I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

In mid-air, as he flew swiftly, Qin Yao suddenly heard the buzzing of flies. He abruptly stopped in mid-air and stared intently in the direction from which the sound came.

In an instant, countless black flies, carrying a strong stench of decay, gathered in that direction, followed by a sharp screech from within: "Emperor Yan, do you like the gift I gave you?"

Although Qin Yao did not inherit the memories of Emperor Yan, based on his "prophetic" ability, he knew very well whose voice it was: "Chi, I advise you to immediately stop this behavior that harms others and yourself."

"I haven't told you what gift I'm giving you yet," Chi's voice rang out again from the swarm of flies.

Qin Yao sneered, "What else could it be but a plague at this time? Chi, don't forget karma. The more plagues you release, the more lives you harm, the greater the karma you accumulate."

"No, Emperor Yan, you are wrong."

Chi retorted, "Everything in this world exists for a reason. Rather than saying that I invented the plague, it's more accurate to say that the world needs the plague, but humans simply don't. However, humans are not without their own problems. From this perspective, the plague is merely a means of eliminating pests."

Qin Yao said, "Don't use your own conjecture to glorify evil deeds. What makes you think the world needs a plague?"

"The fact that Heaven has not punished me so far is proof enough. What is this? It is tacit approval!" Chi replied.

"It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet." Qin Yao shook his head, too lazy to say anything more to him, and said, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, get lost and don't bother me."

"Emperor Yan..."

"Call me Shennong," Qin Yao interrupted.

"Very well, Shennong," Chi Lengsu said. "I'm not here to argue with you, but to give you a chance."

"What opportunity?" Qin Yao asked.

“I will stop releasing the plague once you kill Ruoxi and then commit suicide in the most painful way,” Chi said.

Qin Yao chuckled: "Do you think I'm that stupid?"

“It’s not that you’re stupid, it’s that you have great love. Sacrificing the two of you to save countless lives is worthwhile for you, isn’t it?” Chi asked rhetorically.

Qin Yao's smile faded, and he waved his hand, saying, "The former Yan Emperor might have seriously considered such a proposal, but I, Shennong, will not. Chi, don't waste your time."

"Stubborn," Chi chuckled. "I know you must be going through a lot of internal turmoil right now, but that's exactly what I want."

"You're rambling on and on, you don't know anything."

Qin Yao slowly raised his right hand, and a golden flame suddenly shot out from his palm, instantly burning all the black flies in front of him into black smoke, which then dissipated into the void.

What kind of torment did he suffer?
He's not even a good person, so why would he get caught up in internal conflict because he can't risk his life to save others?
Lean less.

Qin Yao strode through the void to the front of the South Heavenly Gate, where a deep and majestic voice suddenly came from within: "Who goes there?"

"I am Shennong, and I have important matters to discuss with the Heavenly Emperor."

"What urgent matter is it?" the voice asked again.

Qin Yao responded, "Please inform us of the matter concerning the plague among humans."

"I cannot inform the Emperor," the voice said. "You have come here seeking help. If everyone in trouble could come directly to the Heavenly Emperor to plead for mercy, would the Emperor have time for anything else?"

Qin Yao paused slightly, then immediately cast a spell and cried out, "Shennong of the mortal realm requests an audience with the Heavenly Emperor. I beg the Heavenly Emperor to summon me."

The sound pierced through the South Heavenly Gate and resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Palace, immediately attracting countless eyes...

Inside the Lingxiao Palace.

Wearing a crown and a golden robe, the middle-aged emperor with an ancient and handsome face slowly raised his head, his gaze instantly piercing through the distant distance to the Southern Heavenly Gate: "Shennong, why are you making such a fuss?"

Upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor's voice, the divine generals who were about to appear immediately stopped, and the South Heavenly Gate fell silent.

In the silence, Qin Yao said in a deep voice, "I have come for the plague on earth."

The Heavenly Emperor said, "There is a Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Realm and a Human King in the Mortal Realm. The two realms do not interfere with each other, so I have no reason to help you."

"Does Your Majesty wish to be revered by the people of the world?" Qin Yao asked.

The Heavenly Emperor chuckled: "What's the use?"

With a flick of his hand, Qin Yao summoned a ball of faith power and said, "This is a great power generated by human faith. Your Majesty can take a good look."

On his throne, the Heavenly Emperor slowly suppressed his smile, probed the ball of faith with his divine sense, and then said, "Venus, go to the Southern Heavenly Gate and bring Shennong to the Lingxiao Palace."

