I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Bixia: "..."

She hated this kind of pretentious nonsense, but since the person in front of her was a big shot, she could only listen.

As for the Demon Lord who had just appeared... Bixia hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask him anyway.

Since everything has already happened, even if the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord doesn't kill her, she won't die even if she asks.

Conversely, she would die even if she didn't ask.

Since that's the case, why not satisfy your curiosity?

Bixia asked, "What happened just now? Your Highness doesn't seem to have been bewitched by evil spirits."

Bixia had been controlled by the Demon Lord before, so she had some experience.

If the Demon Lord controls the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord, she will no longer need to pretend after being exposed.

It was precisely because the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord did not seem to be controlled by the Demon Lord that Bixia felt there was more to the story.

Upon hearing Bixia's question, the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord laughed and said, "A mere demon cannot control me."

Feeling underestimated, the Demon Lord decided to stop hiding and reveal himself, saying, "It's only a matter of time; you won't last much longer."

Upon seeing this, Bixia's mind raced as she began to ponder what was going on.

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord is highly accomplished. Since she was not under control, why did she not expel the evil spirits?

Seemingly sensing Bixia's doubts, the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord casually captured the Demon Lord and suppressed him to a place where he could not be seen, before calmly saying, "Fortune and misfortune are all determined by fate, and destiny is beyond human control."

Bixia: "..."

Riddler is someone I just can't understand!

Fortunately, the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord wasn't completely unwilling to reveal any valuable information to Bixia. She smiled and said, "Your presence here today is your destiny. I feel at ease knowing that the Underworld has entrusted its affairs to you."

"Entrust?"

Bixia was shocked on the spot.

She was just a minor deity, so how did she end up being entrusted with the underworld?

"That demon is right. I will soon be gone from this world, and the underworld needs someone to take charge."

You possess a kind heart, a steadfast will, and abundant blessings; naturally, you are capable of undertaking great responsibilities.

Bixia was a little embarrassed by what he said.

She hasn't even properly fulfilled her role as the Goddess of Mount Tai yet!

"Your Majesty's words are too much for this junior to bear."

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord simply smiled and said, "After taking over the Underworld, you will have more confidence to realize your grand ambitions."

Bixia was startled; she felt that she had absolutely no secrets from the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord.

It seemed that the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord knew what she was thinking.

"Don't be afraid, this is your destiny."

As she spoke, the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord opened her palm, and a black lotus flower slowly bloomed in her palm.

"This is the authority of the underworld. After I die, it will be transferred to you, and then you will be the ruler of the underworld."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord flicked her finger, and a black lotus flower was imprinted on Bixia's forehead, giving the already dignified and noble Bixia an even more sacred aura.

The suppressed Demon Lord discovered the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord's actions and was immediately filled with shock and rage.

If the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord has relinquished her authority, what is the point of her occupying this body?

In order to gradually devour the true spirit of the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord, she consumed a considerable amount of her own essence.

Now all we have is an empty shell; it's fair to say we've lost everything.

What's even more infuriating is that if she doesn't continue to consume her own essence to erode the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord, she won't even get an empty shell, and she will be suppressed indefinitely.

Knowing full well that he would lose everything, yet still having to keep increasing his investment, this frustration drove the Demon Lord to the brink of mental collapse.

What a bad start!

She only did two things after coming into this world. Even though she was careful enough, neither of them went smoothly. Was it really that God was not on her side?

"Bah! My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"

"whispering sound."

Earth Mother Heavenly Lord smiled.

With the power of an ant, one dares to speak presumptuously of the Way of Heaven.

Although the Demon Lord is the ruler of the Demon Realm, his understanding of the Heavenly Dao is not as profound as that of a mere underworld ruler.

The wrath of Heaven is unpredictable; even the Great Celestial Venerable would not dare to speak of defying Heaven.

Those who lack a clear understanding of the Way of Heaven are less likely to revere it.

The Demon Lord may not understand, but Heaven will teach her a lesson.

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord was too lazy to say anything more to her, and instead continued to give Bixia instructions for her funeral.

She didn't explain why she locked up the Demon Lord; she only said what she needed to say.

