Transformation by blood donation is not difficult for the countless mosquitoes who dwell in the blood sea, as the blood-winged black mosquito itself is a powerful being capable of controlling blood. However, at the moment when it was decapitated by the Heaven-destroying Sword, all its vitality was consumed by the ghost soul on the sword, and all its external hands were also destroyed by Qian Tian Array, which followed the traces of its true body to track back and smash them one by one.
This guy is also tough. With all vitality gone from his body, relying on the last bit of survival instinct, he stumbles and sits down next to a tree with his headless body, uttering a rambling murmur that seems to be either lamentation or curse.
The phoenix clicked in amazement. This creature has a bit of the characteristics of a cockroach or a fly—its head cut off and it can still live for a while. Impressive!
She opened her mouth and said, "Mosquito Immortal, kill yourself. Don't make meaningless struggles like this, or else it will bring people to ridicule."
The Mosquito Dao Ren has died.
It wasn't because of the Phoenix's curse that the Mosquito Dao Ren died, but rather because the instincts within his body, which belonged to insects, couldn't control the body of a quasi-holy being. These instincts couldn't transform into enough vitality, and in the end, the Mosquito Dao Ren fell completely after drinking a cup of tea.
With his death, both the insect creatures outside the array and those inside went mad with shrieks. Without the suppression and control of Mosquito Dao Ren, it was not difficult to deal with insect creatures that were acting purely on instinct. It was unnecessary for the Celestial Army to take action, as they would have killed and devoured each other in a frenzy.
The task of the Star Emperor Tai Bai and the Phoenix was to kill the Mosquito Dao Ren, to bring an end to the chaos in the True Realm, and to deal with the troubles caused by those insects — none of which were their concern.
Carrying out orders, doing nothing else.
Although the Mosquito Dao Ren is merely a quasi-holy being, compared to Yang Mei, its concentration of spiritual energy within its body is far lower. However, a mosquito's leg is still flesh, and it holds value in the main universe of Hongwang. Therefore, we must take advantage of this opportunity and quickly bring it back.
The Phoenix wanted to take this opportunity to deal with the Pipu again, but this thing had been killed by the Mosquito Dao Ren countless times before, which had significantly reduced its malevolence.
The True Realm is now like a pigsty, filled with fierce-looking blood beasts and strange insects everywhere. Their presence will contaminate one's spiritual awareness, making it difficult for her to identify them all. For a moment, she didn't know where the Pipu had hidden.
Since this thing is unable to return to the Purple Micro-space on its own, Phoenix also didn't bother to care about it.
"Old Star Lord, let's return to report to the emperor."
"What you said makes sense."
They hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, collecting the bodies of their soldiers and placing them on flying boats, preparing to take them back to heaven.
Afterward, they distributed the remaining elixirs, potent medicines, and talismans according to the degree of merit.
It's like the last-minute spending at the end of the year. If you don't use it, bringing it back will be a waste. It's better to distribute it and buy some goodwill.
Phoenix and the Star Emperor Tai Bai won a decisive victory against the Mosquito Dao Ren in this expedition, so they would certainly be promoted upon their return. However, what rewards would the ordinary soldiers receive? The ones guarding the gates would continue to guard them, and those who rolled up curtains would keep doing so. Many celestial warriors depend on these small benefits.
Hou Tian was fully aware of this. The Celestial Court was just a large company, and he was merely a manager. The Celestial Court could not be considered his private property, and as long as the overall direction is correct, it's fine. Each elixir and weapon should be carefully inspected, but if one haggles over every detail, then no one would be willing to serve the Celestial Court wholeheartedly.
The remaining spiritual materials and elixirs were all distributed, resulting in a surge in morale among the troops. Subsequently, they activated the inter-dimensional flying boat and returned to the main world of Honghuang.
Hou Tian personally welcomed them, and the two Commanders of Expedition were filled with gratitude and said they would be willing to offer their lives to serve the emperor. With a deep understanding between the king and his officials, the scene was incredibly harmonious.
