Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

This was Jiang Lu's analysis based on the information about the ancestral temple. In fact, he was not very sure, but this might be the most likely one. Otherwise, if the world he was in would be destroyed simply because of crossing the world, then the underworld should have been destroyed long ago.

But on the contrary, the underworld is still alive and well. The previous spiritual realm was located in the underworld. Jiang Lu has the most say in this.

And if that one time was just a coincidence, then what about Huang Xiu'e?

She was also smuggled out from the Spirit Realm. As someone who had never won even a penny from a scratch-off lottery, Jiang Lu didn't believe that he would encounter such a low-probability event twice in a row.

And at the time, the Voice of the World also clearly told everyone that they would send the Queen Mother of the West across the border, but they could not let Yuanshi Tianzun go with her.

Although it was later proved that the Voice of the World was released by the native Yuanshi Tianzun, the future Yuanshi Tianzun, the information of the Voice of the World will be displayed on the Exorcist system.

This itself is very strange. Now that I think about it, it seems that the only way to understand it is that in the future Yuanshi Tianzun has become a part of the strategy, which is equivalent to an important NPC character responsible for issuing tasks and providing information. This is contrary to the spiritual realm defined as the real world. You know, all the characters in the spiritual realm before were not connected to the system.

If we have to make an analogy, the characters in the normal spiritual realm are more like completely free characters in an open world. When they act in the spiritual realm, there is a possibility that they will not intersect with the exorcists. But the future Yuanshi Tianzun is different. No matter what, he will appear and give guidance to the exorcists at the beginning. He is more like a linear process character.

Therefore, in his opinion, the biggest reason why the guardian god destroyed the Three Pure Ones was probably Yuanshi Tianzun.

Although it is unknown for what purpose, the guardian god requires Yuanshi Tianzun to reincarnate again and again to maintain the operation of the spiritual realm of the Three Pure Ones.

As for Jiang Lu's judgment, Queen Mother of the West was of course willing to believe it, but after all, this was not a trivial matter like marking the clown's clone and choosing between happiness and happiness, so she still questioned it slightly: "You also said that this is just your suspicion. Before it is absolutely safe, I think we should not take such a risk."

"Don't worry." Jiang Lu waved his hand: "I didn't say that it should be put on the agenda now. I will probably stay in the Three Pure Realms for a while, so it's okay to slowly verify it."

Hearing this, Queen Mother of the West, Hong Yi and the other two were secretly delighted, but Scythe and the performer raised objections.

"We have completed our mission, right? Why are we still staying here?"

"Finished? Actually, not completely, right?" Jiang Lu shook his head. "Remember, we have to send Queen Mother of the West to where she should go to complete the mission. Now it seems that our place is the only place she can go, so it is necessary to take her there. It has nothing to do with whether the Three Pure Lands will be destroyed."

The sickle and the performer nodded in approval, but this frightened the Lord of Morality.

"You want to open the door too?" he asked in a trembling voice.

A dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon.

Yuanshi Tianzun is gone, and now Jiang Lu comes. Who should, or who can stop him this time?

Seeing this, Jiang Lu hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, I will definitely not do anything rash."

“It’s hard to say.” The Lord of Dao and Morality did not agree.

"." Jiang Lu's face turned ugly, but he understood the anti-war thinking of people who had just experienced a war and longed for peace, so he patiently explained: "I am different from him."

"What's the difference?"

"He opened a two-way door, and I opened a one-way door that can only be used for exiting but not entering. This ensures that nothing from outside can come in." Jiang Lu vowed.

Daode Tianzun wanted to say something else, but Jiang Lu interrupted him and changed the subject directly: "Oh, by the way, before I go back, I think I have to do one more thing, and I need your and Lingbao Tianzun's help."

"We?" Daode Tianzun looked at Lingbao Tianzun, who was in a daze again for some reason in the distance, and asked cautiously, "What can I help you with?"

"After I recover, I have to go to the underworld and take down the traitor who is still on the battlefield in the underworld. I have to take over the underworld before he comes back. I will have to rely on you to hold the fort then."

