Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 880: The Concept of Opening Up the Great Heaven
Being able to exchange some intangible resources for the favor of a great master - that is simply the most profitable business in the world.

"Great Lord, the Heavenly Court has its own rules." Taibai Jinxing's voice sounded.

"Even if the Star Lords of each family want to open caves, they all have the support of the Heavenly Court."

"The Great Lord is now going to open up the Daluo Dharma Realm, so there will be no exceptions."

"The Great Lord only needs to tell us where he has taken a fancy to, and the Heavenly Court will make all the arrangements for him."

"Even if the Great Lord of Heaven wants to open the sky, the Heavenly Court has already prepared the corresponding funds."

Daluo is the supreme being of heaven and earth.

There are two types of temples opened up by Daluo.

The former, standing between heaven and earth, is a blessed land somewhere. There, the laws of heaven and earth give way to the laws of Daluo.

——It is like a small island rising from the lake.

The latter is a vast world created in the void by the Daluo people in imitation of Pangu's creation of the world.

This kind of Taoist temple is even better than the paradise between heaven and earth.

The latter is mysterious and extremely difficult.

Although the Great Heaven cannot be compared with the vast heaven and earth, and is not even one-tenth of the heaven and earth, the existence of the Great Heaven is still higher than that of the Cave Heaven.

The cave heaven is a vassal of heaven and earth. Its origin and the laws within it all rely on heaven and earth themselves to exist and are determined by heaven and earth. When there are great changes between heaven and earth, the cave heaven will also become desolate...but it is not the case with the great heaven.

Once the Great Sky was created, it coexisted with the Heaven and Earth. Except that it could not escape from the Heaven and Earth and fall into chaos, and had to rely on the Heaven and Earth to exist, the existence of the Great Sky was no different from a completely new 'small world'.

Daluo, who created the world, is the absolute ruler of that place. All the laws of heaven and earth are controlled by Daluo. If there is a Taiyi who is favored by Daluo, he can even be chosen by Daluo and take charge of some of the fundamentals of the universe. This makes the Taiyi who holds power appear to be "similar to Daluo" in the universe.

In that vast sky, Daluo, who created the vast sky, is the absolute ruler there.

Even if other Daluo were to step into this place, those who rashly set foot here would likely be completely suppressed and then "refined" just like those Daluo in Chaoge City.

Or, if a Daluo is tired of his own Great Heaven, or if, in the process of shifting the laws of heaven and earth to explore the Great Dao, he destroys his own Great Heaven, he can directly dissolve the laws in the Great Heaven, so that the Great Heaven and Pan Tian can be combined, and in this Pan Tian, ​​it will appear in the form of some kind of sacred mountain and holy land...

For example, West Kunlun - it is said that West Kunlun was once the manifestation of a certain great sky. Even now, some secrets of the ancient sky are still hidden in West Kunlun.

That is the most ancient secret between heaven and earth, a secret that existed before Hongjun sorted out time and space.

Corresponding to the power and mystery of the Great Heaven is the difficulty of opening up the Great Heaven.

Just imagine, Pangu created the world. Even with Pangu's power, he had to use the corpses of many innate demon gods as the foundation, and then use his own flesh and blood and bones to evolve the complete heaven and earth. What's more, Daluo was like an ant in front of Pangu?

To open up the Great Heaven, in addition to the laws within the Great Heaven being self-contained, self-circulating, and flawless, an unusually large number of resources are also needed to make the Great Heaven stable. The former means that Daluo has a very complete understanding of the existence of heaven and earth, and can deduce a complete worldview and world structure with his own Tao fruit as the core.

This is already not easy.

Some Daluo who do not have enough foundation even need to join hands with others when opening up the Great Heaven, so that the laws of the Great Heaven can complete a cycle without any flaws.

As for the latter, the resources needed to evolve the resources of the mountains, rivers, and land, and the resources of living species in the vast sky are so huge that they are beyond imagination. Even Daluo needs a long period of accumulation to gather these resources.

Therefore, after the Lich, when the origin of heaven and earth gradually declined and the various resources between heaven and earth became less and less, the number of Daluo who chose to create their own world between heaven and earth became less and less.

After all, the opening up of the great sky would not be successful every time. Once it fails, even the Daluo who opened up the great sky would be heartbroken.

It is very likely that Daluo, who opened up the universe, will not be able to make up for this loss for tens or even millions of years.

Although opening up the sky is also a wonderful way to comprehend the great Dao - but the price to pay for this method is too great.

If it is just for enlightenment, the Great Luo Supremes have more economical methods, so why do they need to choose this method of opening up the universe...

Of course, opening up the Great Heaven is not exclusive to Daluo - some powerful Taiyi, when their skills have become powerful to a certain extent and they happen to seize a unique opportunity, the Great Heaven they open up happens to have something to carry it... then even Taiyi can also open up the Great Heaven.

