Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 306: The Ancestors of the Princes Became Gods
Because they had something on their minds, the princes went back much faster than they came here, and soon they all returned to their respective states.

Slaughter cattle and sheep, and play sacrificial music!
As soon as they returned to the vassal states, these princes did not even take a rest, but began to prepare for ancestor worship, wanting to pass on the incense and sacred ways they received from Ao Bing to their ancestors in the underground.

"What happened? Why are you suddenly offering sacrifice to us?"

As the sacrifice began, the ancestors of the princes in the pure land of the netherworld all felt something and separated a wisp of their divine consciousness, which crossed the barrier of life and death and descended to the human world.

However, after the divine consciousness came to the human world, these princes and ancestors were surprised to find that the sacrifices prepared by the princes this time were too simple, with only cattle, sheep and other livestock, and not even a single living person.

This made the ancestors of the princes very dissatisfied, and they felt that their descendants on earth were becoming less and less respectful to them.

"Why are there no survivors?"

The ancestors frowned and asked directly with dissatisfaction without being polite.

"You may not know, but as time goes by and the times change, our race is becoming stronger and stronger and no longer needs the protection of outsiders."

"Therefore, the previously popular way of living sacrifice has now become an evil way and has been abolished by order of the current Human King."

Seeing that the ancestor was angry, the princes on earth were not panicked and replied calmly.

Abolishing living sacrifices is following the right path. Unless the ancestors want to fall into evil ways, they have to endure it no matter how dissatisfied they are.

"evil ways?"

"The way of living sacrifice has been popular for millions of years, and I don't know how many powerful people have been involved. How can it be said that it can be beaten into an evil way just by saying so."

"The Human King is also confused. He actually issued such a ridiculous order. Isn't he afraid of backlash from the four directions of ghosts and gods?"

"This is an illegal order, we will not accept it!"

Upon hearing this, the lords and ancestors took a deep breath, and then refuted harshly. Abolishing living sacrifices is like asking for their lives.

The reason why these dead princes and nobles can stay in the underworld and not reincarnate is that their descendants on earth constantly sacrifice living people to maintain the operation of the pure land.

If the living sacrifice is abolished, the Pure Land will lose its source of power and will soon collapse. At that time, they will have no foundation and will sooner or later be swallowed by the cycle of reincarnation and have no choice but to reincarnate.

Since it concerns their own foundation, the ancestors of the princes are certainly unwilling to abolish living sacrifices, as this would mean they want to die.

In an instant, these princes and ancestors had already decided that if Emperor Xin really insisted on having his own way and had to abolish the practice of living sacrifice, then they would fight with Emperor Xin to see who would give up first.

"Old Ancestor, you don't know that the four ghosts and gods that have brought disaster to the Nine Provinces have all fallen into evil ways and become evil demons. Now, the saint's disciples have taken action to quell the disaster of the evil gods for the Nine Provinces."

"The abolition of living sacrifices was due to this. At the same time, because the evil god was so powerful, Lord Long was worried that we would be unable to resist the evil tide, so he specially passed down the incense and fire to help us improve our strength."

Seeing that the ancestor was as angry as they expected, these princes no longer kept the suspense and immediately told Ao Bing the conditions he had offered.

"Incense Shinto?"

"What is this? Tell me in detail!"

The lords and ancestors were very good at grasping the key points, and immediately asked for detailed information about the incense and fire way. They felt that since the incense and fire way was valued by Ao Bing as compensation for abolishing the living sacrifice, this way must be extremely extraordinary.

"The way of incense and fire, the way to become a god through incense and fire..."

The princes did not dare to hide anything and told everyone the methods of practicing the incense and fire way.

"Incense makes you a god!"

"It is beyond our expectation that the power of sentient beings' wishes can have such a miraculous effect. Perhaps this is the true meaning of humanity, to gather the power of sentient beings to become a god."

