Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 816 Don't Let Me Down
Imperial city, the office of the Ministry of Immortals.

"Master Lin!"

Many Demon Slaying Division officers crowded into the narrow study room, staring at the thin figure behind the desk with burning eyes.

They all heard the news of the chaos between the two religions.

Those immortals and Buddhas in the sky are now unable to invade the human world, and with such horrific damage, I'm afraid they have already been unable to take care of themselves.

"Should we summon the generals of the Divine Dynasty in the four places and have them lead us to try to recover the lost territory?" There was a bit more longing on their faces. For the Divine Dynasty, this was a hard-won opportunity.

"..."

Lin Shuya slowly sorted out the memorials in his hands and stacked them up carefully.

After a long time, under the stunned gaze of everyone, he raised his chin and shook his head gently: "Everyone, retreat. In the next few days, without the order of the Immortal Department, you must not act rashly to avoid offending the immortals and Buddhas."

Offending the immortals and Buddhas?

The Demon Slayers couldn't believe their ears.

Those evil gods and Buddhas in the sky regarded humans as pigs and dogs and ate them with relish. They played with countless lives of common people. Countless souls seemed to be wailing throughout the whole China, making these generals unable to sleep all night.

This is a blood feud that will last forever.

What are you saying now...offend?!

"Go back."

Lin Shuya didn't have the patience to explain too much to everyone. He was the head of the Immortal Department and was in charge of all affairs of the Divine Dynasty related to the Immortal Court.

As long as the Emperor does not show up, his words are like imperial decrees to these generals.

This is indeed an opportunity, but it is by no means an opportunity to recover lost territory. Rather, it is a favor from heaven, giving the Divine Dynasty an opportunity to negotiate with the immortals and Buddhas in the sky.

The reason why Lin Shuya was chosen by the Human Emperor was not only because he was a survivor of the drought in Beizhou, but also because of his sharp vision.

Just from these memorials, he quickly determined that an irreconcilable contradiction had arisen between the two religions.

That is who will be the master of this world in the future.

Obviously, neither the True Buddha nor the Emperor was willing to give in at this moment. If this problem was not solved, the fight between the two religions would never end.

Those giants must have noticed that something was wrong, so they would definitely postpone the catastrophe and find another way.

And this gap is the only way to survive in the world!
Having luckily managed to survive in Beizhou, Lin Shuya has thoroughly experienced the power of the immortals and Buddhas. Mortals simply have no power to resist them, so he has never dreamed that man can conquer nature.

If he could return to the previous situation where the Immortal Court and the Divine Dynasty ruled the world together, it would be a wonderful thing that would make him laugh out loud in his dreams.

"call."

Watching the warriors leave the Immortal Department with puzzled looks on their faces, Lin Shuya let out a light breath, finally stood up, hugged the pile of thick memorials, stepped out of the yamen, and walked steadily towards the courtyard deep in the imperial city.

He has walked this road countless times.

At the beginning, the Human Emperor was still so young, his handsome face was full of coldness and majesty, but his eyes were gentle and compassionate.

He was the leader of the Restoration, to whom Lin Shuya swore his entire life to be loyal.

Until now, Your Majesty has become very old and confused, and has gradually developed some incomprehensible thoughts.

But Lin Shuya remained loyal to the other party.

Today, when the two people's ideas are already at odds with each other, he will still organize the information of the four continents and then hand it over to His Majesty for decision. This is his loyalty.

"Present these to your majesty."

Lin Shuya stopped and stood outside the courtyard.

He did not set foot in the wine pool himself as he had done before, but instead handed the memorial in his hand to the two maids, and then watched them follow the winding path and disappear from his sight.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

Submitting a memorial to the emperor's grave is loyalty, while preserving one's own life and contributing to world peace is righteousness.

At least when the ferocious tiger went crazy and wanted to eat the old people around it, he could still grab the last lasso and forcibly pull the whole situation back, so as not to watch the Divine Dynasty fall into the fire pit.

