The time traveler does not die from cause and effect

Chapter 158 Gathering of the Divine Kingdom
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the day for paying New Year's visits.

They got up early to receive the worship from the townspeople.

Everyone presented their gifts, and Ye Zhoutian returned them one by one.

The return gift is just a token gesture; these gifts are primarily for income.

If subordinates don't give gifts to their superiors during holidays, their careers are essentially over.

It wasn't much money, just the usual amount.

Before breakfast, after getting ready, I headed to Haizhou City to pay my respects to my teacher, Qi Haitian.

Ye Zhoutian had said in advance that latecomers would not be received, so he had no choice but to go and wish others a Happy New Year, just like the townspeople who arrived early.

Ye Zhoutian's New Year's gift was the White Feather Fire, a rare and precious treasure.

If his subordinates give him gifts, he has to give gifts to his superiors in return!

Qi Haitian was overjoyed to see this, and his face was full of smiles.

It was just a return gift, nothing more than a token gesture.

Qi Haitian's actions were actually a routine: first, he would wait in Haizhou City for people to come and pay their respects.

Then he went to the provincial capital to pay New Year's respects to his father.

As a teacher, facing his student, who was also the top town mayor under his command, Qi Haitian took Ye Zhoutian with him to the provincial capital this time.

He led him, along with eight of his most trusted subordinates, to show off in front of his father.

His father, the Dharma Image True Lord, whose name is Shuiyun Zhe Ri Qi Nan Guang, was the true ruler of the three northern prefectures.

The Dharma Aspect True Lord has a lifespan of ten thousand years, and he will live for at least several thousand more years. It's already quite good that Ye Zhoutian and the others can show their faces in front of him.

Qi Haitian and his group settled down in the provincial capital.

The next day, they went to the four powerful families of Liu, Wang, Li, and Chen in the provincial capital to pay New Year's greetings to each of them.

They naturally worshipped the ancestral masters of the four great families.

The Liu family has Liu Buwei, the Wang family has Wang Sanran, the Li family has Li Chaotian, and the Chen family has Chen Donghu.

The Four Great Dharma Forms!

Unfortunately, Chen Donghu was deep in thought and not at home; he was received only by the head of the family, Chen Fengbo.

As a lackey of his teacher, Ye Zhoutian naturally had to follow his teacher around.

Here, Ye Zhoutian also encountered the city lord of Yinzhou City, the Purple Mansion True Man Mo Luofeng.

Despite being the city lord, he still receives New Year's greetings from these few law-abiding officials.

I met Liu Xiaoman, Liu Tianyi, and Chen Lingdu, and exchanged a few polite words with them.

Below the four powerful families, there is none worth Qi Haitian visiting to offer New Year's greetings.

Qi Haitian returned to Haizhou City, and Ye Zhoutian was now free.

He had already visited the Liu family with his teacher. He then went to the Nalan family, then to the Zhang family in Fushun, and finally returned to Yinzhou City to pay his respects to Lord Mo...

Naturally, I went home and stayed overnight!
The house was bustling with activity, filled with all sorts of relatives, both acquaintances and strangers; the threshold was practically worn down by the crowds.

Even the wealthiest person in the mountains has distant relatives!
This year, there were ten times as many matchmakers as last year. A wealthy family from the provincial capital even sent someone to propose marriage, which pleased Ye Zhoutian greatly. He secretly inquired about it with Ye Zhoutian.

Ye Zhoutian smiled and said, "I have two new friends, the noble ladies of the four great families in the county, and only one of the four beauties of the three northern counties..."

Upon hearing this, the mother understood and immediately turned down all matchmakers, no longer wanting to cause trouble.

The wealthy heiresses in the provincial capital are no longer satisfied; their standards have risen again.

When dealing with these relatives and friends, the Ye family would help them whenever they came to them.

Now his parents are like his former second uncle, doing favors for others and having influence over their words.

Oh, by the way, my second uncle, Deng Yuntao, made a special trip to pay his respects this year; the roles of host and guest have been reversed...

Upon Ye Zhoutian's return, he made a special trip to his second uncle's house to pay a New Year's visit, and directly received a gift worth three hundred gold coins.

We must not forget those who dug the well when we drink the water!
Zhang Chunfeng, Liu Xiaoman, Nalan Shiyi, Li Guangdi, Jin Fangfang...

They also visited the Ye family to offer New Year's greetings, a reciprocal exchange.

After all this commotion, things finally calmed down on the eighth day of the lunar new year. Ye Zhoutian returned to his town, panting heavily.

Paying New Year's visits is more tiring than cultivating divine battles!
Back in town, Ye Zhoutian thought everything had returned to normal, but unexpectedly, the Divine Kingdom received a message from the Divine Lord.

