I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 680 Changing the Past
The large, striped tiger stood upright and gradually transformed into the likeness of Zhou Tieyi.

However, a fictional book, "The Biography of Zhou Tieyi," was hanging in front of him.

At this point, there was no need for him to hide anything from Xing Sha any longer. He laughed and said, "How could the cage set up by the jailer trap me? The sage is omnipresent. I just need to collapse a little at the right time."

Before the imperial decree was bestowed upon him, he realized that there was something wrong with the national fortune power that the Great Xia emperor had imposed on him, but he still calmly used the essence blood of the Qilin to bear this part of the national fortune power.

Therefore, he was naturally looking for a way to escape. Li Jianhu's book "Sword Opens a New Heaven" was not only a weapon, but also Zhou Tieyi's own attempt to escape.

He used his divine power of "usurping the gods" to extract the divine authority of the White Tiger from the Divine Fiend White Tiger Armor and condense it into a virtual divine core. He then maintained the power within it without diminishing, but this virtual divine core remained in his hands from beginning to end.

Then, when he and Miaoyu attacked Yuanmeng, Zhou Tieyi took the opportunity to deliver the Divine Fiend White Tiger Armor to Yuanmeng, the divine general.

At that time, he couldn't judge how powerful the Great Xia Emperor's backup plan was, nor could he be sure that he would win.

Therefore, his backup plan must be delivered to a powerful enemy like Yuan Meng.

Afterwards, his supernatural powers became more and more extensive, and he also obtained his own "final judgment" from Guan Guan. So he followed the trend and wrote his own autobiography in the same way as writing "Sword Opens a New Heaven", and placed this autobiography with the Divine Fiend White Tiger Armor.

Later, during the battle at Yujing Mountain, he lost his Dao and entered sainthood, and his innate saintly body was taken over by the Emperor of Great Xia.

But at that time, he was like many other deities, his self was immortal. Even if his saintly body was taken away, it only put him in a chaotic and scattered state, unable to contact the real world.

At this time, he just happened to let "The Legend of Zhou Tieyi" inherit his power. In fact, at that time, one of his backup plans was to "resurrect" through the Divine Fiend White Tiger Armor.

However, such a resurrection would have cost him a great deal, making it not the best option.

Therefore, by using Li Jianhu, Yuan Tong, and Tengri, and by using his own "final judgment" to restrain them, he destroyed the path to sainthood for the Great Xia Emperor and the Great Xia Ancestor. Then, with the help of the Illusionary Realm and the three Quasi-Saints, he formed a cage to imprison the will of all the gods.

But in reality, he has not been resurrected up to this point.

The one who lives in Liangjie Village has always been the 'Master'.

Therefore, the people in Liangjie Village all say that Master has no name, because he has long since hidden the name Zhou Tieyi in another place.

Even if others knew that the Master was Zhou Tieyi, they did not realize that those who knew and could speak of him were actually among the most outstanding people in the world, or even those like the Dragon Priest who had come into contact with the Holy Path.

Otherwise, ordinary people, for various reasons, increasingly use "Celestial Venerable" to refer to Zhou Tieyi.

In the secular world, this is considered a teaching from a venerable one, but in essence, it means that Zhou Tieyi did not actually appear in this world, but has gradually disappeared from it, existing in the world in a state of chaos.

Only now, after imprisoning the various deities for twenty or thirty years, confirming that the Phoenix Ancestor had accepted his conditions, and confirming that the Thunder God was siding with him, has Zhou Tieyi, the jailer, truly stepped forward to face everyone.

Thor's words to Ape-Tsutomu were correct.

They are deities, they have countless possibilities, and even Zhou Tieyi could not imprison a deity for a lifetime.

But even Thor himself didn't realize one thing: the most powerful prison isn't the two realms, but the prison of the heart. The gods have indeed lived for tens of thousands of years, but have they ever lived only twenty or thirty years like mortals?

The lives of ordinary people over the past two or three decades have actually been enough to change the mind of a deity.

Of all the great principles, only the easy is unchanging, even for gods and saints!
When the deities believed that Zhou Tieyi had been imprisoning them, they naturally accepted Zhou Tieyi's status as a jailer. Isn't it perfectly normal for prisoners to compromise with their jailers?

So when Phoenix Ancestor and Thunder God compromised, even if Azure Dragon and Illusion Lord refused to let go, and even if the Heavenly Emperor had other plans, Zhou Tieyi had already grasped half of the will of the gods and all the will of humanity. There was nothing in the world that he could not do.

Xing Sha rushed toward the illusory book in front of Zhou Tieyi. He realized that it would take some time for Zhou Tieyi to revive in his body, and even if he self-destructed, he wouldn't let Zhou Tieyi have his way!
Zhou Tieyi looked at Xing Sha rushing towards him and shook his head.

Even a lion needs to exert its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Logically speaking, it would be easy for this Celestial Venerable to seize the body of a First-Rank Great God who has already actively merged with him. However, given his cautious nature, he would naturally prepare as much reserve as possible!
Outside the White Tiger Palace, atop the Xuanhuang lotus flower, Zhou Kun bowed once more to the Fallen Soul Banner, and then bowed again to the Punishing Soul.

Xing Sha Qi Po already had three of his souls taken away by the worship, making him unable to distinguish danger and actively merging with the Divine Fiend White Tiger Armor. Now, Zhou Kun, the reincarnation of the Earth Mother, has taken away two more of his souls.

Having lost five of his seven souls, how could he possibly contend with a celestial being for control of his body?
Zhou Tieyi opened the book in front of him and wrote.

It possesses the power of a primordial deity who punishes and kills, and commands the White Tiger; it is one of the many manifestations of the Heavenly Venerable Zhou.

The moment he put pen to paper, a colossal Dharma image rose from the White Tiger Palace. This Dharma image was so enormous that the White Tiger Palace was nothing more than a toy in the palm of one's hand compared to it. Even the Peach Blossom Divine Tree, which had merged with the Thirty-Three Heavens, affectionately extended its branches toward the Dharma image.

The appearance of the Dharma face changes among men, women, young and old; it is the supreme and also the myriad phenomena.

"He is a primordial deity who punishes and kills, and commands the White Tiger. He is one of the many manifestations of the Heavenly Venerable Zhou."

A grand voice resounded through the divine and human realms, permeating all things in heaven and earth, creating a new impression on everything influenced by Zhou Tieyi's lineage.

That is, execution is one of the manifestations of the Heavenly Venerable!

"It turns out that the Celestial Venerable was reincarnated as Xing Sha long ago, and only made his move at this time."

"I knew it! That's why Zhou Yulong never touched Yuanmeng, and even when Tengger attacked Zhou Qian and had Yuanmeng Xing Sha take over the White Tiger Palace. It turns out this was all part of the Heavenly Venerable's plan."

"What do you mean by scheming? This is called destiny! It's destiny, no matter how powerful you are, you can't change it!"

To turn falsehood into reality, to reverse cause and effect.

Since Zhou Tieyi can transform into all gods, he can naturally also possess all gods.

All the gods are merely one of his manifestations. As long as he uses his own lineage to present this as fact, then all living beings will naturally be willing to believe the words of this Heavenly Venerable.

If even sentient beings believe, then the image of the deity, which is based on the beliefs of sentient beings, will also change. Combined with Zhou Tieyi's supernatural power of "usurping the gods," he can naturally change the world through the strong observer effect, and even change the past history to a certain extent.
