Chapter 637: Death Heavenly God, Descending to the Underworld

Hearing Long Hao's words, Han Jue did not answer immediately.

Long Hao had indeed hit a Bottleneck. Not just him, but the other Personal Disciples' cultivation speed had slowed down abruptly after entering the Grand Unity Realm; reaching the Pseudo-Saint realm was very difficult.

The Pseudo-Saint realm was not something that could be reached simply through buried, bitter cultivation. The reason Han Jue could do it was because the System itself was the greatest Opportunity.

It would be fine to let Long Hao out; Han Jue happened to have an arrangement.

"After you go out, find a way to unify the Dragon Clan. Can you do it?"

Han Jue asked. The Dragon Clan was rising again and had already become a force in the Immortal Realm that could not be underestimated.

Long Hao was pleasantly surprised and immediately accepted the command.

When he came to make the request, he hadn't been confident, not expecting Han Jue to actually agree.

That same day, Long Hao was sent out by Han Jue.

The reason he relented was also for the sake of the Evil Heavenly Emperor.

Now that the Saints had declared the Heavenly Dao's independence, the Immortal Realm needed more Prodigies to hold up the front. Han Jue hoped that the Hidden Gate Disciples would account for a large proportion of them.

After Long Hao left, the other Disciples did not follow suit and ask to leave.

Han Jue summoned Su Qi.

Su Qi saluted respectfully. His cultivation had already reached the Perfection of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, even surpassing Dao Supreme. The Bloodline of a Chaos Demon God was not something a Chaos Physique could compare to.

"How has your cultivation been lately?" Han Jue asked.

Su Qi replied, "Very good. Thank you for your promotion, Master, allowing me to experience such top-tier Aptitude."

Han Jue asked, "Do you have any urge to go out?"

Su Qi had already mastered misfortune and would no longer bring bad luck everywhere he went like before.

While Su Qi had yet to fully rise, Han Jue wanted him to integrate into the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, even if Su Qi were to Attain the Dao in the future, he would be unable to enter the Heavenly Dao.

In this life, Su Qi had always stayed within the Dao Field and had never entered the Heavenly Dao.

Han Jue, after all, had obtained quite a bit of heavenly dao merit before he could Attain the Dao.

Hearing this, Su Qi said cautiously, "If Master does not let me go out, I will never go out."

Han Jue smiled and asked, "Then do you want to go out?"

Su Qi fell silent, not knowing how to answer.

His sins were heavy; how could he dare to go out again?

"Going out is fine as well, to seek blessings for all beings and atone for your sins," Han Jue said with a smile.

After the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage was driven away, the subsequent Heavenly Dao would be of one mind, and there wouldn't be as many schemes as before.

After all, Saints like Venerable Xuandu had already declared their break with the Guixu Divine Realm; it was impossible for an undercover agent to act to such an extent.

Su Qi hurriedly said, "I will follow Master's orders!"

Han Jue immediately waved his sleeve, bringing Su Qi Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, landing in front of the Qiankun Hall.

The gates of the Qiankun Hall opened, and the Master and Disciple walked inside.

Venerable Xuandu's gaze fell upon Su Qi, his expression strange.

This aura…

A Chaos Demon God!

Han Jue came before him and said, "The Heavenly Dao and the Guixu Divine Realm are about to become enemies. If the Heavenly Dao wants to settle down for the long term, it must support the younger generation. This is my Disciple, Su Qi. You should have heard of his past. Now that he has experienced Rebirth and luckily obtained a Chaos Demon God Bloodline, I want him to integrate into the Heavenly Dao. See how he should atone for the sins of the last Calamity."

Venerable Xuandu took a deep look at Su Qi. He did not ask where the Chaos Demon God Bloodline came from; if the current Heavenly Dao wanted to be strong, it had to rely on Han Jue.

Venerable Xuandu pondered, "He has the aura of death on him. Why not title him the Death Heavenly God to control the world's spirits? He can be sent to the Reincarnation to act as a check on Empress Houtu. The Underworld is the furthest from the Heavenly Dao, and Empress Houtu has been leaving the Heavenly Dao frequently lately. I have some suspicions."

Facing Han Jue, he was quite candid.

