Chapter 1017 - Becoming a God! Hidden Worries
In the Ming Dynasty, outside Tiandu, there is a altar for the gods.
Early after the Conferment of Gods was completed, the Conferment of Gods Altar was transformed into a semi-immortal artifact through the joint efforts of many true immortals, which can almost be regarded as a spiritual cave.
Countless monks gathered under the Conferred God Platform, and the eyes of many true immortals and the most powerful overlords were focused here, with curiosity and expectation in their eyes.
Many true immortals are also looking forward to becoming gods. After all, after they become immortals, they will still have their own disciples.
The path to immortality is difficult, and even those who are disciples of true immortals may not really be able to embark on the path of immortality with their own abilities, so they also need a divine position.
As the person who was originally appointed by the True Lord of Shenxiao, Pei Xuanjing, to become a god, Haigangfeng stood in front of the altar with a dignified expression, his eyes filled with solemnity.
The three-foot sacred incense on the Conferring God Stage was slowly lit. What was enshrined on the table was none other than the Emperor's Earth and the Conferring God List. Under this, a scroll was placed.
Hai Gangfeng first bowed respectfully three times, then took up the scroll and slowly unfolded it, and began to read:
"The Antarctic Immortal Emperor Shenxiao Zhenjun Immortal Taoist Edict: In the past, there were The demon clan is a catastrophe for the human race, and the desire to destroy the human race will not die. Today, the people of the human race are brave enough to drive out the demon clan and prosper the human race, and they will be rewarded.”
"According to the orders of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, Xuantian Lord, and the Ancestral Heavenly Masters of the human race and all the true immortals, I grant pardons to the stars of the world, canonize the gods on behalf of the heavens, benefit all living beings, and control the order of the heaven and the earth so that the four seasons have laws and human relations are in order. , To establish the order of the world, this is a matter of immeasurable merit and virtue, you are so proud."
“Today, by the order of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, I have appointed Chao Haigangfeng, the Great Ming God of the human race, to be the person to be anointed as a god. He can be anointed as a god on behalf of heaven, and I have gained immeasurable merits. You are so impressive!”
Say yes! After saying this, Haigangfeng put away the scroll and respectfully put it back in its place.
"The Antarctic Immortal Emperor, the true immortal of the human race, has a lifespan as long as the heavens. We will obey the decree!" All the monks bowed down and saluted respectfully.
Even the most powerful overlords in the human race, who are only one step away from the path of immortality, do not dare to have any arrogance at this moment and look respectful.
On the path of spiritual practice, those who have mastered it come first.
All the true immortals of the human race are the pioneers on the path of spiritual practice. They should be respected through the shadow of their predecessors.
What's more, the human race defeated the demon race. All the true immortals worked hard and painstakingly, and they made great contributions to the human race.
There are also refining the list of gods, promoting the matter of canonizing gods, and seeking immortality for tens of millions of human beings. Naturally, they should keep it in mind.
With these three major achievements alone, they are worthy of respect from all human beings, regardless of their level of cultivation.
Next, a ray of light flashed across the sky. Waiting for the light to disappear, I saw the Divine Whip floating in front of Haigang Peak, exuding a mysterious aura that echoed the list of gods enshrined on the table.
Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard a voice coming from the sky: "The matter of conferring a god is of great importance, and although the cultivators have worked hard and made great achievements, there are many unruly people who are afraid of being conferred as a god. Something unexpected happened and the process was delayed. , I will let you take charge of the Divine Whip for the time being to restrain the gods.”
After hearing this, many true immortals who already knew about the existence of the Divine Whip were not surprised, but many monks who were originally in high spirits were not surprised. His face changed slightly.
It is indeed as Pei Xuanjing expected. Although this monk is devoted to the human race, he is mostly an unruly person and is rarely restrained.
As the saying goes, having a sharp knife in your heart will start your life. For these monks, conferring a godly position is a means for them to obtain immortality, but it does not mean that they will completely sell themselves to heaven.
Many monks want to come and wait for the future to refine their divine status and gain immortality. Naturally, they will listen to the edicts of heaven and not listen to them. As long as they don't make a big mistake, they can't deprive themselves of their divine status for no reason.
But who would have thought that this divine position had not yet been sealed, but the divine whip had first appeared. This undoubtedly cast a shadow on the hearts of many monks and diluted the joy a bit.
Many powerful people have become more aware of the methods of this True Lord Shenxiao. These newly-rising monks only saw Pei Xuanjing, the True Lord Shenxiao, who was running for the human race after their promotion to heaven and earth. On the one hand, I think he is a great virtuous person.
