A young man with lofty ambitions knows no sorrow…

He was clearly a cunning and malicious old man, but the tunes he sang were extremely unrestrained and bold.

Zhou Yan turned his head slightly and watched the Zhongdou Star Lord leave.

Zhongdou Xingjun's awakening level has now reached 97%. It has only been a little over a year since Zhou Yan last met this old codger, and his awakening level has already increased by 2%. Moreover, at this level, Zhou Yan doesn't think he can fight this old bastard at all.

Don't stop him, let him leave the transit point: '£柶℃¤八哎‖娰∞ ̄衫≥◆钐!听牾 is better.

then……

Zhou Yan turned to look at the white flag in front of him, which was enveloped in soft white light.

Is this a magical artifact containing remnants of the Heavenly Emperor's aura?

What kind of magical artifact could this be?

Zhou Yan opened the attribute panel of the white flag.

Name: Plain-colored Cloud Boundary Flag.

Type: Innate Five-Directional Flags.

Origin: A secret treasure of Yaochi. When this flag is unfurled, all the immortals are enlightened and come to the grand gathering at Yaochi.

Supernatural powers.

Auspicious Clouds: Ten thousand white clouds, pure and protective.

Cloud Realm: Wherever it is located, it forms its own realm.

Bixie: It can ward off all evil and prevent all evils from entering.

Zhou Yan's eyes widened, but he quickly recovered.

The plain-colored cloud-shaped banner of Yaochi!

The plain-colored cloud-shaped banner must be an important magical artifact used by Yaochi for protection, right?

Where did Zhongdou Xingjun obtain this magical artifact?

Could it be that Yaochi, like the South Heavenly Gate and the North Heavenly Gate, was destroyed?!

Zhou Yan looked back at the North Heavenly Gate, guarded by the corpse of the True Martial Emperor, and then at the tragic state of the South Heavenly Gate of the Kunlun Immortal Palace, and sighed.

This is not something I can understand. I must remember that I am still trapped under Arona's oath. No matter what happens to these big shots' real estate, saving Arona is my priority.

Zhou Yan reached out and grabbed the plain-colored cloud-shaped flag.

This plain-colored cloud-shaped banner had no physical form. When Zhou Yan grabbed it, it transformed into a beam of white light and entered Zhou Yan's body, where it shone brightly within his primordial spirit.

Zhou Yan touched his brow. After the plain-colored cloud banner entered his brow, it was like a living thing, breathing in and out with him. Zhou Yan could feel his physical energy and magic power being absorbed by the plain-colored cloud banner like a black hole.

The more he absorbed, the stronger Zhou Yan felt his control over the flag became.

This is like an assimilation process. The Plain Cloud Banner is assimilating with him. In the near future, Zhou Yan can imagine that he can use the Plain Cloud Banner as freely as he breathes.

He was feeding this innate flag with food, no, magic and physical strength.

Several streaks of light flew from the end of the sky and stopped in front of the North Heavenly Gate.

The Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise emerged from the various colored lights.

As the frontline fighters who had previously resisted the comet, they were filled with despair and thought it was all over when they saw the comet hit Earth.

Although the Four Divine Beasts may not necessarily consider themselves human, they have nowhere else to rely on in this world besides the human race.

So when humanity, when Earth is wiped out by a comet traveling at a speed a hundred times faster than light, they will truly be all alone, and no one knows where they will go afterward.

But things took an unexpected turn. After the comet fell, it did not destroy the Earth, but instead dispersed into countless meteors.

The largest of these structures was located by NASA technicians using mathematical methods after a period of time.

The four mythical beasts, using the locked latitude and longitude lines, ran to the area where the North Heavenly Gate had fallen.

These four divine beasts have experienced a century of life and witnessed countless storms, but when they arrived at the North Heavenly Gate and saw the ruins behind Zhou Yan, their expressions all changed, looking like normal people who had seen a ghost.

Zhuque recovered the fastest, and the woman stared at Zhou Yan in astonishment.

Zhou Yan sighed and pointed to the remains of the True Martial Emperor behind him.

"This is the North Heavenly Gate, and this gentleman is..."

Ling Zhouyan pointed behind him to the skeleton kneeling on one knee.

Privately, "True Martial Emperor..."

3. The Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon all trembled violently, just like a shut-in guy whose original world consisted of only a three-square-meter bedroom, who transmigrated into a world where all the older sisters and younger sisters liked him, the busty blonde student council president had a crush on him, and the top student in his class with long black hair confessed his love to him.

Only Xuanwu stared solemnly at the remains of the True Martial Emperor, remaining silent.

Lu, one of the Four Divine Beasts, had long been aware of the fall of the True Martial Emperor; otherwise, he would not have chosen the True Martial Demon-Subduing Sword to ascend to the throne and become the True Martial Emperor.

But even though he knew what was going on in his mind, when he actually saw the corpse of the True Martial Emperor, Xuanwu still couldn't suppress the complex emotions that even he himself didn't understand.

A streak of fire appeared from outside the sky and quickly reached the four divine beasts.

