Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 153: Great Harmony in the World, Divinity and Humanity

Inside the hall, civil and military officials had already stood solemnly on both sides, and the air was filled with a depressing heaviness.

Li Bing looked normal and walked steadily, the sound of his footsteps being particularly clear in the silent hall.

He walked in front of the ministers, stopped, held the tablet in both hands, bowed slightly, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I, Li Bing, pay my respects to you and wish you good health."

"Get up."

The King of Qin's voice came from above, cold and distant.
"I am not worthy of your greeting now."

Li Bing straightened up with a calm look.

The King of Qin spoke slowly, with no emotion in his tone:
"I'm sure you know what happened before. Your Erlang is really a big shot. His words stirred up unrest in the world. In a blink of an eye, several of my ministers were killed and I had to send others to replace them.
This is just around me.

Li Taishi, tell me, if this happens everywhere in the world, and people in important positions die one after another, how can the world continue to function?"

His voice was calm, as if he was just stating a fact rather than making an accusation.

Li Bing was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly:
"Your Majesty, I think what you said is inappropriate."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers in the hall held their breath and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

King Qin's expression also darkened slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Li Bing's expression remained unchanged, and he continued:

"Those who were sent to reincarnation by Erlang were all evildoers who had committed serious crimes and had no intention of repenting. If we leave them alive and ignore them, it would be a real disaster."

He paused, his voice becoming more steady:
“It is true that with so many people dying suddenly, the world will inevitably fall into chaos. But even so, this chaos will never get out of control.

Because there is a god above us, Erlang's words have spread throughout the world and everyone knows it - if you have evil thoughts, you will be the next one to be sent into reincarnation.

I ask, who would dare to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos? "

His words were loud and clear, echoing in the hall, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

Upon hearing this, the King of Qin said:

"But even so, it shouldn't be so radical. Don't you think it's too much to eliminate so many people at once? Take it slow. Give everyone time to adapt. There will be less chaos."

Li Bing shook his head and said:
"This kind of reform is about cutting the Gordian knot. Shang Yang's reforms made our Great Qin so glorious today. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one."

Let’s talk about Shang Yang directly.

The King of Qin didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was silent for a long time.

Li Bing's words were impeccable.

Even if he tried to find problems, there was nothing he could do.

If you try more deliberately, it won't work.

After all, Lin Yuan's deterrence is there. Even if the King of Qin is angry for a moment, he dare not really offend Lin Yuan.

after all
That attracted immortals and gods all over the sky, and he used his own strength to intimidate them and scolded them for their inaction.

It is really too shocking.

The King of Qin still finds it difficult to accept this.

He was clearly a young man from Qin State whom I had high hopes for before.

How could a young man who was regarded as the future pillar of the Qin State suddenly become like this? !

Everything seemed like a dream.

It’s like one moment you were praising a junior for his outstanding talent and promising future, and then the next moment, that junior is standing in the sky, looking down at all living beings.

The King of Qin did so.

The same is true for Bai Qi.

He was also thinking about recruiting Lin Yuan into his personal guard after the competition was over on the 30th.

He led the troops himself and tested Lin Yuan's strength personally.

结果
No need to test now.

Lin Yuan’s true strength is already clear.

It's not something you can test on your own.

Bai Qi just felt that Lin Yuan was a guy with a bad taste.

You said you are a terrifying god who makes all the gods and immortals bow down to you, why don’t you say it earlier.

Why do you keep pretending to be a mortal?
Especially Li Bing.

He even said that his own Jilang had praised him before.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but look at Li Bing with a little more resentment.

Li Bing just met his gaze, noticed the resentment in it, and felt slightly puzzled.

And the entire court.

In this silence, a long time passed.

No one dared to say much during the conversation.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

If you speak for Li Bing, you will displease the King of Qin and you will suffer in the future.

What if Li Bing is keeping a close eye on me for speaking for the King of Qin?
The second son of the Li family is really scary.

Some people who have something to hide but no one has exposed them yet are now thinking about doing some good deeds to atone their sins as soon as possible, otherwise the people they persecuted will suddenly call out the real name of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun.

It's too late.

Although Li Bing has always been an upright person and not a petty person.

