Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 429

After Yang Jian returned to Heaven, he immediately summoned members of the supervisory team.

He stood in the center of the meeting room, his eyes swept over everyone, his tone was calm and majestic:
"Everyone, this reform is related to the fairness and stability of the three realms. Our mission is to ensure that the new plan can be implemented smoothly, especially the allocation of resources between the heavenly cultivators, independent cultivators and the demon race, which must be open and transparent. Everyone should always pay attention to the movements of all parties, collect evidence, and report any violations immediately."

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

Yang Jian nodded slightly, then turned to look at the immortal officials in the heavenly court, with a warning tone in his voice:

"There are also many people in the Heavenly Court who need supervision, especially those in key positions for resource allocation. Everyone must keep a close eye on them. If there is any favoritism or fraud, it must not be tolerated."

A celestial official stepped forward and whispered:

"Master Erlang, the monks in the Heavenly Palace have been accustomed to priority for many years. This reform may cause some dissatisfaction. If we are too strict, it may cause internal conflicts."

Yang Jian's eyes darkened and his tone was firm:

"The authority of Heaven is not maintained by privilege. Only when everyone feels fair can the Three Realms be truly stable. If anyone tries to obstruct reform, Heaven will pursue them to the end."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded to show their understanding.

At the same time, Nezha also found Sun Wukong.

"monkey!"

Sun Wukong was meditating on the dragon chair when he heard Nezha's voice. He opened his eyes and smiled:
"what's up?"

Nezha jumped up and landed beside Sun Wukong, his tone was somewhat anxious:

"Monkey, I have something important to discuss with you."

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes:

"Oh? What's new, you impatient one?"

Nezha curled his lips and said in a serious tone:
"Monkey, although the resource allocation has been reformed, there are still many immortal officials in the Heavenly Court who are secretly doing small things. Yang Jian is setting up a supervision team, but I always feel that relying on them alone is not enough. Shouldn't we also strengthen the supervision of the Heavenly Court?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned slightly, and his eyes gradually became deep:

"Your words remind me that corruption within the Heavenly Court is indeed a hidden danger. After all, the root cause of unfair resource distribution often lies with those who hold power."

Nezha nodded, with a bit of urgency in his tone:

"Yes, Monkey. Although this reform has given hope to the independent cultivators and the demon race, if the Heavenly Court is not rectified, problems will arise sooner or later."

Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, then stood up with a determined look:

"Okay, starting today, I will personally lead a surprise inspection of all departments in the Heavenly Palace. I want to see what these immortal officials are up to!"

Nezha heard this and showed some excitement on his face:
"Monkey, that's the way to go! I'll go with you!"

Sun Wukong smiled and patted Nezha on the shoulder:

"You are still so impatient, kid. But, having your help this time saves me a lot of trouble."

The two of them set off immediately and rode on a cloud to heaven.

After arriving at the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong did not alarm anyone, but took Nezha directly to conduct surprise inspections of various departments.

They first came to the residence of the immortal official in charge of resource allocation.

When the immortal officials saw Sun Wukong suddenly appear, they panicked and rushed forward to greet him:
"Great Sage, why are you here?"

Sun Wukong glanced at everyone and said calmly:

"I'm here to take a look at the resource allocation. You don't have to be nervous."

Upon hearing this, the immortal officials became even more nervous and their eyes became uncertain.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong frowned slightly, and then ordered Nezha to take people to search the immortal official's residence.

Soon, Nezha found a large number of unrecorded treasures from a secret room.

Nezha presented these natural treasures to Sun Wukong and sneered:

"Look, monkey, this is what they call a 'fair share'!"

Sun Wukong's eyes darkened and his tone was stern:

"Why aren't these natural treasures in the account books? You embezzled the resources. Do you know how serious a crime that is?"

All the immortal officials immediately knelt on the ground, looking terrified:

"Great Sage, please spare us! We were just confused for a moment and never intended to embezzle it!"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly:
"A moment of confusion? Your actions have damaged the fairness of the three realms. Your crime is unforgivable!"

He turned to look at Nezha, his tone firm:

"Nezha, immediately dismiss these immortal officials and report this matter to the three realms as a warning to others!"

Nezha nodded in agreement, and then ordered his men to take these immortal officials away.

Sun Wukong stood in front of the Immortal Official's residence, his eyes deep:
"The corruption within the Heavenly Court must be completely eradicated!"

In the following days, Sun Wukong and Nezha continued to conduct surprise inspections on various departments of the Heavenly Palace.

They investigated and punished a number of immortal officials who had embezzled resources, and made their crimes public and held open trials.

