Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 651: The Jade Emperor's Plan

"Lord of Thunder and Emperor of Plague, please stop interrupting." Amid the Jade Emperor's embarrassed look, the immortal who had previously come out to criticize Ao Bing continued to speak firmly, trying to bring the topic back to the previous point.

"What I am reporting is about the Four Great Dragon Gods killing the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, you take turns to govern the world and bear the weight of all living beings. How noble you are."

"Even if the Lord has made mistakes, all the gods should gather in Lingxiao to discuss his mistakes and then make a decision."

"And what about Ziwei Yuzun?"

"Not only is he innocent, but when he descended to the mortal world, he acted on behalf of the Heavenly Emperor with his orders."

"But the four great dragon gods, relying on their own strength, ignored Ziwei Yuzun's mission because of their own personal grudges. They did not see that Ziwei Yuzun was innocent, and they also ignored the orders of the Heavenly Court and brazenly killed Ziwei Yuzun."

"How is this different from assassinating the Emperor of Heaven and rebelling against Heaven?"

"I hope His Majesty the Jade Emperor will make the decision." The immortal said solemnly.

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother said that Ziwei's death was due to being involved in the right and wrong of others, and that even though he died, he could not blame others. However, this Xuanxian insisted to death that Ziwei's death was not due to grudges, but to fulfill the decree of the Emperor of Heaven.

Ao Bing killed Ziwei not because of any grudge, but because of his betrayal of Heaven.

"The Heavenly Court has always been impartial and has nothing to do with you or me." Ao Bing's voice was steady and calm.

"Ziwei is the ancestor of Ji Zhou. My grievances with Ji Zhou are also grievances with Ziwei."

"He is the Purple Emperor of Heaven, and has nothing to do with the human race, so I won't cause trouble for him."

“But now that he has set foot on the mortal world, and the light of Ziwei has spread over the ancestral temple of Ji Zhou, then he is not Bo Yikao, the Emperor of Ziwei, but Bo Yikao, the ancestor of Ji Zhou.”

"What's more, when he came to the mortal world, he did not read out the decree of the Heavenly Emperor, but first used the starlight of Ziwei to impose on the soldiers of the Ji Zhou ancestral temple, and took the initiative to step into the killing game in the mortal world."

"Could it be that after the Emperor of Heaven ascended the throne, he established new rules in the Heavenly Court - from then on, any god in the Heavenly Court who holds the Emperor of Heaven's decree can use the Emperor of Heaven's decree to gain respect and interfere in the grievances of the immortals and gods at will."

"If anyone refuses to listen, then he is defying Heaven and has a rebellious heart?"

"In that case, let's just add one more rule to the Heavenly Rules."

"From this moment on, all living beings between heaven and earth must not fight privately because of grudges - but if there are grudges, they must be reported to the Heavenly Court and asked the Emperor of Heaven to judge."

"Anyone who engages in private fighting is guilty."

As Ao Bing was talking, he suddenly sneered.

"In this way, there will be no private fights or grudges between heaven and earth, and naturally there will be fewer advantages and disadvantages."

"And if there are fewer pros and cons, there will be fewer people who act in a biased manner."

"With fewer people who are partial to their own interests, there will naturally be fewer people who violate the rules of heaven."

"This way, my Punishment Hall will surely be much easier."

"What do the gods think?"

Upon hearing this, all the gods in the temple, whether they were there to truly worship the Jade Emperor or to watch the fun, were silent at first, and then there was an uproar.

After all, if private fights were truly banned and everyone was cut off from settling personal grudges, then what would be the point of everyone working so hard to practice, hone their magic powers, and refine their techniques?

Is it just to file a complaint in heaven and to reason with the Emperor of Heaven?
What a joke.

Similarly, the Jade Emperor's expression also changed slightly.

The most difficult thing to judge between heaven and earth is grudges.

It involves pros and cons, human relationships, cause and effect, good and evil...almost everything between heaven and earth can be reflected in grudges.

Therefore, no matter how you try to settle a grudge, it is impossible to satisfy both parties.

Therefore, no matter how it is judged, there will always be people who feel dissatisfied and resentful about it.

——Dissatisfaction and resentment mean the ominous stain of heaven and earth.

Unlike the ominous stains produced by living beings when the gods perform their duties, the stains ultimately borne by the Great Lord Haotian.

The ominous stain caused by this kind of judgment of grudges is that because there is a specific judge for the grudges, the dissatisfaction and resentment will also have a real and specific target.

This also means that the ominous filth of heaven and earth caused by dissatisfaction and resentment will also flow towards specific targets.

