Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

In other worlds, there might be nothing that can be done about this, because selfless leaders grow old and die.

But it's different here.

As long as Jiang Hao keeps getting stronger, he can live forever.

As long as Jiang Hao is still alive, the Heavenly Court will not fall.

If someone commits a crime, they should be dealt with according to the rules. If many people are punished, it will have an effect, and those people will naturally learn what lines they cannot cross and what things they cannot do.

Lingbao Tianzun remained silent for a long while before speaking: "I have never thought of or seen such a situation before."

He looked at Jiang Hao and sighed.

"Although there was a Heavenly Court in the mythological era, to be honest, the mythological Heavenly Court is more like a large research institute compared to your Heavenly Court."

"A group of powerful individuals gather together, spending their days figuring out how to achieve immortality, how to push cultivation methods to their limits, how to transcend worldly concerns, how to transfer to the lower realms, and what grievances the lesser people might have... As long as they don't cause too much trouble, basically no one cares."

Lingbao Tianzun paused for a moment, his tone now filled with genuine emotion and admiration:

"It wasn't until I saw how you did things and how your system of laws operated that I realized the meaning of the name 'Heavenly Court' truly comes to mind."

"Establishing rules brings greater order to the heavens. The Dao Venerable is more like a teacher and pathfinder guiding everyone. Compared to you, you are more like the true Heavenly Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao found it quite normal:

"Times are different, so the things that need to be done are naturally different. Back in the myth era, it was the beginning, the pioneering era, and the most important thing was to find the way."

The Daoist master brought together the most capable people to tackle challenges together, illuminating the path for future generations. This was a great achievement and a meritorious deed of that era.

Standing on the road they had cleared, we naturally saw a completely different scene.

There's no question of who's superior or inferior; it's just a matter of being born in a particular era and doing what's appropriate for that era.

After listening, Lingbao Tianzun sighed deeply.

"Do what is appropriate for the times you live in... Well said."

He raised his head, his eyes clear, and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"But there are very few people in ancient history who can see this era clearly and who have the ability and courage to actually do it."

The emergence of the Daoist Master and the establishment of the Heavenly Court in the mythological era was a stroke of luck for that era.

"Now that you exist in all the heavens and myriad realms, and that you have built the Heavenly Court, it is the good fortune of this era and the blessing of all living beings."

……

Not long after, Xiao Dong and a group of core members of the Law Enforcement Hall were summoned to the Lingxiao Hall.

The Heavenly Court's Enforcement Hall, under the leadership of Xiao Dong, now has eighteen enforcement teams, each commanded by a captain.

Those who occupy this position are all carefully selected, and are all quasi-emperors with both meritorious service and good character.

At this moment, the eighteen captains, along with Xiao Dong, stood solemnly in the hall.

They varied in appearance and build; some had dragon heads and human bodies, and possessed a majestic and imposing presence.

Some have phoenix wings on their backs, and their divine light is restrained.

Some of them exude a demonic aura, with a hidden malevolent energy.

There were also outstanding human heroes who displayed their talents.

Lin Mo was also among them, standing tall and straight.

Facing Jiang Hao on the imperial throne, this group of law enforcement giants, who were powerful enough to shake a star field in the outside world, all restrained their majesty at this moment, and their eyes were filled with only heartfelt excitement and respect.

Xiao Dong was able to maintain his composure, but there was a surge of emotion in his eyes.

The eighteen captains, led by Lin Mo, stared intently, as if believers had found their faith.

"You've done a great job over the years."

This simple affirmation caused a slight tremor in the bodies of His Highness and the others, as if the countless years of toil, pressure, and difficult choices they had endured had all received the highest recognition at this moment.

"To share the burdens of the Heavenly Emperor and uphold the Heavenly Laws is our duty!"

The crowd responded in unison, their voices resonating like iron, powerful and resounding.

Jiang Hao nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the group of core members below, who came from different races but were gathered together by the same belief. He then changed the subject:

"However, since I attained enlightenment, the human race has accumulated fortune and its status has become increasingly prestigious. This is the reward of Heaven for diligence and the result of the wisdom of all races."

