I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 466: Transformation of Dependents
Although the power of the Emperor of Life and Death was retracted into Zhou Tiege's body, the Yellow Spring water that was transferred from it formed a tributary, and outside the red military soil, it formed a Netherworld passage downwards. After that, all souls that were received by the Yin Court of Taihang Mountain could be transferred to reincarnation through this Yellow Spring tributary.

"Emperor of Life and Death?"

When the figure of the Hades Snake completely disappeared, the gods such as the Xiaguang Kiln Master regained control of themselves. Then they looked at Zhou Tieyi with utmost admiration, with the light of the sun hanging behind his head.

From then on, they no longer doubted the strength and identity of the Lord of Yanhuang. Even if he had not fully recovered, he was still able to repel the will of the Emperor of Life and Death to come. This meant that the rumors that the person before them was the legendary ninth ancient god were largely true.

Zhou Tieyi turned to look at the kiln owners and ordered, "I need you to find the original Yinting battlefield and collect as many Yinting fragments as possible. Cao Shan is still in charge of this."

According to the "Tonggu Jilue", the Emperor of Life and Death among the Nine Ancient Gods fought a great battle with the Black Emperor. After both sides were injured, he was killed by the Dao Master and fell into the underworld.

According to Zhou Tieyi's understanding of ancient history, the Black Emperor was probably the divine fetus of the Emperor of Life and Death. Like the other four emperors, he found a way to break free from the shackles of the divine fetus. This was how he was able to restrain the Emperor of Life and Death and create conditions for the Taoist Master to kill him.

The Yellow Spring flows endlessly, and the place where the Emperor of Life and Death fell must be a certain section of the Yellow Spring, and there is a high probability that the method to enter this section is in the hands of Buddhists. That’s why the Lord of Daming Palace said that Buddhists opened the Yellow Spring Road and led his parents to the Three Lives Stone.

However, in addition to the place where the Emperor of Life and Death fell, there is another important place in the Netherworld, that is the divine court "Yin Court" established by the Emperor of Life and Death. The Yin Court was shattered into pieces in the original war between saints and scattered throughout the Netherworld. Many of the fragments of the Yin Court gathered the gods left behind by the Yin gods at that time, and even the most important halls still contain the core rules of the Netherworld.

Because of the great war between saints, these fragments were contaminated by various forces and were difficult to use. Zhou Tieyi suspected that the Yueqin family, who had successively produced contaminated artifacts of the Netherworld, had clues to a major fragment.

Just after the things at hand are going smoothly, I can pay the price and ask for clues.

In addition to the clues on his side, these kiln owners are all third-rank gods who have been in the divine way for many years, so they must have corresponding clues. As long as they can find a few complete fragments, they will be able to supplement the current Taihang Mountain Divine Court. After all, when he held this Divine Court in his hands, although the core was not missing, many of the external functions were incomplete, and it was far from the true power of the Divine Court.

According to records, a complete Divine Court can completely change the rules of an area, and Zhou Tieyi's decision to let the Taihang Mountain Divine Court rule the underworld with the mountain range is a transition towards a complete Divine Court.

If the Taihang Mountain Divine Temple is fully established and the Emperor of Life and Death is not resurrected, then this Divine Temple can achieve the goal of 'returning souls to Taihang' and completely change the ownership of souls in the world.

"As ordered."

After witnessing Zhou Tieyi's divine power, several kiln owners bowed down to him with sincere conviction.

After giving the instructions, Zhou Tieyi summoned Cao Shan alone in the core chaotic space of Taihang Divine Court.

"Has Hong Yang changed recently?"

Hong Yang was the Prison-Suppressing God General of the Tianyi Taoist lineage who was raised up by Zhou Tieyi at the beginning. However, unlike Cao Shan, when Zhou Tieyi raised Hong Yang up, he noticed that Hong Yang had the look of an eagle looking at a wolf.

In a sense, Hong Yang is even more difficult to tame than the third-grade gods such as the Xiaguang Kiln Master, because Hong Yang belongs to the Tianyi Taoist lineage, and according to his own understanding, the original Tianyi Taoist master was extremely talented, and in a sense, was no less talented than himself now, or even better.

Because the Taoist Master Tianyi not only opened the secret heavenly palace, but also split the heavenly palace to form the "small heavenly palace". Although Hong Yang was a fourth-grade cannon fodder, he participated in the last battle, that is, he was a core member of the Tianyi Taoist lineage. He must have the idea of ​​restoring the Taoist lineage, even if he cannot do it alone. However, gods can be resurrected, and the Tianyi Taoist lineage, including the Taoist Master Tianyi, has the possibility of returning, so Hong Yang must have his own little thoughts.

