Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 605 Guiyue Gongcao, Tianpeng Steward? I don't want to work for anyone!
"To witness such a spectacular battle, even death would be worth the ticket price."

Mo Yu muttered to himself.

A chilling atmosphere and a nonchalant, domineering air clashed fiercely on the terrace.

The starlight and golden rays almost tore the sky apart!

However, he ultimately didn't get to see it.

To witness firsthand the earth-shattering battle between two half-step Primordial Immortal Emperors in this place.

Just as the Ziwei Emperor's icy killing intent reached its peak...

"Oh dear, it's getting late. I suddenly remembered that the furnace in the alchemy room is still burning!" Zhang Bairen suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Brother Mo, Ziwei, let's reschedule for another day!"

The words have not yet fallen.

His dazzling golden avatar vanished right before Mo Yu's eyes.

They didn't even offer the slightest resistance...

They just slipped away like that.

'You are the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor!'

Mo Yu was speechless for a moment.

He seemed to understand why Zhang Bairen, despite being so despicable and having made countless enemies in the Heavenly Court, hadn't been completely wiped out by the Northern Emperor and others.

This guy really has no shame at all!
They can run away faster than anyone else!

The Ziwei Emperor showed no surprise at this, as if he were already used to it.

He turned his gaze back to Mo Yu.

“Sun Wukong has an extraordinary background, and his origins are in harmony with the Heavenly Way. Even we are unwilling to easily bear the karmic consequences of killing him.”

The Purple Star Emperor's voice was deep and emotionless: "In the siege battle hundreds of years ago, he made a bet with the gods and Buddhas of the East and West by taking his own life. Together they created this Shadow God Diagram."

"He dispersed the spiritual energy and destiny within his body."

"The spiritual energy that he once devoured has evolved into most of the living beings within the diagram."

"And his own spiritual essence transformed into the six senses."

"As for destiny..."

Emperor Ziwei paused, then gave Mo Yu a deep look: "This is the core of this bet."

"Theoretically, the chosen one can only be his reincarnation or a monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain."

"Am I the reincarnation of the Great Sage?"

Mo Yu rubbed his face.

He immediately immersed himself in the task, repeatedly reviewing his own spiritual memories.

He reviewed it several times with his divine sense.

No.

Nothing at all.

No matter how I look through it, I only have memories of less than a month.

Beyond that, all the memories are from before the time travel.

Mo Yu didn't notice anything amiss.

Compared to him, even the mute monkey who loved listening to stories seemed more like the reincarnation of the Monkey King.

"Don't interrupt. Of course you're not him!"

The Purple Star Emperor's calm tone carried a hint of speechlessness.

"We can't stop the monkeys that come out of Flower Fruit Mountain."

"Moreover, we must ensure that every 'chosen one' can successfully enter the Shadow God Diagram to undergo trials."

"Then……"

Mo Yu rubbed his chin, finally unable to hold back and asked, "You guys really followed the rules?"

You are being threatened with suicide by a hostage.

Anyone who actually commits suicide is an idiot.

All the threatening people are dead, so the hostages who can't resist are easy to take.

Even robots sometimes break the rules.

"Although I don't particularly like Haotian's methods, how could he possibly suffer a loss?" Emperor Ziwei curled his lip.

Mo Yu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Bairen, that despicable bastard!
"Letting the chosen ones enter the Shadow God Diagram, for us, is actually..."

The Ziwei Emperor's tone carried a hint of inexplicable sigh: "There are also quite a few benefits."

“The chosen one can absorb spiritual energy by killing. And when the chosen one dies, the spiritual energy he absorbed will not dissipate.”

"We cannot take the portion of spiritual essence belonging to the Shadow God Diagram. However... we can put additional living beings into it."

“The extra spiritual energy generated by these beings, who were killed by the chosen ones in the Shadow God Diagram, is something we can seize.”

Mo Yu understood instantly.

So this thing is basically like an alternative peach tree or ginseng fruit tree, right?

He glanced down at the shimmering, iridescent image of the Shadow God in his palm:

"So, Sun Wukong used this as bait to lure you into a game, making you bet that he would fail?"

