TaiHao

As we all know, Jiang Yuanchen has a lot of eyes and thinks too much. He is not a one-minded person who listens to whatever he wants. After listening to the opinions of both parties, I hesitated and calculated the future prospects of the two layouts on my own.

Should we maintain the status quo or further reduce the number of gods?

The river map is running in the hands of Haotian Golden Tower, calculating the pros and cons.

The two plans have their own merits, and I can’t say much about them at the moment.

"Please ask the Holy Emperor of Heaven to judge!"

Suddenly, several mountain god princes around Hou Tu came out and knelt before the vacant throne of the Heavenly Emperor, obviously hoping that the Heavenly Emperor's golden words would determine the general trend.

Emperor Ziwei's face was calm, and he saw a flash of inspiration for the Emperor of Heaven, and he threw himself into Emperor Ziwei. The emperor said: "This matter is still being coordinated. Emperor Houtu's plan is certainly feasible, but where the gods who have been eliminated will be located, the ranking of the gods, and the exploration and re-establishment of mountains and rivers will all take time to be perfected. And , Emperor Gou Chen has not returned, this matter will eventually have to be expressed by the four emperors, and then reported to the Emperor of Heaven."

To directly let the Emperor of Heaven decide, that is to throw the cause and effect to the Emperor of Heaven. If something goes wrong in the future, it will be Jiang Yuanchen who will fight. Of course, after the four emperors communicate with each other, the sharing of karma and cause will be decided by the Emperor of Heaven.

However, according to what Emperor Ziwei vaguely revealed, Murong Wan'er's heart moved: "Could he be following this idea and want to deprive himself of the divine status?"

Yes, according to the arrangement of Shinto, the order of the guardian gods is the king of heaven, the marshal, the god general, and the Taoist soldier, which is the so-called heavenly soldier and heavenly general.

However, Jiang Yuanchen intended to make a big change. One hundred thousand Dao soldiers were of no use at all. Even at the peak of the Jade Liquid Stage, it was impossible to cause harm to the higher-ups without entering the golden elixir.

But what if there are 100,000 golden elixir monks? With one hundred thousand golden elixir monks leading a thousand real people, even the immortals have to retreat, right?

Therefore, he intends to reduce the heavenly army. The three levels of Heavenly King, Heavenly General and Heavenly Soldier are determined, and the weakest Heavenly Soldier must be of golden elixir strength. The king of heaven is another name for the marshal. Now Commander Luo Xi leads the Tianhe navy, and the three guardian gods each hold the position of marshal. They are all preparing for the gods.

But, the heavenly army is the heavenly army. The god of earth is the god of the earth. The ascendance of the Earth God will undoubtedly increase Murong Wan'er's power. Jiang Yuanchen also needs to be careful about this goddess's plans. Moreover, the heavenly army is only shaped by incense, unlike the earth god, who is very involved and has too much influence. It needs to be considered more slowly.

"The greatest advantage of this Heavenly Emperor is prudence, but the greatest disadvantage is caution." Seeing that Emperor Ziwei delayed mentioning it, Taishang Zhenjun thought to himself: "But it is difficult for me to make a choice even if we are in a different place. After all, The courage to bear the consequences. It is precisely because of his omniscience that he is more scrupulous." He had just deduced it again, and also realized that both plans had their own pros and cons, and both plans would need to be improved in the future.

"However, the plan Mother Earth said to connect the blessed land and arrange new nodes deep in the earth to extract evil spirits coincides with one of my ideas." Emperor Ziwei smiled and said: "The method of birthing a star is the true legend of Beidou. I want to be in death silence. He forcibly raised a star and threw it into the human world, turning it into the son of the calamity to trigger the immortal way to kill the calamity and clean up the cause and effect for thousands of years. At that time, the killing energy will dissipate the resentment, and this child will also have the opportunity to achieve enlightenment and fly to the sky."

"Using the Dead Silence Layer to create a lucky being?" Murong Wan'er's eyes lit up. Think about the possibilities of this plan. "If the birth star succeeds, we can indeed try. There are still seven hundred years left to kill the calamity, so it would be better to make arrangements earlier."

The gods changed the subject. After discussing this issue, no one mentioned the Earth God Plan just now. Various departments reported on their work, and Qianjidian, Tiangongfu, etc. presented their research results for the year.

"A bunch of rubbish technologies." After listening to the technical explanations one by one, Emperor Taishan couldn't help but said: "Those formation spells in the Thousand Machines Palace in front are just that. Tiangong Mansion studies this kind of mirror to see illusions, only for those under the golden elixir. It is helpful, but it is of no use to my overall situation in heaven. I can wait for a spell to offset the function of this illusion-breaking mirror."