Regarding this, Zhou Tieyi adopted the strategy of playing the long game and catching the big fish. He wanted to see how many secrets the Tianyi Dao line, which was able to thwart the conspiracy of the nine ancient gods and split the Heavenly Palace, was still hiding.

Cao Shan replied, "He didn't do anything out of line. Because of Your Majesty's orders, I didn't discipline him much. Since the gods were recorded on the Taiyi Jade Disc, he seemed to be idle because he had no duties. These days, he often makes friends with the gods in the Divine Court. I don't criticize him for this."

Zhou Tieyi nodded slightly. Among the many gods he resurrected, Hong Yang had the weakest foundation. Even though kiln owners like Xia Guang joined later, they also had their own subordinates. The gods cultivated by Cao Shan himself had his own resources. On the contrary, although he saved Hong Yang's life, he only pulled him up from death and did nothing to help him recover his strength.

This is also forcing Hong Yang to find a way to restore his strength, so now Hong Yang is making friends with these gods, he must want to get closer to them, and then use the secrets he knows as a condition to find the secret treasures of the Tianyi Dao vein and so on.

Zhou Tieyi was very confident about this. Although he had "read" Hong Yang's divine life, the power of the Five Emperors could interfere with his talent of [usurping gods]. The Tianyi Taoist meridian must have corresponding secret methods. It was normal that he did not know the secret information of the Tianyi Taoist meridian.

Zhou Tieyi thought for a moment and said, "He is originally the Prison God General. After the Netherworld of the Divine Court is completely solidified, you can order him to start building the Netherworld Prison. You have to find something for him to do so that he can feel at ease."

Building the Netherworld Cage is definitely hard work, but it also fits Zhou Tieyi's positioning of Hong Yang. Hong Yang doesn't dare to ask for more, but he will definitely think of ways to increase his own strength.

"Yes."

Zhou Tieyi asked Cao Shan about some other situations in the Divine Court. Now as the Minister of Literature of the Divine Court, Cao Shan managed everything in an orderly manner.

"As expected, governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. You are really back to your old ways."

"I don't deserve your praise, Master. It's because you took care of the ingredients and recipes. Otherwise, I, a chef, would be helpless without the right ingredients."

Cao Shan was joking with Zhou Tieyi. As a chef, he knew his strengths and weaknesses. He didn't have such a high vision if he really controlled the overall situation. However, Zhou Tieyi gave him orders and provided him with sufficient resources. He could handle things one by one in an orderly manner. This was indeed the principle of governing a country like cooking. Waving his hand and asking Cao Shan to tell the tribesmen to prepare the altar bonfire, Zhou Tieyi began to think about the matter of the Emperor of Life and Death.

According to his previous verification, saints are similar to semi-high-dimensional lives. When they fall from the sainthood, it is not only the time when their strength is damaged, but also the moment when they are the most powerful. They can even use this moment to anchor the chaotic and unknowable future.

Zhou Tieyi didn’t know what kind of future the other nine ancient gods had anchored, but he was sure that the future anchored by the Emperor of Life and Death must be related to his brother Zhou Tiege.

That's why my brother's practice of the way of life and death was so smooth, as if with divine help, because this is indeed what will happen in the future. Even including my transformation of Taihang Mountain into Yinting today and helping my brother complete the fifth-level practice, are constantly pushing this result to occur.

“I finally understand how they felt when they were not yet sanctified and faced me anchoring the future.”

Zhou Tieyi smiled silently. Unless the saint was stopped at the moment he fell from the throne, once the anchoring became a reality, the result could not be changed.

"If I were the Emperor of Life and Death, then the best way now would be to completely bind myself to Zhou Tiege, so that I would be able to avoid making any mistakes."

Zhou Tieyi thought of the two heads of the Hades Snake of the Emperor of Life and Death, and this should be a way of binding.

"But what we need to consider first now is not the Emperor of Life and Death's resurrection with the help of my eldest brother."

Zhou Tieyi sorted out that the plans of the saints are like fixed chess pieces in the long river of time, but the long river of time itself is a flowing process, and these chess pieces will fall at different times. Just like he taught Deng Xuehu, there is no need to try to change the chess pieces that have already fallen. The most important thing is to seek the greatest benefit for yourself on the premise of knowing the fixed points one by one, and to make a comeback after these points.

