Everyone Wants to Make Progress

"A Blood Skull Pill that enhances one's aptitude is actually being sold for five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones?!"

"These resources alone could revitalize a small local sect!"

"A full thousand-fold markup, and it's suspected of involving inhumane alchemy methods!"

"Little Mo, return and report to the Envoy. The evidence is complete. We can make our move!"

Inside a tavern on Carefree Island, the six-rank Discipline and Surveillance Envoy, Adolf Anlan, spoke with impassioned rhetoric.

"Sir, isn't this a bit too hasty? We don't yet have a complete chain of evidence. There's no direct, conclusive proof that Huo Hai and Luo Wutian intentionally allowed this behavior. Acting rashly against two local parent deities could very likely cause local unrest!" His subordinate, Mo Gui, calmly advised.

"Little Mo, that's not quite the right perspective!" Adolf Anlan shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "There isn't much time left for us. As long as we have evidence, we can apprehend them. Once they are apprehended, the evidence chain will naturally be perfected. This is the highest will!"

As one of the former triumvirate elders of the 108 Groups, Anlan had access to very high-level information, but the drawback was...

He had only managed to reach the sixth-rank Heavenly Official position by now, which was quite embarrassing for him!

Just look at Zhou Zheng, also from the elder triumvirate, who was now a third-rank official, holding the powerful position of Deputy Director of the Ascension Bureau.

And Chen Bo, who was similar to himself, had performed a great service and was promoted straight to the fourth rank, now working with Fang Zheng at the Celestial Pivot Academy.

He was the only one stuck in the middle, neither high nor low. How could he not be anxious?

Therefore, he absolutely had to pull off a brilliant reversal!

And cracking down on the six major secret realm pilot zones, where the markup problem was extremely severe, was the cornerstone for his meteoric rise!

Within a limited time, and within the bounds of heavenly rules and regulations, he must reasonably clean up the markup issues in the six major secret realm pilot zones. Only then would he have sufficient merit to convince everyone and secure a promotion from his old group friend, Xiao Chunan!

He really, really wanted to advance!

......

The desire to advance wasn't unique to Adolf Anlan. One could say that aside from those few top-tier second-rank main academy Heavenly Officials who had basically reached the peak, who didn't want to progress?

Especially that batch of original "old-timers" from Group One who came ashore much later.

Because all major departments of the Purple Tenuity Celestial Court were already fully staffed. Before the Purple Tenuity Heavenly Dao was promoted, the slots on the Heavenly Dao Divine Roll were limited, simply unable to release more formal establishment positions for them!

Therefore, the group of Heavenly Officials in the newly established Netherlink Pavilion all had empty titles but had not yet obtained formal establishment on the Heavenly Dao Divine Roll!

This even included the boss of the Netherlink Pavilion—the Little Golden Dragon—who also lacked an establishment!

Of course, the Little Golden Dragon lacked an establishment because his own rank was too high for the Heavenly Dao Divine Roll to bear. Chen Yi merely acted as an intermediary to let the Little Golden Dragon hold a nominal position, but in reality, he couldn't receive the baptism of Heavenly Dao essence.

Although the awesomely powerful Little Golden Dragon didn't need the baptism of Heavenly Dao essence, his subordinates desperately needed it.

"Brothers, push harder! We must get this Spirit Realm out before the Heavenly Dao is promoted. Otherwise, our boss won't have the face to go to the Celestial Pivot Academy and ask for our establishment slots!"

"It's no good, the time is just too tight. There are still so many bugs to fix. If we launch it now, major problems will occur!"

"It's almost there, almost there... I'm exhausted, folks. Don't blame me. I still have to oversee the Cycle Netherworld over there. Managing to spare this bit of time to help you is already my best effort..."

"Sister Lingxi, don't go! Stay another two and a half days! We can't do this without you!!!"

"Brothers, I must bid farewell as well. My Xiuzhi is about to wake up. I need to be by her side. You all work hard!"

"Old Xu, you can't abandon your friends for love!!!"

"I'm leaving too, brothers. I am the Historian. There are more important matters I must record. I can't stay and work with you any longer."

"Primordial Celestial Brush, you damn... wait for me a moment!"

"Off we go, off we go. Sister Lingxi, regarding the idea of revamping the Netherworld into a Underworld Realm, I had a new thought while fixing the Spirit Realm's bugs..."

"Oh? Sister Qianxue, you have a plan too?"

"......."

The Netherlink Pavilion was established to create a Spirit Domain mental network covering the entire world.

This was an extremely massive project, and only the original chat group members could participate in its development and design!

The entire staff of the Netherlink Pavilion had been grinding for two and a half months, even pulling in many group friends from other departments as external aid, yet they were still far behind the planned schedule.

Now these friends who came to help were all leaving, led by profound immortal-level powerhouses like Shen Lingxi and Xu Jinghong. Could the remaining motley crew possibly complete the task on schedule?

......

New Divine Domain.

This was a "Extraterritorial Reconstruction Base" and "Resource Regeneration Farm" for the Divine Realm, jointly built by the Finance Department leading, with the Celestial Engineering Academy cooperating, utilizing resources provided by survivors from the Divine Realm!

Codename—Sourceflow Plan!

Author's Note: Sigh, originally thought I was about to break free from the abyss, never expected an even greater abyss lay beyond. This trapped fish remains inauspicious...