"..."

After handing in the memorial, Lin Shuya did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked quietly into the depths of the path, as if he was peeking at the wine pool inside through the deep courtyard wall.

He needed to confirm whether the person soaking in the wine pool was a mad beast or his Majesty.

The method is also very simple.

Lin Shuya still wanted the Emperor to decide everything. After reading these memorials, if the other party was still His Majesty, he should use the imperial energy to achieve transcendence as soon as possible.

The two religions were severely damaged. In this situation, if there was a transcendent giant in the world, although he would not be able to expel the immortals and Buddhas, the Divine Dynasty could at least return to its pre-disaster state.

It is better to have three powers than to be completely eaten up.

What the immortals and Buddhas want is nothing more than to preach in the world and share the incense. Maybe their methods may be a little cruel sometimes, but it will not affect the overall situation.

But if that man had not chosen this path, but continued to dream about that idiotic and crazy plan, then he would no longer be His Majesty, but just a dizzy beast.

Lin Shuya's eyes gradually turned cold.

If this is the case, then I can only decide for Your Majesty.

……

Courtyard, wine pool.

The man was shirtless, with his elbows resting on the pebbles, his back facing the others, and his whole body rising and falling in the water. The skin on his muscular arms was like dry bark, and was a little wrinkled due to being soaked for too long.

"What does he mean, sire?"

Gu Li frowned and stared at the two maids. She had rushed back from outside regardless of her life and was excitedly preparing to share what she had seen along the way with His Majesty, but who would have expected to see such a scene.

Lord Lin is the head of the Immortal Department. Such important news should be reported personally. How could it pass through the hands of these maids?

While being disrespectful to His Majesty, it also seems too disrespectful to the sacrifices of so many colleagues working outside.

"..."

Ye Lan stood quietly by the side without saying a word.

After this period of time, she has gradually figured out to what extent the relationship between the monarch and his minister has deteriorated.

Lord Lin was not being disrespectful, but rather fearful... He was worried that the Human Emperor would decisively eliminate him.

"Don't pay attention to him, just read these memorials."

The man smiled. Although he had not read the memorial yet, Lin Shuya's sudden attitude, coupled with Gu Li's return, had made him roughly guess something.

The Human Emperor hasn't felt this nervous for many years.

He is one of the six emperors who dominate the world and control everything in the world, but now, he is full of anxiety.

"I obey my orders."

Gu Li reached out to take the memorials, and read them out one by one without haste, while also adding her own supplements.

The Great Freedom Lotus Pearl Bodhisattva killed Chu Xi in Nanping Prefecture. The immortals rushed to Dongzhou and Mount Xumi was pushed back step by step. The Joyful True Buddha came forward and invited the two emperors to discuss the Dharma in East Xumi, in order to end the catastrophe and select the Immortal Emperor who would replace the Human Emperor.

When everything came to light, among all the changes, the outline of a figure became increasingly clear.

These things are all related to him, and it can even be said that they are the result of his manipulation.

Use the two religions as chess pieces and hold immortals and Buddhas as pieces.

Relying on his superb chess skills, he managed to fight back a way out for the Divine Dynasty!
Gu Li is a very clumsy storyteller. Even though he is very excited, the plots he describes are still a bit dry.

But the Human Emperor, at this moment, seemed to have transformed into a child, listening to the story seriously and immersedly.

He opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at nothingness, tapping the pebbles with his index finger. When he heard something exciting, he couldn't help but applaud: "Good! Good!"

Obviously, the Human Emperor was fantasizing about doing these things himself.

He was the Six Imperial Lords and should have been the parent of heaven and earth, but at this moment he was like a fool immersed in the stories of knights, envying and admiring the young man whose strength was far inferior to his.

In front of the True Buddha Emperor, he wantonly slaughtered those Golden Immortal Bodhisattvas and escaped unscathed, and was even praised to the position of Immortal Emperor!

