Chapter 1017: Conferred God! Hidden Concerns
Chapter 1017 - Conferred God! Hidden Worries
In the Ming Dynasty, outside Tiandu, there is a Conferred God Altar.
As early as after the Conferred God was over, this Conferred God Altar was transformed into a semi-immortal artifact through the joint sacrifice of many True Immortals, which can almost be regarded as a spiritual realm.
Countless cultivators gathered under the Conferred God Altar, and many True Immortals and the strongest overlords looked at it with curiosity and expectation in their eyes.
Many True Immortals are also looking forward to the Conferred God. After all, after they become immortal, they still have their own disciples.
The immortal path is difficult. Even as disciples of True Immortals, they may not be able to embark on the immortal path with their own abilities, so they also need a god position.
As the person who was appointed by Pei Xuanjing, the True Lord of Shenxiao, to be conferred gods, Hai Gangfeng stood in front of the Conferred God Altar with a dignified look, his eyes filled with solemnity.
The three-foot-high incense sticks on the Conferred God Platform were slowly lit, and on the table were offered nothing but the Emperor of Heaven and Earth and the Conferred God List, and underneath that was a scroll.
Hai Gangfeng bowed three times respectfully, then picked up the scroll and slowly unfolded it, and began to read:
"The Southern Emperor of Immortality, the True Lord of the Heavenly God, said: In the past, there was a demon race, which was a great disaster for the human race, and the heart of destroying the human race was not dead. Now the human race's patriots are bravely striving to be the first to drive out the demon race and prosper the human race, and they will be rewarded."
"In compliance with the orders of the Southern Emperor of Immortality, the True Lord of the Heavenly God, the Ancestor of the Heavenly Master, and the other true immortals of the human race, I will pardon and seal the stars of the world, seal the gods on behalf of the heaven, benefit all living beings, and take charge of the order of heaven and earth, so that the heaven and earth are in order, the four seasons have laws, and human relations have rules, and the order of the world is determined. This is a matter of immeasurable merit, and you should respect it."
"Now, in compliance with the order of the Southern Emperor of Immortality, I have appointed Hai Gangfeng of the Great Ming Dynasty of the human race as the person to seal the gods. I will seal the gods on behalf of the heaven and gain immeasurable merit, and you should respect it!"
After saying this, Hai Gangfeng put away the scroll and respectfully put it back in its place.
"The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole, the great virtue of the True Immortal of the human race, whose life span is as long as the sky, we shall obey the decree!" All the cultivators bowed down and saluted respectfully.
Even the many powerful overlords among the human race, who were only one step away from the immortal path, did not dare to be arrogant at this moment, and their expressions were respectful.
On the road of cultivation, the one who has achieved success comes first.
The True Immortals of the human race are the pioneers on the road of cultivation. They should be respected by virtue of the shadow left by their predecessors.
Moreover, the True Immortals worked hard and painstakingly to make great contributions to the human race in the victory of the human race over the demon race.
They also refined the Conferred God List, promoted the Conferred God, and sought longevity for tens of millions of human beings. Naturally, they should remember it in their hearts.
Just these three major achievements are worthy of respect from all human races, regardless of the realm of cultivation.
Next, a ray of light flashed across the sky. When the light disappeared, the Whip of God was seen floating in front of Hai Gangfeng, emitting a mysterious aura that echoed with the List of Gods on the table.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a voice came from the sky: "The matter of conferring gods is of great importance. Although the cultivators have worked hard and made great contributions, there are many rebellious people. I am afraid that something will happen during the conferring of gods, which will delay the progress. Now I will let you take charge of the Whip of God to restrain the gods."
Hearing this, many true immortals who already knew about the existence of the Whip of God were not surprised, but many cultivators who were originally excited could not help but change their faces slightly.
Indeed, as Pei Xuanjing expected, although these cultivators are dedicated to the human race, most of them are rebellious and rarely restrained.
As the saying goes, if you have a sharp knife in your heart, you will kill. For these cultivators, the title of God is their means to obtain immortality, but it does not mean that they will completely sell themselves to the Heavenly Court.
