Dongwang Gong nodded. Uchiha Shin was right—everything in existence cycled and changed in turn.
No matter what it was, nothing could remain unchanged forever. If you stayed unchanged, it only meant you were falling behind.
While others kept improving, remaining where you were meant you were regressing.
"Youth is wonderful. Only the young have vigor and vitality, enough to make this dull and murky Three Realms teem with life." Dongwang Gong smiled as he gazed westward.
After chatting for a while, the two went their separate ways.
Uchiha Shin arrived at the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, where the matter had yet to be resolved.
After Yellow-Robed Monster was brought to the Heavenly Court, he received no punishment, nor was anyone sent to torture a confession out of him.
Carefree Great Emperor merely had him locked in the Heavenly Prison, then made an announcement to the Three Realms, publicly reprimanding Yellow-Robed Monster.
"Kui Mulang descended to the mortal world without permission and committed such acts. He has indeed violated the heavenly laws and should be punished. I have decided to demote Kui Mulang to a mortal, so that he may suffer the seven emotions and six desires of the human world. What do you all think?" Carefree Great Emperor said from his throne in the High Heaven Hall, looking down at those below.
"Your Majesty, Kui Mulang committed such grave offenses and should be severely punished. He ought to be sent to hell—or even executed. How can he be allowed to return to the human world? That is not punishment, but a reward!" A deity stepped forward. He was one of Taishang Laojun's men.
Besides Carefree Great Emperor's own people, Taishang Laojun had also planted many of his people within the High Heaven Hall to keep Carefree Great Emperor's faction in check.
