Chapter 416: Humans Should Be Higher Than Immortals and Gods [Requesting monthly votes]

Han Jue was unaware that Jade Emperor Zhou Yan was currently in front of Fang Liang; he was putting all his effort into cursing.

He intended to curse Jade Emperor Zhou Yan into a state of heavy injury this time.

Lest this fellow cause disaster for his Grand-disciple.

As Han Jue cursed, he kept a close eye on the Attribute Panel.

His lifespan had already plummeted by eighty billion years!

Eighty billion years—many stars didn't even have that much lifespan!

Continue!

Ninety billion years!

One hundred billion years!

One hundred and ten billion years!

One hundred and twenty billion years!

One hundred and thirty billion years!

One hundred and forty billion years!

Han Jue's heart began to bleed, and he hesitated over whether to continue.

Damn it!

Going all in!

Having sacrificed so much already, how could he give up now?

Just a little more persistence and he would succeed!

He couldn't let all his previous efforts go to waste!

Han Jue persisted in his cursing, as wisps of strange black Qi coiled around his body, appearing extremely eerie and terrifying.

Soon, his lifespan decreased by one hundred and fifty billion years.

Jade Emperor Zhou Yan was actually still holding on!

Han Jue was nearly driven to madness by anger and could only grit his teeth and continue.

When Han Jue's lifespan deduction approached one hundred and seventy billion years, he finally saw a piece of mail.

[Due to your curse, your enemy Jade Emperor Zhou Yan’s Dao Fruit has cracked, Heart Demons are causing trouble, his Dharmic powers are rioting, and he has lost his sanity.]

Han Jue immediately stopped the curse.

Nearly one hundred and seventy billion years of lifespan!

Han Jue's heart was bleeding.

It hurt too much.

As expected of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal; even with such a curse, he only lost his sanity.

It seemed that wanting to use a curse to directly kill Jade Emperor Zhou Yan was still underestimating a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

The most Han Jue could do was mess with Jade Emperor Zhou Yan's mental state.

After putting down the book of misfortune, Han Jue began to ponder deeply.

Exactly how could he kill Jade Emperor Zhou Yan?

Han Jue suddenly thought of Blood Nether River, and an idea immediately formed.

He immediately used his Divine Ability, Dark Nightmare, to send a Dream Message to Blood Nether River.

Next, he entered the dreamscape and met Blood Nether River.

This was at the peak of a mountain. Blood Nether River was still meditating when he suddenly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Han Jue, he was instantly pleasantly surprised.

He hurriedly stood up, knelt before Han Jue, and said, "Greetings, Dark Forbidden Master!"

Han Jue pretended to be the Dark Forbidden Master and said in a low voice, "I want Jade Emperor Zhou Yan dead."

Blood Nether River looked up and said without hesitation, "What do you need me to do? Just speak the word!"

He had been present when Li Daokong previously repelled Jade Emperor Zhou Yan. The reason Jade Emperor Zhou Yan retreated was clearly because he had been cursed by the Dark Forbidden Master.

After that, Blood Nether River firmly believed one thing: Jade Emperor Zhou Yan was absolutely no match for the Dark Forbidden Master!

After being humiliated by Jade Emperor Zhou Yan, Blood Nether River had been waiting for an opportunity.

The opportunity had finally come!

"Jade Emperor Zhou Yan intends to slaughter all beings, replace the Dao Ancestor's influence on the Heavenly Dao, and take sole control of the Heavenly Dao. Spread this news far and wide," Han Jue said.

His tone was calm, making it difficult to gauge his emotions.

Blood Nether River immediately said, "I will have the Darkness Cult and the Asura Clan spread this news at once!"

He didn't care at all whether what Han Jue said was true; even if it were false, he had ways to make it sound true!

"Mm."

Han Jue stared intently at Blood Nether River and stopped speaking.

Blood Nether River felt his gaze and became apprehensive, unsure of what Han Jue would say next.

A long time passed.

Just as Blood Nether River was about to reach his limit, Han Jue suddenly terminated the dreamscape.

Returning to his Xiantian Cave Abode, Han Jue felt depressed.

Why was Blood Nether River so obedient? He didn't even raise a single request.

Should he calculate his true thoughts?

Forget it.

It wasn't very meaningful; even if Blood Nether River wasn't obedient, it wouldn't affect Han Jue.

Han Jue felt that he shouldn't become addicted to spending his life.

