After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Damn, I suddenly feel like a country bumpkin from the countryside, easily startled by anything I see.

Little Yama went up to the second floor, and after the second floor was the third floor. The third floor was where ancient books were stored. The people in this place were all professionals, so there were very few people on the third floor. Everyone was scattered in different areas, and you had to walk through several bookshelves before you could see someone reading a book.

These people reading were all so engrossed in their books that even when Little Yama walked past them, not one of them bothered to look up at the delicate little girl beside them.

Little Yanjun couldn't help but laugh out loud. Sure enough, these engineering nerds are the same everywhere; not a single one of them is willing to come up to a pretty girl.

Little Yanjun walked all the way to the history library in Section D on the third floor. There were even fewer people there. Little Yanjun walked past eighteen bookshelves before he saw an old man standing on a movable staircase, holding several books in his hands, stuffing the books back onto the shelves one by one.

The old man had regular features, and although his skin was loose, a strong scholarly air enveloped him in an extremely dignified manner, making people inexplicably feel that he must have been an extremely handsome and legendary figure with many stories in his youth.

Little Yama stood outside the bookshelf where the old man was, silently watching him stuff the books he was holding back into the gaps in the shelf.

The old man was probably quite old; his hands trembled as he picked up the books, and his hands shook even more as he tried to put them in the box. When he was putting in the third book, his hand slipped, and the thick book fell to the ground.

Little Yama walked into the aisle between the bookshelves, picked up the bookshelf that had fallen to the ground, and handed the books to the old man.

The old man on the steps lowered his head and chuckled awkwardly.

"As you get older, you become useless. Thank you, young lady. I'll treat you to a milk tea later."

The old man descended two steps, picked up the book from Xiao Yanjun's hand, and as soon as he took it down, his gentle expression froze when his gaze focused on Xiao Yanjun's face. The book fell to the ground again with a "thud".

Little Yama looked at the old man's aged face with complicated emotions and sighed.

"I'm back, you've grown old."

The old man remained silent for a long time before replying.

"The young disciple grows old in the martial world, and the beautiful woman's temples turn gray."

The old man descended the steps and walked up to Little Yama.

"I have been taking these two poison pills, Sun and Moon, for a full 150 years."

Little Yama said jokingly.

"You're still the same as before, all pedantic and rambling, never speaking properly."

The old man laughed heartily.

Several librarians who were arranging books across the street turned around and looked on in astonishment.

In their minds, this old man had always been a mature, dignified, and extremely composed person. The librarians here had never seen him laughing so heartily before.

……

Zhongzhou Century Square.

Zhou Yan walked out of the square.

Meanwhile, Lin Anru and Bai Rusu walked between the cosmetics shops.

When Zhou Yan came out with the two women, he thought Bai Rusu really wanted to show him around Zhongzhou. But as soon as they came out, the woman went straight to the nearest international shopping mall and went on a shopping spree of clothes and cosmetics.

This is all too familiar. When Zhou Yan was little, every Chinese New Year, Zhou Yan's mother would drag Zhou Yan and Zhou Yan's father to the mall, saying that she was buying things for her son and husband. In reality, she was going shopping with her daughter and female relatives. Zhou Yan and Zhou Yan's father were the ones doing all the hard labor.

Therefore, Zhou Yan entered the mall and ran out without saying a word, intending to go somewhere to rest and wait for the two women to return after shopping. However, not long after he left, Zhou Yan received two messages from Xiao Yanjun.

"Would you like to meet the God of Literature?"

"Also, bring your fox over."

Below is a software location that shows the location as Zhongzhou Library.

Final Chapter Competition

Central Continent Library.

The old man surnamed Ye led Little Yanjun to his office. Little Yanjun went into the office and found a seat at the desk, while the old man went to the water dispenser to get a disposable cup and then asked a question.

Coffee or tea?

"Coffee with milk and double the sugar. I won't drink it if it's not sweet."

The old man smiled.

"You still have the same tastes as before."

The old man pressed a few buttons on the water dispenser, and hot coffee came out. Then he added milk and sugar. After doing all this, the old man handed the full cup of coffee to Xiao Yanjun and then sat down at the only desk in the office.

The old man leaned back in his chair and asked curiously.

"How did you come back to life? I went to Kunlun Heavenly Palace with that guy Lao Fu, and we almost got killed by the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning before we even got inside. Is there really anyone in this world who could go to Kunlun Heavenly Palace and drag you back?"

Little Yama said smugly.

"Wait a moment, my savior will be here soon."

