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

Soul-stabilizing thought? Related to the soul?

Perhaps he can learn from He Li.

After all, he also possessed a similar power, and the source of that power was the Great Soul Dragon Elephant.

If the Soul-Stabilizing Intent of the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil is similar to the Soul-Stabilizing Effect of the Great Soul Dragon Elephant Soul-Suppressing Domain, then why should he be unable to learn the Soul-Stabilizing Intent of the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil...

It can also improve the Soul Suppressing Domain.

As for why He Li suddenly became interested in the soul-fixing thought released by the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil?

Actually, it wasn't that he wanted to learn the Soul-Stabilizing Technique.

He was interested in the concept of soul fixation...

He simply wanted to master more ancient powers.

In He Li's view, the power of ancient methods seemed to be much stronger than the power of new methods in later generations. This was also his personal experience after mastering the power of ancient methods in Zhuohe Valley.

It was precisely because of this that he had previously obtained ancient power from the consciousnesses of the sages in the Zhuohe Valley...

Having tasted the sweetness of success, He Licai became concerned.

Now that he has the rare opportunity to travel through time to this ancient era, he naturally wants to learn more so that his combat power can be greatly improved when he returns to the future.

With this in mind, He Li took the opportunity to ask the evil messenger more about the matter of fixing the soul.

The Underworld Envoy of Good and Evil had no reservations about this.

Because in their eyes...

This wasn't a particularly impressive tactic to begin with.

Although this method, if implemented in later generations, would definitely be a force that many powerful individuals would fight over...

However, in this ancient era where powerful beings abound and gods, immortals, Buddhas, and demons are countless, the soul-fixing power of the Netherworld Envoys is really nothing special.

Since it's not some impressive method...

Then why would they, the messengers of good and evil in the underworld, tell the guest of the Lord of the Underworld the methods and key points they had mastered...?

That's not surprising.

However, just as He Li was speeding towards the distant divine tree, discussing the Soul-Stabilizing Power with the Netherworld Envoys along the way, and continuing to inquire about other ancient powers...

However, he vaguely noticed that the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil was becoming somewhat unnatural as they continued to advance.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

They just seemed a little awkward...

It seemed that the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil wasn't as uninhibited in front of them as before, which made him wonder if it was because they were getting closer to the Divine Tree...

Is the Underworld Envoy of Good and Evil not adapting well?

Ultimately, the Envoys of Good and Evil in the Netherworld are creatures from the Netherworld, leaning towards darkness.

The divine tree, on the other side, represents extreme yang...

Moreover, the sacred tree itself is full of intense vitality.

It is even home to mythical beasts, golden crows, and many other beings that carry powerful positive energy.

Being near such a place, it's impossible to say that it would have absolutely no impact on the messengers of good and evil from the corresponding region, the Netherworld of Death.

Thinking about it this way...

As they got closer to the divine tree, the unnatural behavior of the Netherworld's Good and Evil Envoy became more understandable.

As for their changes...

Perhaps something happened? If something really happened, the Envoys of Good and Evil in the Underworld would definitely tell us, after all, they are still tasked with taking He Li to the Underworld.

Because He Li had taken this into account, he didn't pay much attention to the matter.

He simply continued forward, communicating with the messengers of good and evil along the way in hopes of gaining more ancient power, and the journey that followed was much calmer than before.

Aside from the occasional powerful being who happens to pass by...

Or perhaps it was an extinct species in later generations...

They never encountered anything else that required them to linger any longer.

And so, three days later, He Li and his companions, advancing at full speed without any hindrance, finally arrived at the location of the Divine Tree, and were able to observe this legendary existence up close...

"Is this... really a tree?"

At this moment, standing on that enormous divine tree, its canopy partially obscured by clouds and its trunk as thick as a mountain...

He Li's eyes were full of surprise and doubt.

Because when he faced this towering divine tree, his first feeling was that it was not a plant, but a mysterious ancient god with a body ten thousand feet tall, standing there unwilling to leave...

The overwhelming sense of antiquity and vastness was mixed with an undeniable sense of power and sanctity...

If someone unaware of the situation came here...

He would never mistake this for a tree.

He would only believe that the towering, sun-covering divine tree before him was a manifestation of a true deity.

