Hell Emperor.

Chapter 546 Ye Jie - Documents
Following the guidance of the treasure-hunting compass, Ye Jie and his party did not dare to delay and set off quickly, riding the thunder to the north.

The blazing lightning gathered into a cloud, circling under everyone's feet, carrying everyone forward rapidly. Yunxiu sat down with her knees hugged. She raised her chin, feeling the cool breeze on her face, and a comfortable expression appeared on her face.

On the way, Ye Jie took out a round mirror and looked at it carefully, as if trying to find out the mystery on it.

On the side, Li Fei'e puffed out her lips. Five thousand years of archive records allowed her to leap to the peak of the sixth level. Her strength was the strongest among everyone, several levels stronger than the current Ye Jie. Her speed of controlling thunder and advancing was many times faster than Ye Jie's dragon transformation. So she led everyone forward.

She leaned over and squeezed Ye Jie's reflection into the round mirror, which originally only had Ye Jie's reflection. Ye Jie couldn't help but twitch his lips:
"What are you doing?"

"Is this mirror so beautiful? How long have you been looking at it? Why are you still looking at it?" Li Fei'e snorted and asked.

Ye Jie had no choice but to explain: "The reason why the two gods came here is because of the mirror in my hand. I heard from them that it was the Heavenly Lord who ordered them to find this mirror. After all, it is a second-grade artifact. I don't know what kind of power is hidden in this Seven Mysterious Mirror..."

Hearing this, Li Fei'e's expression improved. Just as he was about to speak, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes. He slowed down his lightning control and looked into the distance: "Someone is coming."

Ye Jie was slightly stunned. He let go of his perception and didn't notice anything unusual. It was only then that he made a discovery when he followed Li Fei'e's line of sight.

But in the distance, a man with a charred body and a panicked face came rushing over on a cloud. When he saw Ye Jie and the others, he seemed to have found a savior:
"Did you...did you take my notebook?"

"Document? Could it be that..."

Ye Jie was slightly stunned, and a certain thought flashed through his mind. He immediately asked: "Who are you? What is the document you mentioned?"

The man wore a tall crown and held a sundial in his hand. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down before speaking:
"I am the year-on-year official appointed by the Heavenly Court. My record book is a third-grade divine tool used to record the age of people in the world. A few years ago, my record book disappeared and its whereabouts remain unknown. I was really worried. Unexpectedly, just now, I sensed that someone had used the year-on-year record book and brought about a heavenly calamity, which made me feel very uncomfortable!"

He paused, his eyes fixed on Ye Jie and the other two, and continued, "According to the aura I sensed, the annual document is in this direction. To be more precise, it's on you."

"So, the book is yours, and I am Xuan..."

Li Fei'e was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ye Jie.

"So you are the official of the year, and I am the immortal official of Li Shi. This official document is what we got from the great thief Snake Eyes in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave."

Li Fei'e blinked when his words were interrupted. He felt that Ye Jie had some deeper meaning, so he waited quietly by the side.

"Lishi Xianguan? How could you be Lishi Xianguan? Don't you know that impersonating a Xianguan is a serious crime?"

The officer on duty was a little confused. In his memory, the Immortal Official of Profit had a clearly different appearance and was not the person in front of him at all. Could it be that he was deceiving him?

Ye Jie smiled faintly: "If you don't believe me, please make a deal with me, let me see what precious magic weapon you have."

The duty officer was stunned on the spot, and he lifted up his robe uncontrollably, displaying his magic weapon: "Trade? This is a third-grade artifact, the Thousand Star Ink Pen. For so many years, besides the duty book, I only have this third-grade artifact. If you want to buy it, then..."

Halfway through his words, the year-old official suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why did he sell his treasured magic weapon to a stranger in front of him? But just now, he clearly didn't have the slightest bit of vigilance, as if selling the magic weapon to that person was the most normal thing.

"I've heard for a long time that the Immortal Official of Profit can get merchants to give up their most precious goods without any sweet talk. After seeing it today, I realized that this power is truly extraordinary. Even I almost got fooled."

Feeling the power that belongs exclusively to the Immortal Official of Profit, the confusion of the Officer on Duty was also dispelled. A person can impersonate the name and identity of an Immortal Official, but the power of an Immortal Official granted by the Heavenly Dao cannot be faked at all. So, the person in front of him is indeed the Immortal Official of Profit, one of the Gods of Wealth.

