In the end, Chu Hao still managed to persuade the Jade Emperor to give up on forcing the position of Gouchen Emperor upon him.
One reason was that Chu Hao's current strength was indeed far from sufficient.
The Gouchen Emperor needed to govern all the demons in the world.
Since returning from Hezhou, North Ju, Chu Hao knew how vast the world was and how many secrets it held. Who knew how many demon clans like Bi Fang were hiding somewhere.
If those demon clans caused trouble, the Gouchen Emperor would be the first to bear the brunt.
Chu Hao didn't want to be beaten up as soon as he took office, losing face like that.
Besides, what good was being the Gouchen Emperor?
The Jade Emperor only mentioned it once and didn't say anything more.
Chu Hao led the demon clan powerhouses to report to the Ninth Level Heavenly Prison.
He left those Golden Immortal powerhouses and Taiyi Golden Immortals to work in the Ninth Level Heavenly Prison, instantly making it the most powerful Heavenly Court work unit in the Three Realms.
After all…
Nowhere else in the world could you find a unit with two Taiyi Golden Immortals and a group of Golden Immortal powerhouses.
Those who reached the Golden Immortal level or above were basically completely independent, having their own dojos and not caring about anything, let alone reporting for duty and doing work.
Even the powerhouses who were sealed on the Investiture of the Gods had their own positions and wouldn't go down to the grassroots level to work.
One can imagine how terrifying the Heavenly Prison, now possessing two Taiyi Golden Immortals and a group of Golden Immortals, truly was!
Even the extremely powerful Seven Great Sages of the Demon Clan in the Lower Realm were only a group of Taiyi Golden Immortals, right?
It was conceivable that in the future, when Chu Hao's Three Realms Law Enforcement Team went out, they would basically sweep away everything!
Nezha secretly vowed to cultivate diligently and not embarrass Chu Hao.
However, how could Chu Hao agree to that?
Chu Hao came to Nezha and took out a purple-golden Yellow Apricot and a Nine-Revolution Golden Pill of Great All-Embracing, handing them to Nezha.
"Young man, you've been cultivating under me for quite some time, haven't you? This is your year-end bonus."
Chu Hao pushed this set of pills, capable of supporting a Golden Immortal powerhouse's cultivation to the Great All-Embracing Golden Immortal level, in front of Nezha.
At that moment, the shock on Nezha's face was simply indescribable.
"This, can I really have these? Boss, boss, I really… I really don't deserve it!"
Nezha was so moved that tears were about to flow.
Any cultivator would be moved to tears upon seeing such a generous gift.
One must know that the making of a Great All-Embracing Golden Immortal required great talent, great opportunity, great perseverance, and countless other conditions, none of which could be lacking.
Even after the Heavenly Court was established for so many years, the number of Great All-Embracing Golden Immortals in the Heavenly Court was very few.
Even tracing back to the incomparably powerful Primordial Era, the number of people who could reach the Great All-Embracing Golden Immortal level was barely the number of the stars in the sky.
And now, Chu Hao was giving out a year-end bonus that would turn Nezha into a Great All-Embracing Golden Immortal in one go. Was that okay?
That was extremely good!
"Work hard, young man! I have high hopes for you! To be honest, if you don't deserve it, no one does."
Chu Hao patted Nezha on the shoulder and smiled.
Nezha had experienced many setbacks along the way and was bound to be as hateful of evil as he was of an enemy.
Especially after personally throwing Mu Zha into prison and arranging for his biological father, Li Jing, Nezha had let go of many obsessions.
Over the years, Nezha had worked diligently and righteously in the Ninth Level Heavenly Prison, without the slightest bias or selfish desire, fulfilling his duties conscientiously.
Therefore, Chu Hao had always been a hands-off manager, but the order of the Three Realms had become more stable and the majesty of the Heavenly Laws had become more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
All of this was due to Nezha's conscientiousness, not harboring evil intentions, and hating evil as he hated an enemy.
Chu Hao had seen everything. If a person like Nezha wasn't given important responsibilities, who else would be worth a second glance?
Seeing Nezha wiping away tears of gratitude, Chu Hao smiled and said:
"Also, that Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Exquisite Pagoda will also be your year-end bonus. From now on, the Ninth Level Heavenly Prison and the Three Realms Law Enforcement Team will all be under your command!"
"That's it. Work hard, brother. I'll take my leave first!"
Chu Hao left Nezha with even more shocking news, and without waiting for Nezha to recover, he turned and left.
When Nezha reacted and wanted to call out to Chu Hao, he found that Chu Hao had already left.
Nezha looked at the Yellow Apricot and the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill of Great All-Embracing in his hands, clenching them tightly, biting his teeth to prevent tears from falling.
Thousands of words ultimately converged into one sentence:
"Chu Hao, thank you. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
The gratitude in Nezha's eyes was indescribable. At this moment, he completely regarded Chu Hao as his own elder brother.
He had never imagined that the warmth of family affection, which he had not experienced in his own family, would actually come from Chu Hao.
Nezha took a deep breath, raised his head, and his eyes were full of determination. For Chu Hao, he was willing to give everything!
Chu Hao would be his own elder brother from now on!
…
Chu Hao brought Bi Fang to the Star Plucking Palace.
Fairy Nishang opened the door and was startled. After all, Bi Fang's existence was difficult for all living beings in the Three Realms to accept.
Chu Hao looked back and saw that Bi Fang was still maintaining the appearance of a dying old man. He couldn't help but frown.
"It must be because you're too ugly that you scared Nishang! You're not allowed to be human from now on. Serve my wife in your original form, without fail!"
Bi Fang: "…"
He wanted to cry. Was it his fault for being ugly?
However, the demon clan transformed for convenience anyway, and they didn't like the human form, so they naturally returned to their original form.
Bi Fang's original form was still very majestic.
His whole body was burning with endless flames, one leg was like a red-crowned crane coldly watching the world, and he was adorned with patterns, imposing and awe-inspiring.
That was much better looking.
After all, he was the Fire God's pet. Why should he be a human?
Chu Hao put his arm around Fairy Nishang and earnestly persuaded her:
"My dear wife, this demon god seems a bit dull and his strength is a bit lacking, but he can take a beating. At a critical moment, I'll feel more at ease if he self-detonates to protect you and me."
Bi Fang: "? ? ?"
Huh?
Bullying a mentally challenged old man?
Speaking of which, why do you always want to self-detonate when protecting? How much do you want me to die?
Fairy Nishang quickly accepted this ugly demon god to protect her.
"But what about you? What will you do?" Fairy Nishang asked worriedly.
Chu Hao touched Fairy Nishang's face.
"Don't worry, silly girl. I've already captured this kind of mentally challenged old bird. He can't protect me anyway. I can take care of myself."
Bi Fang: "…"
Why is it always me who gets hurt?
Can't you be nicer to me?
After arranging Bi Fang, Chu Hao picked up Fairy Nishang and said,
"Oh right, my dear wife, I forgot to tell you the real function of that Spirit Embroidery Floating Dress. Come, let's have an in-depth exchange!"
Fairy Nishang was unable to resist and was carried into the room.
As for the details of using the Spirit Embroidery Floating Dress, I won't say more, for fear of polluting the eyes and ears of you readers.