However, as the tide rises, even the clearest streams inevitably carry away silt. With prolonged comfort and the accumulation of power, many arrogant and even reckless individuals have emerged within the clan, abusing their clan status to act with impunity.

"Now, the time has come. Taking this Wang family case as a starting point, and led by the Hall of Law Enforcement, we should launch a thorough purge within the human race."

The target is those parasites who rely on their powerful connections to trample on the weak among their own kind, undermine internal discipline, and tarnish the reputation of humanity. Regardless of their origins, cultivation levels, or how deep their connections, once verified, they will be severely punished according to the law, without any leniency!

Xiao Dong and Lin Mo beside him exchanged a glance, both seeing the flames of excitement in each other's eyes.

Behind them, the captains from different races such as dragons, phoenixes, demons, and humans also had solemn and determined expressions.

They were by no means bloodthirsty, but having witnessed the darkness of the heavens, they knew all too well that only by sweeping away the filth with the force of thunder could they protect this hard-won prosperity.

Only in this way can we live up to the heavy trust placed in us by the Heavenly Emperor and the faith that all races and people place in the name of the Heavenly Court.

"Your subjects obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree!" Xiao Dong was the first to kneel on one knee, his voice resolute.

"We will live up to the trust placed in us, cleanse the world of its filth, and restore a bright and clear heaven and earth!"

Lin Mo and the other seventeen captains echoed in unison.

Thus began an internal storm that would sweep across all realms of humanity and last for a century.

Over the next century, the Hall of Law Enforcement traversed one prosperous star field after another, visiting ancient families and powerful sects.

One scandal after another that had been covered up was exposed, and one powerful figure after another who was once untouchable was dragged to the dock.

There are powerful clan sons who, relying on their family's influence, forcibly seize other people's partners and cruelly kill their competitors.

There are sect elders who abuse their power to amass wealth and suppress dissent.

There are scoundrels who collude with external forces and betray the interests of their own people...

Wailing, pleas for mercy, threats, curses... all vanished in the face of the majestic heavenly laws and irrefutable evidence.

One by one, heads that were once high and mighty rolled down, and bodies whose cultivation had been destroyed were thrown into the Star Prison.

Blood and fire intertwine, but only to cleanse the filth and restore clarity.

At first, some were frightened, some were dissatisfied, and secretly criticized the Heavenly Emperor for being too ruthless to his own people.

But as time went on, countless ordinary cultivators and weak families who had long been oppressed were finally exonerated.

When the atmosphere within the human race was cleansed, and when unity, cooperation, and fair competition replaced the previous infighting and darkness, more and more cheers and support spread like wildfire.

"Good riddance! These parasites should have been eliminated long ago!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is wise and benevolent; this is truly a plan for the long-term well-being of our human race!"

"From now on, we junior cultivators finally have something to look forward to!"

Not only within the human race, but also throughout the myriad realms, all forces that were paying attention to this matter were shocked and moved.

The old dragon in the Dragon Realm, coiled in its lair, let out a long sigh:

"To be so ruthless to one's own race, to have such courage, to be so selfless... The Chaos Emperor is truly no ordinary person. To live in the same era as him is both a blessing and the greatest pressure."

The phantom of the Heavenly Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm remained silent for a long time in the ancient mirror, finally uttering only two words: "Terrifying."

This kind of ruler, who is both extremely ruthless and extremely just, sends chills down the spines of anyone with ill intentions.

This thought crossed the minds of countless powerful individuals.

"Fortunately, we didn't mess around back then. This Heavenly Emperor seems to have no personal feelings at all, only the order he believes in."

Under Jiang Hao's rule, no ethnic group or power can enjoy privileges outside the law.

This certainly terrified many vested interests, but it also brought unprecedented stability and order to the heavens.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Jiang Hao listened calmly to the feedback from all sides.

He was not particularly surprised by the amazement and praise from all walks of life.

He was simply doing what he believed was right and necessary.
