The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 296 From Today Onwards, You Are the Heavenly Emperor

"Report to the Ghost King: A horde of ghosts has gathered and is howling, causing chaos in the Northern Mang Mountain."

"A report: The demons have lost their minds and are approaching the Lord's palace."

"Report..."

"Alright, stop reporting it. I'm not blind; I can see everything."

With a wave of his hand, the Ghost King of Beimang silenced the cries of his ghost soldiers.

He could wait no longer. He forcefully suppressed the turmoil in his primordial spirit and flew towards the Nine Nether Palace.

He was genuinely somewhat panicked, not because he feared these mad demons would offend the Lord, but because he was worried that he had arrived late and that the Lord would be displeased.

When he arrived at the Nine Nether Palace, he saw that the area outside the palace was densely packed with people.

They're all ghosts.

They were listless and showed no signs of madness; they were all prostrate on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

He also understood that it was God who had subdued these mad demons.

"Bei Mang, come in and let's talk."

Then, he heard the voice of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

He flew nervously toward the Nine Nether Palace, this time not daring to slack off.

Its speed was extremely fast; it could travel a thousand miles in a single breath and arrive directly at the gate of the Nine Nether Palace.

He straightened the Ghost King's robe woven from Yin silkworm silk in front of the door. This robe was refined by the breath of ten thousand ghosts day and night for a full hundred years. After he obtained it, he refined it for another six hundred years. Now it already has eighteen Earthly Fiend Law Restrictions. If he refines it for another three thousand years, it should have thirty-six Law Restrictions.

Such a magical artifact is quite precious, after all, it can form a layer of defense and protect the primordial spirit.

"The Ghost King of Beiman has arrived."

The door opened, and two dragons carved on the wall beside the palace gate shouted.

This dragon was a guard of the Nine Nether Palace. In the past, a human dragon fell into the Nine Nether and was captured by the Lord of the Nine Nether. He was then refined into the palace and transformed into thirty-six dragons on the eighteen palace gates. It can be said that one soul is divided into thirty-six parts, which is extremely tragic.

However, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has always looked down on these non-human races. In the Nine Netherworlds, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has the final say. Therefore, those demons, barbarians, and ghosts who fall from the human world into the Nine Netherworlds are rejected by the Nine Netherworlds and relegated to the lowest level of the Nine Netherworlds, or driven to the border of the Nine Netherworlds to hunt down heavenly demons who attempt to infiltrate the Nine Netherworlds.

However, this was not the time to focus on such things. After entering the palace, he walked through a long corridor and finally arrived at a large hall.

There were already quite a few people standing in the hall.

To be precise, they were not people, but a group of ghost kings.

They were all summoned to this place by order of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

The Ghost King of Beimang was relatively inexperienced here, so he stood at the back.

"My Lord, this calamity is strange. We have not found any trace of the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Demon Realm, nor have we heard any signs of human activity. It seems as if it fell from the heavens. Could it be..." The more senior Ghost King Ning spoke first after Ghost King Du arrived.

But this was immediately rejected by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, who sat in the seat of honor: "Absolutely impossible."

Ning meant that this might be the work of the celestial realm.

But Yang directly denied it, which is not surprising, after all, Yang's current position was also conferred by the immortal elders of the immortal realm, and the immortal elders cannot contradict themselves.

But Ning's words were not without reason. Otherwise, in this world sea, there are only four realms that have been discovered so far. If they are not the human realm, not the demon realm, then they can only be the immortal realm. There can't be some other outer realm, can there?

"Your Majesty, I believe there is another world beyond the four realms. Perhaps they are the ones causing trouble," Ning immediately changed his words.

"Then we must report to the Immortal Elder for a decision as soon as possible," another ghost immortal stepped forward.

Ning replied expressionlessly, "It is right for Elder Xian to report, but we need to investigate thoroughly first, otherwise wouldn't that be considered concealing information?"

Standing at the back, Bei Mang felt that Ning's gaze towards the Ghost King was somewhat strange, and his tone was also rather intriguing.

What's going on?

The Ghost King of Beiman was no child. Having lived in this gloomy and ghostly realm for nearly a thousand years, he had seen all sorts of conspiracies and schemes. Therefore, he was already guessing the cause and course of this incident.

"Is it the Lord?" He looked up at the solemn-faced Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, then quickly looked away.

The Celestial Realm's influence on the Nine Netherworld is profound. It has already begun to affect the division of territory and the appointment of officials in the Nine Netherworld. It is rumored that the Celestial Realm intends to reclaim some of the power of the Ghost Kings in various regions and then appoint various Yin officials under the Lord of the Nine Netherworld. This has already aroused dissatisfaction among many veteran Ghost Kings.

Although the Ghost King of Beimang was relatively inexperienced, he did not want his power to be cut off. However, he could not fight against the powerful, since it was the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds who did this, and the next order would come from the Immortal Realm.

With the immortal decree in hand, I doubt anyone in the Nine Netherworlds can stop us.

However, the Ghost King of Beimang has recently received word that Immortal Elder Shenyao was injured in the last battle against the Heavenly Demon Realm and is currently in seclusion to recuperate...

The message was also sent by other ghost kings, because they seemed to want to join forces to force the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds to refuse the decree of the immortal elders of the celestial realm.

The Ghost King of Beimang was now speculating whether the leader of this scheme was this Ghost King Ning, who was rumored to be not far from reaching the Celestial Immortal realm...

However, the turbulent thoughts swirling in his mind were quickly overturned by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds seated above him.

He closed his eyes slightly, then slowly opened them again, as if he had received some news: "The Immortal Elder has already made a decision on this matter. You shall all return to your respective jurisdictions and shall not be summoned or gathered without reason."

Each of the ghost kings had their own thoughts. They paid homage to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, and then left the palace with an imperial edict.

The Ghost King of Beimang, who had just arrived, also left completely bewildered.

"So, Elder Immortal is alright?"

But this is only one side of the story, and who knows what the Immortal Elder's true situation is.

……

At this moment, in the palace, Luo Zu, dressed in a black robe, walked towards a spring deep within the palace.

Behind him followed the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, Yang.

"People have different hearts, so you don't need to blame them," Luo Zu said leisurely.

"God of War, what do you think I should do with them?" Yang asked.

Luo Zu waved his hand: "There is no need to deal with it. The power of the Nine Netherworld is in your hands. What they have is only because the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Netherworld was unclear in the early years. Now that you are the head of the Nine Netherworld, you should be in charge. Whether to take back or give up this power is entirely up to you. There is no need to worry about it."

Yang nodded: "I understand, kid."

Luo Zu turned around and patted his shoulder: "Haha, you don't have to believe those rumors. However, I intend to explore the outer heavens to see if there are other worlds in the world sea. But the immortals in the immortal realm are unreliable, not because they harbor evil intentions, but because they are immature. And the five organs and others each have their own will. So I want you to go to the upper realm and take charge of the immortal realm."

Yang was also taken aback upon hearing this.

He quickly shook his head: "I am still inexperienced and my cultivation is not high. How can I rule the immortal realm or fight against the demon realm? No way."

"Then you should focus on your cultivation. I don't expect you to ascend the throne today. I will cultivate for another three thousand years, and then the Immortal Realm will refuse to let me in. At that time, I will ask the Immortal Realm to appoint you as the Heavenly Emperor."