Hou Tian personally examined the Mosquito Dao Ren's body. On their way back, they had already sewn back the head and feet that had been cut off. It was easy to sew back a head, but how could they sew six hoof-sized feet onto a humanoid body?
The idea came from the Phoenix, who suggested that Old Zhu stack the three hooves and sew them together to form a leg. One leg was stitched with three hooves, making the body appear to have a pair of perfectly proportioned two-meter-long legs at this point.
"Very good, very good!" Hou Tian praised them twice.
Then it was the much-anticipated moment — the promotion ceremony.
The Phoenix, who was originally the lowest-ranked among the Four Holy Sages of the North Pole as the Divine Spirit Ningying True Lord, took a step forward and became the third-ranked Yi Sheng Bao De True Lord.
The Divine Spirit Ningying True Lord, also known as Zhenwu General, had some significance of a military commander in the Four Holy Sages of the North Pole.
The Yi Sheng Bao De True Lord had taken a step forward, with the military position being Heishasha General
In the army, he was previously the military training general, but now he is a formal general in command of troops.
If he continued to advance, it would be the Heavenlyaid Vice-Commander and the Heaven-prestigious Grand Marshal.
As for her Zhenwu General, she should have resigned from the position, but now there was no one in heaven who could take over her responsibilities. Old Zhu and Old Xiong were too junior to replace her, so she could only continue to serve in dual roles. Every year, she would receive an extra offering of incense, and during festivals and holidays, she would receive more spiritual rice and spirit wine.
The Star Emperor Tai Bai also took the opportunity to advance a level, from the original Western Golden Virtue Tai Bai Star Lord to the Western Touring Inspector, gaining the right to supervise the Western world. It was said so, but in reality, he was asked to supervise the Western religion and monitor the two Western Holy Sages? Even if he concealed his strength, he wouldn't dare go. He is more like a military minister responsible for handling state affairs before Hou Tian, or a role akin to a secretary.
Gao Ming and Gao Jue have contributed greatly, and their sins have been pardoned. Their bodies will be rebuilt by the Celestial Court's Merit-making Department.
These two have now been listed among the immortals. They have received the titles of "Thousand Miles' Eye" and "Ear for Hearing the Wind," respectively, and their usual duties are to monitor the three realms.
What? You ask when can we rest? Monitoring the three realms is an incredibly important job that absolutely cannot be neglected, so of course, it's a full-time job without days off! This job is too crucial; even if Hou Tian fell, they would not lose their jobs. They can keep doing it until the primeval chaos breaks apart.
The Dragon Clan suffered heavy losses, especially true dragons like Panlong. Hou Tian, in accordance with their wishes, promoted Aoguang to an official position. It might be because the Dragon Clan offered too much that he decided to follow the example set by Phoenix and have Aoguang train at the position of Huode Star Lord.
The Dragon Clan spent a lot of money, and with their great achievements this time, they even sent a dragon king who could control clouds and rain to manage the heavenly fire energy. It's somewhat strange to send someone who specializes in controlling weather to manage such a significant aspect.
Hou Tian, after considering opinions from all sides, promoted Aoguang to the last position among the Six Directors of Nandou, as the Duke of Defying Destiny.
Tianfu Star (Lord of Fate), Tianliang Star (Lord of Longevity), Tianji Star (Lord of Ascension), Tiantong Star (Lord of Profound Calculation), Tianxiang Star (Lord of Fortune), and Qishou Star (Lord of Defying Misfortune) are collectively known as the "Six Directors Stars."
The guanlou and pomsu, which appear frequently in web novels, are both part of the Beidou constellation and are subordinates of the Ziweidian Emperor.
The Qishou Star is located in the Nandou constellation, under the command of the South Pole Immortal Emperor, who is also respectfully known as the "Jade Pure Emperor." His usual residence is called "Gao Shang Shenqiao Yuqing Mansion," and from the name, one can tell about his origin.
The Qiulong, who committed a "serious crime" earlier, was also pardoned due to his significant achievements, so he was sent back where he came from!
What? Kong Xuan and the God of Thunder are still fighting in the Chaos realm? What does this have to do with Hou Tian?
All parties were overjoyed.
