I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 605 Influence
Zhou Tieyi's method is very simple. There were gods in the beginning. Gods were the same as Tao. The original innate gods were all personified manifestations of the rules of heaven and earth, so they were so powerful.

Zhou Tieyi's innate magical power [Usurpation of God] is exactly a kind of rule to steal rules. In the past, he could only steal those rules that were temporarily ownerless, because either the owner had died or the owner was being suppressed.

And now, as Zhou Tieyi's comprehension of Taoism increases, he is getting closer and closer to the realm of a saint. His magical power of [Usurping God] is no longer the same as before. Even if its master is awake, Zhou Tieyi has a certain probability of stealing it.

Since gods are the personification of rules, instead of letting the Blood Sea Lord hide in everyone's blood, it is better to directly "steal" it out and express it in the form of a blood beast.

In this way, as long as the blood beast is killed again, the will of the gathered Blood Sea Lords will be further weakened. When a large number of Blood Sea Lords' wills are manifested and killed and observed by everyone, it will naturally weaken the Blood Sea Lord's characteristic of overlapping life and death, making Him lean towards the side of death and unable to be easily resurrected. This is Zhou Tieyi's strategy, and it is also what he learned from Jiang Taiyi's resurrection.

After grabbing a blood-red bat from Guan Guan, Zhou Tieyi stretched out his palm. Without his restraint, the blood-red bat flew out of the Zen temple with a bloody shadow, circled in the sky, and then scanned the people who were practicing below.

For these blood beasts whose wills are extremely confused, they have no idea of ​​making plans before taking action. In their eyes, people who practice Zhou Tieyi's dream martial arts are the greatest "tonic". When enough tonics gather on a blood beast, the will of the Blood Sea Lord can be revived.

So the bat suddenly fell from the sky and pounced on the group of people who were practicing martial arts. When its sharp claws, as big as half a person's head, were about to hook the back of a person's head to complete the hunt, Zhou Tieyi's loud voice suddenly came from all around the Zen temple.

"Cultivation is all about going against the will of heaven. There must be disasters before one can achieve great power. For those who practice martial arts in this world, the disasters are manifested in the form of blood beasts. Only by killing all the blood beasts can one achieve the true self."

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Guan Guan shot out from the meditation room like a sharp arrow, and was actually several points faster than the blood beast. She stretched out her jade-like palm and easily grasped the flaw of the blood beast's fall. Her five fingers turned into a sharp famous sword and cut the blood beast bat into two. When the blood beast died, wisps of blood evaporated, and with some mysterious will, it fell into a deeper sleep. The dead blood beast left behind a piece of translucent blood amber. This amber was extremely pure and was a supreme product for martial arts practice.

Guan Guan picked up the blood-colored amber and played with it in her hand for a while. She roughly understood what Zhou Tieyi meant.

Zhou Tieyi materialized a part of each person's blood into blood beasts, turning them into disasters. When people who practiced the way of dream martial arts killed these blood beasts, the most important thing was not the result, but the process.

Because the Blood Sea Lord is the underlying rule of this world, theoretically no matter how many blood beasts are killed, the Blood Sea Lord will not be killed directly. However, the process of killing blood beasts is actually denying the living side of the Blood Sea Lord and emphasizing His dead side.

······
When Zhou Tieyi fell into the Buddha's dream, earth-shaking changes took place in the world. The first was the battle between Zhou Tieyi and the Emperor of Daxia on the sea of ​​blood. Although no one was watching, the two peerless divine weapons that symbolized the destiny of Daxia collided directly without any skill, causing two waves of sea of ​​blood. Even though the waves of sea of ​​blood were weakened by other seas, when they reached the coast, they still created waves several feet high, submerging many coastal towns and causing disasters in eight coastal provinces.

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. The spring ploughing that everyone had high hopes for had finally shown signs of progress, but its future became uncertain as the country's mountains and rivers were shattered. Many provinces that had invested huge amounts of resources and funds reported the disaster to the Great Xia court. Coupled with the original drought, the upward trend of the entire Great Xia took a sharp turn for the worse.

Pingzhang Palace, where the Queen Mother handles government affairs, the Great Xia Emperor was also involved in the Buddha's dream. The Queen Mother certainly could not announce this news to the public, so she pretended that the Emperor was concentrating on practicing Taoism and it was a critical time, so she would not meet with outsiders. Fortunately, the Great Xia Emperor had done this before, and the court had been cleaned up in several rounds of political struggles. Many officials in the court were loyal to the Great Xia Emperor, so no one raised any objections.

But the fact that no one raises any objections doesn't mean the issue can be resolved reasonably.

"Master Shi, I have read the memorials from the eight provinces affected by the disaster. How much money and grain can the Ministry of Revenue allocate to solve the problem?"

There is a thick pile of memorials in front of the Queen Mother. Now the Emperor of Daxia is trapped in the Buddha's dream. For the Queen Mother, this is an unprecedented moment. It is busy but also fulfilling. The whole world is decided by her word, and she no longer needs to worry about what anyone else thinks.

Shi Changsheng looked embarrassed. "Empress Dowager, the money issue is easy to solve. Now we have the central bank and the stock exchange. We just need to be careful about issuing national debt in the name of disaster relief. I believe that the officials of the world will understand the court's difficulties."

"But money alone is not enough without food."

Shi Changsheng said seriously that as the Minister of Finance of Daxia and a third-rank practitioner, although Shi Changsheng was at a disadvantage compared to Zhou Tieyi in every aspect, as a leading Confucian scholar, he had studied Zhou Tieyi's policies seriously over the past six months, and naturally he had learned a lot.

For example, why Zhou Tieyi, who obviously had countless "money" to use, still let the merchants cut off the food supply to the nine western provinces? His purpose was to rob Peter to pay Paul, so that the overall food supply of Daxia would appear abundant, so that it could calmly respond to the reform.

For this, Zhou Tieyi had to thank the Buddhist Bodhisattvas. If they had not separated the nine western provinces from the control of the imperial court, how could Zhou Tieyi have justified his food shortage? Many times, a huge empire is not defeated but dragged down.

Hearing Shi Changsheng talking about the food problem, the Empress' confidants in Pingzhang Palace looked at each other in bewilderment. Originally, the farming reform led by Zhou Tieyi had already shown initial results, but yesterday's earth dragon caused many farmlands to be damaged. Even if the Five Immortals tried their best to rescue them, the summer harvest would at most be the same as in previous years. At the same time, this also required the court to bring more fertile land under the management of the Five Immortals system, otherwise it would be even more difficult to control natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Since it is no longer possible to produce food, the only way left is to distribute it.

Who has the most food in the world now?

Aristocratic families and various schools of thought.