It was just like in the other world, when Ao Bing used the thirty-six Dinghai Pearls, the Tianliang Ruler, and the Jianmu - two innate spiritual treasures, plus an innate spiritual root, as the foundation, and then opened up the Forty-Nine Heaven Palaces.

But even so, after the Forty-Nine Sky Palace was opened up, it still took countless resources to stabilize it... In the end, many powerful people set foot there, and the Forty-Nine Sky Palace was finally completely stable.

Even so, the Four-Nine Heaven Palace opened up by Ao Bing is the lowest level among the great heavens, and is extremely similar to the essence of the cave heaven - it's just that it has existed for a longer time than the cave heaven.

When it comes to matters like the creation of the great heavens, it was like this in that world, and this world is no exception.

Even in this world where the origin of heaven and earth is gradually withering, the difficulty of opening up the universe and the resources required are increasing.

But from another perspective, opening up the sky is also of great benefit to heaven and earth.

To a certain extent, Dao Fruit can be seen as the ultimate condensation of "Dao" - if Dao is compared to an extremely large and balanced huge network covering the heaven and earth, then the existence of Dao Fruit is an extremely heavy point in this network.

When the Dao Fruit falls between heaven and earth, it will always oppress the Great Dao, causing the place where it exists to sink infinitely, and causing the Great Dao of heaven and earth to deviate from it - therefore, for heaven and earth, as long as Daluo exists between heaven and earth, no matter how they restrain their power, their existence will form a certain oppression on heaven and earth.

Just like when a river is flowing, the reefs and islands in the river will definitely interfere with the direction and speed of the river, and then interfere with the two banks of the river...

The more Daluo there are between heaven and earth, the greater the pressure they bring to heaven and earth - under that pressure, the direction of heaven and earth will be torn into pieces with the existence of those Daluo as the core... just like the most ancient era.

However, after Hongjun Daozu unified time and space, the unified time and space turned into a rope tied between heaven and earth, so that the heaven and earth would not be torn apart by the existence of so many Daluo or even saints no matter what.

But no matter what, this tearing apart and un-dividing of heaven and earth will consume the essence of heaven and earth for no reason.

But if Daluo creates a new heaven between heaven and earth, then this new heaven created by Daluo will be able to carry Daluo's Dao fruit 'outside heaven and earth' - in this way, the pressure caused by Daluo's existence on heaven and earth will be greatly reduced.

In this way, this part of the origin of heaven and earth that was consumed in vain can naturally be saved...

"This is a direction." Ao Bing pondered.

He came to this world because of a covenant with Guangchengzi, and then in this world, he made a covenant with Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun to change the future of this world.

But this future is not actually the future in the true sense.

This world is different from that world.

In this world, there is no manifestation of other great heaven and earth - and the origin of heaven and earth is decreasing but not increasing. The future of heaven and earth is destined to go towards extinction. No matter what, it is irreversible. Even saints cannot save this, let alone Ao Bing?

Therefore, the "future entrusted to Ao Bing" by Yuanshi Tianzun does not refer to the future in the real sense, but the road leading to the future - the atmosphere flowing between heaven and earth.

It is the living beings between heaven and earth, at least most of them, who are willing to pay and work hard to continue the existence of heaven and earth.

When the Heavenly Rules manifested, they were so vast and powerful that they turned into a great tide between heaven and earth. This was because the manifestation of the Heavenly Rules was in accordance with the will of Yuanshi Tianzun and the "will of heaven" in this world.

But the existence of heavenly rules also has limitations.

According to the Heavenly Rules of Lingxiao Palace, the Heavenly Rules only restrict the Qigong practitioners below the Daluo level - they allow these Qigong practitioners to behave in moderation, but they cannot stop those Daluo practitioners from seizing the origin of heaven and earth.

And Daluo's existence cannot be bound by any rules - the only thing that can bind Daluo is their own hearts.

Therefore, if you want to stop the Daluo from seizing the origin of heaven and earth, and make them willing to act to continue the future of heaven and earth, you must make these Daluo realize that the survival of heaven and earth is closely related to themselves.

But in fact, the vast majority of Daluo between heaven and earth are unaware of this - or in other words, the existence of heaven and earth has no close connection with the Daluo between heaven and earth.

——The heaven and the earth exist in chaos, and the existence of Daluo is enough to separate from the heaven and the earth and live in chaos.

For the Daluo, even if the heaven and earth were destroyed, they could still calmly leave the heaven and earth and wander in the chaos...

Their existence has long transcended heaven and earth.

Therefore, under the current trend, few Daluo between heaven and earth actually care whether the heaven and earth can continue to exist - even some Daluo who hope that the heaven and earth will last forever are quite open-minded in this regard, and will not spend a lot of effort to stop this when the heaven and earth collapse.

