Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 8: Longevity of the Human King
Bigan came to Longzhou for the purpose of capturing Nezha, but more importantly, he wanted to deliver the Purple Star Dragon Qi to Ao Bing.

The Ziwei Dragon Qi is a precious treasure of humanity and has the ability to break laws. Except for those with an emperor's destiny, mortals cannot see it and immortals cannot touch it.

Only those who are deeply trusted by the king, such as Bigan, a minister of the country, can carry it with them without being affected.

If it were someone else, even if he was a Taiyi Golden Immortal, carrying a wisp of Purple Dragon Qi from Chaoge to Longzhou, it would be estimated that all his cultivation would be destroyed by the Purple Dragon Qi halfway through the journey.

"When the king heard that Renlong Bo was injured by Nezha, he was extremely angry and sent me to Chentang Pass to capture Nezha and hand him over to Renlong Bo for punishment."

"At the same time, before leaving Chaoge, the king also bestowed a ray of Ziwei Dragon Qi and ordered me to pass it to Renlong Bo to help you heal your wounds."

Bigan took out a jade box, held it in both hands with a serious expression, and handed it to Ao Bing in front of him.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and truly a holy king!"

Ao Bing stood up and first pretended to bow in the direction of Chao Ge, and then took the jade box from Bigan.

"If Nezha's crime was just to hurt me, it would be simple. He would just have to pay with his life. But what about the East China Sea aquatic creatures and the countless people along the East China Sea coast?"

"As for how to punish him, let the East China Sea aquatic creatures and the people along the coast conduct a public trial. This way, Nezha will be convinced and the king's justice will be reflected."

After receiving the Purple Star Dragon Qi, Ao Bing did not refine it immediately, but talked about Nezha.

He knew that Nezha was the key to Taiyi Zhenren's tribulation, and Taiyi Zhenren would not let him get into trouble. Even if he died, he would be resurrected.

If you can't kill him, can't you destroy him?

From the beginning, Ao Bing had no intention of killing Nezha. His purpose was very simple, which was to destroy Nezha. And letting the East China Sea aquatic creatures and the people along the coast publicly try Nezha was the first step to destroy him.

After the public trial, Nezha's reputation was ruined. Even if he was included in the Conferred God List, he would not be a legitimate god, but only an evil god.

At the same time, even if Nezha, whose reputation had become bad, fled to the Zhou Kingdom, he would never be reused. I have never heard of a wise ruler reused a wicked person.

Whether it was King Wen or King Wu, if they did not want to be called a tyrant by future generations, they could not use Nezha, who had a bad reputation. If he could not be used, he would not get a good position in the list of gods in the future.

This is Ao Bing's revenge. Killing Nezha can only bring him temporary pleasure, but destroying Nezha can make him happy for a long time.

This plan looked vicious, but in fact Ao Bing was too kind-hearted. If he was cruel enough, he could just use revenge as an excuse to make the fishermen along the East China Sea unable to catch fish and really starve a group of people to death.

At that time, with karma coming upon him, Nezha was truly ruined and would never be able to turn things around.

"Just do as Long Bo said."

Ao Bing's plan was something that a man as intelligent as Bigan would have seen through. But he did not refuse, but instead cooperated with them.

Because he saw that Ao Bing showed mercy. Otherwise, why would he bother to publicly try Nezha? He could just starve a bunch of fishermen to death.

Ao Bing was kind-hearted and unwilling to sacrifice innocent people, so Bigan was naturally happy to cooperate with him.

"You have heard it, you evil creature. Don't say we wronged you. The day of your public trial will be the day of your death."

Order someone to bring Nezha here, Bigan said.

"I am Lingzhuzi, a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren in Jinguang Cave at Qianyuan Mountain. Now that Chengtang's fate has come to an end, I follow the decree of Yuxu Palace and transform Li Jing of Chentang Pass into my son, looking for a wise master to assist him."

"I was just bathing in Jiuhe Bay, and you spoke harshly to me, which caused your impatience to damage your body. For such a small matter, you and your son sued me to the Heavenly Court and the Great Shang, causing so much trouble."

"According to what my master said, you and your son are really idiots. They deserve to be beaten to death."

Even though he was imprisoned, Nezha did not take it seriously. When he saw Ao Bing, he still cursed him arrogantly.

"presumptuous!"

Before Ao Bing could get angry, Bigan had already exploded. It was all because of Nezha's words that Cheng Tang's luck had run out. In front of him, the second prime minister of the Shang Dynasty, Nezha said that the Shang Dynasty was about to fall. Nezha really wanted to die.

Now it’s hard for him to survive.

"I don't think we need to hold a public trial. We can just cut off his head and hang it on the flagpole. Let him stare with wide eyes and see the fate of our Shang Dynasty."

