The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Although the golden halo looks quite beautiful, like a deity, it is not only ostentatious, but also its intense power of will can easily shake one's mind.

"This is... the offerings of all living beings, and you won't absorb even a single drop?"

Lü Dongbin was somewhat surprised. He also saw those golden specks of light, which were not unfamiliar to him.

After all, the concept of incense has existed in China since ancient times, and even the gods would care about such things.

This also proves that Angelica dahurica has reached a level of considerable reverence in people's hearts.

If this were in their era, another virtuous immortal would probably have ascended to the heavens.

"There's no need for that, and besides, they'll corrupt the mind of the person receiving them, you must know that, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Dongbin gave a wry smile, "It was something I hadn't expected. Indeed, someone as naturally divine as you doesn't need such a thing."

"However, back then, this was also an important force in maintaining the heavens and the underworld."

"Absorbing it can enhance our power and allow us to maintain our existence in both realms for a longer time. If we don't absorb it, once the favor of righteous energy is gone, we will quickly suffer the five signs of decay and perish."

344 The Immortal's Approval

"But you still failed in the end, right?"

"Yes, in the land of China, the gods established the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, and even passed down their teachings, instructing their descendants to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, while evil people are struck down with lightning to destroy them."

"However, in the end, there were too many immortals, gods, and people of good fortune, and the two realms could not be maintained."

"Even gods cannot plunder the heavens and underworlds of other realms like mortal kingdoms do. That would cause the blessing of righteousness to leave more quickly, and they would eventually perish."

Lü Dongbin and Anubis said exactly the same thing: the contradiction between an infinitely expanding population and limited resources.

"What is Mr. Lü Dongbin's view on the current situation?"

"Now?"

"That's right, now."

"We are living in a good time now, although in my divination, wars in this world will be more brutal and more people will die."

"But at the same time, the world is prosperous, and people have more and more things to enjoy. An ordinary person may eat better than the emperor of my time."

Looking at the cars speeding by on the road, Lü Dongbin said, "In my time, it was hard to imagine that humans could create such a thing that could run on its own without the help of animals."

"Indeed, for example, this store in front of me belongs to me, and the things sold in it will greatly change the world."

Bai Zhi pointed to a shop made of large glass panels that stood in the bustling area ahead.

If a person from the future came here, they would probably feel very familiar with it.

Because this style is very similar to the fruit shop next door.

"Oh?"

"That's right, let's go in and take a look."

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she took the lead and walked ahead, leading Lü Dongbin into the shop.

The place was bustling with activity; many wealthy people had gathered around the exhibition booths, admiring and playing with the electronic products.

"Look, this little gadget will be the future; it will be able to connect the whole world."

Bai Zhi pointed to a laptop that looked more like it was from the 21st century than the 90s.

Using the production lines on the Hyperion that far surpassed those of this world, they created some even more advanced production lines, and then produced electronic equipment equivalent to the 2020s in the 1990s.

However, the price is also very high, with Angelica dahurica priced at $10.

However, people continued to come and buy.

"This thing..."

Lu Dongbin glanced at it, then immediately cast a divination, and then his face immediately showed surprise.

The divination indicates that this thing can greatly improve human productivity, and even on a larger scale, it can be used to accurately predict the weather or many natural events.

"Did you create this with magic?"

After much thought, this was the only idea he could come up with.

Even if he had confidence in humanity, he simply couldn't imagine that humans could create a machine that could predict nature.

Only supernatural power could do that so easily.

Bai Zhi shook her head. "These things are all things that humans can create, um... but not so quickly. I just made them many years ahead of schedule."

"Compared to computers, mobile phones have changed people more, at least in their lives."

Bai Zhi picked up a mobile phone on the display stand. Although the phone looked like the first generation of Apple phones, in order to leave room for future upgrades, it was already amazing enough for this era.

Lu Dongbin's eyes widened even more this time, because the divination showed that this thing would become an external organ for humans in the future, with functions such as transmitting images in addition to basic communication with people thousands of miles away.

In his time, this was considered a miraculous feat.

"Besides these, there are also things like prosthetic limb printing over there, which can help people with disabilities live better lives."

Bai Zhi pointed to the huge machine placed not far away.

.......

"Phew... Miss Bai Zhi, I must say, you have truly surprised me."

Standing at the shop entrance, Lü Dongbin had a complicated expression. These things were simply changing humanity, enabling it to achieve rapid development.

He couldn't believe that Bai Zhi, who was clearly favored by the dark energy, would actually do such a thing.

He also suspected that Bai Zhi might be plotting something.

However, he immediately dismissed the idea, because if such a complicated process of creating and using such a complex tool that humans could manufacture was for the sake of a conspiracy, then he could only say that he had been deceived without any grievance.

"Hehe, there's no need to be surprised. I haven't given up on ruling this world, just not in the usual way."

"Oh?"

Lü Dongbin didn't make any alarming moves, but instead looked at Bai Zhi.

"This world needs leaders and geniuses. If I become that leader and control every aspect of people's lives, wouldn't that make me the ruler of this world?"

"Sometimes, a true king doesn't need a crown, he just needs the facts."