"Honorable Lord of the Muddy Clump, please meet at Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Fallen Cave Tavern at noon three days from now..."

The signature is Crane Taoist
This Crane Daoist had examined Ye Zhoutian's eyes and found him to be quite extraordinary. Ye Zhoutian didn't know what he wanted to do, but he still decided to go.

Soon the time came, and Ye Zhoutian arrived at the Meteorite Cave Tavern.

He rarely comes here; he basically never visits.

Upon arriving at the tavern, selecting the Xiaoxiang Pavilion option immediately teleports you to a grand hall. A private room in the tavern costs 100 spirit stones to open, which isn't cheap.

Upon arriving here, Ye Zhoutian was taken aback; there were already more than ten Divine Lords here.

Among them were the familiar Crane Daoist, as well as Mo Qingxue and Bai Ruoye.

Upon seeing Ye Zhoutian arrive, Daoist He came to greet him and said:

"Welcome, Lord of the Muddy Clump!"

"Friendly fellow Daoist, may I ask what brings you here?"

"Wait a moment, there are still a few people missing. We'll talk to you once everyone arrives."

People arrived one after another, and a total of seventeen deities gathered here.

It seemed that everyone had arrived, but the person hosting the gathering was not the Crane Taoist, but a handsome scholar.

"Greetings, esteemed deities. I am Lu Qingfeng, the Taoist of the Divine Kingdom."

My father is the Lord of the Heavenly Law Nest of the Lu Kingdom!

This statement sparked a great deal of discussion, with many finding it hard to believe.

Most of these deities use the title of "deity" to conceal their identities.

This person directly revealed their real name.

Moreover, he revealed his identity, saying that his father was the Lord of the Heavenly Law Nest of Lu Guo.

Lu Yuzheng, the master of the Heavenly Nest, entered the Dao through the Nest Scenery, ascended to the level of a Spirit God, and became the ruler of the Lu Kingdom.

He has broken through the limitation of the six nests of the spirit god and accumulated to the point of twenty-seven nests.

He alone is worth ten thousand troops!
Such a distinguished status caused an uproar among the crowd.

Ye Zhoutian was also stunned. This scholar was Feng Daoren?

The Celestial God Lord, whom he himself killed, should die at his hands in the future.

After the murmurs subsided, Feng Daoren spoke again:
"Today, I have invited everyone here because there is something that is closely related to everyone's life."

Last year alone, five divine lords of the Fallen Cave were killed, and their divine kingdoms were destroyed!

These words caused another uproar!

Ye Zhoutian was also stunned. He had only killed three people. Who did the other two?
"Golden dawn, flowing light, lifelike, the sky, mountains and rivers!"

It's confirmed, all five of them are dead!

Immediately, someone asked, "Who did this?"

"Doesn't Menjin care?"

"How exactly did he die?"

"Isn't the God's Throne Garden's Fallen Cave the safest place?"

Feng Daoren waited a while and then replied:
"Logically, the Divine Throne Garden and the Fallen Cave should be the safest, but there is no such thing as logic in this world!"

The killer likely used the Divine Artifact Death Arena, a divine artifact specially developed by the Pantheon to destroy the Throne Garden of the Fallen Cave.

Menjin, in fact, everyone knows that it is just a consciousness of heaven and earth, a spirit of law, and the death arena can completely bypass it to carry out the killing.

And I've brought everyone here to stop this slaughter!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone asked again!

"Menjin is a Dharma Spirit? How is that possible?"

Where can I buy the legendary deathmatch artifact?

"How can we stop the killing?"

Feng Daoren smiled, seemingly enjoying the feeling, and then replied:

"Actually, similar situations have occurred before!"
As long as a divine message is sent from a deity within the Fallen Cave and receives the support of 70% of the deities within the Fallen Cave, Menjin will activate a restriction.

For the next hundred years, the Deathmatch Arena will be unable to operate.

A hundred years later, we have all advanced to the Cave Profound Realm and left the Fallen Cave. It's no longer our business!
The reason I invited everyone is to ask for your support. Inviting your friends and partners is also a form of support.

If we reach 70%, everyone will be safe!
By the way, on a side note, this is a signed vote; both support and opposition will be displayed, so those who oppose it are probably up to something!

Upon hearing this, everyone started discussing it again, saying it was a good thing!
The flower spirit Bai Ruoye, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked:
"Feng Daoren, how did you choose us? Why did you choose us?"

Feng Daoren smiled and said, "Because there are 145 divine kingdoms within the Fallen Cave, of which 17 are our divine kingdoms, and the area has reached 1,000 square kilometers!"
"We are the largest divine kingdom that the Fallen Cave can withstand!"

"Therefore, I invite everyone to come and decide the future of all the divine kingdoms in the Fallen Cave!"

The last sentence has a hidden meaning!
