The headquarters of the Arabe.
Ye Ling sat in the command center, handling various affairs of the Demon Palace.
From the very beginning of the Demon Palace's establishment, Ye Ling had to personally attend to many matters.
Even with the assistance of his powerful divine soul, Ye Ling had not left the Arabe since destroying the Takamagahara. The Demon Palace, under Ye Ling's personal efforts, had steadily solidified its foundations.
After Ye Ling dealt with all the members of Takamagahara, spies from various countries, carrying precious information, left the Land of Yang in fear, spreading the terror of the Demon Palace to the world.
The major divine weapons had also caused earth-shattering disturbances worldwide, and the entire world was now in great turmoil.
However, this was a necessary process for establishing the Demon Palace. All Ye Ling could do was to make various major powers submit and accept reality as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Wang Liren entered the room with a stack of thick documents and placed them on Ye Ling's desk. He said respectfully, "Emperor, the list here contains all the forces willing to submit to the Demon Palace and help maintain regional stability. I have organized all the forces according to their strength and region."
"You've worked hard."
Ye Ling scanned the documents submitted by Wang Liren with his divine soul, then quickly selected a portion of the list and returned it to Wang Liren. "These forces are not qualified enough. Send them back and find a new batch."
"Yes."
Wang Liren did not find Ye Ling's action surprising and calmly put away the list of forces that were rejected.
Since Ye Ling had pacified Takamagahara, Wang Liren had been transferred from the Dragon Department to work for Ye Ling.
After all, the Demon Palace had just been established, and there were still many opposing forces around the world. The Demon Palace needed to rely on major leading forces to stabilize the regions.
Ye Ling did not want the Demon Palace to excessively influence the ecosystem of the cultivators' circle, so the selection of major leading forces was quite strict.
Wang Liren helped Ye Ling with these matters every day, and gradually became proficient. The lists he submitted were less and less rejected by Ye Ling.
For a period after the establishment of the Demon Palace, Ye Ling discovered that although Wang Liren was not very talented in cultivation, he possessed considerable talent in administration.
In the early stages of the Demon Palace's establishment, with everything needing to be done, the Demon Palace indeed needed talents like Wang Liren to assist.
As for Wang Liren, he was happy to follow Ye Ling. After Ye Ling invited him to join the Demon Palace, he eagerly packed his bags and rushed from the Dragon Department to the Land of Yang.
After organizing the documents, Wang Liren asked Ye Ling, "Emperor, when are we returning to China? After all, that is our root. Staying in Arabe like this... I feel a bit uneasy."
"Soon."
Ye Ling finished organizing the official documents on his desk and said to Wang Liren, "I still have some residual matters to deal with here in the Land of Yang. Once they are resolved, we will return to China. I have some important matters to attend to next, so you will have to put in more effort in managing the Demon Palace. All the work I have on hand is now yours."
"All, all of it?"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Wang Liren's mouth twitched, unsure how to describe his feelings.
Although he had joined the Demon Palace, all the members of the Demon Palace were now monsters capable of leveling top forces single-handedly. Wang Liren dared not speak in the Demon Palace chat group created by Ye Ling, so how could he dare to take over Ye Ling's work?
Ye Ling smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. You only need to focus on matters concerning China and the Land of Yang. Other regions will have my divine soldiers establish branches themselves. With the help of the Dragon Department and the Arabe here, your problems will not be significant."
"Is that so... then it's fine."
Hearing Ye Ling say this, Wang Liren couldn't help but feel slightly relieved.
Regardless, he dared not boss around Ye Ling's divine soldiers.
As for China and the Land of Yang... with the assistance of the two official cultivator organizations and the fact that he knew many acquaintances, he would not encounter much obstruction in carrying out his work in these places.
After handing over all his work to Wang Liren, Ye Ling stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "By the way, Qi Zhuyue has good talent too. Take her along with you when you have time."
"Under, understood..."
Wang Liren nodded, and before he could react, he saw Ye Ling had already left the room. He was immediately startled and quickly chased after him to ask, "Emperor, where are you going?"
Ye Ling: "Some personal matters."
Wang Liren was stunned. "What about the work here... the Demon Palace has just been established, and you still have many things to finalize. I don't dare to act rashly..."