After Jiang Lu finished speaking, he clearly felt that the Lord of Morality seemed a little embarrassed, so he added:
"It doesn't matter. If we really have to fight, you don't need to do it yourself. Just watch from the side. I can handle it myself. I just need you to hold the line."

"This" Daode Tianzun still didn't want to get involved in such matters, but after all, Jiang Lu had said so much, and this time he stopped Yuanshi Tianzun, no matter whether it was voluntary or not, but Jiang Lu did help a lot in turning the tide. It was difficult for him to refuse the request at this time.

Thinking of this, he could only nod and agreed: "Okay then, it will take you about a year to recover to your previous appearance, right? Then come find me after a year."

"A year?" Scythe and the performer looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

They have been here for several months and thought they could go back after this period was over, but they didn't expect to have to wait another year.

Let alone a year later, even now they have almost forgotten what they were doing before they came in. They only remember that they accidentally entered this random spiritual realm on the way to the headquarters.

But there is no other way. Jiang Lu is the absolute core now, and they have to follow Jiang Lu.

Fortunately, Jiang Lu shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it won't take a year."

Daode Tianzun was stunned: "Didn't you just say that it would take about a year to grow to adulthood and return to the original appearance?"

"You only listened halfway, didn't you?" Jiang Lu said unhappily, "Then I told you that you would grow faster in Xibao's body, but you didn't hear it at all. What are you using your ears for?"

"Ah?" The Lord of Dao and Virtue was puzzled at first, then he thought of something, suddenly realized, and then stood in awe.

"Anyway, just stay in there forever."

Jiang Lu looked down at Jiang Bao, who was hanging on the ground, and said firmly:

"It can be done."

“Hmm” The Lord of Morality found it difficult to comment, but was horrified to find that he did not seem to feel helpless because of this, and even felt that he could accept such a setting.

He didn't know whether he was numb or had been assimilated.

Although none of them are good things.

Perhaps only the Queen Mother of the West was the most excited at this moment.

"Really?"

"It's guaranteed." Jiang Lu gave a thumbs up with a firm expression.

"Then..." Daode Tianzun's eyes wandered, as if he was intentionally avoiding looking at Jiang Lu: "How long will it take?"

"I don't know, maybe at least one month, at most half a year. After all, only a part of it can be in there, so the effect should still be somewhat worse." Jiang Lu spread his hands helplessly.

"So the five-month difference depends on the time and frequency, right?" "Hmm."

The Lord of Morality slapped himself and said, "I asked this question unnecessarily. You don't need to think about it so seriously."

"okay."

"That's it." Daode Tianzun sighed, "I will accept it on behalf of Lingbao. When you are ready, come find me."

"Okay, that's settled then."

After saying that, Jiang Lu planned to go back to Kunlun Mountain with the Queen Mother of the West with his companions.

He turned on the live broadcast that had been muted after the Queen Mother of the West was resurrected, and blinked at the camera: "Well, today's live broadcast ends here, the host is leaving first."

At this time, almost all the people who were still staying in the live broadcast room during the long silence were neutrals. After Yuanshi Tianzun committed suicide, the chaotic evil camp had already been busy slandering Yuanshi Tianzun on major websites and writing short essays denouncing Jiang Lu for not following the voting rules, focusing on taking things out of context and setting the tone. The lawful justice camp was busy confronting them, explaining the subsequent twists and turns to people who didn't understand the situation in a fair and objective manner, with the intention of setting things right. For a while, the entire Internet was very lively.

It is conceivable that for a long time in the future, this will be a hot topic that the people of the Sanqing world will pay attention to, and will trigger a series of subsequent events. In addition, it may also be included in the materials of college entrance examination essays or civil service examinations, affecting all aspects of people's lives.

But that is something uncertain in the future. Right now, the barrage only cares about when the host will start broadcasting next time.

"Start the show, we'll talk later."

Just like all big anchors, Jiang Lu has everything he needs now. He has no purpose or reason to broadcast live, and of course he will only broadcast live based on his interests.

"Anyway, thank you for your faith, which helped me win the resurrection match."

After saying that, Jiang Lu turned off the live broadcast.

