Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

An Ning looked up at Jun Wuxie with her beautiful face, her eyes misty, tears streaking down her cheeks and dripping down.

"Alright, don't cry."

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but feel pity.

An Ning was originally a woman of wisdom and strength, a mastermind-level figure. She was excellent and very proud.

But since she met him, all her confidence and pride had been collapsing.

Her current state of mind could be said to be entirely because of him.

"Can An Ning lean on Jun Shen's shoulder for a while?"

Her eyes were brimming with tears, but there was a starlight-like brilliance shining within, filled with anticipation.

In this situation, facing such a pitiful, teary-eyed An Ning, Jun Wuxie naturally couldn't refuse her request.

"Come on."

Jun Wuxie opened his arms. An Ning looked at him like this and couldn't help but smile through her tears. Her delicate body leaned forward, nestling her soft form against his broad and strong chest, and she reached out to wrap her arms around his waist.

"Jun Shen's heartbeat is so powerful~"

An Ning murmured, then looked up at him, her eyes filled with infatuation.

Jun Wuxie paused, then couldn't help but smile.

He gently stroked An Ning's smooth black hair, wiping away the tears on her face, and said, "Yes, just like this, be casual, don't be so cautious in front of me. You understand my nature and know what kind of person I am."

"I just… I just feel that the distance between myself and Jun Shen is getting farther and farther. An Ning knows that she can't possibly keep up with Jun Shen's pace. Throughout history, few people can compare with Jun Shen. But I'm afraid, afraid that one day I won't even have the right to look up to you…"

Speaking of this, An Ning's eyes darkened again. This had become her biggest worry.

"Do you plan to leave the dynasty I create in the future and grow independently?"

"Ah? No, how could An Ning leave?"

She hurriedly explained, then revealed a puzzled look, not understanding why he would say that.

"I'm creating a dynasty, so the dynasty is my foundation in this world, my base camp. No matter where I go to train in the future, the dynasty is my home in the Upper Realm. As the Empress of the dynasty, you are the person by my side, so why do you need to look up to me? What's there to talk about having or not having the right?"

"After the dynasty is established, Yan Ning will also stay in the dynasty. In the future, my old friends in the Upper Realm, once we reunite, I will probably let them come to the dynasty. At that time, you will all be the closest people to me. What are you worried about, what are you afraid of? In the Lower Realm, my sect seniors' realm is already inferior to mine, but they are still my elders, and I still respect them. Some relationships, some people or things, will not change because my strength increases. Sometimes it doesn't matter what my identity is."

"Really? If An Ning gets along with Jun Shen as before, Jun Shen really won't think An Ning is being presumptuous and won't be angry?"

She was still a little uneasy, afraid that he would be angry.

"Of course, I'll really be angry if you continue like this."

Jun Wuxie said, releasing her and walking to the stone table in the center of the pavilion to sit down, and said, "How is the matter of formulating laws progressing?"

"During these days, after everyone's discussions and debates, the new laws and regulations have been roughly completed, waiting for Jun Shen to review them."

An Ning said, taking out a jade slip from her sleeve, only half the size of a palm, and handing it to Jun Wuxie.

Jun Wuxie took it, poured energy into it, and released the information recorded in the jade slip.

The jade slip glowed, projecting lines of text into the air.

Thousands of laws and regulations were arranged in rows in the void.

Jun Wuxie's eyes swept across, and his powerful divine sense allowed his reading and memory speed and thinking speed to be billions of times faster.

In an instant, he read all the laws and regulations.

"An Ning, what are your own views on these laws and regulations? Are you satisfied?"

Jun Wuxie did not express his views after reading them, but asked An Ning instead.

"Jun Shen, An Ning is satisfied with most of them. Some laws are quite controversial and are the most discussed by everyone, but they involve too much, and there are always many concerns. We don't know how to formulate them in the best way. Also, for a small number of laws and regulations, we also borrowed from previous laws, and some of them have been continued…"

"Is this law on favoritism and bending the law the result of your continuation or discussion? A minimum of ten years, a maximum of life imprisonment? I told you before that those who know the law and break the law should be punished more severely."

"An Ning dares not forget. An Ning also disagrees with this article. I didn't object at the time, just to let you review it. This is the list of personnel who discussed and formulated this article."

An Ning handed over a piece of paper with many names written on it.

"After the dynasty is established, all the people on the list will be dismissed and never allowed to enter officialdom again."

He said, pointing to a certain article, "Also this, how can you come up with the idea of killing people without paying the price, only needing to be disciplined for two years before being given freedom?"

"They said that children don't know what's important and will inevitably make mistakes. Society should tolerate them and give them a chance to reform and start anew."

An Ning responded like this.

"Who gives the victims who died a chance?"

