Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 260 It’s hard to violate God’s will
To seal off Tongtianze, it is not enough to just agree to it verbally, a large seal must be set up.

Otherwise, even if Da Shang keeps its promise and does not develop Tongtianze, outsiders will secretly come and steal the fortune of this place.

The monks are fighting for their lives against the heavens, and there are many who are extremely daring. As long as there is a chance, there is nothing they dare not do, so we have to be on guard.

"I want to avoid suspicion in this matter, so I won't interfere. How to seal Tongtianze is up to Long Bo to decide."

Emperor Xin said this indifferently, because he knew that even if he offered to help seal Tongtianze, Ao Bing and others would not agree.

The reason is simple, they are worried that Da Shang will steal from the company. If they let Da Shang seal Tong Tian Ze, what if they secretly leave a back door?
By then, after the seal is lifted, most of the resources in Tongtianze will have been developed, and it will be too late to settle accounts with them. Even if they are killed, the lost resources cannot be recovered.

As for whether the big business will embezzle, there is no need to consider this question, it will definitely happen.

The greed of the Shang nobles knew no limit. They even dared to sell out the interests of the Shang, let alone secretly developing Tongtianze.

Rather than ending up in a mess, it would be better to stop this at the source and not give Da Shang the opportunity to embezzle. The task of sealing Tongtianze should be left to Ao Bing and others.

As for whether Ao Bing and others would embezzle and secretly develop Tongtian Lake, that was not something Emperor Xin had to consider.

In fact, even if Ao Bing and others really secretly developed Tongtianze, it would be a better thing for Da Shang.

No one in Da Shang can guarantee it, but Ao Bing and others are different, they have someone behind them. The disciples secretly developed Tongtian Lake without telling their allies and enjoyed the resources alone. If this kind of thing gets out, will Tongtian Sect Master still have face?
Therefore, even if it was just to save his own face, Sage Tongtian would give Da Shang sufficient compensation afterwards.

Emperor Xin was extremely intelligent and did not need any reminders from outsiders. He could understand many things at once. Therefore, he did not mind giving Ao Bing a favor and saving himself trouble at the same time.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Emperor Xin was so sensible, Ao Bing and the others became more polite. Then, Emperor Xin said:

"I have been in Tongtianze for a while, and it is time to say goodbye. By the way, I still need to discuss with the ancestors about sending people to station in Xianhe, so I will not disturb you, Uncle Long."

Emperor Xin is leaving. Even though Tongtianze has revived, the troubles have just begun.

Because the water level rise is not something that happens overnight, it always takes time. And it may also take time for the canal to lead the water from Tianze to all parts of Kyushu.

The most important thing is that everything has to be done on a first-come-first-served basis, especially when it comes to building canals and diverting water. There are rules for who gets priority and who gets the last turn, and it requires a game of chess with various forces.

All of these require Emperor Xin to worry about. Therefore, in the next period of time, he will definitely be very busy and have no time to delay here. He must rush back to discuss countermeasures with his confidants.

Emperor Xin left in a hurry, leaving behind a few ministers to handle follow-up matters, and then hurried back to Chaoge with his army.

However, part of the Shang Dynasty's heritage, namely some Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, and two Daluo Golden Immortals, remained.

They stayed here, one to keep an eye on Tongtianze, and the other to guard the first level of the Xianhe sluice.

No one can guarantee that the evil forces will not suddenly strike back, so it is only natural to leave some experts to keep an eye on them.

And these masters are just the beginning. More great Shang immortals will arrive one after another in the future.

Of course, the Shang Dynasty alone cannot guarantee the safety of the Xianhe River. After sealing Tongtianze, Ao Bing and the disciples of Jiejiao will find ways to invite more immortals to move to the Xianhe River.

……

"Hey~~"

"I don't know whether helping Da Shang to revive Tong Tian Ze is a good thing or a bad thing."

Looking at Emperor Xin's receding back, Ao Bing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He felt that, with the revival of Tongtianze, although the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty were on the rise, it was getting closer and closer to its demise.

The revival of Tongtianze is actually a bad thing for Da Shang, which is really funny.

This is not a joke, it is a fact.

In the past, Ao Bing naively believed that as long as Tongtianze was revived and Da Shang had sufficient resources, its fortunes would continue, and it would even be able to revive and become more prosperous.

But now, after realizing the destiny that the Shang Dynasty would be destroyed, Ao Bing's cognition changed. He knew that no matter which direction the Shang Dynasty tried, it would accelerate its own demise.

No matter it is a bad direction or a good direction, the harder you work, the faster you will collapse. On the contrary, if you do nothing, you can persist longer.

