My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 299 This Heavenly Court is utterly rotten, a new title!
"What?! I only used the teleportation portal once and it costs 300,000?! Why don't you just rob me?!"

Although Li Wei is already very rich, he is not a fool!
The most ridiculous thing is that he was chatting and laughing with Venus just ten minutes ago, but ten minutes later he was stopped by the staff of the teleportation station and asked to pay the teleportation fee.

If word got out, people would think that his position as the Thunder Department Inspector was just for show.

There's no need to go to the Thunder Department in Zhongzhou to take up the post then; let's just head back home.

Upon hearing Li Wei's accent, the toll collector at the teleportation station became even more dismissive, saying while watching the show, "Handsome, I didn't set this price. Prices are just like this in Zhongzhou. Please pay up quickly!"

Although working people shouldn't make things difficult for each other, this guy's attitude was just too bad, so Li Wei didn't hesitate to take out the Heavenly Emperor's decree, which immediately scared out their teleportation station's leader.

Are you trying to prevent me from taking office?

The branch manager had never seen the Heavenly Emperor's decree, but he recognized the effects of the terms.

Upon seeing the words "[Shanghao Yuyuan Wushang Zhizun Zhenguang Miaoyou Zhengdao Qingtian Daodi Edict]", his expression immediately changed, and he couldn't help but angrily rebuke the man from before: "You blind dog, hurry up and apologize to Inspector Li!"

"Dad, but this fee is the rule of the Immortal Abode."

Snapped! !

"Shut up!!"

Has this bastard gone mad from cultivating? Other immortal abodes are all under the Jade Emperor's family. How dare you obstruct the Heavenly Emperor's decree? You really don't know what death means!

The station manager slapped his son hard across the face, still not satisfied, and punched him several more times before saying, "From today onwards, you're being transferred to be a security guard, and your younger brother will be in charge of collecting fees!"

Which younger brother?

More than 300 members of their family work at this teleportation station, including more than 30 brothers, cousins, and other male relatives.

"Anyone will do, but get out of here!"

After finishing his tirade, the branch manager bowed and scraped to Li Wei, promising to strengthen the rectification of the family's atmosphere and also giving him a year's teleportation discount.

Although Li Wei is already quite wealthy, he was still quite shocked by the prices in Zhongzhou City and made up his mind that he must take advantage of Lei's resources and would never waste his money on such things again.

So he confiscated the teleportation card and said directly, "Give me cash!"

The branch manager felt this was very much right!
As expected of the new inspector, his actions are just perfect.

So the branch manager had no choice but to reluctantly hand over a gold card.

Don't refrain from doing good just because it's a small act!

After this experience, he will surely learn his lesson and improve the atmosphere of this teleportation station. It seems I have done another great deed!
Li Wei smiled and said, "Did your family contract this teleportation station?"

"It was left by our ancestors. Our Song family obtained the contracting rights to this place during the Tiandao 5.0 era, and we have been doing this for more than 20,000 years since then."

"Didn't you do anything else?"

"Other things are unstable! Commerce in our Central Continent is too developed. There are commercial wars every day. Even if you open a small supermarket, you may go bankrupt in a day. So, if you have money, you might as well invest it in future generations of cultivators and see if you can produce a few immortal seeds. Why waste it?"

The young man who had just been reprimanded scoffed upon hearing this, his face full of disdain, and said, "Dad! That's outdated thinking. How can you become an immortal by clinging to the old ways?"

"If you ask me, if we poor people want to become immortals, we either have to rely on stock speculation or join the army. Now that the Blissful Demon Land is in need of manpower, why don't we sell this teleportation station and join the army together!"

"You bastard! This is all the wealth our Song family has left, and you want to sell it?! I'll beat you to death!"

Seeing the Song family head get angry, the heads of the Ma family (who had run a shop for ten thousand years), the Zhong family (who had run a nail salon for seven thousand years), and the Wang family (who had run a snack stall for two thousand years) quickly surrounded him and kept admonishing him.

These families are all affiliated with the Song family. They intermarry with the Song family and together form a circular industrial chain within the station, encompassing teleportation, retail, service, and food. They control all the interests of this teleportation station, forming a distorted yet stable family-based intermarriage industrial model.

Upon seeing these decaying creatures, Li Wei couldn't help but frown: "This Central Plains seems quite different from what I imagined..."