Then, he thought of the story of Wukong from Black Myth.

"wrong."

Before the Ziwei Emperor could speak, Mo Yu frowned and rejected the guess.

"This betting game has another restriction!"

"Sun Wukong's victory condition is definitely not his own reincarnation!"

The Purple Star Emperor nodded: "You guessed right."

In his starry eyes as he looked at Mo Yu, it seemed as if the image of that wise and brave general from a thousand years ago was reflected.

"If he is his reincarnation, and has gathered all six senses and successfully returned... then it will only delay that unfinished battle by a few years."

"The great war that is bound to break out will still break out."

"So, if he comes back, he'll kill himself again!"

"The second time, the third time, and the cycle continues..."

"But if..."

Mo Yu's pupils contracted slightly as he continued, "If what returns is not his reincarnation, but rather another person who has received his power, inherited his will, and become the second Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

"..."

"Even if we join forces, and all the gods and Buddhas of the East and West were to appear, we would still find it difficult to withstand the surging tide that is about to come."

The Ziwei Emperor sighed, his voice heavy: "We need the faith of human beings to draw spiritual energy. We even need their 'existence' itself to stabilize and strengthen this world."

Therefore, it is impossible for us to kill all living beings.

"even if……"

He stated the most terrifying thing in a calm, factual tone: "...we have this capability."

Mo Yu remained silent.

However, he did not refute it.

Because, after Zhang Bairen took him on this journey through the Moon Palace, he also discovered many things.

This celestial court certainly has many celestial officials and underworld messengers, who are mortals who have attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.

But the vast majority...
His gaze fell on the Fairy of Rainbow Robes, who was still kneeling before him.

These are not human beings, but are born sacred!

Whether it's moonlight, a gentle breeze, flowers or grass, even the stars in the sky, or certain concepts.

Those who truly cultivate themselves from human form to become gods are extremely rare, one in a hundred.

They were neither of the same race, yet were born powerful.

How would they view the "human race"?
Mo Yu could easily imagine it.

After all, that's how he views demons.
However, being able to understand does not mean being able to accept it.

The Ziwei Emperor looked at him quietly, as if he had noticed something, or perhaps he was thinking about something.

He paused, then steered the conversation back on track: "However, the probability of another Monkey King appearing is extremely small."

"So small as to be almost impossible."

"We can only ensure that the chosen one can enter the Shadow God Diagram Trial, but we cannot guarantee that he will pass the trial."

"Although immortals are not allowed to enter, as long as one suppresses their power to below that of a true immortal, it is still possible to enter."

Mo Yu, who had become the chosen one by a twist of fate, lowered his head and remained silent.

He knew that besides these things, there was actually one more thing that the Ziwei Emperor had not said outright.

That is, the path chosen by Sun Wukong, though a great path, is far too difficult.

Choosing to become "him" means not only facing the encirclement and scheming of countless gods and Buddhas.

It also means fighting alone.

There is no one to rely on, no one to confide in.

Every step forward on this thorny path is an ordeal, akin to walking on mountains of knives and seas of fire.

but……

As long as he turns around.

If only he chose the other path.

Choose to turn around and become one of these countless gods and Buddhas.

Then he could immediately become the Western Heavenly Venerable Buddha and the Heavenly Emperor.

They have endless glory and wealth to squander.

Mo Yu's gaze fell on Fairy Ni Chang once again.

Perhaps this is the real reason why Zhang Bairen brought him to the Moon Palace.

Ignorance breeds fearlessness.

If he couldn't see the road ahead clearly from the beginning, and just followed his passion without looking back, he might stubbornly choose not to turn back.

But if it were from the beginning...

These two paths are clearly laid out before him, allowing him to choose.

One is thorns, the other is a beauty.

One is a solitary struggle, the other is a decadent indulgence.

Given a choice, aside from a very few "fools"...

There really isn't anyone who can resolutely choose that difficult and dangerous path that doesn't bring them much benefit.

Emperor Ziwei saw that Mo Yu was deep in thought.