This kind of filth of heaven and earth has a specific direction and a clear goal, and even the Great Celestial Venerable cannot bear it if he wants to.

The ominous filth of heaven and earth arises from the dissatisfaction and resentment of the creatures of heaven and earth - and among all the ominous filth, the ominous filth caused by grudges can be said to occupy a considerable portion.

If Ao Bing's words come true, all the grievances between heaven and earth will be handed over to the Jade Emperor to judge...

Then not only will the Jade Emperor be trapped here from now on, he will no longer have the energy to interfere in other matters between heaven and earth.

The ominous filth of heaven and earth caused by grudges will fall directly on him.

In this way, he truly became a tool to bear the ominous filth for the Great Lord Haotian - his authority was greatly restricted, but the ominous filth of heaven and earth that he had to bear increased drastically.

How could the Jade Emperor do such a thing?
"Lord Chongyi Zhentian, don't joke like that." The Jade Emperor's voice sounded, fearing that he would be slow to respond. Those gods in the Heavenly Court who were inclined towards Ao Bing and the Great Heavenly Venerable, such as those gods from the Jiejiao sect, went with the flow and naturally agreed to Ao Bing's proposal.

“Gratitude and grudges are not sins, so there is no right or wrong.”

"If there is no right or wrong, how can we judge?"

"Moreover, if we forbid all living beings from having the desire to end their grudges, then what we are forbidding is not the desire to end their grudges."

"In this vast world, with countless living beings, the murderous aura in their hearts must be dissipated along with their grudges even if they are afraid of death."

"Between heaven and earth, countless living beings all worship heaven and love mankind. From a hundred or thousand years' perspective, it may seem like a trivial matter, but what about after ten thousand years?"

"After that evil breath dissipates, who among the countless creatures in the world would dare to fight?"

"By that time, in the face of foreign enemies, what will happen to this vast world?"

"I am the Emperor of Heaven, and I should consider the heaven and earth. How dare I be greedy for a moment of peace and stability and ruin the future of heaven and earth?"

"All gods should know that you should not mention the words of judging grudges again. Otherwise, don't blame me for using the power of the Emperor of Heaven to suppress you and punish you with death for causing chaos in the world."

The Jade Emperor said with emotion.

Then, his words moved slightly again.

"However, as Yue Hui said, Ziwei's death is no small matter after all." "Since Chongyi Zhentian God has sworn that Ziwei Yuzun died because of interfering in grudges, then follow the rules of grudges."

“Lord Chongyi Zhentian God, have you settled the matter of King Mu’s visit to West Kunlun and the dispute between you and the King of Ji Zhou?” asked the Jade Emperor solemnly.

"Since everything has been cleared here, as for the Ji Zhou clan and Zi Wei's subordinates, whether they have cleared it or not is their business."

"But, anyway, I'll go on."

"Now that it's clear, don't blame me for being rude." The Jade Emperor nodded.

"There is no right or wrong in grudges. Grudges themselves have no taboos."

"But the process of resolving grudges and the means of resolving grudges are also within the control of heavenly law."

"The Lord of Chongyi and Heaven is in charge of the great importance of the Heavenly Principles. I don't need to say more about this."

See the picture poorly.

This is the Jade Emperor’s real killer move.

The Heavenly Court does not care about grudges, but it does care about the process after the grudges.

——Using Ziwei’s death as an introduction, it transformed into an incomparably majestic sun.

Under the light of the sun, all of Ao Bing's words and deeds since he set foot on the human world were laid out on the table word by word and action by action, for people to ponder carefully.

During this process, if Ao Bing's words or actions in any way crossed the boundaries of the Heavenly Rules, there would be something to make of it - he was the official in charge of the punishment who was in charge of the heavy death laws of the Heavenly Rules, and he was the most insurmountable bottom line of the Heavenly Rules.

If even he, the god who holds the bottom line, has crossed the limits of the Heavenly Rules, then what dignity do the Heavenly Rules have?

As the saying goes, knowing the law and breaking it is a more serious crime. And people like Ao Bing, who hold the bottom line, have crossed that line, so they will be punished with an additional level of crime on top of the more serious one!
This is the breakthrough point that the Jade Emperor has been thinking about.

Heavenly rules!

The Heavenly Rules restrain all gods. Haotian's two absolute confidants, Ao Bing and Yang Jian, one is in charge of death and the other is in charge of life. Together, they control the Heavenly Rules tightly.