Han Jue said, "That works. I'll leave the arrangements to you. You can coordinate with the other Saints."

"Mhm, I will share my own Karma with your Disciple to let him integrate into the Heavenly Dao."

"Thank you."

"Fellow Daoist Han is too polite."

Han Jue looked at Su Qi and said, "You stay here and wait for this Senior to make arrangements for you."

Su Qi hurriedly bowed.

Han Jue vanished from the spot.

It was Su Qi's first time meeting Venerable Xuandu, and he was very nervous because those who established Dao Fields here were all Saints.

Venerable Xuandu showed a rare smile and said, "No need to be nervous. I will first tell you of the recent changes so you understand the situation of the Heavenly Dao."

Su Qi nodded.

…

Back within the Hundred Peaks Immortal River, a line of text appeared before Han Jue's eyes:

[Venerable Xuandu's favorability toward you has increased. Current favorability is 6.5 stars]

6.5 stars again!

He's sensible.

Han Jue's favorability toward Venerable Xuandu also increased.

Venerable Xuandu never plotted against Han Jue behind his back, had the courage to face invincible enemies, and had his own principles and pursuits. Han Jue was quite satisfied with cooperating with such a Saint.

Over the next few days, the favorability of the other Saints toward Han Jue increased one after another, presumably all because of Su Qi.

The Saints knew very well what a Chaos Demon God represented.

Although they didn't understand how Han Jue obtained the Chaos Demon God Bloodline for Su Qi, having one more Chaos Demon God in the Heavenly Dao would surely mean one more layer of protection in the future.

One year later.

Venerable Xuandu's voice resounded through the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms:

"From this day forth, Hidden Gate Disciple Su Qi is titled the Death Heavenly God. He shall govern the order of spirits and preside over the Underworld. This is the arrangement of the Saints and the Heavenly Dao. all beings may worship the Death Heavenly God."

all beings were in an uproar.

Death Heavenly God!

Another Hidden Gate Disciple!

Just how many mighty figures were hidden within the Hidden Gate?

The Underworld.

Yang Tiandong, who was processing ghost affairs, was stunned for a moment before revealing a smile, muttering, "Junior Brother Su Qi…"

He thought Su Qi's arrival was Han Jue's arrangement, sending Su Qi to protect him.

Recently, the Underworld had indeed been a bit chaotic. Some mysterious and unknown beings would occasionally attack the ghost messengers. He had also been attacked and had yet to see the opponent's true face.

That day, Su Qi descended to the Underworld, and the gods and ghost messengers of the Underworld all went to receive him.

By virtue of his Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection cultivation, Su Qi quickly won over the crowd. He met with Yang Tiandong, talking and laughing, letting the other Yama Kings realize they were in the same camp.

There were many Yama Kings in the Underworld, each with their own power, fighting openly and secretly.

Su Qi's arrival meant that Yang Tiandong was about to rise.

…

Inside the Daoist temple.

Han Jue had just begun cultivating when a notification suddenly appeared before him:

[Empress Houtu is sending you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

Han Jue fell silent.

He was on good terms with Empress Houtu, and the matter of Su Qi had indeed pressured her. He presumed Empress Houtu was here to question him.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Jue still chose to accept the Dream Message.

In the dream, the two appeared by the Yellow Springs.

Empress Houtu stared at Han Jue and said, "Su Qi's aura is not right. Has he become a Chaos Demon God?"

Han Jue said, "That's right. I accidentally obtained a Demon God's body in the Dark Forbidden Zone."

Empress Houtu said meaningfully, "To seize a Chaos Demon God's Bloodline is something even the ancient mighty ones could not do. Han Jue, who exactly are you? Could it be that you are also a Chaos Demon God?"

Han Jue said, "You found me out."

"Is the Dao Ancestor still alive? Is he supporting you from behind?" Empress Houtu's tone shifted.

Han Jue remained silent.

Empress Houtu came to a sudden realization and said, "So that's how it is. I will support Su Qi. The Six Paths of Reincarnation already belong to the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao was transformed from my Father God Pangu. I will also do my best to protect the Heavenly Dao. You don't need to worry about me defecting. My leaving the Heavenly Dao was because I heard the call of my brothers."