As soon as Little Yama finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, followed by a young voice.

"I am Zhou Yan."

Little Yama turned around.

"The door isn't closed, come in."

The office door opened, and Zhou Yan walked in, carrying Su Xiaowan in his arms.

Little Yama turned back to the old man and said.

"This is the guy who saved me."

The old man curiously examined Zhou Yan's body from head to toe, but looked away after a few seconds, unable to discern anything.

He couldn't see anything, but Zhou Yan could.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Are there really so many question marks?

However, compared to before when all I could see about Suzaku was a row of question marks, now I can at least discern some basic information.

The little Yama King opposite Wenquxing pulled out a chair from beside him, and the little girl patted the chair cushion.

"Little one, come and sit down."

Zhou Yan walked over and sat down next to Little Yama.

Wenquxing turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Yanjun.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic, Lao Yan, tell me, what do you want to do now that you've been resurrected?"

Little Yama leaned back in his chair, while the little girl held her chin up, looking haughty.

"What else can I do? Of course, I'll just do what I used to do now."

Wenquxing smiled wryly.

"Old Yan, you're thinking too lightly. This world has long since fallen apart. It's not just a problem of a few people, but a problem of the entire era and the entire environment."

After Xiao Yanjun's death, Wenquxing worked with the three City Gods to manage the entire Eastern Xia United Federation government. The federal government was doing well when it first started.

Now, the entire federal government, which has been established for more than two hundred years, has fallen into a vicious cycle of declining national strength.

Wenquxing said with deep sorrow.

"In recent decades, all politicians, including presidents, vice presidents, and cabinets, have been pushed into power by capitalists."

The Eastern United States is a democratic system, meaning that the president and cabinet members of the federal government rise through the ranks from district councilors, township councilors, city councilors, state councilors, and members of Congress. Each councilor was originally elected by the local people to represent their interests.

However, with the emergence of capitalists, news media, and the internet, the purity of this system's elections has been greatly distorted.

"Old Yan, you don't know, nowadays capitalists will fund all kinds of legislators, advertise for them, and come up with all sorts of plans to attract voters for them."

Zhou Yan couldn't help but interrupt at that moment.

"Influencer economy?"

Wenquxing glanced at Zhou Yan and nodded.

"Yes, our elections now are more like a contest of internet celebrities. It's all about who has the most appealing persona. They get elected, but those who get elected don't care about the people. They just want to repay the big spenders who supported them to get to high positions."

"Old Yan, you know what I mean, right?"

Little Yama Yan Shenglin nodded.

"I've heard about this from Xiao Zhou. Isn't it just about political donations?"

During Yan Shenglin's era, political donations were not considered a crime as long as they were transparent, and the same is true now.

Wenquxing shook his head.

"It's not just political donations that cause politicians to be morally corrupt; the monopolistic groups led by the Four Divine Beasts are also a troublesome problem that's hard to get rid of."

Wenquxing said bitterly.

"These four divine beasts have monopolized our country's water, electricity, rice, and grain. The federal government simply has no way to fight against these four divine beasts at this time."

Little Yama nodded in agreement.

The Four Divine Beasts have used their power to deeply penetrate the realm of people's livelihood.

Whether it's the electricity price of three cents, the meat price of less than ten yuan, or the living environment where you don't have to worry about food and drink even if you work for a day, it's all thanks to the Four Divine Beasts.

They may not have been humane, but they did bring tangible benefits to humanity.

It's no exaggeration to say that if the Four Divine Beasts wanted to, they could easily plunge the entire Eastern Xia Federation into great turmoil.

Originally, the government, possessing the Wenqu Star and the Wuqu Star, was still capable of compromising and negotiating with the Four Divine Beasts, and even suppressing the restless awakeners.

However, as the Wuqu Star fell and the Wenqu Star gradually disappeared, the federal government's rule began to decline to its limit.

Little Yama understood somewhat.

"So, if the federal government wants to regain its dominance, it's like dealing with the Four Divine Beasts?"

Wenquxing sighed and lamented.

"It's not that easy. These four divine beasts are already tied to people's livelihoods. If you make even a slight move, there will be a price increase for water and electricity. Let's see who can withstand that?"

Wenquxing had someone calculate that if Zhuque's power plant dared to double the electricity price, from three cents to six cents, the cost of living for the people would increase by 12% across the board. If it tripled, that would be an increase of 30% across the board.

In other words, you did nothing, and the country didn't fall into any economic crisis, but just because Zhuque tripled the electricity price, your income suddenly dropped by nearly a third.

Which government could withstand this?
