Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 85: Heaven-sent Merit, Holy Merit Artifact

The merit bestowed upon Chaoge instantly attracted the attention of all parties in the prehistoric world, and these saints were all stunned.

Watching the merits fall on a Jiazi flag, at this moment, the origin of heaven and earth was also attracted by this flag.

The two chaotic divine characters of Jiazi shine brightly under the golden light of merit.

Today, the human race is composed of words and cannot bear the higher avenues.

Cangjie created characters, which gave rise to human writing. However, the characters created by Cangjie were created when the entire human race had completely declined in spiritual practice.

When all humans were mortals or had low-level cultivation, they were unable to comprehend the Chaos Divine Script, so the only option was to create characters.

Just like when the three tribes withdrew from the primitive times, why did the acquired tribes have no cultivation heritage and no writing?

It is precisely because the acquired demon race is unable to comprehend and understand the Chaos Divine Text that Kunpeng created the demon text.

Whether it is the demonic writing or the human writing, in fact, it is a kind of writing that is lower than the chaotic divine writing, and can also be understood as the writing after the civilization is downgraded.

The ancient human race directly read the Chaos Divine Scripture and did not need to create characters.

At this time, Yin Ziyu's sixty years contained magnificent mysteries of the way of heaven, which could not be contained in human characters.

In this case, it is written in the Chaos Divine Script.

Looking at the merits and virtues beginning to condense on the Zhaixing Tower, all the immortals in Chaoge were stunned.

At this moment, on the top of the Zhaixing Tower, thousands of golden lights broke through the clouds, just like the first light of chaos when the world was created.

The cloud of merit is already gathering, waiting for Yin Ziyu to sacrifice the sixty flags and bestow merit.

The gathering of golden clouds of merit and virtue coated the entire building in a glazed color.

Immortals and monks inside and outside Chaoge City stopped and stared at the expanding cloud of merit in the sky in amazement.

“Is this merit?”

A casual cultivator pointed to the sky, trembling, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, his face filled with shock: "Since the ancient Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, no one has been able to obtain this kind of merit from heaven and earth!"

At this time, the immortals who stayed in Chaoge to build the Zhaixing Tower were exclaiming and discussing one after another.

"Those who previously called the High Priest a treacherous villain should shut up now! How could someone blessed with the virtues of Heaven be considered a treacherous villain?"

"If the High Priest hadn't gathered his luck in the Star-Picking Tower, and now used sixty years of his life to reverse the tide of the world, Cheng Tang's luck would have long since dissipated like sand!"

As soon as these words were spoken, voices of agreement rang out all around.

"Do you know?"

At this time, an old man in a crane cloak stroked his beard and spoke, his eyes full of admiration.

"The Ten Heavenly Stems represent the accumulated wisdom of successive emperors, including Emperor Cheng Tang. Pan Geng, Wu Ding, Di Yi, and Di Xin, many emperors, took their names from this, and it became a common practice. Now, the high priest has integrated them with the Twelve Earthly Branches, completing the feat of sixty Jiazi. It's like stringing scattered pearls into a crown. Only a great sage could accomplish this! Those who are not direct descendants of Emperor Cheng Tang cannot understand his principles!"

"Not bad!"

"The High Priest's actions are comparable to those of Emperor Fuxi! Back then, the Emperor created the Eight Trigrams and defined Yin and Yang, and today the High Priest deduced the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Both have made unprecedented contributions to our human race!"

At this time, Yin Ziyu and Luo Shen were standing side by side on the top of the Zhaixing Tower. The yin and yang energies flowing around their bodies were intertwined with the golden light of merit, turning into a huge time and space five elements diagram, which was slowly rotating.

At this time, a woman sighed: "I really don't know what great truth is contained in these sixty Jiazi years!"

"Look!"

"The great principles contained in these sixty Jiazi years clarify the yin and yang and the five elements of the ancient world. I'm afraid they are not inferior to the Eight Trigrams!"

Discussions suddenly broke out among the crowd. Some people took out jade slips to record the runes in the sky, while others closed their eyes and pondered, trying to glimpse the mystery.

"No wonder Fuxi's daughter Luoshen is here to help."

"It seems that although the Emperor has ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave, he has never forgotten the human race. The High Priest was able to accomplish such a great deed with the help of this!"

Yin Ziyu's action this time was the biggest blow to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Ji Chang was a chess piece that Yuanshi Tianzun had arranged for a long time. He even taught him the sixty-four hexagrams. Such merit could have been enjoyed by his disciples, but it was given to Ji Chang.

This is the most important link for the future deification.

But at this moment, facing Yin Zi's actions, Yuanshi Tianzun's plan was instantly weakened.

