Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 428

Sun Wukong smiled, reached out and patted Nezha on the shoulder, with a hint of ridicule in his tone:

"You are such an impatient person, but it's rare that you can keep your composure. It seems that this mission has been a great test for you."

Nezha scratched his head and curled his lips:
"Monkey, don't try to play tricks on me! I'm doing this for the fairness of the three realms, not to temper my temper."

Sun Wukong didn't say anything more, but turned around, pulled out a blank scroll from the table, picked up the pen and began to write.

His movements were steady, and the tip of the pen made a slight rustling sound as it moved across the paper.

Nezha came over to take a look and saw that Sun Wukong was drafting a new management plan. He couldn't help but frowned:

"Monkey, are you starting to think of something new again?"

Sun Wukong did not even raise his head and continued writing:

"Although this grand test was successful, the management system of the Three Realms is still not perfect. We need to establish a more efficient and fairer mechanism to ensure that all cultivators can find their place in the Three Realms."

Nezha curled his lips, with a hint of impatience in his tone:

"You always think too much. In my opinion, the current rules are pretty good. Why bother yourself with more trouble?"

Sun Wukong stopped writing and looked at Nezha with a serious look in his eyes:

"Nezha, the stability of the Three Realms cannot be maintained by temporary rules. We need to make continuous improvements to ensure long-term peace."

Nezha felt a little uncomfortable under Sun Wukong's gaze and shrugged helplessly:

"Okay, okay, you're right. But don't expect me to run errands for this matter. I'm tired."

Sun Wukong smiled, lowered his head again, and continued writing:
"Don't worry, I will arrange for other people to do the next thing. Your performance this time is already very good, so it won't hurt to take a rest."

Hearing this, Nezha showed a bit of pride on his face, then yawned again and said lazily:
"Then I won't be polite. Monkey, take your time writing. I'm going to take a nap first."

After saying that, he stood up, stretched, and walked out of the hall.

Sun Wukong watched Nezha leave, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Then, his eyes fell on the scroll again, and his expression became serious.

He knew that the next reforms would be even more difficult.

The conflicts of interest within the Heavenly Court and the expectations of the independent cultivators and the demon race all require him to find a balance.

As the night deepened, the candlelight flickered beside the desk, illuminating the focused face of Sun Wukong.

The pen in his hand moved quickly across the paper, and his handwriting was neat and powerful.

In the entire Qitian Hall, the only sound that could be heard was the rustling sound of pen tips rubbing against paper, as if the whole world had become quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Wukong finally put down his pen. He looked out the window. The night was still dark, and the moonlight shone on the blue bricks and white tiles of the heavenly palace, making it look particularly cold and desolate.

He took a deep breath and whispered to himself:
"Next, it depends on the situation on Yang Jian's side."

At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the hall.

Yang Jian walked in quickly, holding a scroll in his hand, looking a little tired.

Sun Wukong looked up at him, a trace of concern flashing in his eyes:
"Yang Jian, thank you for your hard work. How is the new draft?"

Yang Jian walked up to Sun Wukong and handed him the scroll respectfully:

"This is a new plan drafted based on opinions from all parties. Take a look."

Sun Wukong took the scroll, unfolded it and read it carefully.

His eyes swept between the lines, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding in approval.

Yang Jian stood aside, looking a little nervous, his eyes fixed on Sun Wukong's expression, as if trying to see some clues from his face.

After a moment, Sun Wukong closed the scroll, looked up at Yang Jian, and said thoughtfully:
"Yang Jian, the new plan is good overall, but I think it can be optimized a little more regarding the allocation of resources between independent cultivators and the demon race."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian frowned slightly and said in a low voice:

"what do you mean……"

Sun Wukong placed the scroll on the table and tapped one of the lines with his finger:
"Although the cultivation resources for independent cultivators have increased, the priority of the Heavenly Court cultivators still exists. Why don't we just cancel the priority of the Heavenly Court cultivators and switch to fair competition."

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said:
"Great Sage, this might cause dissatisfaction within the Heavenly Court. Natural resources and treasures are already scarce, and if they are completely released, it might lead to more disputes."

Sun Wukong shook his head and said firmly:

"Yang Jian, the authority of the Heavenly Court is not maintained by privilege. Only by making all cultivators feel fair can we truly win their trust. If the cultivators of the Heavenly Court are outstanding, they will naturally stand out in the competition."

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, and finally nodded:
"What the Great Sage said makes sense. I'll go and revise it right away."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the scroll, walked quickly to the desk beside him, picked up his pen and began to revise it.