After reaching the Grand Unity Realm, any further Breakthrough would require a vast amount of time.

He didn't want to exhaust his lifespan before it refreshed again; even using half of it was not good.

Habits were terrifying and hard to change.

Han Jue sent another Dream Message, this time choosing Lord Jingtian of the Jie School, giving him the same instructions as before.

Lord Jingtian also readily agreed, but unlike Blood Nether River, he asked about Han Jue's attitude toward the Jie School.

Han Jue gave an ambiguous answer, claiming that as long as the Jie School did not become his enemy, he would not target them.

Lord Jingtian was relieved and claimed he would definitely blacken Jade Emperor Zhou Yan's name.

Han Jue was displeased to hear this.

What do you mean 'blacken'?

This is the truth!

After sending two Dream Messages, Han Jue stopped meddling and continued to Cultivate.

In a few decades, he would go visit the Heavenly Emperor again.

Recently, the Heavenly Emperor seemed to have become indifferent, no longer causing trouble, and no one was cursing him.

It made sense; all beings thought the Heavenly Emperor had already fallen.

"Heavenly Emperor, wait a bit longer. Once I kill Jade Emperor Zhou Yan, you will be saved."

Han Jue thought silently.

Killing a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal required time, since Han Jue wasn't a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal himself… In the Hall of Miraculous Mist, a multitude of gods had gathered.

An old immortal said tremulously, "Your Majesty, Jade Emperor Zhou Yan intends to slaughter all beings and replace the Heavenly Dao. This matter has already spread throughout the heavens. The Heavenly Court cannot cooperate with him; on the contrary, we must declare war on Jade Emperor Zhou Yan!"

The Great Divine General also stepped forward and said in a heavy voice, "Exactly, Jade Emperor Zhou Yan must die!"

Li Daokong's eyes were cold as he stared intently at Fang Liang.

The great hall was filled with clamor.

Upon hearing Fang Liang say he wanted to appoint Jade Emperor Zhou Yan as a Great Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the immortals and gods were outraged.

The Heavenly Court's decline was precisely because of Jade Emperor Zhou Yan.

To cooperate with Jade Emperor Zhou Yan now—where had the Heavenly Court's backbone gone?

Fang Liang said expressionlessly, "I have heard your opinions, my ministers. From now on, Jade Emperor Zhou Yan will be an eternal enemy of the Heavenly Court. At the same time, we shall abolish Jade Emperor Zhou Yan's imperial title plaque and sever his Karma and incense connection with the Heavenly Court."

As soon as these words were spoken, the immortals and gods voiced their approval one after another.

Li Daokong smiled.

Li Xuanao clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "Severing the Karma and incense… how ruthless."

One moment he was talking about appointing him a Great Emperor, and the next he was cutting off Jade Emperor Zhou Yan's retreat.

Li Xuanao didn't know whether to say Fang Liang was a fence-sitter or someone who acted with decisive slaughter.

Regardless of what Fang Liang was actually thinking, Jade Emperor Zhou Yan could forget about ever connecting with the Heavenly Court again.

Fang Liang looked at Immortal God Ji and asked, "What is the situation overseas?"

Immortal God Ji replied, "We have already recruited one hundred thousand immortals and gods, half of whom have a cultivation above the Heavenly Immortal realm."

The Literary Immortals were shocked.

So many?

Fang Liang smiled and asked, "Can we continue the recruitment?"

"We can, but we must use the investiture of the gods list. Those Cultivators are uneasy and hope to possess the Luck of an immortal or god," Immortal God Ji nodded.

The investiture of the gods list was a restraint and a shackle for some immortals and gods, but for many more, it was a guarantee of stepping into an immortal position.

Immortals and gods were not self-proclaimed; they needed to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Regardless of race, under the Heavenly Dao, the treatment of immortals and gods was undeniably higher than that of all beings.

Because of this, immortals and gods did not dare to commit slaughter lightly, fearing they would violate the heavenly rules and invite overwhelming Karma.

Fang Liang asked, "Has the Human Race become involved overseas?"

Immortal God Ji shook his head and said, "No, the Human Race is currently undergoing internal integration."

At this moment, a Literary Immortal stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Human Race has threatened to trample the Hall of Miraculous Mist. They must be suppressed. They have shouted the slogan that 'Humans should be higher than immortals and gods' to incite the people's hearts. This is not a good omen!"

Humans should be higher than immortals and gods!

Fang Liang couldn't help but frown, and the other immortals and gods did the same.