This was not Ao Bing's groundless conjecture, but the future he saw. Don't forget that he is now in the realm of mythical Taiyi, where he can see the past and the future.

Among the countless futures he saw, not one was one in which the Shang Dynasty survived the catastrophe and continued successfully.

This is God's will. God has destined the Shang Dynasty to perish. No matter how hard the Shang Dynasty tries, it cannot change this result.

So what if Tongtianze is revived? Good things can also turn into bad things. After all, Dashang is not unified.

The Heavenly Dao only needs to use the Demonic Dao to sow discord among the nobles of the Shang Dynasty, causing them to fight each other for the resources of Tongtianze, or even collude with outsiders.

In this way, the vitality of the Shang Dynasty could be depleted without causing any disturbance, accelerating its demise.

If Tongtianze does not recover, it will be a slow death. If Tongtianze recovers, it will be a last gasp. When the last vitality is exhausted due to internal fighting, it will die just the same, and it will die even faster.

Ao Bing sighed here. It was hard to defy the will of heaven. He thought that his efforts for Da Shang might be able to change its fate. At worst, it could at least allow it to have a decent end.

Unexpectedly, all his efforts not only failed to change the fate of the Shang Dynasty, but instead accelerated its demise. It must be said, it is really ironic.

“It is difficult to reverse the situation. Only by making a big change and rebuilding can we regain new life.”

Suddenly, Ao Bing said with emotion. By observing the fate of the Shang Dynasty, he actually gained a new understanding of the Dao, and his realm was invisibly improved a little, and he could vaguely see the trajectory of the long river of fate.

Seeing through the long river of destiny was a sign of a breakthrough to the Golden Immortal Realm. Although his cultivation had not yet reached that level, Ao Bing's realm had already touched the threshold of the Golden Immortal Realm.

If he gave up on cultivating the mythical Taiyi now and instead headed towards the realm of Daluo Jinxian, then within ten thousand years, he would be able to achieve Daluo Dao fruit.

Unfortunately, ordinary Daluo Dao fruit was not what Ao Bing wanted.

“No wonder the great masters of ancient times transformed themselves into various schools of thought in later generations, mingled among the nations, and promoted their own ideas. It turns out that the principles of cultivation are hidden in governing a country.”

"Looking at the rise and fall of dynasties, we know that the laws of nature are unpredictable and the world is cyclical..."

Coming back to his senses, Ao Bing suddenly realized one thing, that the purpose of the great supernatural beings incarnating into various schools of thought was all for the purpose of cultivation.

By observing the rise and fall of dynasties, we can understand the way of heaven. By observing the common people, we can understand the way of man. By observing the growth and decline of all things, we can understand the way of earth.

"Junior brother, if we want to seal Tongtianze, what kind of formation should we use?" The people from Jiejiao didn't know what Ao Bing was thinking, so after seeing Emperor Xin leave, they asked him directly.

"Let's use the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation. This formation is certainly not the strongest, but it is the one we are most familiar with and is relatively easy to set up. In addition, I can also ask the Xiantian Star God to help set up the formation."

Hearing this, Ao Bing weighed the pros and cons for a while and replied.

It's not that he doesn't have a formation that's better than the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation. But the problem is, just because they have one doesn't mean they can set it up. The stronger the formation, the more difficult it is to set up.

As for the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Array, they were able to set it up because they had studied it for a long time in the Zhoutian World.

If it were other top-level formations, such as the Twelve Demons of Dutian Formation, the Hunyuan Heluo Formation, the Xiantian Five Elements Formation, etc., even if they were placed in front of them, they would not be able to understand them, let alone set them up.

"Too!"

Upon hearing this, all the Jiejiao immortals nodded. Then, they followed Ao Bing's instructions and began to take action to prepare for the layout of the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Array.

At the same time, Ao Bing was also mobilizing his own connections to invite a group of innate star gods to come and help.

In Ao Bing's plan, the innate star gods played a very important role. First of all, any formation related to the stars could not be separated from them.

The same star formation, with or without the blessing of the innate star god, the power will be at least 30% weaker. At most, it can be said that there is no upper limit, it is possible to be dozens or hundreds of times stronger.

Just like now, Ao Bing and others are preparing to set up the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Array. Without the blessing of the innate star gods, after the formation is completed, it can only hinder the Daluo Jinxian at most.

But if there is the blessing of the innate star god, even if a quasi-saint comes, he can be stopped for a while, and he will not be unable to react and be mixed in.

The gap is so obvious that when Ao Bing sets up the Small Zhoutian Star Array, he must ask the innate star gods for help, which is enough to save a lot of resources.