During the public trial, Sun Wukong personally presided over the trial with a stern look:
"As celestial officials of the Heavenly Court, you shoulder the important task of maintaining fairness among the three realms, but you abused your power and embezzled resources. Do you know how to repent?"

All the immortal officials knelt on the ground, looking ashamed, and confessed their crimes:
"Great Sage, we know we are wrong and are willing to accept the punishment!"

Sun Wukong glanced at everyone and said sternly:

"Since you know you are wrong, you should accept the punishment. The rules of heaven cannot be violated, and the fairness of the three realms cannot be destroyed!"

After the trial, Sun Wukong announced the result to the three realms, which caused a huge response.

The independent cultivators and demon tribes praised this and praised Sun Wukong for being fair and selfless:

"The Great Sage is indeed the Great Sage. He has done justice for us, the independent cultivators and the demon race!"

"The Heavenly Court has finally taken action this time. It looks like the distribution of resources will be fairer in the future!"

The immortal officials in the Heavenly Palace were also frightened and began to restrain their previous behaviors, no longer daring to act in a corrupt manner for personal gain.

In order to further improve the management system, Sun Wukong adopted Yang Jian's suggestion and established a reporting mechanism.

He announced in front of the Qitian Palace:

"From today on, the Heavenly Court has established a reporting mechanism. Any cultivator who finds that an official in the Heavenly Court has engaged in favoritism, corruption, or abuse of power can report it. If the report is true, the Heavenly Court will reward him handsomely!"

Sun Wukong stood in front of the Qitian Palace, with his hands behind his back, looking down at the sentient beings in the three realms below, with a trace of deep thought between his brows.

The moonlight shone on his golden hair, reflecting a bit of majesty and calmness.

Yang Jian stood beside him with a solemn expression, holding a scroll in his hand, waiting for Sun Wukong's instructions.

"Yang Jian."

Sun Wukong opened his mouth slowly, his voice low and powerful.

"Although the rectification within the Heavenly Court has initially shown results, the problems of the Three Realms are far more than that. We need a more complete mechanism to ensure that all violations are exposed." Yang Jian nodded slightly, with a hint of recognition in his eyes:
"What the Great Sage said is absolutely right. Now that the corruption in resource allocation has been exposed, the internal supervision mechanism of the Heavenly Court must be further strengthened. I suggest that a Three Realms Supervision Team be formed, consisting of Heavenly Court immortal officials, scattered immortals, and demon elders, to be responsible for investigating and supervising the behavior of all parties in the Three Realms."

Sun Wukong glanced at Yang Jian, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Good idea. However, the members of the monitoring team must be carefully selected to ensure that they can perform their duties impartially and impartially."

Yang Jian nodded in agreement, then took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Sun Wukong with both hands:
"This is the list of supervisory members that I have drawn up. Please review it, Great Sage."

Sun Wukong took the list and quickly scanned the paper.

The list included several senior immortal officials in heaven, respected figures among the immortals, and several elders of the demon clan.

Sun Wukong frowned slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the paper:

"There are too many representatives from the Heavenly Court, but not enough from the Loose Immortals and Demons. Yang Jian, have you considered inviting a few Ghost Immortals to join?"

Yang Jian was stunned, then nodded:

"Ghost Immortals do enjoy a high prestige in the Three Realms. If they can join, it will indeed further balance the forces of all parties."

Sun Wukong smiled slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes:
"That's right. The ghost immortals are impartial in the three realms. Their joining will make the supervision more credible."

Yang Jian immediately picked up his pen and added the names of several ghost immortals to the list, and then presented the list to Sun Wukong again.

After reviewing it carefully, Sun Wukong nodded with satisfaction:

"Okay, let's follow this list."

Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:
"Great Sage, shall we publish the list immediately and authorize the Inspectorate to take action?"

Sun Wukong's eyes were deep and his tone was firm:

"Announce it immediately. The fairness and stability of the three realms cannot be delayed any longer."

Yang Jian bowed in agreement, then turned and left the Qitian Hall, and began to announce the list and set up a supervisory team.

A few days later, the list of supervisors of the three realms was officially announced. Representatives of the Heavenly Court, the scattered immortals, the demon race and the ghost immortals gathered in the Qitian Palace and accepted the authorization from Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong stood on the high platform, looking at everyone, and said solemnly:

"Everyone, the fairness and stability of the three realms are entrusted to you. I hope you will enforce the law impartially and never show favoritism."

The supervisory members all bowed and responded with solemn expressions.

One month later, the supervision actions began to show results.