"We previously practiced the way of living sacrifices, which was inferior. Although we can make rapid progress in a short period of time, it will not last long. Sooner or later, we will be punished by humanity." The ancestors of the princes are truly dead, so after hearing about the way of incense and gods, they have more insights than the princes.

They immediately realized that the practice of living sacrifices that they had previously been practicing was indeed an evil practice compared to the practice of burning incense and offering sacrifices to gods.

Although the method of living sacrifice can make them stronger, it is not enough for them to resist the attraction of reincarnation and the rejection of the world of the living.

Or to put it more directly, the stronger they become through the practice of living sacrifice, the greater the attraction of reincarnation will be to them, and the stronger the repulsion from the world of the living will be.

They didn't understand the reason before, but now they think that this is definitely a wrong path.

Because they have embarked on the evil path and are not tolerated by heaven and earth, the world of the living will become more and more repulsive to them, and the attraction of reincarnation will become stronger and stronger for them.

This is the will of heaven and earth to destroy them.

And this is just the beginning. When it is confirmed that the reincarnation cannot devour them, what awaits them will be the most horrific punishment from heaven.

"The more you practice, the more you will be intolerable to heaven and earth. Lord Long is right. Living sacrifice is truly an evil way. Fortunately, Lord Long gave us guidance and passed down the way of incense and fire, giving us the opportunity to correct our mistakes in time."

The ancestors of the princes came to their senses and chose to practice the way of incense and burnt offerings and give up the way of living sacrifices.

Suddenly, the wishes of all living beings that had been lingering in the sky above the capital, which had accumulated for many years but had no one using them, seemed to have found a master, and they all rushed towards the ancestors of the princes in the pure land of the underworld.

For millions of years, the princes have been offering sacrifices to their ancestors without interruption, generating faith and aspirations almost every moment. It’s just that the incense and the gods have not appeared, so no one can use them.

Now, with Ao Bing passing down the way of the incense god, these incense and vows that have accumulated for millions of years have immediately come in handy and started to transform into powerful strength.

Rumble!
In the netherworld, a large amount of brilliant divine light rose up, shining like a golden sea of ​​fire, submerging all the ancestors of the princes.

This is the fire of vows and also the fire of Shinto. It uses the vows of all living beings as fuel. The brighter the divine flame, the more distracting thoughts it burns away, and the purer the incense obtained.

This is the method passed down by Ao Bing to refine the power of incense and vows!
Rumble!
The divine flame continued to rise, and a large amount of pure willpower was generated, like golden streams of light, pouring into the bodies of the ancestors of the princes, making their illusory souls more and more solid, and their momentum more and more powerful.

The next moment, the souls of these princes and ancestors also burst into golden light, as if they were coated with a layer of gold paint, shining brightly.

This is a divine body. Although it is still a soul body, it is no different from a physical body. It also has flesh and blood, and five senses and six consciousnesses.

As the divine bodies took shape, these princes and ancestors completed their transformation, from ghosts and gods to incense gods. They were no longer rejected by the world of the living and could travel freely between the two worlds of yin and yang.

However, although they are gods of incense and worship, they cannot be considered true gods because they have no authority and are considered gods of the mountains and fields.

That is, they have no organization, have not yet been officially recognized, and are not protected by heaven and earth. Even if they are killed by someone, their death is in vain, and heaven and earth will not avenge them.

It is easy to become a god of incense, as long as there is enough incense. But it is very difficult to become a true god of incense. Not only must there be enough faith, but also official canonization is required.

This official can be heaven and earth, the heavenly court, or the Shang Dynasty.

And now, they have a shortcut to becoming true gods, which is to plunder the power in the hands of ghosts and gods in all directions.

This is the divine authority of Jiuzhou. Whoever obtains it can become the true god of Jiuzhou and be worshipped by all the spirits of Jiuzhou, with endless incense burning on him.

……

"coming!"

Just when the ancestors of the princes transformed into gods of incense and fire, Ao Bing, who had already returned to Fengdu City, looked up at the six skies of Fengdu above, his eyes full of excitement.
