The Great Emperor Comes Knocking
Ye Zichen signaled Yang Jian to calm down, then clicked open the Red Packet Server.
God of Thunder: Yang Jian, what happened to Tianzun?
Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li: I didn't expect something like this to happen in the Underworld. (Looks like he's recovered.)
Yang Jian: He said he'll update me later.
God of Fortune: Something big has happened to the Underworld this time. Even if our Heavenly Court sends troops, we won't be able to deal with the resentful spirits in the 18 levels of hell without three to five days. If the Empyrean agrees to send troops, then I, the God of Wealth, will become a God of Poverty.
Yue Lao: God of Fortune, you're wrong. When Hell is in trouble, it's only right that we lend a helping hand. What's more, this affects the Three Realms. So what if we have to spend some money?
God of Thunder: Yue Lao is right.
God of Fortune: Alright, I'm just saying. Generals, if you really want to send troops, you can discuss with me at any time if you need resources or funds.
Monkey King: Hey, I, Old Sun's monkeys are all ready. Back then, I, Old Sun, had wreaked havoc in the Underworld. This time, it's time to ease the tension between us.
Yang Jian: It's useless for us to talk here. Let's wait for my brother's news.
As the people in the group chatted away, Ye Zichen took a quick glance and scrolled up the chat history. Ten-odd minutes later, Ye Zichen found the first message.
Clairvoyance: Morning Post. Hell is in chaos. The upper echelons were currently gathered together for a meeting. The ten Ghost Marshals were all present, and the Nine Yama Kings were all present as well.
Clairaudient: Morning news, the souls of the Ghost Messengers of the 18 levels of Hell in the Underworld have been destroyed, the internal restrictions have collapsed, and the vengeful spirits have broken out of Hell and escaped. Right now, he was summoning the Underworld Soul Reaper and Soul Shackle Envoys to summon all the vengeful spirits back.
Canopy Marshal: Old Pig doesn't read much, don't joke around.
God of Thunder: Really?
Yang Jian: Stop fooling around. Hell is impregnable. How can it stop collapsing? That's a restriction set up by the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heaven. Even the Jade Emperor can't break it.
God of Fortune: Shh, the Jade Emperor doesn't like people saying that he's weaker than the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heaven.
Yue Lao: Ahem, I've received insider news. The clairvoyant and clairaudient were indeed speaking the truth.
Immortal Chejiao: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva just sent a message asking for help in our Buddhist Realm group. It seems like it's true.
Yang Jian, "… Ox-head just sent me a message. He asked me if the Heavenly Courts can disregard the past and send troops to help suppress them."
God of Thunder: I got it too.
Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li: I received it too.
Canopy Marshal: I, Old Pig, also received it.
Yue Lao: It seems like the situation in the Underworld is really difficult. I'm afraid they can't control the situation on their own. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone around asking for help.
God of Thunder: Go look for the Sky Sovereign. He is now the Grand Chief of the Cabinet. As long as he agrees to send troops …
Yang Jian: I'll go look for him.
Ye Zichen left the group with his chin in his hand. He was rather curious as to why there was no news from the Underworld's group after such a huge incident.
He scanned through the list of his closest contacts and found …
Only Idealism was also kicked out of the Underworld's staff chat group.
This news was from half a month ago, but he didn't realize it.
It was no wonder that the Underworld chat group had been so peaceful and quiet. He had been kicked out of it by someone.
Ye Zichen let out a long sigh, then opened the messages the others had sent him. As expected, they were all asking him how to deal with it.
Ding dong.
Ye Zichen's phone vibrated.
A bright red "1" appeared on his contact list.
Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens has sent you a friend request.
Ye Zichen's hand trembled, and he nearly threw the phone away.
He looked at the verification message: I have something to discuss with you.
Yes.
"Sky Sovereign."
The Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens sent him a message the moment he received the verification message.
"Great Emperor."
To be honest, Ye Zichen was rather hesitant when facing him. Although he was of the same level as the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor was widely known, while the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens was mysterious.
As the person in charge of the Underworld, he didn't care about the internal affairs of the Underworld.
Nobody knew what he was busy with, and very few people even knew who he really was.
However, he actually appeared this time, and even added Ye Zichen as a friend.
"Let's cut to the chase. I've contacted the Jade Emperor. He said that you're in charge of the Heavenly Court now, so I would like to ask you to send troops to help the Underworld. "
"Is the situation very dangerous?" Ye Zichen frowned.
"Yes. Even though I appeared the moment the seal was broken, there are still hundreds of millions of wraiths that escaped. It's impossible for the Underworld to capture all of them with just the military strength we have. Please send troops. "
"Sure," Ye Zichen replied with a smile. Ye Zichen smiled. "But I'm very curious. Just who was able to break through the seals you set up?"
The Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens fell silent.
After a long while, he finally replied, "An expert.
An expert that far surpasses me and the Jade Emperor. This kind of expert is definitely not from the Three Realms. "
If he's not from the Three Realms, then he's clearly from the Upper Three Realms.
"I've already rushed back as fast as I could, but I still couldn't catch a glimpse of him. However, I smell a familiar scent from him. It's like … a demon. "
"Them again."
Ye Zichen clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Great Emperor, no need to worry. I'll tell the Heavenly Court to send troops right away."
"Thank you so much. I'll leave everything to Sky Sovereign," the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens replied.
"No problem."
Dingdong.
Your intimacy level with the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens increased by 100. Current intimacy level: 200.
Ding dong.
Your intimacy level with the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heaven has increased. Current intimacy level: Trusted.
Ye Zichen glanced at the increased intimacy level, then clicked on the Red Packet Server.
"Everyone, the Netherworld is in trouble. We will send Perfected Lord Erlang, Yang Jian, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, and Third Prince Nezha to help with 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers!"
Yang Jian: Yes!
Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li: Understood!
Nezha: Okay, okay.
God of Thunder: Only Idealism, Sky Sovereign, what should I do?
"Someone has to guard the Heavenly Court. You should stay and guard the house."
Monkey King: I, Old Sun, want to go too.
Canopy Marshal: I, Old Pig, also want to go.
"Then all of you can go, but the Heavenly Court must have someone to guard it. Thor, you must stay home. I just talked to the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens. The ones who broke the formation were demons. They attacked the Underworld, so they might attack the Heavenly Court as well. Although you can't go out and help, your mission is more important, understand? "
God of Thunder: Understood.
God of Fortune: If you need equipment and funds, report to me.
Old Lord Taishang: If you need pills, go to the Old Lord's manor to get them.
Yue Lao: Ahem, ahem, if you need marriage, come to my Red Line Pavilion …
Old Lord Taishang: F * ck off.
The atmosphere in the group instantly changed when Ye Zichen agreed to send troops.
Ye Zichen smiled, but his gaze turned sharper. He squinted his eyes and typed on the keyboard.
