Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1574 Who will be the God of Wealth?
Tongming Hall.

"My dear ministers, we should select a new God of Wealth as soon as possible, otherwise all subsequent affairs will not be able to proceed." Fenghuang summoned several important ministers to the hall for discussion.

What were they discussing? They were discussing the God of Wealth, a position that had been vacant for far too long.

Initially, Ran Deng was the God of Wealth. After Ran Deng ran away, Haotian asked Bigan, the God of Fortune, to manage the finances of Heaven part-time. After Fenghuang came to power, he took back most of the financial power and handed it over to Fei Zhong. Haotian's "restoration" was too short, and he had no time to sort out the financial affairs.

The truth is, such perfunctory treatment won't work. What does the old saying say? I scoff at feudal superstitions and kneel before the God of Wealth.

Not to mention the issue of a large amount of incense being wasted, even sentient beings in the three realms have great expectations for the God of Wealth. If you tell them now that there is no God of Wealth in our land of Gadar, will they go to the Western Paradise to burn incense and worship Buddha?

It is very inconvenient to not have a dedicated God of Wealth.

During the period of Haotian's "restoration", it was deliberately delayed in order to hinder him. Now that Haotian is no longer a threat, it is natural to straighten out the structure of Tianting. A company of a certain size would be irregular if it does not have a CFO.

Fenghuang didn't have a clear candidate in mind. If the accounts were in a mess, then it would be okay to let Lao Zhao come over as a mascot and let his subordinates handle all the matters. But now the accounts were "clear", and if Lao Zhao, the confused guy, was allowed to come over, the accounts would become a mess again in less than a hundred years.

"You are all important officials in the Heavenly Court. Does anyone have any candidates to recommend?" Phoenix asked the officials.

Nanji Xianweng, Lei Zhenzi, Bigan, Taibai Jinxing, Li Jing, Zhang Guifang and Fei Zhong were all in the hall.

Among the seven important ministers, three seats were occupied by Fenghuang's confidants, Taibai Jinxing was neutral and closer to Fenghuang, Bigan was completely neutral, and Nanji and Lei Zhenzi were considered to be in opposition.

None of Fenghuang's confidants said anything. Lei Zhenzi thought for a moment and said, "In the past, there was a wise minister in the Han Kingdom named San Yisheng. I heard that he is now an official in the underworld. Perhaps he can be summoned to heaven to serve as the God of Wealth."

Among the Four Emperors, the Phoenix has firmly occupied the central position. Unless Hongjun speaks, no one can shake her position.

Everything that rises must fall, this is an iron law, but she is far from reaching the point of "rise" now. Keeping two opposition parties is also to hold herself back to a certain extent, to prevent the water from overflowing when it is full and the moon from waning when it is full.

Chengtian Xiexi Hou Tu Huang Diji is the saintly incarnation of Pingxin Niangniang, and he doesn't play in the heaven at all.

No matter what, the Immortal of the South Pole is still the eldest disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun and has his own network of contacts in the prehistoric world.

Among the Four Emperors, Lei Zhenzi, the God of Gou Chen, is the weakest. He has a low seniority, weak cultivation, and few connections. He now only wants to manage his own piece of land.

He did not want to confront Fenghuang, so he recommended a former minister of the Han Dynasty, which had a strong implication of making friends.

Fenghuang nodded slightly, accepting his kindness. However, San Yisheng and Nangong Shi were both officials under Daji, and she didn't want to undermine her family unless it was absolutely necessary. (Chapter 1180)
Taibai Jinxing thought for a moment and said, "There is a wandering immortal in the prehistoric world named Zhong Huangzi. He has a good cultivation and a great reputation. Perhaps he can be summoned to heaven to serve as an official."

The phoenix nodded again. Zhong Huangzi transformed from the so-called stomach of Pangu. He had a good background and was now at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. He was a good candidate.

Bigan said, "Why not pardon Wen Zhong and let him return to the court to serve as the God of Wealth?"

Fei Zhong immediately shook his head: "Changing orders every day will damage the dignity of the Heavenly Court and the prestige of Your Majesty."

Bigan looked at his relative in the mortal world and felt disgusted and angry. He just kept silent.

Fenghuang hadn't discussed this privately. To her, all the civil and military officials in the Heavenly Court were her subjects, and anyone could be the God of Wealth. Li Jing recommended the Lingbao Master of the Xianjiao Sect.

Master Lingbao had a close relationship with his former cheap master, Master Du'e. Li Jing had great respect for this senior and knew that he had no ambitions. Recommending an immortal from the Chan sect would not arouse opposition from Nan Ji and Lei Zhenzi, so the chances of approval were relatively high.

Zhang Guifang had been leading the troops in battle and never spoke about political affairs, so he remained silent at this time.

Nanji Xianweng saw that they had said everything, coughed, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhonghuangzi and Junior Brother Lingbao are both outstanding talents in the ancient world. It would be a bit of a waste for them to serve as the God of Wealth. Perhaps we can choose one from among the mortals?"

Phoenix was somewhat curious and asked, "Who is the Emperor going to recommend?"

Nan Ji said: "King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, who once briefly served as the common ruler of the world."

Phoenix: “.”

How do you remember this person who has been dead for hundreds of years?

She looked down to the lower world, and in just two breaths, she reviewed Ji Fa's experiences over the past two hundred years after the Battle of the Gods.

Ji Fa felt that he had committed serious sins and had been unwilling to reincarnate. His father Ji Chang was very worried about this. King Wen of Zhou used a lot of relationships, connections and favors, and even begged Deng Jiugong to help Ji Fa get a "station" in Huoyun Cave. Now Ji Fa is worshipped by the human race and is regarded as a terrestrial immortal in the usual sense.

Phoenix asked Nanji: "What was the reason why the Emperor chose Jifa?"

Nanji Xianweng said with certainty: "Ji Fa has little luck."

Ji Fa, who was once the common ruler of the world, ended up dying a violent death. He truly deserves the description of being unlucky.

Having little fortune is an important condition for becoming the God of Wealth.

The so-called losing money to avoid disasters, wealth and disasters are often linked together. Wealth is definitely not a blessing, at least not in the prehistoric system.

Money flows like water. If you act as the God of Wealth, you will unknowingly reduce your fortune. This is why Phoenix is ​​reluctant to let Lao Zhao wade into this muddy water. Lao Zhao's fortune is not deep to begin with, and you still want to cheat him? I can't bear it.

What's more, for Lao Zhao, his sister is the most important thing in the world, no doubt about it. Unless Tongtian Patriarch gives the order personally, at the moment when Yunxiao is beheading the corpse, he will not come even if he is asked to be the Lord of the Three Realms, let alone the God of Wealth.

The method of the Immortal of the South Pole is to recommend a person with little luck to be the God of Wealth, a pure consumable. When he is no longer competent, we will just replace him. Immortals are hard to find, but mortals are everywhere.

Phoenix glanced at the expressions of the immortals. Li Jing, Zhang Guifang, and Fei Zhong were all right. You are the overlord of Zhou State and have no right to control our Han State. We are not familiar with you at all.

Bigan and Taibai Jinxing were also indifferent. Lei Zhenzi was a little conflicted. Bo Yikao was different from Ji Fa. Bo Yikao's most honorable status was that of a crown prince, not a monarch. Ji Fa was a real monarch. Lei Zhenzi had been a minister of Ji Fa. He would be embarrassed that his former master now came to heaven to serve as an official.

But he didn't say anything, as long as you are happy.