Looking at the good fortune gathering in Chaoge, Yuanshi Tianzun's face looked very ugly. Even a saint could not maintain such a calm demeanor.

Because Yin Ziyu's plan almost ruined his own plan to become a god.

"Master! Something terrible is happening!"

At this time, the Immortal of the South Pole, who was originally responsible for Ji Chang's performance of the sixty-four hexagrams, hurried in.

The Immortal of the South Pole naturally knew what it meant for Yin Ziyu to be the first to obtain the merit of the Heavenly Dao.

"Master, since Bigan was the first to achieve sagehood, even if Jichang achieved it, it would have taken him much longer. And since Bigan won over the people with the Star-Picking Tower incident, his reputation is even higher than Jichang's. What should we do?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's sagely aura was a bit chaotic at this moment. "Could it be that Tongtian was plotting this? He actually let this brat, Bigan, ruin my grand plan! He wanted to take advantage of the unpredictable secrets of the heavens during the catastrophe and use the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to reshape Chaoge's fortune. Does he really think he can defy fate?"

"Hmph, Tongtian, you are so unwilling to give up the destiny of the human race. If that's the case, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Yuanshi Tianzun also saw that the Golden Spirit Mother was in Chaoge and had entered the realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

In an instant, Yuanshi Tianzun suspected Tongtian.

How could the Golden Spirit Mother have hidden the fact that she had come into the world and stayed with Yin Ziyu for so many years from Yuanshi Tianzun?

Although Yin Ziyu did not become a disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, he once listened to the teachings of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother with Wen Zhong.

At that time, Yin Ziyu and Wen Zhong, one with a sharp mind and the other born with three eyes that could distinguish loyalty from treachery, could be said to be the two heroes of the empire.

However, Wen Zhong became a disciple, but Yin Ziyu did not. However, after listening to the teachings, he successfully cultivated to the realm of celestial immortal.

These experiences cannot be concealed by a saint, not even by a Golden Immortal. Now that the Golden Spirit Mother has appeared in Chaoge and has used her luck to behead corpses in Chaoge over the years, how can she hide it from Yuanshi Tianzun?

So, what Yin Ziyu did today, and the fact that he got ahead of Ji Chang, was considered by Yuanshi Tianzun to be the intervention of Tongtian to plot against him.

This made Yuanshi Tianzun furious.

The Immortal of the South Pole hesitated for a moment, then took out a tortoise shell inscribed with hexagrams. "Master, now that Ji Chang has mastered the sixty-four hexagrams, should we order him to proclaim them to Heaven and rectify the universe?"

Yuanshi Tianzun paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, a fierce light flickering in his eyes.

At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun knew that he was now lagging behind Bi Gan in terms of reputation in announcing the way of heaven.

But if we don’t do it, there will be suspicion of borrowing in the future.

As a sage, after Yin Ziyu integrated the heavenly and earthly stems and branches, he immediately understood that the Tao contained therein had a great degree of overlap with the sixty-four hexagrams.

In fact, the Ganzhi was indeed created a few years later than the sixty-four hexagrams, but there is no specific person who created them.

However, all the emperors of the Shang Dynasty were named after the Heavenly Stems, and this lasted for tens of thousands of years. So it is reasonable and logical for the direct descendants of Cheng Tang to integrate them, and no one can question it.

Even if there is a similar Tao to the sixty-four hexagrams, it is only the Tao that can be figured out forever.

However, if Ji Chang arrived too late, the effect of the reference would be greatly reduced.

Now that Yin Ziyu had dragged Luoshen along, Ji Chang's luck in extracting Fuxi was greatly reduced, and it also carried the signal of a complete break with Fuxi and Nuwa. This made Yuanshi Tianzun very difficult.

This is originally high return, medium cost and low risk.

But now it has become medium return, medium cost and medium risk.

But this decision must be made. However, once the decision is made, if the sixty-four hexagrams are taken back and Ji Chang is not allowed to announce it to the heaven, then he will give it to his own disciples. The problem is that giving it to his disciples will also create a reputation for reference.

However, if he continued with the original plan, Ji Chang would be a step behind, and would not be as famous as Bi Gan in terms of sage status, so he would be overshadowed by Bi Gan. However, he had gained such a great opportunity. The sixty-four hexagrams were obviously related to Fuxi and Nuwa, and it was obvious that they were used to seize Fuxi's energy. In this way, he would have completely offended Nuwa.

If it weren't for Bi Gan, if Ji Chang had come earlier, even if he had offended Nuwa, it would not have been a big deal. After all, the situation was already set, and Nuwa would have chosen to invest in the future and endure it.

However, Xiqi's fortune has not yet taken shape, and Ji Chang's limelight has been overshadowed. Making an enemy of Nuwa is really useless.