Many cultivators thought that after they had refined the divine position and gained immortality in the future, they would naturally obey the decree of the Heavenly Court. As long as they did not make a big mistake, they could not deprive themselves of their divine position for no reason.
But who would have thought that the divine whip appeared before the divine position was conferred, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on the hearts of many cultivators and diluted their joy.
Many powerful people have a clearer understanding of the methods of this True Lord Shenxiao. After the promotion of heaven and earth, these newly rising cultivators only saw the side of True Lord Shenxiao, Pei Xuanjing, running for the human race, and felt that he was a great virtue.
However, the old cultivators who had seen the style of True Lord Shenxiao when he rose before the revival of the ancestral land and the merger of the two realms were not surprised at all and felt that it was reasonable.
"Sure enough, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. If you want to rely on the divine position for immortality, you must bear the corresponding responsibility." The Lord of Daxue was not surprised by this, and secretly ridiculed the group of cultivators in his heart.
A strong man of his level has already understood the real purpose of these true immortals in building the Heavenly Court, and naturally knows the responsibilities and obligations of the future Heavenly Court.
Then how could these true immortals not have any checks and balances on the future Heavenly Court gods?
You should never overestimate human nature. The human race is united when facing the outside world, but it is not really a solid block when facing the inside world, especially when there is no influence from foreign enemies and these people have achieved immortality.
The struggle and power struggle in the future Heavenly Court are predictable.
"Yes, if there is no check and balance on these gods, how can we guarantee the situation in the future and let the Heavenly Court continue to develop." The Lord of Dajiang also agreed.
The Lord of Dajiang, who seized the fruit of the sacred tree, is almost within reach of the immortal path.
But even if he ascends to the immortal path in the future, he has no idea how to go further in the realm of the immortal path, but there is no doubt that the purpose and ideas of these true immortals are actually in his interests.
Therefore, 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 would 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 ascending to the throne of God.
"The auspicious time has arrived, let's start to confer gods. Please list the gods!"
Haigangfeng bowed to the Conferred Gods List, then slowly opened the Conferred Gods List and hung it on it.
The next moment, the void was shaking, and countless illusory figures were struggling and roaring from the list of gods. These were all the heroic spirits of the human race who had fallen in the battle of the gods. They seemed to be in a vast world, and they could only see the light of day today. .
"If you guys don't hurry up and stand in line, when will we wait?" Haigangfeng held the divine whip in his hand and pointed it lightly, and a ray of light escaped into the list of gods, with a sound like thunder.
An order was given, but 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 make the list of meritorious deities!"
The Merit List of Conferred Gods was established by Pei Xuanjing, the True Lord of Shenxiao at that time, to record the meritorious deeds of the human race participants in the Conferred Gods War.
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 just 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.
With the few meritorious services obtained, the little things add 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 reach the top of the list of meritorious deeds. After all, there are countless powerful forces in the world. Those sects in the Holy Land may not have enough people, but the number of strong people in those ancient countries is not at all. Although he is young, why is he able to take the lead?
The most important reason 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 did the Heavenly Court come from? It was the prototype of the Heavenly Court left by the co-master of the human race that Zhu Houcong obtained.
Not to mention other things, from this point alone, it is enough to make Zhu Houcong's meritorious service to the extreme, and no one can compare with it.
Therefore, when Haigang Peak unfolded the list of gods and began to confer orders on the gods, the golden light was seen flowing on the list. The next moment, Zhu Houcong's name was written on the position of the highest god on the list, the head of the six emperors.
"Today, Zhu Houcong, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, is consecrated as the supreme, supreme, natural, wonderful, Milo, and true Jade Emperor who rules over all the heavens, Haotian, and the Golden Tower."
"Today, I decree that Master Wu Goujian of the Sword Sect should be named the Gouchen Shanggong Emperor. He will be in charge of the North and South Poles, the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth and Man, command the stars, and preside over the affairs of the world's wars and revolutions."
"Today, Taoist Taoist Beichen of Tianji Pavilion is entrusted to be the Great Emperor of Zhongtian Ziwei North Pole. He is in charge of the latitude and longitude of the sky and the earth, so as to lead the star gods of the three realms and the gods of mountains and rivers."
