Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Guimen Pass stands majestically on the coast!

The high-ranking officials in Kyoto were terrified by this.

Not to mention the other powerful and influential figures in the Great Xia Dynasty.

In the eyes of those powerful and wealthy people, He Li, whose strength was already among the top in the human world, would be no different from an invincible god if he obtained the power of the Netherworld.

This being observes humanity...

For those powerful and privileged individuals who are accustomed to exercising their privileges, it is tantamount to having a "Sword of Damocles" hanging over their heads, a sword that could fall at any moment.

The saying goes, "Heaven is watching from above..."

It seems that at this moment, it began to take on a concrete form.

However, compared to the fear and unease of the powerful and wealthy.

Many more people, however, are happy.

After all, the stronger He Li is, the better he can protect those of them who are often oppressed by the powerful and wealthy.

Not only is He Li already comparable to a god on earth, but they also wish He Li would become even stronger, because only when He Li is stronger can more people enjoy his protection.

Only then can they truly feel...

What does "fairness" mean?

Of course, the appearance of the Ghost Gate Pass is not just about demonstrating He Li's power.

Many people began to doubt the authenticity of the so-called Yama's Palace and the Eighteen Hells, especially those who had done bad things, who were extremely concerned about this matter.

After all, if this were true...

After they die, they will be put on trial, and who knows how many horrific tortures they will suffer.

The reason why evil people used to act with impunity...

That's because they know that as long as they hide it well enough...

Then they won't be punished.

But now that the Gate of Deception has appeared, who can guarantee that the mythical figures of Yama, the Black and White Impermanence, and the Ten Levels of Hell don't exist? We can't afford to gamble.

Therefore, those people had no choice but to pay attention and spend time and energy investigating these matters.

He Li had some guesses about this.

After all, the Ghost Gate Pass is steeped in mythology, coupled with the related judgment mechanism of the Underworld...

He had long suspected that news of the Ghost Gate Pass would spread...

Many people will conduct the survey with trepidation.

Especially those in power and wealth.

This is actually what he wanted, mainly because the Netherworld was severely damaged after the separation of heaven and earth, and many facilities, including the Ghost Gate Pass itself, needed to be repaired or rebuilt.

Otherwise, it cannot function properly, let alone unlock more Netherworld supernatural powers.

However, He Li's energy is limited.

He didn't have time to immediately investigate the things about the former Netherworld.

So he released the Ghost Gate...

This forces those who are afraid to investigate on their own initiative.

At that time, he can simply sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Even if they can't find anything.

"But even finding some general direction is better than me aimlessly searching for clues later!" He Li looked back at the Ghost Gate with a cheerful expression after arriving on the island.

Meanwhile, a thick fog blanketed Wushan...

"Yu Qingge!!!"

"What...what exactly are you going to do?"

"Do you even respect us elders anymore?"

Suddenly, an old and shrill voice rang out from the isolated fortress behind the mountain lake, filled with anger and disbelief.

And the person who raised the question...

He was one of the tribe's last remaining elders.

At this moment, however, these elders were no longer the high-ranking and respected figures they once were. Now, they were kneeling on the ground, bleeding from their mouths and noses, looking rather pitiful.

Unfortunately, neither Yu Qingge on the other side nor the other young ancient Shu descendants around her...

None of them truly pitied them.

Yu Qingge, in particular, showed no pity for them but instead stared at them coldly: "What are you doing? It's obvious you're going to push these elders off the stage."

"Because you are no longer fit to lead us."

"From now on, we'll walk our own path!"

She spoke in a cold tone, and the elders, despite their weakened state, looked up in annoyance...

"Yu Qingge!!!"

Do you even know what you're doing?

"You actually poisoned us?"

"And they even colluded with these rebels within the clan..." The leading elder seemed to want to use his status as an elder to persuade and threaten Yu Qingge to stop doing this.

Unfortunately, he didn't finish his sentence.

He was interrupted by the middle-aged man next to Yu Qingge: "Alright, elders, stop with the nonsense."

"This isn't just Qingge's decision!"

"This is a decision we all made."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the crowd...

"We, the elders, have suffered for too long. Our ancient Shu tribe has had countless excellent opportunities to develop, but they have all been blocked and interrupted by you elders with feudal ideas."

