Traveling across the globe for the first time

The Divine Emperor said indifferently, "There's nothing to be dissatisfied with. The victor is king and the loser is villain. Since we've lost, I have no complaints about whatever you want to do with me."

However, I have one request: may I dissolve my body and transform into the Dao of Heaven and Earth?
This can be considered as making some amends to the Three Realms.

No matter what, the God Emperor was the number one among the Nine Emperors, ruling the Three Realms for tens of thousands of years. Now, being judged in front of all the powerful beings was already humiliating enough. He didn't want to die in such a wretched way.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoran immediately scoffed, "With all the lousy things you've done, you still want to transform the world? What a pipe dream!"

Old Zhang is announcing your punishment after death, but how you die isn't up to you to decide!

Of course, he wouldn't let the Divine Emperor transform the world. A powerful being of that level would have great merit by dispersing his cultivation and returning it to the world, which would wash away most of the karma he owed.

Upholding a previous ruling without supporting causal evidence will come at a price.

It's like a person with a long history of bad deeds, whom everyone finds despicable. If someone is convicted of stealing a wallet, the judge can impose a severe punishment, but absolutely cannot impose the death penalty, otherwise it will inevitably be met with criticism.

Heaven's justice is absolute!

All punishments must be within reasonable limits.

Therefore, the God Emperor must be killed, not dissolved into flesh; this applies not only to the God Emperor but also to all other emperors.

The God Emperor's proposal was rejected, and his face immediately darkened. The other emperors also looked rather grim.

Although they were unaware of the details, they instinctively felt that dismemberment was the best outcome, but unfortunately Zhang Haoran disagreed.

By this time, Fang Ping had already completed the main structure of the underworld, and this kind of drama of judging emperors was certainly not to be missed.

So he advised, "Don't even think about surrendering. You were prisoners of war who were suppressed, not surrendering voluntarily. You can't enjoy such preferential treatment."

However, the sentence can be negotiated.

Zhang Tao and Zhang Haoran both played the bad cop, so Fang Ping naturally had to play the good cop. He said with a serious face, "We, the new martial arts practitioners, have always been fair in our rewards and punishments. Now we're giving you a chance to redeem yourselves through meritorious service!"
They handed over all the treasures and resources, and recorded all the cultivation techniques and secret arts.

I will reduce your sentences appropriately based on the amount of resources you submit and the level of your cultivation techniques.

Then he looked at the God Emperor and said, "Like you, if you are willing to hand over all your treasures and cultivation techniques, you can reduce your sentence to three thousand years at most."

The sentence I'm referring to is the time spent in hell; the other punishments will still be carried out.

Although Fang Ping was playing the "good cop," he still had his bottom line. No matter how many treasures the other party offered, he still had to be punished.

He then changed the subject, saying, "Furthermore, don't even think about those treasures that can make you rise again. After experiencing thousands of reincarnations, you won't even know who you are in the future, let alone find the treasures of this life."

With my senior brother Zhang's cultivation level, if I'm not afraid of the trouble of searching bit by bit, I can find you no matter how well you hide.

This is your last chance. Think carefully before you answer.

Upon hearing these words, everyone looked at Fang Ping speechlessly. This guy really never forgets to plunder resources.

However, no one had any objections. The emperors were all old hands, and they would definitely have a backup plan. The resources hidden by such people would be extremely difficult to find.

We can't really expect Zhang Haoran to search inch by inch, can we? He's the strongest being in the Three Realms right now; it would be too beneath him to do something like that.

As for Fang Ping's suggestion that they perform meritorious service to atone for their sins, no one objected. They would first endure thousands of years of torment in the eighteenth level of hell, and then be reincarnated so many times. In such a long time, they might all become emperors.

Even if they were to return to martial arts, they would not pose any threat.

Upon hearing that there was still a chance to redeem himself through meritorious service, the God Emperor's eyes lit up. He knew that after so many reincarnations, his backup plans were probably no longer needed, so he might as well use them to lessen his punishment.

Although he has become indifferent to everything and is not afraid of life and death, he is still willing to suffer less.

The God Emperor first handed over his storage equipment, and then handed over all his cultivation techniques, including not only those he had created, but also some that he had collected.

Fang Ping excitedly took the storage equipment and reminded him, "The resources in this equipment are spoils of war and cannot be converted into cash."

However, both the cultivation techniques and the treasures can reduce one's sentence.

Even if you hand over the cultivation techniques of other emperors or hidden treasures, you can still get a reduced sentence.

"I don't care where the stuff came from; whoever hands it over to me will get a reduced sentence."

Upon hearing this, the emperors immediately tensed up, fearing that their hidden treasures would be handed over by others. They had been scheming against each other for tens of thousands of years, and none of them could guarantee that their backup plans had not been discovered by others.

