Chapter 782

When Li Yi walked into the Yongchang Hall, he immediately felt an infinite amount of power; this was the place where the incense beliefs of all the people in the world gathered. In the eyes of mortals, this was just an ordinary palace, but in the eyes of cultivators, it was blooming with the light of faith everywhere.

All kinds of incredible visions appeared within the incense, reflecting this place as if it were a heavenly paradise on earth, as if coming here meant that everything in the world was within reach.

And under the nourishment of such massive incense, every floor tile of this palace seemed to be glowing.

"An emperor of a dynasty, enjoying the incense offerings of everyone in the world, plus the immortal cultivation method—what kind of level must this strength reach?" Li Yi was secretly shocked in his heart.

Ever since the world broke the mountains and destroyed the temples, and the gods, ghosts, and monsters were unified, his father, the Shenwu Emperor, had embarked on an unprecedented path; as long as he was in this world, he was almost an invincible existence.

"Greetings, Taiyi True Person." A dignified and virtuous woman appeared before Li Yi's eyes at this moment; she was wearing a magnificent palace gown, and several snow-white tails were swaying behind her.

"Fox woman." Li Yi's gaze shifted slightly; he knew this woman, she was one of the concubines of his father, the Shenwu Emperor.

As an Earthling who had crossed over, his father was also somewhat unconventional and liked exotic things.

However, Li Yi didn't say anything; after all, with his father's current status, it was impossible to be bound by tradition, and as an emperor, taking concubines and appointing an empress was often not out of his own will, but for the stability of the dynasty.

Li Yi returned the bow out of etiquette.

"Since the True Person has returned, come to the inner hall to gather." At this moment, the voice of the Shenwu Emperor suddenly sounded, echoing throughout the entire hall.

Concubine De smiled and gestured; she did not go to the inner hall, but remained in the front hall, ordering Wang Ning of the Golden-Eyed Guards that the Yongchang Hall was to be under martial law tonight, and no one was allowed to approach.

Li Yi strode toward the inner hall at this moment.

Very quickly.

He saw his father, the current Shenwu Emperor, currently wearing casual clothes, sitting at a large table, smiling as he poured himself a glass of wine, while the table was already filled with delicacies.

"Xiao Yi, come, have a drink with me. You haven't been back for a long time; I thought something had happened to you outside. Fortunately, those immortal maidens said that their lives were connected to yours, and if something happened to you, they would also die, otherwise I really might not have been able to stay in this world."

Li Jiye cast aside the airs of the Shenwu Emperor at this moment and returned to the role of a normal father.

"Dad, you have it comfortable; being an emperor in this world, everything is going your way. I've had it miserable, running around everywhere, facing danger at every turn." Li Yi couldn't help but complain.

Li Jiye sighed with both hands and said with emotion: "I had no choice, trapped in this world and unable to get out. But I haven't been idle. Ever since the last time we broke the mountains and destroyed the temples, plus having several immortal maidens sitting in town, the world was quickly unified. And I have been sharpening my weapons and horses, expanding the Golden-Eyed Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, while tightening training, I have also been widely implementing benevolent governance internally, reducing taxes, and increasing the population. Externally, I have been fighting in the south and north, expanding the territory, and I have to trouble those immortal maidens from time to time to change the four seasons, move mountains and fill the seas, and build bridges and pave roads—being an emperor isn't easy either."

"However, the effect is still very significant; now I have a sufficiently powerful army of cultivators, and they are invincible and unstoppable."

Speaking of this, he was still quite proud.

After all, throughout history, even on Earth, there was no one else who could be an emperor to the extent he had reached.

"I have seen the strength of the Golden-Eyed Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards; although they are not bad, they are only okay in this world of Incense-Becoming-God. Once they return to Earth, without the blessing of incense, I fear they will be blown up by the enemy," Li Yi said.

Li Jiye said: "I have thought about this problem. If we use the cross-dimensional machine to open the cross-dimensional gate and maintain it for a long time, the incense power will not be cut off, so there is still room for operation."

Li Yi said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. I have been running around outside this time and successfully rescued Mom."

"What?" Li Jiye stood up in shock immediately upon hearing this news, his massive aura somewhat out of control, shaking the entire palace.

Fortunately, the Yongchang Hall had received the blessing of incense power, otherwise, it would have already collapsed by now.

