Punish Evil and Promote Good

The Xuan paper is unfolded.

A wisp of energy stretched across the sky.

In an instant, the Imperial Capital the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, and indeed the entire nation, trembled!

What is this?

"What a terrifying aura! Could it be a decree from the Deity?"

"No... it's too scary!"

Below the imperial city, almost all the powerful figures couldn't help but kneel on the ground!

Even powerful figures like Mu Qingcang and Daoist Si Dong were unable to resist.

This is an irresistible pressure; the only recourse is submission and worship!

What is this?

Mu Qingcang asked in alarm!

The Daoist Si Dong, Si Dong, was even more astonished and said:

"Unbelievable! This... this seems like... Deity decree? Is there a Deity behind them?!"

His words stunned everyone around him!

Deity decree?

Behind Mu Wanqing and the others, there is a god?!

This is absolutely Heaven Shaking!

It should be known that in the vast Great Ruin Realm, throughout history, only a handful of beings have been able to become Deity, and they are all recorded in myths and legends, and are worshipped by all the spirits of the Great Ruin Realm!

The sects favored by the gods are all top-tier forces.

Such a force could easily destroy an empire.

"How could this be... Isn't the Ancestor Village located in the Burial God Great Wilderness? How could they possess a Deity decree?"

"Impossible! The Burial God Great Wilderness is a forbidden land that even Deity cannot set foot in. How could there be Deity here?!"

"It's over. No matter what, once the Deity decree is issued, no one can stand against it!"

Everyone was terrified.

And in the sky.

Mu Xuanfeng, the Old Ancestor of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, felt the terrifying aura and his expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly took out many things.

There are broken armor pieces, ancient bronze bells, and other artifacts. These are ancestral artifacts that the ancestors of Wood Spirit Village obtained from the depths of the Great Wilderness and later brought out of the Great Wilderness!

"Ancestral artifact, save me!"

He shouted, and all the ancestral artifacts erupted.

One or two of them, in particular, displayed an immense power and prestige.

However, in Mu Wanqing's hands, the Scroll was now fully unrolled.

Those are four big characters!

"Punish evil and promote good!"

In an instant, the Heavenly Dao roared, and all the Dao descended; these four words seemed to be commanding all the Dao in the world!

The airflow subsides.

The many rare ancestral artifacts in Mu Xuanfeng's hands suddenly exploded!

"Bang bang bang!"

Everything exploded!

Mu Xuanfeng let out a shrill scream and fell from the sky.

"Bang!"

He crashed to the ground, sending dust and smoke flying everywhere.

The overwhelming aura descended like a waterfall, leaving no one able to escape.

"Ah!"

"No, my cultivation has been severed..."

"I've become a cripple..."

The Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty in utter despair!

In particular, those guardian elders who had always harbored ulterior motives had their cultivation completely destroyed and were obliterated by the invisible Great Dao!

"Why... why!"

Mu Qingcang's eyes were bloodshot with rage, filled with resentment, but under the crushing power of the Great Dao, he was like an ant, utterly destroyed.

"This has nothing to do with us, why are you dragging us into this? No... have mercy!"

Daoist Si Dong's expression changed drastically. He couldn't understand why he had been implicated and had his cultivation erased even though he hadn't made a move.

Not just here.

Throughout the entire Imperial Capital of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, in every street and alley, and even in the desolate mountains and wilderness, wherever there were people, all living beings prostrated themselves before this aura.

All those who harbor harmful intentions will suffer this calamity!

This... is punishment for evil!

Among the countless people in the palace, there was one person whose body was infused with the power of the Great Dao, whose vital energy was nourishing his body, and whose cultivation was exploding!

The Mu Zhenkong!

His almost decaying body and lost cultivation were actually restored by heaven and earth!

This is the blessing of the Great Way!

This... is the promotion of good!

In an instant, his previously destroyed cultivation level was recreated.

The Dao Integration Realm, the Realm of Spirit Condensation, the Realm of Spirit Refining...

Ultimately, with the help of countless great principles, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

"Good and evil are clearly distinguished. Only by adhering to one's own heart and fearing nothing, can good... also reach the divine!"

He looked up to the sky and roared!

Breakthrough to... the Divine Realm!

Everyone in the audience was stunned!

What's going on?!

"The will of the Deity... those who obey live, those who defy die!"

Daoist Si Dong, for at that moment he understood completely.

This... is absolutely Deity decree!

Only Deity can do this, can punish evil and promote good with a single thought.

Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished... This saying will only truly come true when the Deity actually appear.

Meanwhile, in the sky, Mu Rantian, Mu Nanshan, and the others were utterly shocked by what they saw.

They all knew that what Senior Li had bestowed was absolutely extraordinary.

But I never expected it to be... so terrifying!

It influences the great principles of heaven and earth, and monitors the good and evil in people's hearts...

No one can escape!

Moreover, once the decree was issued, even they were affected!

Mu Rantian took another step forward, directly reaching the Perfection of the Condensation Realm. He was just one step away from breaking through to the Spirit Refining Realm.

Mu Nanshan rushed to the seventh level of the Concentration Realm!

Mu Wanqing herself also entered the Concentration Realm and reached the Eighth Heaven!

