Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 158: Leave Your Name on the List of Gods
"Ha ha!"

Master Tongtian laughed happily. He was not afraid of his disciples being on the list because it was something that could not be avoided.

What he feared was that his disciples would be on the list, but Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples would not be on the list. Therefore, when he heard Emperor Yu say that Jiejiao disciples should be on the list, he got angry and thought it was unfair to Jiejiao.

But now, Emperor Yu said that not only his disciples should be on the list, but also Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples. Emperor Yu was so fair, Tongtian Jiaozhu was naturally happy to hear that.

Tongtian Jiaozhu was happy, but Yuanshi Tianzun was not. If what Emperor Yu said was true, all the twelve golden immortals of the Chanjiao would be on the list.

After all, they were all in danger.

This would cut off the roots of the Chan school, so Yuanshi Tianzun certainly could not agree to it.

But he could not find any reason to refute, because Emperor Yu was right. If he wanted to eliminate the calamity, it was not enough to just fill the List of Gods. He also had to let those who had committed the killing calamity overcome it.

What Emperor Yu said did not contain any selfish motives, but was entirely out of public interest. He only wanted to end the killing as soon as possible and bring peace to all living beings in the world.

From Yuanshi Tianzun's standpoint, he could not refute such remarks. If he refuted them, wouldn't it be tantamount to openly admitting that he put the safety of his disciples above the safety of the world and all living things, and disregarded the greater good.

If he really did this, his reputation would be ruined, and the fortune of the Chan sect would be lost, and there would be no possibility of dominating the world anymore.

How can he educate sentient beings without the support of the people? Would he teach them to be selfish? When the Taoist heard this, he must have chopped him alive.

The Saint Taiqing took a deep look at Kunlun Mountain. Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun did not refute, he took it as his acquiescence and listened to him continue to ask Emperor Yu:

"What if that's not enough?"

"There are many vacancies on the Conferred God List, but these people may not be enough."

In fact, Saint Taiqing didn’t know whether it was enough, but that didn’t matter. What if it wasn’t enough?
Moreover, who can guarantee that Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu will not do anything weird? In short, no matter whether they are useful or not, it is always good to have more alternatives.

"Among mortals, there are many who live by virtue and educate the world, and are respected by all living beings. However, they do not have any cultivation, and cannot live forever like immortals."

“Why not have the Great Saint have mercy on them and allow them to be deified after death, so that they can live forever? This can be considered a reward for their education of the world.”

Emperor Yu thought for a moment and said.

And what he said really made it impossible for the Saint Taiqing to refuse. How could he refuse? The Saint Taiqing was the leader of the Human Religion, and his teachings were to educate all spirits.

These people who live by morality educate the world with their own morality, which perfectly fits the teachings of the Human Religion. It can even be said that they are disciples of the Human Religion. It is right for the Great Purity Saint to give them benefits.

There are two benefits to deifying them: first, it rewards their contributions; second, it serves as a role model to encourage more people to learn from them.

This is equivalent to telling all living beings that educating saints with morality is not in vain, and that they can become gods and live forever after death.

For ordinary people, it's very trendy, and there is no greater temptation than this.

"Can!"

Nodding, Saint Taiqing said yes, then looked towards Jin'ao Island and Kunlun Mountain. Seeing that the two still did not object, he continued:

"Emperor Yu is a saintly person. For the sake of all living beings in heaven and earth, he will follow what he said and put all those who are called gods and those who have fallen into disaster on the list, so as to end the killing disaster as soon as possible."

The Holy Emperor proposed, the Saint nodded, and the candidates for the list were decided.

In an instant, the Investiture of the Gods felt something, and endless divine light rose from the depths of Mount Kunlun, transforming into a huge list that floated above the sky.

At first, there was only Taiyi's name on the list, and the rest was blank. But as the Saint Taiqing nodded, a large number of names suddenly appeared on the list, almost filling it up.

Ao Bing had sharp eyes and saw clearly that the names of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were written at the top of the list. After them, the Jie Sect disciples headed by Zhao Gongming filled up most of the list, with as many as two or three hundred people.

It was normal for the Chanjiao Golden Immortals to be ranked high. After all, they were the saints' true disciples, and it was already unfair enough for them to become gods. If they were not given high positions, it would be unreasonable.

Apart from anything else, if they were allowed to be minor gods in heaven, where would the dignity of the saints be placed? How would they have the face to teach the world in the future?

Although the Way of Heaven is ruthless, the saints and the supreme beings of heaven and earth still have some face in His sight. The Way of Heaven may not consider others when doing things, but it cannot ignore them.

As for Zhao Gongming, we can only say that he was unlucky.

The previous rule was that everyone relied on their own abilities, so even if you were in danger, as long as you didn't die, you wouldn't be on the list.

But now the rules have changed. No matter dead or alive, as long as you are in danger, you will be on the list.

In order to snatch the Qiankun ruler from Randang, Zhao Gongming had to take the initiative to commit robbery. Therefore, he had to be included in the List of Gods along with the disciples of the Chan Sect.

It can't be that all the Golden Immortals of the Xianjiao are on the list and he is left out, right?
It was just that Ao Bing was lucky and had escaped the disaster earlier, otherwise he would have been filled in as well.

"Master Guangcheng is my teacher and should not be on the list."

At the moment when the list of the Conferred Gods was finalized, a majestic voice suddenly came from the sky. Immediately, the heaven and earth shook, and the heavenly mechanism spontaneously operated, erasing Guangchengzi's name from the Conferred Gods.

"It's the Human Emperor!"

Seeing this, everyone knew that it was Emperor Xuanyuan who took action. No one was surprised, as this was the right thing to do.

Guangchengzi was the teacher of Emperor Xuanyuan. He had taught him when he was young and had even assisted him in governing the human race. Given this relationship, Emperor Xuanyuan should have come forward to protect him.

When people see this, they will not accuse Emperor Xuanyuan of being partial, but will only praise him for being sentimental and loyal.

In the prehistoric world, the most important thing is the inheritance between master and disciple. Therefore, for a disciple to save his teacher is the greatest political correctness in the prehistoric world, and no one can say it is not right.

Guangchengzi had to give face to the Human Emperor, and with the Human Emperor's guarantor, the calamity that was originally bound to kill him passed silently. No one objected, not even the Heavenly Dao said a word.

But it is different for others. They can only watch their names being finalized and branded on the List of Gods, emitting an immortal light.

Indeed, immortal!

Their names were written on the Conferred God List, and from then on, as long as the Conferred God List was not destroyed, they would not die. Even if they were killed millions of times, they could still be resurrected, which meant they were immortal.

But this kind of immortality comes at a price: one will be controlled by others for the rest of his life and will not have freedom.

"It's over!"

When the disciples of the three religions saw their names appear on the List of Gods, their faces all turned extremely pale and they felt that their future was hopeless.

It was really hopeless. Having one's name on the Conferred God List meant that no matter whether one was dead or alive, one would be on the list in the end. The difference was that if one was alive, one's physical body would be on the list, but if one was dead, one's true spirit would be on the list.

　　These two chapters were thought up on the spur of the moment and were not included in the outline, so they were particularly difficult to write.

　　Hey……
