Chapter 144: Tongtian Suppresses the Falling Star Department

Moreover, if one feels no attachment, or wishes to alter one's roots, talent, or potential, one can continuously accumulate merit.

The more merit one gathers, the richer one's blessings and fortune will be after reincarnation.

One's roots and potential will also receive corresponding enhancement.

Once this policy was announced, virtually no living being could resist.

It not only ensures that one's close relatives and friends will have no worries of future trouble thereafter.

It can also allow oneself, and even those whose roots and potential have reached the pinnacle, close relatives and friends who have no hope of attaining the Great Dao.

They can also gain the chance to ascend a higher path again!

As long as one's intellect is intact, the chance of betraying the Star Court is virtually zero!

Even if one wishes to betray, one must weigh the consequences.

The fate of oneself and one's close ones after death, when subjected to reckoning, would be utterly tragic!

"I obey your command!"

Yuan Feng and the others naturally understand the endless benefits this policy brings.

It can be said that this matter is almost the most beneficial to the Star Court among all current schemes!

If even a slight rumor were to be leaked.

Within countless ages, the myriad souls within Honghuang Tian Di would go mad to pledge allegiance to the Star Court!

To exchange that for a chance to ascend a higher path!

"Investigate this matter covertly for now; do not make a sound."

"After the Earth opens the cycle of reincarnation and establishes the Nine Netherworld, we will match the vacant positions, and, based on contribution and strength, assign volunteers their posts and ranks."

Having said that, Diti, as Yuan Feng and the others bowed and saw him off, tore the spacetime barrier and opened a temporal tunnel to the Demon Realm.

And after Diti departed.

Yuan Feng handed the seal of the Falling Star Department's head to Tongtian.

Since the Falling Star Department is a violent organization composed primarily of the Phoenix clan, myriad primordial races, and a hundred innate star gods as its wings.

From top to bottom, it upholds the rule that the strong are supreme!

The transfer of authority could be described as extremely simple.

As long as Tongtian holds the head's seal of the Falling Star Department.

And can, with overwhelming strength, subdue the many supreme beings within the department who have reached the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal level.

Basically, no problem will arise.

After completing the handover of the department's authority, Yuan Feng immediately reverted to his true form, Great Sun Golden Phoenix, and flew toward the lower realm!

After Yuan Feng's departure, Tongtian proceeded to the Falling Star Department.

Due to the earlier antagonism between the Three Purities and Diti.

The instant Tongtian stepped into the department.

Numerous innate star gods, Star Court divine soldiers, and Phoenix clan members all cast cold gazes at him.

However, since Tongtian could step onto the Purple Tenuity Imperial Star.

He must have received Diti and others' approval.

The stationed Kaiyang Star God Wu Qu did not immediately act to drive him away.

Instead, he slowly approached Tongtian and, in a detached tone, admonished him.

"This place is a crucial site of the Star Court; idle outsiders are not entertained."

"If you wish to issue a mission, please go to the Star Treasure Hall!"

"If you intend to cause trouble, I am ready to accompany you at any time!"

Having said that, Wu Qu's aura pressed down on heaven and earth, displaying the full extent of an early-stage Mixed Origin Golden Immortal's cultivation before Tongtian.

"I am personally appointed by His Majesty the Star Emperor, the new head of the Falling Star Department, Tongtian."

Regarding Wu Qu's pressure, there was no ripple in Tongtian's eyes.

He came to assume the department and fulfill the task assigned by Diti.

He did not come to show off, nor to play the trick of a pig swallowing a tiger.

He directly drew out the seal of the Falling Star Department's head!

His aura burst forth instantly!

The pressure of a mid-stage Mixed Origin Golden Immortal at its limit!

A peerless, ruthless sword intent that tears heaven and earth!

Like an abyssal prison, an exterminating scourge that slaughters all living beings!

In an instant, it enveloped the entire Falling Star Department, causing all beings below Great Luo within to instantly lose self-awareness and collapse to the ground!

Beings above Great Luo could still remain conscious.

But they too were overwhelmed by Tongtian's terrifying aura and fell to the ground.

They had absolutely no capacity to resist!

However, Tongtian's primary purpose was deterrence.

After overwhelming everyone inside the department with his momentum.

He then withdrew his aura and calmly proclaimed his authority.

"Before Lady Yuan Feng returns, this place is under my command."

"Do any of you have objections?"

There is proof of identity, Diti's decree.

And there is overwhelming, domineering strength.

Within the Falling Star Office, the many innate Star Gods, members of the Phoenix clan, and Star Court divine troops naturally would not harbor any intention of defiance.

Immediately they all knelt on the ground, reverently shouting!

"We pay our respects to the Lord of the Tongtian Office!"

Having perfectly subjugated the members of the Falling Star Office, Tongtian said no needless words and directly relayed Diti's command to its upper echelons.

With the cooperation of the Hidden Star Hall, the Falling Star Office immediately began to operate at high speed.

At the same time, it spread various versions of rumors among the myriad tribes of the primordial wilderness.

Hundreds of top‑potential, strongest beings of the myriad tribes, willing to gamble a way out for their race, were also arranged by the Hidden Star Hall.

They gradually and silently gathered toward the location of the Wuzhuang Observatory!

Waiting for the optimal moment, they vowed to trade their own lives for a promise that would grant their people and descendants a lifetime of wealth and honor!

…

Time flies swiftly, and hidden currents stir in heaven and earth.

Over several centuries, the entire saga of the clash between Dark Sha and Hongjun has already spread throughout the myriad tribes of the primordial wilderness, across the four seas and eight wildernesses!

The various rumor versions also gradually sowed seeds of doubt and vigilance in people's hearts!

Yet on the surface, still no one has struck against the Supreme Ones.

After all, when Dark Sha was tinged with Hongmeng purple aura, Hongjun, in the time it takes a single incense stick to burn, had already reached the summit of Mount Sumeru.

And it was a second before the Hongmeng purple aura was seized.

He intervened just in time to protect Jieyin and Zhunti!

If there were no hidden tricks involved.

Probably told the fool, who wouldn't believe a single iota!

Thus, even though information about the whereabouts of the Supreme Ones is frequently bought and sold,

still no living being has taken the initiative to raid any of the Supreme Ones; all remain in a state of quiet observation.

Even the cannon fodder dispatched by the Falling Star Office,

is hindered by the fact that the Wuzhuang Observatory is constantly under the protection of the Earth Scroll, leaving no way to act.

It can only lie in wait outside the Wuzhuang Observatory, quietly awaiting the arrival of the right moment.

In this regard, Diti also lies in wait within the void.

Preparing to wait another few hundred years.

If Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun truly have no intention of going out,

then he will dispatch an external avatar to personally pull them out, setting an example for the myriad beings!

As for Hongjun, who takes the final step,

within these several hundred years, he has already begun to initially achieve the union of body with the Dao.

Because all myriad beings have become wary of him,

all cause and effect have not been completely severed.

Rendering him fundamentally unable to be wholly independent of heaven and earth.

Even if he temporarily suppresses the primal self‑awareness of the Heavenly Dao,

the advancement he gains is very limited.

He has only reached the realm of the Saint's Seventh Heaven!

There remains a considerable gap to the Saint's Ninth Heaven, the half‑step Mixed Primordial Heavenly Dao realm he envisioned.

"Damn Luo Hou, why are you spouting nonsense for no reason!"

"You've made my schemes span countless years, yet I haven't even attained half a step of the Mixed Primordial Heavenly Dao realm!"

"Now it seems I can only go find Yang Mei and Shichen, so that at the final decisive battle I can firmly suppress Diti and the others, securing ultimate victory!"
