The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"But as time has passed, no monks have visited this place for a long time."

"You've already made it here, so you must be one of the best in this world. Conserve your strength and live longer."

Bai Zhi shook her head and released the power she had been holding back, the scorching aura sweeping across the entire hall.

"This...this power, are you the Fire Demon?!"

Anubis's face showed surprise.

This was completely unexpected. Given the current weakening of supernatural power, even if the Fire Demon Lord were truly released, he would probably be quickly sealed away.

Because the world is ultimately heading towards the end of its Dharma-ending Age.

But Bai Zhi actually came here and even extended an olive branch to him, a god who should have been his enemy.

This is incredibly incredible, because as primordial demons, all eight demons are exceptionally brutal, with an incomparably powerful desire for destruction. Such a coordinated attack against an enemy is practically impossible.

"I am, and I am not, so, Mr. Anubis, would you like to join this plan?"

.....

Anubis remained silent upon hearing Bai Zhi's invitation once again.

Past experience told him not to easily trust demons, but reason told him that if he didn't join them, given his current state, he would probably disappear from this world soon.

As for the idea that good and evil are irreconcilable enemies, he had none of it.

After all these years, doesn't he understand that the gods are just a bunch of tools, used and discarded by the world?

But if it's a primordial demon....

They might actually succeed, because they are immortal and indestructible, and are considered the favored children of the dark energy.

Anubis's eyes flashed with a ghostly green light. Bai Zhi remained calm and sat down to the side, waiting for his answer.

After a long while, Anubis's deep voice finally rang out:

“I’m joining this project, Bai Zhi, hoping you can end this endless cycle of suffering.”

No one wants to die, and Anubis was no exception. The gods devised so many methods to prolong their lives, rather than being used up and discarded by the world.

"Great, this will be the best decision for you!"

"But before that, let's sign a contract as a guarantee."

Bai Zhi took out a piece of parchment that shimmered with a purple light, her face beaming with delight.

After signing Anubis's agreement, the next step should be to find the Holy Lord. I believe the eight great demons wouldn't mind having a few more souls to torment under their command.

330 This is my new employee, Anubis.

"I am truly sorry for digging up your final resting place without permission."

"It's alright, it's alright. You are that person's friend, so we should still give you the respect you deserve."

Imhotep smiled and spoke to Jackie Chan in a very friendly manner.

"Where is Xiao Baizhi? I can't see her."

Xiaoyu looked curiously behind Imhotep, where there was only a stretch of yellow sand and some fallen mummies.

"Little... Angelica dahurica."

Imhotep fell silent. Judging from Xiaoyu's expression, Bai Zhi was clearly the name of that Holy Lord. How dare this person address that big shot in such a way?

In ancient times, calling someone by their name like that would surely get you beheaded.

"Lady Baizhi has likely gone to the Underworld. Please don't worry, everyone. Perhaps in a little while..."

Before Imhotep could finish speaking, he sensed a surge of power and instinctively looked toward the source of the surge.

A dark blue vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air, and two figures emerged from it.

One of them he was very familiar with was Angelica dahurica.

But when he saw the other person, he was momentarily speechless.

The majestic jackal head, the ancient Egyptian-style clothing, and the scepter in his hand.

More importantly, he could feel a certain connection between himself and this person.

Could this be Anubis?!

Imhotep swallowed hard, barely daring to breathe, for his power came entirely from the gift of this god.

However, just as easily, he can withdraw his power if he is even slightly displeased.

"Jade, and Mr. Jackie Chan, we meet again. It seems you've encountered some very interesting things on your adventure!"

Bai Zhi walked over to the group and greeted them.

"...Thank you, Bai Zhi."

Jackie Chan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said very sincerely.

"No need to thank me. As I said, I am not the kind of violent person. Xiaoyu is also my friend, so I will help her if she is in danger."

"Hehe, it's great to have a friend like Xiao Baizhi. Uncle Long, I knew it. You and Dad were just being prejudiced."

"But, Little Baizhi, who is this person next to you? Is he wearing a mask?"

Xiaoyu shifted her gaze to Anubis, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry and curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan also looked at Anubis.

However, he certainly didn't think this was the deity; he thought it might be a priest or something similar.

Many civilizations have similar practices, such as wearing masks of deities.

"Oh, he is Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of death."

Bai Zhi patted Anubis next to her, "He felt that my Destiny Group had better benefits, so he joined very enthusiastically."

