The next day.

Everyone in the New World suddenly heard a shocking piece of news in their minds.

The emperor of the New World has returned from outside and will soon ascend the throne.

The indigenous people had always known about this emperor but he had never been in the New World, so they didn't find it strange.

Instead, they were extremely excited and started cheering joyfully.

However, those who were later thrown in by Zhao Yi were somewhat bewildered at the moment.

They still did not know that Zhao Yi was the emperor.

Therefore, they unconsciously felt a bit of resistance in their hearts.

Although they had lived in the New World for so long and understood many things about it well.

Such as the various incredible inventions and various new weapons and so on.

But regarding the laws of the New World.

Many people actually weren't convinced in their hearts.

After all, they were previously from sects, and sects have their own rules, as long as they didn't commit major mistakes, there wouldn't be any punishment.

Moreover.

For those without cultivation, sect members didn't really care much about them.

In the eyes of cultivators, those people were not much different from ants.

If it were in the original world, this way of thinking wouldn't be wrong at all.

However.

Currently, this is the New World, having no connection to their original world.

To survive in the New World, they must abide by its laws and adhere to the various rules even more strictly than the natives.

For example, in some places, flying is prohibited, regardless of their cultivation level, even if they are in the Sage Realm, they cannot fly over the sky.

If they violate the rules, at the least, they'll end up in jail.

At worst, their cultivation will be directly abolished.

Some people didn't believe in evil and thought that the rules of ordinary folks couldn't restrict them.

Even if it's the New World, as high and mighty cultivators, they still had to be superior to others.

So they blatantly appeared in the no-fly zone, disregarding the rules.

Zhao Yi, upon hearing this incident, said nothing, merely instructed three beasts to find that person's sect.

Upon arriving at the sect, facing several beasts, everyone in the sect was instantly terrified and bewildered.

It must be known.

They all came from the Spirit Realm and were well aware of the beasts' cultivation levels, each one was in the Sage Realm, not to mention that their appearance often represented Zhao Yi.

The White Elephant looked at the person with only an eighth-level cultivation and spoke indifferently: "Is it you who disobeyed our New World's laws?"

The person was stunned, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, speaking recklessly: "I really don't understand why there are such rules, I am a cultivator, even if I come to the New World, should I be like those ordinary folks?"

The Black Eagle chuckled, a cold gaze appeared on his face.

He suddenly spoke: "In my eyes, what difference is there between you and those ordinary folks?"

"Even your Sect Leader, in the eyes of my master, is nothing more than an ant."

"I'm giving you three seconds, now bind your own hands, head to the local Government Office for punishment, otherwise, how can the consequences be something your sect can bear?"

After the three beasts finished speaking, they eagerly watched the person.

They hadn't taken action in a long time, rust was settling on their bodies.

At this moment.

If he dared to make any move, dared to resist, not only him but the entire sect would be completely wiped from the New World.

Some might think this is too cruel.

But one must understand, the law truly shows no mercy.

Especially at the beginning, if you take a step back in abiding by the law, those unruly individuals could find every way to undermine the New World's established laws.

Hence.

Zhao Yi had to make these cultivators understand that the law of the New World is like a thunder pond, whoever dares to cross it will face utter destruction.

Especially those with high cultivation, they need even stricter supervision.

The person's lips twitched, still wanting to speak.

The Sect Leader behind him instantly struck with a palm, without mercy.

Not only expelling this person from the sect but also ordering others to tie him and send him down the mountain to the Government Office.

The people behind were stunned, knowing that this person was the Sect Leader's closed-door disciple, essentially the hope of the entire sect, and he really acted so decisively.

But as they came to realize, they all praised the Sect Leader's quick response and strong overall perspective in their hearts.

After all.

The three Sage Realm beasts opposite them were watching intently, ready to strike at any disagreement.

Frankly speaking.

Their sect could defeat these three beasts, but this is the New World; even if they could win, they didn't dare to act.

The young people in the sect may not know Zhao Yi's terror, but didn't these Sage Realm and Great Daoist Sage cultivators know?

Perhaps the Black Eagle was right.

In Zhao Yi's eyes, they are probably nothing more than ants.

Watching the Sect Leader's closed-door disciple being taken away, everyone fell silent.

They silently warned themselves that the law of the New World must not ever be triggered.

With this precedent, all sects in the New World became more obedient.

Especially those stronger sects, they were even more afraid of provoking Zhao Yi at this time, bringing about the disaster of sect extinction.

In fact.

Some sects directly ordered everyone not to go out, just to prevent them from making mistakes.

On this day.

The weather in the New World was excellent.

The sky was a deep blue, without a single cloud floating.

Sunlight spilled through the clouds, illuminating everything transparently bright.

Zhao Yi stood within the Imperial Palace, its resplendent grandeur emanating a brilliant glow.

In front of him were the ministers of the New World, with Linglong and Miaoyin Real Person leading on the left.

They were respectively in charge of the New World's basic constructions and culture, among other things.

The leading position on the right was vacant; everyone knew that was Zuo Xiaoluo General's spot.

At this time, Zuo Xiaoluo was leading an army of a hundred thousand cultivators to battle the Otherworld; no one dared to take her place.

Once everything was ready.

The person beside him held a seal, engraved with the words 'Mandated by Heaven, May it Last Forever!'

He picked up the seal, and after sitting on the throne, it symbolized the completion of the ascension in the New World.

In truth.

According to previous cumbersome procedures, when Zhao Yi wanted to ascend to the throne, it wouldn't have been so simple.

Not to mention what was to be learned, just the preliminary preparations would take at least over half a month.

Including the coronation ceremony, proclamation ceremony, and so on.

It was very complex.

However, the crisis posed by the Nether Tree was becoming more imminent, leaving no time for such matters.

After the enthronement, Zhao Yi disappeared from the Imperial Palace.

Not only ministers, but even Linglong and Miaoyin Real Person could not find his whereabouts.

At this moment.

Zhao Yi stood in the void, gazing at the river before him, attempting to enfold it within his body with both hands.