Jun Wuxie said coldly, "Is it a reason to kill people because children don't know what's important? Then who will avenge the children killed by children? In other words, the victimized children can only die in vain, resentfully in the afterlife, while the heinous criminal children can live freely and enjoy the beauty of life under the protection of the law! Is this law used to protect criminals?"

"Also, in mutual fights, as long as you are not facing a life-threatening situation, once you fight back, it is determined to be a mutual fight? If it is to prevent retaliation from causing unequal harm and expanding the seriousness of the incident, then a law must be formulated to solve this matter, such as using the other party's way to deal with the other party."

"Ah?"

An Ning's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Using the other party's way to deal with the other party, this sounds pretty good."

"If conflicts occur in real life, if the law completely relaxes the right to self-defense, there may be extreme consequences such as Zhang San pushing Li Si, and Li Si stabbing Zhang San to death with a knife in a passionate retaliation. But if this power is given to the Imperial Court's Punishment Division, the result will be different."

"For example, Zhang San slapped Li Si, and Li Si reported to the authorities. According to the principle of using the other party's way to deal with the other party, Zhang San can be sentenced to a slap. The enforcer strictly gives Zhang San the same degree of slap according to the severity of the victim Li Si's injury. If Zhang San cruelly and brutally killed Li Si, then using this method to punish him, the enforcer brutally kills Zhang San with the same means that Zhang San brutally killed Li Si, so that he suffers the same pain and consequences. Equal harm, equal punishment, this is very fair."

"What Jun Shen said is true, this is indeed very fair, but it is not easy to implement. I am afraid that there will be unjust, false and wrong cases, and some people will use this law to wrongly kill innocent people."

"Who dares?"

Jun Wuxie said coldly, "I will set up a 'Major Case Supervision Division' in every city. Any case that needs to be sentenced to death must report the detailed situation to the 'Major Case Supervision Division'. They will personally verify it. If they bend the law for personal gain and create a wrongful case, they will be sentenced to capital punishment and publicly dismembered for a hundred days!"

"An Ning, you don't have to worry about these things at all. In the future, I will also build a rune monitoring network throughout the entire dynasty's territory, covering every inch of the dynasty's land. If anything happens, as long as you communicate with the rune monitoring network, you will be able to trace the truth in it. Who dares to mess around?"

An Ning was so excited when she heard this. She had never dared to think about these things before.

But when Jun Wuxie said it, she didn't doubt it at all. If he could say it, he would definitely be able to do it.

If that were the case, the future dynasty would definitely be a prosperous age that had never existed since ancient times. The dynasty's people would enjoy true peace, and the entire society would become more and more harmonious and beautiful.

"Then… should An Ning find a time to convey Jun Shen's meaning to them, and then re-discuss the specific details of the designation of certain laws and regulations?"

"No need."

Jun Wuxie put his hand on the jade slip, his mind sinking into the jade slip, and quickly modified some of the articles inside.

"This… isn't this a bit too heavy?"

An Ning was shocked when she saw some of the laws and regulations.

Especially the article on those who eat salary and violate the law, it was quite heavy.

The starting point is dismissal, then dismissal and exile from the dynasty. The lightest of the rest is life imprisonment. As long as they bend the law for personal gain and cause harm to the people, it is the death penalty. A slightly more serious one is the extreme penalty of dismemberment, and there are also distinctions between light and heavy dismemberment, ranging from dismemberment for three days to dismemberment for a hundred days.

Dismemberment for a hundred days means suspending the life of the person being executed by special methods, cutting off their flesh and blood every day until they die after suffering torture for a hundred days.

"Jun Shen, in this case, An Ning is worried that no one will be willing to be an official in the future…"

"Then don't be one! Selfish and easily captured by desires people are naturally timid and dare not come, but those who have justice in their hearts are not afraid of these things, they will naturally come, which is equivalent to conducting a screening. For the various positions in the dynasty, I have people!"

Jun Wuxie didn't care. Even if no one in the entire dynasty was willing to be an official, he wouldn't care.

He has more than one way to solve the whole problem.

For example, he can use the Salvation Sutra to convert a group of people, turn them into devout believers, and then let the believers manage the dynasty.

Also, he can return to the Lower Realm and bring people from the academies in the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm to become officials in the dynasty.

The Royal Academy in the Lower Realm, among them, specializes in cultivating those who govern the country and bring peace to the world. So many years have passed, I don't know how many talents have been cultivated. Are you still afraid that there will be no one to manage the dynasty in the Upper Realm?

Besides, he was originally planning to return to the Lower Realm anyway. Only after solving the current enemies, before establishing the dynasty, he must return to the Lower Realm.

The original seeds of spirit rice are in the Lower Realm, and he has to go back and get them to plant in this Upper Realm.

