Hell Emperor.

Chapter 371 Ye Jie - Heavenly Power
The changes that occurred outside the Golden Wheel also affected the situation inside.

The vibration gradually subsided, the space stopped shaking, and even the reincarnation channel that opened under feet began to close again little by little.

Only when all the abnormalities disappeared did Ye Jie, who was trapped in the Golden Wheel, breathe a sigh of relief. After falling back to the ground, he sighed, "No matter what happened just now, it seems to be over."

Su Miao had a suspicious look on her face, and she felt that all this had something to do with Ye Jie: "I just finished implementing the agenda of customized reincarnation, and the mutation is over? Could it be that you really did all this? You just want to use me to advance your agenda!"

Ye Jie was quite helpless. No matter how he explained it, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it clearly.

He stretched out his hand and pushed the stone door hard. The stone door opened with a bang, revealing the long-lost spacious space outside.

"Finally I can get out..." Ye Jie was still frightened after almost falling into the reincarnation cycle. Seeing that the crisis was over, he ran out of the Golden Wheel without saying a word.

"Hey, wait for me!" Seeing Ye Jie immediately abandon her and run away alone, Su Miao was secretly annoyed, but she did not slow down at all. She took the opportunity when the golden wheel returned to its original state and hurried out.

Looking at the two people running out of the golden wheel, Nan Linghe blinked his eyes with an innocent look on his face: "Hmm? Brother Jie, and Sister Qingge's master, are you all okay? Why do you look so sweaty?"

Ye Jie raised his hand and wiped away the sweat on his head: "Don't mention it. Just now, there was a sudden change in the golden wheel, and it lost control. It almost sent Fairy Miaorou and I into reincarnation. Fortunately, the change was resolved in the end, and I was able to escape. Otherwise, you might not be able to see me anymore..."

At the end, Ye Jie couldn't help but sigh: "It must be you who brought me good luck. I was able to escape this time. It seems that you helped me again..."

After hearing what Ye Jie said, Nan Linghe also showed an embarrassed look. Combining with what Shen Qingge said before, he guessed that he might have caused trouble: "That... the change of the golden wheel seems to be done by me..."

"You?" After learning what happened from Nan Linghe, Su Miao couldn't help but be speechless. "You really chose a good time. Why didn't you come earlier while we were still outside?"

Nan Linghe lowered his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

Seeing this, Ye Jie smiled slightly: "Don't worry, isn't it all right? Look, both me and Fairy Miaorou are standing here in good health, you don't have to blame yourself for this. You must have wanted to help us, so you activated the Golden Wheel, right? Your heart is enough to make us all happy."

Su Miao said nothing, but just looked at Ye Jie's serious expression, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Not long ago, she and Ye Jieke were trapped in the golden wheel. If they were not careful, they would be thrown into reincarnation completely, and everything in the past would disappear. But only a short while later, Ye Jie forgave Nan Linghe who had done all this, as if nothing had happened, and even comforted her not to blame herself.

This couldn't help but Su Miao mutter a few words under her breath. If she were in Ye Jie's place, she would definitely have to reprimand Nan Linghe and tell him not to make trouble at such a dangerous time.

"Since the crisis has been resolved, there is no need for me to continue serving as the judge, right?" Su Miao raised her eyebrows, narrowed her narrow eyes slightly, and glanced at Ye Jie out of the corner of her eye.

Ye Jie spoke slowly: "If Fairy Miao Rou is willing to continue to serve as the judge, it will undoubtedly be a blessing for the Golden Wheel Palace. With a judge like Fairy Miao Rou who is outstanding in talent and good at governance, all the ghosts in the palace will benefit a lot."

After experiencing the changes in the Golden Wheel, Su Miao also looked at Ye Jie squarely: "Are you still unwilling to stop doing business with the Yin Merchants? If you stop the business, I might agree."

Ye Jie sighed: "The contract has been signed. It is not so easy to terminate it. The contract is supervised by the Equality Palace. According to the content of the contract, if I want to terminate it now, I need to pay 10 billion Yin De as compensation. Therefore, it will take at least three years for both parties to decide whether to terminate the contract."

Hearing this, Su Miao also realized the problem and couldn't help but glared at Ye Jie: "Did I remind you to reject the proposals of those shady businessmen? Why didn't you listen at that time?"