"Your voice indicates that you are destined to have weak family ties. Although you are a very affectionate person, it will be difficult for you to stay with the person you love for a long time."

Especially if you have a weak parent-child bond, you should make plans early.

Today's shocks came one after another. Before Bixia could recover from discovering that the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord had been possessed by the Demon Lord, she was chosen as the successor of the Underworld.

After she was greatly shocked, the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord revealed that she was pregnant.

One wave after another, she was completely exhausted.

Now that the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord has revealed her pregnancy, she can no longer hide it and has no choice but to ask the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord for advice.

Listen to advice, and you'll have a full meal.

The Earth Mother said calmly, "You and the fetus in your womb are not meant to be. Sending her away is the right choice, otherwise neither you nor your daughter will survive."

Bixia felt a pang of pain in her heart upon hearing this.

She and Lin Yi were forced to separate. Now, will she and her child also be unable to escape such an ending?

"Can't I even fake an adoption?"

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord shook her head and said, "Separation brings mutual benefit, while unity leads to mutual destruction. You must learn to let go."

If Bixia hadn't had an emotional connection with the baby in her womb, she might have just gritted her teeth and accepted it.

But the unusual movements of the fetus yesterday and today have made her accept this little life.

That was her daughter; that feeling of being connected heart to heart was something no one else could understand.

She's been pregnant for over a year.

She had been eagerly anticipating the birth of her child and had made all the necessary plans, but now she was told that the family ties were weak.

What did she do wrong?

Time will give you the answer. Your bond will not be broken by separation, and you will eventually meet again.

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord couldn't bear it, so she revealed even more heavenly secrets.

With her comfort, Bixia's heart wavered a little.

Immortals have very long lifespans, so if they can endure the loneliness for a while, they will eventually be able to see their daughters again.

She can distinguish between what is important and what is not.

"Now that you understand, you should leave. An old friend of yours is coming to see me soon, and you should not meet now."

Bixia realized that the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord must be referring to Lin Yi.

She didn't think they shouldn't meet, but since the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord had spoken, she couldn't refuse. So she obeyed the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord's words, left the Underworld, and returned to the human world.

At this moment, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor finally received a plea for help from the mortal realm. When Bixia returned, he happened to be in the mortal realm, listening to Linglin recount what had happened.

The Eastern Heavenly Emperor was immediately enraged.

This sword immortal, who failed to kill him last time, actually took advantage of his absence while he was reporting for duty in Heaven to launch a sneak attack on the Mount Tai Temple and even threatened his daughter.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

Originally, he was too lazy to get involved in the war between Heaven and Earth; there were plenty of other gods who would do that kind of work, and he didn't want to get his hands dirty.

But now, an angry old father is capable of anything.

"Bixia, how are you? Are you alright?"

The Eastern Heavenly Emperor immediately expressed his concern for his daughter. Bixia shook her head to indicate that she was alright, and then said, "I have brought shame upon the temple and know that I am guilty. I am afraid that I am not fit to be a goddess. I beg Father Emperor to issue an edict to remove me from my position as a goddess."

"The fault is not yours. I have already asked you, and you were also trying to protect others."

"A mistake is a mistake. If we don't punish people, how can we convince them?"

Bixia spoke very firmly, and seeing this, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to agree.

However, stripping her of her divine position was obviously not an option, so she was punished by being sent to the Northern Ice Plains to reflect on her actions for a month.

During this period, Ling Lin took over the position of goddess.

This is Bixia's purpose.

It is clearly impossible to remove the goddess from her position.

Her father would be the first to disagree, and besides, the mistake she made wasn't that serious.

Being forced to open the gates of hell and being punished with a month of self-isolation is already considered quite severe.

Further heavy penalties would make people feel unbalanced.

Although it had only been a month, some celestial officials in the temple were still speaking out for Bixia and trying to plead with the Eastern Heavenly Emperor.

Upon seeing this, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor felt that his daughter had made a brilliant move.

Despite being coerced, they did not lose the support of the people; on the contrary, it made them even more united.

Since that's the case, he can't let Bixia off the hook even more.

Anyway, it's not a very serious punishment. For mortals, going to the ice plains might be considered a punishment, but for immortals and gods, it's just going to a deserted place.
