Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 231 Big Plan
Domain, state!

The land guarded by the princes was called a domain, and the city they built was called a state.

From this we can know that the so-called domains are the vassal states.

The Heavenly Dao asked Ao Bing to emulate Emperor Yu and divide the prehistoric world into three thousand Dao states, and then divide the three thousand Dao states into ten thousand prehistoric domains.

In essence, it is to regard Honghuang as an enlarged version of Jiuzhou, and then let Ao Bing play the human race's method of enfeoffment of princes in it to facilitate the management of Honghuang.

This is not difficult. You just need to explore the primitive terrain, sort out the land veins, and then divide the territory according to the distribution of the terrain and land veins.

But doing so has too many disadvantages.

It is not without benefit that Heaven asked Ao Bing to divide the prehistoric world. If this is accomplished, even if he cannot become the Emperor of Man, he will be the Emperor of Earth, the supreme ruler of heaven and earth, second only to the Emperor of Heaven, and equal to the Three Sovereigns and Four Imperial Emperors.

However, what comes easy has a price.

Ao Bing came from later generations and was well aware of the drawbacks of the feudal system, which was far inferior to the centralized system.

He promoted the feudal system in the ancient times. Even if he successfully ascended the throne of the emperor of the earth, how much power would he have afterwards? Could he make the princes in various places obey his orders?

Apart from anything else, the Orthodox Sect will definitely not submit to him, and the Western Sect will not submit to him either, not to mention the other people with great supernatural powers, they will definitely not submit to him either.

As long as these people take the lead in disobeying Ao Bing, their disciples and grandchildren will naturally not obey Ao Bing. In this way, there will be many princes who disobey Ao Bing.

Under the feudal system, the power of the common ruler of the world came from the support of the princes.

Without the support of the princes, the common ruler of the world will only look powerful, but in reality he will be little more than a puppet, with no power at all, and his orders cannot leave the palace.

Ao Bing was well aware of the drawbacks of the feudal system and did not want to be a puppet. If he became the emperor of earth, he would have to hold all the power and be able to make decisions on his own.

Therefore, since Heaven allowed him to divide the wilderness, he certainly could not establish a feudal system. If he had to, he would establish a centralized system with more concentrated power, concentrating all honor and disgrace in the world in one person and commanding all things.

But compared with the feudal system, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing to implement a centralized system in this era.

If the feudal system was implemented, Ao Bing only needed to do his job honestly and quietly divide the prehistoric land into three thousand states and tens of thousands of regions according to the distribution of terrain and land veins.

Then, let each domain force choose its own candidate for domain master, and each domain master will choose his own candidate for state master.

In this way, the division of the prehistoric world was completed, and Ao Bing had completed the task assigned to him by the Heaven. With the blessing of infinite merits, he was promoted to the throne of the Emperor of the Earth.

But this kind of emperor only has the title of emperor, but not the power of emperor. The centralized system can not only give him the title, but also the power.

It is difficult to implement a centralized system. It is not a simple matter of dividing the territory. It requires confronting various forces. It is necessary to suppress them and to master the means to control them to prevent them from rebelling.

The prerequisite for centralization is to gain the support of local forces, whether actively or passively, and they need to hand over the power in their hands.

But how can such things be done proactively? If one wants to centralize power, one cannot avoid fighting against local forces, and conflicts are bound to break out.

It is more difficult to implement a centralized system than a feudal system. The difficulty lies here. You have to go against local forces. If you are not careful, you will be overthrown by local forces, resulting in the failure to implement the plan and the need to replace people.

At the same time, even if the local forces can be suppressed, the problem cannot be completely solved. We must have the means to control them. Otherwise, their submission is only temporary, and they will rebel immediately at the slightest disturbance.

For this reason, Ao Bing thought about it for a long time before he came up with a set of definite and feasible methods. This method is what he did in Yousu State.

First, defeat the local forces, and then find a way to control the local dragon veins. In this way, you can control the local forces and make them dare not rebel easily.

The dragon vein is the foundation of a place and the basis for the survival of cultivators. How can they rebel if the dragon vein is controlled by outsiders?

With a single thought, the dragon vein shrank and no longer released spiritual energy outwards, making it difficult to stop it from descending.

Centralization of power means the power of dragon veins. As long as all the dragon veins in the world become the incarnation of Ao Bing and are used by him, then he, the emperor of the earth, is a true emperor of the earth and is not afraid of local forces opposing him.

But there are so many dragon veins and spiritual veins, almost endless. It is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task and very energy-consuming to completely control them.

Therefore, Ao Bing came up with an idea. He used the dragon vein as the foundation to devour all the spiritual veins in the area and gather them into one.

Just like what he did in Yousu Country, he gave up the rest of the spiritual veins and only retained the strongest dragon vein as his incarnation.

Each area and each dragon vein were his incarnations. This not only greatly reduced the cost of management, but also ensured that outsiders would not be able to take back the control of the dragon vein from him.

Besides, there are several benefits to doing this.

After devouring the spiritual vein, the dragon vein has undoubtedly become stronger. With just some more means, even if it cannot be upgraded to the level of quasi-saint, it can be upgraded to the level of half-step quasi-saint.

When the dragon vein's level reaches half-step quasi-saint, it can draw vitality from the chaos, making up for the consumption of the primeval world while strengthening the origin of the primeval world.

This is called open source!
At the same time, Ao Bing transferred the dragon vein from underground to the depths of the void, which was equivalent to promoting the development of the void world, that is, the fairy world in disguise.

