Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 102: I agree to the request of all the beloved ministers

Ao Bing said that he was named the God of Justice by the Jade Emperor for a reason. The problems he had pointed out in front of Taibai Jinxing were all related to rewards and punishments.

If we want to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, we must first standardize the laws of nature, so that we have laws to follow, we must follow the laws, enforce the laws strictly, and punish violations of the law.

Only by clarifying the rules can we better define responsibilities; at the same time, only by clarifying responsibilities can we better hold people accountable.

Ao Bing's suggestion, in the final analysis, is that the Jade Emperor should govern the Heavenly Court according to the Heavenly Rules and Laws. If the Jade Emperor follows his suggestion, he will need to appoint a God of Justice to be in charge of punishment.

And there is no other candidate for the God of Justice except Ao Bing.

First, he has a strong background and is not afraid of offending people. Second, he was the one who proposed these things. One thing does not require two masters. Since he proposed it, it is natural for him to execute and implement it.

Ao Bing had no objection to this.

The power of punishment is very important, and it can even be said to be the fundamental authority of heaven, and it is the supreme means for it to rule the vast universe.

Why do people fear the way of heaven? Isn't it because if you do something wrong, you will be punished by heaven?

The Heavenly Court is the embodiment of the rules of heaven and earth, and its authority all comes from the Way of Heaven. Therefore, the Heavenly Court is in charge of the Heavenly Rules and Laws, which means it is in charge of the power of punishment of heaven and earth. Its status is very high and its power is very great.

If the God of Justice goes one step further and completely masters the power of punishment between heaven and earth, becoming a being that punishes on behalf of heaven, then the upper limit will be even higher.

The strongest is the South Pole Eternal Emperor, one of the Four Imperial Gods. He is the true supreme being of heaven and earth. He commands all thunders, controls the key to the birth of all things, and presides over the fortune and misfortune of all living beings.

The weakest is the Emperor Jiuchen of Shenxiao, the highest deity under the Four Imperial Gods, and equally respected as the Emperor Fengdu. He is a great being who controls the punishment of heaven and earth and commands the thunder of the heavens.

This is why Ao Bing is eyeing the position of the God of Justice, preparing to use it as a springboard to further seek the higher position of the Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole, and thus hold the power of punishment between heaven and earth.

Of course, becoming the South Pole Immortal Emperor was not Ao Bing's ultimate goal. His ultimate goal was to become the South Pole Immortal Emperor and use the power in his hands to create three disasters and nine difficulties on the path of cultivation.

Before him, there was no threshold for spiritual practice, and cultivators did not need to overcome tribulations when becoming immortals.

But since then, cultivators have to go through nine difficulties before becoming immortals. And when becoming immortals, they need to go through the test of three disasters.

Only by overcoming the three disasters and nine difficulties can one become an immortal. If one fails to do so, both body and soul will be destroyed and turned into ashes.

This action was to implement the saying that cultivation is against heaven. Because it is against heaven, when the cultivation level breaks through, there will be disasters.

The Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole represents the most honorable position in heaven and earth. If, based on this position, one further establishes heavenly calamities and plans the three disasters and nine difficulties, then one will surely be able to transcend heaven and earth and establish oneself in the realm of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

This is Ao Bing's purpose, everything is for transcendence. And only by mastering the power of punishment of heaven and earth can the three disasters and nine tribulations be established.

Everything needs to have a legitimate reason. Without this authority, it will be useless no matter how loud you shout. You need to push forward little by little from scratch.

But it is so difficult to push forward the establishment of the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations that it is simply making enemies with all the cultivators.

Therefore, even if you work hard to promote this matter throughout your life and no one else reaps the benefits, you will most likely be beaten to death by angry monks.

But if the being who has the power to punish heaven and earth were to do this, there wouldn't be any need for such trouble.

One only needs to swear an oath to Heaven and speak out one's thoughts, and immediately the three disasters and nine difficulties will occur in the world without any obstacles.

There are many things that big people can accomplish with just one sentence, but ordinary people would find it difficult to do it even if they spend their entire lives doing it.

……

…………

This matter concerned his personal interests, so Taibai Jinxing showed great concern. It took him several days to get from the Heavenly Palace to Longzhou.

But on the way back, it only took him three or five breaths to return to heaven from Longzhou.

At this time, the routine court meeting in the Heavenly Palace had not yet dispersed. When the gods in the palace saw Taibai Jinxing leave calmly and then return in a hurry, they all had a bad feeling in their hearts, thinking that he had encountered trouble with Ao Bing.

Not to mention others, even the Jade Emperor was shocked when he saw Taibai Jinxing in such a hurry. He didn't know what Ao Bing had done to make him so angry.

Without waiting for Taibai Jinxing to report back, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Jinxing, how was the result of this trip? Did you encounter any trouble?"