Shen Yi told the Human Emperor the truth. Even without sacrificing the lives of the common people, he still had a way to make the two arrogant religions miserable.

"And then?" the man turned back impatiently.

“Then…” Gu Li also understood not long ago why His Majesty asked him last time whether he had met Master Taixu, because this person who was supposed to be the Immortal Emperor had stood on the side of the Divine Dynasty from the very beginning.

In a place unknown to everyone, they fought with their lives at risk, killing so many people that even the immortals and Buddhas of the two religions were terrified.

"The Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva held the Immaculate Buddha Beads in his hand and led many Great Freedom Bodhisattvas to kill Lord Shen, but was killed with one punch!"

The number one person under the True Buddha, with the innate Buddha treasure, still uses numbers to bully the minority in the territory of East Xumi. Just listening to it makes people feel despair.

However, all these conditions combined only resulted in four clear and concise words: Kill with one punch!

Hoarse laughter broke out in the wine pool.

The man slapped the pebbles hard and laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

Ye Lan bit her lips hard. The young man who had once saved Nanzhou single-handedly was now above many Golden Immortals and Bodhisattvas, and had the aura of those giants in the rumors.

Wait until the laughter gradually fades away.

The Human Emperor rubbed his eyes contentedly, and his exaggerated expression returned to calm.

Finished the story.

It had been a long time since he had released his emotions so freely.

"Is there something missing?" The man looked away.

“Hou Tu Huang Di Ji slaughtered several Mahabharatas and was abducted by the three true Buddhas headed by the present Buddha, and taken all the way back to Beizhou…” As a general of the Divine Dynasty, Gu Li naturally knew how this huge court was established in the first place.

The only god standing in the human world has now finally been ostracized by the two religions.

In fact, there was no need for Gu Li to say much. As early as when he noticed that Lin Shuya stopped outside the courtyard, the Human Emperor had already guessed something, which was why he was so engrossed in listening to the story before.

After all, if something else is mixed into this exhilarating feeling, it will change its taste.

The man's expression did not change, he just nodded his chin.

He had anticipated this scene when Gu Li brought back the news last time.

After all, the two leaders were alert in advance.

Of course, Shen Yi is not to blame for this. This young man has done well enough, to the point that even the Human Emperor feels inferior to him.

If you want to blame someone, blame the sky for being too high, and the time left for us to climb is too short.

Yes, even though the Human Emperor had guessed it long ago and was willing to sacrifice his own limited lifespan to speed up the integration of this pool of imperial energy, it was still too hasty.

Now that the two religions have become alert, they will not leave themselves any room for maneuver.

It's just a matter of one move.

The man opened his mouth, revealing his gap-toothed face. His smile contained a hint of helplessness, but also a bit of calmness that came from letting things go.

There is no way to have the best of both worlds.

If you want to take it slow, you have to sacrifice enough lives. If you are unwilling to sacrifice, you will naturally have to pay other prices.

The Human Emperor closed his eyes and sensed Lin Shuya turning around and trying to leave outside the courtyard.

He knew what this man wanted.

It was nothing more than what happened before. He wanted to use the savings of this Divine Dynasty since ancient times to become the first emperor to transcend the human world.

As for this worldly affairs, let the immortals and Buddhas slowly devour it. This is better than leaving nothing.

"They said this was a blessing from heaven?"

"What do you think?" The man raised his neck slightly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips.

"Heaven does nothing, it's all thanks to Lord Shen." Gu Li denied it without hesitation. There is no such thing as a good situation that comes for free in the world. It's just that someone is working hard silently.

"good."

A smile appeared on the Human Emperor's face again, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

Damn heaven.

This was his General Zhennan, who had abandoned a promising path, thrown away the position of Immortal Emperor, and risked his life to win a chance of victory for the Divine Dynasty.

There is no one in this world who is qualified to exchange the victory he has fought for for other benefits.

