"Okay!" Ye Fei finally felt relieved after hearing Lao Ji's affirmative answer.

However, when he said the next sentence, he confused Lao Ji again.

"Old Ji! Since you are a powerful god in the heavens, I believe that with the magic you master, it shouldn't be difficult to resurrect all those who have been imprisoned to death here, right?"

Lao Ji: “…”

"This, this... Master..." Lao Ji stammered, "Resurrect all those who have died?"

Old Ji took a look at the densely packed and stacked iron cages on the seabed and instantly became a little uneasy.

"Yes!" Ye Fei's answer was very affirmative and clear.

"This...this...this is not necessary, right?" Lao Ji's tone was full of helplessness.

"Why? You can't do it?" Ye Fei asked, "According to you, although most of these people have turned into bones, their souls are still imprisoned in the cage. Logically speaking, a powerful person like you in the divine realm can bring them back to life by casting some magic that can bring back the dead, right?"

"Haha..." Old Ji laughed awkwardly. "This kind of magic does exist, but it requires a lot of spiritual medicine to assist it. Only then can it achieve what the master said, to bring the dead back to life, and turn flesh into bones. We are now at the bottom of the sea, so there is nothing we can do about it!"

At this point, Old Ji suddenly changed the subject: "Master, in my opinion, I can help you save these ten or so people who are still alive. As for those who have been dead for who knows how many years, we can help release their souls and give them a chance to reincarnate. Why should we cause ourselves so much trouble?"

"That won't work!" Ye Fei said decisively.

"Why?" asked Lao Ji.

"If I save one and not the other, they will hate me and make me make many enemies for no reason!" Ye Fei said in a deep voice.

"Master, is this what you want?" Old Ji was obviously very angry at Ye Fei's words: "Master, do you know how much effort it would take even for a god-level strongman like me to revive someone like them who has already turned into bones?"

"Of course it's not just for this reason!" Ye Fei's tone suddenly became more serious than ever before: "I think... if I can rescue them all, it will definitely be of great help to me in the future.

Just think about it, they had died unjustly for so many years, especially since their souls were still imprisoned here after death. How much they must hate the rulers of this slave island! How much they must hate the fairy court for not treating them as human beings!

If I could save them all, how do you think they would repay me?"

"It turns out that the master wants them to repay you and get some benefits from them!" Lao Ji finally realized.

"Of course not!" Ye Fei once again denied Lao Ji's guess: "I don't expect to get much reward from them. I just think that this slave island is too fucked up. If I save them all and let them see the light of day again, guess what they will do?

Once they get out, they will definitely seek revenge on those who rule the Slave Island. If their revenge is successful, more people imprisoned on the Slave Island will be rescued.

Of course, if they are not doing well, you have to help them!"

"Master, be merciful!" Lao Ji finally understood Ye Fei's true thoughts: "It turns out that the master wants to save all the people on the slave island!"

At this point, Lao Ji suddenly changed the subject: "But, Master, do you know why this slave island exists in this fairyland?"

"Why?" Ye Fei asked.

"It's precisely because the war of the gods you launched in the divine realm tens of thousands of years ago was so brutal that almost all of the immortal energy and star power in this universe was consumed in that battle." Old Ji said slowly:

"That battle almost drained all the spiritual energy from all the immortal mountains in this universe. Even today, countless immortal mountains have not recovered even a little bit of spiritual energy.

As a result, the space available for cultivation in the Immortal Realm was greatly reduced. That was why the Immortal Court came up with a method to send all those who ascended from the mortal realm to the Slave Island first, and let them grow spiritual medicines for decades or even hundreds of years. Only if there were some gifted people who really had the talent for cultivation would they be taken away from the Slave Island and allowed them to officially embark on the path of cultivation.

The Immortal Court actually had no choice but to do this. If they didn't, they would not be able to accommodate the people who ascended from the lower realm, or even support them.

They certainly wouldn't want to see people from the lower realm ascend from the mortal world and divide up the already limited immortal energy.

In the past tens of thousands of years, it has been very difficult for the immortal cultivators in the fairy world to break through to the realm of the Immortal Emperor and ascend to the realm of gods. No one wants to see so many more people affecting their cultivation.

In fact, although many people have indeed ascended from the mortal world by their own abilities, in fact, the vast majority of them do not have the talent for cultivating immortals.

To put it bluntly, even if they were given a chance to practice well, at least half of them might not be able to reach the Earthly Immortal realm in just two or three hundred years and truly step into the threshold of cultivating immortals.

Then, in the end, the outcome for the vast majority of people is that their lifespans gradually run out, and they die with hatred in their hearts."

"Is it so difficult to cultivate to the level of Earthly Immortal?" Ye Fei was a little surprised.

"Of course!" Lao Ji said, "That's why the Immortal Court came up with this idea: to gather all the people who ascended from the lower realms on this slave island and let them fend for themselves.

Occasionally, there are a few geniuses with exceptional talent and exceptional cultivation speed, who will be taken away by various forces in the Immortal Court in turn. As for the others, no one cares whether they live or die, and can only let them fend for themselves here, either running out of lifespan and dying of old age, or dying of exhaustion.

"Damn it! What kind of excuse is this!" Ye Fei suddenly couldn't help but curse: "Are these people not human beings?"

"No one says they are not human!" Lao Ji retorted, "On the contrary, for now, apart from the smart people imprisoned here in the seabed, all other people are living quite well on this island. They still think that the fairy world is like this.

Although they helped the Immortal Court plant spiritual herbs every day, they still had plenty of time to practice. Moreover, for them, the spiritual energy here was many times richer than any blessed land in the mortal world.

Many people live happily every day, working diligently and cultivating peacefully."

"That won't do either. I don't care!" Ye Fei suddenly said to him in a very serious tone: "Old Ji, you must find a way to rescue all those who died unjustly at the bottom of the sea. Then I will take them out and expose the truth here in public. I want everyone to know that they were treated as slaves after they ascended."
