Hell Emperor

Chapter 372 Ye Jie-Resistance

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the autumn of the 639th year of the Moro Calendar, Shura Jie spent 10 million Yin De and 5 million soul charms to modify the administrative options of the Golden Wheel Hall. 】

[Heaven's merit and my merit have been added to the administrative agenda. 】

Under Ye Jie's instruction, Tian Gong Wo Gong was quickly placed at the top of the administrative agenda of the Palace of Documents, and Su Miao, the new judge in the palace, was responsible for promoting it.

Tian Gong Wo Gong involves a wide range of aspects, and its advancement is far more troublesome than ordinary administrative options. What Su Miao has to do is to let the ghosts in the palace know and accept this administrative option.

However, it is easy to know, but it is undoubtedly quite troublesome to really let the ghosts in the palace accept it. Not all ghosts have the ambition to be greedy for heaven's power in their hearts. Even having such thoughts is a kind of disrespect to heaven and means that they are not in harmony with heaven. Anyone who goes against you will be punished by God!

Su Miao was not surprised by this. After agreeing to Ye Jie, she conscientiously performed her duties as a judge in the palace. Notices filled with the palace master's decision were quickly posted on notice boards throughout the Golden Wheel Palace. , the ghosts coming and going looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the contents on the notice, and their intuition told them that the Golden Wheel Palace was likely to undergo earth-shaking changes.

There are also a few fiercely opposed ghosts who refuse to accept anything that seeks heavenly power, and even threaten to destroy the entire Golden Wheel Palace. As they complain about this, the entire palace becomes a mess.

In the clerk's hall, Su Miao took a scrap of paper and reported to Ye Jie helplessly:

"The agenda is not going smoothly, and the ghosts in the palace do not accept this administrative option at all. Dongsheng Shenzhou is not favored by God because of the birth of the King of Demons in the past, and is often punished by God. The ghosts here are very hostile to God. How can you dare to covet heavenly power if you are afraid?”

Ye Jie frowned: "If Tian Gong and Wo Gong cannot be implemented, a series of subsequent administrative agendas related to Yangshou trade will have to be shelved. How long will it take for you to complete this agenda?"

Su Miao thought for a while and replied: "Changing concepts cannot be achieved in a short time. It requires the joint efforts of the human world and the underworld. If the concepts in the hearts of ghosts are changed little by little, it may take several years. , in order to advance the agenda to completion.”

Ye Jie shook his head: "If we can't wait that long, isn't there any way to force the administrative agenda?"

Su Miao said helplessly: "It's possible, but forcing the agenda forward without giving the ghosts in the palace time to accept it will cause resentment in the palace, and even ghosts may rebel in large numbers. Just like now..."

As she said that, Su Miao glanced at the door of the Wenwen Palace, and Ye Jie also looked over.

There, noisy noises continued to be heard, and ghosts who opposed Tian Gong and Wo Gong lined up in a long queue outside the Document Hall. Protests broke out one after another, saying anything to make the hall master change his mind and cancel the agenda.

"Where is the palace master? We want to see the palace master!"

"The power of Heaven is so mighty that even the Lord of Yama Hall should not covet Heavenly power..."

"The palace master must have been deceived by those shady businessmen. They are not good people. As long as we meet the palace master, we will definitely make him change his mind!"

Ye Jie let go of his senses a little and couldn't help but frown when he heard the mixed opposition from the outside world.

He thought that with Yin De and Soul Yun, it would be a matter of course to implement Tian Gong and Wo Gong. However, the reality was far beyond his expectation. It was not that easy to implement at all. Resources were only one aspect. As the Palace Master , he also had to make the ghosts in the palace accept the content of the agenda.

"You should have thought about the troubles you would encounter. Why are you looking so gloomy now that we have met?"

Seeing Ye Jie's troubled expression, Su Miao couldn't help but find it a bit funny and couldn't help teasing him.

Ye Jie sighed and couldn't make up his mind, so he had to look at Su Miao for help: "I heard that Fairy Miaorou once served as the chief clerical elder in the Netherworld Palace. I guess she is no stranger to such a thing. Yes, how to deal with it?”

