Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 669: Changes in the Water God, Incense of Humanity

The influence of water gods on the human world is unique between heaven and earth - but in fact, each water system can be regarded as an independent pantheon, and it is extremely easy for water gods to fight and devour each other's power. Therefore, it is difficult for water gods to trust each other, let alone cooperate with each other.

Therefore, the water gods who enjoy unique influence are more often dragged down by this unique influence. Whenever any great god or a great immortal sect wants to make a move in the human world, they will first consider starting with the water gods.

When the gods in heaven want to come to the human world to investigate something, they will also ask the water god to cooperate.

There are also princes who are determined to subdue the many water gods.

One can imagine what kind of life these water gods lived before the Four Rivers Dragon Court.

After the Four Rivers Dragon Court, with the Four Rivers Dragon Court as a bond, the water gods from all over the place have barely established a basis for mutual trust, and can cooperate with each other and respond to each other - those really troublesome enemies, or risky things, the Four Rivers Dragon Court will protect them.

After the Four Rivers Dragon Court was established, the water gods from all over the world really lived a peaceful life for a period of time.

But now, the Four Rivers Dragon Court suddenly cut ties with the water gods.

Of course, this kind of cutting is also seen as an ultimatum by some water gods.

——Or, entrust the power to the Dragon Court and obey the orders of the Dragon Court from now on.

Or, they could leave the protection of Sidu Dragon Court, and from then on face the storms between heaven and earth on their own; life or death, and any kind of storm they were involved in, would have nothing to do with Sidu Dragon Court.

How to choose?
Between heaven and earth, most of the water gods are almost caught in this difficult choice.

When the water gods were struggling and hesitant about this, the water systems under their jurisdiction were naturally affected.

Then, the chaos in the water system spread to the human world.

As a result, the whole world seemed to be caught in a wonderful and indescribable rhythm.

Meanwhile, within the State of Chu, the test against Yun Zhongjun also dissipated along with the wind and rain before it even began due to this sudden change.

The Four Rivers Dragon Court relaxed its control over the water gods and gave up its 'claim' to the water gods, so of course they would not miss such an opportunity.

Especially for those Guixu Daluo, spreading their influence to the water system has another benefit.

The position of the Water God Emperor!
This is still ownerless, and it is a clear career path that leads directly to the realm of saints.

If they can also become one of the water gods, can they also participate in the competition for the holy throne?

Even though the position of the Water Official Emperor was rejected by the powerful people of the time, the more so, the more beneficial it was to them, wasn't it?
Moreover, even if they fail to fight for the Water Emperor, they can turn around and target other things in the world.

For example, Liu Yu.

Among the Six Emperors, there are heaven, earth and the four directions - but if there is an opportunity, if it is planned properly, heaven, earth and the four directions may also become heaven and earth plus earth, wind, water and fire.

Especially the Jade Emperor.

He was not willing to show his urgency for power in the Heavenly Court; therefore, he never openly crossed the Four Rivers Dragon Court to give orders to the water gods.

But now, since the Four Rivers Dragon Court have already issued a declaration, then as the rotating Heavenly Emperor, isn't it only natural for him to gather those water gods in order to stabilize the waters everywhere and appease all living beings in heaven and earth?

Therefore, as soon as the news of the Four Dragon Courts spread, the Jade Emperor's messengers had already descended from the Heavenly Court, carrying the Jade Emperor's edict, like countless streams of light.

It was also because of the change in the water god's life that the immortal gods between heaven and earth suddenly realized that although Ao Bing, the Great Dragon God of the Four Rivers, had not yet achieved Daluo, in fact, the Great Dragon God of the Four Rivers was now a real big man between heaven and earth!
His existence is real and can affect the direction of the entire situation in the world.

Just like at this moment, those Guixu Daluo who fell into the State of Chu, and even the Jade Emperor, the rotating emperor of heaven, had to respond personally because of the actions of the Four Rivers Dragon God.

……

"How could things turn out this way?" In the State of Chu, Yun Zhongjun had already returned to his high temple.

All living beings in the world have selfish desires, and Yun Zhongjun is no exception. Naturally, the priests under the Taiyi pantheon are no exception. When the gods did not appear, the priests everywhere used the power of the pantheon to gain countless benefits for themselves.