But those older monks who had seen the style of the True Lord Shenxiao when the ancestral land revived and before the two worlds merged, were not surprised at all by this, and thought it was natural.
"Sure enough, there is no such thing as pie in the sky. If you want to rely on the gods to live forever, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities." Lord Xue was not surprised by this, and secretly ridiculed the monks in his heart.
A strong person at his level already knows the true purpose of these true immortals in creating the Heavenly Palace, and naturally knows the responsibilities and obligations that the Heavenly Family will bear in the future.
So how is it possible that these true immortals have no checks and balances on the future gods of heaven?
You must know that human nature should never be overestimated. The human race is united externally, but it is not truly monolithic internally, especially without the influence of external enemies and these people have gained immortality. .
The future struggle within heaven and the struggle for power and profit can be expected.
"Yes, if there are no checks and balances on these gods, how can we ensure the situation in the future and let the heavens continue to develop." The Lord of Dajiang also agreed.
The Lord of the River Kingdom, who has seized the fruit of the sacred tree, is almost within reach of the immortal path.
But even if he wants to go further in the realm of immortality after arriving in the future, he has no clue yet, but there is no doubt that the purposes and ideas of these true immortals are actually in his interests.
So in such a situation, different strong men have their own perceptions from different perspectives. Especially the most powerful overlords who think they can ascend to the Immortal Path with their own strength. Not only do they not resist, they even say they are happy to see it happen.
In such a situation, naturally no one will violate their words.
Of course, no matter what they think in their hearts, these monks who have not yet been enshrined cannot violate the orders of the True Lord Shenxiao, at least before they ascend to the throne of God.
"The auspicious time has arrived, let's start to confer gods. Please confer the list of gods!"
Hai Gangfeng bowed to the list of conferred gods, then slowly opened the list and hung it on it.
The next moment, the void shook, and countless illusory figures struggled and roared from the list of gods. These were all the human heroes who fell in the battle of the gods. They seemed to be in a vast world. , will see the light of day today.
"You guys haven't hurry up and stand on your shift, when will we wait?" Haigangfeng held the divine whip in his hand, pointed it lightly, and a ray of light escaped into the list of gods, with a sound like thunder.
With the order, many heroic spirits in the list of gods were instantly awakened. They instantly understood where they were at the moment and quickly stood in line.
And at the moment when the list of gods was unfolded, the heaven and earth shook, and many strong men felt the changes in the will of heaven and earth, as if the world had been watching here.
"Please ask for the Merit List of the Conferred Gods!"
The List of Merit of the Conferred Gods was established by Pei Xuanjing, the True Lord of Shenxiao at that time, to record the merits of the human race participants in the Conferred Gods War. of.
The top one on the list of meritorious deeds: Zhu Houcong, the leader of the Ming Dynasty.
All the powerful people are aware of the ranking of this list of meritorious deeds. Although they are unhappy about their ranking, they are not so unacceptable for Zhu Houcong to be at the top of the list.
The Battle of the Gods is not only about going to the battlefield to kill enemies. Whether it is refining elixirs, forging magical weapons, or transporting grain and grass, these are all contributions, but the contribution values obtained are different. As the leader of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong's achievements not only come from himself, but also from the people of the Ming Dynasty. He can get a part of the merits performed by the people, soldiers, and officials of the Ming Dynasty.
As the merits obtained are not many, but the little adds up, the Ming Dynasty has countless people, and the number gathered on Zhu Houcong is also a considerable number.
Of course, relying on these alone is not enough to support Zhu Houcong to be at the top of the list of meritorious deeds. After all, there are countless big forces in the world. Those sects in the Holy Land may not have enough people, but those strong men in the ancient countries The number of his subjects was not small at all, but why was he able to dominate them all?
One of the most important reasons is that the prototype of Heavenly Court is Zhu Houcong’s real contribution.
After becoming gods, where should the gods go? Naturally, it is in heaven.
But where does the Heavenly Court come from? It is the prototype of the Heavenly Court left by the co-master of the human race that Zhu Houcong obtained.
Not to mention other things, this point alone is enough to make Zhu Houcong's meritorious service to the extreme, and no one can compare with it.
So, when Haigang Peak unfolded the list of gods and began to consecrate the gods, the golden light was flowing on the list of gods. The next moment, the highest position on the list of gods and the head of the six emperors was written by Zhu Houcong. name.
“Today, Zhu Houcong, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, is enthroned as the supreme, supreme, natural, wonderful, Miluo, and true Jade Emperor who rules over all the heavens, Haotian, Golden Palace.”
"Today, the master of Wu Gou Sword of the Sword Sect is entrusted with the title of Gouchen Shanggong Emperor. He is in charge of the north and south poles, the three talents of heaven, earth and man, to control the stars, and to preside over the military revolution in the world."