After bidding farewell to the Lord of Daode and the Lord of Lingbao, Jiang Lu and others went to Kunlun Mountain together.

At this time, in the ruins after the war, there were only the Taoist Lord of Morality who was full of infinite emotion and melancholy, and the Taoist Lord of Lingbao who sat in a daze beside the cauliflower virus left by Yuanshi Tianzun without saying a word or showing any expression.

The Lord of Dao and Virtue thought about it and sat down next to the Lord of Lingbao.

"From now on, the Three Pure Ones will become the Two Pure Ones, and our friendship with him will also be completely over."

Lingbao Tianzun glanced at Daode Tianzun and said, "He told me."

Daode Tianzun was startled: "What did you say?"

"About Jiejiao." Lingbao Tianzun turned his head back and stared at the piece of land where Yuanshi Tianzun's body once sat. "In the end, he sent me a message and explained to me that I was actually Tongtian Jiaozhu. He apologized to me and hoped to get my forgiveness."

"Uh"

The Lord of Dao and Morality was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Lingbao Tianzun's tone was very calm, but it was precisely this calmness that made him feel uneasy and uncomfortable.

After sitting quietly for a while, Lingbao Tianzun suddenly took out the fragments of the God-Slaying Sword Formation that he had collected before.

They have all lost their spirituality, although based on their material alone, they can still be considered divine weapons and are still coveted treasures for immortals and ordinary gods, but to him, they are no different from scrap iron.

But even so, he still caressed the fragments with pity and wiped the dust off them carefully: "No wonder I always feel that I have an inexplicable connection with them. It turns out that it is not an illusion."

Taking a deep breath and encouraging himself repeatedly in his heart, Daode Tianzun asked tentatively: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Me?" Lingbao Tianzun thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any thoughts. I should have some thoughts, but strangely, I don't have any. Moreover, I am calmer than I thought."

"Are you okay?" The Lord of Morality asked anxiously, a little worried that he might have been upset.

"It's okay." Lingbao Tianzun shook his head: "In fact, I have long noticed that something is wrong, but I didn't take it seriously because I didn't have any evidence. After he told me the truth, I only felt relieved, but not hateful or any other special feeling."

"Um"

“It feels like, even though I know the truth, it seems like Master Tongtian and I are still two different people. It’s a strange feeling.”

Lingbao Tianzun carefully collected all the fragments, stood up and patted his butt.

For some reason, Lord Daode suddenly felt that the person in front of him was not as dull as before. Although it was a bit strange to say this, he seemed to be a lot smarter.

Lingbao Tianzun raised his head and squinted his eyes and said: "So I told him: Okay, I understand, you can go with peace of mind, I will protect the Three Pure Lands."

"Then what did he say?" The Lord of Dao and Morality sat on the ground and looked up at him, asking curiously.

"He seemed a little surprised, and then said: I feel relieved then."

“Is that so?” Daode Tianzun couldn’t help but smile: “As expected of you guys, even though you are sworn enemies, you have an extraordinary tacit understanding.”

"Is that so?" Lingbao Tianzun seemed to be thinking about something. "He and Jiang Lu also have a good understanding of each other, both in terms of being tough and competitive."

"Yes." Daode Tianzun nodded and was silent for a long time. He suddenly asked, "So what do you think about letting Jiang Lu become one of the Three Pure Ones and replace him? Although he is unwilling now, everything has a process. You can't guarantee that he will change his mind in the future."

But to the surprise of Daode Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun looked puzzled: "Him?"

The Lord of Morality was stunned for a moment: "Why do you look so surprised? Didn't you just say that they look very similar? Besides, Jiang Lu is the Lord of the Underworld. Maybe the Three Pure Worlds and the Underworld will be merged again in the future. This will be a good thing for the chaos that may occur in the future."

Lingbao Tianzun thought seriously for a moment and shook his head: "This is indeed a good thing. It can even be said that there is no better choice than this, but..."

"But what?"

"Yuanshi already has a candidate in mind, and has entrusted me to assist him."

Daode Tianzun asked in surprise: "Who?"

"Dong Wanggong." (End of this chapter)