But they didn't dare to gamble.

And after a long time.

The King of Qin finally spoke, breaking the silence.

He just sighed and said:

"Forget it, forget it, Li Taishi, I know you are an upright person and cannot stand darkness.

From now on, with that person in this world, darkness will no longer be able to breed.

Mr. Li, I have discussed this with you a long time ago and I know that you have great talent and have always wanted to show your skills and make use of your knowledge instead of being confined to the city of Xianyang as a Grand Historian.

So, I will let you go to Shu and appoint you as the governor of Shu to govern Shu well, how do you think?

However, he wanted to out of sight and out of mind, so he wanted to drive Li Bing away.

But in fact, the idea of ​​letting Li Bing take up the post of governor of Shu was already in mind a long time ago, and now it was just a matter of moving this matter forward a little.

When Li Bing heard this, he had already expected such a result.

But he thought that the King of Qin would exile him to a place further away.

However, he did not expect that the King of Qin would still let him be the governor of Shu.

Although Shu was in chaos, many people saw it as a relatively closed place with frequent natural disasters and poor resources.

But anyone with a bit of vision can see that Shu is actually a very important place.

Closed.

It can be seen as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Natural disasters occur frequently, and most of them are floods.

Li Bing had already studied floods and river flows in Shu.

He felt that he could handle it perfectly and make the river flow a perfect tool for irrigating the fields.

In this way, the Shu land of the future will not only not be a chaotic place, but may also be a land of abundance with abundant grain!

He then folded his hands and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will definitely make Shu a better place so that Daqin will have no worries."

The King of Qin opened his mouth and thought to himself, in the current situation, what is the point of having any worries for the Qin Dynasty?
Your Erlang has ordered the gods in heaven to stop fighting. From now on, the chaos in various countries will probably be quelled overnight.

Shaking his head, King Qin said:

"Well, go ahead."

Above the nine heavens, the sea of ​​clouds is rolling.

Lin Yuan led a group of immortals and gods and entered the Lingxiao Palace in Heaven.

This Lingxiao Palace is majestic and magnificent, with golden and magnificent splendor, more magnificent than any building Lin Yuan has ever seen.

The space inside the hall is vast, and even with all the immortals and gods gathered together, it still seems extremely empty.

Lord Haotian stood in the temple, hesitant for a moment.

He didn't know whether he should sit on his throne as the Emperor of Heaven or stand down there with the other gods.

This embarrassing situation made him look a little uneasy.

Lin Yuan glanced at him and said calmly:
"You are the Emperor of Heaven, why don't you sit in your own seat and stand there and watch me?"

Lord Haotian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked slowly towards the throne of the Emperor of Heaven high up.

Lin Yuan rose into the air, reaching the same height as Lord Haotian, and glanced at all the immortals with a lightning-like gaze.

"I won't say any more nonsense."

Lin Yuan's voice was loud and majestic, echoing in the ears of every immortal god, making them startled and not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

"I have already briefly mentioned to you what I am going to do. Now, just follow my instructions! If you are dissatisfied, feel free to raise any issue!"

He paused and continued:

"This chaotic world should be calmed down and unified. I want to establish Qin as the new dynasty to rule the world. Who is in favor and who is against it?"

When the immortals and gods heard this, most of them looked calm, but a few looked troubled. After a moment, Lord Haotian spoke:

"The Qin laws are harsh. If the Qin were allowed to rule the world, the world might be stable, but the people would probably live in fear. Since the True Lord is only concerned about the people, how could he establish the Qin State with its strict laws as a great unified dynasty?

According to my opinion, Qi is deeply influenced by Confucianism, has been nurtured by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and emphasizes benevolence and righteousness, making it the most suitable country to rule the world. "

As soon as Lord Haotian opened his mouth, other gods who supported the various countries on earth also echoed him, and each stated the reasons why the country they supported was more suitable to rule the world.

They each insisted on their own opinions. If it weren't for Lin Yuan's intimidation, they would have been arguing like crazy in the Lingxiao Palace.

After listening to their argument, Lin Yuan looked calm and said:

"As for the system, you don't have to worry. I will introduce a new system."