Ye Jie smiled. Strictly speaking, he did not lie. With the help of the Book of Life and Death's modification of the files, his current position as an immortal official was indeed that of a profitable immortal official.

If the Immortal Official Li Shi, who was far away in Jubao City, knew that Ye Jie was planning to use his name to cheat people, he would probably spit out blood.

The duty officer spoke sincerely, "This duty book is the certificate of being a duty officer. It cannot be easily lost. If other immortals know about it, they will inevitably be punished. Since the Lishi Immortal Officer has found the duty book from the great thief Snake Eyes, can you return it to me?"

Ye Jie waved his hand. He needed the Gongcao Wenbo for his next job transfer and promotion. How could he just return it like that? He said:

"Taking things from the God of Wealth is not free. If you want to take the annual document book, you need to exchange it for something of equal value."

The officer on duty took a deep breath and looked grim. Just as Ye Jie said, taking something out of the God of Wealth's pocket is harder than climbing to the sky. It is normal for the God of Wealth to only have money coming in and not going out.

However, the Immortal Official of Profit values ​​merchant trade the most. As long as you can offer something of equivalent value, you can exchange it for the annual document. At least there is still a glimmer of hope. If it were the other gods of wealth, there would be no chance at all.

The duty officer gritted his teeth and took out the Thousand Stars Ink Brush. "My ink brush is a genuine third-grade divine tool. Is it enough to exchange for the duty book?"

Ye Jie shook his head. Although this ink pen was good, it was far less valuable to him than the annual document book.
"As third-grade artifacts, they have different qualities. If you want to exchange it back, you must use another Gongcao Wenbi. In addition, among the four units of measurement, namely, hour, day, month, and year, the year has the greatest significance. If you want to exchange it back for the Zhinian Wenbi, you must use the other two Gongcao Wenbi!"

"What?" The year-duty officer was unhappy when he heard this. "How can there be such a thing? The four officers are obviously working together equally, and there is no distinction between high and low. How can the year-duty officer be the most important?"

Ye Jie didn't care: "Year is the longest time, and it can carry the most records. Isn't it the most important? The condition is this. Bring me the other two Gongcao books, and I will return the annual book to you."

The Gongcao of the year was a little hesitant: "The document book is a very important thing for Gongcao, and it cannot be easily handed over to outsiders. If the other two Gongcao lose the document book and are punished for dereliction of duty, what will happen to their situation?"

Ye Jie glanced at him and said, "That's their business. If you don't get the annual report back, you will be the one who will be punished for dereliction of duty."

The duty officer took a deep breath and looked at Ye Jie. "Someone used the power of the duty officer's book before and brought about a heavenly calamity. Was that person you? What do you want to use the duty officer's book for?"

Ye Jie spread his hands and said, "Of course it is to record the transaction files. As a Li Shi Xianguan, if I use the power of the annual document book, I can easily record many transaction files."

The duty officer looked annoyed: "Are you really recording it truthfully? If you were recording it truthfully, how could you have attracted a heavenly calamity? Do you know that the heavenly calamity caused by the duty record will not fall on you, but on me, the duty officer?"

Ye Jie was slightly stunned. He didn't know this. The tampering of the life file would not end easily, but would have a corresponding backlash. The coming of the heavenly tribulation was the best proof. However, the heavenly tribulation did not find Ye Jie, but found the year-time official. For the year-time official, it was an unexpected disaster.

"In that case, before I continue recording the files, why don't you quickly collect the other two Gongcao books?" Ye Jie replied slowly.

The Gongcao on duty was helpless. In terms of strength, he was no match for Ye Jie, not to mention the seemingly unfathomable companion beside Ye Jie. The loss of Gongcao's records meant that he could not ask other immortal officials for help, which was tantamount to giving others an advantage. He could only rely on himself to find a solution.

"Okay... I'll go find the other two Gongcao books, but before that, don't use the annual book to keep false accounts. Otherwise, if you attract the wrath of heaven, no one can bear it!"

After some thought, the Gongcao on duty had to agree to Ye Jie's request and find two more Gongcao books for him.

When the year-on-year Gongcao left, Ye Jie's ears were still ringing with his words: "The wrath of heaven..."

Although the Book of Life and Death has the ability to reflect the records and thus distort reality, it is, after all, a false file that has been modified. If it were to be discovered by the Heavenly Dao, the outcome would be disastrous.