This made Yuanshi Tianzun particularly upset.

However, a decision must be made now, otherwise a plan that has been made for tens of thousands of years will be completely overturned.

When problems arose with Ji Chang, all subsequent plans fell apart.

So, even if something has gone wrong now, we have to push forward anyway.

Yin Ziyu's plan is unknown, and Yuanshi Tianzun's plan has also lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. At this point, it is basically impossible to turn around quickly.

Of course, it’s not that Yin Ziyu’s strategic level really surpassed that of a saint, but Yin Ziyu made arrangements in advance for precautions and foresight.

In addition, the Shang Dynasty has been named after the Heavenly Stems for tens of thousands of years. Now that the Zhaixing Tower has been completed, its fortune is unstable. At the right time, Yin Ziyu uses this to force the continuation of fortune.

This led to this move, which happened to hit the soft spot that Yuanshi Tianzun had been planning for tens of thousands of years.

Even if he was a saint, he had no better way to deal with it at the moment, but he had no choice but to follow the original plan.

Yuanshi Tianzun made countless calculations in an instant, but found that the safest way was to follow the original layout.

"I'm announcing this now. Although we've lost the initiative, we can still fight. If we delay any further, once the Yin Shang's fortunes are solidified, my Chan Sect's plans will be hopeless!"

"Nanji, quickly have Ji Chang set up an altar in Youli and use the sixty-four hexagrams to stimulate the resonance of heaven and earth!"

"Disciple obeys!
At this moment, Tongtian looked at Chaoge Yin Ziyu's actions and was suddenly shocked.

"I didn't expect that Bigan, who had just stabilized his destiny with the Zhaixing Tower, would now actually sort out the origins of the five elements of heaven and earth in the form of stems and branches. This is indeed not simple. Although this has been passed down in the prehistoric world for a long time, no one has been able to do it, and yet this boy has actually done it. If this is the case, it will indeed help stabilize Cheng Tang's destiny."

"The fact that Jin Ling had this opportunity to enter the world and successfully beheaded the corpse was beyond my expectation!"

At this moment, Tongtian had a relieved smile in his eyes, but he did not pay attention to Ji Chang.

In other words, it is simply believed that Yin Ziyu's luck was unstable due to the completion of the construction of the Zhaixing Tower, which forced Yin Ziyu to make a plan to stabilize his luck and save Tianqing.

Tongtian also admired Yin Ziyu's reaction to this. It seemed that the Shang Dynasty had not yet reached the point where it could not recover.

And the Western guide, Zhunti, also looked confused at this moment.

"I miscalculated. I never thought that after the Star-Picking Tower was completed, Bi Gan would actually have this method to stabilize his luck. It's truly incredible!"

Jie Yin sighed, while Zhunti frowned. "Bigan's countermeasures are endless. Yuanshi Tianzun is the instigator of this catastrophe after all. I'm afraid this will be very difficult for Yuanshi Tianzun to handle. Now that the three factions of Cheng Tang's dynasty have rebelled, it's still not enough to shake their destiny. It's amazing that such a human race has emerged in this 60,000-year-old dynasty."

After hearing this, Jie Yin couldn't help but say, "If this person was born in the West, there would be no worries about the prosperity of the West. Sadly, the affairs of King Cheng Tang have reached this point. Even if he tried his best, it would be in vain!"

Zhunti couldn't help but ponder: "Is it all in vain? I've always felt that Bi Gan is no ordinary person. It's not just a simple continuation of luck. This has caused Yuanshi Tianzun's plan to go awry. Is this a coincidence? If it is a coincidence, it's not a big deal. But this is the time of the catastrophe. If it's not a coincidence, it can't be taken lightly!"

Jie Yin was a little nervous: "Junior brother, if this is the case, what should we do?"

Zhunti smiled slightly: "Brother, is this a good thing?"

"Good thing? How good is it?"

Zhunti looked towards the east and sighed softly, "The more ingenious their countermeasures are, and the more they force Yuanshi to be unable to resolve them, the more they will have to pay us in the West. Regardless, if Yuanshi and Laozi alone can't handle this calamity, they will inevitably need the West. If it were the Four Saints like us, Tongtian would definitely not be able to handle this calamity. The ultimate result will be nothing more than us, the Four Saints, forcing the calamity to end."

After hearing this, Jie Yin said, "If that's the case, then Yuanshi Tianzun's reputation will be in jeopardy!"

Zhunti said calmly, "When that time comes, it will certainly be so. The Shang Dynasty is now trying to abandon the ways of the saints and become the hegemon of the prehistoric world. How can we allow them to continue to rule the human race? Cheng Tang's kingdom will surely perish. Only in this way can we advance the great trend of the prehistoric world. Tong Tian, ​​and even Bigan today, are all going against the trend. Even if they lose face in the future, they will still be going with the flow!"

