Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1364 Phoenix Ascends to the Summit
Chixiao Palace.

All the civil and military officials of heaven and many immortals gathered together.

Some of the immortals here have been to Chixiao Palace, and some have not. Led by many immortal maidens, they visited this immortal city built on the ruins of demons.

The architectural styles of Fenghuang and Haotian are completely different. What Haotian pursues is majesty, and she must have the momentum to look down on the three realms. Her Chixiao Palace combines some functions of the Taoist Palace. In movement and stillness, it embodies confidence and calmness.

When the immortals arrived here, they couldn't help but lower their voices and slow down their pace.

A month has passed since the previous chaos. If Haotian could escape, he would have returned long ago. Now there is no news from the Lord of the Three Realms. No one can see him alive or dead. This makes many immortals shake their heads and sigh. The die is cast. We would like to continue to be loyal, but you are not here!

They took the opportunity of visiting the Chixiao Palace to secretly try to figure out the new Emperor's personality and ways of doing things.

The first topic to be discussed together is the issue of status.

Haotian is just missing at the moment, he has not fallen. He is still the master of the Three Realms, this is beyond doubt.

It was discussed before that a "Tai" should be added to Haotian's honorific title "Haotian Jinque Supreme Supreme Natural Wonderful Miro Supreme Jade Emperor", and it would eventually become "Haotian Jinque Supreme Supreme Natural Wonderful Miro Supreme Jade Emperor".

This was the result they discussed on Ziwei Star. The ministers in Heaven were unaware of it, so they had to pretend nothing had happened and go through the process again.

Haotian has the support of Daozu and has served as the Emperor of Heaven for billions of years. Even so, he rarely makes decisions on his own. The foundation on the Phoenix side is even weaker, and now he can only discuss with his ministers. If the ministers disagree, he can only find another way.

Fei Zhong stepped out of the queue without hesitation. He first praised Haotian's achievements, and finally showed his killer move, which was to change Haotian from "God" to "Taishang".

The old officials of the Heavenly Court frowned in thought. Bigan asked, "May I ask the Eastern Dipper Star Lord, Your Majesty's achievements are unquestionable. However, should we first find Your Majesty before discussing the title?"

Fei Zhong asked confidently, "Does Wenquxingjun know where Your Majesty is? Is he injured? How can we rescue him?"

Bigan shook his head: "The Star Lord asked me three times, but I don't know the answer to any of them."

Fei Zhong immediately raised his right fist, like a MAGA sign, and said in a heavy voice, "The Heavenly Court is in danger, and all of us are in dire straits. Your Majesty is away, and at this time, we should all work together."

Bigan nodded silently. What Fei Zhong said was absolutely correct nonsense, and he couldn't find any fault with it.

Fei Zhong first saluted the empty throne in the middle of the hall, and then saluted Fenghuang, the Emperor of Ziwei. Fenghuang returned the salute.

He continued, "As the saying goes, if the name is not right, then the words will not flow. At this moment, we need an important official from the Heavenly Court to step forward, unify the forces of all parties, and save the lives of the three realms."

Bigan thought about it for a while and found that there was nothing wrong with this statement. As a king's uncle who came from a slave society, his thoughts were not at the level of "parliament" and "republic", and he would not propose a ruling model in which all ministers jointly govern the three realms.

There is a king on the throne, a leader, and this is his deeply ingrained idea.

"So, the Eastern Dipper Star Lord is recommending the Purple Star Emperor to govern the Three Realms?" He asked the question on the minds of many veteran Celestial officials. The current power structure in Celestial Court was simple: beneath Haotian were the Four Imperial Guardians. Dou Mu Yuanjun, with her noble status and high rank, could theoretically manage Celestial Court, but in practice, she was unable to do so.

This is just like the fact that the numerous civil and military officials in the Heavenly Court would not nominate the Supreme Lord Lao to take charge. Is the Supreme Lord Lao's status noble? At this moment, no one is considering the Supreme Lord Lao at all, and the old man will not come all the way here to meddle in the affairs here.

What he supports is the Heavenly Court, not any particular Heavenly Emperor. He doesn't care who becomes the Heavenly Emperor, because it won't be him anyway.

Similarly, Dou Mu Yuanjun, Taiyuan Shengmu, Dongji Qinghua Emperor and others are all like this. Although they have noble status, Haotian has actually excluded them from the circle of power long ago.

Seeing that Bi Gan got straight to the point, Fei Zhong glanced at Fenghuang out of the corner of his eye, and Fenghuang nodded slightly.

He immediately became excited: "The Purple Star Emperor's holy virtue and majesty are here, and heaven and earth will respond. It is time for him to exercise authority, sweep away the evil demons in the three realms, and punish the treacherous villains in the world!"

Bigan covered his chest and felt nauseous. "You're looking for a donkey while riding one, and you're a treacherous sycophant? I think you are a treacherous sycophant!"

Bigan was King Zhou's uncle, and Fei Zhong was King Zhou's cousin. They were relatives, a relationship much closer than that between Zhuge Liang and Liu Biao.

It’s just that Bigan’s dislike for Fei Zhong is even stronger than Ding Ce’s. I was disgusted by Fei Zhong when I was still in the human world. I didn’t expect that I could still see this guy after becoming a god. Didn’t I become a god in vain?

Many of the gods present came from the Shang Dynasty court, including Bigan, Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, Mei Bo, Zhang Guifang, the four generals of the Mo family, Dou Rong, Han Rong, Yu Hualong, and Jiang Ziya. Among this large group of gods, there was no one who did not know Fei Zhong.

Seeing him jump out again to promote his new master, everyone had a strange look on their face, as if this heavenly court was not much different from the human court!
Bigan knew that he could not stop it, so he agreed in principle to give Haotian the title of emperor. His opinion represented that of many old ministers.

The title issue of the predecessor has been successfully resolved, and the next step is to select a successor. This successor has great power but a small status, and can only act on behalf of others.

Even so, there are still few candidates.

Under Haotian are the Four Emperors, as stipulated by the Heavenly Law.

The Four Emperors are the Purple Star Emperor of the North Pole, the Eternal Life Emperor of the South Pole, the Heavenly Emperor of the Upper Palace of Gou Chen, and the Earthly Emperor of Hou Tu.

Chengtianxioxie Hou Tuhuang Diji is the saintly incarnation of Pingxin Niangniang. She is just a figurehead and does not actually come to heaven at all.

The same goes for the Nanji Xianweng, who serves as the Nanji Changsheng Emperor. The old guy is now polishing the Taiyi Daoguo and preparing to break through the bottleneck of Daluo Jinxian. There is no way he can give up his retreat and come here to act as the Emperor of Heaven.

The remaining candidates are Fenghuang and Lei Zhenzi.

Deng Chanyu asked Baihe Tongzi to pass a message to Lei Zhenzi. Lei Zhenzi felt like a bug caught in a spider web. There was Yuqing on the side of Yuxu Palace, and it seemed that Yuqing was also on the side of Heaven. Deng Chanyu sent people to persuade him in the capacity of the acting leader of the Chan Sect not to compete with Fenghuang for the position of the Emperor of Heaven. What kind of the hell is this?

Lei Zhenzi did have a further idea. Unlike Wen Zhong and other immortals who were stripped of their divine positions and had their cultivation emptied, he survived and now possessed combat power comparable to that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, considering various factors, he still gave up.