While he was talking, he was also worried whether Ao Bing had said something to embarrass him. But on second thought, he felt that he couldn't do that.

It's not like he hasn't seen Ao Bing before. He is a good kid who is sensible and obedient, who can stand on his side and consider him. He shouldn't embarrass him.

Just as the Jade Emperor was worried about gains and losses, Taibai Jinxing spoke up: "Your Majesty, my humble servant's trip was very smooth. The human dragons are easy-going and polite, unlike the arrogant and rude Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect."

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor and all the gods in the temple breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everything went smoothly, things were good. They were just worried that another figure like the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect would appear.

After the orthodox sect made trouble, the evil sect made trouble too. With the way they were making trouble, the Heavenly Court should just disband them, so that they wouldn't have to stay here and embarrass themselves.

"Since it went smoothly, what about Yang Jian and his sister? Why didn't Jin Xing bring them back?"

Suddenly, someone asked.

After he said this, the gods came to their senses. Yes, if the trip was successful, why didn’t they bring the people back?
The Jade Emperor also looked at Taibai Jinxing in confusion, and saw him facing everyone's puzzled gazes and said calmly: "It's not that the human dragon is unwilling to hand over the person, but that he can't do it."

"The Jade Emperor doesn't know that during this period, Fairy Yunhua's children had other experiences. Yang Jian inherited the legacy of King Yu, and Yang Chan inherited the legacy of Queen Wa."

"Given their identities, how can Renlong hand them over?"

"So, the human dragon asked me to tell the Jade Emperor that we are all family after all, and even if we break bones, we still have tendons. Why should we kill them all and make a fool of ourselves for others to see?"

Taibai Jinxing certainly couldn't tell the Jade Emperor that the two had powerful backgrounds and that they couldn't be touched, so he could only play the emotional card and let the Jade Emperor spare the two of them out of consideration for their family ties.

"As the saying goes, the mother's uncle is the oldest. After all, Yang Jian and his sister are your nephews and nieces. Fairy Yunhua is certainly wrong, but her crime is not this serious."

"What crime have these two children committed? Please, Jade Emperor, for the sake of our blood relationship, pardon their sins."

After hearing that Yang Jian and his sister had become the descendants of King Yu and Queen Wa, the gods in the palace knew that the Heavenly Court could no longer arrest this person. Not only could they not arrest them, but they also had to cancel the charges and return them to freedom.

But they thought about it, but how to tell the Jade Emperor was a problem. Fortunately, Taibai Jinxing's words reminded them that they could not tell the truth, but they could play the emotional card.

Even saints can forgive disciples who have committed serious mistakes. So what does it matter if the Jade Emperor, out of consideration for family affection, pardons the sins of his nephews and nieces for once?
If the saint can do it, the Jade Emperor can do it too. Anyone who says the Jade Emperor is wrong is accusing the saint of being partial and losing his impartiality.

With this in mind, all the gods came out one after another, and one by one they pleaded for the Yang Jian brothers and sisters. "Jade Emperor, Yang Jian brothers and sisters are extremely talented, and their future prospects are limitless. Today, I will grant you a grace beyond the law and restore the relationship between uncle and nephew. In the future, the two of them will become the faces of the Heavenly Court, which will be a great story."

At this time, Taishang Laojun, who had been working in heaven for many years, suddenly stood up and said.

Taishang Laojun, the leader of the Six Saints and the benevolent corpse of Taiqing Saint, the acting leader of the Xuanmen, came forward to plead for Yang Jian and his sister, which was considered to be giving them enough face.

Ao Bing had spoken up to plead for mercy, and now all the gods in heaven, as well as Taishang Laojun, were also pleading for Yang Jian and his sister. Seeing this, the Jade Emperor, who had already calmed down, said:

"Since all the nobles say so, I alone will forgive them this time and pardon their sins."

"Also, for the sake of Emperor Yu and Empress Wa, Qian Yunhua will be made the Goddess of Taoshan, and she will be allowed to move freely in Taoshan territory to benefit the people there."

The Jade Emperor knew how to back down. Not only did he pardon Yang Jian and his sister, he also took the opportunity to reduce the guilt of Fairy Yunhua.

It was absurd that they released him after only facing the wall for several decades. It was like a joke to be punished. But even so, it was hard for the crowd to refute anything.

After all, Yunhua was honored by her son. If she refuted that the Jade Emperor was unfair, wouldn't that mean that Emperor Yu and Emperor Wa didn't even have this little face?

"The Jade Emperor is wise!"

As the Jade Emperor's order was issued, all the gods in the hall cheered immediately.

They didn't care what the Jade Emperor thought, they only knew that with this order, they wouldn't have to worry about the confrontation between Heaven and Emperor Yu and Emperor Nuwa.

The Jade Emperor is infinite and indestructible, and no one dares to touch him, but they are different. For ant-like characters, a single breath from a powerful master is enough to make them unable to bear it.