However, aside from the divine tree itself, which surprised and puzzled He Li, the more complex and powerful aura emanating from the tree also filled He Li with vigilance.

It's all because of that complex Qi...

Not only is there a strong aura of the Golden Crow, but also the aura of many powerful creatures such as dragons and phoenixes.

Even while facing the divine tree, He Li felt as if he were being watched by countless eyes.

And He Li was certain that it wasn't an illusion.

That means there are many powerful people watching him!

Those powerful beings are, without a doubt, creatures that dwell in the canopy of the divine tree, and these creatures might attack strangers who rashly approach the divine tree.

Considering this, He Li didn't dare to approach the divine tree directly, but instead looked at the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil...

"Won't we be attacked if we get close to the sacred tree?"

He asked, and the Underworld Envoy of Good and Evil shook his head: "We don't know whether others will be attacked."

"But you... won't!"

Are you so sure?

He Li asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Upon hearing his question, the Underworld Envoy of Good and Evil did not explain but simply shook his head, indicating that they should do their own thing. He Li became even more puzzled but did not press the matter further.

He then turned to Yu Ji: "How is it?"

What He Li was asking was naturally about Yu Ji, who was an existence whose soul had merged with the divine tree of later generations...

Is there anything to be found here?

"I don't feel anything!" Yu Ji replied, "I tried using the synchronization method and found a special kind of obstacle... Let's go, my intuition tells me that I need to contact the divine tree to get a response."

"Is that so?" He Li nodded.

Then, the two slowly walked to the tree.

Looking up at the endless canopy of the tree, He Li and Yu Ji exchanged glances and reached out to touch the sacred tree, but at that moment they suddenly felt a scorching heat emanating from above...

hum! ! !

With that fluctuation, He Li, who was already on guard, suddenly withdrew his hand and quickly retreated with Yu Ji.

At the same time, from within the cloud canopy, a blinding golden-red sun rapidly descended to the foot of the divine tree, and as the sun fell, numerous fierce auras gradually emerged...

The source of those fierce auras was the various ancient creatures hidden near the divine tree.

At this moment, these creatures appeared...

They all stood still, staring at He Li and the other person.

And the blazing sun, as He Li looked over, transformed into a human figure covered in golden light...

"Golden Crow?" He Li frowned.

"No!" Yu Ji replied in a low voice.

Before He Li could look at her, Yu Ji said, "This is the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court from later generations!"

Hmm? He Li's eyelids twitched.

Although he could see the soul's consciousness, he did not see anything similar to the special situation he or Jiang Hongxian had in the golden crow in front of him.

This is also why he didn't realize that the golden crow in front of him was the future Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court.

Although he didn't understand why the Demon Emperor, upon arriving in this era and merging with the body of the Golden Crow of this era, didn't exhibit the overlapping phantom image that existed on his body...

But this is not important.

Importantly, Yu Ji was able to simultaneously discover that the golden crow opposite him was the future Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court...

What are they doing here?

He Li was pondering when he heard the cold gaze and icy voice of the future Demon Emperor, who was possessing the Golden Crow of this era: "You have indeed also arrived in the Ancient Era!"

"It was worth waiting here for so long!"

Huh? Hearing this, He Li was surprised.

Did this guy anticipate their arrival? And was he waiting for them here beforehand?

How did you know we were coming?

He couldn't help but ask, and finally added, "What are you planning to do here waiting for us? Do you intend to kill us? Aren't you afraid that our deaths here will affect our future?"

"Know that uncontrollable changes may not necessarily improve your situation in future generations!"

He Li asked, squinting.

The Demon Emperor remained expressionless, coldly replying, "Was it so hard to guess you'd come here?"

He looked at Yu Ji.

"Her soul is connected to the divine tree of later generations."

"She holds a secret, a secret that neither you nor I have been able to unravel, perhaps a secret laid out by the Heavenly Dao. If you wish to unravel this secret, you will inevitably have to come into contact with this divine tree."

"As for killing you and affecting the future?"

The Demon Emperor revealed a sinister smile: "Of course I know this; why would I need you to remind me?"

What does this guy mean?

Hearing the words of the Demon Emperor, He Li had a bad feeling but couldn't figure out why this guy was waiting for him here and what he wanted to do.

Until Yu Ji whispered something beside him...

"He wants to... replace you!!!"
