Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Cangmingzi stood on the clouds, turned around and looked down at the huge Dragon God City.

His face was complicated, and his eyes, which had regained clarity, stared at a flower boat on Fengbo Lake.

He knew that Zhao Mu and Zhou Yu Niang were still in Shuiyue Pavilion and had not left.

"With the wisdom of Wanyu Taoist, you should have guessed that I didn't tell everything, right?"

Cangmingzi pursed his lips: "But this is not the fault of the old Taoist. After living in the world for a long time, he speaks three-tenths of the truth to everyone he meets. Isn't this normal?"

"Forget it, anyway, after this time, the old Taoist has no intention of having any intersection with him again. If he offends, then offend him. Just don't ask him to do things in the future."

"Well, the most important thing now is to find a place to retreat quickly. The gains from refining the ancient emperor's divine thoughts this time are really not small. I have to study it carefully."

After speaking, he stepped on the cloud and flew away.

...

Hanhai Continent, Jietian City.

Zhao Mu walked on the bustling streets, wearing a Taoist robe and looking leisurely.

"So this is the Jietian City of the Dynasty of Gods. It's not bad." Zhao Mu looked around and smiled.

Thousands of years have passed since Xiao Jinyun descended to the mortal world.

Over the past thousands of years, Xiao Jinyun has already completed the purpose of her descent to the mortal world, unifying the two mortal kingdoms on the Hanhai Continent and creating a new dynasty.

The name of the new dynasty is the Dynasty of Gods. The Jietian City where Zhao Mu is now is the capital of the Dynasty of Gods.

It is said that the two words "Jietian" were taken by Xiao Jinyun, meaning the place closest to heaven.

Although the Dynasty of Gods also has an emperor, it is different from the general imperial dynasty.

When Xiao Jinyun founded the Dynasty of Gods, in order to restrict the imperial power and prevent the country from suffering heavy losses due to the stupidity of a certain generation of emperors, he founded the God Envoy Court.

Since then, the Dynasty of Gods has become a country jointly governed by the God Envoy Court and the emperor.

And the God Envoy Court, as the name suggests, is a power center composed of gods from all sides.

Every envoy of the Divine Envoy Court must be recognized by at least one god before he can exercise his power.

When Zhao Mu heard about the power structure of the Dynasty of Gods, he was subconsciously surprised.

After all, the Divine Envoy Court created by Xiao Jinyun is essentially no different from the Council of Elders or the House of Representatives of some Western civilizations before he crossed over.

If he didn't know Xiao Jinyun very well, he would almost doubt whether Xiao Jinyun and himself came from the same place?

But it must be admitted that the Divine Envoy Court created by Xiao Jinyun did limit the imperial power to a great extent and prevented the emperor from being willful.

In Zhao Mu's view, the upper power structure created by Xiao Jinyun is indeed very suitable for the Dynasty of Gods.

After all, there is only one country on the Hanhai Continent now, and the Dynasty of Gods has no external enemies.

So in this external stable situation, the so-called wise and powerful emperor is indeed not as conducive to the stability of the government as the checks and balances of power.

In addition, it is precisely because of the existence of the Divine Envoy Court that the belief in gods of the entire dynasty has developed greatly over thousands of years.

The entire dynasty is full of temples, and countless mortals enter the temples every day to offer incense, which greatly improves the strength of the incense gods of all parties.

And the gods of all parties are indeed worthy of the mortals' offerings. Every incense god is loyal to his duties, conscientiously performs his duties, and benefits all living beings.

The four seasons of the eight directions rotate smoothly, the weather is good, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

However, in Zhao Mu's opinion, Xiao Jinyun's greatest achievement is that since she unified the entire Hanhai Continent and established the Dynasty of the Gods, there have been very few large-scale wars in the world.

Without the tragic war, there will be fewer tragic things in the world, and the lives of most people will naturally be stable and healthy.

It must be admitted that Xiao Jinyun has also done a lot of good deeds over the past thousands of years.

Strolling along the streets all the way, Zhao Mu visited Jietian City and saw many temples everywhere in the city.

Most of the people enshrined in those temples are the incense gods he canonized.

Speaking of which, over the past thousands of years, Zhao Mu has canonized many gods, making the operation of the heaven and earth of the Hanhai Continent more complete.

Among those gods, many are natives of the Hanhai Continent, but there are also many people and monsters who have great merits selected from the South and North by the Beehive and Sanshengtang.

Especially the monsters of the North Domain that have been canonized in recent years, Zhao Mu has almost gathered all the twenty-eight constellations.

"In fact, the continuous canonization of the incense and fire gods in recent years has almost reached the limit of the carrying capacity of the incense and fire peach wood."

"If I can't make further progress as soon as possible, I'm afraid it won't be long before I can continue to canonize the incense and fire gods, and the development of the Hanhai Continent will also fall into a bottleneck."

"But fortunately, the appearance of the fairy liquid is a timely rain."

"I believe that as long as the fairy liquid can be integrated, the incense and fire peach wood will definitely be able to go further, and the Hanhai Continent will naturally usher in another vigorous development."

Zhao Mu smiled slightly, and was more looking forward to the integration of the incense and fire peach wood with the fairy liquid.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly he raised his eyebrows and looked back, and saw a commotion at the end of the street.

It seemed that the imperial guards were clearing the streets and asking the people on the streets to avoid disturbing a nobleman's trip.

"What a grand ceremony, just a trip, but they have to clear the streets, I wonder what's going on?"

Zhao Mu pondered for a moment, then disappeared and stepped aside.

The world of immortals has its own rules, and the world of mortals has its own rules.

Everyone follows their own path. As long as they don't do anything that harms the heavens and the earth, there is no need to break the rules.

Privileges are something that can never be avoided.

A moment later, the imperial guards escorted a luxurious carriage and passed by, gradually going away.

It was only at this time that the people who had been avoiding the streets returned to the streets.

They looked at the carriage going away and whispered:

"Did His Majesty go to the Nine Heavens Goddess Temple again?"

"Well, the date should be correct. Our Majesty goes to the Nine Heavens Goddess Temple to stay for some time every year, and it seems that there is no exception."

"It's also normal. After all, our Dynasty of Gods was founded by the Nine Heavens Goddess. It is natural for His Majesty to respect the Nine Heavens Goddess."

"Hmph, what do you know? I heard that our Majesty's mind..."

"Hush... Stop talking. It is a capital crime to discuss the emperor!"

The people talked for a while and then dispersed. After all, they didn't say anything taboo, but Zhao Mu frowned.

Because he knew very well that the so-called Nine Heavens Goddess actually referred to Xiao Jinyun.

And the words that the people had not finished saying just now seemed to reveal a fact that made him unhappy.

So he stretched out his hand and grabbed a young man in the air, and no one around noticed the abnormality here.

And this young man was the one who hadn't finished speaking just now.