Therefore, if the Heavenly Court confronts a powerful person, the Jade Emperor may be fine, but they will definitely be in trouble, and who knows how they will be tormented. Therefore, what the Heavenly Court gods fear most is this kind of thing happening.

The Heavenly Dao allowed the disciples of the three religions to be included in the Conferred God List, perhaps without any consideration in this regard. Casual cultivators dare not offend the great supernatural powers, but the disciples of the three religions not only dare to do so, but are also not afraid of their revenge.

This is to borrow the power of the saint to strengthen the prestige of the heaven. If you think about it this way, the disciples of the three religions do have reasons to be on the list.

"Jade Emperor, I have something to report. Regarding the current problems in the Heavenly Court, the human dragon has offered the Jade Emperor some good suggestions. I wonder if the Jade Emperor is willing to listen to them?"

After Yang Jian and his sister finished their business, Taibai Jinxing continued to report.

"The prestige of the Heavenly Court is declining day by day. I have long wanted to change it, but after many efforts, it has been difficult to see any results. Now that Renlong has a good plan to change it, please feel free to tell me."

The Jade Emperor became interested and said to Taibai Jinxing. He could probably guess that Taibai Jinxing's previous abnormal behavior was related to Ao Bing's good advice.

This made him curious. Taibai Jinxing was famous for his indifference to worldly desires. What conditions did Ao Bing offer to make him lose his composure like this?

"In response to the shortcomings of the Heavenly Court, the Rain Dragon God has the following suggestions..."

Next, Taibai Jinxing relayed to the Jade Emperor everything Ao Bing had said to him, especially the last part, about the matter of calculating planetary currency, on which he emphasized.

He even expressed a lot of his own opinions, praising it highly, saying that it was rare in the sky and unique on earth, as if he was afraid that others would not see his support for the matter.

As he spoke, all the gods in the temple looked at him with surprise, as if they were meeting him for the first time.

It's not everyone's fault. It's just that Taibai Jinxing's behavior is too abnormal. We have been serving as ministers in the same palace for so many years, but this is the first time we have seen him support something so clearly.

Given the way he fought bravely for Ao Bing, no one would believe that he had confiscated the benefits from Ao Bing.

Even Taishang Laojun and the Jade Emperor looked at him in surprise. But after all, they were both highly skilled, and after a little thought, they understood his idea.

Indeed, from the standpoint of Taibai Jinxing, there is no reason not to support such a thing that is of great benefit to the Xingchen lineage. No, not only should we support it, but we should also eliminate all opponents.

Whoever dares to oppose this will be the mortal enemy of the star lineage. Taibai Jinxing cannot defeat them, and there are also a series of innate star gods such as Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, etc.

Although the Xingchen lineage suffered severe damage from the suppression of the demon clan in its early years, the remaining strength should not be underestimated. At least they should have no problem killing a few quasi-saints.

"What the Rain Dragon God said is not only beneficial to the Heavenly Court, but also to the prehistoric world. The Jade Emperor should consider it carefully."

After Taibai Jinxing finished speaking, Taishang Laojun thought for a moment, then stood up and spoke.

He said this not to support anyone, but entirely out of public interest, because the prosperity of the Xingchen lineage would indeed be beneficial to the prehistoric world.

"What Laojun said is very true. I hope the Jade Emperor will give it more consideration."

After Laojun, all the gods in the temple followed suit. It was very rare for all the gods in heaven to work together to support one thing.

There was no way. Although Ao Bing's proposal was not in their favor, its main purpose was still to pay them salaries.

Who doesn't want a salary?

If someone dares not to support something that is in the collective interest, or even speaks out against it, will he be able to survive in Heaven in the future?

If you don’t want to offend all your colleagues and be isolated and excluded by everyone, you can only support them.

So, this extremely rare scene happened. Under the leadership of Taishang Laojun, all the gods unanimously asked the Jade Emperor to change the system and agreed with Ao Bing's opinion.

"Bring the secret method here and let me see it."

After looking at the gods, the Jade Emperor suddenly asked Taibai Jinxing for the secret method. By saying this, he had actually expressed his intention to agree to this matter.

Ao Bing's proposal was indeed in his interest. Judging from Taibai Jinxing's expression, if he disagreed today, the friendship between the two of them would probably end here.

"Please look, Jade Emperor!"

Taibai Jinxing was overjoyed when he heard this, and respectfully handed the jade talisman that Ao Bing had given him to the Jade Emperor.

“A very good secret method.”

After receiving the secret method, the Jade Emperor took a look at it and first praised it. Then, under the expectant gazes of everyone, he slowly spoke:
"What the Rain God said is very much to my liking. I have approved the payment of salaries to all the beloved ministers and the heavenly soldiers and generals."

After saying that, the Jade Emperor picked up the jade talisman in his hand and threw it into the starry sky outside the Heavenly Palace.
