CHAPTER 595: CHAPTER 380: IMMORTAL EMPEROR CANDIDATE

Di Jun’s mind stirred, and he appeared within the Heavenly Dao Space.

Donghuang Taiyi was here, using the laws he had comprehended and the path he had chosen to interact with the entire Heavenly Realm.

The laws related to the path that Donghuang Taiyi had comprehended kept flowing into the Law Throne.

Similarly, new laws would also emerge from the Law Throne, which after Donghuang Taiyi had comprehended, he would integrate into his own path.

In Di Jun’s eyes, the process of Donghuang Taiyi interacting with the Heavenly Realm was not rapid, but it was steady and reliable.

If nothing unexpected occurred, the day of Donghuang Taiyi’s attaining sainthood might not be far off.

Di Jun’s consciousness merely glanced at Donghuang Taiyi and did not pay too much attention to him.

His consciousness entered the Law Throne, and he saw those golden eyes deep within the Law Throne.

This was the gateway connecting the Heavenly Realm Space to the Primordial Heavenly Dao, the place where the Primordial Heavenly Dao interacted with the laws within the Heavenly Realm.

Likewise, most of the Primordial Heavenly Dao Laws that Di Jun had comprehended were also emerging from here.

Now, countless laws of the Primordial Heavenly Dao were continuously blending into the Heavenly Realm from here.

Originally, this golden eye, the connection between the Primordial Dao and the Heavenly Realm Space, belonged to the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

However, after Di Jun had paid a tremendous amount of merit, he gained control over the entire Heavenly Realm, naturally including this gateway as well, and it had already been refined by Emperor Jun.

At this moment, Di Jun’s consciousness sensed the golden eyes, feeling the vast laws pouring into the gateway.

However, these laws did not pass directly through the portal, as if they were waiting for something.

At the same time, Di Jun’s consciousness also sensed a large amount of laws resonating with the marks of thunder inside his body.

In an instant, Di Jun understood what the laws that were about to flood into the Heavenly Realm were related to.

These were laws relating to Heavenly Punishment.

Remembering this, Di Jun’s consciousness stirred, and the golden eyes deep within the Law Throne suddenly opened, endless laws from the Primordial Heavenly Dao poured in, entering the Heavenly Realm’s Law Throne.

The laws involving Heavenly Punishment, emerging from the golden eyes, followed by flowing out of the Law Throne, spreading continuously throughout the Heavenly Realm Space.

At this time, Donghuang Taiyi naturally noticed this change. He slowly opened his eyes, sensing the suddenly spreading laws.

Donghuang Taiyi, who was here contemplating the laws emerging from the Law Throne, had a certain understanding of the sudden emergence of laws in the Heavenly Dao Space.

This sudden outbreak and continuous spread of numerous laws within the Heavenly Dao Space were undoubtedly abnormal.

Just as he was about to investigate further, Di Jun’s voice appeared in his ears.

"Taiyi, there is no need to concern yourself too much with these laws."

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi discarded the thought of further investigation, but he did not continue to contemplate the Heavenly Realm either, instead he quietly waited.

He wanted to see how long these suddenly emerged laws could last.

At this moment, the boundless laws related to Heavenly Punishment, emerging from the Heavenly Dao Space, blended into the Heavenly Realm.

In an instant, all beings within the Heavenly Court felt the weight of authority landing on their shoulders.

After all, what Emperor Jun had said in the Purple Cloud Palace was to let the Heavenly Court administer punishment on behalf of heaven. So now, the beings of the Heavenly Court naturally took up this duty.

However, despite the surprise at this situation, the beings of the Heavenly Court did not feel any panic, they methodically sensed and inspected their authority.

In this situation, they could naturally feel the responsibilities and also became enlightened to the substance of those responsibilities.

In the end, it boiled down to just two words: Punish evil!

At this point, Di Jun’s consciousness returned to the Purple Cloud Palace, and he couldn’t help but think.

Punish evil?

If there is only punishment, then where does rewarding goodness lie?

Could it be that the duty to reward goodness falls on the Immortal Court?

This would mean that the current Heavenly Court has the authority to impose punishment but not the authority to grant rewards.

Or perhaps, Heavenly Dao would not entrust such the authority to reward to any being or any force?

After all, in the Primordial era, the greatest reward is none other than merit.

Once the power to bestow rewards falls into the hands of beings, this merit could also become a source of chaos.

Regarding this, Di Jun only speculated and was unconcerned.

After all, what he said was to administer punishment on behalf of heaven, and it was quite normal not to include the administration of rewards.

Moreover, as Di Jun’s Primordial Spirit was browsing through the information brought by the authority, he finally realized why Heavenly Dao would so readily relinquish the authority of Heavenly Punishment.

Because the Primordial Heavenly Dao also needed beings who would control this authority to help it accomplish something, something that was within Di Jun’s expectations.

That is the Heavenly Tribulation.

Just as Emperor Jun had previously guessed, there were more and more beings within the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

With such a large base of mortal beings, the number of Cultivators was also increasing.

Now that Di Jun and even the Heavenly Court controlled the authority of Heavenly Punishment, naturally, the restriction of Cultivators also fell upon Di Jun and the Immortal Court.

However, the Primordial era has not yet reached such a stage, it’s just that under the projection of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, such times will come.

These speculations in Di Jun’s eyes were nothing but ways to limit the number of Cultivators through Heavenly Tribulation.

If simple Tribulations were not enough, Di Jun remembered that in the legends of his previous life, there were also the methods of the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations.
