In other words, the Divine Mystery Dynasty hadn't given up on them as they had imagined.
It seemed that the Court of Life was pronouncing judgment for the weak, but in reality, it was proving their innocence!
Realizing this, all the prisoners, including Gu Jun, had a glint of light flash in their eyes. They had somewhat misunderstood the Divine Mystery Dynasty. Perhaps the Divine Mystery Dynasty was just going through a formality to consolidate its own rule.
“I wonder what we should do when the time comes?” Thinking about it, Gu Jun looked at Dark Zhang Wei and said.
“You don't need to do anything when the time comes. When the judicial god announces your crimes, you only need to speak and let me handle all the defense. Although it may not necessarily lead to acquittal, it can at least allow you to survive,” Dark Zhang Wei said mysteriously.
This group of people had extraordinary cultivation. It would be a pity to kill them. The dynasty had decided to imprison them and have them continuously produce divine energy to enhance the dynasty's foundation.
Gu Jun and the other bronze figures exchanged glances, their eyes narrowed slightly. If it was as Zhang Wei said, it meant that the initiative was not in their hands.
However, they didn't have the initiative to begin with. If Dark Zhang Wei really represented the Divine Mystery Dynasty in their defense, perhaps entrusting everything to him was their best choice.
“Alright.” In the end, Gu Jun agreed.
Afterwards, there was another round of conversation. Dark Zhang Wei pretended to understand the deeds by which Gu Jun and the others could exonerate themselves, and then turned and left.
Gu Jun and the others watched Dark Zhang Wei's departing figure. His appearance made them breathe a sigh of relief.
The Divine Mystery Dynasty had not abandoned their strength after all. After all, there were five half-step Divine Kings and over a thousand bronze immortals here.
......
On the other side.
A large number of cultivators and star creatures successively gathered on the Eastern Wasteland, without exception, all wanting to witness the scene of the former rulers of the Desolate Ancient Realm being sentenced.
After all, the Ancient Gods were high above, with boundless majesty.
Even if they fell, they would all perish in battle.
Throughout history, the Divine Mystery Dynasty was the first to bring the Ancient Gods to the tribunal of all beings.
Therefore, whether it was to witness the sentencing of their enemies or to witness history, it could not be missed.
Time passed little by little.
Finally, the day of the Court of Life's sentencing arrived.
A divine hall exuding a vast and majestic aura slowly manifested from the void, covering most of the Eastern Wasteland.
“What a magnificent scene.”
Many creatures had originally come to see the sentencing of Gu Jun and the others, but at this moment, the appearance of the Court of Life caused their minds to tremble slightly.
The divine hall had no roof, covering an area of hundreds of millions of miles. The thirteen divine seats floated at the highest point of the divine hall, releasing dazzling divine light. The twenty-four seats below adorned the four sides of the divine hall, and below that were countless stone seats. The entire divine hall was majestic and vast, with inherent majesty that inspired awe.
Soon, under the explanation of the dynasty's divine officials, these gathered creatures realized that the billions of stone seats under the twenty-four seats of the divine hall were prepared for them, so they took their seats one after another.
“I never thought that we would have such a day.” The bronze half-step Divine Kings and others had their hands and feet locked by the chains of order. Although they had cultivated to this realm and were confident in their perfect state of mind, they could not help but feel palpitations in their hearts when they saw the scene of the divine hall.
It should be known that these onlookers used to prostrate themselves at their feet. During this trial, they would inevitably point fingers at them, which made them feel greatly humiliated.
“It doesn't matter. That brother has already promised us that this time he will let us live. Losing some face is nothing,” Gu Jun glanced at a certain law seat of the twenty-four and said in a low voice.
First, preserve their lives. As long as they lived, everything lost could be made up for again.
...
“Such a big scene...”
“I wonder what kind of punishment the Ancient God Court Master and others will receive?”
“It shouldn't be all thunder and no rain, right!”
On the audience seats, countless creatures were discussing.
Yan Liuguang was also in one of the seats. He looked around, gazing at all parts of the divine hall, searching for the figures of the Ancient God Court Master and others.
“Look, the Ancient God Court Master and others are being escorted up!”
Just as he couldn't find them and was feeling slightly anxious, a loud shout suddenly rang out.
Everyone focused their eyes and looked over, only to see a chain of order binding Gu Jun and the others, like a centipede, pulled from a corner of the divine hall to the dock.
“Kill them!”
Someone shouted, and the audience immediately shouted in unison, their killing intent soaring to the sky.
Gu Jun and the others frowned slightly, revealing a hint of gloomy killing intent.
If they were not suppressed by the Divine King's order and rules, they could kill this group of creatures with a single thought.
“Silence!”
At this time,
From the judgment seat at the top of the divine hall, a judicial god spoke.
The aura of immortality spread throughout the divine hall.
Instantly, the entire interior of the divine hall fell silent.
“Gu Jun, as a creature nurtured by the starry sky, you colluded with creatures from other eras due to greed and lust for power... harming trillions of star compatriots, and bringing disaster to the entire starry sky. The crime is punishable by death. Do you admit it?” From the judgment seat, a majestic voice rang out.