"If it weren't for you, our tribe would probably have become world-renowned and the strongest long ago."

"He Li will also be one of ours..."

"But look at you all, what have you done? You're completely disregarding your tribe for the sake of your own immortality..."

The middle-aged man grew increasingly agitated as he spoke, and the younger people behind him also stared at the elders with dissatisfaction and hatred, which made the already frail elders even paler.

However, they did manage to figure it out.

These younger generations are now determined to drive out the older generation.

Persuasion is no longer effective.

In addition, they were poisoned by a Gu curse...

If you can't unleash your full potential, there's no point in resisting.

You could even lose your life!

So after a moment's thought, the elders refrained from further provocation and instead turned to look at Yu Qingge, the leader: "You did this... because of He Li's influence, right?"

Yu Qingge did not refute what she heard.

Because this is the truth, He Li is already a god among men, and to be his enemy is nothing short of courting death.

She didn't want to wait for her people to be killed.

The clan elders didn't expect Yu Qingge to respond.

He just sighed...

"What happened was our mistake."

"But we have no choice. Yu Ji... is essential to the Middle Realm and even the Upper Realm. Of course, it's pointless to talk about this now, but I need to remind you of something..."

"Ancient Shu had its own king!"

"We don't need to fawn over him excessively."

Hmm? The king of ancient Shu?

Yu Qingge and the others frowned.

"What do you mean?" Yu Qingge couldn't help but ask.

The clan elder sighed, "Emperor Wang...you should know that the origin of this ancestor is a mystery. Ancient books only record that he 'fell from the sky and stopped at Zhuti,' which is full of doubt."

"However, we later discovered that Emperor Wang was likely not a being from the Qi Refining Era."

"He might be from another timeline."

"And in the upper realm there is a True Lord of the Sun, Moon, and All Laws..."

"He can observe the past, present, and future."

"Based on the information we have obtained, Emperor Wang may be an existence brought there by the power of the True Lord of the Sun and Moon at a certain time, and it is possible that more than just Emperor Wang was brought there."

At this point, the elder squinted his eyes.

He seemed to be recalling something, and after a long while, he spoke again amidst the expectant gazes of everyone…

"Ancestors who returned from the Qi Refining Era!"

"And it may happen very soon."

"That person... will lead the ancient Shu to regain its former glory!"

As he spoke, he shook his head again: "I admit that over the years, because of this secret, we knew that someone in ancient Shu would lead us to glory, so we missed many opportunities..."

"I even feel somewhat guilty towards the tribe."

"But at least we kept the secret."

"We don't need to worry about the outside world; we just need to stay calm and wait for the right opportunity."

"While our desire for immortality is partly behind our connection with the Middle and Upper Realms, we also hope to gain more relevant clues through this opportunity..."

"Should we find the King of Shu as soon as possible?"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Even Yu Qingge, who was always talking about this, was shocked by the secret suddenly revealed by the clan elder.

Emperor Wangdi was actually from the future?

Although this sounds a bit outrageous.

But upon closer reflection, the ancient texts don't really explain in detail where Emperor Wang came from; the only explanation is that he descended from the sky...

And that True Lord of the Sun and Moon's Myriad Laws...

He happens to possess the power to control time and space.

Therefore, it is not impossible.

However, there are many problems. For example, even if this is true, who can be sure that the people that Sun Moon Myriad Laws True Lord brought over were from their own era?

What if we bring back people from the past, or people from thousands of years in the future?

And even people from this era...

But those who could be taken away by the True Lord of Sun and Moon's Myriad Laws must be top-tier experts, even if they didn't return to the Qi Refining Era, right? Does that mean they are necessarily related to the ancient Shu and would help them?

There are too many problems with this matter.

Yu Qingge pondered for a long time.

In the end, he simply pressed on coldly, "How can you be sure that person is the king of ancient Shu and can help us? And how can you be sure they are people of this era that we were able to find?"

The elder shook his head upon hearing this.

"It's not something we can be sure about."

"Instead, it's found in the ancient tribal language passed down orally..."

"There is information about this!"

The tribal language? Yu Qingge was taken aback.

But then, as if she had just thought of something, her beautiful eyes narrowed instantly...
