Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 269 Zhou Tian Conferred God Book

The Investiture of the Gods can enthrone gods, but the power of the gods it enthrones does not come from the Investiture of the Gods, but from the stars in the sky.

The three hundred and sixty-five gods correspond to the three hundred and sixty-five stars in the sky.

It is for this reason that, with the blessing of the power of the stars, those disciples of the three religions whose true spirits are included in the list can develop divine bodies and possess powerful strength.

At the same time, this also explains why the True Spirits cannot continue to cultivate after entering the list. Their cultivation and power do not belong to themselves, but are given to them by the stars they correspond to.

If it is not your own strength, how can you grow it and become stronger?

From the moment they were deified, their power was fixed, and they would be at the same level as the corresponding stars.

Unless the stars corresponding to them become stronger, there is no reason for them to continue to become stronger.

Similarly, although the immortals who have been deified in the flesh also correspond to the stars, their cultivation remains because they are not dead.

Therefore, after they are deified, not only can they continue to become stronger, but they can also use the power of the stars to speed up their own cultivation.

By comparing the two, we can find that except for being controlled by others, the other advantages of being deified in the physical body are all else. It is much stronger than being deified in the true spirit.

……

Ao Bing's strength is limited, and he cannot create another volume of the Investiture of the Gods, but he can learn from its mysteries. He does not have the Investiture of the Gods, but he has the stars.

The power of the gods ennobled in the Conferred God List all comes from the stars. The power of the gods he ennobled can also come from the stars.

In the Zhoutian world, there are 108 small stars and 3,000 numerous stars. If they are used to confer gods, 108 Taiyi Golden Immortals and 3,000 celestial immortals can be directly created.

One hundred and eight Taiyi Golden Immortals were nothing in the ancient times, but in this era, they were undoubtedly a very powerful force that no one dared to provoke.

If Ao Bing had 108 Taiyi Golden Immortals who were willing to die for him, he alone could wipe out the Chan sect without Yuanshi Tianzun in charge.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Zhoutian World is centered on Ao Bing. If the Zhoutian World is used as the foundation to build the Shinto, the power of the enthroned gods will be controlled by Ao Bing.

This means that as long as Ao Bing is willing, he can take back the bestowed throne at any time.

The Shintoism that can take back the granted Godhood at any time is considered complete. The Shintoism that can only confer the title of God but cannot take back the granted Godhood is inherently flawed.

"The essence of the mountains, rivers and land is combined with the essence of the stars to derive the Gods. In this way, these Gods are born with great power, which is equivalent to a natural fruit of the Tao."

“Even a mortal who has not practiced cultivation can immediately possess a cultivation level comparable to that of a celestial immortal or even a Taiyi Golden Immortal as long as he obtains the divine position.”

After coming up with an idea in his mind, Ao Bing started to deduce it directly. In an instant, the stars turned, and countless starlight flowed, turning into a galaxy, surrounding Ao Bing and flowing rapidly.

It takes one year for the stars to make one circle.

In just a few days, the Milky Way had circled around Ao Bing thousands of times. This meant that Ao Bing, who was at the center of the Milky Way, had already passed through thousands of years in just a few days.

"Zhou Tian Conferred God Technique!"

At a certain moment, Ao Bing suddenly opened his eyes, countless divine lights intertwined, runes danced in the sky, and turned into an illusory divine book in front of him.

This illusory divine book is not a magic weapon, but a magical power, called Zhou Tian Fengshen Shu. Its function is similar to that of Fengshen Bang, both of which are used to confer gods, and can also control the life and death of the gods conferred.

If one's name is on it, he or she can become a god, be blessed by the power of the stars, possess power comparable to that of immortals and gods, and be immortal. But the price is that life and death must be controlled by the owner of the God Book.

However, although the abilities are the same, compared to the List of Conferred Gods, the Zhoutian Book of Conferred Gods is undoubtedly much weaker.

Although it can enthrone gods and grant them great powers, it cannot make gods immortal.

That is to say, those who are on the List of Gods can be resurrected with the help of the List of Gods even if they die.

But those whose names were included in the Zhoutian Book of Conferred Gods, once they died, they were truly dead, and the Zhoutian Book of Conferred Gods had no power to revive them. At most, it could help them reincarnate and start over again.

It is normal to have a gap. The Zhoutian Fengshen Book is just a magical power created by Ao Bing. How can it be compared with the top-level innate spiritual treasure like the Fengshen List?
It is true that it is not as good as the Investiture of the Gods, but compared with the Investiture of the Gods, the Zhoutian Investiture of the Gods is not without advantages. The biggest advantage of this magical power is that Ao Bing, who created it, is still alive and his potential has not been exhausted.

This means that the Zhoutian Book of the Gods has the potential to grow, and its ability will continue to grow stronger as Ao Bing's cultivation level increases.

