879 Eight Green Lotuses (2)
This outcome was an unbearable loss to both the Netherworld and Jiang Li.
Therefore, after dealing with Jiang Ziya, Jiang Li wanted to see if there was any way to salvage the situation.
“Ten seniors, you know far more about the Nine Nether than me. Help me.”
Jiang Li turned around and politely sought help from the Ten Kings of Hell beside him.
Their help previously had indeed greatly reduced the losses of Fengdu City and the human race.
Jiang Li did not intend to go back on his word. He decided to give them a chance to rebuild the Yama Hall and retain some autonomy in the Netherworld.
However, the right to decide on reincarnation and the 18 levels of hell, and the important Land of Reincarnation could not be given to them.
In ancient times, the ten halls of the Netherworld ruled the Netherworld. Fengdu City could only take the leftovers at the edge of the Netherworld.
However, the Heavenly Court was gone now, and so were the Sages!
Now that the Human Emperor was in charge, everything would naturally be reversed.
In the corner of the Netherworld, letting them rebuild a Yama Hall and occasionally help Fengdu City share some work was already their best treatment.
The Ten Kings of Hell had always been very sensible, so how could they dare to have any objections? They did not even ask Jiang Li for the ruins of the Ten Kings of Hell.
It was already very benevolent of the current Human Emperor to allow them to keep their immortal artifacts.
At this moment, Jiang Li asked them to help because he was actually giving them a chance.
If they did well, he might provide them with some help when they rebuild the Yama Halls.
Or perhaps, he could hand over one of the less important stations of the thirteen stations to them to manage.
Then, their lives would be much better in the future.
“Lord Human Emperor, don’t say that. We brothers can’t be called seniors. With your cultivation, you’re embarrassing us.”
“You’ve saved the world and are also everyone’s savior. It’s only right for us brothers to follow the Human Emperor and do something. We can’t repay your kindness.”
“Lord, you’re benevolent and concerned about the people, right? You want to rebuild Tragic Death City, right? Wait a moment and see our methods!”
The Ten Kings of Hell bowed. Their words were quite comfortable to hear.
They agreed to Jiang Li’s arrangements.
Then, ten heads fell off the body, turning into ten streaks of light that flew into the huge hole after Tragic Death City disappeared.
The battle between Jiang Ziya and the 20 Immortals almost broke through this barrier.
Just thinking about rebuilding it gave him a headache. Especially the special rules of Tragic Death City, Jiang Li did not know how to construct them.
It all depended on the ability of the Ten Kings of Hell.
He threw in a blood jade brick and sent it to the seed. There was an endless stream of Netherworld merit and immortal spiritual qi.
In the blood jade brick, the ten million human souls sealed were all falsely revived. At the same time, they were bound by the rules of the city.
However, the strength of the current rule chains was far inferior to before.
If a few experts appeared inside, they might be able to break the chains and escape.
It took Jiang Li ten days to falsely resurrect all the souls. The energy and merit consumed was really quite a lot.
However, according to the Ten Kings of Hell, he no longer needed to invest so much strength and merit after this.
As long as those falsely resurrected dead people lived in this city, they could continuously produce some energy.
Then, they would rely on this energy to slowly strengthen and expand the city and convert new Tragic Death citizens into a virtuous cycle.
As time passed, it would become a city that even the Tragic Death Immortal Soul could not escape from.
Although this city would be slower at the beginning, after spending thousands of years, it could roughly recover some of its power.
However, Jiang Li had never liked to wait, especially for such a long time.
He did not lack spiritual qi and immortal qi to begin with, so the main reason why his speed slowed down was because of merit.
One Merit Green Lotus was too slow, so he would make a few more.
This time, Jiang Li stepped into the void alone.
He already grasped the thirteen Netherworld fragments and the last reincarnation core.
The Dragon Imprisoning Lock swung, and the Netherworld that wrapped around the Village Viewing Platform began to pull back.
The current Human Emperor, who had already become an immortal, was much stronger than before.
He gradually exerted strength and easily pulled the entire Netherworld towards Fengdu City.
What he needed to pay attention to now was not to use too much strength at once. He did not want to shatter this Netherworld fragment even more.
It only took Jiang Li seven days to pull back the first piece of the Netherworld and put them together.
However, the second piece took 16 days. The third piece took 28 days.
This was because the Netherworld fragments were randomly floating in the void. They were not connected in a straight line, but every piece of the Netherworld was very far away from the previous piece.
It would naturally take more and more time.
After piecing together the thirteen stations of the Netherworld, Jiang Li had already spent two years.
However, the Netherworld merit obtained from this already made him have eight green lotuses above his head!
Due to the merit obtained, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock had long advanced to become an immortal artifact.
As such, he was only missing the last Land of Reincarnation, which was the hardest and heaviest place.