Therefore, more Daluo only want to seize more of the origin of heaven and earth, so that they can escape when heaven and earth collapse. At most, only some kind-hearted Daluo have the idea of ​​taking some creatures of heaven and earth with them to "cross" the chaos and search for other heavens and earth when they leave heaven and earth.

Because of the existence of the Heavenly Rules, the atmosphere under the Daluo has been changing in the direction that Ao Bing hopes for. What Ao Bing needs to consider now is how to change this atmosphere among the Daluo.

Originally, Ao Bing had no idea about how to change the trend at the Daluo level. But at this moment, when Taibai mentioned the opening of the great sky, Ao Bing suddenly had an idea.

No matter in which era, there is always one situation - that is, the vast majority of normal-minded creatures will always cherish more the things they have put more effort into.

The Daluo between heaven and earth do not cherish the world before them very much, because they have not made any contribution to this world - even if there are some who take the initiative to reconcile heaven and earth, the place they reconcile is only around their own dojo.

Therefore, these Daluo people value their own Taoist temples even more than the heaven and earth - especially those ancient gods.

Therefore, from this perspective, as long as these Daluo have a sense of contribution to the world, and feel that this world reflects their efforts and energy, they will naturally think about how to make this world last longer.

But how can we make these Daluo feel that they have made contributions to the world?
How can we make the contributions of the Daluo people to the world have weight in their hearts?
Open up the sky!
Opening up the Great Heaven requires an enormous amount of resources, and maintaining the Great Heaven also requires a tremendous amount of energy - for the Daluo, whether it is opening up the Great Heaven or maintaining the Great Heaven, the resources and energy consumed all belong to them!

This is the "contribution" that those Daluo people give to the world!
Ao Bing began to recall the attitudes of the Daluo in various places towards the world.

Ao Bing calmed down and felt the flow of the origin of heaven and earth between heaven and earth.

There are some familiar traces in the flowing origin of heaven and earth.

After a moment, Ao Bing opened his eyes.

Just as he guessed.

Although generally speaking, the attitude of the Daluo of this generation towards the heaven and earth is rather indifferent, and all the Daluo are the same, using different means to seize the origin of the heaven and earth - but...

Those Daluo who did not open up a Taoist temple randomly, but opened up the Great Heaven as their Taoist temple, or used the immortal mountains and sacred lands after the collapse of the Great Heaven as their Taoist temple, such as several people in West Kunlun, Zhen Yuanzi and so on.

Or maybe they are the Daluo who are more closely connected to the existence of heaven and earth, like the Taoist of the Styx, who is famous for his cruelty...

Although they were also absorbing the origin of heaven and earth, their actions were relatively small compared to those of other Daluo.

Especially the Jade Emperor, the Emperor of Heaven.

This Heavenly Emperor, whom Ao Bing actually "doesn't think much of", actually has the best "eating manners" among all the Daluo!

"It seems that we really need to let those Daluo take the initiative to open up this great sky."

"In this case, we must do our best to let those Daluo see the benefits of opening up the great sky."

"It's just like when a Taoist spreads his own Taoist tradition among the people, he wants more mortals to see the benefits of his own Taoist tradition, so that they can become a member of his own Taoist tradition."

"Only by letting those Daluo see the benefits of opening up the Great Heaven, and making them believe that the benefits of opening up the Great Heaven exceed the resources they have accumulated, and exceed the origin of heaven and earth they have accumulated, can we make them use their resources to open up the Great Heaven."

"Only then can they 'engage' in this world."

“When a considerable number of Daluo have opened up the Great Heaven, their respective Dao Fruits will fall into the Great Heaven, and the pressure on the Heaven and Earth will be greatly reduced. Naturally, their attention will fall on those Daluo who have not opened up the Great Heaven.”

"At this point, the matter of opening up the Great Heaven will become a trend among Daluo."

“And the origin of heaven and earth that the Daluo have seized will flow back to heaven and earth because of the existence of the Great Heaven. The more benefits the Great Heaven brings to them, the harder it will be for the Daluo to give up the existence of the Great Heaven. The more willing the Daluo will be to actively continue the existence of heaven and earth in order to maintain the existence of the Great Heaven.”

"Datian is the first mountain that can change the atmosphere among Daluo!"

"But how can we let those Daluo see the benefits of opening up the great heaven and let them know how great the benefits of opening up the great heaven are?" Ao Bing pondered...

Before getting the answer, Ao Bing's gaze fell on Taibai Jinxing.

"Old Taibai, you should know that I have had nothing since I was born."

"In terms of resources, it would be a good idea to build a temple in one place between heaven and earth - but now, looking across heaven and earth, it is hard to find a place without an owner."

"If I force it, the human entanglement involved is not what I want."

