It was over. The war had ended. All across the continent, people were celebrating. At first, many were skeptical thinking that the Heaven Dou Empire had just won out and were now going to rule.
Then there was an announcement made that all the people were invited to Spirit City as it was the most central location to see how things would change.
Not many wanted to go and witness the new rule set up to make their lives harder. Running an empire isn't cheap and even when the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire were ruled by their respective emperors, people still had to pay an absurd amount of taxes that led to many living poor lives.
That all changed when they heard that the one making the announcement were a God and his Goddess wives.
Even if it may sound like a joke or a lie, just the slight possibility of seeing a deity was far too enticing for the people to ignore and they went anyways.
When they arrived, many who had been arrested and forced to live in Spirit City before were stunned by the massive changes that had happened.
The streets were clean all over instead of the main street leading to the entrance of the Supreme Pontiff's hall. There were children laughing and people were enjoying themselves.
There was no more forced laborers or the stench that was there last time.
As the soldiers and officials welcomed everyone, they crowded as best they could around the main podium.
For those too far away, they crowded in the Great Soul Arenas to hear the announcement made over the soul sphere. A new invention made in conjunction with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the blacksmiths of Gengxin City. The idea was taken by the sphere that Bo Saixi used to monitor Sea God Island when she was there.
It was something that intrigued Lou Gao greatly. Known primarily for wanting to make the greatest weapons, Tang Zhen coaxed him into saying that if he eventually made a portable orb, he could give them to his assistants and he could talk to them wherever they were.
Thinking of all the possibilities of being able to order his subordinates around to collect the best materials, Lou Gao was all in.
Unfortunately, his assistants all spat blood. This God was throwing them under the bus to have their Teacher make something for him.
On top of that, it seems like their lives were going to be much harder.
To their dismay, the giant sphere was made in record time and shortly after the orb followed.
The assistants were dropping like flies as even when they were sleeping, their Teacher's booming voice would echo from the orb waking them from their sleep.
It wasn't long before Si Long begged Ning Fengzhi to take him and the others in under his wing only to be dragged off by an angry Lou Guo who had chased them all the way there.
Back with the people, they were all waiting for the appearance of the God and Goddesses.
Xue Beng first came out and introduced himself and made a speech promising to watch over all and would make changes to things after discussing with his court.
Finally, being the composed of the bunch, Bo Saixi appeared in all her glory as just her appearance caused the bodies of men to stir from her beauty. It was only made worse when the other Goddesses appeared. There was a massive river of blood throughout the continent and many passed out bodies.
Then Tang Zhen appeared next to them causing mass amounts of shrieking everywhere.
Tang Zhen made Xue Beng promise to make changes and reforms around the continent to benefit all the people and to make sure that there would be regular checks for corruption in smaller kingdoms. They would have to split the organization of the continent into smaller bits just to manage.
Spirit City being the most central location would become the new Imperial Capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
There would also be a major road project to be built that connected all kingdoms and created safe passageways for commoners to get around.
High level soul masters were involved in the project to help with the heavy labor or creating paths.
All in all, the people were very happy with the changes and were thankful to Tang Zhen.
The days were filled with happiness and fulfillment. People were able to work, receive pay, then go back to their families after a hard day of work and enjoy a meal together. All across the empire, families had enough food to make sure no one went hungry.
For areas previously destroyed or affected by the Martial Soul Hall or Star Luo Empire's injustice, Ah Yin and Ye Lingling blessed and healed the land repairing it and making the soil fertile again to make sure that people could plant crops again.
They were rewarded with a whole day and night of passion with their husband leaving them a shaking and wet mess.
There was one amusing event that happened. Tian Shui Academy was forced to close. They were in a decline after Shui Bing'er left all those years ago after they tried to sell her off.
When the empire went and the inspector did a little more digging, they found that Shui Yue'er and the old Tian Shui team were running a prostitution ring for any girls that were up and coming beauties. They could not stand when a younger girl came into the academy was prettier than them. So they broke them and sold them to nobles.
Once found out, they were brought out in front of Tang Zhen and his wives to judge them.
It eventually led to Shui Yue'er calling Shui Bing'er an unwanted whore who just happened to get lucky and how unfair it was that she was not a Goddess.
The public grew into an outrage as they started to throw things at Shui Yue'er for daring to call one of their Goddesses such things.
They all wanted to have her executed. Shui Yue'er started to beg for forgiveness and asked to be spared.
Shui Bing'er ever the kind heart wanted to just leave her in jail but her sisters refused, saying that Shui Yue'er deserved punishment for harming others.
After hearing their logic, she agreed which led to Shui Yue'er to live out the rest of her days in the south near a desert in the scorching heat that would end up damaging her "flawless" skin and making her age quicker from the constant heat exposure.
