Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[You press your hand on your sword, a black sun crown hovering behind you.]

[Mysterious, unpredictable, ominous, and potentially disruptive.]

Pang Hai's arrival was as you expected.

[You won Wei Zhi's bet too; Bo Bing didn't run away.]

[You didn't retaliate against the fairy who gave you the gift, yet I still came to save you.]

Even your beloved junior apprentice, Gong Si, didn't take the opportunity to eliminate you and seize the inheritance; instead, she sided with you.

At this moment, Brother Lü's voice, amplified by imperial power, resounded throughout the world from the distant capital.

"By the mandate of the emperor, I hereby decree this."

Your gaze was lowered, and a gentle smile appeared on your face.

You are never alone on your journey; without realizing it, like-minded people have gathered around you.

There's no need to delve into the purpose.

As long as you're all walking in the same direction, that's fine.

[Emperor Lü Zhen was acting on the imperial decree.]

【"quiet!"】

[With just two words, the supreme power and majesty of imperial authority descended.]

[The unquestionable rules of the human world were imposed upon the eight celestial beings of the ancient family.]

[By relying on the destiny of the Great Azure Dynasty, I have preserved my place in the human world.]

This immediately subdued the eight people.

[Your black robe fluttered wildly, and you arrogantly gazed at the eight people whose expressions had changed drastically.]

[Speaking freely: "Follow me to the capital!"]

"Hahaha..."

The second-generation leader, Pang Hai, laughed wildly, his hand on his sword, and shouted in response, "Yes, brother!"

You are like a black sun crown, surrounded by profound nothingness.

The black-labeled word "已" encompasses both time and space, signifying the end of a process.

[In an instant, they broke through the suppressed defenses of the eight Celestials.]

They vanished in a flash towards the capital.

The second-generation Pang Hai followed closely behind.

The first generation Pang Hai possessed an ordinary aura, like a normal person, but his soul was connected to that of the second generation Pang Hai.

She was pulled along behind him like a kite in the wind.

Gong Si and Pei Qingyu exchanged glances, seemingly competing with each other as they headed towards the central courtyard.

【"etc."】

Just then, Wei Zhi spoke up to stop him.

The two looked at her, puzzled.

[Behind the thin veil, Wei Zhi's eyes gazed at the heavens, her hand holding the imperial decree, allowing her to sense the shifts in the rules of the mortal realm.]

[The next moment...]

【Om! 】

[A deep, profound sound, trembling like the tolling of a bell, echoing throughout heaven and earth.]

[Eight celestial beings suppressed by the imperial decree.]

[They broke free from the constraints of the rules.]

[Strange phenomena appeared in the sky, revealing a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation that blotted out the sun.]

[This subtly corresponds to the arrangement of eight people.]

Before the Taiyuan Hall, Lü Zhen, holding the imperial edict, looked astonished.

[It was discovered that the imperial decree's effect on suppressing those eight individuals had completely lost its effectiveness.]

His expression immediately turned serious, and he stared intently.

[Then it was discovered.]

Eight celestial beings from an ancient family have broken free from the constraints of relying on the dynasty's fortune to remain in the mortal realm.

[Lü Zhen was filled with astonishment and doubt.]

What exactly are they trying to do?

Freeing him from reliance on destiny indeed rendered his decrees ineffective.

However, they can no longer remain in the mortal realm and must ascend to heaven!

[What happened next.]

[Make Lü Zhen understand the eight people's plans.]

【"A fictitious person..."】

[Lu Zhen witnessed one person from each of the eight ancient families stepping forward.]

[By virtue of blood ties and by borrowing a position of authority, they ascend to the realm of gods and men.]

The original eight people instantly plummeted from their Celestial-level status.

[Lü Zhen, quick-witted, immediately devised a way to stop it.]

That means killing the eight people who lent their positions, thus cutting off this method at its source.

But he didn't even have time to make a move.

[Above the heavens, the eight trigrams rotate in a strange cycle.]

