At present, the Divine Mansion of Shenxiao does not have any martial officials, only civil positions. However, I suppose that governing the Thirty-Three Heavens doesn't require much martial power, so this should be sufficient.
However, in that case, I need to quickly inherit the position of the Great Emperor of Longevity.
Thinking this, Feng Ye took out the Emperor's set that Fuxi had given him. It included an imperial seal symbolizing the authority of the Great Emperor of Longevity, a pure yang jade tablet symbolizing his identity, a set of imperial crown and robe, a册of enfeoffment, a vermilion jade pen, and other miscellaneous items like the tinkling jade pendant and white jade tablet.
The miscellaneous items were not important. The imperial seal, jade tablet, and imperial robe gathered the imperial aura of fire, which were the three essential items of the Emperor's set.
Feng Ye extended his hand, summoned the three imperial items, and began to refine them with his divine will. The imperial aura gradually gathered from the three imperial items to Feng Ye's body. Strands of the imperial aura of fire surrounded Feng Ye, forming a red dragon. Finally, the red dragon flew into Feng Ye's body through his crown.
Subsequently, a crimson fireball suddenly appeared above Feng Ye's head. The fireball rolled continuously, manifesting Feng Ye's fire virtue. After absorbing the dragon aura from the Emperor's set, the red fireball faintly revealed golden light, and the shadow of a dragon could be seen writhing within the fireball. Gradually, the golden light increased, and the dragon shadow grew to nine.
In the end, the entire red fireball turned into a golden sun, radiating light. The nine crimson-gold divine dragons flew out of the fireball, circling around the golden sun-like light ball.
Feng Ye took out the divine position jade tablet and tapped it casually. The jade tablet suddenly shattered, and the divine positions transformed into streams of light, merging into the golden sun above Feng Ye's head.
"I am Feng Ye, known as the True Lord of Nine Radiant Splendor, the Great Emperor of Longevity. I reside in the Divine Mansion of Shenxiao, overseeing the Southern Eight Heavens, and manage all the immortals and deities of the Thirty-Three Heavens and the affairs of the Heavenly Court." Inheriting the position of the Great Emperor of Longevity, the divine positions would naturally be re-melted and gathered. The divine position originally bestowed by Taihao Fuxi would also change accordingly.
The names "Yeh" and "Ye" sound the same, but compared to fire, the light of the sun is more radiant and more suitable as Feng Ye's divine title. A divine title is different from an imperial position. If the imperial position is the formal title of the Heavenly Court, which can be inherited, then the divine title is private. Even the next Great Emperor of Longevity cannot use the divine title "True Lord of Nine Radiant Splendor," which will accompany Feng Ye for life.
As soon as Feng Ye finished speaking, the light of the sun suddenly rose, bursting out of the Divine Mansion of Shenxiao, illuminating the Thirty-Three Heavens. In the sea of fortune of the Heavenly Court, a golden imperial star rose, complementing the original four imperial stars.
In the Lingxiao Palace, Fuxi had just finished reviewing the memorials, tasted two spiritual fruits, and saw the golden light shining, directly entering the Lingxiao Palace.
"Ah Ye has completed the refinement so quickly? Well, with his ascension to the imperial position, the imperial positions of the Heavenly Court are now complete!" Fuxi's gaze was profound, seeing through the vast void directly to the manifestation of destiny.
The situation was different from what Feng Ye had seen before. Since the abolition of the ancient Heavenly Court, a divine mountain now stood at the center of the entire fortune space, representing the current lineage of the Xuanmen sect, which governs the universe.
Above the divine mountain was a cloud of auspiciousness, which divided into the Thirty-Three Heavens, the source of the Heavenly Court's fortune.
However, compared to the fortune cloud sea of the ancient Heavenly Court, which covered the entire sky, the current fortune of the Heavenly Court, even with the support of the Xuanmen sect, only occupied about one-third of the sky. This was the situation after Feng Ye's return and the completion of the Four Regents.