Under the rules of heaven, the gods only need to follow the rules and abide by the rules of heaven. They don't have to sell face to anyone, and they don't have to worry about someone plotting against them in secret with despicable means.

Therefore, even though the Jade Emperor is the head of the Six Heavenly Emperors and the rotating Emperor of Heaven, the gods in Heaven will still not give you face when they shouldn't - so what if you walk upright and sit upright, even if you are the Emperor of Heaven?

Even if there were disputes about right and wrong among the gods, as long as they were within the framework of the Heavenly Rules, the right and wrong would naturally become clear, and there would be no need for him, the Emperor of Heaven, to mediate or judge.

In this case, where does his honor and authority come from as the Emperor of Heaven?
Therefore, in order to control the Heavenly Court and truly extend one's influence to every aspect of the Heavenly Court, the best means of entry is the Heavenly Rules!
He is the one who controls the rules of heaven.

As the Jade Emperor, the head of all gods and emperors, he must have the means to control all gods.

And this method is the Heavenly Rules - in other words, among those who are in charge of the Heavenly Rules within the Heavenly Court, there must be his people.

In this way, he can use the rules of heaven to control the gods.

However, the law of life was too complicated - he was unable to correct Yang Jian's mistake.

Because outside of legal principles, there is nothing but human feelings. The reason why living laws are living laws is that there is a certain degree of flexibility in them. When Yang Jian is judging living laws, he will also make some concessions because of the entanglement between legal principles and human feelings, so that the behavior of the gods can be more biased in the direction that is beneficial to heaven and earth.

This concession is recognized and tacitly approved by all gods.

If the Jade Emperor wanted to control Yang Jian in this way, it would mean that he was sending a signal to the gods.

That is, he does not allow the laws of nature to have such a balance between legal principles and human feelings.

Under such circumstances, the gods' perception of him is that of an emperor as strict as Ao Bing - this will only make the gods stay away from him, not get close to him.

Since he couldn't start from Ao Bing, he could only start from Yang Jian.

After all, the law of death that Ao Bing controls absolutely does not allow for flexibility - if the Jade Emperor wants to use this to make trouble for Ao Bing, no one can say anything wrong, let alone any wild speculation.

As for whether he could find fault with Ao Bing, the Jade Emperor believed that he could.

After all, Ao Bing was settling a grudge - and when settling a grudge, who would go to the trouble of following the rules and regulations instead of taking the easy way out?

After all, in the past, although the Heavenly Court would investigate the process of grudges, it was mostly just a formality. Unless the person was truly guilty of a heinous crime during the process of settling the grudge, or the person happened to run into the Heavenly Court, otherwise, no one in the Heavenly Court would harshly criticize others for settling the grudge in the process.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor believed that even if Ao Bing was familiar with every Heavenly Rule, it would be impossible for him to completely avoid violating them.

There is no such person between heaven and earth!
Even if Ao Bing would intentionally restrain himself after knowing his own existence - but what about before he knew of his own existence?

He is bound to be wrong.

The Jade Emperor is absolutely sure about this!

"The Jade Emperor is right."

"After the grudge, the process of the grudge should be investigated."

"Some actions, such as using the name of gratitude and grudges to settle disputes, should not be taken at all." Ao Bing also nodded.

The real intention is exposed, and you are using this grudge to find out his faults?
so what?

Just check it!

At this moment, Ao Bing felt unprecedentedly grateful.

After he became a disciple of the Great Venerable, what the Great Venerable taught him most was not magical powers or techniques, but teaching him through words and deeds what it means to be upright!
When doing things within the universe, one must be upright and abide by the rules.

And under the influence of the Great Celestial Venerable, Ao Bing's situation was indeed moving in this direction.

Coupled with the support of enormous resources from Dragon Palace and West Kunlun, Ao Bing almost never had to worry about what he would lack in his cultivation.

Therefore, even though he held authority that was unimaginable to others, he hardly ever used this authority to seek any personal gain for himself—not counting the Source of Heaven and Earth he gained from executing death row prisoners.

It is also because of this that when Ao Bing dealt with the rumors about King Mu, his actions were also upright and did not violate the rules in the slightest.

So, check!
Feel free to check.

Ao Bing was very curious about how the Jade Emperor would react when his people found nothing after investigating the matter from beginning to end.

"Your Majesty, the person in charge of the Criminal Court bears the heavy responsibility of enforcing the laws of the Heavenly Court. As he is acting as an investigator, it is not easy for him to carry out punishment during this period."

"How about asking someone to take over the power of punishment temporarily?" Another divine man stepped forward.