[The eight people who had fallen from the Celestial Realm were escorted into the Eight Trigrams Formation.]

If you want to take action against them.

[Only by overcoming the eight pseudo-celestial beings who are merely impersonating other beings and becoming trapped within the formation will there be a chance.]

[You appeared in the capital city, then suddenly stopped and turned around.]

Looking at the unusual Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation in the sky, I sensed the secret that had locked you in place.

"Wow, you can even exploit bugs like this?"

You showed a hint of surprise; this move had given you a lot of inspiration.

[If a celestial being were to relinquish their divine status, it would be equivalent to falling into the mortal realm.]

[Those who falsely claim a Celestial-level status can possess Celestial-level combat power without being restricted by the rules or forced to ascend, as long as their cultivation level is below the sixth realm.]

Because of the rule of the tripartite division of power between the human and celestial beings, celestial beings are not allowed to remain in the mortal realm.

This does not directly target the positional case.

The principle is simple, but its implementation is fraught with difficulties.

[It took eight ancient families, through years of accumulated knowledge and experience, to research and develop this secret technique.]

[As the Celestial Patrol Envoy, you resonate with the Emperor's rules.]

[Let this incredibly courageous and diligent rule guide your work.]

The result remained unchanged.

[How rigid!]

[You silently complain.]

[A strange phenomenon, symbolizing the Eight Trigrams, obscures the sky and blocks your path.]

The second-generation Pang Hai shielded you behind him.

[Tiger's eyes narrowed: "Brother, this formation subtly aligns with the authority of the Eight Trigrams."]

You nodded upon hearing this.

"I can tell."

[His dark hair was dyed red more than halfway through, and a breathtaking brilliance emanated from him.]

[You no longer need to worry about not understanding popular science articles.]

"Huh? Big brother, you can understand it?"

The second-generation Pang Hai turns to look at you.

[Surprised that you've come to understand these profound and mysterious things?]

The first generation leader, Pang Hai, sighed helplessly, and the memory of you in your twilight years, with your full head of red hair and your body radiating wisdom, appeared in his mind.

The second-generation leader, Pang Hai, finally realized what was happening.

[So you've already entered the Red-Haired Monster mode.]

[Heaven (乾), Earth (坤), Thunder (震), Wind (巽), Water (坎), Fire (离), Mountain (艮), Lake (兑).]

[Eight pseudo-celestial beings who falsely claim a divine position.]

[Activating the power of the innate Eight Trigrams.]

The terrifying and powerful force of creation and destruction is immense.

"Big brother, you go first, I'll cover your retreat."

The second-generation Pang Hai gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his resolve unwavering.

You neither refused nor responded.

[Eight celestial beings activated the power of the innate Eight Trigrams.]

The fighting power they displayed was beyond what Pang Hai alone could withstand.

Even with the First Hokage's help, it's still extremely dangerous.

"Empress, Fairy, Junior Nephew, Brother Lü, please lend a hand and join forces to fight against them!"

You shout towards the three women in the mountains.

Wei Zhi is suspicious of your irrationality.

Even if someone were to try to stop them, it should be the three of them, along with Pang Hai and Lü Zhen, who should be doing the blocking.

You should take this opportunity to enter the capital and seek the protection of the Xuanwu Emperor's authority.

Besides, even if you're included, there are only six people. Where did the seven come from?

[Lü Zhen doesn't need you to speak.]

[Having already wielded the imperial decree, he broke through the air and arrived before you, standing shoulder to shoulder with Pang Hai.]

Just when the situation was almost evenly matched, and you were about to head towards the capital.

An aura of majesty, solemnity, dignity, and reverence arose intensely.

You look towards the capital city.

Three celestial beings stood there.

One against three?

You're mentally considering various methods, backup plans, and trump cards.

[Still within the scope of what needs to be addressed...]

【Um? 】

[Four statues, five statues, six statues.]

Your expression gradually darkened.

[I have gained a true understanding of the profound heritage of the Wanzai Dynasty.]

[The capital city even stood up the next moment.]

You're not surprised at all.