In response, Ye Jie simply said: "That's for my companions. Besides, the life-saving trade is not necessarily a bad thing. It is not as bad as Fairy Miaorou imagined. As long as it is operated properly, it will also be of great benefit to the people of the world."

"The Yangshou trade is beneficial to people? Do you really think so? Or is it just an excuse to do good deeds?" Su Miao frowned, skeptical about Ye Jie's words.

Ye Jie replied slowly, "Of course Fairy Miaorou doesn't believe my empty words, but why not wait and see what happens to the world when those administrative options are implemented?"

Su Miao took a deep breath and thought carefully about Ye Jie's words in her mind. Based on her previous experience with Ye Jie, she had a hunch in her heart that Ye Jie was not joking, but he really thought so.

"You mean, it's beneficial for people to have their life span plundered and harvested by Yin merchants? That's impossible, right?" Su Miao was surprised.

Ye Jie retorted, "Fairy Miaorou, you are wrong. The administrative option I unlocked is life-saving trade, not life-saving plunder. The so-called trade refers to equal exchange. You only see one side, but not the other. If life-saving trade is allowed, people's lifespan will be reduced, but they will also get something of equivalent value. They will not be left with nothing. On the contrary, they may be able to overcome difficulties and make their lives more prosperous because of this trade."

After a pause, Ye Jie continued, "Not everyone can live to the end of their lives. Trading away their extra life span in advance and surviving the inevitable disaster of death is actually beneficial to themselves."

Now Su Miao understood what Ye Jie meant, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him became different from before.

Previously, in Su Miao's eyes, Ye Jie agreed to the deal with the Yin Shang completely for his own selfish desires. Not many Yama Palaces would pass the administrative option of Yang Shou Trade. Yang Shou Trade changes the life span set by heaven, which is fundamentally disrespectful to heaven. The premise of unlocking Yang Shou Trade is to pass the administrative option of Tian Gong Wo Gong. The meaning of this option is to covet heaven's merit and count all the merits of heaven as your own!
With such thoughts in mind, Su Miao certainly would not have any good feelings towards Ye Jie. Even when she was turning the golden wheel, what made Su Miao most desperate was not that she was about to fall into reincarnation, but that she was about to fall into reincarnation with Ye Jie. She did not want to have any entanglement with such a greedy person in the next life!
However, after hearing what Ye Jie said, Su Miao's previous views also changed quietly. Ye Jie's ideas seemed to be different from her original inferences. Although Ye Jie agreed to the Yin Shang's request to trade in Yang Shou, fundamentally, he hoped that people could benefit from it and live a better life.

Su Miao took a deep breath and asked again: "Do you really think that people can benefit from the lifespan trade with the Yin merchants? Life is a gift from God and is priceless, and lifespan is even more so. No matter what treasures the Yin merchants bring out, they should not sell life at a low price!"

In response, Ye Jie slowly raised his head and looked Su Miao in the eye: "You are just talking without any pain. The value of life is different. For wealthy people, even a year of life is worth a thousand taels of gold, but for people who are about to starve to death, even a full meal is enough for them to sell their life. You have no way to measure the value of life, and neither do I. Only people themselves know the value of their life. Those who agree to trade their life are based on their own wishes."

After a pause, Ye Jie said slowly: "I think Yangshou Trade can help the world. If you disagree, I can't correct your ideas, but you just need to wait and see."

"Tsk... You're talking so loudly, I want to see how you can help me! If you find out that things are completely different from what you imagined, will you still be able to speak so righteously like you did today?"

Su Miao glared back, not wanting to be outdone. She made a decision immediately and said loudly, "Since you've begged me to be the judge in the palace, I'll agree. I want you to see with your own eyes how wrong you are!"

Ye Jie was slightly stunned when he heard Su Miao's words. The firm idea in his heart was now shaken, but soon he put these distracting thoughts aside. Instead, he was filled with the joy of finally finding a suitable judge.

With Su Miao's consent, it means that the palace finally has a senior judge with outstanding abilities who can handle all matters, big and small. Even those extremely difficult administrative options can be handed over to Su Miao and let her be responsible for promoting them.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie looked at Nan Linghe with a smile in his eyes: "Thank you very much this time. It is thanks to you that Fairy Miao Rou agreed to serve as the judge."

