Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Fearing that the Heavenly Dao might agree to the Western Saints' request to spread the Dao in the Star Realm, Ao Bing didn't give the Heavenly Dao a chance to speak and preemptively sealed the deal.

He wasn't wrong; the Heavenly Dao indeed couldn't control the Star Realm. Because the Heavenly Dao didn't contribute much to the reshaping of the starry sky, the main role still depended on Ao Bing.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, the two Western Saints were dumbfounded.

They certainly understood Ao Bing's meaning. The Western Sect could easily spread its teachings in the Star Realm like the Immortal Path, but only if they were given enough benefits.

If we don't give him enough benefits, why would he allow the Western religion to come to the Star Realm to spread its teachings?
This might sound a bit mercenary, but that's the reality. Just like when the primordial world was still intact, if the Western Sect wanted to go to the Shang Dynasty to spread their teachings, they not only had to agree to the conditions of the Three Pure Ones, but also had to give Emperor Xin a lot of benefits.

Otherwise, without Emperor Xin's approval, even if the Three Pure Ones agreed to let the Western religion spread in the Shang Dynasty, it would be useless and it simply wouldn't be able to continue.

The current situation is simply that the Shang Dynasty has been replaced by the Star Realm, and Emperor Xin has been replaced by Ao Bing; the core essence remains unchanged.

If we had to point out a difference, it would be that the Star Realm was more important than the Great Shang Dynasty, and Ao Bing was more powerful than Di Xin.

The problem is that while the two Western Saints understand Ao Bing's thoughts, they cannot offer him enough benefits to entice him.

Because Ao Bing lacks nothing, or rather, what Ao Bing lacks, the two Western Saints cannot provide.

Ao Bing is not Di Xin. Di Xin still had the threat of Yuanshi Tianzun, so in order to counterbalance Yuanshi Tianzun, he did not hesitate to invite the two Western sages to come and spread the Tao.

But Ao Bing is different. While Yuanshi Tianzun is indeed a threat to him, he is not so great that he needs to win over the two Western Saints to counterbalance him. Moreover, compared to Yuanshi Tianzun, the two Western Saints pose a greater threat to Ao Bing.

After the two Western Saints broke away from the Xuanmen sect and established their own sect, they became Ao Bing's primary enemies.

As a supreme immortal, it's utterly unreasonable that he not only doesn't target those who betray their sect, but instead tries to win them over to join forces against his own saint.

Therefore, it's impossible for Ao Bing to be forced by circumstances to actively win over the two Western Saints. If the two Western Saints want to spread their teachings in the Star Realm, they must offer tangible benefits.

Moreover, this benefit must not only satisfy Ao Bing, but also most of the great supernatural beings in the Xuanmen sect. Otherwise, if more than half of the great supernatural beings in the Xuanmen sect are not satisfied, then even if Ao Bing agrees, it will be useless.

With them working together, they could completely ruin things.

"Hey……"

The two Western Saints thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh, unable to utter any promises.

It's pointless; they genuinely can't think of anything they could offer Ao Bing that could sway him. Promising Ao Bing to enter the Western Realm to spread the Dao? Is this some kind of joke?

Not to mention the value of the Western Realm, which is completely incomparable to the Star Realm. Just imagine if Ao Bing really wanted to enter the Western Realm to spread his teachings, the two Western Saints wouldn't be able to stop him, and they wouldn't even dare to.

Because the Primordial Ancestral Vein is connected to the Western Great Realm, if they dare to refuse Ao Bing entry, Ao Bing can sever the connection between the Primordial Ancestral Vein and the Western Great Realm at any time.

If the connection between the Four Realms and the Primordial Ancestral Vein is completely severed, then Ao Bing can cut it off as he pleases without any impact.

However, if only the connection between the Western Great Realm and the Primordial Ancestral Vein is severed, the two Western Saints will not be able to sit still.

The blessing of ancestral lineage is present in the other three great realms, but not in the Western Great Realm. Doesn't this mean that the development of the Western Great Realm is lagging behind the other three great realms?
But if one step slows down, everything else will follow. Once this initial slowdown occurs, catching up will be extremely difficult, and the Western Great Realm will inevitably fall to the bottom of the four great realms, or even be surpassed by the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Such a thing is something even the two Western Saints wouldn't want to think about, let alone let it actually happen.

Therefore, in front of Ao Bing, the two Western Saints were completely at a disadvantage. Ao Bing could only threaten them, and they had no room to speak to him.

In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of building the Great Primordial World, Ao Bing might not have been willing to connect the Western Great Realm with the Primordial Ancestral Vein.

As a supreme immortal, it is perfectly reasonable for Ao Bing to suppress the Western Great Realm. The gods of the prehistoric world not only cannot say that he is wrong, but should also praise him, otherwise they would be making enemies of the immortal path.

