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

Chapter 28: Generosity and Planning for the World
Facing Lin Yuan’s question.

Wen Zhong remained silent.

He naturally knew how foolish it was for the King of Shang to proclaim himself the incarnation of Heaven. If the rulers in heaven knew anything about this, it would bring about a huge disaster.

When the King of Shang first did this, he tried his best to dissuade him, but unfortunately the King of Shang did not listen.

Since he got the Jade Tablet of Heaven, he felt that his destiny was in his own hands. He heard from somewhere that there was turmoil in the Heavenly Palace, so he came from the human world and defeated hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals by his own strength. He also made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and forced the Jade Emperor to give up his power to him.

In this situation.

King Shang felt that the current Heavenly Court might be vulnerable and unworthy of ruling the three realms.

The jade tablet he obtained was the First Heavenly Rule, which read: Respect Heaven and Earth, and do not violate Heaven's will.

Holding this jade tablet, the King of Shang felt blessed with a kind of divine power. No matter who he was facing, he seemed like the supreme emperor of heaven.

Under such divine power, ordinary people could not get close to the King of Shang's body without his permission.

Even if one has achieved success in spiritual practice and has extraordinary magical powers like Master Wen, he would still feel tremendous pressure when facing the King of Shang who is holding the Jade Tablet of Heavenly Power.

He even felt that if he attacked him, he would be killed on the spot by the will of heaven.

Such a King of Shang made even Master Wen feel a little unpredictable for a moment.

In short.

The combination of many factors made King Shang unprecedentedly arrogant, and he even wanted to imitate Lin Yuan, attack the heaven, and become the emperor who ruled the three realms.

Master Wen also knew that the King of Shang had even said in private:
"That demigod from Guanjiangkou who forced the Jade Emperor to give up his power, has the power, but he only dared to force the Jade Emperor to give up his power, and did not dare to really drive the Jade Emperor off the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. In my opinion, he is not as good as me!"

"After I have rectified the earth and gathered all the forces of the mortal world, I will attack the heavens and replace the Jade Emperor! How can such a person be qualified to rule the three realms?"

of course.

He didn't dare say these words to anyone, let alone tell Lin Yuan.

Master Wen is ultimately a loyal person at heart.

So.

Facing Lin Yuan’s question.

He remained silent for a long time, and finally knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Yuan:

"Wen Zhong came down from the mountains and served as an official in the Shang Dynasty since the time of Wen Ding. Three dynasties have passed since then. To protect the foundation of the Shang Dynasty, I have worked hard, conquered the east and the west, and stabilized Chaoge and the Shang Dynasty. The former king Di Yi trusted me and gave me the Golden Whip to beat the tyrants and treacherous ministers.

I watched over the Shang Dynasty, bit by bit, build it up. Therefore, Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to destroy the Shang Dynasty. I will protect the Shang Dynasty with my own life."

His words shocked many people around him.

Who among those who can come here doesn’t know Lin Yuan’s identity?
To a certain extent, Lin Yuan’s will is God’s will!
With just one word from him, he could mobilize millions of heavenly soldiers and generals. No one could match his power.

But Wen Zhong actually dared to openly resist his orders, which was simply going against the will of heaven!

For a moment, the atmosphere around became heavy and depressing.

On the altar, Lin Yuan held the long sword at his waist with a deep look in his eyes.

He was considering whether to kill Wen Zhong right here.

At last.

He lowered his hands and said in a deep voice:

"In that case, then you should leave. We are on different paths and cannot work together. But you must be aware of the consequences."

After all, he was not so petty, and he had long heard of Master Wen's reputation for blind loyalty, so this incident was within his expectations.

Lin Yuan glanced around again:
"Who else wants to protect the Shang Dynasty? You can all stand up now and leave with Wen Zhong. Otherwise, if I find out there are people who are betraying me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Then some more people stood up.

They were all officials in the Shang Dynasty. Lin Yuan glanced at them and said:

"You are all loyal subjects, but unfortunately you don't know the time and use your loyalty in the wrong place. Now, my will is the will of heaven! However, I am magnanimous and I don't blame you if you insist on going against heaven.

But I want you to promise one thing, that is, when the Shang Dynasty is destroyed, you will all be listed in the List of Gods, and when you are in the Heavenly Court, you must not commit any dereliction of duty!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong and the others looked at each other, then knelt down and kowtowed, saying:
"Thank you, great emperor, for your grace. If the Shang Dynasty is destroyed, we will serve as officials in heaven and will fulfill our duties to the best of our ability!"

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a auspicious cloud emerged, dragging several people away from Qingcheng Mountain.

After they left, Lin Yuan began to promote the establishment of Yuanhuang Sect.

The Yuanhuang Sect worships the Supreme Yuanhuang as its supreme master and the Three Pure Ones as its holy lords. Its first leader is Yang Jun Yang Tianyou.

The Yuanhuang Sect has the right to govern all the cultivators in the world and can manage the incense offerings in the world. Any immortal god who wants to enjoy the incense offerings must register with the Yuanhuang Sect, otherwise they will all be regarded as offering sacrifices to wild gods.

During the prosperous times, the Yuanhuang Sect hid in the mountains and forests, and did not care about the affairs of the world.

Until the time of troubled times, the Yuanhuang Sect should command the monks of the world and recommend virtuous people to become emperors on earth to help them solve the root causes of disasters and restore peace to the world.

This time.

Based on the discussion, Lin Yuan made the final decision.

The Yuanhuang Sect will nominate King Jichang of the Shang Dynasty as the king to replace the Shang Dynasty.

In this way, the Yuanhuang Sect was established and the world's plan was settled. Lin Yuan asked everyone to leave and prepare to attack Shang.

Yang Chan and Yang Jiao were temporarily left behind by Lin Yuan.

Yang Jiao showed Yao Ji, Lin Yuan and others the results of his practice over this period of time.

The axe was wielding so vigorously that it seemed as if it was going to split the Qingcheng Mountain beneath their feet into pieces.

Yang Jiao said:
"Father, mother, and second brother, I feel that I am now fully capable of being a general on the battlefield. How about letting me join the battle later?"

Lin Yuan said:
"Yes, you can just be in the army I lead then."

Yang Jiao was shocked:

"Second brother wants to join the battle personally?"

"Of course, if sentient beings do not witness my great power, how can they sincerely respect me?"

Lin Yuan said.

"But, aren't you just a Dharma body condensed from the power of incense? Even if you have the Three-pointed, Two-edged Spear, you will probably be affected by the power of those strange Heavenly Rules and Jade Tablets, right?"

Yang Jiao asked.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly:
“It doesn’t matter. When those people spread my name in the next few days, the power of incense I gain will surge unprecedentedly, and the power of this Dharma body will definitely be extraordinary by then.

That way, I can also borrow more power from my original body.

Even if some extraordinary person uses the Jade Tablet of Heavenly Rules to exert unpredictable power, I will not be afraid.

Besides
In this world, anyone who has achieved some success in spiritual practice should be aware of the real power I possess, and they would not dare to become my enemy.

What we have to face is nothing more than a Shang king who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

Yang Jiao nodded, feeling that this was indeed the truth.

Subsequently.

The family chatted for a while, and then Yang Jiao and Yang Chan returned to their respective places, leaving Lin Yuan, Yang Tianyou and Yao Ji here.
