Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 630: Mount Li Beacon Fire
"Why are you so alarmed?"

"Have you forgotten the principle of staying calm when facing important events?" As the host of this place, Taoist Shen Yuan felt a little embarrassed because of his reckless disciple, so he scolded him - after all, not long ago, he had boasted to other Taoist friends how outstanding his disciple was.

Who would have thought that, not long after that, this steady and self-disciple of his would make a fool of himself in front of so many people.

A cultivator, a person who has reached the status of an immortal, cannot even control his own energy?

If you don’t know, you might think he used some unorthodox means to ascend to heaven.

"Uncle Grand Master, something really big has happened." The young Taoist said breathlessly.

"Just now, the Human King went to the Huai River and offered sacrifices to the Four Great Dragon Gods in the Huai River."

"But he forcibly dragged the dispute between him and the Four Great Dragon Gods into the struggle for power in West Kunlun."

As the young Taoist priest spoke, he handed over the silk book in his hand. On the silk book was the content of the prayer that the Human King Ji Gongnie had copied when he offered sacrifices to Ao Bing.

"What did you say?" Hearing the expression of the young Taoist, the Taiyi Taoists gathered here were all shocked. They directly reached out and snatched the silk book handed over by the Taoist and began to read the contents.

Just as the young Taoist said, the content of this sacrificial text was not at all what the Human King had promised them, a sacrificial text to apologize to West Kunlun and to clarify the rumors.

Instead, they added more exaggeration to the original content.

Ao Bing's actions towards Haojing and his determination to go to war have made many immortals and gods realize that the Biography of King Mu was just a rumor, and they also realized the serious consequences of making up such rumors - it's just that mortals have not yet realized this.

Before Taoist Gu Xiang went to find Ao Bing, the Human King also promised them that he was willing to go to the Huai River to sacrifice to Ao Bing, the Great Dragon God of the Four Rivers, and to clarify the rumor to heaven and earth.

But now it seems that they have all been fooled by the Human King!

During this sacrifice, the Human King not only did not clarify his rumors as promised, but went a step further and used the sacrifice to tell the heaven and earth and all the spirits that the dispute between Ao Bing and him was a dispute over the authority of West Kunlun.

And this is undoubtedly telling all spirits in the most intuitive way.

The content in the Biography of King Mu is true!
That's not a rumor.

King Mu, the human king of Ji Zhou, really had a love affair with the Queen Mother of the West - not only that, that love affair has even continued to the present day, to the point that the lineage of the human king of Ji Zhou has the qualification to inherit the authority of West Kunlun.

As a human king who is qualified to set foot on West Kunlun, Ji Gongnie is willing to exchange the opportunity to set foot on West Kunlun for calm waters in the human world from Ao Bing, the great dragon god of the Four Rivers.

Although Ao Bing's actions had been known to many immortals and gods, the words about West Kunlun in the Biography of King Mu were fabricated rumors.

But now, after this sacrifice, is that rumor really still a rumor?
That was something that the king of a country proved through a grand sacrifice.

The most honorable person between heaven and earth is, of course, the Great Celestial Lord - throughout the ages, there has only been one Great Celestial Lord between heaven and earth.

And below the Great Celestial Lord is the Human King.

In one era, there is more than one saint, and even more than one Daluo.

But there is only one Human King and the Great Celestial Lord who jointly rule this world.

A word from the King of Men is as heavy as nine tripods.

This is the Human King.

Throughout the ages, from the Emperor of Man to the King of Man, every one of them can guarantee that although they may not act with a clear conscience, the words that come out of their mouths are absolutely true - there may be omissions, but they are absolutely true.

Therefore, everyone between heaven and earth will believe what the kings of all generations say.

This is the gold content of the Human King, the gold content accumulated by generation after generation of Human Emperors and Human Kings between heaven and earth.

But now...

"All of this was ruined by Ju Ji Gongnie!" a Taoist said angrily.

Using the words of the Human King to prove a rumor and to endorse a rumor, how stupid must the Human King be to do such a thing?
For the sake of the interests of one generation, the good reputation accumulated by hundreds and thousands of previous generations was burned up - neither Xia Jie nor Shang Zhou had ever done such a thing!

The other Taiyi Taoist's face twitched - he had also read the contents of the sacrificial text.

There is nothing fabricated in the content. It can be said that just like the rules of the Human King, every word is true - but the consequences of this truth are even more terrifying than those of lies.

If the credibility of the Human King is completely gone, then in the future all the gods between heaven and earth will be cautious when dealing with humans, and it will be impossible for them to open their hearts to humans.