"Today, the edict is to ennoble Tianji Pavilion. north Taoist Chen is the Great Emperor of the Zhongtian Ziwei North Pole. He is in charge of the latitude and longitude of the sky, and he leads the star gods of the three realms and the gods of mountains and rivers.” Wang Changsheng The Great Emperor, the Yuan Sheng Tianzun, controls all spirits, controls the movement of the weather in the four seasons, can call for wind and rain, controls thunder and lightning, ghosts and gods, and also controls the occurrence of misfortunes and blessings in all things."
"This is the cardinal seal for all spirits. Zong Qingxuan Zhenjun is the Great Emperor of Dongji Miaoyan Qinghua, who controls the underworld. "
"Now the emperor of Wushen Sect is entrusted with the title of Emperor of the Earth to follow the example of Heaven, and dominates the mountains and rivers of the earth."
"Zhu Houcong listened to the seal!"
"Wu Gou listened to the seal!"
"Beichen Taoist listened to the seal!"
"Many people listened to the seal of immortality!"
< br>"Qingxuan listens to the seal!"
"Houtu listens to the title!"
The Six Imperial Positions, these can be said to be the most noble and powerful ones in the list of gods.
When the cultivators heard that these six honorable positions were conferred, there was a strong look of envy in their eyes.
But everyone knows that such a noble and powerful divine position is not something they can covet. Without sufficient strength or background, they cannot even think about it.
With the title of Central Jade Emperor, Zhu Houcong was originally the leader of the divine dynasty, a most powerful overlord-like figure, the first person on the merit list, and had the support of a true immortal behind him.
The master of the Wu Gou Sword Sect is in charge of the Wu Gou Divine Sword. He is the strongest person in the Sword Sect besides the Sword Emperor.
Taoist Beichen of Tianji Pavilion, Ziwei Dou Shu is unparalleled in the world, and he is also famous in Tianji Deduction. There is support from Patriarch Tianji behind him.
Taoist Qingxuan of the Wanling Sect is a master of magic. Although he was born in the devil's way, his skills in creation are extraordinary.
The Houtu clan of the Wushen Cult is extremely mysterious and related to the legendary Wushen Houtu, otherwise this name alone would not be something that ordinary monks of the Wushen Cult can bear.
Which of these people does not have a true immortal behind him? How can ordinary monks be qualified to be involved?
That Shenxiao Taoist Changsheng Taoist is more directly an incarnation of Shenxiao True Lord Pei Xuanjing. Who dares to snatch it?
The sky is full of divine positions. It can be said that many monks dare to think about other divine positions. However, no one has thought about the position of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, not even the true immortals.
Who doesn’t know that this True Lord Shenxiao was originally certified as the Antarctic Immortal Emperor? This title was put into the list of gods, but it was just a process to make up for the formalities.
However, after the six emperors were granted the divine status, some strong people had some thoughts in their hearts.
It seems that this True Lord Shenxiao occupies a bit too much. After all, if we really look into it carefully, three of the six great emperors are directly related to him, and the remaining sword sects are also friends with him. good.
Will this cause dissatisfaction among other true immortals?
The future of Heaven is foreseeable. Anyone who is not stupid can understand that the future development of human race and the development of heaven and earth will be under the leadership of Heaven.
Then whoever occupies enough positions in heaven will be able to gain enough say in the future.
In the past, it was because of the existence of the demon clan that these human true immortals were united. Now that there is no threat from the demon clan, the contradictions among these true immortals will no longer be suppressed.
The battle between good and evil, the battle between Buddha and Demon, the battle between orthodoxy among Taoist sects, the collision between casual cultivators and sect forces, and even the dispute between sects and divine dynasties, all these contradictions have always existed Or, it was just because of the threat of the demon clan that everything was suppressed.
Now that there are no external threats, internal conflicts will arise, and have even begun to arise.
As far as some powerful people know, after quelling the raging mountains and rivers and floods caused by the demon clan, the former demon domain has been shaped into a holy land of cultivation by many true immortals.
But regarding this holy land of spiritual practice, it also caused a lot of troubles as to whose family it was.
At the beginning, many true immortals did not intervene, but allowed the human monks to make their own decisions. However, in this process, some large forces united to squeeze out small forces and casual cultivators, and occupied interests beyond their own share.
This aroused dissatisfaction from all parties, and a conflict broke out between the two sides. If Wang Boan, the commander of the human coalition forces, had not stopped him in time, I am afraid that the first fight between human monks after the Conferred Gods War would have ended Happened immediately.
Although this kind of thing has subsided for the time being, it is not a good sign.