"Here."

Among the officials below, a kind old man with white beard and hair, holding a whisk in his hand, stepped forward to respond. His body instantly transformed into a golden light and landed behind the South Heavenly Gate in the blink of an eye.

"Greetings, Immortal Master." Qin Yao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Venus waved his hand and said, "Shennong, come with me."

Qin Yao followed behind the other party, traveling swiftly from the South Heavenly Gate to the Lingxiao Palace, where countless gazes, imbued with immense pressure, fell upon him.

"Shennong, does your power come from the power of faith?" At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor asked with a serious expression.

"Half and half," Qin Yao said. "The other half is what I gained through cultivation."

The Heavenly Emperor looked him up and down and asked, "How did you discover this power?"

Qin Yao responded, "When I saved countless people as Shennong, and these people worshipped me as a god, this power appeared in my body."

Your Majesty, if I can obtain this power, you certainly can too.

If the legend of Shennong seeking help from Heaven and the Heavenly Emperor helping to resolve the plague spreads throughout the Three Realms, then you will surely receive a powerful force of faith.

The Heavenly Emperor remained silent, while the immortals were filled with curiosity.

"Does this power only arise among humans?" After a long while, the Heavenly Emperor asked.

Qin Yao shook his head: "It may not only originate among humans, but human faith is the purest and most powerful among countless races."

For example, the immortals respect the Heavenly Emperor, but they do not worship him; therefore, you have not seen this power before.

The Heavenly Emperor seemed to be deep in thought when he slowly asked, "Shennong, how do you want me to help you?"

Qin Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the hardest part of the beginning had been done well, and the subsequent negotiations would be relatively easier: "May I ask Your Majesty, are the immortal seeds left behind by the Great God Pangu in the Heavenly Realm?"

The Heavenly Emperor paused slightly, then said, "In the Heavenly Realm, you intend to use this to quell the plague?"

Qin Yao said, "A simple immortal seed is naturally unable to suppress the plague, but if we use immortal seeds to grow divine objects, it might be able to suppress this evil power of the plague."

"You're overthinking it. The immortal seed left behind by the great god Pangu should be more than enough to eliminate the plague. But the problem is, this immortal seed simply cannot be grown. The Flower Goddess has been studying the immortal seed for many years, without exception."

Qin Yao pursed his lips and said, "Could you let me see the Flower Goddess? Perhaps my faith can help the immortal seed grow."

The Heavenly Emperor's mind stirred slightly, and he said, "Very well, I will take you to find the Flower Goddess." "Your Majesty, we also want to go and see her," Venus suddenly spoke up from among the celestial officials, expressing the sentiments of all the immortals.

The Heavenly Emperor chuckled and slowly rose to his feet: "Then let's go together and see if this Shennong can truly help the Flower Goddess..."

Not long after.

The celestial beings arrived in a garden, only to find eight figures standing listlessly before the celestial basins, their dejection evident.

"Cough cough."

Leading his entourage to the celestial basin, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly coughed heavily.

As if waking from a dream, the Eight Immortals saw his figure. Except for one slightly older woman who called him "brother," the other women all called him "father emperor," thus revealing their respective identities.

The Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly and asked, "Flower Goddess, what happened? You all look very sad."

The elder fairy sighed and said, "I and the seven fairies tried almost every method we could think of, but we still couldn't cultivate the fairy seed, so we were somewhat desperate..."

The Heavenly Emperor pursed his lips and glanced at Qin Yao.

Qin Yao understood and stepped forward, saying, "Flower Goddess, do you have any relevant cultivation records?"

"Who are you?" The Flower Goddess looked at him with curiosity and asked softly.

The Heavenly Emperor smiled and said, "His name is Shennong, and I invited him to help you."

A feeling of gratitude welled up in the Flower Goddess's heart, and she bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor Brother."

The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand and said, "If you have any records, then show them to Shennong."

The Flower Goddess nodded, and with a flick of her hand, summoned a thick book, handing it to Qin Yao: "Master Shennong, please feel free to look at it..."

Qin Yao took the book and flipped through it, discovering that it recorded at least hundreds of ingenious ideas. In comparison, using the best water and the best soil seemed rather ordinary.

However, even so, the Pangu Immortal Seed still did not bloom.

half an hour.

Qin Yao silently closed the book and pondered, "Judging from this record, the seeds not germinating is not a problem with survival conditions."

"What is the problem?" the Flower Goddess asked.