However, those great gods do not dare to communicate with the human race, and do not dare to transfer their roots to the human race. Then, on what basis can the human race become the true master between heaven and earth?

"Should we assassinate him?" A Taiyi Taoist frowned.

"Although the Human Crown Prince is still young, if the kings jointly rule the human race, it may be possible to hold on until the Human Crown Prince grows up."

"It's too late!" The Taiyi Taoist who spoke first said in a sad voice.

It's too late.

What is the difference between the current situation and the Human King formally declaring war on Ao Bing?
As for these immortal gods who were on the side of the human race, they had just tried to persuade Ao Bing to be tolerant, and for this, Taoist Gu Xiang paid the price with his life - and right after they had persuaded Ao Bing, the Human King pushed the situation to an even more irreconcilable point.

Under such circumstances, all of them have been kidnapped by the Human King!
Their position has fallen from being above the human race to being above the human king.

At least, that's the case in front of Ao Bing.

In the eyes of the human race, after the Human King expressed his concession to Ao Bing in such an "extremely sincere" attitude, if Ao Bing continued to pester him, it would be considered that Ao Bing was being unreasonable - and for the human race, especially the powerful human race, taking a step back was already a very sincere move.

If Ao Bing continued to pester them now that they had already taken a step back, not only would Ao Bing's reputation be greatly damaged, but the entire human race would feel that their King had been bullied and would stand on his side.

Similarly, those human immortal gods who try to reconcile the two sides will become unpopular both inside and outside - Ao Bing will not trust them, and the human race will also reject them because they do not stand on the side of the Human King.

For these immortal gods who stand on the side of the human race and have always been working for the overall interests of the human race, such an ending can be said to be more painful than death.

"I've been tricked!" Taiyi Taoist closed his eyes with a look of pain.

"After King Li, this generation of human kings has mastered the power of words to perfection."

It's either this or that. This extreme state has always been something that these immortals and gods try to avoid as much as possible.

However, the Human King Ji Gongnie, with just a few words, provoked the human race into this state of either this or that with an attitude of "being wronged". And this time, the sacrifice went beyond the other princes, and the voice of the Human King was heard by the people under the rule of those princes. This, combined with the content of the King Mu's biography, can be said to be easy for Ji Gongnie to gain the support of most of the people - this time, the Human King's Qi channel became more stable, and the bond with humanity became closer.

"Don't sigh, fellow Taoists." The last Taiyi Taoist patted the table in front of him, "There is no point in discussing the situation now."

"We now only have the power to choose."

"Should we support the Human King, or watch from the sidelines, or perhaps, support the Four Great Dragon Gods?"

"We can only choose to support the Human King." The other Taiyi Daojuns all had painful expressions on their faces - the war was about to break out, even if it was not a full-scale war, it was a small-scale war against the Human King.

And in such a war, if they dare not support the Human King, those people who do not know the truth and can represent the human race will be able to expel them from the human race - how come, they all say they are fighting for the human race on weekdays, but when it comes to fighting for the human race, they dare not take action?
This is betrayal.

And the betrayal hidden within is more hateful than making the separation clear from the beginning.

……

"The decoy troops of other vassal states are no longer useful." By the Xiaochi River, Li Nu looked at the sacrificial text sent by her own gods with a calm expression - when the anger exceeded a certain limit, the White Tiger God became strangely calm.

However, the bright white tiger light between heaven and earth had already made people clearly aware of the murderous intent that came from the lord of the white tiger constellation.

"If it can't be used, then it can't be used." There was some regret on Ao Bing's face, but then the regret faded away.

In his estimation, the force that would destroy Haojing would be the Rongdi tribe - but the Rongdi tribe still needed time to grow.

In order to buy time, Ao Bing also selected several vassal states, such as Chu and Qin, as his "deceptive troops".

But now, this strategy of confusing the enemy with a new one obviously cannot be used.

In a sacrifice, Ji Gongnie acted as if he had been wronged, and successfully gained the "support" of the people - under such circumstances, even a vassal state like the State of Chu would not openly oppose Ji Gongnie, let alone make a move to use military force against Haojing.

This means that with the power that Ao Bing used to break Haojing, the inconspicuous Rongdi tribe would be immediately exposed to Haojing - after all the princes submitted, only the Rongdi tribe would have the possibility of becoming the enemy of Haojing.

"Let's annihilate the Rongdi tribe." After returning to Haojing, Ji Gongnie issued his first call for war against the human race, ordering the armies of the major vassal states to go out together to destroy the Rongdi tribe that was wandering on the grassland.