Sure enough, upon hearing about this good news, the God Emperor immediately revealed a bunch of coordinates, most of which were his backup plans, as well as treasures hidden by other emperors.

To be honest, these old foxes have a lot of backup plans. They not only hid some treasures in the Nine Heavens, but also in the underground caves, the Forbidden Sea, and even the mortal realm. It seems they have sent many clones down to the mortal realm over the years.

Fang Ping immediately took out a communicator and sent a message to the human powerhouses remaining on Earth and in the outer regions, instructing them to open those treasure vaults immediately and report the data.

Since all the enemies in the Three Realms have been dealt with, everyone has plenty of time, so they simply waited patiently.

Actually, everyone didn't have to wait long; it was only a few hours before the treasures hidden by the God Emperor were unearthed.

The reason for the speed is mainly because the protective measures of those treasure vaults are all passwords set with mental frequency.

The God Emperor knew that by the time he could use these backup plans, his original body would have already perished, and he would not have such great strength after reincarnation.

Therefore, those treasure vaults can be opened as long as the password is correct.

Given that those who intervened were all true gods, and with specific coordinates, tearing through space would allow them to reach their destination very quickly.

"Hahaha! We're rich now!"

Fang Ping was so happy he was practically dumbfounded listening to the numbers constantly popping up from the communicator.

The Divine Emperor truly lives up to his reputation as the number one among the Nine Emperors; he is quite adept at plundering resources.

The resources he contributed were several times the total wealth of the human race.

Moreover, it has resources of all grades without any gaps. It includes top-tier treasures such as spiritual marrow, true blood, life elixir, and star stones, as well as energy stones, qi and blood pills, body tempering pills, and life recovery pills. It has everything, and the quantity is enormous.

Upon seeing those high-quality Qi and Blood Pills, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

It seems that the God Emperor had considered being reborn among the human race and had made considerable preparations for it.

Among the treasures looted this time were alloy weapons of various grades, divine weapons, and even two divine artifacts.

This is a true master, with flawless strategies. Even if their physical body perishes and their origin is reincarnated, they can still rise rapidly with these resources. Zhang Tao and the other human powerhouses were overjoyed. With so many resources, the human race could quickly cultivate a large number of powerful individuals.

At the same time, they admired Fang Ping's methods. If he hadn't come up with a way to redeem himself and get the God Emperor to hand over the resources, who knows who would have benefited from these treasures.

If it falls into the hands of demons or other malicious forces, it will definitely cause considerable trouble.

The crowd first looked at the remaining emperors, and then at Zhang Tao, hoping he would deliver his verdict soon and dig out all the emperors' assets to see just how much wealth they had accumulated.

After a moment of excitement, Fang Ping forced himself to suppress his smile and solemnly announced, "Given the large amount of resources you have contributed, I have decided to shorten your sentence to 5000 years."

After he finished speaking, he began to observe the expressions of the other emperors. Seeing that some of them looked annoyed, he realized that their hidden wealth was not as great as that of the God Emperor.

The current Divine Emperor is the benchmark. If Fang Ping doesn't show enough tolerance, other emperors may not be willing to give up all their wealth.

Fang Ping rolled his eyes and said, "Your strength is hard-earned, and it would be a waste to kill you directly. I have decided to grant you special treatment and allow you to transform the power of chaos together with the Heavenly Emperor."

Then someone will challenge you to a duel and give you a dignified death.

Seeing the God Emperor's puzzled expression, he said smugly, "I will reduce your sentence according to the amount of chaotic power you convert, but it cannot be less than three thousand years."

Upon hearing this, the God Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. He could barely manage to convert the power of chaos, and the sentence was reduced from ten thousand years to three thousand years, which was already very lenient. It seems that the power of money is always useful.

Moreover, he also thought of a problem: even if he completed the conversion of the Chaos Power, he would not have to go to the Underworld to serve his sentence immediately. He would still have to wait for the challenge from the human race's strongmen. If he was strong enough, he could delay for a while longer and perhaps still have a chance to escape. Even if he could not escape, reducing his sentence would be good.

The world is never short of variables. If a powerful outsider invades, he can take the opportunity to escape, or at least self-destruct and destroy the world...

With the God Emperor as an example, other emperors began to be eager to try, all wanting to contribute treasures to reduce their punishment.

Zhang Tao began to pronounce judgments one by one, stating that Donghuang and Doutiandi were backup plans left by the Divine Emperor and had also participated in many schemes.

Since they were not the masterminds, they were sentenced to 5000 years in hell.

After surrendering all his treasures and martial arts techniques as compensation, his sentence was shortened to 2000 years.

