divine Peach Tree stood tall and righteous:
"Dare!"
"No matter what lies ahead, whether it be mountains of knives and seas of fire or thunderous roars, I will simply dedicate myself to the cause until my dying breath."
A strange light flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.
How come he never noticed before that this little peach was so talkative?
In this light, sending him to persuade Great Dark Sky might have been a wise move.
The Dark God had already lost his courage due to his own torment, and had spent many years in the Eighteen Layers of Hell in the Taisha Heavenly Palace.
Then send the Divine Peach Tree to offer amnesty...
You can divide and conquer; even the strongest fortress has its weakest point inside.
I patted the branches of the Divine Peach Tree.
Zhou Yuan encouraged him:
"Work hard."
Whether the Netherworld can flourish depends on you.
Having said that, the Daoist in the green robe glanced at the Divine Peach Tree and said meaningfully:
"The Emperor Fengdu pursues the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos."
"He probably spends most of his time practicing."
"You should strive diligently in matters concerning the netherworld."
Suddenly, the Divine Peach Tree felt that the peaches hanging on its branches had become heavier. Otherwise, why would it feel as if a mountain was pressing down on it? Perhaps this was a sense of mission.
"Master!"
"I'd rather have a single peach in the netherworld than ten thousand trees in the Primordial World."
"Little Peach awaits your return inspection in the Netherworld."
Three enormous divine peaches fell from the void into Zhou Yuan's arms.
He casually picked up a divine peach and took a bite.
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes.
Surprisingly, it's quite sweet.
He waved his sleeves.
Then, Bronze Gate appeared in the Grand Void.
Amidst the dim light filling the sky, Zhou Yuan waved his hand slightly.
"They're gone!"
Having said that, he stepped into the [Ghost Gate].
After Zhou Yuan left.
The Divine Peach Tree could no longer contain itself.
A faint light flashed.
A chubby, fair-skinned doll wearing a black bib and holding a huge divine peach emerged from the tree trunk.
He soared into the Grand Void and looked around.
Then, following the mysterious energy, they flew eastward, their eyes filled with determination.