As the flames dispersed, Wang Xuan, the True Lord of the Fire Department, emerged. As a True God, and with the East Sea Kingdom being the second most powerful nation after the Eastern Xia Alliance, Wang Xuan was qualified to know about the appearance of the extraterrestrial comet that nearly destroyed the Earth, and he was also capable of knowing the location where the comet's main body fell.

Wang Xuan arrived at the floating continent of Beitianmen only a little later than the Four Divine Beasts.

Upon arrival, Wang Xuan gazed intently at the North Heavenly Gate.

A sense of crisis that made even Him uneasy began to linger in the heart of this young true God.

Zhou Yan stepped aside and pointed to the ruins behind the North Heavenly Gate.

"Inside, well, you can go on your own. I'm leaving."

Previously, Zhou Yan broke through the South Heavenly Gate, relying on the blessing of the Thunder Essence of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, which allowed him to withstand the attack of multiple divine generals with the Thunder Restriction, and he only managed to survive by relying on the face of the Goddess Houtu.

If it weren't for the Thunder Spirit controlling the restrictions of the South Heavenly Gate, Zhou Yan felt that he wouldn't need more than five True God corpses; the three Heavenly Kings of Growth, Holding the Nation, and Wide-Eyed would have been enough to kill him to a pulp, leaving him only able to be resurrected through divine power.

The North Heavenly Gate shouldn't be any worse than the South Heavenly Gate. Zhou Yan estimated that if he dared to go in, more than a dozen divine generals would come out shouting "White-haired beast!" and want to eat Bai Ze sashimi.

The Azure Dragon, one of the Four Divine Beasts, stared at the ruins where only the words "Northern Heaven" could be seen and sighed.

"I never imagined that I would witness the birth of a forbidden zone for humanity in my lifetime?"

……

Taiyuan Realm.

Yinglong, who was lying on the ground, slightly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he said jokingly.

"Queen Mother of the West, are you just like me?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Chapter Eight: Alive and Well

The abyss of the underworld, Fengdu.

The Imperial Guardian Chariot descended from mid-air outside Fengdu and flew to the city gate of Fengdu.

At the gate of the Eighth City, two enormous skeletal ghost generals trembled. These two ghost generals seemed to have been motionless in this place for a long time. When they got up, large patches of dust fell from their skeleton joints and armor scales. But this did not prevent the two ghost generals from nimbly reaching the gate of Fengdu. They pulled on the copper rings at the tiger's mouth of the gate and slowly opened it.

A massive amount of Yin energy surged outward from inside the gates of Fengdu City, creating swirling patterns of human faces in the wind.

The demon horse began to pull the demon chariot of Xiao Yanjun forward, but at a very slow speed.

The little Yama King, who was inside the Siyou Imperial Carriage, made a water mirror, which reflected the image of Fengdu City that the Siyou Imperial Carriage was entering.

Sixth, there were rows of buildings with a strong ancient style. In the past, this place should have been inhabited by all kinds of ghosts and spirits, but now, after entering, there was only deathly silence. After running through several streets, Little Yama did not see a single ghost that could think or move.

The underworld still exists, but the underworld itself is dead.

From the moment Little Yama obtained the Yama Seal of the Ten Kings of Hell, he knew that the underworld gods who ruled the underworld seemed to have disappeared one by one, leaving no trace. Even now, as the Central Ghost Emperor, he had the opportunity to come to Fengdu, the capital of the Underworld Emperor Fengdu. This city, which looked no smaller than the capital of the Eastern Xia Federation, was completely deserted, with not a single ghost in sight.

Not counting his own words.

After passing through several streets, the Second Little Yama's imperial carriage arrived at the gate of the Luofeng Divine Palace in Fengdu. This divine palace consists of six palaces: Zhou Jue Yin Heavenly Palace, Tai Sha Liang Shi Zong Heavenly Palace, Ming Chen Nai Fan Wu Cheng Heavenly Palace, Tian Zhao Zui Qi Heavenly Palace, Zong Ling Qi Fei Heavenly Palace, and Gan Si Lian Wan Lu Heavenly Palace.

As mentioned earlier, the Ten Kings of Hell are the middle-level managers of the underworld. Above them are the Six Heavens of Luofeng and the Five Ghost Emperors.

What is the purpose of the six days of Luo Feng?

These are the gatekeepers of the six divine palaces: Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace, Tai Sha Liang Shi Zong Tian Palace, Ming Chen Nai Fan Wu Cheng Tian Palace, Tian Zhao Zui Qi Tian Palace, Zong Ling Qi Fei Tian Palace, and Gan Si Lian Wan Lu Tian Palace.

The six heavens of Luofeng, which are above the Ten Kings of Hell, are all guards of the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

The Siyou Imperial Carriage stopped at the entrance of the Luofeng Divine Palace, and Little Yama stepped down from it.

Zhou Yan said he was going to save Arona. After Xiao Yanjun inquired about what Zhou Yan needed, he also had his own ideas. Xiao Yanjun indeed had no relation to Gouchen Shangdi, Ziwei Dadi, Houtu Niangniang, or Antarctic Changsheng Dadi, but he was the second-in-command of the Underworld and the first god under Fengdu Dadi.