With Feng Ye's golden imperial star, there are now five imperial stars in the Heavenly Court. At the center of the fortune cloud sea of the Heavenly Court, the five imperial stars are arranged in a pentagram. The purple-blue one is Fuxi, the pure purple one is Ziwēi, the silver one is Gouchen, the yellow one is Houtu, and the golden one is Feng Ye.
To be honest, they are all primordial great deities, none of whom are from the Xuanmen sect. As for Feng Ye, Fuxi directly categorized him into the divine race. How will Houtu rule in the future? Fuxi couldn't help but shake his head and think.
Then, he smiled lightly, "Anyway, this is something the Xuanmen sect should worry about, why should I care!" Fuxi instructed the child beside him to carry a basket of fresh fruit to the Divine Mansion of Shenxiao.
In the Yumen Wheel of Rebirth Hall, Houtu was inspecting the cycle of rebirth. Sensing the addition of a new emperor, she smiled slightly, glanced up, and then continued to check for any omissions in the cycle. After all, it didn't matter much to her who became an emperor.
In the Ziwēi Palace, Gouchen and Ziwēi, the two emperors, suddenly felt something and exchanged glances.
Ziwēi asked, "Brother, did you feel it too?"
"Being emperors, we naturally sense it. This is good, as our lineage of human emperors is flourishing, dominating the imperial positions of the Heavenly Court, and will naturally bring great benefits in the future."
"Big Brother, do you think we should go and congratulate Uncle?" Seven Stars, who was writing Dao texts and practicing calligraphy between Gouchen and Ziwēi, raised his head and said.
After listening to Yuan Kui's advice, Ziguang Lady thought about it for a long time and finally sent Seven Stars to the Heavenly Court to be taken care of by his two elder brothers.
Gouchen, hearing Seven Stars' words, tugged at his hair and smiled, "With me and your second brother here, it's not your turn to worry! Don't think about slacking off, just write your ten-thousand-character text!"
Seven Stars pouted, pushed Gouchen's hand away, touched his hair, and ran to Ziwēi, pointing at Gouchen, "Second Brother, look, Big Brother is bullying me! Uncle said that if someone touches your hair, you won't grow tall!"
"Enough, enough! Pouting won't help!" Ziwēi picked up Seven Stars, placed him on the desk, and pinched his little cheek, "Uncle also said to do your homework well. These tasks left by Mother were suggested by that uncle, so just write them!"
Seeing Seven Stars pouting, Ziwēi comforted him, "Writing ten thousand Dao texts is not much. Think about it, that Feng Zhong, he draws talismans in the Fire Cloud Cave every day, tens of thousands of them!"
Seeing Seven Stars muttering and picking up the jade pen to write, Ziwēi secretly transmitted a message to Gouchen, "Brother, now that our lineage of human emperors dominates the Heavenly Court, with great fortune. But when Houtu returns, we will have to step down, isn't that too much of a loss? We might as well take advantage of Houtu—"
"Don't even think about it!" Gouchen's face changed, and he sternly transmitted a message, "Houtu is the Heavenly Emperor chosen by the Xuanmen sect. We can sideline him or ignore him, but we cannot depose him." Then he secretly glanced at Seven Stars, seeing him focused on writing.
Gouchen's tone softened, and he continued to Ziwēi, "I know you want to take action when he reincarnates. But have you forgotten what Mother said? We should just watch and let the witch deities of the Wu sect handle it! If Houtu dies, the Wu sect will bear the blame and face the wrath of the Three Pure Ones!"
"Then won't the primordial great deities look down on us?"
"Be patient! Don't forget, the one who just took the position of the Great Emperor of Longevity is also our elder. He is also of the human emperor lineage, and he will handle it. We just need to cheer him on!"
In the Divine Mansion of Shenxiao, Feng Ye imprinted his primordial spirit in the imperial star. Opening his eyes, he looked at the laborers in front of him, the virtuous people.