If Ao Bing achieves enlightenment in the future and reaches the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, then the Zhoutian Book of the Gods may not be beyond the List of the Gods.

In addition, the Zhoutian Book of Gods has another advantage, that is, it can be transformed into a Shinto treasure and connected with the Shinto destiny.

In this way, if Shintoism flourishes in the future, the Zhoutian Book of the Gods, as the most precious treasure of Shintoism, will rise in value and power, thus becoming comparable to or even surpassing the List of the Gods.

……

"go with!"

Looking at the Zhoutian Conferred God Book floating in front of him, Ao Bing shouted softly. In an instant, the Zhoutian Conferred God Book turned into a stream of light and flew into the Zhoutian world.

Rumble!
In the Zhoutian world, the stars shook, and countless starlight flowed, mixing with the incense and vows coming from the Dragon Realm, and poured into the Zhoutian Book of Gods.

Suddenly, the illusory form of the Zhoutian Fengshen Book solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye. Countless mysterious runes flowed and intertwined together, evolving into a series of divine prohibitions.

Transformed into magical power and magic weapon!

This is another application of the way of the gods by Ao Bing. Since magic weapons can be transformed into magical powers, then magical powers can naturally be transformed into magic weapons.

The stronger the magic weapon, the stronger the magical power it evolves from. Similarly, the stronger the magical power, the stronger the magic weapon it evolves from.

The Zhoutian Fengshen Book is not the most advanced magical power, and the magic weapon it transforms into has limited power. But it is a natural divine treasure, so it doesn't matter whether it is strong or not.

As long as the Shinto is strong enough, then with the blessing of the Shinto's luck, the power of the Zhoutian Book of Gods will have no upper limit. Not to mention being comparable to the List of Gods, it is not impossible for it to be comparable to the innate treasure.

“If we want to make the Zhoutian Book of Conferred Gods a supreme treasure of the gods, derive the throne of gods, and confer titles on all gods, the power of the stars and the power of incense and vows are not enough. We also need the power of the earth and mountains, as well as the power of the netherworld.”

As if he had thought of something, Ao Bing suddenly realized something and looked towards the Dragon Territory again.

In an instant, the mountains and rivers of the Dragon Realm felt it, and wisps of essence rose up, crossing the infinite void and coming to the Zhoutian world, mixing with the starlight and incense, and also merging into the Zhoutian Book of Gods.

Boom! The Zhoutian Book of Conferred Gods trembled violently, and the speed of its transformation from virtual to real increased again. The runes flowing around it became more and more mysterious, emitting a brilliant divine light.

But it is not enough, there is still a crucial link missing, that is, the power of the underworld.

But unfortunately, Ao Bing's hand has not yet reached the underworld. He has no connections there, but if he rashly plunders the power of the underworld, he will definitely anger the masters inside and bring him into big trouble.

"Longzhou's luck and Xianhe's luck, combine!"

After taking a deep look at the ground, Ao Bing withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the fairy river and Longzhou that ran through the void.

In an instant, Xianhe and Longzhou felt it, and essence and luck rolled in and merged into the Zhoutian world.

The next moment, the Zhoutian Book of Conferred Gods suddenly shone brightly, like the sun, illuminating the world in all directions. In this brilliant divine light, tall phantoms of gods emerged, exuding terrifying divine power.

The Zhoutian Book of Gods is completed!
With the blessing of the four forces of starlight, mountain and river essence, incense and vows, and luck, the Zhoutian Book of Gods was successfully transformed from a magical power into a treasure of luck, its power is comparable to that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Shinto was born, and its luck was limited, so the power of the Zhoutian Book of Conferred Gods was also limited. In the future, as the City God system is laid out, Shinto's luck will improve, and the power of the Zhoutian Book of Conferred Gods will naturally increase.

"Come!"

Ao Bing stretched out his hand and recalled the Zhoutian Fengshen Book which had turned into a magic weapon.

With a swish sound, a ray of divine light streaked across the starry sky, and in Ao Bing's hand appeared a divine book made of jade sticks, with five big characters "Zhoutian Fengshen Ce" inscribed on it.

When he opened it, he saw that the jade book was filled with small characters. The jade was purple, and the characters were gold. When put together, they glowed with a purple-gold color, giving people a sense of grandeur, dignity, and nobility.

These small golden characters written on the divine book were naturally the names of the divine thrones. The first divine throne that caught Ao Bing's eye was undoubtedly the highest-ranking divine throne.

"The Immortal River Emperor!"

Ao Bing quietly read out the highest position in the Zhoutian Conferred God Book. As he expected, the highest position belonged to the Lord of the Immortal River.

Yes, the Immortal River has infinite potential. It is the foundation of the fairy world and gathers infinite luck. Its status is naturally extremely high. It is very normal for a Shinto emperor to be born here.

