"So, how did you handle this cause and effect?"
Looking at the two Dao Integration Venerables in Xiao Chongshan's hands, who were almost no longer human-like, Li Xingkong felt a chill run down his spine.
"Of course it's been cleaned up," Xiao Chongshan replied, then turned to look at the two people.
"Thirty years Hedong, thirty years west of the river; when you were chasing me all over the universe back then, did you ever think about today?"
"It was my fault, please punish me, Little Venerable..."
From within a humanoid figure, intermittent words emanated. Li Xingkong used his Divine Sense to scan the area and discovered that the speaker's body was composed of light, suggesting that he was likely the one behind the Kingdom of Fixed Light.
"Hmph, don't think you can get away with begging for mercy. You may escape death, but you won't escape punishment."
A complex-looking calculation interface appeared in front of Xiao Chongshan, displaying a large amount of data.
"This is?"
Li Xingkong glanced at it; the data displayed on the interface was messy, and he was a little confused.
"This is a grudge calculator I've put together these past few days. Just input the grudges and entanglements between them and me, and it will calculate how I should treat them."
Xiao Chongshan was too lazy to deal with interpersonal relationships or social skills, so her solution was very simple and straightforward.
Once the plan is decided, that's what we do. There's no room for discussion, and we don't bother listening to anyone's pleas or grievances.
"Alright, let me see. Old man Guang, 8000 years imprisonment, sentenced to the death of Sisyphus. Old charlatan, 12000 years imprisonment, sentenced to the death of being torn apart by chariots."
The calculation interface quickly provided the results. Xiao Chongshan waved her hand, and two small spaces were created from scratch. Then, she put the two old men, one on each side, into them.
"Your calculator is quite interesting."
Li Xingkong an eyebrow; how come he hadn't thought of that?
With this thing around, settling scores might be a bit faster.
"It was just a hasty action, nothing serious."
While Xiao Chongshan began setting up the small space, he also constructed several large arrays outside the space.
The two old men are at the Dao Integration, and there's no way to deal with them within the Primordial Universe.
While death is difficult to inflict, punishment is quite simple.
Using Magic Power and Divine Sense, they separated them from the rules of the Primordial Universe and then imprisoned them in a small space.
Without the protection of rules, the two old men were not even as good as ordinary cultivators.
After all, they didn't follow the righteous path of cultivation, but rather the technological route. Their Dao Integration Realm could be considered ascension achieved overnight. After being stripped of their abilities, they were just two old men.
Making them suffer punishment in their current state is by no means easy.
"12,000 years... You can't really wait that long, can you?"
"Why not just seal it all off? Besides, there's Huan too."
Xiao Chongshan looked completely unconcerned.
"Huan? Why would she worry about something like this..."
The will of the universe has far too many things to worry about; it simply doesn't have time to look after these few guys.
Hello, yes, we do.
Speak of the devil and he appears; just by mentioning his name, Huan showed up.
"Is the will of the universe so idle?"
Li Xingkong had some doubts.
"Get lost. I don't need your opinion on what I do."
When Huan saw Li Xingkong, his lips practically pursed to the sky. It's unclear what he did to offend this young lady again.
However, after taking a closer look, Li Xingkong noticed the Huhu stains on her cuffs and her dazed expression, and guessed that she had probably been dragged to class.
That's right, besides bringing her some textbooks, Li Xingkong also enrolled her in an online course.
These online courses were created by powerful beings from the Jade Void Palace, specifically to provide supplementary learning opportunities for the will of the universe.
It's hard to skip these online classes, because the instructors are so powerful they could literally jump over the screen and beat you up.
Not paying attention? We have captivating methods. Want to skip class? A giant hand spanning the screen controls everything. As for finding someone to attend class for you, whether it's the will of the universe or not, it's obvious at a glance.
No one would be happy to have their carefree life forcibly dragged into classes.
" Chongshan, I'll take care of these people."
Huan patted his chest and gave his assurance.
"Seriously, are you really that free? What's the point?"
Li Xingkong was quite curious.
"Oh my god, I'm so busy, so incredibly busy! I'm busy to death Heavenly Capital! And you, what kind of crazy idea are you coming up with? Are you repaying kindness with enmity? These guys are Dao Integration! Do you know how difficult it is to find a few capable cultivators in the universe?!"
Huan was clearly still a little unhappy.
"If Nascent Soul cultivators are envoys to foreign countries, then Dao Integration cultivators are like company employees. They're my prized servants! If I kill them, will you compensate me?"
"Okay, you're a beast."
I have to say, this guy learns these things really fast.
"Isn't it Dao Integration Realm wants to continue improving their cultivation, the ultimate goal is to replace the will of Heaven with my own heart? These guys' ambitions aren't exactly those of beasts of burden."
"Hmph, aren't you still here? Besides, there's the Universe Will Alliance; they're not so easily replaced."
"This time, Chongshan taught them a lesson. They'll be too tired to cause trouble for at least ten thousand years. Then I'll improve the employee handbook, add their names, and that'll solve everything."
Huan had clearly already arranged the abacus beads.
"Employee Handbook?"
"Yeah, it used to be called the Investiture of the Gods. Isn't this keeping up with the times?"
Huan rubbed his hands together and looked at Xiao Chongshan with a delighted expression.
" Chongshan girl, I can..."
She glanced at the two cages in front of her, then at Xiao Chongshan.
Here, take it.
Xiao Chongshan didn't say much, and pushed the two small spaces next to him toward Huan.
"Hey girl, I'll give you an extra discount on the contract."
Huan reached out and pinched the two small spaces in his hands. The two small spaces condensed into two glass balls, just like toys.
"Anything else? If not, I'm off. I'm rooting for you, girl, hope you surpass this guy soon."
Before leaving, Huan gave Xiao Chongshan a pep talk.
Li Xingkong remained calm and quietly contacted Jade Void Palace, adding dozens of online courses for Huan.
She must understand my good intentions.
I didn't tell Huan; I'll let her discover this surprise herself when she gets back.
"I've almost finished on my end."
After Huan left, Xiao Chongshan breathed a long sigh of relief before speaking.
"Next, I will go beyond the universe to settle my contract with Huan, and then I can ascend to immortality directly."
Do you need my help?
Li Xingkong asked instinctively.
"Help? We don't even know how to untangle our Karmic Thread yet, don't you dare make things worse for me."
Xiao Chongshan shook her head. The only karmic entanglement she couldn't handle was with Li Xingkong. Asking him for help now would only make things worse.
