I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

The Lower Three Realms, Dragon Treasury, the Dragon Bones of the Ancestral Dragon.

Hearing this, the Eastern Demon Emperor was deeply moved. He also heard the Dragon Ancestor's warning to Shen Ming to be careful of the Divine Court, and he wished he could let out a long roar.

According to the rules of the Dragon Clan, even in Shen Ming's situation, he should address him as the Dragon God.

"Avenge my dragon race!"

Finally, the Eastern Demon Emperor lowered his head, acknowledging that Shen Ming was a special being.

The Southern Demon Emperor knew that there would be no more obstacles now.

With two demon emperors and a demon god who wanted to cultivate the divine path, Shen Ming already had influence in the demon court.

“I am destined to be with the Dragon Clan, and I will settle this score,” Shen Ming said.

The Eastern Demon Emperor let out a long roar that resounded throughout heaven and earth.

The humans below, thinking the demon court was about to make a move, were filled with fear and unease.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Court began to withdraw from the Longevity Tower.

It came suddenly, and it left suddenly.

Shen Ming didn't come down to explain anything to them; he simply disappeared on the spot.

Everyone was completely confused and didn't understand.

Tianyi once again consulted the human ancestors who buried the coffin of the gods.

“I have already pleaded with him, and he will make an exception for you,” Bone said.

Tianyi wasn't too excited because he had prepared for the worst.

He was more concerned with the intentions of the Nine Human Clans and the Demon Court.

"My lord has gathered the fragments of the world, and the Demon Court will obey the will of the Heavenly Court and follow him in his conquest of the heavens," said Bone Lord.

"what?!"

Tianyi couldn't sit still any longer. It turned out that the Demon Court hadn't actually started a war!

"Then why didn't he explain it to us?"

The "he" Tianyi was referring to was Shen Ming.

"Why would he specifically want to discuss this with you?" Bone asked rhetorically.

Tianyi subconsciously thought, "Isn't Shen Ming a human? Shouldn't he naturally be on their side?"

"With what you've done, you dare to expect this? Besides, are you the only humans in Baiyujing? To be honest, the humans under the rule of the demon race are the original inhabitants of Baiyujing, aren't they?" Bone Lord said coldly.

Tianyi was extremely anxious, watching helplessly as a dramatic change was about to occur in Baiyujing, but their Tongtian Tower and the nine sects of the human race were completely excluded.

They don't even have the right to sit at the table.

The fact that Bone Master secured forgiveness for him does not mean that Shen Ming should take Tongtianlou with him.

"If that's the case, I'd rather die to atone for my sins and earn his forgiveness, so that I can strengthen the nine sects of my human race!" Tianyi said excitedly.

“You are a Great Luo Dao Master, wouldn’t it be a waste for you to die like this?” said Bone Lord.

Tianyi pondered the meaning of those words.

"What the Demon Court is willing to do, my Tongtian Tower can do as well, and I will swear to be loyal to it to the death," Tianyi said.

"That's more like it. While the adults are repairing the world, you should think about how you're going to behave." Ainz nodded in satisfaction.

As a follower of an adult, it is natural to take care of all of this.

……

Shen Ming arrived at the World Tree.

The Upper Realm is located in the canopy of the World Tree. Compared to the Middle and Lower Realms, the Star Path is like being in a dense forest with lush foliage.

He tried to move forward and immediately discovered that the star path had become extremely unstable.

The surrounding scenery seemed to be reflected in mirrors, layer upon layer, with light and shadow intertwined.

Moreover, it could break at any time.

Shen Ming could still see his own reflection.

It seems that if he makes even the slightest movement, the mirror will shatter into pieces, and he, who is in the middle of it, will also suffer a bad fate.

Because Baiyujing is no longer a complete world.

Therefore, the path through the stars is extremely difficult, and it is impossible to travel to other celestial realms.

Shen Ming couldn't help but think of the Other Shore God Cult's Other Shore Ship, which could ignore the constraints of the World Tree and go anywhere; it was indeed quite capable.

Then, Shen Ming took out the fragments of the world.

The Bone Master said that the repairs would be done here, but he didn't explain how, so it seems that we'll have to figure it out ourselves.

Shen Ming had expected that revealing the fragments would lead to corresponding changes.

There was nothing to be found. Thinking about it, that makes sense. If that were the case, the Demon Court would have restored Baiyujing to its original state long ago.

There was no other way, so Shen Ming had to resort to his trump card.

He took a deep breath, his face serious.

"Old tree, need some trimming?"

Then he shouted.

Sure enough, I could hear the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

At the same time, a strange scene appeared before Shen Ming's eyes.

He saw many glittering light sources at the base of the tree, as if countless lamps were hanging there.

The fragment of the world in Shen Ming's hand reacted.

These light sources are the energy and key to the restoration.

However, Shen Ming thought of the law of conservation of all things and guessed that it wasn't that simple.

"Do these luminous bodies correspond to the continents of the Lower Three Realms?" he asked.

The rustling sound rang out again, and Shen Ming received the answer he had expected.

"If the money is used to repair Baiyujing, what will happen to these continents?" Shen Ming asked.

The answer was obvious. Shen Ming's expression changed, and he said with dissatisfaction, "Explain things clearly next time. You almost committed the same crime as the Divine Court."

Repairing a celestial realm requires sacrificing thousands of lower realm continents.

Those continents will shatter, and all living beings will face catastrophe.

"..." World Tree.

"Cough cough, it's not your fault, it's not your fault. Is there any other way?"

This was the first time Shen Ming had ever felt the emotions of the World Tree.

Helplessness, grievance, and a little bit of anger.

However, the World Tree immediately offered a second solution.

The change Shen Ming witnessed was that this time the entire World Tree was revealed, with a black halo appearing throughout the myriad realms.

"This is... a forbidden zone!"

Shen Ming sensed a familiar feeling from it.

Forbidden zones of life exist in almost every realm of the universe, and are unaffected by the Nine Realms.

It's like a malignant tumor rooted in the world.

"It can also be used to repair Baiyujing? What was the price this time?" Shen Ming asked.

The World Tree provides the answer: all forbidden creatures and dark forces will erupt in a final counterattack.

"Wouldn't that trigger a catastrophe?" Shen Ming said helplessly.

Seemingly anticipating Shen Ming's reaction, World Tree immediately responded.

"Oh? You can concentrate them on the star path and let me handle it?"

Every forbidden zone has its ruler.

Shen Ming had seen it on the moon; it was no match for him.

However, repairing Baiyujing would require hundreds of forbidden zones, meaning hundreds of forbidden zone lords and forbidden creatures would appear before one's eyes.

Tianpeng's power did not improve with his cultivation level; it remained at the initial level.

They held an absolute advantage in the battle on the moon and in the forbidden zone.

It's absolutely impossible to handle hundreds of them at the same time.

"This method is still too demanding in terms of operation. Is there a simpler and more efficient way?" Shen Ming said.

"..."

The World Tree once again showed its helplessness.

Most beings are unsure whether the World Tree is conscious, because they have never been able to communicate with it.

Where else can you find a question-and-answer session like Shen Ming's?

After a moment, the World Tree still provided a solution.

"Hmm? We can deal with them one by one, one by one? You should have said so earlier!" Shen Ming nodded in satisfaction. The World Tree was still not very smart and needed to be guided step by step.
