Chapter 44: Confrontation

On both ends of the balance of fairness.

The Demon Lord and Li Xianzhi stood opposite each other. And between the balance of fairness was the entire Tianhuo Domain.

"Is the Demon Lord trying to play a game with me?"

"Exactly." The Demon Lord nodded slowly, looking at the chaotic Tianhuo Domain.

Among them were farm women washing clothes, soldiers guarding the borders, nobles indulging in pleasure... thousands of living beings, sentimental masses, each with their own fate.

"I do not like disputes and killings. I was born in the Return to Ruins, and I came out holding the will of the masses. Seeing the chaos in the Underworld and the killing in the human world, my heart is very painful. As for the outcome of this Tianhuo Domain in the future, why not let these living beings choose for themselves!"

"Aren't you afraid?"

Li Xianzhi was somewhat curious about this black-clothed Demon Lord whose face he couldn't see clearly. It stands to reason that like this kind of new birth, he would be eager to obtain the legal system of the masses and exist forever, but the Demon Lord was willing to let these living beings make their own choices.

"Aren't you afraid that once I win, you will vanish into smoke?"

"I am originally nothingness, what does it matter if I return to nothingness? I am different from them; I was born holding justice, and I should strive for justice for the masses."

The Demon Lord spoke very generously. Even Li Xianzhi couldn't help but be moved by it.

Which of the gods in the Underworld is not a ruthless character? In order to stabilize their godhead and live forever, how many worlds have they incarnated into the material world? Some became great scholars, some became heroes, some became saviors, and some even founded sects and developed believers.

What is it for?

Of course, it is to guide the thoughts of the masses to move in a direction favorable to them.

Li Xianzhi remembered that there was such a world, and that world respected Confucianism. For hundreds of thousands of years, Confucianism was respected. Whenever anyone dared to violate the Confucian principles, countless disciples would attack one after another.

The so-called ancestral law.

To some extent, it is the law of those gods in the Underworld. Living beings in the material world must never lightly move the ancestral law.

"How do you want to bet with me?"

Li Xianzhi was somewhat curious; is it just a simple fight?

The Demon Lord didn't speak.

Only to see the Demon Lord draw his finger on the mirror image of the Tianhuo Domain in the center of the balance of fairness.

Rumble.

The entire Tianhuo Domain underwent earth-shaking changes.

Zhenshen Pass was destroyed.

The abyss ancient road was drawn into a long river, with several tails, flying toward the Central Earth world.

The old eunuch looked at the sky.

His mouth was wide open, not knowing what had happened. There was a commotion in the Zhenshen Army camp, and all the soldiers looked at everything in the sky in horror.

"The Demon Lord has returned, the Demon Lord has returned."

The most joyful was the Mountain Lord beside the Chu Huang. How many years of waiting were just for today.

The abyss ancient road, dragging the area where the Three Mountains and Four Seas were located, descended to the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty. All the believers in the material world who believed in the Demon Lord were wrapped into the Three Mountains and Four Seas.

Including the Chu Huang.

The Great Chu Imperial Dynasty was divided into two sides, north and south, with the Longpan General of Qingyang County as the boundary.

"The Demon Lord is using the material world as a chessboard to play a game of chess with me."

Li Xianzhi was not to be outdone. The Fire Mulberry Divine Tree moved slightly, countless petals fell, turning into chains of order, grabbing toward the Tianhuo Domain.

Li Hongyu, Li Qingxian, and others didn't know what had happened at all. By the time they opened their eyes again, they appeared in the Great Chu Capital.

At the same time, in the entire Tianhuo Domain, billions of living beings were directly divided into the north and south.

The south of Panlong Jiang belonged to the Demon Lord, currently ruled by the New God Society and the people of the Three Mountains and Four Seas.

And the north was leaderless, and the Nine Thousand Years Old was barely governing, deterring the scene.

"You and I have a fair confrontation between the two legal systems, see you in a hundred years." The balance of fairness tore apart, and the Underworld turned into two sides, governing the two major realms of the material world.

"What a big deal."

Li Xianzhi looked at the Underworld gods thrown back by the Demon Lord and muttered to himself.

"You can't compare to him."

Li Xianzhi didn't look at the somewhat panicked gods anymore, but sat in the center of the Underworld by himself and started his own plan.

"Who are you? We govern the Underworld, how can you, a demonic outsider, point fingers."

The first to recover was the Central Heavenly Lord, who was also the highest god of the Underworld in the Imperial Dynasty era.

He was actually the divine side of Ji, with dragon energy lingering around him, gathering all the legal systems of the Imperial Dynasty era.

Below the Central Heavenly Lord were six righteous gods.

They were the God of Rites, the War God, the Harvest God, the Wealth God, the Death God, and the Life God.

Among them, the God of Rites was the most important, because etiquette was the fundamental legal system of the Imperial Dynasty.

"It seems that you still don't recognize your form. You should feel how many people still believe in you in the human world."

It can be said that 80% of the people in the entire Tianhuo Domain have now thrown themselves into the arms of the Demon Lord. Even the Chu Huang, who represents the orthodoxy of the human world, does not care about the importance of this throne, hoping that the Demon Lord can give him longevity.

"What did I do wrong? I govern the entire Underworld, information is chaotic, laws are changing, and I dare not be slack for a day. Compared with the general imperial legal system, the legal system I govern has no starving people, no unclear laws, and no killing of innocent people? You demonic outsiders always try to use more beautiful words to bewitch the masses, just like that Demon Lord, is there really absolute fairness in this world?"

The Central Heavenly Lord looked disdainful. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the legal system under his governance; the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, had enough food and clothing, and everyone had the opportunity to practice. As long as you were excellent enough, you could break the class barrier. Is there anything wrong with this?

What is fairness? Fairness is that you have the hope of becoming a superior, not that everyone is a superior.

In the ancient times, the Fire Mulberry Dao Kingdom governed by Huo Sang Daoren was fair, right? But the Fire Mulberry Dao Kingdom was like a pool of stagnant water, living beings were confused, didn't know the number of days, didn't seek progress, that was purely a blasphemy against life.

"What you said is all right. But you forgot one thing: human hearts are moving, and this is not something that can be said clearly with right or wrong. Underworld gods, according to the Dao laws, are responsible for the transformation of information in the human world, and the alternation of godhead reincarnation is the Dao law itself. And your fault is not that you hold the godhead and don't know how to change, hindering the evolution of civilization. If it were before, many Great Powers in the heavens and worlds hadn't discovered the existence of the Underworld, your behavior would be understandable, but now the Underworld is no longer a secret. Do you think you still want to exist forever, and will many Great Powers in the human world agree?"

Li Xianzhi looked at the many gods in the Underworld with amusement.

Gods shouldn't have many desires. Their existence is to serve the evolution of the entire civilization. It's just that now they have self-consciousness and thoughts, so they don't want to be Dao puppets.

All living beings have life and death.

You Underworld gods want to be immortal, but the Dao laws will not agree.

Li Xianzhi has experienced so many events and also knows some mysteries. Before, in the multiverse, the Underworld was hidden and not known to people. I am afraid that the Dao laws deliberately hid it so as not to let living beings interfere with the development of the Underworld.

And now these gods have crossed the line, which is why there are all kinds of things here.

However, Li Xianzhi couldn't figure out what role he played in this. ===== CHAPTER 45 =====