After saying this, he snapped his fingers, and suddenly countless information flooded into the minds of the immortals and gods, allowing them to instantly understand the contents of this new system.

After the immortals and gods digested this information, their expressions varied. This new system was naturally introduced by Lin Yuan from the real world.

For these immortals and gods, many things seemed too advanced, but they were all quick thinkers and quickly understood the essence of it.

However, some people still stand up and question:
"I have never heard of this kind of system. It seems to come from a civilized country beyond imagination.

However, even if we promote this law, sentient beings may not accept it quickly.

Especially for the royal nobles, how could they watch their privileges being taken away? In comparison, the problem of supervision and implementation is the easiest to solve with the True Lord appearing in all directions.

Once it is fully implemented, even if someone has some ulterior motives, they won’t dare to go too far.”

Lin Yuan looked at the man and asked:

"Who is more important, the common people or the royal nobles?"

The man was startled, then replied:

"People."

Lin Yuan nodded:

"In this case, they have to accept it even if they don't want to. Allowing them to inherit the original wealth is already a kindness of mine."

At this time, an old man with a full forehead and strong body walked out of the crowd.

He is none other than the sage of Confucianism, Confucius.

Confucius said:

"Since the True Lord has such power, why not just establish a world of universal peace? Why go through so much trouble and come up with such laws?

If the world can be united, all problems will be solved."

Lin Yuan looked at him and asked:

"What is universal peace?"

Confucius said loudly:
"When the great way is practiced, the world is for all, the virtuous and capable are selected, trustworthiness and harmony are emphasized. Therefore, people not only love their own relatives and their own children, but also ensure that the elderly have a place to live, the strong have a place to work, the young have a place to grow, and the poor, the lonely, the disabled and the sick are all provided for."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said:
"It is so difficult to have such a harmonious world. It is impossible for people to be without selfish desires."

Confucius nodded:

“It is indeed impossible for people to be without selfish desires.

But as long as the way to satisfy one's own desires does not involve exploiting others, it doesn't really matter.

And with the True Lord over all living beings, who would dare to do so? In this world of great harmony, either everyone is fair, or there must be an extremely powerful person who intimidates everyone.

And now, the True Lord has already met this requirement."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment.

He originally wanted to create an ideal utopian world, but Confucius's idea seemed more idealistic than his.

After a moment, he spoke:

"With my strength, I can indeed force the world to be united. In this case, I will do as you say."

When Confucius heard this, he was overjoyed.

He was sent by Haotian to spread Confucianism in the human world, and gradually became immersed in it, sincerely longing for a world of universal peace.

However, he also knew how hard it was to find such a world.

If a person does not have selfish desires, he is no longer a person.

Therefore, if one wants to achieve world peace, the only way is to rely on an extremely powerful person to subdue all living beings and make them obedient.

Lin Yuan immediately appointed Confucius to be in charge of the matter and gave him great power. He then returned to the mortal world and prepared to retreat.

Before leaving, he said to the gods:
"I will be in seclusion for a while. After I come out, I hope you can achieve the great harmony of the world as Confucius said."

The reason why he chose to go into seclusion was to thoroughly digest the 5% of power and integrate it into his own system.

Otherwise, that overly idealistic thinking will continue to affect him and make him feel uncomfortable.

Lin Yuan is a human, not a god.

The understanding of the great Dao contained in that 5% of power is too strong. If it is not sorted out, over time, he will probably become too divine and even lose himself.

Divinity represents mercy and justice and is a symbol of perfection, but human nature is limited and flawed and has its own selfish desires.

Too much divinity can easily make people lose their emotions and become indifferent, even like the most just and righteous path.

In the world of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, the Lord Haotian still wants to maintain his humanity, so he dotes on his nephew.

And doesn’t Haotian, who has completely mastered the way of heaven, have the ability to establish a truly harmonious world?
Lin Yuan felt that he did.

It can be done by relying on the power of heaven to operate and maintain it. But Haotian did not do so, probably because he did not want the divinity to be too strong.

Because in such a world of universal peace, even if sentient beings have selfish desires, they will become perfect under the influence of the environment.

Under such circumstances, the gods in heaven will inevitably be affected.