Seeing their reverent expressions, he couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Could this be the legendary aura of a king? It's really effective; it seems he doesn't even need to establish his authority.
Feng Ye picked up the divine position jade book. This jade book was the record of the divine positions of the lineage of the Great Emperor of Longevity. Opening the first page, apart from his name, there was nothing else.
Then Feng Ye looked at the remaining pages, which were all blank. This is truly starting from scratch! Feng Ye smiled bitterly.
After some thought, Feng Ye recited a divine spell, picked up a vermilion pen, and wrote the names of these fifty people on it, directly enfeoffing them as deities. Of course, the positions Feng Ye enfeoffed were low-level civil officials, who did not even control any laws, so it didn't require much effort, and they had no great powers.
Fifty golden lights fell on their foreheads, turning into vermilion seals. "From now on, you are my divine officials. If you do your job well, your positions will naturally be promoted, and the path to immortality may not be impossible! But if you are insincere, not only will your positions be revoked, but your celestial bodies will also be lost. If you commit serious crimes, you will inevitably face the punishment of the execution platform."
These virtuous people, although reborn as celestials in the Heavenly Court, were not immortal. According to their virtues, they had a limited lifespan. However, cultivating in the Heavenly Court was very convenient. If they worked hard, they still had a chance to become Celestial Immortals.
Just as Feng Ye finished enfeoffing the divine officials, another jade book flew out from the mountain of documents in the Divine Mansion of Shenxiao. Feng Ye instinctively caught it, opened it, and was secretly surprised. "This is the divine book of all the personnel in the Heavenly Court!" It not only listed the divine positions of his lineage but also those of Ziwēi, Gouchen, and Houtu. Feng Ye flipped to his page and indeed found the names of the fifty new divine officials, with the time of their enfeoffment also recorded.
Then Feng Ye realized. It made sense, as the Great Emperor of Longevity oversees all the immortals and deities of the Thirty-Three Heavens, he naturally has the divine book of all personnel. So, when other emperors enfeoff new deities, it would also be recorded here. This is truly a good thing!
However, after studying it for a while, Feng Ye found that it was just a chicken rib. In other words, this thing was related to the divine position jade books of Feng Ye and the other emperors, and could be considered the central hub of all divine books.
But this thing could only be read, not written. That is, he could see the divine positions and time information enfeoffed by other emperors, but had no authority to modify or change them.
No wonder this thing was placed here rather than in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor. It was just an information collector, only receiving and not making any changes. Feng Ye thought silently.
Forget it, no need to think about it, better focus on his work! Looking at the mountain of documents, with a green light occasionally passing by, new documents were constantly being sent over. Emperor Fuxi was really efficient. In the Heavenly Court, there was no need for a dedicated person to deliver; just a spell could directly send the documents to the Divine Mansion of Shenxiao.
Feng Ye casually pointed and selected ten people, "You ten are responsible for organizing and categorizing the documents, dividing them into Heavenly Court affairs and the exercise of divine positions."
"Among the Heavenly Court affairs, there are palace repairs, treasury calculations, personnel transfers, etc."
"As for the exercise of divine positions, there are stars, weather, the five elements, etc."
Then, Feng Ye waved his sleeve, and several more desks appeared. He selected thirty more people, "You are responsible for consolidating and recording the separated documents. The year, month, day, the name of the document, and the general content must all be recorded."
"Of the remaining ten people, four are responsible for checking and correcting the records of the document recorders, two are responsible for moving the documents, and four are responsible for categorizing them in the document library."

Judging by this speed, Shennong will be born tomorrow. Definitely, probably, maybe!
Also, a few days ago, I noticed a typo in the introduction and secretly fixed it. I thought no one would notice, but today, when I opened the reader impressions, I suddenly saw someone mention it. It was pushed to the end by the other impressions, so I only saw it today. I'm really sorry.
