Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 238 The Most Suitable System for Heaven
With a flash of his figure, Ao Bing crossed an unknown distance of tens of thousands of miles and returned to the Zhoutian world above Longzhou.

Immediately, the Small Zhoutian Star Array began to rotate, and countless starlight turned into galaxies that revolved around Ao Bing, making the flow of time faster and faster.

One year in the outside world is five thousand years inside!
Ao Bing left very cleanly, but after he left, the immortals in the Dragon Realm were in an uproar.

It's easy to say that they are leaving the Dragon Territory and heading for the Void World. But their life's foundation and hard work are all here. How can they just leave like that?
Apart from anything else, what should they do with the formation they had set up in the Taoist temple? It had already merged with the surrounding mountains and rivers and could not be moved at all.

There are also various mineral veins that they have just collected after years of hard work, as well as many places of good fortune, which have long been connected to the earth.

If it is forcibly moved, even if it is not destroyed, it will be seriously damaged and the effect will be far worse than before.

It's not that they don't want to leave, but they have too many possessions. If they have to leave, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. They are not from powerful families, so they can't afford such losses.

"Too deceiving!"

Without any words, the immortals in the Dragon Realm gathered together spontaneously, communicating with their divine thoughts, and severely criticized Ao Bing for forcibly driving them into the void world.

Of course, although they were accusing, they didn't dare to say a single harsh word. Instead, they were mostly venting their grievances.

Say bad things about Ao Bing? They were just angry, not crazy. What was Ao Bing's status? What were their status? It was easy to say bad things about Ao Bing, but if he knew about it later, what would happen to him?

Even if he killed me, I deserved it. There is no reason for me to reason with him.

To be honest, given Ao Bing's current status, being able to notify them in advance instead of just sending them away was already giving them face.

According to the unspoken rules, since Ao Bing has given them so much face, they should not be ungrateful. After receiving Ao Bing's notice, they should take the initiative to leave and leave face for everyone.

If it was usual, it would be true. Some immortals without background would not dare to be enemies with Ao Bing. But now, something unexpected happened. Because a large number of immortals from the Shang Dynasty came here.

The Great Shang Immortal has the support of Great Shang and is more confident. Unlike the local immortals, although he dare not refute Ao Bing to his face, he will not listen to him and will honestly go to the void world.

My goodness, they just arrived in Yousu and haven’t done anything yet, but with just one sentence, they are all going to be driven to the void world. How is this possible?

As a result, a group of Da Shang immortals contacted their backers, hoping that they would put pressure on Ao Bing and persuade him to revoke his decision.

However, when their backstage contacted Ao Bing, Ao Bing had already started to retreat, and all the messages sent to him fell on deaf ears, with no response at all.

No one was surprised by this. It was very common for cultivators to lose contact for hundreds or even thousands of years due to their cultivation. It was normal that they could not be contacted for a while. They could just wait patiently.

……

In a blink of an eye, three years have passed.

It is three years for outsiders, but for Ao Bing who is in the Zhoutian world, it is fifteen thousand years.

After spending so much time, the incense and fire shrine was finally created by Ao Bing.

The key points of incense and Shinto are nothing more than incense and Shinto. Incense refers to the power of incense, the purer the better. Shinto refers to the canonization of gods, the more authority the better.

When it comes to enthroning gods, Ao Bing has limited ability and can only enthrone some low-level gods, namely the gods of mountains, land, water, and city gods who are related to humanity.

In the future, he might be able to enthrone ghosts and gods, but not now.

Because of limited authority, he could not confer a high position on the gods, so Ao Bing focused on purifying the power of incense and vows. Although Ao Bing called the power of incense and vows acquired merit, not all of them were acquired merit. Only the most pure part without impurities could be called acquired merit.

The rest are incense and offerings.

But incense is poisonous!

The more distracting thoughts it contains, the more toxic it is.

But no matter how toxic it is, it will be harmful to the human body after absorption. It is easy to be affected by the distracting thoughts inside, and then gradually lose oneself and become a puppet of Shinto.

Ao Bing had two major gains during this retreat. One was that he created the Shinto talisman, which was the basis for canonizing gods. Only those who mastered the Shinto talisman could be true gods and be protected by heaven and earth.

No, he is a wild god. He has no protection from heaven and earth, and his death is in vain.

The second is to create a method of purifying the power of incense and vows based on Shinto talismans.

The power of incense and vows is transformed from the thoughts of all living beings, and contains their distracting thoughts, namely the seven emotions and six desires, which need to be burned out before they can be absorbed and refined.

The reason for lighting incense before worshipping gods is to place one's thoughts on the incense, and then let the flame burn away most of the distracting thoughts inside.

The incense and vows obtained in this way have greatly reduced their toxicity after initial tempering. If refined in small quantities, it will not cause any harm to the body.

But it cannot be refined too much, so at this time, a second tempering is required to further eliminate the toxicity inside.

By using Shinto talismans to carry the power of wishes, they can be purified bit by bit, so that purer incense can be obtained.

At this time, the power of incense and vows is no longer toxic. As long as you don't absorb too much at one time, there will be no harm.

But even so, the wish power at this time still cannot be called acquired merit, as it is still missing a crucial procedure.

That is, the gods from all sides would hand over all the incense they collected to Ao Bing, and then he would refine it with the divine energy.

Only in this way can one obtain acquired merits.

This step may seem redundant, but it is actually the most important.

Acquired merit is equivalent to the currency of the gods. If everyone can refine it, what will happen? Ao Bing must hold the right to mint coins in his hands, so that he can control the gods to the greatest extent.

At the same time, this step is also to tell the gods where their authority comes from and who gives them everything.

If we do not hold the authority to refine acquired merit in our hands and allow the gods to refine it themselves, then who knows what they will do in order to obtain acquired merit.

Moreover, refining incense into acquired merit is not an easy task. It requires the fire of luck and the rules of heaven and earth.

Ordinary gods do not have this strength. In fact, if Ao Bing did not have enough merit, he would not have this ability.

In fact, this is an ability that only the Heavenly Court has. The incense and fire god way created by Ao Bing is the most compatible with the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court canonizes the gods, protects the people, collects incense, and turns it over every hundred years. Then, it is refined by the Heavenly Court's luck and transformed into acquired merits. Half is kept for its own use, and the other half is returned to the gods as salaries.