It’s a pity that although Emperor Xianhe has a high status, his strength is not that good. He only has the ultimate cultivation level of Daluo and is not even a quasi-saint.

Of course, this is mainly because the Immortal River was just born and the luck it gathered is limited. It needs a period of growth before it can produce a quasi-saint level deity.

The second god position after Emperor Xianhe was not beyond Ao Bing's expectation. He was the Lord of the Dragon Realm and also had the ultimate cultivation level of Daluo.

There is no need to say much about the potential of the Dragon Realm. When the nine dragon veins merge into one and step into the realm of quasi-saint, it will be another quasi-saint level god.

These two deities are the most powerful deities that can be canonized by the Zhoutian Book of Gods, and below them are the second tier of deities.

"Mainly composed of the lords of the thirty-six immortal rivers, the guards of the thirty-six immortal gates, and the high-ranking officials of Human Dragon City," all of whom have the cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The third tier of gods is composed of the guardians of the Fairy River, the middle-level officials of Human Dragon City, and the mountain gods and water gods of Longzhou, all of whom have reached the level of Golden Immortals.

The fourth tier of gods is composed of the lower classes of Xianhe and Renlong City, as well as the mountain gods, water gods and land gods of the Dragon Realm. They have the lowest status and the weakest strength, and all of them are at the level of celestial immortals and mysterious immortals.

The mountain gods, land gods and water gods of Longyu have the lowest status because Longyu is not as good as Longzhou.

Longzhou is mainly populated by cultivators, while Longyu is mainly populated by mortals, so there is a natural difference between them. Being a god here is naturally not as good as being a god in Longzhou.

It can be understood as the difference between Beijing officials and local officials. Being a god in Longzhou is a Beijing official, and being a god in Longyu is a local official.

As for why the officials of Longcheng were given deity positions, the reason was very simple: it was just to give them benefits.

The gods conferred by the Zhoutian Conferred God Book are different from the gods conferred by the Conferred God List. After they become gods, they can still practice. In other words, with the blessing of the god position, their practice speed will become faster.

In the Shinto system established by Ao Bing, the position of a god is the fruit of the Tao. If a cultivator obtains it, there will be only benefits and no harm. Not only will it not hinder his cultivation, but it can assist in his practice.

To give a simple example, when a celestial cultivator obtains the Golden Immortal status, it is equivalent to obtaining an accelerated period of cultivation, and can cultivate at the Golden Immortal realm.

When a Golden Immortal cultivates to become a Heavenly Immortal, the speed of cultivation will naturally become extremely fast, which can be described as making rapid progress every day. It won’t take long before one can reach the Golden Immortal realm.

The affairs of Renlong City are very busy. Once you become an official of Renlong City, you basically have no time to practice, which will inevitably delay your cultivation.

Therefore, Ao Bing granted the officials of Renlong City the status of gods, firstly to improve their strength and enhance their means of self-protection, and secondly to compensate them and speed up their cultivation so as not to hinder their cultivation.

At the same time, doing so is also encouraging the monks of Longzhou to become gods.

The cultivators of Longzhou are all Ao Bing's direct descendants. Compared with outsiders, Ao Bing must trust them more. Therefore, if he is right, he must hope that there will be more gods in Longzhou.

There are two major benefits for Longzhou monks to become gods. One is to enhance the strength of Longzhou, and the other is to prevent the decay of the gods and constantly inject vitality into them.

In Longzhou, it is not difficult to become an immortal. But after becoming an immortal, if you want to practice further, it will be difficult. At this time, if these immortals are allowed to become gods, they can use the god position to practice and quickly improve their realm.

And when they have broken through to a new realm and the divine position is no longer useful, they can abandon the divine position and pass it on to the next batch of immortals who need the divine position to break through.

In this way, while improving Longzhou's strength, it also gives the Shinto extremely strong fluidity, so that the situation where a god, once enthroned, remains motionless for millions of years will not occur.

Just think about it and you will understand. If you allow the gods to stay in one place without moving, even if they have no ambitions, over time, interest groups will naturally form around them, or even directly evolve into local tigers.

The way of gods established by Ao Bing, except for himself who has always been in charge of the way of gods, has to be changed every once in a while, no matter how big or small.

This is not to prevent them from becoming too powerful, but to prevent them from becoming too powerful and causing Shinto to become corrupt and decline.

……

The most precious treasure of Shinto, the Zhoutian Book of Gods, has been completed, and the positions of gods have also been derived. Next, we only need to fill the true spirit of the right person into the Book of Gods to anoint him as a god.

The right candidate already exists in Renlong City. After many years of development, what Renlong City lacks the most is talent. There are many cultivators who have made outstanding contributions to the development of Renlong City.

Even if it is just to reward them, the high-level god positions in the Zhoutian Book of Gods should be conferred upon them.
