See you on the Divine Mountain
During the past two months, Upheaval had been in constant motion.
It was fair to say that Upheaval had undergone a complete transformation. Quite a few high-ranking members had been suspended from their posts, and over ten thousand of their members had been captured by Wei Jie and brought to Raging Flame City to await Ye Zichen's punishment.
"Your Excellency, here's a list of their names."
Wei Jie and a group of Upheaval's higher-ups sat in the main hall.
The list was handed to Ye Zichen. He glanced coolly at the densely packed names, then set it aside.
"It's my fault for failing to supervise them properly. These people tarnished Upheaval's reputation."
When he saw Ye Zichen set the list down, Wei Jie hurriedly bowed and apologized. "I've already dealt with these people. If I were to kill them all, it would make our gang seem too vicious. That's why I feel that we should demote them to slaves and send them to distant lands to make up for their crimes. "
"That's fine."
Ye Zichen nodded at Wei Jie.
"However, there's no need to worry too much about these vile people. Just kill them. Sometimes, death is far more intimidating than simple labor."
"I understand." Wei Jie nodded, then retreated to the side.
Having dealt with the gang's vermin, Ye Zichen's gaze landed on the information engineer he'd brought with him from the Lower Realms.
"How's the construction of the information network coming along?"
"Emperor Ye." A thin, middle-aged man walked out from the left side of the hall. He cupped his hands at Ye Zichen, then said, "Based on my speculations, we can establish an information network here. However, we're too weak to do it."
"What level do you think we'll need?"
"You'll need to be at least an earth supreme," said the information engineer.
"From this day forth, Upheaval will no longer restrict your resources. We'll provide you with any pills beneficial to your cultivation without limit. What you need to do is raise your cultivation to the supreme level as quickly as possible. "
Ye Zichen waved his hand, and the information engineer returned to his post.
"If there's nothing else, you're all dismissed."
Before long, everyone in the meeting hall left. Only Zuo Mo remained. After everyone else left, she walked up to Ye Zichen and gently massaged his shoulders.
"Don't give yourself too much pressure. Since you've chosen a leader for this gang, there's no need for you to do everything by yourself. You haven't had a good rest in the past two months."
Thanks to Blue Qilin Village, Ye Zichen and Zuo Mo's relationship had finally broken through. Over the past two months, their relationship had quickly warmed up.
Ye Zichen sighed, reached out and patted Zuo Mo's hand, then smiled at her.
"How's the Chamber of Commerce?"
"You don't have to worry about me. I've been doing business for a hundred years. Do you still need to doubt my experience?" Zuo Mo pursed her lips into a smile and massaged his shoulders. "Don't worry. One day, I will definitely make the Hundred Treasures Trading Firm the number one trading firm of the God Race. If you have time, you should go rest."
"I'm afraid it will be very difficult to rest."
Ye Zichen shook his head and sighed. Zuo Mo couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?"
"You know that I'm an earth supreme now. Recently, I've clearly sensed this place rejecting me. My strength has stagnated, and it won't be long before I have to ascend to the Divine Mountains."
Ever since Ye Zichen returned to the Divine Mountains as a supreme, he'd sensed this place rejecting him.
Previously, he'd been able to rely on his strength to suppress this rejection, but in the past two weeks, it was as if the rejection had turned on him. He was on the verge of losing control.
Zuo Mo's expression darkened. She'd just gotten a little nervous with Ye Zichen, and now he was about to leave.
Out of selfishness, she didn't want him to leave.
"Why are you the only one being rejected? Based on my understanding, there are quite a few supremes in the Lower Lands. The yao supremes in your Yao-Sealing Pagoda are living well here too. "
"The yao in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda might be there because of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, but as for the god race supremes …. I'm afraid they paid a hefty price to remain here. Based on my deductions, the price they paid was giving up on their own advancement. "
If there were no restrictions on supremes in the Lower Lands, the situation would be completely different. There were definitely Masters of the Laws here as well.
After becoming a supreme, you absorbed divine power from heaven and earth, which was practically negligible in the Lower Lands. If you wanted to stay here long-term, you'd be stuck here for the rest of your life.
After a moment's hesitation, Zuo Mo didn't insist.
As one of Ye Zichen's people, she would support his every decision. Besides, she knew exactly what Ye Zichen's goal was.
Zuo Mo's expression darkened, but she forced a smile.
"When do you plan on leaving?"
"Half a month from now."
Ye Zichen had long since calculated the time. During this time, he'd do his best to take care of everything he could, then head to the Divine Mountains without distractions. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about Upheaval even after he reached the Divine Mountains.
"So soon?"
Zuo Mo's eyes flashed with inexplicable bitterness. Ye Zichen sensed her dispirited tone and reached out to grab her hand.
"Why are you like this? It's not like we'll never see each other again. If there's a chance, I'll come down from the Divine Mountains to see you. "
"No need." To his surprise, Zuo Mo shook her head. "I'm going to the Divine Mountains to find you."
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.
A dozen or so people stood by the side of an ancient path outside Raging Flame City. They'd all come because Ye Zichen was about to ascend the Divine Mountains. Ye Zichen had intentionally kept this news a secret. If he'd let it out, it wouldn't have been as simple as just a dozen or so people.
"From now on, I'll leave Upheaval to you."
Ye Zichen stood in the middle of the path, his gaze landing on Wei Jie and the other elders.
"Your Excellency, we definitely won't let you down," said Wei Jie solemnly.
Wei Jie replied with a straight face, and the others nodded in agreement.
Ye Zichen wasn't particularly worried about the pills. All yao below the immortal king level of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda remained in Upheaval's inner sanctum. Lei Zhen, one of the first floor's three commanders, stayed behind to stand guard, and the Parliament of Stars watched over them from a distance. Upheaval's development shouldn't be too difficult.
"Enough chit-chat. Let's part ways here."
If they kept chatting, they might not be able to leave anytime soon. So, Ye Zichen decided to end the conversation, then cupped his hands at the crowd.
"See you on the Divine Mountains."
The others all wore solemn expressions. Only Zuo Mo's eyes brimmed with disappointment, but she still smiled at Ye Zichen and wished him well.