"Today, the Taoist priest of Shenxiao Dao, Changsheng, is ennobled as the Supreme Shenxiao Jade Qingzhen King, the Great Emperor of Heaven, the Yuan Sheng Tianzun, who governs all spirits, controls the weather and transportation of the four seasons, can call for wind and rain, controls thunder and lightning, ghosts and gods, and is also the cardinal who controls the occurrence of misfortunes and blessings in all things. ”
"I now enthrone True Lord Qingxuan of the Wanling Sect as the Great Emperor of the Eastern Ultimate Yan Qinghua, who controls the underworld."
"I now decree that the Queen of the Witch God Sect will be the Emperor of the Heaven and follow the example of the Queen, and she will dominate the earth, mountains and rivers."
"Zhu Houcong accepts the seal!"
"Wu Gou Tingfeng!"
"Taoist Beichen listens to the seal!"
"There are many people who can live forever and listen to the seal!"
"Qingxuan listens to the seal!"
"Houtu Tingfeng!"
The Six Imperial Thrones can be said to be the most noble and powerful deities in the list of gods.
When the cultivators heard that these six prestigious positions were conferred, their eyes were full of envy.
However, everyone knows that such a noble and powerful position is not something they can covet. Without sufficient strength or background, they cannot even think about it.
In the central position of the 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.
Tianji Pavilion Beichen Taoist, Ziwei Dou Shu is unparalleled in the world, and is also famous in the Tianji Department. There is support from Patriarch Tianji behind him.
Qingxuan Taoist of Wanling Sect, whose magical skills can reach the gods. Although he was born in the devil's way, his skills in creation are extraordinary.
The Houtu clan of the Wushen Religion is extremely mysterious and related to the legendary Wushen Houtu, otherwise this name alone would not be something that ordinary monks of the Wushen Religion could 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?
There are many god positions in the sky. It can be said that many cultivators dare to think about other god positions, but no one has ever thought about the position of the Southern Pole Changsheng Great Emperor, even the True Immortals.
Everyone knows that this True Lord Shenxiao originally certified the position of the Southern Pole Changsheng Great Emperor. This title was included in the Conferred God List, but it was just a process to complete the formalities.
However, after the six emperors were conferred the title of the god position, some powerful people had some thoughts in their hearts.
It seems that this True Lord Shenxiao has occupied too many positions. After all, if you really look into it, three of the six emperor positions are directly related to him, and the remaining Sword Sect also has a good relationship with him.
Will this cause dissatisfaction among other True Immortals?
The future of the Heavenly Court can be foreseen. As long as you are not stupid, you can understand that the development of the human race and the development of the world will be led by the Heavenly Court.
Then whoever occupies enough positions in the Heavenly Court will be able to gain enough voice in the future.
In the past, it was because of the existence of the demon race that these human immortals united together. Now that there is no threat from the demon race, the contradictions among these immortals will inevitably be unable to be suppressed.
The struggle between good and evil, the struggle between Buddha and demon, the struggle between the orthodoxy of the Taoist sect, the collision between the forces of the scattered cultivators and the sect, and even the struggle between the sect and the Divine Dynasty, all these contradictions have always existed, but they have been suppressed because of the threat of the demon race.
Now that there is no external threat, internal contradictions will emerge, and it can even be said that they have begun to emerge.
As far as some powerful people know, after pacifying the mountains and rivers caused by the demon race, the former demon domain has been jointly shaped into a holy place for cultivation by many immortals.
However, as to who will be the winner of this holy place for cultivation, it has also caused some waves.
At first, many immortals did not intervene, but let the cultivators of the human race make their own choices. But in this process, some major forces united to exclude small forces and scattered cultivators, and occupied benefits beyond their own share.
This caused dissatisfaction among all parties, and a conflict broke out between the two sides. If it weren't for the timely intervention of Wang Bo'an, the commander of the human coalition, the first fight between human cultivators after the Conferred God War would have occurred immediately.
Although such things have been temporarily calmed down, it is not a good sign.