"The good and evil in people's hearts are not invisible; they shine brightly in the Unseen... Under the decree of the law, I clearly see that some people's hearts are dark, and therefore their bodies are distorted and corrupted by the Principle; others' hearts yearn for light, and therefore the creation of heaven and earth is in harmony with them..."

The overwhelming illusory image of grapes, at this moment, seemed to evolve into an endless Great Dao. It resonated with the Dao principles of heaven and earth, and stepped into the realm of Spirit Refining. At this moment, it uttered an ancient murmur:

"This Senior Li... is truly a remarkable person!"

Mu Wanqing looked at the Xuan paper in her hand, a complex expression flashing across her face.

Senior Li... just what level of attainment do you possess?

At this moment, the outcome is already decided.

She took a deep breath and put away the Xuan paper.

The vital energy between heaven and earth slowly dissipated at this moment.

Inside the palace, everyone was still kneeling on the ground.

Guests from various powerful factions, officials of the imperial court, members of the Qingyang Sect, and others...

A large portion of them were rendered useless.

Only a few, whose cultivation was not severed, and a very small number, such as Mu Zhenkong, experienced a terrifying increase in their cultivation.

Mu Wanqing floated down from the sky.

All eyes were on her, filled with awe and reverence.

"A messenger of the Deity..."

"No wonder, no wonder she survived even after being deprived of her celestial body... She has Deity favor."

The crowd murmured amongst themselves.

"Our Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty is finished... utterly finished."

"If I had known she had Deity behind her, why would things have come to this? Why would things have come to this!"

"Our Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, in order to climb up to the Servant God Sect, actually turned on a favored disciple of a Deity. How foolish and laughable! Haha, we've chosen the long way around, courting our own demise!"

Everyone in the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty was filled with extreme regret at this moment!

"Spare me! Spare me!"

Mu Xuanfeng struggled to his feet, his old face etched with fear, and said:

"Miss Wanqing, this has nothing to do with me! It was all done by these unfilial descendants! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

He was utterly terrified.

"I, Mu Qingcang, dedicated myself to the dynasty... but unexpectedly, I've stumbled upon this path of no return..."

Mu Qingcang's face turned ashen, and tears streamed down his face!

I'm finished... the entire dynasty is finished!

However, Mu Wanqing remained utterly indifferent.

She walked step by step toward Mu Wanxiu.

"... What are you doing? Get away, get away!"

Mu Wanxiu trembled, utterly terrified.

Thank you for teaching me something.

Mu Wanqing spoke, saying:

"Taught me how to deal with bad people."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand.

Mu Wanxiu's chest split open!

Blood flowed continuously.

She let out a bloodcurdling scream, and then she died.

"Wanxiu!"

Shangguan Tongruo rushed over, her once beautiful and noble face now filled with tears, filled with extreme regret, as she embraced Mu Wanxiu's body.

"Mu Wanqing, you vile woman, you killed my daughter! You deserve to die a horrible death, you deserve to be torn to pieces..."

Mu Wanqing said:

"Do you know that it was you who killed your daughter?"

"However, I still thank you for your Curse."

Then, he raised his hand.

Shangguan Tongruo was decapitated!

Slaughter!

Her resolve was as firm as iron.

Now she understands that only by punishing evil can good be promoted. If there is no punishment for evildoers, then the efforts and innocence of good people will only be taken advantage of by bad people!

This era punishes good people and rewards bad people.

The honesty of most people only allows the cunning of a minority to flourish.

The risks taken by most people only benefit a small minority.

The labor of most people can only lead to the wealth of a small number of people.

Only by first becoming someone who has a sword in their hand and dares to use it can one talk about protecting kindness.

This is also the truth she gleaned from Senior Li's four-character mantra!

Ultimately, the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty was destroyed!

People from the Qingyang Sect and other major forces were expelled.

"That's great, that's great!"

Mu Zhenkong was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at Mu Wanqing and said, "Fortunately, everything has been salvaged... Otherwise, I would truly deserve to die!"

He had been filled with remorse, but only now does he feel at peace.

"Senior Mu, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you hadn't used your life essence to extend Wanqing's life, Wanqing would already be dead. You have no need to feel ashamed."

Mu Wanqing spoke.

Mu Zhenkong nodded and said, "Now that the dynasty is without a ruler, Miss Wanqing... I think you should ascend the throne!"

His eyes were filled with fervor as he said:

"Only you can rule the entire dynasty!"

Mu Wanqing was taken aback upon hearing this.

"I?"

She looked up at the dragon throne above, somewhat bewildered.

Beside him, Mu Rantian nodded and said:

"Senior Li to have us leave Wood Spirit Village clearly indicates his desire for us to establish influence in the Eastern Wasteland!"

"Only in this way can we better serve him!"

"And you, Wanqing, are the one chosen by Senior Li, so there's no need to refuse!"

Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing remained silent for a long time.

"My life, everything I have, was given to me by Senior Li."

"In this life, I only ask to repay Senior Li's great kindness, and that is all I desire... I am willing to ascend the throne!"

Mu Zhenkong was overjoyed!

On that day, he summoned the clansmen in the imperial court whose cultivation had not been abolished to an audience with Mu Wanqing.

Meanwhile, the people from Wood Spirit Village finally arrived.

The Empress ascends the throne in the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty!

Everything that happened in the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland.

In an instant, the world took notice!