Bigan drew his sword and was about to chop Nezha. Seeing this, Ao Bing stepped forward and advised: "Prime Minister, calm down. Nezha is the disciple of the saint. This matter is serious. You should report it to the king first."

The specific mention of Nezha's identity was meant to hint to Bigan that Nezha was just a child and could never say that Cheng Tang's fate was over. It was obvious that someone taught him, but who was that person? "What kind of disciple of a saint could teach such a cruel disciple? It is obvious that his master is not a good person either. He is definitely not a disciple of a saint, but a fake villain who came from nowhere."

Ao Bing persuaded Bigan to calm down and temporarily let Nezha go. But he also said that Nezha's master, Taiyi Zhenren, must be a fake and could never be a disciple of a saint.

Ao Bing didn't show any emotion on his face, but he was actually smiling in his heart. This was also the result he wanted, to ruin the reputation of Taiyi Zhenren.

Reputation is important in any era. Reputation is linked to luck. If reputation is damaged, luck will inevitably be damaged.

If Taiyi Zhenren's reputation is ruined, he will still want to help Zhou destroy Shang in the future. Don't be kidding, even if he wanted to help, King Wen did not dare to accept it.

On the contrary, he had to take the initiative to distance himself from Taiyi Zhenren so as to avoid his reputation being affected by him.

Taiyi Zhenren has a strong background and great strength. With Ao Bing's current strength, if he wants to take revenge on him, the only thing he can do is to ruin his reputation.

Besides, Ao Bing cannot do this kind of thing alone, he needs to find someone with influence to do it.

For example, Bigan, a famous upright minister, said that Taiyi Zhenren was not good enough, and that was it. Even if Taiyi Zhenren came out to defend him, no one would believe him.

As for revenge, doesn't this indirectly prove that Bi Gan was right? I'm afraid he will never be able to clear his name in the future.

This is what happened when Bigan said that Taiyi Zhenren was not good. But if it was Ao Bing, Taiyi Zhenren could easily whitewash him because of his lack of prestige, or even bite him back.

"Take Nezha away and make public his deeds. Let the people and the aquatic creatures nearby come and judge his crime."

He waved his hand and asked someone to take Nezha away. Bigan sat where he was, frowning as he thought about what Nezha had just said.

As the saying goes, there is no wind without waves. Even the words that Cheng Tang’s luck had run out were said to have come out, which shows that there were indeed people secretly preparing to do harm to the Shang Dynasty.

Thinking about the current situation of the Shang Dynasty, the princes are constantly rebelling, it is really a turbulent time.

"As the saying goes, man can conquer nature. As long as we work together, even the biggest difficulties can be easily overcome."

Seeing Bigan like this, Ao Bing couldn't help but say. He did know something about the truth of the Conferred God Tribulation, but it was a matter for cultivators and it was not easy to tell it to mortals.

Only Nezha has a powerful background that he dares to shout about such things. If someone else tried, they would not know how they died.

"That's right, I'm worrying too much."

After hearing this, Bigan's expression became much more relieved.

Yes, although the Shang Dynasty is now on the decline, it is not short of civil officials and brave generals. Just as Ao Bing said, as long as everyone works together, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome and no chaos that cannot be resolved.

In fact, Ao Bing was somewhat unsure about the current situation of Da Shang.

Anyone who has read The Investiture of the Gods knows that the Investiture of the Gods begins with burning incense at the Nuwa Temple. But in the final analysis, The Investiture of the Gods is just a novel and can only be used as a reference, not as a basis.

For example, Nezha had caused trouble in the sea, but the incident of burning incense at the Nuwa Temple had not yet happened, Jizhou Hou Su Hu had not rebelled against the Shang Dynasty, and there was no Daji in the Shang king's harem.

Also, in the novel, the Shang king was a mortal with a life span of no more than a hundred years. But in reality, the Shang king was a human king, the shortest lived for ten thousand years, and the longest lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

It has been a million years since Cheng Tang's revolution, replacing the Xia Dynasty with the Shang Dynasty, not just a few hundred years. This shows that the novel cannot be trusted, and the records in it are very different from the facts.

But if you think about it, this is normal.

After all, this is a primitive world. If the king who rules the world can only live for a hundred years, it would be too ridiculous and many things would not make sense.

The Longhan catastrophe lasted for millions of years, and the Lich catastrophe also lasted for millions of years. It doesn't make sense that the Conferred God catastrophe would end in just a few decades.

Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, this is barely logical.

Reality is different from the novel, with more details and a longer time span. Even if Ao Bing has the memories of later generations, he must be extremely careful to avoid a disaster.

……

Time flies and ten days have passed.

After ten days of fermentation, Nezha's notoriety spread more and more widely, even to Qianyuan Mountain millions of miles away.