"Not necessarily." Emperor Ziwei thought: "The cost of this kind of treasure mirror is half that of the magic weapon used by monks. At the same time, it can be mass-produced. You can completely refer to the method of superimposing talismans to jointly refine the treasure mirrors. Didn't Qianji Temple just put forward a theory of rainbow light? Do you think that sunlight can decompose various colors of light? It can be combined with this to break the illusion. Illusions can also be arranged. Moreover, if mixed with the human emperor's energy, it can flow into the mortal world, which can reduce the number of monks. The possibility of confusing mortals." Emperor Ziwei pointed his finger and put a talisman into Qian Zhengyu's hand: "Research in this direction."

"Funding remains the same."

"But Your Majesty, Tiangong Mansion and other institutions have been stuck in bottlenecks in recent years. The jade spirit mines allocated to them every year can completely build a batch of armors to enhance the strength of the Heavenly Army." The Sky Thunder God was dissatisfied: "At present, our technology has already Mature, why are you focusing so much on these research departments?”

"Knowledge, this is what I value. There is no useless technology, only people who don't know how to use it." Emperor Ziwei waved his hand: "Of course, in order not to follow the facts, research departments such as Tiangong Mansion and Qianji Palace, It’s better to bring out some more things that everyone can use!”

"Senior brother of yours is holding on to the technology project under a lot of pressure, forcing major departments to hand over new technologies every year." Taishang Zhenjun chatted with Chu Chaoyun: "Although many times the things handed over by these departments are It is not of great use, but the Emperor of Heaven always has the power to turn decay into magic, and can find ways to implement these things into useful places. Nowadays, Qi training methods are promoted among mortals, and some magic weapons have begun to be popularized among mortals. Therefore, In the future, Qi training may become a necessary exercise for mortals. By then, the number of foundation-building monks will have increased at least several times. At that time, in order to avoid the bloated phenomenon of low-level Shinto gods, I am afraid that the Earth Mother's plan must be passed. "

Link after link, in just over two hundred years and nearly three hundred years, the original plan set by Heavenly Court began to show shortcomings. Because of the progress of mortals and the technology of immortality falling into the mortal world, the world of spiritual practice will usher in a huge leap forward. Foundation-building monks abound, and Golden Core monks are the ones who have truly entered the Tao. Real people are probably no longer as precious as they were hundreds of years ago. Immortals will be the mainstream in the future. Then, there will indeed not be that many divine thrones left to the foundation-building monks by then, so it is inevitable to improve the qualifications for part-time Shinto.

After the court meeting dispersed, Emperor Houtu took his family to the Death Layer to study and examine whether the birth star plan mentioned by Jiang Yuanchen was feasible.

"Sister, do you think this Emperor of Heaven will really agree?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as he understands what I mean." Murong Wan'er stood in the underworld and looked at the sky, thinking silently: "Fellow Taoist, they say that we have the same mind. I hope you can understand my intention this time."

Chu Chaoyun did not go to his workplace like others. He is only in the heaven in name, and has just established his immortal mansion. He doesn’t even have his own job. After saying goodbye to the Supreme Lord, he walked into the back hall of Ziwei Palace.

Jiang Yuanchen was thinking quietly about Murong Wan'er's actions: "If you want power, you need to increase your strength? Why is she increasing her strength?"

Jiang Yuanchen knew Murong Wan'er very well. For this goddess, the first priority was the world, the second priority was herself, and the third priority was the people around her.

There is nothing wrong with Jiang Yuanchen ruling the world now. Logically speaking, this goddess should not confront herself. "Increasing the power of the Houtu lineage will inevitably arouse my suspicion. This is a rule that was already established when I was granted the title of emperor. Fighting against me will only lead to internal strife. The Beidou lineage is not weaker than her Nether lineage. Let alone , I still have people in the Netherworld. According to her temperament, she will never risk triggering a world-level conflict. She has seen my plan. Want to take a ride? Then you should wait for me to bring it up first. "

"Or is she willing to risk internal strife in the world to accomplish this? The only advantage of this is to clean up Shen Ke of the Houtu family and make the Houtu family more united around her. Wait... ...What is she doing to increase her strength? Currently, I am in the Hedao state, and she will not attack me, nor can she attack me. So she wants to attack others and needs to increase her strength?"

"Is there someone in Kyushu who made her feel like she was facing a powerful enemy?" Jiang Yuanchen's expression changed, and he leaned against the throne with his hands on his cheek, thinking about Murong Wan'er's target.

"And why not just ask?"

"Because she is afraid that the news will be exposed."

"There is a traitor in Kyushu!"

Think for a while. Suddenly the golden boy came to report, and Chu Chaoyun came to see him. Jiang Yuanchen came back to his senses and said: "Tong'er, go to Taoist Tianmen and borrow the Tianji Mirror. I can use it."