Therefore, if Ao Bing really didn't want the ancestral veins of the prehistoric world to be connected with the Western Great Realm, then no one could find fault with him.

However, he did not do that. Instead, he prioritized the overall situation and took the initiative to establish a connection between the ancestral veins of the prehistoric world and the western realm in order to promote the unification of the prehistoric world.

This action fully demonstrates Ao Bing's strategic vision and preemptively thwarts any suggestion that the two Western Saints prioritized the greater good.

Ao Bing has already made concessions; it would be inappropriate to ask him to prioritize the greater good and continue making concessions. Even if Ao Bing agreed, the powerful figures of the Immortal Path would not.

……

If they couldn't think of any good enough to sway Ao Bing, then the Western Sect's mission to spread its teachings to the Star Realm would naturally not go as planned.

Thinking of this, how could the two Western Saints not sigh? Fortunately, they did not come away empty-handed; at least the Heavenly Dao agreed to let them go to the endless world to spread the Dao, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

If this hadn't happened, then Western religion would truly be finished, inevitably falling behind the times and dropping out of the ranks of top powers.

“Fellow Daoists, please don’t be in a hurry. The Human Dragon may forbid you from spreading your teachings, but I will. This Star Boundary is not something he can decide alone.”

"My brother, sister-in-law, and I still have a certain say in the world of stars."

Just as the two Western Saints were losing hope, the voice of the Eastern Emperor came from afar, bringing them new hope.

Yes!

Although Ao Bing is currently the most respected figure in the Starry Sky, it doesn't mean that others have no say at all.

At least, the former overlords of the starry sky, the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, as well as the goddess of the moon Xi He, still have a certain influence on the starry sky, just not as much as Ao Bing.

But even a small amount of influence is still influence, enough to allow Western religions to enter the astral realm and spread their teachings.

Upon realizing this, the two Western Saints were overjoyed and immediately transmitted their voices to the Eastern Emperor, saying, "Fellow Daoist, is what you say true? Are you willing to let our Western Sect enter the Star Realm to spread your teachings?"

The two Western Saints were incredibly excited. Even though they knew that doing so would offend Ao Bing, they still chose to do it anyway.

There's no way around it; they're making it sound like they won't offend Ao Bing if they don't cooperate with Donghuang.

For them, no matter what they did, they wouldn't be able to gain any benefit from Ao Bing, so it didn't matter whether they offended him or not. Because even if the outcome was bad, it couldn't be too bad.

Otherwise, they couldn't possibly refuse the goodwill of Donghuang, who could bring them benefits, just because Ao Bing couldn't bring them any.

"Taiyi!" Ao Bing was furious when the Eastern Emperor suddenly stood up and undermined him, thinking he had the two Western Saints under his control.

It's Donghuang again. He was the one who took advantage of his unpreparedness to invade the void world and forcibly establish the demon realm. Now, he's the one undermining him and promising the Western Sect entry into the star realm to spread their teachings.

This fellow is truly despicable. If he could kill him, Ao Bing would love to refine him right now.

Yes, even though Ao Bing's current strength surpasses that of Donghuang, he still lacks the ability to kill him.

This is mainly due to the Chaos Bell. The Chaos Bell is not just a primordial treasure, but also a primordial treasure of merit.

Although it only has two extra words, it makes its power surpass that of a Primordial Treasure by one level, reaching another level, namely the realm of Creation Treasures.

Even among the treasures of creation, the power of the Heaven-Opening Treasure is second to none.

Because the merit they carry is not the merit of Heaven, but the merit of the Great Dao. Heaven may have flaws, but the Great Dao is without flaws.

Therefore, the merit bestowed by the Great Dao is an eternal power. The supreme treasures created at the beginning of time, blessed by it, all possess eternal characteristics.

This is why they possess power far exceeding that of other innate treasures, and even many creation treasures, at the level of innate treasures.

To put it simply, having a supreme treasure from the beginning of creation, while not enough to kill enemies across realms, allows one to survive against enemies at a higher level.

The Lich Wars of that year were incredibly devastating, with countless powerful beings perishing, yet only Taiyi has been resurrected so far.

What solution?

It's all thanks to the protection of the Chaos Bell!
Of the powerful figures who participated in the Lich War back then, only Taiyi had the protection of a supreme treasure from the creation of the world.

So, everyone else died and hasn't been resurrected yet. Only he died not long ago, but he quietly resurrected and has been secretly cultivating in the shadows.

The power of the Primordial Treasure is self-evident. Taiyi had the Chaos Bell in his possession, and Ao Bing had no ability to shatter the Primordial Treasure, so naturally they couldn't do anything to him.