The quality of the spirit rice seeds planted in the Upper Realm, this world full of holy spiritual energy, is directly holy grade, there is no doubt about this.

With this foundation, the era of national cultivation can be opened after the dynasty is established.

He also had nine supreme dragon veins brought back from the ancient tomb. When the dragon veins are integrated into the dynasty's territory, the dynasty's environment will undergo earth-shattering changes, and the quality of the spirit rice will also increase.

Jun Wuxie didn't waste much time, revising all the laws he was dissatisfied with and perfecting them.

He handed the jade slip to Anning and said, "The laws in this jade slip are the laws that the dynasty will use. Perhaps there are still imperfections in it, which can be slowly modified and perfected in future practice. For the time being, don't show the contents of this to anyone, and don't tell them that I have reviewed it. After the dynasty is established, you will convene the ministers to discuss the laws again, and show them the contents of the jade slip, but don't say that I formulated them, just say that you did. Regarding the penalty clauses for those who receive stipends and violate the law, you should see who objects most fiercely at that time and record them all. Those people cannot be kept; they must be dismissed from their official positions and demoted to commoners!"

"I respectfully obey the decree of the Divine Monarch!"

Anning bowed gracefully in front of him, which amused Jun Wuxie. He said, "What decree are you obeying? Your coy bow doesn't look like you're obeying a decree."

He stood up and said, "The matter of the laws can be put aside for now. Let your father handle the government affairs next. You should cultivate diligently, and your realm cannot fall behind. Go and hand over the responsibilities to your father. When you cultivate, you can go to the valley where I and Aunt Jing are."

After he finished speaking, he soared into the air and came to the sky above the border city, gazing into the distance, his Primordial True Eyes piercing through endless mountains and rivers.

"Taiyi Sect, Xuanbing Sect, Blood Fiend Alliance, are you still not showing yourselves? You are truly cunning and shrewd, wanting to sit back and watch the tigers fight. It's a pity that the tiger you think you see is just a group of sick cats."

He muttered to himself, then turned to look in the direction of the Wu'an Dynasty.

After such a long time, the three major sects supporting Wu'an should have received the talisman from the Wu'an royal family, and their experts may be on their way.

The border city is destined to be lively for a long time.

Jun Wuxie actually wanted to resolve these matters sooner.

However, the enemy's sects are too far away, and the transmission of information and the movement of personnel take time.

"Very well, I can take this time to cultivate."

Jun Wuxie landed in front of the mountain range. Jing Ya, dressed in a palace dress of azure feathers, her beauty breathtaking, still stood quietly in place.

Seeing him land, Jing Ya smiled faintly and stepped forward to take his arm, walking elegantly towards the valley.

… …

At the same time, in the mountains hundreds of thousands of miles away from the border city, a stream of light fell like a meteor in front of a lake.

These were dozens of Overlord Saints, including several Overlord Saint Extreme Celestial experts, who came from the Taiyi Sect, Xuanbing Sect, and Blood Fiend Alliance.

Some time ago, they hid in that small city waiting for an opportunity. Today, they received news that experts from two major bounty hunter groups were about to arrive at the border city.

So they acted, secretly hiding in the mountains behind the border city to observe the situation.

They thought that the people from the two bounty hunter groups would be evenly matched with Jun Wuxie, but they didn't expect that Jun Wuxie was unscathed, and the two bounty hunter groups were completely annihilated!

They saw the final result and dared not stay near the border city any longer, turning around and running away, fearing that they would be discovered after a long time and would have difficulty surviving.

"Is that Jun really in the Great Saint Realm?"

They expressed doubt. Could the Great Saint Realm easily kill two deputy团长 of the Overlord Saint Extreme Celestial Realm? Could it crush and kill hundreds of Overlord Saint Middle Celestial to Extreme Celestial experts?

"He is an evildoer, not a human at all!"

"Now I truly understand why the demon race wants to hunt down this person! Once you become enemies with such a person, if you don't kill him, he will become a nightmare in the future. When he grows up and comes to take revenge, who can bear it? Even the demon race is afraid, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!"

"No, we have to jointly write a talisman and send it back to the sect in the fastest way. This person is too heaven-defying. Taking advantage of his current low realm is the best opportunity to kill him in the cradle. Otherwise, when he launches a revenge against us in the future, our sect will suffer heavy losses!"

"It's not certain that even a perfect Overlord Saint Extreme Celestial expert will be safe. Unless there are enough of them, it's best if the sect has a half-step Saint Emperor!"

"While we can still deal with him, cut off his head and exchange it for benefits from the demon race!"

… …

The experts from the three sects talked to each other and jointly wrote a talisman.

The talisman written in this way will fly much faster than a single person's writing, which can reduce the transmission time.
