Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 653: The meeting of the princes, the four decrees

"How dare Ao Bing disobey the orders of the sage?"

"As for that sacred matter, the Four Seas Dragon Palace will naturally cooperate with all its strength."

“No matter where he goes to train after his rebirth, the Four Seas Dragon Palace can guarantee that he will have a smooth journey.” Looking at Subhuti, who was dressed as a Taoist in front of him, Ao Bing was also solemn.

The so-called smooth sailing means that there will be raging waves one after another, which can make the life of the extraordinary sacred being hang by a thread between the wind and waves, knowing the great power of heaven and earth, and ensuring its safety in the wind and waves.

"In addition, I have a small request." Subhuti said again, with an embarrassed look.

“That divine island in the East Sea is the dojo of the Heavenly Lord, but it is also the hometown of my disciple, and it is the place where his soul rests.”

"After my disciple has completed his studies, I may have some plans on that Divine Island to stimulate his fighting spirit. By then, I am afraid that the Tianzun Dojo may be harmed."

"But please rest assured, Tianzun, no matter what damage Tianzun's temple has suffered, after the matter is over, I will naturally use the foundation of Buddhism to go back in time and space to manage Tianzun's temple and restore it to its original state."

"In addition, when the Heavenly Venerable opens up the outer realm, our Buddhist sect will also fully cooperate with the Heavenly Venerable."

"In that case, thank you very much, Saint." Ao Bingli said.

He offered one of his own temples to the saint as a prop to inspire his disciples - it was quite humble to say the least.

But in fact, the one who was truly humble was the saint Subhuti.

There are six saints between heaven and earth, each with his own temperament.

The nature of the Bodhisattva Cundi is that Taoism is supreme.

No matter whether the affairs of heaven and earth are noble or humble, and no matter whether the people of heaven and earth are strong or weak, as long as they are related to the inheritance and promotion of the Buddhist tradition, there is nothing that the Bodhisattva Cundi is unwilling to do, and no one that the Bodhisattva Cundi dare not plan for.

Moreover, when he is planning, he will not care at all about what the person he is planning against thinks.

What about Daluo? What about the saint?

We are all saints, and we are all immortal. Even if we lose to you, it’s just a loss of face - but everyone knows that Zhunti never cares about so-called face.

Therefore, for the Saint Zhunti, if he plots against you, he means plotting against you, and he is too lazy to even explain it afterwards, not to mention that he will discuss the details with you before the plot, and the "compensation" issue has already been decided before the plot begins.

Although the one who appeared in front of Ao Bing now was Subhuti rather than Cundi, Subhuti was also the incarnation of Cundi Saint after his nirvana, and naturally inherited the temperament of Cundi Saint.

With such a character, it was indeed incredibly surprising that he came to discuss things in detail with Ao Bing.

But Ao Bing was also very clear that the reason why Saint Subhuti acted like this was not because he was afraid of him, the God of Chongyi Zhentian, or the Azure Dragon Heavenly Lord, nor was he afraid of West Kunlun - he simply wanted to give face to the Great Heavenly Lord Haotian who was still in seclusion.

The equality he showed in front of Ao Bing and the attitude of "everything can be discussed" he displayed were only because of the "legacy" of Great Lord Haotian.

Therefore, Ao Bing naturally would not think that he really had the ability to bargain with the saint on this matter.

In fact, Ao Bing had already made preparations for unconditional cooperation regarding that sacred matter - after all, when one looks at the fact that Shangqing's first disciple Duobao Taoist transformed into the Buddhist Sakyamuni, and then looks at what Buddhism preaches, that Sakyamuni was going to subdue the devil Poxun and ascend the lotus throne, one can know that the Buddhist matter was not just the plan of the two Buddhist saints, but that the three Taoist saints were also involved.

Therefore, in this matter, any "compensation" given by Subhuti, whether it was the consumption of Buddhist heritage, under the suppression of several saints and Daluo, to trace back the time and space of the Taoist temple in a way that would not affect the outside world, or what Subhuti said, when Ao Bing wanted to open up the outside world, the support of Buddhism for him, or at this time, what Subhuti did not say, in the affairs of the Heavenly Palace, he did not merge with the Jade Emperor, and even did not reveal the intention of "using the Jade Emperor" - for Ao Bing, these were all unexpected surprises.

Especially the third party, who rejected the Jade Emperor's invitation with an unusually firm attitude.