"Therefore, I intend to open up a large sky between heaven and earth as the Daluo Dharma Realm."

"Great Lord, please rest assured." Hearing this, Taibai Jinxing felt even more surprised.

The Heavenly Court has existed for countless tens of thousands of years, and is more active in the movements between heaven and earth than any other Daluo.

When it comes to the speed of accumulating resources, even among the several saintly sects in this world, none is as convenient and fast as the Heavenly Court.

Compared to Ao Bing's setting up of a temple between heaven and earth, his action of opening up the great sky, although consuming more resources, is actually more beneficial to the Heavenly Court.

First of all, Ao Bing took advantage of the Great Heaven opened up by Heaven. The "standpoint" of that Great Heaven was naturally closer to Heaven. The immortals and gods in Heaven also had more opportunities to go to that Great Heaven for training and to seek some opportunities through this closeness, and it could even form a routine to further expand the influence of Heaven.

In addition, as Ao Bing said, the unowned land between heaven and earth is hard to find - if Ao Bing wants to set up a Taoist temple within heaven and earth, he must find a place that is large enough with abundant vitality and spiritual inspiration.

As the Heavenly Court upholds the righteousness of heaven and earth, it naturally cannot act by relying on its strength to seize these precious lands - but if it wants to exchange them, the resources are fine, but the human relationships involved are the real trouble.

Even more so, if someone got a hint from a certain Daluo and refused to do the favor or give face to Heaven, Heaven would be put in a difficult position.

Compared to this, opening up the sky is much easier.

All we need to do is provide enough resources from the warehouse in Heaven!
Although the Emperor of Heaven is the master of Heaven, the resources accumulated by Heaven over countless thousands of years are not the Emperor's private collection - so for the Jade Emperor, there is no pressure at all to take out such a huge amount of resources.

However, for Ao Bing, this is not pressure, but a kind of pressure - if other Daluo can also obtain materials from the Heavenly Court to open up the Great Heaven without pressure, then those Daluo, even if they open up the Great Heaven, it is not considered as "investment" and "contribution" to the heaven and earth.

"If other seniors want to open up the universe, can they also get the materials for doing so directly from Heaven?" Ao Bing asked.

"Yes and no." Taibai Jinxing said - the Jade Emperor naturally had his own considerations on this.

Although Heaven had stored a lot of materials, they could not withstand this kind of burning.

"The materials needed to open up the Great Heaven are not small. Even if one is a Daluo, it is hard to accept the idea of ​​wasting such materials so easily."

"Only someone like the Great Heavenly Sovereign, who has obtained the Dao Fruit in the Heavenly Palace and has made great achievements in reopening the path to Daluo for the Heaven and Earth, can have such an opportunity." Taibai Jinxing said, repeating the words of the Jade Emperor. "If anyone other than the Great Heavenly Sovereign wants to have this opportunity, they will have to take one step at a time and accumulate merits."

"I see." Ao Bing nodded. It was good that it was not easily obtained. "In that case, please ask Taibai to report to the Emperor of Heaven. I want to open a big world, and I also ask the Emperor of Heaven to allocate the materials."

"I will now report this to the Emperor of Heaven." Taibai Jinxing bowed and left.

Ao Bing also calmed down and looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about how to open up the sky.

But his mind had already sunk into the origin of heaven and earth.

Previously, when he observed the direction of the origin of heaven and earth, he noticed that there were familiar traces in the origin of heaven and earth - this was a situation that should not happen.

Since the Lich, the origin of heaven and earth has been decreasing rather than increasing. The origin between heaven and earth will only decrease with the intake and exhalation of Qigong practitioners, and will not increase for any reason... No, under one situation, the origin of heaven and earth will increase.

That is, when a living being dies, its own origin of heaven and earth returns to heaven and earth, so the origin of heaven and earth will increase.

But for any "living being", the origin within the heaven and earth has nothing to do with him - any living being that is still alive is "asking" for the origin of the heaven and earth from the heaven and earth, rather than integrating his own origin into the heaven and earth to enhance the origin of the heaven and earth.

In such a situation, for any living being, there should be no familiar traces in the vast origin of heaven and earth.

This is because, in the vast origin of heaven and earth, no part of it comes from these living creatures.

But rather...

"I want to see where this familiar feeling comes from."

"It can't be true, as some Daluo said, that my existence is the reincarnation of a Daluo from ancient times - that Daluo died, his origin returned to the heaven and earth, and then he reincarnated into me. That's why I have a certain familiarity with the origin flowing in this heaven and earth." Ao Bing's eyes twitched slightly, rejecting this statement.

——Others may not know how he came to this world, but how could he not know it himself?

He has already achieved Daluo, how could he not know what his past was...

"Let me see what is going on!" Ao Bing's perception slowly sank into the vast ocean of the origin of heaven and earth.
