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

Calamity monsters appeared one after another.

The chaos in the capital of Shu began to intensify.

Meanwhile, in the celestial palace in the upper realm, there stood a tall young man draped in golden feathers, with eyes shining like the sun, exuding a sacred, noble, terrifying aura and oppressive power...

He shook his head helplessly as he gazed at the scene of the Shu Kingdom's capital city that he had glimpsed through magic.

"How could my brother be so stupid?"

"Father is the Heavenly Emperor; what matter in the three realms, above and below, can escape his discerning eyes? You erred but instead of apologizing, you dare to think you can get away with it?"

"If he could really fool us, that would be one thing."

"I doubt his father would scold him too harshly."

"But he... I was so angry I laughed."

"He actually went so far as to be used by his enemies, and even schemed against and betrayed by his own subordinates."

"Now look what happened? Things have blown up."

"Father deliberately didn't punish him, but now that he's caused such a huge mess, he must be severely punished!" The golden-feathered youth said with a laugh, his tone full of mockery.

After he finished laughing, the gods and immortals standing not far below him finally spoke...

"Your Highness, should we intervene in this matter?"

"After all, because of the Eleventh Prince, two of those ants have now escaped and caused trouble."

"Their situation will spread very soon."

"Many ants in the middle world probably know this."

"They might interfere with our plans and cause more complications. Given the current situation... should we step in to quell the situation and reverse the outcome?"

Upon hearing this, the young man shook his head.

"Intervene? No need."

"I have already said that nothing in the Three Realms, whether in heaven or on earth, can be hidden from Father's eyes."

"Father already knew about the affairs of the Shu capital, so why should we interfere? The fact that Father didn't get involved means that he has his own plans."

"If we rashly intervene..."

"I fear that my cleverness might backfire and ruin my father's plans, which would be a real loss."

At this point, the young man added with a smile, "Although the affairs of the Shu Kingdom's capital are none of our concern, there's still the variable of that scoundrel who dares to plot against our Great Sun Golden Crow..."

"But we can intervene and handle it."

"After all, our father has always hoped that we brothers could take care of and help each other."

"From my brother's perspective, I have every reason to get involved in this matter and deal with the variables. If we handle it properly, Father will certainly not be stingy with his reward."

Upon hearing this, the other immortals and gods frowned.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Shall we take care of Dingfengxian?"

"No rush!" The young man shrugged. "Since that bastard is plotting against my foolish brother..."

"Then let's wait and see."

"It's not too late for me, as the elder brother, to deal with the bug and the variables once my eleventh brother is caught in the trap!" The young man said this with a smirk, clearly harboring a scheme.

Help Jinwu Eleven?

He doesn't have such pure good intentions.

Even if they are all golden crows of the sun...

Even if they are brothers, in this world fraught with danger, even gods cannot avoid being affected by calamities at any time, turning into monsters or even being killed outright...

Family ties and friendships are useless; the most important thing is to fight for your own interests and survive.

The reason for helping Jinwu Eleven...

Ultimately, it was this golden crow that set its sights on something about He Li, who was a variable.

He didn't act immediately because he knew that variables like He Li were not easy to deal with. He wanted to see first how the battle between Jinwu Eleven and He Li would go.

Only then will he be absolutely certain...

He Li was successfully captured.

Of course, he wouldn't say much about these thoughts.

After a brief moment of thought, he continued, "There's also the variable of finding that person from the lower realm."

"Although her role has diminished now."

"But as long as Father's plan has not succeeded, she will always have enough value for us to pay attention to. From now on, you all keep a close eye on that special person from the lower realm."

"I need to know everything about her."

"Yes!" The immortals nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, in the Shu Kingdom, the capital city...

Rumble! Rumble! With a deafening roar, the surrounding buildings collapsed as the two catastrophic monsters, who seemed to be working together, attacked the buildings.

During the battle, many Qi cultivators from the Shu Kingdom were brutally killed by those two special catastrophic monsters.

And the aftermath of the battle...

This also made the city more chaotic.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Li and his two companions easily stepped into the area that had been isolated by the Shu Kingdom with a special wall, and Wen Sheng Gu's reaction reached its peak at this moment.