The Jade Emperor is a person with ulterior motives, and Saint Subhuti is aware of this - but the more this is the case, the more benefits Subhuti can gain for Buddhism when he uses the Jade Emperor.

If Subhuti made this choice, then while the Jade Emperor was being used, he could naturally also pull on the tiger skin of the Buddhist saint to help him control the heaven more smoothly and get rid of the filth of heaven and earth on his body more smoothly.

However, the saint Subhuti did not make such a choice. He did not lend out his tiger skin just for the benefits he could get from the Jade Emperor. From this respect, this saint seemed to be very "kind".

As a disciple of the Great Heavenly Venerable, Ao Bing must also accept this favor.

"I just don't know how to repay this favor." After Subhuti's figure disappeared, Ao Bing secretly smacked his lips and sighed.

He had a vague feeling that part of Saint Subhuti's plan must be related to him.

When that time comes, it will be time for him to repay the favor.

"His name should be known throughout heaven and earth. I'm really curious, in this era of great catastrophe, how the saint plans to make his disciples famous throughout heaven and earth." Ao Bing shook his head.

Fame throughout the world, these four words sound simple, but in reality, it is extremely difficult to achieve.

How vast is the universe?

Each of the five continents is almost a separate world.

Even someone like Ao Bing, who is recognized as a man of outstanding reputation, has experienced the killing calamity of the Conferred Gods and even cursed Daluo. His name is not known to everyone between heaven and earth.

And under the current situation of heaven and earth, there is more than one Creator of the World outside, eyeing Pangu's World covetously - under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for a major killing calamity to happen again.

Without the killing calamity, how could the saint's disciples make themselves famous throughout the world, and at the same time, make the name of Buddhism known to the world?

Just relying on his experience in one continent after another?

How long will that take?
"Forget it. Since the saint has this consideration, I think he also has his own ideas." Ao Bing dispelled the doubts in his mind, then lowered his eyes to the human world.

A thousand years ago, the Rongdi army destroyed Haojing, and the human king Ji Gongnie died, and the destiny of Ji Zhou was almost cut off.

Even if Nan Zhen Daoist united with the princes of the Shen Kingdom to renew Ji Zhou's Mandate of the Human King, the Mandate of the Human King today is far from what it was before.

——Before Haojing was destroyed, even though the Mandate of Man was weakened to dust, and even though King Li was expelled by the people, the princes from all over the world did not dare to delay paying tribute to the Mankind King.

Now, not to mention the intermittent tribute, even the attacks between the princes have completely bypassed the King of Man - the current Ji Zhou King of Man is almost a puppet. Especially the Sixth Division of the King of Man, after it was destroyed along with Haojing, it has been a full thousand years since then, and the Sixth Division of the King of Man has never been rebuilt.

Every time when the Human King tried hard to rebuild the Sixth Division of the Human King, once the Sixth Division of the Human King was rebuilt, a war would coincidentally break out nearby - either the Rong and Di invaded, or the armies of the princes got out of control.

Then, the Sixth Division of the Human King, which had spent a lot of time and effort, countless resources and countless background, was destroyed in the chaos of the battle.

After several consecutive incidents, the wealth that the Ji Zhou royal family brought from Haojing was exhausted.

At this point, the succeeding Human King finally and completely lost the possibility of rebuilding the Sixth Division of the Human King, and also completely lost control over the princes of the human world.

On the earth, although the Human King is still there, the situation of the human race has fallen into a strange chaos.

The princes attacked each other, using the strong to annihilate the weak - the influence of the King of Man had even fallen to a point where he could not even compare to that of ordinary princes.

Similarly, during the chaos of war among the princes, the strength of the Rongdi was also expanding rapidly. Many "foreigners" who had not yet been completely assimilated into the order of humanity of the Ji Zhou fell outside of humanity again and joined the Rongdi.

The human spirit that enveloped the earth was also "split" by this, and transformed into large and small areas with different vassal states as the core, just like flowing water divided by islands and shores, with uncertain depth and intermittent flow.

With such changes, there are more and more practitioners in the human world, and the interference of immortals and gods in the human world is becoming stronger and stronger.

When Ao Bing lowered his eyes, a meeting was taking place on earth.

He was the king of Qi, the most powerful among all the princes. He raised the banner of "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians", became the leader of the princes, and exercised the authority of the king on earth.