Once upon a time, Ye Jie had seen the wrath of Heaven. When the angry Heaven descended, the entire continent would turn into a death zone, and no one would survive.

"Are you ok?"

Li Fei'e also noticed the change in Ye Jie's expression and asked with concern.

Ye Jie put aside the thoughts in his heart and spoke: "Nothing... I didn't expect that modifying the life file would actually lead to the arrival of thunder tribulation, and it was all borne by the year-old Gongcao for us. I really don't know what to say."

Ye Jie slowly raised his head, his eyes falling on the place where the duty officer disappeared.

For his next job transfer and promotion, he would need to obtain four Gongcao books. Ye Jie had no idea where to get these four books.

The arrival of the current Gongcao gave Ye Jie this opportunity. He had the Gongcao documents delivered to his door without any effort. Ye Jie certainly would not refuse such a good thing.

As for offending Gongcao and causing revenge, what should he do? Anyway, these things were done by Lishi Xianguan, so what does it have to do with him, the Lord of Ziwei Palace?
The two continued on their way, and after just a few hours, the duty officer appeared in front of Ye Jie again.

"I have already brought the two notebooks you asked for. Now give me back the notebook for the year in charge!"

When he saw Ye Jie, the officer in charge was not polite and immediately asked for the documents.

"So fast?"

Hearing this, even Ye Jie was surprised. Only a few hours had passed and the duty officer had already brought the other two books?
"Of course. The lost documents are a matter of great importance to the position of the Immortal Official. Do you think I would neglect it?"

As he spoke, the duty officer reached into his bosom and pulled out two ancient notebooks of the same style as the duty notebook of the year. The difference was that one of these two notebooks was for the day on duty, and the other for the hour.

Ye Jie flipped through the two books, checked them, and confirmed that they were the two third-grade artifacts held by the Gongcao. He couldn't help but say with satisfaction: "The Gongcao of the year really kept his word. He said he would bring two books, and he brought two books."

"No need to say more, just give me the documents of the year back!" The duty officer spoke immediately.

The deal was done, one book for two, Ye Jie was just dreaming of such a good thing, so without hesitation he returned the annual document book to the annual official.

After getting the document book, the official on duty was obviously relieved, for he was afraid that Ye Jie would make random changes in the document book, especially since the other party was the Immortal Official of Profit, one of the gods of wealth. If the document book fell into his hands, he might make earth-shattering false accounts. It would be better to get it back quickly.

"You'd better not misuse the documents of the other Gongcao! Otherwise, the Heaven will not forgive you!"

After finally warning Ye Jie, the duty officer left.

Looking through the two books in his hands, Ye Jie still hasn't reacted to this good thing that has turned from one to two:

"I didn't expect the duty officer to be so quick. It only took a few hours to bring back two duty books. However, without the duty book, it would be much more difficult to improve my cultivation by modifying the files as before. If I use the duty book to modify the files, even if I change ten days to a thousand days, it will only take three short years..."

While Ye Jie was thinking, he saw another figure approaching from a distance.

"Is it the duty officer? Could it be that he is not satisfied with the result of the transaction and intends to take back the other two books?"

When Ye Jie was confused, Li Fei'e's words interrupted his guess: "No... that's not the year-old Gongcao."

"no?"

Before Ye Jie could think clearly, he saw a man with a copper bell hanging from his waist and a token in his hand flying towards him in a hurry.

"You! Did you take my documents?" As soon as he saw Ye Jie, the man became impatient and started questioning immediately.

"You are..." Ye Jie said with a dry cough.

"I am the duty officer. Two years ago, the duty officer invited me and the duty officer to drink together, but somehow my notebook disappeared. Now I see that it is clearly in your hand. Return it to me!"

"Two years ago?" Ye Jie was slightly stunned. Didn't the duty officer go to get the officer's book a few hours ago? How come the duty officer said that it happened two years ago?
Taking out the stitched page and looking at it, Ye Jie saw that the year was still the 640th year of the Moro calendar. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said:
"You don't know yet, I am the Li Shi Xianguan. Your document is in my hands. It's not that easy to take it back. If you want to get the document back, you need to exchange it with the other two Gongcao documents..."

"Again?"

Hearing this, Li Fei'e opened her eyes wide and didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt like she had just seen this scene not long ago.