"It's like the sky is falling." In the Xiaochi River, Ao Bing raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Haojing.

Ji Zhou's army has not yet gone out to sweep the border, but the mighty atmosphere of war and murder has already spread across this vast grassland.

The light of the white tiger, which represented Li Nu's anger, seemed to have become a help to Ji Gongnie, making the atmosphere on the prairie even more solemn and murderous.

"Junior brother, should we hide from the spotlight for a while?" Li Nu stood up.

Although she still had immense anger and murderous intent in her heart, she was not unable to see the situation clearly - the Rongdi tribe was now like a child, while the Ji Zhou army that was about to attack was composed of fully armed soldiers.

In the face of the war that is about to begin, the Rongdi tribe will not have any chance of winning.

Rather than letting the Rongdi tribe be wiped out here, it would be better to let them retreat further west, strengthen their foundation, build up their wings, and then make a comeback.

"We can't retreat like this." Ao Bing shook his head.

The Rongdi tribe was a tribe that was eliminated from the human sequence of the Ji Zhou Dynasty and was struggling to survive on this prairie.

As the excluded part, they were naturally cowardly and inferior when facing the orthodoxy of Ji Zhou.

If they retreated at this time, the Rongdi tribe would not be able to hold their weapons firmly when they saw Ji Zhou's army passing by.

"No matter what, we must let the Rongdi tribe see Ji Zhou's blood first." Ao Bing pondered.

As his thoughts followed, intermittent wind and rain began to roll in between the prairie and the border between Haojing.

In the wind and rain, the solemnity originating from the White Tiger slowly blended into it, making the wind and rain even more desolate and cold.

In the wind and rain, the power of the plague formation was looming - although its power was not as great as Lu Yue's plague formation, which could directly spread the plague to all corners of the world, under the influence of Ao Bing's plague formation, the plague energy in the prairie was also integrated into the intermittent wind and rain during the operation of the formation, making the intermittent wind and rain, in addition to the sorrow and coldness, have a power that makes people sick.

"Haven't you figured out the auspicious time to send out the troops yet?" In Haojing, Ji Gongnie cast his gaze on the newly appointed director of the Imperial Observatory.

He felt the chill in the wind and rain, and his heart became more and more anxious.

After the order to pacify the Rong and Di tribes was issued, all the vassal states, large and small, had sent out their armies to gather outside the city of Haojing. As the armies gathered, the humanitarian spirit in the city of Haojing became more and more intense.

Under this extremely fiery aura of humanity, the magic power in his body, which was already not very stable, was once again depleted.

And Bao Si, the celestial fox whom he had chosen to share the pressure of humanity, was also his beloved. Under the pressure of this overwhelming humanity, she also fell half ill and became increasingly weak.

As the king of men, he naturally knew the reason.

The existence of the celestial fox can certainly erode the human spirit, but when the power of the human spirit exceeds the limit that the celestial fox can bear, its erosion of the human spirit will, in turn, turn into erosion of the human spirit by it.

At that time, its existence, far from eroding the spirit of humanity, will instead strengthen it.

This is a secret unique to the Sky Fox lineage and the Human King. It is also the secret that the Sky Fox is not repelled by the human spirit. At the same time, this is also a situation that Ji Gongnie absolutely cannot tolerate.

It is impossible for him to find a second Heavenly Fox to share the energy of humanity with him, to divert the attention of the energy of humanity for him, so that the magic power in his body can digest the energy of the King of Man and become the Qi of the King of Man!

"We have to find a way to increase Baosi's resistance to the energy of humanity." Ji Gongnie stood on the top of the city wall and looked at the huge army outside the city.

Although the existence of the army suppressed him to a certain extent, and even consumed the hidden magic power in his body, and these armies did not all obey his orders, he did not have any great ill will towards these armies - after all, as long as he achieved the Qi of the Human King, these armies would become his strength and the foundation for his further progress.

The army was stationed at the foot of Mount Li.

On top of Mount Li, there was a beacon fire burning, and the flames symbolized the progress of the army's gathering.

"Guo Shifu, pass on my order, and the beacon fire will be reduced by half."

"Half of the troops of various countries stationed at the foot of Mount Li will be sent back, and half of the troops of the princes on the way will also be sent back." Looking at the beacon fire that reflected the momentum of the army, in just a moment, this thought emerged in Ji Gongnie's mind.

Since the army is too powerful and the human energy is too intense, even Baosi, the celestial fox, cannot bear it, so we just need to reduce the size of the army by half.

Anyway, the Rongdi tribe is weak, and it is not necessary to use such a large army to wipe them out.