The dragon veins have been moved to the depths of the void, so the innate spiritual energy they release and the vital energy they absorb from the chaos, the most essential parts of which will definitely remain in the void world rather than the human world.

As a result, in order to develop better, the immortals had to leave the human world and go to the void world to develop. As more and more immortals went there, over time, the void world naturally became the immortal world.

Opening up the source of information is a great achievement, and promoting the development of the fairy world to reduce the pressure on the human world is also a great achievement. With these two great merits, Ao Bing does not believe that his plan will fail. It is not that he has confidence in himself, but that he has confidence in the way of heaven.

Opening up source is the most urgent matter for Honghuang. Evolving the fairy world and alleviating the pressure on the human world are also the focus of Honghuang's future development.

Since Ao Bing's plan could promote these two things, there was no reason for the Heavenly Dao not to support him. Even the Heavenly Dao was on his side, and he really couldn't imagine how he could lose.

Of course, Ao Bing's plan was good, but it was difficult to implement. Apart from other things, suppressing local forces was not an easy task.

The local spiritual veins and dragon veins are all controlled by local forces. If you can't subdue them, you will not be able to gain control of the dragon veins and spiritual veins.

Without control over the dragon veins and spiritual veins, gathering many forces into one and centralizing power will naturally be empty talk.

Although this matter was difficult, Ao Bing had already made a plan in his mind. It was nothing more than starting with the easy and then moving on to the difficult, from weak to strong.

In the local area, Ao Bing could not move forces such as the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and the Taoist traditions of the great supernatural powers. But could Ao Bing still not move ordinary forces?

The ancient world is vast, and quasi-saints and people with great supernatural powers are only a minority after all. There are many blessed places, famous mountains and lakes, rivers, lakes and seas, but at most there are only a few Golden Immortals in charge.

Some, there is not even a Daluo Jinxian.

Such forces are Ao Bing's target. At the same time, the areas occupied by these forces add up to at least 80% of the territory of the prehistoric world.

If he could deal with them, Ao Bing, the Emperor of Earth, would truly be worthy of the title.

Afterwards, possessing the power of the Emperor of Earth, why should he be afraid of those people with great supernatural powers? As long as they did not attack their temples, they would attack their disciples. How could they dare to resist?

As for saying that although these forces are not strong, they are still a strong force when added together. It takes a lot of manpower to subdue them.

Where did that manpower come from?
This is easy!

Not to mention the strategies of driving a tiger to devour a wolf and killing someone with a borrowed knife, let’s just talk about the dragon vein incarnations transformed by Ao Bing.

It is not just about releasing spiritual energy and absorbing the primordial energy, but also possesses powerful strength. Don't forget that they are equivalent to half-step quasi-saints.

There is one dragon vein in each domain, and the so-called domain master's authority is manifested by gaining the recognition of the dragon vein and thus having the power to manipulate the dragon vein.

In other words, every domain master, with the blessing of the dragon vein, is equivalent to a half-step quasi-saint. Manpower, isn't that what we have?

The blessing of dragon veins is only the foundation. The blessings that a domain lord can obtain include not only dragon veins, but also luck and people's hearts.

It is no exaggeration to say that if there is a domain lord who can integrate local forces, then with the blessing of dragon veins, luck and people's hearts, he may be able to exert power comparable to that of a quasi-saint.

A domain master is more than just a status, but also a natural status, possessing great power.

Why did Ao Bing plan to appoint his offspring as the domain lord? Not only because his offspring was more trustworthy, but more importantly, he wanted to secure a future for his offspring.

Even a saint cannot guarantee that all his disciples are Daluo Jinxian or even Quasi-saints. If a saint cannot do this, then Ao Bing naturally cannot do this either.

He himself is not even a quasi-saint yet, so how can he guarantee that his future descendants will also be able to become Daluo Jinxian or even a quasi-saint?
But with a domain lord as a backup, things are different. No matter what the talents of the offspring are, as long as they are canonized as domain lords, in the future, they will at least start as Daluo Jinxian, and may even have the hope of reaching the realm of quasi-saint.

At the same time, enthroning his sons as domain lords can also consolidate his rule. This is to imitate Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, who enthroned his sons, shepherded the people on behalf of the heaven, and guarded the four directions.

……

Ao Bing’s idea is very perfect, and the State of Su is the place where he verifies his idea.

Marquis Su and other nobles of the State of Su were local forces, but they were wiped out by Ao Bing through the Shang Dynasty.

The remaining dragon spirit veins were also merged by him, turning into nine dragon veins, with abilities comparable to those of a half-step quasi-saint.

At this point, Su Ding is here. Next, Ao Bing only needs to spend some time rebuilding this place to turn it into the first large domain in the prehistoric world.

But local forces cannot be completely eradicated. After killing a group of them, new local forces will soon emerge.

Just like Su Hou, Huang Feihu, and other Shang nobles, they have Su, a new local force.

However, Su Hou is different from others. He is considered to be Ao Bing's father-in-law, and his inheritance, although said to be his own, actually belongs to the future children born to Ao Bing and Daji.

Therefore, Ao Bing could rest assured to keep Su Hou here, and even do his best to help him develop and control other forces.

The stronger Su Hou is, the more beneficial it is for Ao Bing.

In the future, when he and Daji have a child, he will make this child the lord of this region. With the help of Marquis Su, he won't have to worry about him being sidelined by local forces.

This was also in imitation of Emperor Huangdi. At that time, Emperor Huangdi took women from various tribes into his harem in order to govern the world, and then granted the sons born to their mother's tribe.

In this way, the emperor's sons, who have the help of their maternal clan, do not have to worry about being targeted by the local people.
