Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

Early the next morning.

After dealing with matters concerning the Moon Palace Wonderland, Lin Xuan returned to the main hall of the Pangu Palace.

He still has something to finish.

Lu Ya.

That remnant of the Golden Crow, imprisoned in the Chaos Array, is still hanging outside.

"Brother Dijiang, please help me bring Lu Ya back," Lin Xuan transmitted his voice to Dijiang.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Dijiang used the laws of space to move the stone mountain that sealed Lu Ya, along with the array, back to the backyard of the Pangu Palace.

The backyard had already been burned down once when the Holy Mother of Fire gave birth, and all the floor tiles had to be replaced. Now that another one was coming, Lin Xuan simply marked out a clearing in the far corner of the backyard, specifically for imprisoning people.

The barriers of the Chaos Array remain intact.

Lu Ya was locked inside, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

His condition is terrible.

The purple flames of the Burning Inferno left a large charred scar on his chest, five ribs were broken, and golden blood had dried on the corners of his mouth.

But his eyes were still open.

The flames in his pupils had dimmed considerably, but the hatred remained.

Lin Xuan walked to the edge of the formation, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Lu Ya inside.

"Did you take a nap?"

Lu Ya remained silent.

"Alright, if you're not going to talk, then listen to me." Lin Xuan pulled up a chair and sat down. "First, I've already extracted your Golden Crow essence, so don't expect to use the Solar True Fire anymore. Second, your cultivation has been suppressed by the Chaos Array; you're now at most a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal. Third, I haven't touched your Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife; it's still with you. The reason is simple: that thing is bound to your true spirit. If I forcibly take it away, you'll die. I don't want you to die for now."

Lu Ya finally spoke.

"You're not killing me because you want to use me to blackmail the Western Religion?"

Lin Xuan shook his head.

"You know perfectly well that Zhunti used you as a weapon. If he truly cared about you, he wouldn't have only saved you back then, leaving you to watch your nine brothers die."

Lu Ya's body stiffened for a moment.

"Stop trying to sow discord."

"I didn't provoke you." Lin Xuan stared at him. "Let me tell you a fact. Your nine older brothers were forcibly created by Di Jun by cutting off his own essence. They were born without self-awareness, only knowing how to obey Di Jun's orders. You are different from them; you have emotions. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me for revenge."

Lu Ya did not refute.

"But your method of revenge is incredibly stupid." Lin Xuan's tone turned cold. "You harmed my pregnant wife, and you destroyed the sun's true core, causing havoc among mortals. Do you know how many human villages were destroyed by the flood in the Luo River? Thousands of lives. What's the difference between you and your father? When ten suns appeared simultaneously, how many people were burned to death? You hate me for killing your brother, but didn't those who were burned to death by your brother hate your Golden Crow clan?"

Lu Ya's lips twitched.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Lin Xuan stood up and walked to the array.

You have two paths now.

Lu Ya raised his head.

"First, I'll hand you over to the underworld. With the karma you've accumulated, you'll start by being deep-fried in oil, and at the very least, you'll be soaking in the water for tens of thousands of years."

Lu Ya's face turned pale.

"Secondly, stay in the Pangu Palace. Although your Golden Crow essence has been extracted, the residual warmth of the True Solar Fire within you remains." Lin Xuan pointed to the newly planted Crimson Flame Wutong sapling in the backyard. "I have a fire-type spiritual root planted in my backyard, which needs continuous solar fire energy to grow. You will stay here and release the residual warmth of the True Solar Fire to fertilize this tree every day. Consider it atonement."

Lu Ya's eyes widened.

"You want me... to be a barbecue grill for a tree?"

"If you don't want to do it, that's fine too. Go to the underworld and be boiled in oil. It's your choice."

Lu Ya's face changed from white to green, and then from green to purple.

Use a tree as a human heater.

What kind of operation is this?

He, the son of Emperor Jun, the Great Sun Tathagata, and a quasi-saint at the peak of cultivation, has been reduced to working for a tree.

But the thought of the oil cauldrons in the underworld...

Lu Ya gritted his teeth.

"I choose option two."

Lin Xuan nodded.

"Great, you start work tomorrow. Eight hours a day, meals and accommodation provided, no holidays. If you dare to slack off or cause trouble, I'll have Lin Yan come and chat with you."

Lu Ya shuddered.

Lin Yan, that perverted baby who specializes in burning karma and karmic forces, now makes his legs go weak just hearing his name.

"System notification sound has arrived."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully recruiting Lu Ya Daoist as a logistics staff member of Pangu Palace (human roasting oven/gardener's assistant)."

"Lu Ya's magical power has been limited to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level by the Chaos Array. The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife has been sealed by the array and cannot be used."

Reward: Fire Element Law Fragment (Solar Domain) x1.

Lin Xuan clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Another free laborer has been added.