Su Miao touched her chin, her arrogant eyes seemed to say that you should have asked me a long time ago:

"You don't have to come forward now. There are so many opposing ghosts outside the palace. Everyone doesn't know what year or month it will be until they say a word. Moreover, for now, their internal demands are also inconsistent. I will tell them , let them choose the leader ghost who is responsible for representing them. You only need to communicate with the leader ghost, negotiate with him, and meet his requirements, and you can continue to implement Tian Gong Wo Gong. "

Ye Jie nodded first, then shook his head: "No, as the master of the palace, of course I have to see them. I will convince them and let them understand my idea, just like I convinced you before."

Su Miao was so angry at Ye Jie's decision: "What? Didn't I tell you not to go? What are you going to do now? Did you listen to me? If you go now, not only will you not be able to convince them, but you will make them even more angry. Being impulsive and thinking that fierce opposition is effective does not help at all to resolve the situation!”

After a pause, Su Miao continued to complain: "Besides, when did you convince me? The reason why I served as a judge is to correct your mistakes and see how you failed in the end. I don't agree with your concept. Can you?" Didn’t convince me!”

Ye Jie took a deep breath: "Fairy Miaorou, I have my own judgment on this matter. Just wait here."

After saying that, Ye Jie crossed Su Miao and came to the outside of the Document Hall alone. Su Miao, who stayed there, twitched her eyes and didn't know what to say.

Seeing Ye Jie coming outside the hall, the ghosts nearby became excited and shouted one after another:

"It's the Palace Master! The Palace Master is out!"

"Palace Master, please cancel the agenda of Tiangong and Wogong, and continue to punish those who covet Tiangong. Tiangong is not something you can covet!"

"That is to say, coveting Tiangong is going against the will of heaven. This is a taboo. The only outcome is death. Don't do it!"

"It's all the fault of those Yin merchants. Everything was fine before they came. Now that they are here, they not only covet Tiangong, but also want to trade in Yangshou. This is really disrespectful to God. All Yin merchants must be driven out of the palace!"

"You can't say that. Yin merchants brought a lot of good things here. The new magic weapon I have was bought from them. In my opinion, it's enough to abolish Tiangong and Wogong. There's no need to drive them away. They are here to do business."

Surrounded by hundreds of ghosts, hearing the ghosts' words, even Ye Jie felt a little dizzy. He opened his mouth, but didn't know which ghost's question to answer first. Then he remembered Su Miao's previous solution.

Seeing the ghosts chattering again, Ye Jie no longer suppressed the divine dragon energy in his body, and the rich dragon essence emanated from his body. The majestic power immediately shocked the nearby ghosts. Seeing that the hall master was about to speak, the ghosts immediately shut up, and the scene fell into silence. Even a needle falling on the ground could be heard, but their eyes were always on Ye Jie.

Finally quiet, Ye Jie slowly said: "Everyone, the promotion of Tiangong Wogong and even the subsequent Yangshou trade are all for the benefit of all living beings in the world. Why do you oppose this? Even at the cost of gathering together to obstruct the advancement of the agenda?"

The ghosts all disagreed with this, and their voices came out one after another.

"Palace Master, how can you say that you are benefiting the sentient beings in the world by coveting the merits of heaven?"

"Those who covet the merits of heaven will inevitably suffer punishment from heaven, and it is a pleasure to have their souls scattered. Can this be considered as benefiting sentient beings?"

"The lives of sentient beings are granted by heaven. It is really a rebellious act to regard them as your own, or even as a resource transaction. How can we continue to promote it?"

Listening to the words of the ghosts, Ye Jie replied slowly: "Practice is to steal the fortune of heaven and earth and achieve oneself. If all sentient beings are submissive, why do they need to practice? Just accept everything arranged by heaven. Why do you need to stay in the Yama Palace to earn good deeds and create an advantage for the next life? Just go and reincarnate now. Anyway, everything arranged by heaven must be accepted completely, right?"

Ye Jie's words made the ghosts look at each other and speechless.

Just as Ye Jie said, the reason why they gathered in the Golden Wheel Hall was to work in the hall, gain more merits, and be reborn into a good family in the next life. If they completely obeyed the way of heaven and accepted the arrangement of fate, why do they need to do all this now? Wouldn't it be better to just go and reincarnate?

"It's different... We are just fighting for a better life for ourselves, how can we compare it with greed for heaven's merit? Only greed for heaven's merit is not allowed!"

"That's right, even if you don't accept it, it doesn't mean you have to be greedy for heaven's merit. What's wrong with just fighting for yourself?"

As he was talking, Ye Jie caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. The person was petite and had a bright red bead on her head. It was Shan Yao, the ghost messenger he appointed. Among the ghosts who opposed, she was undoubtedly the one who opposed the most.

