I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 654: The King and the Chariot are Exchanged, the City God Becomes a Saint

When the eight drought demons came to life, in the underworld of the lotus world, a huge black and white snake, a symbol of life and death, raised its head.

The will of a saint cannot be completely destroyed, it can only be suppressed. The same applies to Zhou Tieyi.

The future anchored by the Emperor of Life and Death is that when a new underworld is born, He will also be reborn from it.

This future did happen, and he successfully relied on Zhou Tiege's body to be reborn. Therefore, whether for the stability of the Lotus World or for his own brother, Zhou Tieyi could not destroy the giant snake of life and death that symbolized the underworld of the Lotus World.

When Zhou Tieyi's body was seized by the Emperor of Daxia, the black and white giant snakes were also engaged in a tug of war.

"If he becomes a saint, he won't be like my brother. Maybe by then you and I won't even have a physical body. I don't care, but I don't know if you can bear it."

Zhou Tieyi spoke in a relaxed tone, and the white snake head laughed playfully.

The black snake head looked coldly at the development of everything. In fact, Zhou Tiege didn't need to provoke him. As a god, he could see clearly the development of the world situation. He knew what role he could play in the next situation. He was just calculating the gains and losses.

Obviously, with Zhou Tiege's restraint, even if he surrendered to the Emperor of Daxia, the role he could play would be limited. At the same time, what the Emperor of Daxia could give him, Zhou Tieyi could also give him.

With the same benefit results, one side has a higher success rate. For rational gods, they certainly know what to choose.

The black snake head said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If I agree to take action, He cannot suppress me forever and must let me go."

The Emperor of Life and Death was obviously asking for an exorbitant price, and the point was just short of asking that Zhou Tieyi must help him become a saint.

Zhou Tiege smiled and said, "Half."

Zhou Tiege asked for a high price and paid a low price. He felt that the price he offered was very realistic.

"What do you mean?"

"Let me let you go for half of the time. After all, the other half belongs to me!"

The Emperor of Life and Death was silent for a while, "I agree. From now on, I will be in charge of the underworld of night, and you will be in charge of the underworld of day."

The two made a contract with the gods.

The next moment Zhou Tiege no longer suppressed the Emperor of Life and Death, and at the same time the Emperor of Life and Death opened up more power to Zhou Tiege.

The long river of history began to surge, and scenes of the future emerged.

It was only at this moment that everyone realized what Zhou Tieyi had done.

As an existence comparable to a saint, as a deity who has anchored history once, and as the ancestor of the human race who has inherited the entire inheritance of the Yan clan.

Zhou Tieyi had been preparing since he ascended to the position of sub-sage in the Lotus World, and he had already had corresponding plans even earlier.

Everyone knows that Zhou Tieyi values ​​his brother, and they also know that Zhou Tiege is the carrier of the Emperor of Life and Death.

However, with the restraint of the Emperor of Life and Death and the glory of Zhou Tieyi's saintly path in front of them, everyone subconsciously ignored the importance of Zhou Tiege. At least no one thought about what kind of future Zhou Tieyi would have if he fell from the saintly throne again!
So although his fall from the sainthood this time was not like the first time he descended to Daxia, Zhou Tieyi had already experienced the future, so he was not confused at all about the ten thousand years.

This time Zhou Tieyi couldn’t see the distant future, but his arrangements could at least see into the future 20 to 30 years from now!
In the chaotic river of fate of billions of living beings, one can see the clear Buddha light coming from the west. A master and his disciples, five in number, went from the south, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, building bridges and temples along the way.

The temple is called Chenghuang. On the left is Taihang Yinting, and on the right is the Buddha of the Underworld. As for the statue of Chenghuang in the middle, it has vaguely turned into Zhou Tiege's appearance.

The City God is the Lord of Life and Death, and also the God of the Underworld. This is in line with the contract between the Emperor of Life and Death and Zhou Tiege. From now on, the souls of the Underworld will first be judged by the City God, and then transported to the underworld. Those who do good will enter the Taihang Yin Court to enjoy their life in the underworld, and those who do evil will enter the underworld Buddhist kingdom to be punished. Good and evil will be rewarded, and then they will enter the Yellow Springs to seek the afterlife.

The rules of life and death were further improved, just like the great contribution made by the Emperor of Life and Death when he was first born, when he completely separated the world of the living and the underworld.

It's just that although the Emperor of Life and Death divided the boundary between the world of the living and the underworld at that time, he also weakened the connection between the world of the living and the underworld, so that the chances of all living beings entering the underworld to seek the afterlife were slim, and only those who practiced cultivation would have a high chance.