Secondly, although the caves of the innate star gods are all in the heaven, they are also immortals and can open another palace in the lower world, such as on both sides of the immortal river.

No one would refuse the benefits that are in hand. If Ao Bing came forward to invite, those innate star gods would definitely not mind building another Taoist temple in the paradise on both sides of the fairy river.

Even if I can't use it myself, I can pass it on to my disciples in the future.

With the innate star god in charge, the Fairy River will be completely stable. Unless the demons are ready to completely turn against the Fairy Way and send out powerful masters, otherwise, a quasi-saint will not be able to cause too much damage to the Fairy River.

The three major forces of Xiantian Star God, Jiejiao, and Da Shang, as well as other immortals sit on both sides of the Immortal River, and in the Immortal River, there is the Dragon Clan.

This kind of arrangement is considered a rare major force even in the entire Three Realms, and it is absolutely stable as it cannot be more stable.

……

The innate star gods all owed Ao Bing a favor, so at his invitation, soon hundreds of innate star gods, led by the two stars of Fulu and Taibai Jinxing, rushed to Tongtianze.

The birthday boy didn’t come.

The Star of Longevity is the Immortal of the South Pole. Because he had offended Ao Bing before, he has now been expelled from the Star God lineage.

It would be an exaggeration to say that they became enemies, but it was inevitable that they would not say hello when meeting and would be regarded as strangers.

This was not done for Ao Bing to see, but Nanji Xianweng really offended the Star God lineage. Today, for the sake of Kunlun Mountain, he was able to betray the Star God lineage and become an enemy of Ao Bing.

Who can guarantee that he will not continue to attack the Star God lineage for Kunlun Mountain tomorrow? Don't look at the innate Star Gods who died or were disabled.

But a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and because the starry sky is constantly recovering, the resources controlled by the Star God lineage are still beyond imagination.

Apart from anything else, among the Four Emperors, except Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi, the other three Emperors, Zi Wei Emperor, Gou Chen Emperor, and Nan Ji Emperor, are all related to the stars.

These are the true supreme beings of heaven and earth, candidates for the Emperor of Heaven. It is impossible for the Chan sect not to be tempted.

Judging from the performance of the Immortal of the South Pole, there is a great probability that he will betray the Star God lineage and help the Chan Sect seize the supreme position that belongs to the Star God lineage.

With this in mind, the Star God lineage, while fearing the Antarctic Immortal, also hated him deeply.

Who doesn't hate a traitor?

……

They were all old acquaintances, so there was no need for formalities. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they got down to business and began to set up the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Array.

Ao Bing coordinated the overall situation, the disciples of Jiejiao were responsible for drawing the formation patterns, and the innate star gods were responsible for drawing the power of the stars.

This took about three years, and countless stars appeared above Tongtian Lake, forming a huge sky curtain that completely enveloped Tongtian Lake and disappeared between heaven and earth.

The power of the Zhoutian separates the inside and the outside.

From then on, only Ao Bing could freely enter and leave Tongtian Lake, even if he was a quasi-saint. Others, even if they were quasi-saints, could not enter Tongtian Lake without alerting Ao Bing.

A person with great supernatural powers could enter without disturbing Ao Bing, but unless he really did not leave any trace, otherwise, what would greet him would be the wrath of the saint.

After the formation was set up, the disciples of Jiejiao did not even take a rest. Each of them left behind an incarnation to comprehend the power of the Immortal River, and then left in a hurry.

They are very busy, extremely busy. Compiling a catalogue of natural treasures is not something that can be done by just sitting at home; it requires collecting information from everywhere.

At the same time, they also needed to sort out the earth veins and draw the prehistoric topographic map. Some went to Huoyun Cave to ask for the secret method of sorting out the earth veins, while others studied the formation method to assist in sorting out the earth veins.

In short, thanks to Ao Bing, the Jiejiao disciples who followed him were all so busy that they wished they could do the work of ten people.

However, despite being busy, they all enjoy it. After all, the hard work is great, but the rewards are even greater.

The merit and luck generated by this can not only be used to improve your cultivation, but also to save your life.

It is true that the task was given to them by Ao Bing, but they were doing it for themselves, so they were naturally very motivated.

After the disciples of Jiejiao left, Ao Bing invited the star gods who had arrived and asked them to choose their enemies and build caves in the blessed places on both sides of the Immortal River.

As Ao Bing expected, all the star gods readily agreed to this.

They really had no reason to refuse. If they agreed to Ao Bing's request, they could not only deepen their relationship with him, but also obtain a cave dwelling. Why not do it?

It was several months later before Ao Bing had dealt with everything.