He didn't continue watching the farce, but turned and walked out of the teleportation station. Soon he arrived on the street and saw rows of tall buildings.

Countless cultivators scurried through the streets like ants. Many of them, dressed in fine clothes, suddenly went bankrupt as they walked, all their wealth vanishing and leaving them naked beggars.

But after a quiet period of frustration, they became enthusiastic again.

Because while they were going bankrupt, the beggars around them who were scavenging for food in the garbage dump just a second ago became billionaires the next second.

In Zhongzhou City,

Bankruptcy is the norm, and everyone has a chance to start over. Everyone can defy fate and change their destiny. Everyone is seeking change!
In a trance,
Li Wei felt as if he were looking at a boiling pot of oil, with countless people throwing themselves into this ocean of variables as fuel, making the entire Zhongzhou City boil wildly like oil being cooked over a raging fire!

But right behind Li Wei, in the teleportation station separated by a wall.

The Song, Ma, Zhong, and Wang families, however, clung together and stubbornly guarded their own little plot of land, spending thousands of years building their businesses and refusing any change.

Conservatism and progress go hand in hand, self-consolidation and radical change interact, extreme class leaps and extreme class solidification advance in tandem, leading everyone to rush headlong into the abyss of a consumerist, idyllic society!

This is Zhongzhou, a city that is both contradictory and harmonious, crazy and calm, decadent and chaotic yet full of vitality!

This city,

They eat people!
Wow! ! !
The moment Li Wei stepped inside, a group of "billboards" came rushing towards him.

"Soar through the skies on your sword, roaming freely between heaven and earth! The latest 'Nine Heavens Flowing Light Sword,' crafted from Nine Heavens Mystic Iron, features 108 built-in acceleration runes, making instantaneous teleportation a reality! Purchase now and receive a free 'anti-shake plugin'!"

"The Beauty and Youth Preservation Pill will keep you forever young! Female cultivators will become more beautiful after taking it, and male cultivators will become more handsome. If you don't become beautiful, you don't have to pay!"

"Staying up all night to refine pills is bad for your health? Try the 'One-Click Pill Furnace'! Automatic fire control and intelligent formula allow you to refine top-grade pills even while lying down!"

"Smart talisman printer: Generate thunder talismans, fire talismans, and earth-遁 talismans with one click, saving time, effort, and spiritual energy!"

"The dual cultivation ultimate technique 'Yin Yang Harmony Technique' is included with the purchase of the official version, along with a dual cultivation partner AI simulator, ensuring your cultivation is never lonely and giving you the chance to unlock special ultimate technique attributes!"

"The luxurious Penglai Pavilion, nestled amidst a spiritual vein, boasts stunning scenery, making it the perfect choice for your secluded cultivation, dual cultivation, and raising of spiritual pets! Down payment of 1000 million, installments over a thousand years!"

Dozens of people who looked like cultivators, advertising flying swords, elixirs, killing techniques, magical artifacts, and cave dwellings, surrounded Li Wei and started promoting their wares all at once. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were human. Holy crap! They really were human!!

However, they have undergone some kind of special human modification. Their skin has been made into a display screen, their hair into a text editor, and their dantian into an energy system. They can go without eating, drinking, or resting, and can be on standby 24 hours a day without consuming any energy!

They can synthesize whatever they need using their cultivation, making it incredibly green, environmentally friendly, economical, and cost-effective!
Most importantly, they don't even need to be paid! Because these people are all burdened with numerous debt records, it's clear they've been captured and brought here to be used and forced to work to pay off their debts.

So, to pay off their debts, they gave their speeches with great enthusiasm. Even when Li Wei was about to leave, these people clung to him like glue, following him closely.

"Sir, could you please watch for another three minutes? That way I can increase the completion rate, finish next month's work ahead of schedule, and have time to trade stocks!"

Saying,

Another person put down the three- or four-year-old "miniature billboard" he was carrying on his back, trying to elicit Li Wei's sympathy.

"Waaah! Sir, please, please open a credit card account! Every additional card you open gives this child a better chance to pay off his debts. Please, please save my child!"

Li Wei paused, gazing intently at the small billboard that was blinking its dark eyes.

"Can someone this young really undergo modification?"

Several people carrying "small billboards" and "large billboards" immediately caught the eye and quickly surrounded the monk who seemed to be a kind person.