Ye Ling smiled and said, "The documents I gave you already outline the action plans and specific details. Just follow them, and it won't be too difficult for you..."
With that, Ye Ling waved his hand at Wang Liren and disappeared from his spot without waiting for Wang Liren to speak.
"Emperor!!!"
Wang Liren called out and looked at the empty corridor, unsure how to describe his feelings.
Suddenly becoming part of the Demon Palace's management, he felt somewhat dazed, as if it were unreal.
Wang Liren glanced at the official documents on the desk, sighed, "Fortunately, the workload isn't too heavy now, otherwise I don't know if I'll be able to rest..."
"The Emperor is really something. He just conquered the Demon Palace and is already preparing to be a hands-off manager?"
Wang Liren muttered as he sat in Ye Ling's seat. Just as he was about to look through the documents Ye Ling had left him, he suddenly noticed a jade slip hidden within the stack of official documents.
"What is that?"
Wang Liren looked at the jade slip, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, and instinctively picked it up.
The moment Wang Liren touched the jade slip, a large amount of information regarding the Demon Palace poured out from the slip and flooded into his mind!
Since Ye Ling established the Demon Palace, although the major top forces had submitted, there were still countless large and small forces in the world, and many regions had their own local powers.
Those forces were unwilling for the Demon Palace to become the overlord and were causing trouble in various places to resist the Demon Palace.
In China and the Land of Yang alone, many areas had experienced problems that were waiting for the Demon Palace to resolve.
However, Ye Ling had been busy formulating the Demon Palace's action plans, so he had piled up those tasks.
After all, the main purpose of Ye Ling establishing the Demon Palace was to prevent the emergence of another Red Dust Pavilion or Cloud Palace. Many things needed to be strictly regulated, otherwise, if the Demon Palace went astray, all efforts would be in vain.
Compared to the overall direction of the Demon Palace, other matters were considered minor.
Now that the overall direction had been set, and Wang Liren had taken over Ye Ling's work, those piled-up tasks naturally fell to Wang Liren to handle.
"No!!!"
A scream from Wang Liren echoed from the command center of the Arabe, startling Arasaka Shoichi, who was about to report to Ye Ling.
Meanwhile, the culprit, Ye Ling, had already left the Arabe and arrived above the Dragon Department's sub-base.
The Dragon Department's sub-base was still in ruins. Although steel and cement had been erected around it, and workers were carrying out reconstruction work, Ye Ling had ordered the workers to be dispersed a few days ago, and the reconstruction of the Dragon Department's sub-base had since stalled.
At this moment, a somewhat weak Huang Hun appeared before Ye Ling and bowed respectfully, asking, "Emperor, what is your purpose in summoning me here?"
Ye Ling glanced at Huang Hun and said, "Your time is running out."
After dealing with Takamagahara, Mutou Masao, to atone for his sins, crippled his own cultivation and lived out his remaining days in Higashi.
Huang Hun also sensed that his consciousness was about to dissipate and had been traveling the world, hoping to see more scenery before his death.
After all, Huang Hun was born from resentment. With Takamagahara destroyed, he naturally could not last long.
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Huang Hun also wore a wry smile. "It seems the Emperor has also noticed that my time is indeed running out. However, Takamagahara is destroyed, and I have no reason to exist anymore. If I die, I die. I have no regrets."
Ye Ling said, "Takamagahara has not been destroyed yet."
Huang Hun was stunned. "Emperor, what do you mean?"
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and an extremely powerful pressure descended from the sky, spreading outwards.
Huang Hun felt the powerful pressure and his expression changed drastically. He exclaimed in shock, "Who is it?"
Ye Ling looked up at the sky and said, "Izanagi."
Boom!
As Ye Ling's voice fell, a sacred light descended from the sky, and Izanagi, enveloped in black energy, slowly descended from the sky.
The aura of a sage spread outwards.
A barrier rose around the Dragon Department's sub-base, locking Ye Ling and Huang Hun within.
Huang Hun looked at Izanagi descending from the sky with great shock, his body trembling violently. He stammered, "He, he is... the true ruler of Takamagahara?"
"Why is he here?"
Feeling Izanagi's pressure, Huang Hun finally realized how insignificant he truly was!
The aura of a sage emanating from Izanagi spread outwards. He looked indifferently at Ye Ling and said, "Emperor Ye Ling, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