Originally, Ao Bing also possessed a creation treasure, the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus, but unfortunately, he destroyed it in order to create the Lesser Primordial World.

Although it can be restored, it is not something that can be done in a short time; it will take at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years.

However, despite taking the longest time, it wasn't without good news. Because of its participation in the creation of the Lesser Primordial World, the reborn Creation Lotus will undoubtedly become even more powerful, advancing from a Primordial Treasure of Innate Merit to an even stronger Creation Treasure of Merit.

Once it is reborn, even the Chaos Bell will be unable to escape its suppression. At that time, Ao Bing will be able to deal with the Eastern Emperor.

So let him live for a while longer, and after the Creation Lotus is reborn, we will settle all the karma with him.

However, due to the existence of the Chaos Bell, Ao Bing was temporarily unable to do anything to Donghuang, but being unable to do anything to Donghuang did not mean that he could not do anything to the demon race and the Western Sect.

Therefore, Ao Ming thought for a moment and decided to teach the Eastern Emperor and the two Western Saints a lesson, so they would know what would happen if they rashly went to the Star Realm to spread their teachings without his approval.

"Taiyi, do you think that just because the demon race shattered the primordial world, the demon race is alright?"

"Let me tell you, that's impossible. Your demon race has committed far too many crimes. Shattering the primordial world is just one of them. Even without this, your demon race would still be hated by everyone."

"In ancient times, your demon race, for the sake of your own selfish interests, forcibly intercepted the starlight of the heavens, so that the starlight that should have nourished all the races of the primordial world was used to develop the demon race."

"Such selfish and self-serving acts will remain unforgettable for future generations, even after billions of years."

"Your demon race will inevitably pay the price for this, repaying the losses of all races with your flesh and blood and your lives."

"From now on, demons are monsters, and monsters are demons. When demons and monsters merge, they will become a great scourge to the primordial world, and everyone has the right to kill them."

Staring at Donghuang, Ao Bing coldly ordered that the demon race be demoted to the demonic path, making them, like the demonic path, objects of everyone's hatred and killing.

Moreover, Ao Bing's words were not simply meant to intimidate Donghuang, but rather to state a truth, a truth that all living beings in the primordial world must abide by.

Given Ao Bing's current status, his orders can be inscribed on the very origin of heaven and earth, making them the universal rules of the primordial world, truths that everyone must abide by.

Therefore, as soon as Ao Bing finished speaking, the prehistoric world immediately changed, and a new rule for slaying demons was added.

From then on, anyone who performed the act of slaying demons and eliminating evil would receive merit.

Why is Ao Bing's order considered the truth? This is why even Heaven acknowledges it and bestows merit upon it. What else could it be but the truth?
Bestowing merit is tantamount to Heaven encouraging everyone to do the same. What else, besides the truth, deserves such treatment?
It should be understood that in the ancient primordial world, although everyone hated the demonic path, unless the demonic cultivator had committed a grave mistake, killing them would not only bring no merit, but would also create karma.

But now, with Ao Bing issuing the order, regardless of whether they are good or bad, as long as they have entered the demonic path or are members of the demon race, killing them will bring merit, and there is no wrongdoing at all.

Logically speaking, such an unfair order should not be supported by the Heavenly Dao. But there are always exceptions. As Ao Bing said, the demon race has original sin.

Even though the great sin of shattering the primordial world is gone, the great sin of intercepting the starlight and harming the interests of heaven, earth and all races cannot be washed away; it remains their original sin.

Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for all races to attack the demon race; this is to collect a debt, and it is an inevitable part of the cycle of karma. Only if the Heavenly Dao does not support this would it violate the principle of fairness.

As for what happened, the mistakes made by the ancient demon race have nothing to do with the current demon race. The suffering of the ancient myriad races also has nothing to do with the current myriad races.

That's complete nonsense. What is original sin? It's the sin we're born with; we're born with sin.

The demon race is like this; their ancestors committed such grave sins that they were born sinful. That sinful bloodline flows within them, and only death can erase it.

The bloodline of the demon race is powerful; it can inherit not only the Taoist arts and supernatural powers of its ancestors, but also their cultivation.

But how did their ancestors acquire their cultivation? By plundering all races. Therefore, the bloodline of the demon race is sinful; they are born with original sin.

Since one inherits the power passed down from one's ancestors through blood, one must also inherit the evil that comes with it. There is no such thing as wanting the benefits without bearing the responsibilities.

Unless they sever their bloodline and cut off all ties with the demon race, the demon race is born with original sin, and all races have the right to kill them.

As descendants of our ancestors, the myriad races of today have inherited everything from them and therefore have an obligation to avenge them.

The long time span is not a problem at all. The theory of great revenge has always existed; it can be repeated nine times, a hundred times, or even ten thousand times. (End of Chapter)