Shui Yue'er watched in horror as guards dragged her away as the crowd of people praised Shui Bing'er for her wise and fair judgement.
After stabilizing the continent, it was finally time to leave. Tang Zhen had a bad feeling about the lower realm for a while now and it was getting worse.
His wives all had their heartfelt goodbyes with their friends and families and Tang Zhen was once again threatened by their fathers and grandfathers to take care of them.
As they started to ascend, they were drawn into a portal that brought them to a space with a large pond and a house. They approached the home and saw three figures sitting down and drinking tea.
Tang Zhen knew this was not the lower realm as it did not feel like anything so it had to be a separate dimensional space.
"I see you have finally come."
"Asura?!" Tang Zhen was surprised. He thought he was dead.
"Mhm.....Although I am not alive. I am just a projection of my original's will and his message left for you. His successor."
"Hello Ning Rongrong." The Nine Colored Goddess said softly with a smile.
"Hello my lady." She replied with a respectful bow.
"Yo! Little Sister Erlong!" The Fire God said.
Liu Erlong got a tick on her forehead. This little kid was calling HER little sister. He looked like he was 12 but she still gritted her teeth and showed respect for her predecessor.
"Hello my lord." She ground out.
Everyone was giggling at her trying to keep it together.
"So. If you are dead, and you are here, does that mean those two are also dead?" Tang Zhen not wanting to waste time went straight into the point.
"Yes.....they were killed as was I." Asura said.
"By whom?" Tang Zhen asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Rakshasa."
".....I was afraid of that."
"We are not all either, she killed many others but she ended up destroying their essence completely. We were lucky enough to leave a bit of our power and conscience to warn you all."
"Warn us of what?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Rakshasa has been my counterpart and rival for over 10,000 years. The God of Slaughter is supposed to judge gods if they break any of the rules. She never took that responsibility and only wanted to slaughter everything."
"That bitch turned my husband against me. She slept with him and sank her claws into him and he eventually betrayed me." The Nine Colored Goddess said with a sob.
"*Sigh* I died trying to protect big sister." The Fire God said sadly.
".....She seems to be just using herself to gain control of the other gods."
"Yes....she found a method that enslaves the men to her will but to do that, they must be at their most vulnerable which ends up being during the action of procreation." The Nine Colored Goddess said trying to sound elegant.
"So she just fucks other gods and turns them into slaves?" Ning Rongrong said at full blast causing everyone to go silent.
"*Cough* Yes you can put it that way."
"....So who is actually still alive and not enslaved?" Tang Zhen asked wondering.
"The last time we were alive, it was only the God of Evil and God of Destruction. They had their own plans for the divine realm before Rakshasa attacked. The only saving grace is that they are both God Kings but they will eventually be worn down.....unfortunately the Goddess of Life perished when Rakshasa killed her first and that caused the realm to destabilize and start tearing itself apart. There is no more balance in the divine realm." The Fire God said.
"With myself dead and Rakshasa abandoning her position to pursue the God of Evil, there is no longer a God of Slaughter to maintain law and order among the gods....But the Dutchman must have a captain."
"Part of the ship, part of the crew."
-Take 2-
"With myself dead and Rakshasa abandoning her position to pursue the God of Evil, there is no longer a God of Slaughter to maintain law and order among the gods. With no law and order, there can be no balance which will eventually lead to to destruction of the divine realm." Asura said.
"But how is Rakshasa even able to keep her Godhood with no realm?" Ye Lingling asked.
"She is taking the energy from the other Gods to sustain herself."
"Enough. It's time, we have to make sure the realm stabilizes."
"Do what must be done Lord Zhen. Do not hesitate, show no mercy." Asura said sternly.
Another portal opened as Tang Zhen and the girls stepped through.
On the other side, what awaited them was a sea of fire. There was nothing left.
"This is supposed to be the Divine Realm? What happened here?" Xiao Wu asked incredulously.
"Does Rakshasa really want to destroy everything?" Qian Renxue asked.
"How can you call this Heaven, it's definitely hell." Dugu Yan was indignant. She wanted to see the celestial scenery.
Tang Zhen felt a presence approaching and turned to look in the distance. His senses were far sharper than his wives and seeing him turn around, Zhu Zhuqing walked up and held onto his arm.
"Big Brother Tang Zhen, what's wrong?" Her soft and sweet voice melted his heart as he turned to look at her with a smile and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"We have company."
Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi also felt a familiar energy.
"What is he doing here?"
"Well, he isn't alone." Tang Zhen said. He was ready to fight. He knew he could deal with Poseidon as he naturally countered him he felt like the others were not as strong as his wives so he was not worried.
Looks like the purge is about to begin.