"Yes, yes, this is a new education law that was passed just 60 years ago. It allows children to work part-time while studying, so that they can contribute to society and earn money from a young age to enhance their potential for spiritual cultivation."

"By the way, sir, would you like to try a baby feast? No, no, no, don't misunderstand, this isn't about eating people. It's about a group of children dressed in your favorite clothes, serving you your meal, and they can even provide some special outfits!"

boom! !

An arm violently pierced through the void, grabbing the speaker's head. Li Wei then pressed down on him, staring directly into his eyes and saying, word by word, "What did you say?"

The monk who had just been promoting the baby banquet was like a bird facing an imminent eruption of a volcano, desperately waving his arms, trying to break free from Li Wei's control.

But no matter how much force he used, he couldn't break free from Li Wei's grip. Those five fingers were like mountains, pressing down on his head and constantly applying force, allowing him to clearly hear the sound of his skull rubbing together.

"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!!"

The little girl, about six or seven years old, with delicate features but wearing heavy, flamboyant makeup, on the monk's back, was so frightened that she cried. Half of her false eyelashes fell off, and her lipstick was soaked with tears.

"Waaaaah, Uncle, please let my dad go, please!"

Li Wei took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, savoring the "flavor" of Zhongzhou City!

OK!

What a wonderful new education law from the Department of Educational Selection!

If this is what they call working part-time while studying, contributing to the immortal society, then it's truly laughable.

And what's even more ridiculous is...
Li Wei turned around and saw the towering skyscraper that seemed to reach into the clouds in the distance.

The magnificent emblem of thunder hangs high, and countless cultivators dressed in thunder official uniforms, who govern justice in the human world, reside within it, with brilliant lights illuminating all directions.

Central Plains Thunder Division!!
In one of the most prosperous districts in the five continents, the economic, cultural and political center of the human world, and an important pillar for the extension of the Heavenly Court's laws and regulations, there are still people who turn children into a business.

This Heavenly Court is absolutely rotten!

this moment,
Li Wei's heart was in turmoil, so much so that even the [Washing Life Orthodox Church Pantheon] in the heavens above sensed it, and sent down strands of invisible and intangible starlight from afar!
The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system was immediately stunned: [This is...]

Li Wei pushed aside the surrounding crowd and walked step by step toward Lei Bu.

The surrounding world suddenly seemed surreal, and the dense crowd dispersed like a flood hitting rocks.

—You should know that at this moment, Li Wei was clearly moving against the flow of people, but it gave people the feeling that the entire crowd was rushing towards him!
Facing the crowd,

Li Wei felt as if he were seeing countless shadows and constraints; a fire burned within him, growing ever stronger, until finally…
Boom!
A dazzling golden light suddenly descended from the sky and landed on Li Wei's head, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around.

[Heavenly Title - The Defender!!]

[Entry Effect: Change]

The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system chuckled, sensing a certain change in time, and suddenly activated its own [Dragon Crown] vulnerability, enveloping Li Wei's title.

The title vanished into nothingness.

That's why more people didn't see the suddenly trending topic!
Wow!
In the blinding light
The original text for the title "Heavenly Dao" was suddenly erased, and a more ornate text was created.

[Unique Effect: Blocks Rivers - Starting at 11:7.19 PM on November 11th, the first year of the Heavenly Dao version 7.19, all your subsequent changes to the world will become your power to change the world.]

This is the sixth Heavenly Dao title that Li Wei has obtained since "Fake Immortal", "Junior Priest", "The Most Ruthless Person in Foundation Establishment", "Godslayer", and "Deceitful Person", and it is the most special Heavenly Dao title!
To change the world, and then change the world again? This is a special ability that has never been recorded in the Heavenly Court, nor has it ever appeared before!

Now,
Li Wei couldn't help but be surprised: "You can even change the effects of entries?"

The system said weakly, "[It's not a change, it's that time and fate have changed at this moment. I detected this mutation and brought over the entry that originally belonged to you from the future!]"

This thing should have belonged to you from the start, but it belongs to you after you ascended and received divine baptism!

Li Wei was jolted, his eyes widening instantly: "Reverse time? Reverse cause and effect? ​​You..."

【Master, this isn't just my power, it's our power. Look at the sky, isn't our starlight illuminating us?】

Li Wei looked up.

Sure enough, an invisible ray of light descended from the sky.

That was light from the [Baptism of Life Orthodox Church Pantheon].

it,
—Responding to Li Wei's heart!