Sun Wukong stood aside, his eyes fixed on Yang Jian's pen, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He knew that this reform would completely change the structure of the three realms, and the authority of Heaven would also face new tests.

But he believes that as long as fairness and justice are upheld, the future of the three realms will be more stable.

As the night deepened, the candlelight in the Qitian Hall was still flickering.

Yang Jian's pen moved quickly across the paper, and his handwriting was neat and powerful.

Sun Wukong stood aside, his eyes gradually becoming deep, as if he had seen the future prosperity of the Three Realms.

"Master Erlang, it's up to you now."

Sun Wukong's voice echoed in the empty hall. Yang Jian paused, raised his head, met Sun Wukong's gaze, and nodded slightly:
"rest assured."

He then put down his pen and handed the revised scroll to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong took the scroll, read it carefully, and smiled:
"Okay, let's do this."

He rolled up the scroll and handed it to the immortal official standing beside him:

"Pass the order down and announce it to the three realms immediately."

The immortal official accepted the order, took the scroll with both hands, bowed and retreated.

Only Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were left in the hall.

Sun Wukong walked to the window, looked at the deep night sky outside, and said in a deep voice:
"Yang Jian, there is a lot of resistance to this reform."

Yang Jian walked to the side of Sun Wukong and also looked up at the night sky with a serious expression:
"Indeed, many immortal officials in the Heavenly Court have expressed dissatisfaction with the new plan, especially those who are accustomed to privileges. Although the independent cultivators and demons support it, they also have higher expectations."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a low and firm voice:
"Any reform will inevitably affect the interests of vested interests. But the long-term stability of the Three Realms cannot be stagnant because of the opposition of a few people."

Yang Jian was silent for a moment, frowning slightly:
"Great Sage, I understand your determination. However, we cannot just push forward blindly. After all, the stability within the Heavenly Court is equally important."

Sun Wukong turned around and looked directly at Yang Jian with a deep gaze:

"what do you mean?"

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, and said in a steady tone:

“I think that the new plan can be implemented with a stronger monitoring mechanism to ensure fairness and prevent unfairness or corruption in the allocation of resources.”

Sun Wukong nodded, with a smile of approval on his face:

"Well, you are right. Every step of the reform needs to be cautious. Yang Jian, you are responsible for forming a supervisory team, with members selected from all parties in the three realms to ensure fairness and justice."

Yang Jian cupped his hands and said:

"Understood. I'll start preparing right away."

After Yang Jian left, Sun Wukong looked up at the night sky again, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that the road ahead would be more difficult, but he had no intention of retreating.

"The future of the three realms cannot be destroyed in our hands."

He whispered to himself, his tone firm.

……

……

The next day, Yang Jian began to set up a supervision team.

He first selected several impartial and selfless immortal officials from within the Heavenly Court, and then went to the mortal world and the demon clan in person to look for suitable candidates.

He first found Qing Yunzi, a man of upright character who had upheld justice many times and was deeply respected by the casual cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun, this time the Heavenly Court intends to form a supervisory team to oversee the implementation of the new plan. I wonder if you are interested in participating?"

Yang Jian spoke straight to the point and in a sincere tone.

Qing Yunzi frowned when he heard this and pondered for a moment:

"Master Erlang, this matter is of great importance, and I am afraid I am not up to the task."

Yang Jian smiled slightly, his eyes firm:

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun is an upright person, and all the independent cultivators in the mortal world take you as a role model. If you can join the supervision team, you will definitely be able to fight for more fair opportunities for independent cultivators."

Qing Yunzi was moved by Yang Jian's words, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement:
"Well, since Master Erlang values ​​you so much, I will respectfully obey your command."

Yang Jian showed a relieved smile:

"Thank you, Daoist Qingyun, for your support."

After leaving the mortal world, Yang Jian went to the demon tribe.

In the demon clan's territory, he found an elder named "Xuan Hu".

Although the Black Fox is a demon, it has a gentle temperament and acts fairly, and is deeply respected by the demon clan.

"Elder Xuanhu, this time the Heavenly Court intends to form a supervisory team to oversee the implementation of the new plan. Are you interested in participating?"

Yang Jian spoke in a respectful tone and with a sincere attitude.

When Xuan Hu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Master Erlang, the relationship between the demon race and the Heavenly Court has always been delicate. Why did you think of letting the demon race participate in the supervision?"

Yang Jian smiled slightly, his tone calm:

"The fairness and stability of the three realms need to be maintained by all parties. This reform is aimed at creating fair opportunities for all cultivators, and the demon race should naturally not be excluded."