The plan of the Emperor of Life and Death at this time just confirmed this matter.

"The Emperor of Life and Death wants to use my elder brother to revive, so he will definitely enhance my elder brother's strength, which coincides with my own situation. Therefore, I don't need to go against the trend in this process, but take advantage of it. This is also the reason why the Emperor of Life and Death did not continue to entangle after activating the 'Power of Life', but instead left the Yellow Spring Branch in the Taihang Divine Court, because he felt that he had the ability to control the Taihang Yin Court with the help of the Yellow Spring Branch after revival. So this is a foreshadowing and a necessary price to pay. Before the Emperor of Life and Death was resurrected, our interests were the same in the matter of Zhou Tiege."

"As for the time when the Emperor of Life and Death is resurrected, it is likely that after the Great Xia Saint attains the Sainthood, the first thing I have to solve is the Great Xia Saint's attainment of the Sainthood. On this issue, my interests and His are still the same, so He will sit back and watch my plan of exchanging the chariots, and even provide corresponding help. Because of the exchange of the chariots, I have to send part of my power to Zhou Tiege to help me escape."

So this is the logic. No wonder after luring Him out, even though He knew that the Taihang Divine Court was seizing the authority of the Netherworld, He still did not mobilize the Bone Priests and the like to create any substantial obstacles.

"Besides that, we both have another thing in common, Buddhism!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Tieyi couldn't help but smile. Suppressing Buddhism seemed to be a natural thing.

"The Buddhists control the Yellow Spring Road, which is related to the fallen corpse of the Emperor of Life and Death. If He wants to regain as much of His power as possible after His resurrection, He must take back the Yellow Spring Road from the Buddhists. So I had planned to let my eldest brother participate in suppressing the Buddhist rebellion in the West. Now it seems more like God's will."

If you can only see God's will clearly, you will be able to control God's will.

Zhou Tieyi gathered his spiritual thoughts, and the Taiyi Jade Disc behind his head, like a huge sun, burned brightly, emitting tremendous light.

Now that the Divine Court has been integrated, its efficiency has been significantly improved. After Zhou Tieyi ordered the preparation of a bonfire, the bonfire pits that had been built in the temples of the gods of the ancient tribes began to burn with flames. One by one, the ancient people gathered around the bonfire pits and began to pray to Zhou Tieyi quietly.

The power of faith surged towards Zhou Tieyi like a tide. Although these ancient humans prayed to Zhou Tieyi sincerely and thanked him for his protection, people's hearts were confused and naturally they would have different "wishes".

Even though they were all expressing their gratitude for the shelter, some people wanted to have a good meal tonight, some wanted a more spacious house, and these wishes were all fulfilled by Zhou Tieyi, but there were other wishes, such as wanting to bring his wife and children from the barbaric era to the kingdom of God today.

This is a 'wish' that even Zhou Tieyi cannot fulfill. If these wishes cannot be fulfilled, they will pile up into blocks and weigh on the gods. As these wishes accumulate, the gods will be changed little by little, and their image and even their state of mind will transform according to the trend of the wishes.

On the contrary, if the gods can realize this "wish", then they can successfully cleanse people's hearts and completely master the power of gathering people.

Taking Cao Shan’s practice as an example, the fifth level of ‘gathering people’s hearts’ is to collect faith and cultivate followers, while the fourth level of ‘refining the world’ is achieved by Cao Shan making a great wish to rescue 100,000 starving people.

This is his own wish, as well as the wish of 100,000 hungry people. At the same time, it is closely related to him, the God of Food. So once it is realized, his own divine power will be transformed under the joint action of the three.

In the same way, if gods can tolerate and absorb the beliefs of ordinary people, they can naturally tolerate and absorb the beliefs of gods as well. Therefore, the fourth-grade "Refining the Red Dust" can recruit like-minded gods and lay the foundation for the establishment of the kingdom of God in the future.

In addition to this conventional method, there are also unconventional methods such as the fire of the sun and the fire of humanity. The core of human wishes still depends on the human soul, which is a kind of spiritual energy and the embodiment of the yin quality of the world. Although Zhou Tieyi cannot accurately understand why the soul is yin, it does not prevent him from using the verified laws, that is, the fire of the sun can directly burn the yin quality and burn the "toxic" and unfulfilled wishes one by one, returning them to nothingness.

Other gods naturally have corresponding methods, but none of them are as effective as the most yang and powerful forces such as the sun's fire and thunder.