“Reporting to the judge, before the opening of the court, we have entrusted all defense to the Law God Zhang Wei. What the Law God Zhang Wei says next is what we say!” Gu Jun looked respectful. He spoke according to Dark Zhang Wei's instructions.
After he finished speaking, he quickly looked at Dark Zhang Wei on the twenty-four seats.
Dark Zhang Wei understood and slowly said:
“Reporting to the honorable judge, although my client Gu Jun's crime is serious, if it weren't for him contacting the forbidden zone in the past and obtaining funding from the forbidden zone, perhaps the entire Desolate Ancient Realm would still be under the enslavement of the Primordial Strong Clans and the Primordial Gods, or rather, everyone in the audience today might not have appeared in the world.”
“Therefore, the death penalty can be waived.”
Dark Zhang Wei's voice spread throughout the divine hall, causing countless people to change their expressions slightly.
Indeed, Gu Jun's actions were indeed infuriating.
However, his contributions to the acquired cultivator lineage were difficult to erase.
Without Gu Jun, their ancestors would likely have just been born and then perished. As descendants, they would have disappeared directly.
“As expected, he is worthy of being a legal pioneer!”
Feeling the subtle changes in the scene, Gu Jun opened his mouth. He didn't expect Dark Zhang Wei to be so helpful.
As a legal god of the Divine Mystery Dynasty, Dark Zhang Wei represented the will of the Divine Mystery Dynasty to some extent. This time, he exonerated him, which obviously meant that the Divine Mystery Dynasty was operating behind the scenes.
This reassured him greatly.
The Divine Mystery Dynasty did intend to release them.
“However, creating a path for the acquired race does not mean that my client Gu Jun can have the right to arbitrarily kill the acquired race. Otherwise, what is the difference between giving birth to children and then cruelly killing and abusing them? Therefore, the living crime is unavoidable!”
“The above is a statement for exemption from the death penalty. My client humbly requests the judge to revise the death sentence and sentence my client Gu Jun to life imprisonment, so that Gu Jun can regret his past in the cosmic prison for the rest of his life!” Dark Zhang Wei paused and said.
“This...” Gu Jun's expression changed slightly. This was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
“At the same time, I also learned that Gu Jun has a good relationship with the Dean of the Ancient God Academy and other giants of the cultivator lineage who were previously imprisoned in the cosmic prison. I hope that the honorable judge can be lenient and imprison Gu Jun in the same prison as them, so that they can have some communication at ordinary times,” Dark Zhang Wei continued.
If the life imprisonment in front only made Gu Jun a little unable to turn the corner, then the declaration of being imprisoned with the Dean of the Ancient God Academy and others made Gu Jun's expression greatly change.
If he was imprisoned with the Dean of the Ancient God Academy and others...
Thinking of what he had done to them in the past, he felt a little shudder.
However, it was too late.
“Approved!”
On the first judgment seat, a black stone was thrown out.
Immediately afterwards,
All the judges threw out black stones.
Ancient, vast intertwined divine power was brewing in the divine hall...
............
Profound Emperor Hall.
The scene of the Court of Life operating was suspended above the main hall.
Everything was clearly visible.
“It seems that this trial operation of the Court of Life did not have any major problems,” the Minister of Revenue said in a low voice at the moment when the judges used the black stones.
Beside him, the Minister of War, the Minister of Personnel, and other high-level officials of the court also nodded.
As a newly established institution used to consolidate the overall situation of the people under the rule of the dynasty, its importance was self-evident.
Naturally, no loss was allowed.
This time, including Dark Zhang Wei's prior understanding of the situation, the defense, and the overall opening of the court, was an exercise for the members of the Court of Life's organization to ensure that they would not make mistakes in their future actions.
And now it seems that everything is fine.
“Your Majesty, should we immediately activate the Court of Life organization next?” The Minister of Revenue looked at Xuan Ming on the imperial seat and asked with cupped hands.
“Activate it.” Xuan Ming nodded.
Since the Court of Life was fine, it would naturally begin to operate immediately, proceeding in the same direction as the dynasty's many institutions.
“This subject obeys the decree.” The Minister of Revenue respectfully retreated.
“You may also retreat.” Xuan Ming glanced at the Minister of War and the others and waved his hand.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The Minister of War and the others respectfully saluted.
...
“The power of the divine path actually crossed the Divine King realm at the very beginning of the surge of faith in the Desolate Ancient Realm.” Watching the departing figures of the Minister of War and the others, Xuan Ming placed his mind on the divine path rules within his body.
From the release of the Court of Life's sentencing news to the present,
The power of faith gathered in his body repeatedly broke through the barriers and reached the Divine King realm.
The Divine King that the divine path broke through was not condensing two Dao fruits, but rather the independent Dao possessed the Divine King's power, which surprised Xuan Ming very much.
“Could it be that a single Dao does not need the fusion and support of other Daos to break through the subsequent realms of the Ancient God, or even become an immortal?” Xuan Ming touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