And at the meeting of the princes, the god who served as a witness and accepted the sacrifices and worship of the princes was none other than Ao Bing, the symbol of faith and loyalty.

Yang Jian and Nezha also served as accompanying sacrifices, standing beside the statue of Ao Bing.

The three gods in the Sanlang Temple were used to distinguish the primary and secondary gods in the alliance of the princes.

During the meeting, Ao Bing was also able to vaguely observe, through his connection with Ji Zhou's Mandate of Heaven, that as the meeting progressed, the Mandate of the Human King was gradually transferred to Qi. During this process, Ji Zhou's Mandate of the Human King, which was already declining, became even weaker.

"What a pity." After a moment, Ao Bing in the heavenly palace also sighed slightly.

There are many gods in the world, and there are also many gods who can serve as witnesses at this meeting of princes. The king of Qi deliberately chose Ao Bing as a witness. It is obvious that he was trying to deceive the King of Zhou and further suppress the prestige of the King of Man. He wanted to use this opportunity to plot against the King of Man.

However, the transfer of the destiny of the Human King is not an easy task, and not everyone who is strong can become the Human King.

That requires the Human King of the previous generation to 'lose his life', that is, the Human King has made a big mistake, causing all the mortals on earth to be disappointed in the Human King, and only then will the Human King's destiny have the possibility of being transferred.

Just like how the Ji Zhou replaced the Shang Dynasty - first Emperor Xin made a "big mistake", so the Ji Zhou replaced the Shang Dynasty.

At this time, although the Human King had lost power, precisely because he had lost power, he had no chance to make mistakes, so that the Human King's destiny became increasingly difficult to transfer.

Although the King of Qi who attended the meeting of princes obtained a little bit of the Mandate of the King of Man, he could not replace the existence of the King of Man at all, let alone inherit the true Mandate of the King of Man.

——To be honest, the time when the Mandate of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty was most likely to shift was during the reign of King Li.

However, at that time, the reaction of the Ji Zhou royal family was extremely fast. Without waiting for the dissatisfaction caused by King Li to expand, they had already used the dissatisfaction of the people to mobilize the people and expel that generation of human king.

Thus, the resentment and dissatisfaction of mortals were able to be vented, and Ji Zhou's mandate as the king of men was also consolidated.

If this King of Qi was born in the era of King Li, perhaps he would have a chance to succeed, but now...

After all, it was just a lack of luck.

On the contrary, those practitioners in the human world can witness more changes and participate in more upheavals during the rise and fall of these princes. They also have more opportunities to seek career positions and become immortals than usual.

"The world is in turmoil, the princes are rising up, and the waters, bearing the weight of all living things, are bound to be disturbed."

"Pass on my decree. From today onwards, all the people in the Four Rivers Dragon Court must not participate in disputes among humans, must not get involved in grudges among humans, and must not accept sacrifices from humans."

"All actions are in accordance with the laws of heaven and the authority and responsibility of the water god."

"Other than this, I will decide and accept everything else."

In a flash, the ear-reporting god was summoned by Ao Bing. Holding Ao Bing's order, he stepped out of the Heavenly Gate and fell into the Huai River.

At this time, many dragon gods have gathered in the Huaishui Dragon Palace.

These dragon gods all came to the Dragon Court to complain.

The five veins of the dragon clan are the four seas and the four rivers. The Four Rivers Dragon Court was established by Ao Bing with the support of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas after Ao Bing accepted the invitation of the Yellow River God.

Although the areas of the rivers and the four lakes are not as vast as the four seas and oceans, because the rivers and the four lakes are located on the shore, close to the human race, and closely related to mortals, the affairs of the rivers and the four lakes are much more complicated than the disputes in the four seas and oceans.

Therefore, when Ao Bing established the Four Rivers Dragon Court, the dragon gods who were assigned to the Four Rivers Dragon Court and followed Ao Bing into the Four Rivers were all truly "smart and capable" among the dragon clan.

They may not be strong in terms of physical strength, but they are usually shrewd, smooth and good at networking.

After coming to the four rivers, these dragon gods felt like fish in water. Although they did not touch the roots of the four rivers according to the agreement, they also managed the dragon courts of the four rivers very successfully.

But after Haojing was captured, the situation was completely different.

Without the Human King's suppression, the situation in the human world suddenly became chaotic.

These water gods who are closely related to the human world and the human race are also troubled by various troubles of the human race.
