Chapter 460: Chapter 205 Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power_3
Black and White Impermanence and Leopard Tail managed to stay calm, yet only Bull Head showed undisguised elation, kneeling halfway to the ground and loudly addressing Shen Yuan inside the Emperor’s Carriage:
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, for reclaiming what belongs to you!”
Seated on the Mount Tai King’s throne, Shen Yuan looked slightly stunned, somewhat surprised by Bull Head’s attitude.
This Netherworld Commander, who had been the first to pledge allegiance to him, seemed to know far more than he had imagined.
Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed Shen Yuan’s mind, reminding him of Bull Head’s words when they first met at North Mang Mountain.
“Bull Head, pays respects to the Great Emperor!”
At the time, Shen Yuan merely thought Bull Head had mistaken him for the Donghua Emperor, just like the ferocious beast had, which is why he spoke that way.
But now it seemed that although both Great Emperor and Emperor could be used to address an Emperor of the Heavenly Court, calling Donghua Emperor the Great Emperor was clearly an offense.
A Netherworld Commander like Bull Head should not make such a basic mistake.
Shen Yuan’s gaze towards Bull Head slowly revealed a look of realization, and he murmured softly to himself:
“So, from the very beginning, Bull Head wasn’t addressing the Donghua Emperor but the Fengdu Emperor!”
“The me from ten thousand years ago must have had some interaction with Bull Head.”
At this thought, a strange color appeared in Shen Yuan’s eyes.
“Even after ten thousand years, Bull Head and the King of Five Senses are willing to voluntarily serve me, what exactly did I do back then?”
He was somewhat curious, but to prevent the past from becoming fixed history, Shen Yuan did not inquire further from Bull Head, merely saying softly: “Rise.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Bull Head stood up respectfully.
Shen Yuan nodded his head and continued speaking:
“I will not reside within Fengdu City for long. From now on, all matters concerning the Netherworld should be decided collectively by the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities.”
The Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities said in unison: “We will abide by Your Majesty’s decree.”
Shen Yuan’s gaze fell on Vermilion Bird and White Tiger. Although they had been appointed as deities of the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities, they were, after all, messengers from Great Xia’s Imperial Court, and thus their positions differed from the other four Netherworld Commanders.
However, Shen Yuan didn’t mind. Appointing them as deities of the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities was just to repay a karmic debt. If they were loyal to Fengdu, they could certainly maintain their seats in the pantheon. If they were to switch sides, stripping them of their pantheon seats would be but a thought away.
Shen Yuan addressed Vermilion Bird and White Tiger:
“With the matters of the Netherworld settled, Fengdu City has no intention of interfering with the affairs of the Yang World. The interaction with the Yang World shall be handled by the two of you.”
The originally anxious Vermilion Bird and White Tiger’s expressions brightened at these words.
Their purpose in coming to Fengdu City was to quell the upheaval in the Netherworld. Now that they had received a promise from the Fengdu Emperor, they had naturally completed their mission and quickly responded respectfully.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
With just a few casual words, the order between Yin and Yang was established for the future, and no ripple showed on Shen Yuan’s face.
To him, who now had complete control over the Netherworld, such matters were nothing more than trivialities.
His focus was already on a truly important goal.
Slowly rising from the Mount Tai King’s throne, the space of the entire Fengdu City formed an invisible staircase before Shen Yuan.
With one step, Shen Yuan appeared directly before the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda that reached through heaven and earth.
Pushing open the doors that had been sealed for ten thousand years, Shen Yuan entered the treasure pagoda, its kaleidoscopic layers of space unfolding before his eyes.
Once the space stabilized, Shen Yuan found himself before a massive platform.
Above the platform, a skin-and-bone giant beast lay prostrate, its presence vast as the Abyssal Sea and already reaching the Immortal Realm; its fearsome eyes were fixed intently on Shen Yuan as he entered.
Shen Yuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, unconcerned by the menacing ferocious beast in front of him, and he spoke slowly:
“Ten thousand years have passed, and I have come as promised!”