Since that kid can give up the position of Immortal Emperor, I can also give up the so-called transcendence.

Since there is no time left, let the next person do it. If you want to surrender, why bother looking up at the sky in the first place?
This disaster is just for victory!

"Go out, wait for me outside."

The Human Emperor waved his hand and addressed the second half of the sentence to Ye Lan.

"..."

Ye Lan glanced at Gu Li and found that he also had a confused look on his face.

The two women left the wine pool.

"I'll go keep an eye on Lin Shuya." Gu Li narrowed her eyes slightly. She could see that something was wrong, but she didn't know why His Majesty ignored her.

Any other reason would be fine, but if it was because His Majesty had health problems and was no longer able to deal with Lin Shuya, the head of the Immortal Department who controlled the imperial energy in the world, it seemed that no one could control him.

"I……"

Ye Lan was the only one left there, and she clenched her palms.

According to the Human Emperor's previous intention, he obviously intended to let himself check and balance Lin Shuya, but the time was too short and it was simply too late.

The only thing she was wondering about now was what the man was going to do now.

What Ye Lan didn't expect was that this stop would last until late at night.

"come in."

A lazy voice came from the wine pool.

Ye Lan hesitated for a moment, walked back, and then his pupils shrank slightly.

The man was still soaking in the pool, his elbows resting on the pebbles, his back facing him, seemingly no different than before.

But he was completely changed.

The gray hair turned dark again, and although his body still looked old, his spirit had obviously improved a lot.

Rejuvenation? !

“Don’t stand there like an idiot.” The Human Emperor did not look back. He just casually pulled a handful of hair and weaved it into a rope, then carefully strung a crystal clear blood jade on it.

He threw the blood jade to Ye Lan and said calmly: "I know you have a way to contact him. Give this thing to him. It will be the reward I owe him."

The Human Emperor did not explain what this was, and he was not even interested in saying anything more.

"..."

Ye Lan looked at the slightly damp blood jade in her palm, feeling a little bewildered. Although her cultivation was low, she was still a cultivator from the orthodox sect of Shenxu Mountain.

This thing does not have any fluctuations of calamity power and cannot be considered a magic weapon at all.

But she knew the matter was urgent, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just looked up and asked, "Does His Majesty have any instructions that I need to pass on to him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the wine pool suddenly fell silent.

The man's body twitched slightly. He closed his eyes and thought for a long time.

When he spoke again, Ye Lan didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually heard a bit of cowardice and helplessness that was unique to an old man in the voice of a common leader of the mortal world.

"In my life, I have only trusted two people."

"The first person was raised by me since he was a child and was always by my side, but until now, he doesn't even dare to see me."

At this point, the man smiled and said self-deprecatingly, "What's even more ridiculous is that his worries are not false. If he dares to step into this courtyard, I will kill him without hesitation."

"Hiss." Ye Lan's face changed slightly. She certainly knew who the man was referring to.

"As for the second person I trusted, I only met him once." The man paused, and suddenly slapped the wine pool in annoyance, causing waves of water: "I knew there was a problem, but I was inexplicably soft-hearted. In the end, I was still tricked by him!"

"but……"

The man took a deep breath and said with relief: "I was deceived and convinced, because what I wanted, he also wanted, and what he wanted was what I wanted but didn't dare to ask for."

This sentence was a bit difficult to understand, and Ye Lan didn't quite understand it. She could only remember it all in her heart and leave it for Shen Yi to experience it.

"Although this thing is a reward I gave him, logically speaking, since it is a reward, he should be able to use it however he wants..."

The Human Emperor slowly turned his head, like an emperor who was holding on. He gritted his teeth, licked his lips, and tried hard to suppress the trembling in his voice.

Whether he is the Human Emperor or the Six Emperors, he is the master of the world.

The ruler should have the final say, and their words are called the Dharma by others.

But at this moment, the man looked radiant, but more like a dying old man, with a hint of pleading in his voice:
"Can you... please don't let me down."