Qin Yao casually placed the book on the edge of a celestial basin, then stared at the soil in the basin and said, "Great God Pangu above, if you have a spirit in heaven, please hear what this junior has to say."

The world you have created is now suffering from a plague. Wherever black mosquitoes carrying disease and poison pass, life is cut off and the stench fills the air, like pustules appearing on the skin—it is utterly terrifying.

This junior wishes to resolve this abscess, but lacks a crucial ingredient. Therefore, on behalf of all living beings, I implore you to manifest your power and provide guidance…

His voice, amplified by magical power, resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Palace, but all the immortals, including the Heavenly Emperor, felt it was meaningless.

After all, everyone knows that the great god Pangu has been dead for many years, so how could he still have any independent consciousness?
Just as they were exchanging sarcastic glances at each other, the soil inside the fairy basin suddenly moved.

Sensing the change, the immortals turned to look at the immortal basins, and were astonished to find that the soil in all the immortal basins was trembling slightly. Then, shoots sprouted, roots grew, and eventually, immortal herbs of different colors and shapes bloomed.

Among them, the celestial herb before Shennong was the most splendid, with vibrant colors, a jade-like fragrance, and an elegant and magnificent appearance...

Before this, no one could have imagined that such words could be used to describe a magical herb.

"So beautiful, so pretty."

Among the seven fairies, the fairy in purple kept turning her head to look around, feeling that she couldn't take it all in, and was deeply shocked by the beautiful scene.

“I understand now. It’s because there’s still a remnant of Pangu’s will within the seed,” said the Flower Goddess. “To make the seed sprout, external things alone won’t suffice; we must move that will. Shennong, you are truly amazing.”

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "It's not that I'm so powerful, it's that the Great God Pangu still deeply loves this world."

"This thing has just appeared and is so beautiful, what should we name it?" the purple-clad fairy suddenly asked.

The Flower Goddess immediately said, "This plant blooms because of Shennong, please name it."

Without hesitation, Qin Yao replied, "Flowers!"

"Oh~~~" In an instant, the three fairies cheered in unison.

The Flower Goddess blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, how can it be named after me?"

Qin Yao said, "This immortal basin, the soil, and the water quality are all thanks to you."

"But I failed to make them bloom!" said the Flower Goddess.

"What does it matter? You let me name them, so these beautiful plants should be called flowers." Qin Yao smiled, then pointed to different plants and said, "Peony, chrysanthemum, rose..."

As he continued to name the flowers, everyone fell silent, their gazes shifting between his face and the flowers, momentarily awestruck by his extraordinary talent.

After a long while, when Qin Yao had finished "naming" all the flowers in the fairy pots, seeing his smiling face, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly felt a surge of appreciation for talent and asked, "Shennong, would you like to become an immortal?"

The immortals were taken aback, and then looked at Qin Yao with envy.

The Heavenly Emperor personally invited him to ascend to immortality, so it's easy to imagine that the rank of this immortal position must be quite high.

To their astonishment, Shennong shook his head and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Heavenly Emperor, but I still prefer the mortal world to the Heavenly Court."

The Heavenly Emperor sighed softly, "That's such a pity."

Qin Yao, however, was quite carefree and laughed, "The Immortal Realm will surely be full of talented people in the future, and it won't lack Shennong. By the way, Your Majesty, could you allow me to pick some flowers and seeds to bring back to the mortal world to save people?"

"Of course." The Heavenly Emperor smiled and said, "Flower Goddess, you can help Shennong pick the flowers."

“Brother, I also want to go to the mortal world.” The Flower Goddess said, “I want to help Shennong plant flowers all over the three realms so that there will be no more plagues in the world.”

The Heavenly Emperor's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "No, don't forget our own younger brother."

If you are in the celestial realm, your brother can still protect you. But if you go to the mortal realm, your brother will be too far away to reach you, and he will definitely harm you.

At that time, not only will you be in danger, but Shennong will also suffer misfortune along with you. Even the work of planting flowers to ward off the plague will be hampered.

Flower Goddess: "..."

A thoughtful look appeared in Qin Yao's eyes.

He knew that the younger brother the Jade Emperor spoke of was the Demon Emperor.

In the original series, because it was prophesied that it would bring about a calamity when it was born, it was sealed away outside the Nine Heavens.

Even though his physical body was destroyed, his primordial spirit remained powerful, making him arguably the most central villain in the entire legendary world… (End of Chapter)