Then I knew that he had already thought of the layer that I hadn't explicitly said.

He was very satisfied with Mo Yu's comprehension, but did not reveal any further information.

The time is not right. "Go and collect one of the Six Roots of a Great Sage as soon as possible; consider it a task for you."

Mo Yu snapped out of her reverie.

"I understand," he nodded in agreement.

In any case, the two Heavenly Emperors have already given the benefits.

The two secret techniques, one gold and one purple, were still swirling in his sea of ​​consciousness.

And this task wasn't the kind he couldn't accept.

He was also hoping to get the Heavenly Canopy Dao Fruit from the Jade Emperor.

Upon seeing this, the Ziwei Emperor casually waved his hand, removing a wisp of starlight from the Fairy of Rainbow Robes.

Time, which had been stagnant, began to flow again.

The Purple Star Emperor was about to wave his hand to dismiss the two.

A golden light appears!

The immense, vast, and supreme imperial pressure instantly filled the entire space!

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes, whose consciousness had just returned and was still stuck in the previous moment, was instantly drawn to the sudden, magnificent golden light.

"This...this is...the Investiture of the Gods?!"

Having just caught her breath, Fairy Ni Chang was startled again and lowered her head once more, unable to look directly at him.

Mo Yu looked up curiously at the scroll of the golden list slowly unfolding in mid-air.

Among them, I saw my own name!

[Imperial Edict: Now, there is… (omitting ten thousand words of praise)…who is hereby specially appointed as: Guiyue Gongcao. So be it!]

"???"

Mo Yu was a little confused.

What is that bastard Zhang Bairen up to now?
The fairy in her flowing robes, kneeling on the ground, heard his whisper.

Her delicate body, hidden beneath her white hair, trembled!
Gongcao was in charge of evaluating and recording performance.

In the Heavenly Court, this rank is indeed not considered high.

If you don't have connections, this can even be considered a thankless and risky job.

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes stole a glance at Mo Yu, who was frowning, and felt bitter inside.

However, judging from the attitude of the Jade Emperor and the Ziwei Emperor towards the man in front of them just now.

His position as Gongcao is extremely prestigious!
Forget about evaluating achievements; he could just casually erase or add a zero to the merit list...

I bet even His Majesty the Jade Emperor would have approved it with a smile!

In this world, no matter what you cultivate, you will ultimately be subject to the concept of "spiritual essence".

The spiritual essence of heaven and earth is finite.

How should it be allocated?

It's all about achievements!
Therefore, the prerequisite for immortals to ascend to heaven is called "having accumulated three thousand merits".

This refers to the merits recorded by the Gongcao (功曹).

In the past, there were no officials in the twelve towers of the Moon Palace.

The entire Moon Palace's twelve towers are under the sole control of the Moon Goddess, and all promotions, rewards, and punishments are decided by her alone.

The duties and responsibilities of the Gongcao were actually taken over by the lords of the twelfth floor.

However, now there is...

Emperor Ziwei narrowed his eyes again as he looked at the golden list in mid-air.

poach his people right in front of him!

He was still offered a position in the Arctic Celestial Court!

Emperor Ziwei snorted coldly.

With a casual tap, a token formed from the power of the Purple Star flew out through the air.

"call out!"

The token hovered in front of Mo Yu.

"Again?!"

Mo Yu's eyelids twitched violently.

The first thing he did when he stepped into the extraordinary world was to resign!
He doesn't want to go to class B for even a single day!

Or rather, I'm doing two jobs on the side!
Before he could refuse, the token transformed into a purple light and entered his body.

"The steward of Tianpeng Mansion?"

Mo Yu looked completely bewildered.

This doesn't even qualify as a formal celestial position.

The cold voice of the Ziwei Emperor rang out: "It has been a thousand years since Tianpeng descended to the mortal realm."

"His mansions in various parts of the celestial realm have been neglected and are gradually falling into disrepair. You should take good care of them for him."

"what?"

Mo Yu was about to argue that he was not good at this.

But when he looked up...

The figure of Emperor Ziwei was nowhere to be seen on the main seat.