But now, through the City God, the Lord of Life and Death, the connection between the underworld and the world of the living has deepened again. This connection is orderly, not as disordered as in the ancient times. At the same time, this connection also makes reincarnation easier. People in this world have more opportunities to seek the afterlife, rather than completely returning to the origin of heaven and earth.

The inheritance of civilization is no longer just through blood. Ordinary people also have the opportunity to inherit the wisdom of their previous lives, which allows the human race itself to achieve a qualitative leap.

This huge fluctuation of fate made the voice of the future suddenly resound throughout the world.

"Praise to the Emperor Mingling, who upholds the heavens, governs the people, protects the country and brings blessings. He has infinite power and virtue, manages the underworld, and has infinite compassion, protecting all living beings in their reincarnation."

……

Voices of prayer came from the future, clearly audible. This was Zhou Tiege's divine title. The City God was the king of the city. No matter how the world changed, as long as the rules of the netherworld and the world of the living remained unchanged, he would have the faith and incense of the whole world.

The fire of humanity ignites from the long river of destiny. Everyone shines like a firefly in the chaotic river. This light converges into a clear path, and among the countless chaotic choices in the future, it arrives at the great world that the saints expect.

Everyone in the world can be a scholar.

The light of the Holy Path extended from the future to here. Without Zhou Tieyi's suppression, the Emperor of Life and Death also mobilized his own strength with all his strength to break through the light of the Holy Path in the past.

The saint exists in the past, in the future, and naturally in the present as well.

An illusory bridge of the holy path emerged under the giant snake of life and death. The Emperor of Daxia was able to ascend to the holy throne with the help of Zhou Tieyi. After completing his self-compromise, Zhou Tiege and the Emperor of Life and Death could also ascend to the holy throne.

Zhou Tiege and Emperor of Life and Death depend on each other. Emperor of Life and Death gave Zhou Tiege authority, and Zhou Tiege expanded this authority to supply Emperor of Life and Death. However, the relationship between the two is equal and symbiotic, not like ten thousand years ago when one side was dominant and the other side was subordinate.

"Damn it!"

Above the Thirty-three Heavens, feeling the change of fate, the expression of the Emperor of Daxia changed drastically for the first time. It turned out that this was what Zhou Tieyi meant by the migration of Buddhism to the South!
They were all deceived by Zhou Tieyi and focused their attention on Buddhism, but they forgot that the purpose of Buddhism along the way was not to achieve Buddhism, but to establish an Emperor of the Underworld in the Yang World!

But at this time, the cooperation between the Emperor of Life and Death and Zhou Tiege was so flawless that countless sentient beings in Buddhism, Buddhist school, the Lotus World, and the gods of the underworld had seen that clear future. Coupled with the status of the Emperor of Life and Death himself, this future point had already been determined, and the two of them becoming saints was almost unstoppable.

It cannot be stopped, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be delayed.

A jade seal appeared in the hands of the Emperor of Daxia. This jade seal was of infinite power and contained the will of the entire Daxia.

"I am the Lord of Heaven and Earth. When you become saints, Buddhism will spread to the South!"

He acted decisively and helped Zhou Tiege and Emperor of Life and Death to anchor their day of sainthood. Without the anchoring of the Great Xia Emperor, Zhou Tiege and Emperor of Life and Death could have borrowed the concept of saintly chaos to first become saints and then complete the migration of Buddhism to the south, just like the great aspiration of Buddhism.

But this would obviously make the current situation completely out of the control of the Emperor of Daxia. He could accept confronting a saint in twenty or thirty years, so he would have at least twenty or thirty years to prepare.

But if Zhou Tiege were allowed to become a saint now, the Emperor of Daxia believed that Zhou Tiege would rather give up his sainthood than pull him down from the sainthood.

This obvious secret was made known to every human being in the world through the Emperor of Daxia, and to every ghost and god in the underworld through the Emperor of Life and Death. This is the future that all living beings have jointly anchored. Thirty years later, Buddhism will spread to the south, and the City God will become a saint!

"Fuck, so this is the general trend of the world. This is how saints come into being."

Yu Hong personally experienced the entire preliminary arrangements for the migration of Buddhism to the South, and he simply thought that Tianzun wanted to merge gods and Buddhas in order to draw Western Buddhism into the Lotus World system and ultimately achieve the concept of the Thirty-three Heavens.

But I didn’t expect that Tianzun was not planning about the sky, but about the earth!

Moreover, once his plan is launched, it will become a future that even the enemy will have to agree to. Otherwise, the result will be even worse, and the City God will ascend to heaven ahead of time!
On the Bridge of Holy Path, the figures of Zhou Tiege and the Emperor of Life and Death began to fade.