Then he changed into regular clothes and met Chu Chaoyun in Taoyuan.

The peach tree planted in Jiang Yuanchen's hand in the peach garden is now absorbing the essence in the heaven, and there are stars shining, and it has the appearance of a fairy tree.

"Junior brother is looking for me?"

Seeing Jiang Yuanchen sitting under a tree in a blue shirt, Chu Chaoyun walked over and sat across from him: "Go back to Jiuzhou. Let's chat with my senior brother when I'm bored." It felt a little unreal, what Jiuzhou was like back then. What Kyushu looks like now, this new immortal feels a little ridiculous that the changes have been too great.

"Really? What do you want to do after opening the Immortal Mansion?"

"What do you want to do?" Chu Chaoyun thought about it. He shook his head and said, "There's nothing I want to do. Anyway, I'm going to become an immortal outside, so I don't need to receive a priesthood, right?"

Seeing Chu Chaoyun's appearance, Jiang Yuanchen became angry and said, "I don't need you to work, but if you are idle every day, be careful that the three teachers drag you to work."

Silver boy held the tea table and arranged the tea sets one by one.

"What do you think of Kyushu now?"

"It's not bad. Anyway, in our time, we never imagined that Kyushu would reach this point in the future. This is the credit of senior brother."

"Credit?" Jiang Yuanchen shook his head, holding up the tea cup and looking at the green tea: "The merits and demerits will be discussed by future generations, but if they can save some words, I will thank God if they say that I have mixed merits and demerits."

"So pessimistic?" Chu Chaoyun asked in surprise.

"The position of the Emperor of Heaven may seem glamorous, but every move involves all kinds of cause and effect and attracts criticism. Doing it is wrong, and not doing it is also wrong. If you do too much, you are said to be clinging to power, but if you do too little, you are said to be indifferent. One thing is It can be called a good deed in the present time, but it will have bad consequences a thousand years later. The Emperor of Heaven does not focus on the immediate future, but on the overall situation of the whole world." The tea cup was overturned, and the tea inside was tilted like a line.

Chu Chaoyun's eyes suddenly changed. What a vast river it was. The starry sky sinking to the bottom of the river is just one of them, pouring into the future.

"This is the fate of the Nine Provinces, which is formed by the convergence of the fate of all beings from the origin of heaven and earth. It is not the fate of a single person, but the fate of the entire Nine Provinces."

The life river of the entire Kyushu is rolling towards the future. Even those who are not very experienced in Chu Chao Yun Dao can still see several scenes corresponding to the future. With the proposals just discussed at the meeting, there are several possibilities in the future.

"I am the Emperor of Heaven, controlling the river of life. If heaven and earth were a ship, I would be the helmsman and captain of it. I am cautious every moment of the day and dare not be negligent. Because one of my thoughts will have extremely bad consequences in the future. Because we see Got it, that’s why there’s pressure.”

What is the biggest difference between Tianxian and Daojun?

One can only see, but the other can move as he pleases.

A real person only observes a part of the heaven. Although he stands in the world and understands his true face, his heart is clear when he observes the heaven. But standing within the world, in the mountains, not knowing the panoramic view, not knowing the entire movement of heaven, so the ignorant have no fear.

However, as the gods gradually improve, they understand more and more that the ways of heaven are unpredictable and uncontrollable. You want to interfere, but fate will backfire and slide in the direction you least expect. It only has the power to see, but not the possibility of change. Even if Jiang Yuanchen turned the tide when Kyushu was destroyed, he could only save some people but could not save the entire world.

But the Dao Lords are different. The Dao Lords open the world in the void and don't care about the gains and losses of a world at all. If Kyushu eventually declines, it can completely suppress it with its own power and move with the world.

When Jiang Yuanchen was worried about gains and losses in the Kyushu Realm, those Dao Lords had the confidence and qualifications to focus on the broader world, the entire universe.

Only when you can see that you can't do it can you understand your own incompetence more deeply.

This is the case for immortals like Chu Chaoyun, not to mention existences like Jiang Yuanchen who are close to Dao Lord.

If the image seen by ordinary immortals is one and the image seen by Dao Lord is ten, then Chang Ming can see nine points. However, his strength does not match his realm at all, and he understands his helplessness even more.

"So, let's prove the truth as soon as possible!" After sighing, he took back his magical power, and the two of them appeared under the peach tree again. Jiang Yuanchen said with a smile: "I have been the emperor for three thousand years. After that, I abdicated and became detached. I did not ask for praise from all living beings, but only asked them to leave some words. Seven points of merit and three points of fault are my happiest results. Five points of fault are five points. The merit can be accepted, but as for three merits and seven demerits... let future generations comment." It is quite helpless, in the face of time, any merits and favors are in vain.