Everyone:?

Do you think I'm joking?

Xiaoyu and Jackie Chan nodded.

Even Xiaoyu, a primary school student, knows this famous god from Egyptian mythology.

Anubis is a frequent character in various cultural works.

How could such a deity suddenly become Bai Zhi's employee?

That's a bit too outrageous.

Seeing their suspicious looks, Bai Zhi smiled.

"Hey little one, give them some work!"

Anubis sighed helplessly. His new boss really had a wicked sense of humor, insisting on doing this in front of mortals.

However, since Bai Zhi is now his new boss, he should still give her the respect she deserves.

Anubis then planted his scepter in the ground, and black flames swirled around him.

In just a moment, he went from being 8 meters tall to a colossal being 20 meters tall.

"It's a really strong sense of déjà vu."

Bai Zhi glanced at Anubis, who was surrounded by black flames and holding an enlarged scepter, and thought of a certain desert dog.

If she could randomly enter the world of League of Legends in the future, she would definitely want to find many heroes to have a good chat with.

Especially a certain dragon king.

Jackie Chan and Jade, who were shrouded in Anubis's shadow, had their mouths agape in surprise, their astonishment evident.

"Uncle Long, is it possible that this really is Anubis?"

After a while, Xiaoyu tugged at Jackie Chan and whispered something.

"Maybe, probably, perhaps."

Jackie Chan had mixed feelings. Regardless of whether this was a real god or not, its power was definitely far beyond that of ordinary people.

At least he had already felt it; the powerful pressure from the divine power was almost suffocating.

That's enough, don't scare them!

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Anubis silently shrank his body, returning to a height of about 8 meters.

He glanced at Jackie Chan and Jade with some concern, especially at Jade, as he was all too familiar with the aura emanating from her.

It was an aura of righteousness, and an aura that was incredibly strong.

It was so potent that even a god from an old era would likely fail to harm it for various reasons.

He also understood why Bai Zhi had cultivated a good relationship with the other party.

If someone were to become an enemy of this level of favor, they would likely suffer greatly.

Various misfortunes are the most basic thing, and it's also common to feel down when things fall apart at the last minute.

Even if you can't stop the righteous from causing trouble by maintaining good relations, most of the favor will still be with you here.

Therefore, this can at least significantly reduce the intensity of such disruptive behavior.

"Wow, does that mean I can brag now that my friend's employee is actually a god?!"

Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled; she felt she had gained even more to talk about among her classmates.

"Sure, but I don't think your classmates will believe it, Xiaoyu."

Xiaoyu scratched her head. "That seems to be true. Those guys, even though I'm telling the truth, they just don't believe me."

"Hehe, it's nothing. That's just their ignorance. I've always believed that Xiaoyu is an honest and good child."

"Little Angelica understands me best!"

"Xiaoyu, exploring the desert must be tough. Here, take this as a small reward and go to town to buy some refreshing snacks."

Bai Zhi casually took out a stack of green paper and stuffed it into Xiao Yu's hand.

"Come with me, there's lots of good food in Cairo."

Xiaoyu didn't hold back at all and casually stuffed the stack of US dollars into her pocket.

Jackie Chan covered his forehead but didn't say anything.

After all, this kind of thing has happened more than once, so at least it can prevent Xiaoyu from having to feel wronged.

“I still need to process Anubis’s onboarding, so I can’t accompany you for the time being. When you return to San Francisco, you can come to Destiny Building to find me.”

"Okay~" Xiaoyu replied obediently.

"As for these smart machines, I will take them back; you don't need to worry about them."

331 The Resurrection of Lü Dongbin

"Next, I will work on creating a world of the underworld and the heavens that covers the entire region, but before that, I think we might be able to add another region."

Inside the Destiny Building, Bai Zhi sat in the boss's chair and spoke to Anubis, who was also sitting in a chair.

"what do you mean?"

Anubis made a gesture of listening attentively.

“Hell,” Bai Zhi uttered the two words.

"Do you wish to unleash the other demons?"

Anubis hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:

"I do not recommend that you do this. The other demons are too brutal. Releasing them will only plunge this land into a terrible disaster."

"Of course I won't release them, but the underworld is simply where the dead reside, a place for the ordinary."

"And the heavens are where those who have accomplished great deeds reside."

"Then what about the wicked? They should also have a place to go."