On the vast terrace, the golden light dissipated, and the purple glow subsided.

Only he remained, along with the Fairy of Rainbow Robes who had just gotten up from the ground.

A cold wind blew by, making the scene seem somewhat desolate and lonely.

"..."

Mo Yu looked at the two hot potatoes that had suddenly appeared inside her body and was speechless for a moment.

In front of him, the Fairy of Rainbow Clothes finally managed to stand firm.

She looked at Mo Yu with a complex expression in her beautiful eyes.

"Nice clothes..."

She spoke softly, her voice hoarse: "Greetings, Lord Gongcao."

"Thank you for your help today, sir. Please accept my bow."

As she spoke, Fairy Ni Chang gathered her robes and bowed deeply to Mo Yu.

Her slender waist curved, revealing her snow-white, round breasts.

"No need to be polite."

Mo Yu's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the two full moons, and he had intended to ask her to get up.

But at this very moment, his status as a celestial official, as a meritorious official, revealed his power.

Mo Yu suddenly saw a long string of information above her head.

He examined it closely and realized that it was indeed her celestial register!

【Rainbow Clothes】

Chang'e in the Moon Palace

1,324 merits

【…】

On this merit list, there's a series of golden "+1", "+10", "Offering peaches for the dance, rewarded with a hundred merits"...

But at a certain point a thousand years ago...

However, glaring, bright red "-1", "-5", etc., would appear intermittently.

Moreover, the red ink marks appeared more and more frequently as time went on, like hideous scars.

Mo Yu glanced at it.

['Slackening in dance, offending a divine general', Merit -10. Recorder: True Lord Weijian.]

['The melody is decadent, shaking one's resolve', Merit -20. Recorder: True Lord Weijian.]

['Disheveled appearance, unsightly', Merit -5. Recorder: True Lord Weijian.]

Most of these titles were bestowed upon her by the generals of the Arctic under various pretexts, with the most prominent being that of the True Lord of Mighty Sword.

Mo Yu seemed to be deep in thought.

In terms of rank and strength, this person is on the same level as the Taiyin True Lord.

He was even the supreme law enforcement deity of the Arctic Celestial Court.

The Fairy in Rainbow Robes, a tiny version of Chang'e.

If True Lord Weijian wanted to deduct her merits, how could the master of Guiyue Tower dare to stop him?

The fairy in the rainbow dress is maintaining her bowing posture.

Seeing that Mo Yu remained silent for a long time, one could tell...

He must have seen it!
Thinking of all the difficulties he has suffered over the past thousand years, and the alienation from his colleagues.

Thinking about how she went from being an innocent and carefree moon palace fairy to being a "plaything" that can be manipulated by others, she felt a pang of sadness.

My nose started to sting again.

Since the Jade Emperor and the Northern Emperor were no longer present, and she had no serious offense of disrespecting the emperor, she forced herself to suppress her emotions.

Two lines of tears finally couldn't be held back any longer and silently slid down her cool cheeks.

"Bah."

"Bah."

Tears fell onto her bare, snow-white feet.

Mo Yu's lips twitched.

He is not the Holy Mother.

But no matter what, her current misery is certainly partly due to her own actions.

In addition, she danced both dances today really well.

Especially the song "Moonlight," I enjoyed watching it quite a bit.

Mo Yu had a sudden thought and tried to use his authority as Guiyue Gongcao.

He had no intention of touching the merit that True Lord Weijian had bestowed upon her today.

However, he made annotations in his mind according to the specifications of the Peach Banquet.

'Fairy in Rainbow Robes, your dance is commendable; reward your skill.'

Believe it or not, this thing is actually quite simple; it's just a matter of a thought.

On that illusory record book, amidst that glaring red expanse of -1-5-10...

A brand new golden character appears!

[He performed the dance "Moonlight" before the Emperor; the melody was novel, and his dance was exquisite. The Emperor was greatly pleased and rewarded him with three hundred merits!]

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes sensed the change in her celestial status, but her heart was filled with even more...

Complex and difficult to understand.
