Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Eastern Region, Tianzhou, Eternal Night Space, Monarch's Palace.

Ye Junlin leaned back on the salted fish throne, his fingertip tapping the system panel.

My gaze fell upon the description of that Special Summon card:

[Special Summon Card: Randomly summons a combination of factions or characters!]

"Randomly summon factions or character combinations?"

He raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"This is novel; I've never seen this kind of summoning card before!"

"System, use this special summoning card and see what you can summon."

[Special Summon Card in use... Summoning begins...]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully summoned the core member of the "Heavenly Gate" faction in the world of "Storm Riders"—the Divine Mother Luo Xian, along with ten thousand disciples!]

"Luo Xian?"

Ye Junlin was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Was that the chief steward of the heavenly gate in Indra's previous incarnation?"

"Interesting, it seems the master and disciple will be meeting soon!"

"It also comes with 10,000 Heavenly Gate disciples... This special summon card is really something."

He stroked his chin: "The Underworld just happens to be lacking an intelligence organization, so sending these people to the Central Region would be perfect."

As he spoke, he opened Luo Xian's personal information panel:

Name: Luo Xian

[Cultivation Level]: Early Stage of Land Immortal

[Technique]: Sacred Heart Technique

[Martial Arts]: 1. Fierce Yuan Absolute Hand, 2. Snow-Splitting Heaven-Opening Technique, 3. Illusory Sun Divine Finger, 4. Ice Escape, 5. Frozen Ice Spike...

[Origin]: From the world of "Feng Yun" (Storm Riders), he lost both his parents at a young age and became an orphan.

He was taken in by Indra, who happened to be passing by, and adopted by him, becoming his personal disciple.

Upon reaching adulthood, Indra bestowed upon her the title of Heavenly Gate Goddess, entrusting her with all affairs both inside and outside the Heavenly Gate.

He can be considered the chief steward and actual executor of the Heavenly Gate, second only to Indra in status.

She lived her entire life under the majesty and control of Indra.

It wasn't until she met Huai Kong that she first felt the urge to betray him, and ultimately died for love.

Loyalty: 100

"I didn't expect Luo Xian's cultivation level to be only at the early stage of a terrestrial immortal. This means the Underworld's strength has increased even further!"

He then opened the information panel for the ten thousand disciples:

(Ten thousand disciples of the Heavenly Gate: four thousand in the Innate Realm, three thousand in the Grandmaster Realm, two thousand in the Great Grandmaster Realm, nine hundred and ninety in the Void Realm, and ten in the Nirvana Realm)

"Hmm, the composition of these ten thousand disciples is not bad."

Ye Junlin looked at the panel, about to ask the system to summon the person, when he suddenly remembered something:

"Wait, if all 10,000 people were to appear inside this hall, they might be able to burst this hall apart."

He quickly called upon the system:

"System, could you only send Luo Xian to me, and directly deploy the other ten thousand disciples to the Central Region?"

[Ding! Okay. Should the ten thousand disciples be sent to the Underworld or various parts of the Central Region?]

"Can it also be deployed to various locations in the central region?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Deploy 10,000 disciples directly to various parts of the Central Region, the more dispersed the better, so as to facilitate intelligence gathering."

[Ding! Instruction received! Begin deployment...]

[Deployment successful! Ten thousand disciples have been scattered throughout the Central Region.]

Almost at the same time as the system notification tone ended,

A soft light shone into the monarch's palace.

As the light slowly faded, a slender figure materialized.

The woman wore a pale purple robe with wide sleeves trimmed with silver, and her dark hair was tied up high with only a jade hairpin.

Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful, her gaze cool yet alluring, her nose straight and high, and her lips naturally red.

Standing there, she was as beautiful as a banished immortal, untouched by worldly concerns.

Yet it also possesses an indescribable allure.

She landed steadily, bowed gracefully to Ye Junlin, and spoke in a clear, melodious voice:

"Goddess Luo Xian greets Your Majesty."

"No need for formalities." Ye Junlin raised his hand in a gesture of support. "Rise and speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Luo Xian stood up, lowered her eyes, and stood respectfully.

Ye Junlin looked at her and slowly said, "Your master, Di Shitian, has already arrived in this world and is in the Central Region Underworld."

"Next, I plan to send you over to assist him, what do you say?"

"Is Master here too?"

Luo Xian suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, then lowered her head again!

Ye Junlin saw through her thoughts and said calmly:

"I know that in your previous life, Indra used you, and you also... betrayed him."

"But let bygones be bygones."

"In this life, I hope you can put aside your grudges and do your jobs well."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xian's heart tightened, and she immediately lowered her eyes and said:

"The events of my past life are long gone. I have never forgotten his kindness in raising and educating me. Therefore, it is my good fortune to see him again."

"Very good." Ye Junlin nodded in satisfaction.

"Then the intelligence network of the Underworld will be entrusted to you."

"The ten thousand Heavenly Gate disciples that you summoned together have been scattered throughout the Central Region. Once you arrive there, you can manage them as you see fit."

"Yes, sir!"

"Go ahead, there's a teleportation array over there in the plaza that leads directly to the Central Region and the Underworld."

"Yes." Luo Xian bowed again, then turned and left.

"The system panel has been opened!"

After Luo Xian left, Ye Junlin called on the system once again.

Ten thousand people were investigated in the underworld (from the Innate to Nirvana Realm).

"Without realizing it, I have so many people under my command!"

Ye Junlin looked at the system panel and sighed with emotion.

Then he looked at the five early-stage Celestial Realm cultivation cards in his system inventory, stroking his chin in deep thought.

"Hmm! This five-person initial cultivation infusion card! Who should it be given to?"

"Let's go with these five: Lu Xiaofeng! Hei Bai Xuan Jian! Jing Ni, Duan Chengtian! Cao Zhengchun!"

Ye Junlin finally stared at the members of Yongyetian on the panel and confirmed the selection.

Then I remembered that of the people I chose, only Cao Zhengchun and Qiao Feng were inside the Eternal Night Space; the other three were outside.

"System! Can you remotely use cultivation transfer cards on the five people I've selected?"

[Ding! Successful!]

"Alright! Let's use it on these five people!"

[Received! Initiating the application of cultivation transfer cards to the five individuals designated by the host...]

Meanwhile, Cao Zhengchun, sitting cross-legged in the side hall, was practicing meditation.

Suddenly, a vast amount of primordial energy poured down from the void without warning, directly penetrating his Baihui acupoint on the top of his head!

The energy surged rapidly along his meridians and acupoints, washing over his limbs, dantian, and all the acupoints in his body.

Cao Zhengchun's eyes widened suddenly, but he dared not make the slightest move, and could only wholeheartedly accept this unexpected blessing.

The cultivation barrier that had previously held him at the late Nirvana stage shattered instantly before this celestial power.

His aura surged higher and higher... and he advanced with unstoppable momentum.

Finally, it settled steadily at the perfect level of the initial stage of the Heavenly Realm, without any further stagnation.

Meanwhile, the other four did the same.

This sudden turn of events terrified them.

It wasn't until their cultivation broke through to the early stage of the Celestial Realm that they all realized what was happening.

Only their mysterious monarch could possess such supernatural powers.

They all bowed in the direction of the Eternal Night Space.

[Ding! Use complete!]

Lu Xiaofeng (Early Stage Celestial Being), Hei Bai Xuan Jian (Early Stage Celestial Being), Jing Ni (Early Stage Celestial Being), Duan Chengtian (Early Stage Celestial Being), Cao Zhengchun (Early Stage Celestial Being)
