Ming Yue listened to the discussions between the Supreme Heavenly Venerate and the numerous Immortals, her mind becoming increasingly muddled, and everything before her eyes seemed to grow hazy. "Ming Yue, prepare yourself, for you will soon be wed to Bei Yutian." In her sea of consciousness, the voice of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate seemed to resound again. Ming Yue nodded slightly but felt something was amiss. She struggled to utilize her Primordial Spirit, trying to think clearly about what exactly felt wrong, yet her Primordial Spirit seemed soft and powerless. She barely managed to think, "Am I truly going to marry Bei Yutian?" "Marrying Zhou Bai was for the revival of Heaven and the human race, but in the end... this Zhou Bai lad doesn't seem too bad. I don't dislike him." "But to marry Bei Yutian, whom I've only met once... for the purpose of reproducing a new generation of humans..." "Why does it have to be me?" Images of Bei Yutian's likeness surged in her mind, accompanied by a hint of unwillingness and aversion rising in Ming Yue's heart. But just as she was about to say something, the voice of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate echoed again in her sea of consciousness. "Come now, Ming Yue." Ming Yue felt as if her body was lightly pushed by someone, and she started to drift towards the sky. At the same time, the whispers of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate continually reverberated within her sea of consciousness. "Do not let your mind wander, Bei Yutian is also a remarkable figure, with cultivation prowess certainly not inferior to Zhou Bai..." "After becoming a deity, he can completely eclipse Zhou Bai; marrying him is definitely advantageous for you..." "Moreover, he genuinely likes you, and in time you will be passionately entwined with each other, far superior to that traitor Zhou Bai..." Various voices continually echoed in Ming Yue's sea of consciousness, gradually dissipating all her initial disgust and unwillingness, ultimately guiding her to prepare for the nuptials as directed by those voices. As the Immortals were busily preparing the wedding, the Heavenly Monarchs of the Four Departments gathered at Xiang Tiandi's small courtyard. Besides Xiang Tiandi from the Thunder Department and Marshal Jiu Xiao, Heavenly Monarch Si Yi, Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch, and Du Xing Heavenly Monarch from the Plague Department also arrived. Then, Heavenly Monarch Hao Ran and Heavenly Monarch Ming Xing from the Heaven Department arrived. Under the gaze of the seven True God-level Heavenly Monarchs, Zhou Bai casually rested his chin on his hand and curiously asked, "Is the Heavenly Monarch from the Battle Department not coming?" Heavenly Monarch Si Yi coldly stared at Zhou Bai, "You'd better worry about yourself. Today, if you don't confess all you know, there will be no easy resolution." Xiang Tiandi communicated telepathically, "This Zhou Bai... is most likely just a clone, which is why he dares to act so recklessly and meet us alone." Heavenly Monarch Si Yi responded, "Clone or real body, we cannot let him escape." Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch communicated telepathically, "Then we'd better be careful in case he self-destructs the clone. No matter what sect or school a clone comes from, as long as it possesses intelligence, it inevitably retains memory. As long as we can capture it, even if it's just a clone, I can find a way to extract its memory." Faced with Heavenly Monarch Si Yi's threat, Zhou Bai simply smiled without saying anything. At this moment, Zhou Bai's laziness value: 21.7 million Just then, amidst the spatial distortions, a figure emerged from the Luotian Realm. The newcomer had white hair, a goatee chin, and wore an ordinary dark purple Taoist robe, appearing just like a regular old man, an oily smile on his face as he looked at Zhou Bai and grinned, "So this is the Zhou Bai? I think simply sending him to me so I can extract all his souls would reveal everything." In the Zuo Family's treasure vault, Zhou Bai's true body transmitted what he saw through his Primordial Spirit to the Wolf Bull Ape before him, asking, "Who is this person? How can there be someone so sleazy among the True Gods?" Heavenly Monarch Beidou quickly answered, "This is Zi Wei Heavenly Monarch of my Battle Department. The original Zi Wei Heavenly Monarch was a Spiritual Person who became a deity nearly ten thousand years ago, most adept at arcane techniques like calculating celestial phenomena and Artifact Refining, a grandmaster of Artifact Refining rare in Heaven. But now controlling Zi Wei Heavenly Monarch's Divine Body is Xiang Liu, who has inherited little of the celestial calculations' capabilities and has been busy with restoring Immortal Artifacts over the years." "This guy has an eccentric personality and terrible temper, even after becoming a True God, he often kills people directly. Among the Battle Department, he has the fewest subordinates and the weakest influence." Beside him, True Monarch Deng and Liu He True Monarch looked on with complex expressions as Heavenly Monarch Beidou spilled the beans on his fellow colleagues like dumping beans from a bamboo tube, both remaining silent. Heavenly Monarch Beidou watched their demeanor and couldn't help but communicate with the demon's bloodline power, "What are you doing? We need to endure the humiliation and bear the burden to appease this little demon star so we can find an opportunity to deal with him later. Have you two become True Gods for so long that you really think you'll always be on top? Forgotten how we demons rose to power? As demons, we must remember our roots; adapting to our environment is our greatest skill." True Monarch Deng couldn't help but respond, "But by selling out the intelligence of other people ... what if he uses it to target other comrades?" Heavenly Monarch Beidou replied, "Target them if he wants. Do you think with this little demon's power, if he really wants to go after other Heavenly Monarchs, knowing the intelligence makes a difference? I see that in Heaven, besides the Heavenly Venerate and God Emperor, there's hardly anyone who can contain him." Just then, Zhou Bai's sneering voice sounded, and he looked at True Monarch Deng and Liu He True Monarch and said, "Your attitude to this job is a bit problematic, thinking of slacking? Is saving the world something you can slack through?" Before the Bull and Ape could respond, Zhou Bai, with a single thought, directly infused two doses of pollution into True Monarch Deng and Liu He True Monarch. The Bull and Ape screamed miserably and rolled on the ground back and forth, begging for mercy while rolling. Heavenly Monarch Beidou turned his wolf head away without looking more, secretly thinking, "I already saw this little demon isn't just a madman, but also ruthless. I wasn't wrong." Watching the two demons lying on the ground screaming, Christina looked a bit conflicted, "Zhou Bai, isn't this a bit too harsh?" Newest update provıded by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁 Zhou Bai said, "These three demons have gone through human-demon wars, battles between the righteous and the wicked, and heavenly distortion. What haven't they done? Don't mistake them for naive and innocent beings. It takes harshness to keep them in check." Zhou Bai looked at the begging two demons and said, "Remember, the next time I ask questions, you need to rush to answer them. If anyone doesn't respond, I'll give them a little gift. If anyone mutates, I'll take the blood essence to refine and strengthen my armor." Zhou Bai's brutality was fitting for dealing with these three demons of cruel nature, as cruel as they were to enemies, they also feared being treated this way. Upon hearing Zhou Bai's words, Heavenly Monarch Deng immediately prostrated himself on the ground, enduring the pain, and nervously flattered, "Little slave understands, whatever the Lord orders in the future, little slave will do anything, even climb mountains of blades or dive into seas of fire." Just then, beside him, the corpse of Qing Yun suddenly twitched and slowly rose again.