Even those who did not seek benefits privately, also inadvertently regarded the savings of the gods as their own savings.

Therefore, after Yun Zhongjun returned to the State of Chu, he was bound to encounter a lot of trouble if he wanted to gather the power of the gods. He was also prepared to face the immortals and gods invited back by the priests.

But who would have thought that the situation would develop like this?
The announcement of the Four Rivers Dragon Court directly drew the attention of all immortals and gods in the territory of Chu to the various water systems and the water gods.

Those priests who were still connecting with each other within the territory of Chu were suddenly found in a state of isolation and helplessness.

Having lost the support of the major immortal sects and the support of the Guixu Daluo who had ulterior motives, the priests in the Chu State, even if there were still practitioners in their families, would soon disappear under the attack of the entire Chu State.

With almost no effort, Yun Zhongjun had taken over the Taiyi mythology system of the Chu State, and with the help of the Qu family, he had straightened out the power under the entire system.

At this time, in the entire Chu State, all the incense under the Taiyi mythology system was completely under the control of Yun Zhongjun.

From the perspective of the God of Humanity, the world is a deep dark night.

Human civilization is the huge flame burning in this darkness.

In addition to the flames, the immortals and gods who came and went also had flames of various colors on their bodies.

The flame of incense is completely different from any other kind of fire.

That is a flame that can be transformed into real power.

Starting from the great temple in Jingdu as the source, with the temples in every city as nodes, and the shrines in the rural villages as wings, the power of incense followed the induction of Yun Zhongjun, dragging Yun Zhongjun to another level of heaven and earth, flying above the sky, as if another cave was opened up in the heaven and earth.

In the cave, an extremely luxurious group of temples, somewhat similar to the Heavenly Palace, slowly formed under the burning of incense.

Lord Yunzhong was sitting on top.

When his perception fell on the incense, the entire Chu State became like his body, and all the believers in Chu State also became his eyes and ears. Under the gaze of the God of Humanity, even the existence of the netherworld was clearly visible.

In the underworld, as if it had sensed something, a passage leading directly to the divine cave was extended - at this point, Yun Zhongjun, the god of humanity, also had the power to communicate with the underworld and could send the souls of the human world to the underworld.

As for those believers of Yun Zhongjun, if they die before their life span comes to an end, their souls that cannot return to the underworld or be sent to the City of the Dead will also be led to this Shinto cave to temporarily reside, or they can practice the art of ghost immortals in this cave and transform into ghosts and gods under Yun Zhongjun, or they can fall into reincarnation after their life span is fulfilled.

"Is this the God of Humanity?" Yun Zhongjun calmed his mind and felt the difference between the God of Humanity and the God of Immortality.

Although the God of Immortality is also a god, his foundation is still based on the vitality of heaven and earth and his own magic power.

However, the God of Humanity relies on humanity to manifest. The power of humanity is contrary to the way of immortals. Therefore, although the God of Humanity can feel the vitality of heaven and earth, the efficiency of absorbing and exhaling the vitality of heaven and earth to refine magic power is extremely low!

For the God of Humanity, the "incense" from the human race is the true vitality of heaven and earth that is suitable for them.

Inhaling and exhaling incense is equivalent to inhaling and exhaling the vital energy of heaven and earth - and the most refined incense is as helpful to the God of Humanity as the vital energy of heaven and earth in the Yaochi Lake is to the immortal gods.

Moreover, compared to the vital energy of heaven and earth, incense has another wonderful use.

Yun Zhongjun separated from the statue and manifested himself in the cave. It was a pure body, manifested by primordial spirit and primordial energy after abandoning the physical body. He wore the crown of the sky on his head and was covered in cloud light.

As soon as he thought about it, the incense sticks gathered around Yun Zhongjun like countless fireflies, and then, within Yun Zhongjun's thoughts, they transformed into all kinds of mysterious Yuan Qi of heaven and earth.

It’s not Yuan Qi, but Yuan Qi!

It is something that a practitioner needs to spend a lot of energy over the years, witness the changes of heaven and earth, and then absorb those changes into his mind before it can be evolved. It must be done under a unique environment and when the practitioner's spirit, energy and soul are in harmony. It can be evolved so simply in the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye, in Ao Bing's mind.