Xuan Hu nodded, with some approval in his eyes:

"Master Erlang is indeed broad-minded. Since you trust the demon race so much, I will participate in the supervision on behalf of the demon race."

Yang Jian bowed and thanked him:

"Thank you, Elder Xuanhu, for your support."

A few days later, Yang Jian presented the proposed list of supervisory teams to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong took the list and after carefully reviewing it, his eyes fell on a few names:
"Qing Yunzi, Xuan Hu... these people are good choices."

Yang Jian nodded and added:

"These people are all monks with upright moral character in the Three Realms. I believe they can perform their supervisory duties impartially."

Sun Wukong's eyes were deep, and his tone was thoughtful:
"However, although these people have good character, they represent the interests of their respective ethnic groups after all. Yang Jian, are there not enough representatives from the Heavenly Court among the members of the supervision team?"

Yang Jian was stunned, then explained:
"Great Sage, this reform is aimed at gaining more fair opportunities for independent cultivators and demons. If there are too many representatives from the Heavenly Court, it may cause dissatisfaction among them."

Sun Wukong nodded, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes:
"You have a point. However, we cannot ignore the stability within the Heavenly Court. Yang Jian, please select a few more Heavenly Court officials to join the supervision team to maintain a balance between the two sides."

Yang Jian nodded in response:

"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."

Soon, Yang Jian readjusted the list of the supervisory team and increased the proportion of immortal officials from the Heavenly Court.

He presented the revised list to Sun Wukong again.

After carefully reviewing it, Sun Wukong nodded with satisfaction:

"That's good. Yang Jian, you must keep a close eye on the movements of these people and ensure that they can perform their supervisory duties impartially."

Yang Jian cupped his hands and replied:

"Don't worry, I will keep a strict check."

A few days later, the supervision team was officially formed.

Yang Jian read out the list in front of the Qitian Hall and announced the duties and powers of the supervisory team.

"The mission of this supervision team is to ensure the fair implementation of the new plan. All members must be impartial and selfless. If there are any who abuse their power for personal gain or commit fraud, they will be severely punished!"

Yang Jian's voice resounded throughout the venue, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty.

The members of the supervision team looked solemn and bowed in response:
"I will follow the orders of Master Erlang!"

Yang Jian nodded with satisfaction, then turned and looked at Sun Wukong beside him.

Sun Wukong walked forward slowly, his eyes swept over the members, and his tone was steady and powerful:
"This reform is related to the future of the Three Realms. You are responsible for the supervision and must enforce the law impartially to ensure fairness and justice. If you encounter any difficulties, please report them at any time. Yang Jian and I will fully support you."

All the members bowed their hands and responded in unison:

"My subordinates will definitely live up to their orders!"

Sun Wukong nodded with satisfaction and then waved his hand:
"Okay, from today on, the supervision team will begin patrolling the three realms to supervise the implementation of the new plan."

Everyone took the order and retreated to start their respective patrol tasks.

Sun Wukong stood in front of the Qitian Hall and watched the supervisory team leave, feeling a little relieved.

In the following days, the reform plan was officially implemented.

The immortals and demon representatives all said goodbye and returned to their respective territories with joy on their faces, and began to prepare new training plans.

Although the immortal officials in the Heavenly Palace were still dissatisfied, they had no choice but to accept the new plan and start adjusting the resource allocation strategy under the strong promotion of Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.

Yang Jian did not slack off. He took the initiative to take on the task of supervising the implementation of the new plan.

He visited the gathering places of independent cultivators in the mortal world, and went deep into the territory of the demon clan, communicating face to face with cultivators from all sides and listening to their feedback.

During a conversation with a wandering elder, he found that although the other party expressed support for the new plan, there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Master Erlang, this reform does give us, the independent cultivators, hope. However, the cultivators in the Heavenly Court have always been strong. We are worried that they will secretly obstruct and make it difficult for the new plan to be truly implemented."

The elder cultivator spoke cautiously, with a hint of tentativeness in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"I understand the elder's concerns. Although the monks of the Heavenly Court enjoy some priority, the new plan clearly stipulates the principle of fair resource allocation. If anyone tries to hinder it, the Heavenly Court will punish them severely."

The elder of the scattered cultivators nodded, but his expression was not completely relaxed:
"Master Erlang, we are weak as independent cultivators. If the Heavenly Court cultivators secretly put pressure on us, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to cope with it."

Yang Jian hesitated for a moment, then said in a firm tone:
"Don't worry, Elder. The reason I'm visiting this time is to ensure that the new plan can be implemented smoothly. If anyone dares to violate the rules, Heaven will never sit idly by!"