If someone could foresee the true future, then at the moment of foreseeing, they would be teleported to the corresponding future point in time.

This was Zhou Tieyi's previous conjecture about the strong observer effect in this world.

And now Zhou Tiege and the Emperor of Life and Death have helped him verify this conjecture.

Buddhism spread to the South, and the City God ascended to sainthood.

This is the future foreseen by all living beings in the world, including Zhou Tiege himself, so when he observes this future, he needs to collapse to the corresponding point in time to determine this future, just like when Zhou Tieyi collapsed and determined that the human race would prosper for ten thousand years!
But before leaving, the surrounding giant python of life and death raised its head and let out a roar, and then the rules of life and death began to change, and a dead person was forcibly resurrected. This was a true resurrection!

The body of Li Jianhu obtained by Yuan Tong, the big hole in the chest that was originally imprisoned by the power of Taiyin healed in an instant, the muscles and blood were reorganized, and the heart began to beat, bringing the dead person back to life.

In the ice, Li Jianhu suddenly opened his eyes, and holy power surged in his body, reconstructing every part of his body structure. The Confucian power of moral integrity left by Deng Zhenquan also began to revitalize, making the Emperor's Roar Sword in his hand shine with peerless divine light!
This divine light reached up to the thirty-three heavens and penetrated the underworld, so much so that the Great Xia Emperor on the Holy Path Bridge had to squint his eyes slightly, finding it difficult to look directly at it. His mood at this moment was sinking.

The reason why he took Li Jianhu's body away after killing him was because he was afraid that Zhou Tieyi would find a way to resurrect Li Jianhu.

With Zhou Tieyi's ability, even if the corpse was crushed to ashes, even if the soul was scattered, he would be able to find pieces of the soul from the Styx and piece them together.

Only by holding the corpse in hand, maybe he could stop Zhou Tieyi from performing the resurrection technique.

The facts were indeed as he expected. When the new Emperor of Life and Death ascended to the throne, and the saint who held the power over life and death resurrected a person, unless the traces of this person in history were completely erased, for the Emperor of Life and Death, it was just to free the person from the concept of death. Although this was more difficult than eating and drinking, it was not much more difficult.

The moment Li Jianhu woke up, he understood his responsibilities at that moment.

Hanba is a monster that transcends life and death, so the Emperor of Life and Death should restrain and punish him. But now the Emperor of Life and Death is temporarily unable to succeed to the throne, so let him exercise this authority. This is destiny!

Others may not be able to deal with Hanba, but the Emperor's Roar Sword in his hand was born to seal Hanba. This is the trend of the peerless magic weapon being born to perfect itself!
Therefore, when destiny and trends appear, even a saint cannot change them.

The Great Xia Emperor looked at Li Jianhu with a look that seemed like he wanted to devour anyone. Li Jianhu could also feel the Great Xia Emperor's gaze. He already knew the destiny and the general trend, so he had no hesitation or hesitation at this moment. "It seems that even if you have a thousand calculations, you can't defeat the true destiny!"

The truth is always the most hurtful, and this is also true for the Emperor of Daxia who is about to become a saint.

What frightened him even more was that he had vaguely sensed the so-called destiny!

He saw Zhou Tieyi in a trance. A chessboard appeared between him and Zhou Tieyi. All living beings in the world were chess pieces on this chessboard. Chess pieces had fallen one by one, spreading all over the chessboard. Then, in the center of the chessboard, which seemed important yet unimportant, a chess piece named Saint had already fallen.

It’s just that this saint is not Zhou Tieyi, but Zhou Tiege.

He could vaguely hear Zhou Tieyi's teasing laughter, "The king and the rook have been swapped. It seems that neither I nor you have become a saint. The most attractive place in the center of the chessboard is not the most important place, right?"

The Emperor of Daxia was silent. The game of chess between Zhou Tieyi and the Lord of Daming Palace was already known to everyone. Later, he also studied the game. From the perspective of the game itself, Zhou Tieyi's game was not very good. In fact, the outcome could be seen in the middle stage. He could not win.

But everyone is actually thinking about the first-hand Tianyuan position. Many people think that this is due to the saint's spirit, but now it seems to be quite different.

In a game that is doomed to be lost from the beginning, the most important thing is to make the opponent step into the game step by step, get deeply involved in it, and put himself in his position. He cannot win, but the opponent cannot win either.

The Emperor of Daxia could actually vaguely feel the end of the chess game, but he didn't dare to look at the end now. He was still looking for a glimmer of hope in the game. Otherwise, when he saw the result, everything would be over. He still had chess to play, but he was hesitant when he picked up the chess piece.