There was also an unexpected twist: because the incarnation of the Eastern Emperor teleported Zhang Haoran directly to the Heavenly Emperor's Palace within the boundary point, allowing him to avoid the trap, the time was reduced by another 500 years.

The Western Emperor, Northern Emperor, and Beast Emperor who followed only participated in the Immortal Origin Project and the siege of the Three Heavenly Emperors.

They didn't have many schemes detrimental to humanity, so their sentences were all set at 3000 years. After handing over the treasures and techniques, their sentences were generally between 500 and 1000 years.

After all, they were just following the crowd and their schemes were only against the emperors, not the powerful figures of the Three Realms. The one who was punished the most was the Northern Emperor, because his behavior was despised by others.

During this time, Tianji and Yueling both pleaded for their father, but they had only submitted to humanity after the war and had not made much of a contribution.

Therefore, their pleas for leniency were only so-so, at most reducing their sentences by a hundred years.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Tao did not tell Yue Ling about how the Northern Emperor had transformed her into a seed of life. This was not to whitewash the Northern Emperor, but because he did not want to continue to hurt Yue Ling. This proud daughter of heaven had already suffered enough, so he wanted to leave her with some beautiful illusions.

After hearing Zhang Tao's verdict, Li Changsheng whispered, "Isn't this punishment a bit too lenient?"
The emperor committed so many evil deeds, and his punishment has not even lasted a thousand years. I fear those old fogies will become dissatisfied.

Fang Ping said meaningfully, "Light?"

"hehe!
Teacher Li, do you have some misunderstanding about hell?
How about I send you to try it out?
"If you can stay in hell for ten years without going insane, I'll give you a divine artifact."

Li Changsheng immediately understood Fang Ping's meaning. The eighteen levels of hell he designed were more terrifying than anyone could imagine. But that made sense; how could he punish those emperors if the punishment wasn't severe enough?
……

What followed was the trial of the Southern Emperor, who was sentenced to serve five thousand years in prison, entirely in the eighteenth level of hell.

Who told him to shatter the essence of the Three Heavenly Emperors with the Desolate Hammer?

This is the God Emperor's number one henchman, and he must be severely punished. Even if he surrenders all his possessions and cultivation techniques, he should still suffer 2000 years of torture in hell.

The next three are all key figures, starting with the treacherous emperor.

Zhang Tao initially sentenced him to 8000 years, but considering that the treacherous emperor had been severely beaten last time and had handed over most of his wealth to buy his life, he reduced his sentence to 5,000 years.

Upon hearing the verdict, the Human Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his decision to voluntarily descend to the mortal realm to be beaten and repay part of the karmic debt was the right one.

Afterwards, the treacherous Emperor Ji handed over all the cultivation techniques and hidden treasures, which, after conversion, shortened the time to 2500 years.

At this moment, Zhang Haoran coughed lightly and said, "When I was learning the Qi and Blood Transformation Technique within the boundary point, I received guidance from my clone."

In view of this.

Let's reduce his sentence by another 500 years.

He had promised the Human Emperor's clone that he would spare him, but now that all emperors can reincarnate, his previous promise has lost its meaning.

Therefore, reducing it by 500 years can be considered a form of compensation.

Besides, Fang Ping's design for the eighteen levels of hell is much more brutal than the original!

Ordinary martial artists would collapse after a few days inside, and even if an emperor's soul is strong, he can only last a few years at most before collapsing. 2000 years and 2500 years are actually about the same.

Zhang Haoran was the biggest contributor to this battle, and since he stepped forward to plead for leniency, no one had any objections.

Ah!
That's not quite accurate either. The Southern Emperor and the Northern Emperor had a lot of complaints. They had also taught the techniques, so why weren't their sentences reduced?
However, the current outcome is already quite lenient for them, and neither of them dares to offer any opinions.

Zhang Tao's gaze fell on the Spirit Emperor, the weakest of the emperors. She rarely participated in the plans of the other emperors, but she was involved in creating the Immortal Source and besieging the Three Heavenly Emperors. Although she played a minor role and was just a bystander, she still participated.

Moreover, she is the guardian of the Immortal Source.

After weighing the options for a long time, Zhang Tao finally decided to sentence her to three thousand years.

An even more awkward situation arose: the Spirit Emperor's strength was already weak, and he also had to support the gluttonous Cangmao. His wealth was not substantial, and even if he handed over all his possessions and treasures, he could only offset a thousand years at most.

This was still due to the advantage of being a female emperor. Fang Ping also opened a back door and tried to give an inflated assessment; otherwise, even 800 years would have been difficult.

It's uncertain whether anyone would be willing to learn the cultivation techniques created by the Spirit Emperor.

"I object!"

Upon hearing Zhang Tao's verdict, Fang Ping's chest heaved, and a large, furry head emerged from his collar—it was Cang Mao! (End of Chapter)