The Qi of the Azure Dragon, the Qi of the blue sky, the Qi of all things, the Qi of the Azure Dragon, the Qi of war and fire, the Qi of evil and disaster... All the Qi of heaven and earth that Ao Bing knew was transformed freely between the incense and fire.

Especially when he used incense to manifest the Qi of the Azure Dragon and the Qi of all things, he could even use the Yuan Qi derived from the incense to clearly sense the location of the 'original body' in the Heavenly Palace.

——For practitioners who have not yet perfected their immortal body, this incense can evolve Yuan Qi and allow their immortal body to be perfected.

As for the immortals and gods who have already condensed their Yuan Qi and perfected their immortal body, the Yuan Qi derived from the incense can also directly strengthen their foundation.

Based on this point alone, Yun Zhongjun has concluded that after the system of the God of Humanity is completely evolved, countless immortals and gods between heaven and earth will take the risk of being attached to humanity to take over the authority of the God of Humanity - the reason is very simple.

Just like at this moment, his original body is practicing, and his clone can also use the incense of humanity to transform into Yuan Qi to enhance the original body's practice.

This means that, as an immortal god, an immortal god who controls the incense of humanity not only has double the speed of cultivation, but can also use the incense to transform into Yuan Qi to replenish his own foundation.

For immortals and gods, almost no one can refuse such a benefit.

"In addition to the opportunity to create a legend, the power of this incense is also revealed."

"Between the heavens and the humans, the proportion of the human race has become increasingly important."

Yun Zhongjun couldn't help but sigh, as if he saw the scene in the future where countless immortals and gods were making their moves among the human race, using the human race as a chessboard, collecting offerings from the human race, seeking their own interests, and then being assimilated by the human race.

However, incense, like the vital energy of heaven and earth, has high and low qualities.

Pure incense can not only directly transform into the power of the God of Humanity, but can also derive all the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth that Yun Zhongjun knows - but those impure incense contain huge distractions. If such incense is swallowed and smelted into power, it will cause the foundation of the God of Humanity to be eroded, and will accelerate the speed at which the God of Humanity is eroded by humanity.

In the territory of Chu, among the incense offerings dedicated to Yun Zhongjun, the incense with impurities clearly accounted for the majority.

"The incense of the God of Humanity comes from believers."

"And the more 'desireless' the believers are in their worship of the gods on a personal level, the purer the worship will be."

"It seems that the requirements of the God of Humanity from the Heaven and Earth and the Humanity are not to make the human race obsessed with faith like the gods from outside the domain, but to let the God of Humanity 'educate' the human race."

“But how can someone who has no desires or requests on a personal level come to worship God?”

"interesting."

"It is necessary to attract immortals and gods to join the game, but at the same time, it has some restrictions on them and some protection for the human race. The manifestation of the God of Humanity is too biased towards the human race, which is unlike the layout of those great masters."

"But it is difficult for humans to live forever. As for the wise men of the human race who are walking between heaven and earth, and the princes of the human race who are currently divided into pieces, can they work together to compete with the saints and promote the manifestation of the God of Humanity?"

"Or maybe, there are saints who truly stand on the side of the human race in order to maintain the balance of heaven and earth?"

"Or are some of the ancient saints of the human race still alive?"

Thinking of the last possibility, Ao Bing couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.

The ancient sages of the human race are truly terrifying existences between heaven and earth. Despite their short lifespans, the impact they have caused on heaven and earth is no less than that of those eternal saints!

For example, Shennong, whom Ao Bing had once met.

He held on in the lawless place, relying purely on his own will, and even the Book of Life and Death could not pull his soul at all, until he cultivated a magical object like the Nine-Suihe and entrusted it to the 'Qinglong', and then he was annihilated.

"There are definitely still surviving human saints in the world!" After a moment, Ao Bing confirmed his final guess.

Because he remembered another thing - during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Emperor Xin died, but his soul was never included in the List of Gods.

According to Bai Jian, it was Li Mu who came on orders to take away Emperor Xin's soul.

Li Mu was a general under Emperor Huangdi - it was easy to imagine whose orders he came here on.

"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much. Let's just take care of the current matters first." Yun Zhongjun dispelled the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and then cast his gaze onto the Xiang River.
