From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 369 Detention
According to the requirements of the deity, one must burn incense and bathe for three days before respectfully setting up an incense table, which You Ming had no choice but to comply with.

The deities of the Criminal Law Department were furious, but they didn't want to really clash with the people of the Fertility Department, so they could only endure it.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. You Ming changed into an official robe and ordered people to set up an incense table, offer fruits, and respectfully await the imperial decree.

"The council of the Department of Fertility decrees that the deity Youming has made outstanding contributions and is eligible for promotion to the seventh rank of deity. He is hereby granted the title of [Director of the Department of Fertility, Protection of Offspring, and Harmony of Fortune], and shall hold the rank of seventh grade."

"It governs the auspicious signs of conception in the mortal realm, oversees the peace and tranquility of the fetus, and also governs the joyous occasions in humankind. By bestowing this seal, the incense offerings of temples will naturally increase..."

"He is also specially bestowed with a crimson silk cloud-patterned dress and a pair of Baoyuan jade earrings."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the clouds descended from the top of the palace.

You Ming felt a weight on his shoulders, as if the entire world had pressed down on him. But in the next instant, that heaviness transformed into a warm and auspicious light, flowing into his body from all directions.

The incense in the hall responded with a loud roar, and as the smoke swirled, auspicious clouds rose from the top.

In that instant, he seemed to have a deeper understanding of the circumstances of all the people in his jurisdiction. With a single thought, all the beings who had given birth to offspring under his protection, as well as the circumstances of those newborns, were clearly reflected in his mind.

At the same time, he also felt a faint yet powerful force flowing towards him from everyone, like a river.

Through this power, he seemed to be able to observe the cause and effect, fortune and misfortune of all people. He could even mobilize these powers to bless or weaken mortals.

Good luck!

You Ming immediately understood what it was.

His previous divine office was [Lord of the Mountain and River Prosperity Office], which gave him some ability to bestow blessings. However, this part of his authority was not high. But now that he has been promoted to the seventh rank [Director of the Office of Procreation, Preservation, Harmony and Blessing], this authority has increased considerably.

Youming can observe the fortunes and misfortunes of all beings in an instant, and can increase the blessings of the devout and bring misfortune to the wicked.

He was also quite pleasantly surprised. Most of the people were praying for divine protection. Apart from some specific requests such as asking for children or wealth, most of them were praying for things as vague and intangible as good fortune.

The increased authority one has over good fortune is a good source of blessings for oneself.

However, You Ming's joy was quickly interrupted.

"Now that the imperial decree has been issued, you should come with us."

The deity in charge of the Criminal Law Division spoke coldly, his patience almost at its limit.

"What's the rush? The head of the department has given instructions. He thinks You Ming is a talented young man and has specifically ordered us to take him to the Department of Fertility. You should continue to wait."

Jiangyun Xuannv glanced at these people with some displeasure.

"Jiangyun!"

"Don't force us to take action!"

"A thorough investigation into the death of Jiang Shen is an order jointly issued by the various emperors and Dao lords of the Heavenly Gang. You have been dragging your feet and obstructing it in every way. Are you trying to protect this kid?"

Using the methods of the Criminal Law Department and with the help of spatial rewind, they naturally found the scene of Jiang Shen chasing You Ming before his death.

Although it is extremely unbelievable that a Dharma Aspect cultivator could escape the pursuit of a third-grade deity, You Ming still has a major problem.

"Xing Fang, try using your hands!"

“I’ve heard of some cultivators who can kill enemies across realms, such as True Monarch Cangyuan. But even True Monarch Cangyuan couldn’t kill a third-rank god who is equivalent to a true immortal at the Dharma Aspect level. There are so many realms in between, such as Tribulation, Consuming Clouds, Dharma Lineage, and Dao Integration.”

"If this child is truly such a genius, I should do him a favor and protect him. This is beyond genius; it's an auspicious omen."

"But I heard that the madwoman broke into the Abyss and was devoured by the evil demons. Heh, if you have the ability, go and wipe out all those evil demons. Instead, you come here to make things difficult for a Dharma Aspect cultivator. Should I praise you for having a big face?"

Jiangyun Xuan Nu merely sneered. The fact that the River God had been devoured by the Fiend was hardly a secret. Almost everyone in the Heavenly Realm with any sense had heard about it.

"you……"

The leading deity was rendered speechless by Jiangyun Xuannu's sharp rebuke.

However, Jiangyun Xuan Nu's words were all true, and he couldn't refute them at all.

“Mysterious Lady, we are just conducting a routine investigation. Why do you have to be so rude?”

“That monstrous demon often transforms into a demon of the heart to bewitch people in the human world. If this child is controlled by the demon and becomes bait to lure cultivators into the monstrous land, it is not impossible.”

"Otherwise, why would he choose to flee to the Abyss?"

The leading deity gradually realized what was happening and ignored Jiangyun Xuannu's unreasonable arguing.

"Guards, bring the Commander's decree. Anyone who dares to obstruct us, kill them on the spot."

He glanced coldly at the people in the Department of Fertility, then tossed out a phantom imperial edict.

Above the decree, a grand hall vaguely appeared, with more than a dozen mysterious energies flowing around it. As soon as it was unleashed, it transformed into a vast power that covered the entire Yuanling Mountain.

The expressions of the people in the [Department of Fertility] changed. Although this decree was not the original version signed by the [Heavenly Court Chief], it still contained the residual aura of the various emperors and Dao Lords. Once this decree was issued, it represented the Heavenly Court's rules, and they could not stop it.

"I thank you all, esteemed gods, for intervening on my behalf. However, I believe that our Heavenly Court has strict rules and regulations and will certainly not wrong an innocent person."

"I believe I have not been invaded by any evil demons, and the death of the River Goddess is also unrelated to me."

"Today I will accompany the gods of the Criminal Law Department on this trip."

Seeing this situation, You Ming knew that the gods of the [Fertility Department] could not be stopped. Not wanting to put others in a difficult position, he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Jiang Yun Xuan Nu.

"Little carp, you..."

Jiangyun Xuan Nu originally had no connection with You Ming. Her visit was merely to do Jin Tong Shen Jun a favor.

But You Ming's words made her look at him in a different light.

"Let's go."

The deities of the Criminal Law Department tossed out a long, thin chain that instantly bound You Ming's body.

You Ming's magic power was instantly restrained, and his physical body became weak and powerless, his feet felt unsteady, as if he had become a mortal.

At the same time, a thin iron hook grows from the front and pierces his collarbone.

"when."

But Jiangyun Xuannv reached out and threw a silver light, which flew out and crashed directly into the iron hook.

"Xing Fang, that's enough."

"You dare to use such a method as piercing the collarbone on an ordinary cultivator? Don't embarrass your [Criminal Law Department]."

Jiangyun Xuan Nu was in a bad mood at the moment and said with a sullen face.

"let's go."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xing Fang did not argue with her. He turned around, rode on a cloud, and headed towards the Heavenly Court.