The supervision team led by Yang Jian went deep into the three realms, secretly investigated the violations of all parties, and collected a large amount of evidence.

That day, Yang Jian hurried back to heaven with a thick scroll and presented it to Sun Wukong.

"Great Sage, this is the evidence of violation that we have seized."

Yang Jian's tone was solemn, with a bit of heaviness in his eyes.

"It involves many celestial officials, including several senior celestial officials with rich experience."

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

His eyes swept between the lines, and his brows gradually furrowed.

The scroll records in detail the various acts of many immortal officials, such as embezzling resources, abusing their power, and even colluding with foreign races for personal gain.

Sun Wukong's face gradually became gloomy, and the scroll in his hand made a slight sound when he squeezed it.

"These immortal officials are so bold..."

Sun Wukong whispered, with a hint of anger in his tone.

"As pillars of the Heavenly Court, they secretly committed such acts. This is truly an unforgivable crime!"

Yang Jian stood aside with a serious expression:

"Great Sage, this matter must be handled with great care. These immortal officials hold high positions and have great power. If it is not handled properly, it may cause unrest within the Heavenly Court."

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, his eyes were like torches:

"So what if there is turmoil? The authority of the Heavenly Court cannot be trampled upon, and the fairness of the Three Realms cannot be destroyed! Yang Jian, you must immediately arrange for a public trial of these immortal officials, and make sure that everyone in the Three Realms can see that the rules of the Heavenly Court cannot be violated!"

Yang Jian nodded in agreement, then turned and left the Qitian Palace to begin preparing for the public trial.

A few days later, cultivators from the three realms gathered in front of the Qitian Palace. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Sun Wukong personally presided over the public trial of the immortal official who violated the rules.

On the trial stand, several immortal officials were brought up. They looked terrified and their eyes were wandering. They did not dare to look Sun Wukong directly in the eye.

"As officials of the Heavenly Court, you are responsible for maintaining fairness among the three realms, but you abuse your power and embezzle resources. Do you know your crime?"

Sun Wukong questioned in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Several immortal officials knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"Great Sage, please spare us! We were confused for a moment and are willing to be punished!"

Sun Wukong looked stern, slowly stood up, and said in a resolute tone:
"Since you know your crime, you should accept the trial. The rules of Heaven cannot be violated, and the fairness of the three realms cannot be tarnished! From today on, you will be dismissed and investigated, and you will never be allowed to enter Heaven again!"

After the trial, Sun Wukong stood in front of the Qitian Palace, his eyes swept over all the beings in the three realms, and his voice was loud and clear:

"From now on, the Heavenly Court will strictly enforce the rules, and any violation will be severely punished!"

The cultivators from the three realms were discussing the matter, and the independent cultivators and representatives of the demon clan praised Sun Wukong's fairness and selflessness.

The immortal officials in the Heavenly Palace were shocked and restrained their previous behaviors, no longer daring to act in a corrupt manner for personal gain.

Sun Wukong looked at the living beings below, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Afterwards, Sun Wukong turned around and returned to the Qitian Hall, where Yang Jian was waiting.

He stepped forward quickly, bowed and said:
"Great Sage, this public trial has had a significant effect. It has cleared up the atmosphere in Heaven."

Sun Wukong walked to the throne and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and said slowly:

"This is just the beginning. It will take time to completely change the long-standing problems in the Heavenly Court."

He put down the teacup and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"Master Erlang, the work of monitoring the Three Realms needs to be further strengthened and we must not let down our guard."

Sun Wukong put down the teacup, looked at Yang Jian with deep eyes, and said in a steady tone:

"Master Erlang, although the monitoring work of the Three Realms has initially shown results, the scope still needs to be expanded. In particular, those important resource producing areas must be brought under supervision to ensure fair distribution of resources and to prevent any embezzlement or abuse."

Yang Jian's expression sternly changed, and he immediately saluted and said:

"Don't worry, Great Sage. I will start making arrangements right away to expand the scope of monitoring and strengthen supervision of resource production areas."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and continued:
"In addition, the reward and punishment system for supervision needs to be further improved. We need to encourage more people to report violations and ensure that whistleblowers receive due protection and rewards."

A hint of approval flashed across Yang Jian's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"Great Sage, you have thought it through very carefully. I will immediately draft new reward and punishment regulations to ensure that the reporting mechanism is more fair and transparent."

Sun Wukong smiled with satisfaction, his eyes full of deep thought:
"Okay, submit the regulations to me as soon as possible and I will review them personally."

After receiving the order, Yang Jian immediately turned around and left the Qitian Palace and began to dispatch personnel and arrange the establishment of monitoring points.