Human desires influence the temperament of immortals and gods, and this is true in many worlds.

Lin Yuan did not promote universal peace in his own inner world, perhaps because of this consideration.

Of course, the idea that human desires influence the temperament of immortals and gods is ultimately just Lin Yuan’s guess.

Now, he was actually curious:
If a world truly achieves complete universal peace and harmony, then will the gods and immortals in this world become increasingly divine?
If so, Lin Yuan might give up promoting universal peace in his own inner world in the future.

If not, he can do it.

In fact, he would be more thorough.

After all, the idea of ​​universal peace is based on Confucius' fantasy, and the monarch's benevolent rule also exists.

The monarch represents the ruling class.

Even in such a world of peace, classes still exist.

In a true utopia, there should be no classes.

“Well, it’s actually impossible to have no class.

After all, this is not a world full of mortals, but a world where extraordinary beings and immortals exist. Mortals and immortals are destined to be incomparable. "

Therefore, perhaps universal peace is more appropriate.

It’s just that the monarch’s benevolent rule needs to be replaced by the kindness and justice of the gods.

Lin Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He arrived at Li's Mansion and was about to go into seclusion when he met Li Bing who had returned from the Qin Palace.

Li Bing was slightly startled when he saw Lin Yuan:
"Jiro, have you finished your work?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

Li Bing said:
"How is the result?"

Lin Yuan said:
"I have asked Confucius, the Confucian master, to mobilize all the immortals and gods to create a world of universal peace and harmony among the people."

"Confucius believes that the world is one"

Li Bing was slightly surprised when he heard this.

But he didn't expect that Lin Yuan would actually do this.

but.

He now has a general idea of ​​Lin Yuan's strength and what kind of status he can match.

From the terrified looks on the faces of the immortals and gods before, we can guess something.

It is normal to be able to give orders to Confucius.

Li Bing said:
"A world of peace and harmony is Erlang's ideal, but with Erlang's power, perhaps such a world can really be realized. I am looking forward to that day."

Lin Yuan said:
"Father looks a little gloomy. What happened?"

Li Bing said:

"Erlang, you don't have to call me father. I know you are just a great god who has come to me through a body and has recently awakened your wisdom. I cannot bear it if a great god like you calls me father.

As for why I am so sad."

"The King of Qin ordered me to go to Shu to serve as a county governor. When I think about leaving Xianyang City where I have lived for many years, I am naturally sad, but not gloomy."

"."

Lin Yuan listened to the distant tone in Li Bing's voice and sighed slightly.

This is probably where Li Erlang’s role ends.

Although his role-playing skills have not yet been perfected, his current identity is more like Lord Erlang Xiansheng, rather than Li Erlang.

It is no longer suitable for her to stay in the Li Mansion and follow Li Bing.

Li Bing probably wouldn't really acknowledge himself as Erlang.

And it's obvious.

Things like this.

In the future, in other worlds, there may be more and more of them.

Unless you really want to experience the fun of role-playing.

Otherwise, like in this world, after your strength increases greatly, you may suddenly get an impulse and directly shock the gods.

The process of acting is bound to come to an abrupt end.

Who can really face it with the same normal mentality when someone around them suddenly bursts out with terrifying power?

This is actually the reason why Lin Yuan is unwilling to show his full strength in front of Lao Li in reality.

Sometimes disguising yourself is not just to play the pig and eat the tiger, but also to avoid being too superior.

But he can still patiently disguise himself in reality, but when he arrives in other worlds, he seems unable to control himself sometimes.

"No, I have to think about how to satisfy my interest in acting. Otherwise, if it keeps going like this, do you really want me to act in the real world to satisfy my interest?"

He pondered to himself.

The balance between divinity and humanity ultimately needs to find a degree.

Lin Yuan didn't want to be too divine, nor did he want to be too human.

The former is the most holy and benevolent, while the latter does whatever he wants.

After a slight silence, Lin Yuan snapped his fingers and an incarnation appeared.

He said to Li Bing:
"In that case, I will send an avatar to assist you. Shu is in chaos, and it is not convenient for you to govern alone. My avatar only has the memory of the previous Li Erlang, but not the memory of the later Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun. You can completely treat it as Li Erlang."