"With such resources and prestige, whatever I want to do, people will willingly support and follow me, won't they?"

"Therefore, using violence to control and rule the world is the most foolish method."

"Is that so...? That does make sense."

Lü Dongbin actually nodded in agreement; he didn't reject what Bai Zhi had said.

There always has to be a villain, and Bai Zhi, who can lead humanity to progress, is practically a super benevolent person.

"Then... Mr. Lü Dongbin, do you still intend to seal me away?"

Bai Zhi looked at Lü Dongbin. She still held this ancestor in high esteem. If it were any other deity, she probably wouldn't have had the patience to accompany him around.

"Haha, young friend, there's no need to test me. If I were to seal you away after such achievements, then I would definitely be the one with the problem."

Lu Dongbin laughed heartily a few times. As an old and shrewd man, how could he not see the purpose of Bai Zhi taking him sightseeing?

But Bai Zhi clearly achieved her goal.

He no longer wanted to seal Bai Zhi.

"Very well, then would Mr. Lü Dongbin be willing to join my plan to rebuild the two realms?"

"what?!"

"Just as the words suggest, we will rebuild the heavens and the underworld, so that we can control the yin and yang cycle of the world, instead of letting it grow wildly and recklessly."

"What good will this do you?"

Lu Dongbin found it hard to understand why Bai Zhi would do this. Even at her current pace, her reputation and wealth among mortals would be enough for her to rule over a large number of people. What would be the point of rebuilding the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld?

"Just consider it a little hobby of mine."

Bai Zhi certainly couldn't say it was because she felt that this might also satisfy the system's condition, which was different from the original Holy Lord's, and thus obtain the unlock points.

Chapter 345 Signing a Contract with an Immortal

"This is where I'm going, Mr. Lü Dongbin. Have you made up your mind?"

A short distance from Old Man's antique shop, Bai Zhi stood still and spoke to Lü Dongbin.

“Reshaping these two realms… what a magnificent wish. Although I feel it is difficult to achieve, my body should return to heaven and earth. But now I have come here. Perhaps it is the guidance of fate.”

Lü Dongbin pondered for a moment, then nodded.

He was also very curious about what kind of tremendous changes Bai Zhi, an entity whose future he could not predict, would be able to cause in this world.

“Very good, then it seems that many of my things are more secure.”

"Welcome to my plan, Mr. Lü Dongbin."

Bai Zhi smiled. With Lu Dongbin, the immortal who personally set up the seal, her father was actually dispensable.

"You mean, you want to find the person who is currently favored by righteousness? I can sense that in that room, there is an energy that belongs to the lineage we have passed down, and it seems that righteousness is favoring this person."

Lu Dongbin, observing his father reading various documents in his antique shop, keenly sensed the man's identity.

"Yes, he is also one of the favored ones. I came to him originally to borrow his power to open the gates of hell, but since you have agreed to join my plan, I don't need to bother anymore."

"Open the gates of hell? Do you want to unleash those demons?"

Lü Dongbin frowned. No one knew better than him what was in Hell, the immortal who had personally sealed it away.

What other thoughts did Bai Zhi have besides wanting to unleash the demons when she tried to open the gates of hell?

Bai Zhi shook her head and explained in detail to Lü Dongbin her idea of ​​connecting Hell with the other two realms to serve as a place for the wicked to be punished.

"Letting evildoers suffer in hell for a sufficient amount of time before they can escape hell and be reincarnated... what a brilliant idea."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lü Dongbin's eyes lit up, but immediately a question arose.

"But how can you expect those demons to obey you? Their cunning and violent tendencies won't disappear just because you say a few words."

He didn't hold back and immediately asked Bai Zhi about his doubts.

Simply using violence to subdue these demons is only a temporary solution. In the long run, these guys will always find an opportunity to return to the mortal world and wreak havoc.

"This matter is very simple, Mr. Lü Dongbin. Would you like to experience it?"

"Huh? I'd like to hear the details."

Seeing Bai Zhi's confident demeanor, Lü Dongbin also became interested.

As Bai Zhi reached out, a purple light flashed, and a contract filled with various treaties appeared.

"Come on, sign your name or put your fingerprint on it, and you'll feel it."

"contract?"

Lü Dongbin raised an eyebrow and took the parchment.

He had seen such things before; it was an ancient method that used magic to protect the rights of both parties.

In ancient times, such magic was frequently used between humans and gods, and it was very effective.

However, this is a better option if there is a strong intermediary to guarantee that the treaty can take effect.

However, the eight great demons are undoubtedly the top beings in this world, and they are immortal.

Even immortals like them couldn't possibly surpass the eight great demons at will, so such a contract would naturally be useless.

"This contract of mine is no ordinary contract. You'll understand once you sign it."

Seeing the hesitation in Lü Dongbin's heart, Bai Zhi smiled and said.

"Hmm... I'll give it a try then."

After quickly glancing at the terms and conditions, Lü Dongbin reached out and summoned a pen from his magic, which he then signed with his name.

At the moment he signed, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

This contract was like a tight shackle, binding his actions. It seemed as if a voice was constantly telling him that if he violated the contract, he would be struck by lightning.

"This kind of power..."