Nan Linghe blinked. Although she didn't know what this matter had to do with her, she heard Ye Jie's grateful thanks in her ears. She seemed to be infected by the emotion in Ye Jie's words and nodded vigorously.

On the side, Su Miao looked puzzled: "Wait a minute, it was me who agreed to become the judge. If you don't want to thank me, then forget it. But why thank her? What does it have to do with her?"

Ye Jie waved his hand and analyzed seriously: "Thanks to Nan Linghe for causing the Golden Wheel to change, you are willing to listen to me seriously and agree to become the judge in the palace. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't even give me a chance to explain myself, so how could you agree?"

Ye Jie's answer came to her ears, and this time, Su Miao did not refute. Before this, she had a preconceived notion about Ye Jie, and it was impossible for her to talk to him properly, let alone listen to his explanation slowly. Thanks to this incident, their relationship has improved.

On the side, Shen Qingge saw the gradually harmonious relationship between the two and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, let's say it's Nan Linghe's credit. But who asked you to defeat me in the competition in the Nether Spirit Palace? If it weren't for what you did before, how could this happen?" Su Miao curled her lips. At the end, she remembered everything that had happened before and became relentless.

Ye Jie quickly spoke up to interrupt her. If she continued talking like this, it would probably never end:
"Fairy Miaorou, now that you have become the judge of the palace, the first thing you must do is to promote the agenda of Tiangong Wogong."

“My Heavenly Merit? Only those who covet Heavenly Merit can unlock this administrative option. I didn’t expect that I would be the first one to promote this. I don’t want to be a Heavenly Merit coveteran. If the masters of the Netherworld Palace knew about this, who knows how they would blame me…”

Su Miao had a helpless look on her face. No matter which Yama Palace they were in, those who were greedy for heaven's merit were hated by everyone, and ghosts would try to avoid them as much as possible. It was not a good word.

However, since she had become the judge, Su Miao had already anticipated the administrative agenda that Ye Jie would implement, so she did not hesitate and said:

"Pursuing the agenda of "Heaven's Merit and My Merit" means that the Golden Wheel Palace is on the opposite side of Heaven. All merits of all living beings belong to Heaven, and cultivation is to follow the way of Heaven. This is an iron rule in the hearts of practitioners. If you violate this, you may encounter troubles in the future... In addition, you can forget about receiving the quota of Ascension Orders issued by Heaven to the Underworld in the future."

"Can't I receive the Ascension Order?"

Hearing this, Ye Jie was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart. This Ascension Order corresponds to an immortal. He had finally obtained an Ascension Order before, and was thinking about continuing to receive it after many years. He didn't expect that he couldn't receive it directly.

Su Miao rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are greedy for the heavenly merits. You will be in trouble with the heaven in the future. There might even be heavenly soldiers coming to attack you. Do you still expect to receive the order of ascension from the heaven? Are you dreaming?"

Ye Jie took a deep breath and realized the seriousness of the problem: "Are the consequences of greed for heavenly merit so serious? This is just an administrative option, how could it lead to such serious consequences and even be attacked by heavenly soldiers?"

Su Miao held her forehead with her hand. Seeing that the Palace Master knew nothing, she felt exhausted. She didn't even know the consequences of unlocking this administrative option, yet he dared to agree to a deal with the Yin Shang. She didn't know what to say. She even began to doubt whether it was the right decision for her to agree to become a judge.
"Do you think that Heavenly Merit is so easy to covet? Losing your reverence for Heaven and claiming Heavenly Merit for yourself is a sign of arrogance and the first step to imminent destruction."

After a pause, Su Miao seemed to remember something, and a hint of worry flashed across her eyes. Now that she was a judge, she had to consider the palace:

"Speaking of which, looking back at the past, the most famous person who has achieved the Heavenly Merit in the past thousand years was born in the Dongsheng Divine Continent under the jurisdiction of the Golden Wheel Palace. That person once boasted that he was equal to the Heavenly Balance and was called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He was once surrounded and suppressed by the Heavenly Soldiers. This is a very sensitive area. Now that you are promoting the Heavenly Merit and My Merit, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future."

"Is it so serious..." After listening to Su Miao's words, Ye Jie finally understood that Tiangong was not so easy to covet, but his thoughts remained unchanged, "No matter what, let's push forward this agenda first."