Seeing that he couldn't convince the ghosts from this aspect, Ye Jie thought about it, then changed the aspect and said:

"Are you worried that after implementing these administrative agendas, the human world will change, or even be punished by God? Don't worry, even if there is a punishment from God, I will bear it all by myself, and it has nothing to do with you."

The ghosts were still afraid and kept talking:

"How can the eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned? When the heavenly soldiers come, who can escape?"

"We are all ghosts of the Golden Wheel Palace. If something really happens, where can we run to?"

"Even if we want to get away, I'm afraid we don't have a chance. The human world has undergone drastic changes. If we reincarnate now, we don't know when our life span will end."

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Ye Jie was quite helpless. No matter what he said, the ghosts could find reasons to refute it. They were unwilling to accept it at all and could not understand him at all. How could he convince everyone?

On the side, Shan Yao stared at Ye Jie and spoke slowly: "Palace Master, the reason why we don't agree with this is not only because of the desire for heavenly merit, but more importantly, all living beings in the world will suffer because of it, and even be treated inhumanely because of their life span!"

Ye Jie raised his eyebrows: "Why do you think so?"

Shan Yao puffed his lips and spoke without thinking: "Of course it's obvious. In the small village where I lived before, no matter who had any treasure, it would be robbed by the village bullies. If the life span trade is really promoted, people's life span will be robbed by stronger people!"

Ye Jie nodded, and understood Shan Yao's concerns , and then said: "The trade of life span must be agreed by both parties before it can be carried out. There is no way it can be robbed by others."

Shan Yao didn't think so at all, and shook his head like a rattle: "That's what I said, but what if the robbers use the lives of their relatives as a threat to force the weak to hand over their life span? Can the consent in this case be considered voluntary on both sides?"

Ye Jie was stunned, and after thinking carefully, there is indeed such a possibility: "In theory... it is indeed possible."

On the side, the ghosts heard what he said, and their voices became louder:

"Ghost Shan Yao is right. At that time, the world will be in chaos. Of course, we can't agree to such a thing."

"The palace master must have been deceived by those shady businessmen. Otherwise, how could he agree to such a thing that subverts the order of the world?"

The chatter of the ghosts came to his ears. At this moment, Ye Jie couldn't help but miss the empty Jinlun Palace in the past. If there were only a few ghosts in the Yama Palace, no matter what administrative option was implemented, it would be able to maintain At its most efficient, there will be no objection from other ghosts at all.

However, as the number of ghosts in the temple increases, various voices emerge one after another. Even if it is the same thing, when the number of ghosts in the temple increases, there will be dozens of different opinions. In this case , if you want to continue to implement the administrative option, it is not so smooth.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Ye Jie slowly spoke: "Everyone will die. It is a serious crime to force people to trade their lives like this. Even if those thieves can be arrogant in the world, they will not be arrogant for long. When they die and enter the Golden Wheel Palace, they will still be They will be severely punished and cannot escape.”

Yam Yao pursed his lips and said in disbelief: "But... what if those thieves robbed many, many Yangshou? So many that they could live for tens of thousands of years, or even longer. It's hard to say whether the Golden Wheel Palace will still be there by then. , and who will punish them?”

Ye Jie pondered for a moment, then took out the seven-sided stitched page, browsed through it, and soon found the answer he wanted, and said:

"In this case, the next step is to implement the administrative option of calamity followed by longevity. Even if they have a lot of life, they cannot escape the calamity they are destined to have."

On the seven-sided stitched page, the neat text presents another administrative option:

[Tribulation and longevity: Unlock the system of impending death and introduce the calamity and longevity system. After the lifespan of all living beings in the area under the jurisdiction of Yama Palace exceeds their own set lifespan, the probability of encountering a murderous calamity every year will be significantly increased. The higher the lifespan of the living being, The killings and calamities become more and more severe and will not end until death. Unlock the 20 million Yin virtues and 10 million soul charms required. 】

With longevity along with tribulations, no matter how much longevity people have, they will not be able to survive the tribulations of killing one after another, nor will they be able to live until the end of their yang life, which is enough to prevent anyone from escaping punishment by relying on longevity.

However, Yam Yao was not satisfied with Ye Jie's decision, and neither were the other ghosts.

Seeing that he could not convince everyone, Ye Jie sighed, said no more, waved his hand, and returned to the Document Hall.