"Xiao Yi, are you telling the truth or not? You're not lying to me, are you? How is this possible? So much time has passed, and you actually really rescued your Mom?"

Li Jiye's palms trembled slightly; he was both excited and incredulous.

Li Yi said: "Fortunately, there is an incredible existence in that world that can traverse time and change the past and future. But these are not important anymore. Now Mom's soul is very fragile, so I rushed to this world, wanting to use the incense power to nourish Mom's soul, and then reshape her body so she can truly come back to life."

As he spoke, he released the little black cat from the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet.

The black cat landed on the table and immediately looked around curiously.

"This is..." Li Jiye was stunned for a moment looking at this black cat, but soon realized that an evolver's soul was stored inside this ordinary black cat's body.

Although the soul was not strong enough, and even very weak, it gave him a feeling of intimacy and familiarity.

"Xiao Yu, it's me, Jiye," Li Jiye shouted excitedly.

Zheng Xiuyu was the name of Li Yi's mother, but the only person who would call her Xiao Yu was her husband, Li Jiye. Hearing this name, the little black cat immediately bristled, looking at Li Jiye in extreme shock.

It was just that many years had passed, and Li Jiye was borrowing a corpse to return to life; let alone Zheng Xiuyu, even Li Yi almost didn't recognize him. And for Zheng Xiuyu, she had crossed over once, and just a moment ago she was being hunted by a fierce ghost with her husband and was fleeing for her life.

The next moment she was rescued, had to possess a cat, and then met a son who looked like he was ten-plus years older, and a husband who was completely like a stranger—this series of changes made her unable to accept it at all for a moment.

"Dad, don't say so much for now, hurry up and ordain her, let Mom's soul enjoy the incense, and we can talk about anything else slowly later." Li Yi was very calm; now was not the time for reminiscing.

As long as she could survive, everything else was easy to talk about.

"Right, Xiao Yi, you're right."

Li Jiye came back to his senses and immediately calmed down. He immediately restored his identity as the Shenwu Emperor and shouted at this moment: "Pass on my imperial decree, ordain..."

Speaking of this, he paused.

Looking at the black cat before him, Li Jiye felt his head heating up for a moment.

What was appropriate to ordain her as?

Ordain her as Empress? But his wife was currently a black cat; this image didn't fit. Being ridiculed by the people of the world was a small matter, but the main thing was that it was also difficult to gather incense, which was not conducive to becoming a god through incense in the future.

Ordain her as a minor god—wouldn't he be beaten to death when his wife's strength recovered in the future?

Immediately, he looked at Li Yi with eyes seeking help.

This matter was too big; his son had to take the blame.

Seeing this, Li Yi could only say: "Dad, ordain her as the black cat Xiao Yu for now. When Mom's soul grows stronger and her body recovers, then ordain her as Empress or something. Things have to be done step by step."

"Right, well said." Li Jiye immediately became righteous, then looked at the black cat: Xiao Yu, this is what my son said, don't settle scores with me later.

"Ordain the black cat Xiao Yu as the Great General for Suppressing Rats of the Imperial Palace, with a rank of from the third grade."

He immediately made up a miscellaneous general title and ordained her.

Although it was made up on the spot, he, the Shenwu Emperor, had words that carried the mandate of heaven, and his words were law. As long as he said this sentence, it would be recognized, and there was no need to wait for the imperial decree to be written out.

With Li Jiye's voice falling.

The ordination took effect.

The black cat immediately had the status of General for Suppressing Rats, and with this status, a stream of incense power from heaven and earth immediately surged toward this black cat.

And with the influx of incense power.

Zheng Xiuyu's soul, possessing the black cat, was rapidly being nourished, immediately shaking off the previous weakness, and at the same time quickly growing.

This was the unreasonable part of incense power.

As long as your soul was not dead, even if you only had one breath left, with the incense power surging in, you could ascend to heaven in one step and become a god directly.

Although the incense power obtained by the status of General for Suppressing Rats was not enough, for an evolver in the Soul Realm, it was enough to use for now.

Only a moment had passed.

Light immediately bloomed on the black cat's body, and then a woman's soul accompanied by incense power directly emerged.

"It's done." Seeing his wife's soul, Li Jiye was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Seeing his mother's appearance, Li Yi was also dazed for a moment.

How many years had passed already?

He hadn't expected that the family would actually be reunited again in such a special way.

For a moment, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