As the supreme ruler of the underworld, even if the Emperor of Fengdu is not as powerful as the Heavenly Emperors such as the Emperor of Ziwei when he is not in the underworld, he should still be comparable to these four Heavenly Emperors.

Therefore, if Zhou Yan can get help from the Emperor of Fengdu, it should be much easier for him to rescue Arona.

So, not long ago, Little Yama burned the imperial edict for the Emperor of Fengdu, hoping that the Emperor of Fengdu would lend a hand.

It wasn't until yesterday that the Great Emperor of Fengdu responded, telling Little Yama to come and wait in Fengdu. ¤∮[〃0°]\〖

Fengdu is also a mysterious place. When Xiao Yanjun was the head of the Ten Kings of Hell, he searched all over the underworld but could not find Fengdu. Now that the Emperor of Fengdu has given his permission, this place has suddenly appeared.

It was able to be found by Little Yama.

Little Yama walked to the closed palace gate, then raised his hands and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"The Central Ghost Emperor Yan Shenglin requests an audience!"

The place was spacious, and after Little Yama shouted, his voice began to echo around.

"The Central Ghost Emperor Yan Shenglin requests an audience!"

"The Central Ghost Emperor Yan Shenglin requests an audience!"

"The Central Ghost Emperor Yan Shenglin requests an audience!"

As the sound subsided, Little Yama heard a sudden gust of wind above him. Little Yama looked up slightly and saw something shimmering with light falling from mid-air, landing with a "thud" in front of him.

The thing rolled around on the ground a few times before stopping.

Little Yama turned his head slightly, focusing his gaze on the thing that had fallen to the ground.

This is a token, black in color, with a picture of a hundred ghosts paying homage. Black aura lingers on it, which is the remnant of the magic power of the Underworld Emperor Fengdu.

This was exactly what Zhou Yan wanted: a magical artifact with residual aura of the Heavenly Emperor level after Little Yama issued his decree.

Little Yama picked up the token from the ground, bowed again to the entrance of the Divine Palace, then returned to his own Siyou Patrol Carriage and left.

The Siyou Imperial Carriage departed from Fengdu. Under the observation of the Little Yama King's water mirror inside the carriage, Fengdu began to disappear from six divine palaces: Zhou Jueyin Heavenly Palace, Tai Sha Liang Shi Zong Heavenly Palace, Ming Chen Nai Fan Wu Cheng Heavenly Palace, Tian Zhao Zui Qi Heavenly Palace, Zong Ling Qi Fei Heavenly Palace, and Gan Si Lian Wan Lu Heavenly Palace.

It was as if someone had taken an eraser and wiped away Fengdu inch by inch. This eraser was so excellent that, in its vastness, Fengdu, which could house 30 million people, disappeared completely in just a few minutes.

Does the Emperor of Fengdu not want to see anyone?

still is……

Inside the Siyou Imperial Carriage, Little Yama stroked his chin. Although the Emperor of Fengdu was just a skeleton, he was still alive and qualified to bestow a divine title upon Little Yama. But now that the Underworld was in such a state, Little Yama suspected that the Emperor of Fengdu himself had suffered very serious injuries.

As a result, the underworld has become inextricably linked with the human world, and the underworld's system is almost completely destroyed, yet the Emperor of Fengdu has not taken any action to rectify the situation.

Of course, as a little Yama who wants to help human society, he thinks that if the underworld is gone, it's gone. As long as the human world is still peaceful and prosperous, the underworld can just continue to serve the purpose of reincarnation.

After the Siyou Imperial Carriage left Fengdu, it quickly climbed the levels of the Abyss Underworld. In just a few minutes, it went from the bottom hundred levels of the Abyss Underworld to the top five levels.

Because these first five levels are too close to the human world, many places border the human world, and normal people would not know which part of the human world these bordering areas are connected to.

As for Xiao Wu Yanjun, one of the Five Ghost Emperors, he only needs to glance at the location of Xianglu Lian to know where the third place is. 4≠谰#{

In the underworld, the Little Yama King receives immense blessings. Even if the Four Divine Beasts joined forces and relied on the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, they might not be able to defeat the Little Yama King in the underworld.

The Imperial Chariot of the Netherworld traveled along a relatively insignificant road until it reached the border between the underworld and the human realm. Upon arrival, a massive amount of sunlight descended from the sky, dispelling the yin energy surrounding the Imperial Chariot of the Netherworld.

Little Yama's imperial carriage arrived at a suburb outside Zhongzhou City.

Inside the Siyou Imperial Carriage, the Little Yama King took out his phone, checked the signal bar, and saw that it was full.

Little Yama dialed Zhou Yan's cell phone number.

……

Central City, Capitol Building, Senate.

After spending an hour and a half dealing with the "world-ending" disaster, the four divine beasts that had fallen from the North Heavenly Gate and Zhou Yan returned to the award ceremony held in the Upper House.

This was the fifth person to step onto the stage. A young member of Congress from Rose State took to the stage, and the beautiful female host walked up to him and announced loudly.