"It looks like it's diagonally below!"

"That should be... the base of the divine tree, right?"

Passing through the gaps in the collapsed buildings, Yu Qingge pointed softly to the towering, withered tree diagonally ahead and spoke in a low voice. He Li nodded slightly upon hearing this and then activated his ability...

With a whoosh, a large amount of soil and rock, affected by the force of gravity, flowed upwards, revealing a downward channel.

The three of them jumped in.

As they continued their descent, Mu Lan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with those two monsters?"

"Do you know something?"

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on He Li.

Upon seeing this, the latter shook his head: "I'm not quite sure."

"It's just a few guesses..." He paused for a couple of seconds before continuing, "You should know that I can see the essence of a creature's soul through its body."

"Why don't you try to guess what I saw when I looked at those two catastrophic monsters!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingge tentatively asked, "Could it be that what you saw is related to the divine tree?"

"The Divine Tree? I'd say it's similar, but that's about it!"

He Li shrugged in response.

Seeing their growing curiosity, he continued, "Normal calamity monsters are ultimately still human Qi cultivators, so their souls haven't changed and they still look human."

"But those two catastrophic monsters..."

"Their souls merged with plants, becoming extremely twisted, deformed, and very strange..."

Upon hearing He Li's words, Yu Qingge's eyelids twitched.

"Could this also be related to Yu Ji?"

She asked almost instinctively.

He Li shook his head: "I'm not sure, but it's not normal for the Middle Realm and the Upper Realm to summon Yu Ji. It's possible they're using Yu Ji to research something terrifying..."

"And those two special catastrophic monsters are very likely the products of their failed experiments."

"in addition……"

He Li paused for a moment.

"What else?" Mu Lan pressed.

He Li frowned and said, "Furthermore, I suspect that the Middle Realm and the Upper Realm may want to cultivate divine trees in large quantities... or, they may want to cultivate special individuals related to the divine trees."

"As you also know, the Fusang Divine Tree possesses a spatial power that allows it to connect with other worlds."

"It can even connect to the realm of the dead."

"If... if they discover something that allows an individual to bear the power of the Divine Tree, does that mean that they, as individuals, can ignore the barriers between worlds...?"

"Freely traversing the three realms?"

"Even freely traveling between the realm of the dead and reality?"

He Li had this suspicion because Yu Ji's soul, which was combined with the divine tree, was already taking root in the realm of the dead. Perhaps Yu Ji would be able to easily travel to other worlds in the future.

Ultimately, the creatures of the middle and upper realms are all eyeing the lower realm, hoping to use it as a refuge from disaster...

However, due to the limitations imposed by the world and the Heavenly Dao, they cannot easily traverse the Three Realms and are thus trapped in their current location. Theoretically, they need an ability like Yu Ji's.

So after seeing those two catastrophic monsters...

He Li has every reason to suspect that the purpose of summoning Yu Ji in the Middle and Upper Realms is to create an individual through Yu Ji who can freely travel between the Three Realms and the Realm of the Dead without regard to restrictions.

Of course, these are just speculations.

Is that really the case...?

We'll have to wait until we find Yu Ji, or ask other powerful figures from the Middle and Upper Realms for the answer.

And He Li's speculation...

This also made Yu Qingge and the other person somewhat alarmed.

They knew very well that if the Middle Realm and the Upper Realm gained the power to freely travel between the three realms without any restrictions, it would be an absolute catastrophe for the beings of the Lower Realm.

The power that the lower realm currently possesses is simply no match for the top gods of the upper realm.

Let alone the gods of the upper realm...

If the Middle Realm were to send a large number of top-tier Qi Refiners to the Lower Realm without regard to restrictions, the Lower Realm would inevitably suffer heavy losses and might even be unable to hold out.

He Li's guess is really too bold...

That's really something to worry about.

For a moment, Yu Qingge and Mu Lan were both a little down and didn't ask any more questions.

It wasn't until Yu Qingge's hands that the Wen Sheng Gu suddenly exhibited a new reaction, its mouthparts constantly pointing straight ahead. Only then did Yu Qingge realize what was happening...

"Yu Ji, he's here!!!"