"."

At this moment on the Zhaixing Tower, Yin Ziyu didn't care about the plans of all parties. His merits had been condensed, and no one could interrupt him.

As the big flags appeared one after another, Jiazi, Yichou. The cloud of heaven's merit poured towards the big flags on the Zhaixing Tower like thousands of rivers returning to the sea.

These flags were made by Yin Ziyu over the past ten years using the precious treasures he collected from the ancient times. Dark golden runes of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches flowed on the flags, like sixty laws.

He explained the sixty large flags to Yin Ziyu one by one. The wood energy of the East, Jia and Yi, was like a giant green dragon, entwined around the "Jia Yin" and "Yi Mao" flags. The branches grew wildly and actually produced Taoist fruits that contained vitality.

The Bing and Ding fires in the south turned into crimson flames, burning the "Bingwu" and "Dingsi" flags until they were completely transparent. The shadow of the fire god Zhurong could be vaguely seen hovering in the flames.

The metal energy of Geng and Xin in the west condensed into thousands of divine swords, colliding with the "Gengshen" and "Xinyou" flags, condensing the origin of the primordial gold.

The Ren and Gui waters in the north formed surging rivers, carrying with them the mysterious aura, soaking the "Ren Zi" and "Gui Hai" flags, causing them to emit a cold blue light.

The central Wu Ji earth turned into mountains, pressing down on the flags of "Wu Chen" and "Ji Chou". In the thick ochre halo, the roar of a yellow dragon could be faintly heard.

These flags belong to the pure five elements, but the origin of the primitive times is not pure, so the other impure five elements form the interweaving of the origins of yin and yang and the five elements.

The original energy of the five elements near Chaoge rushed in frantically along the patterns on the flag, colliding with the golden light of merit and virtue, and erupting in an earth-shaking roar.

The sixty large flags trembled violently, and the runes of the Great Dao moved like living things, gradually merging into a huge Zhoutian Jiazi formation.

In the formation, the laws of time and space are intertwined, forming countless microscopic vortices of time and space, and in each vortex one can glimpse a different trajectory of fate.

"It's done!"

A brilliant light burst out from Yin Ziyu's body, and twelve purple airs rose from the soles of his feet, carrying Yin Ziyu slowly to the center of the formation.

The golden light of merit on the sixty large flags became more and more dazzling, and actually condensed into a series of pictures of the way of heaven on the flags.

In the painting of the Way of Heaven, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are the basis, outlining the interweaving of time and space, cause and effect, reincarnation, and destiny.

After all, the origin of the prehistoric world is Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, so everything in the prehistoric world cannot be separated from the formation of its nature.

"Heaven knows the way above. The Great Shang High Priest Bigan, less than the High Priest Mi Fei, gathered the names of the Heavenly Origin and the forms of the Earthly Origin that were circulated throughout the prehistoric world and successfully attained enlightenment. From then on, sixty Jiazi years were divided, and the years in the prehistoric world were divided into the Five Elements. This year, the sky is filled with the energy of wood, and the earth is filled with the might of water. This year is designated the Jiazi Year. The following year, the Five Elements will shift, with the energy of wood gradually strengthening and the energy of earth gradually cooling. This will be the Yichou Year. And so on and so forth. From then on, the Great Shang used the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to count years, months, days, and hours. This is the Great Shang Calendar. From then on, the years of the prehistoric world were marked, and fate could be predicted!"

"Rumble"

The sixty flags of the Chinese zodiac burst out with dazzling golden light at the same time, and the symbols on each flag turned into flowing light, sprinkling across the four seas and eight wildernesses like raindrops.

The sacred artifact of the origin of the sixty Jiazi years, from this moment on, completely integrates the origin of the primordial world, and from then on, all living beings will also comprehend the destiny trajectory of the resonance of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

Of course, what Yin Ziyu said was not his own creation, but a summary.

At the same time, the stems and branches are discoveries, not inventions, which means that the fate of all living beings in the prehistoric world is in regular accordance with the flow of the five elements of the prehistoric world.

And now, Yin Ziyu has perfected this law and announced it to all living beings in the prehistoric world.

"Rumble"

When Yin Ziyu's voice fell, two golden lights of merit instantly enveloped Yin Ziyu and Mi Fei, with Yin Ziyu receiving 70% and Mi Fei receiving 30%.

Over the years, thanks to Concubine Mi for filling in countless Daos in these sixty Jiazi. After all, Yin Ziyu only has a basic framework, but the Dao contained in it is very huge, and it requires two people to fill it. At the same time, Concubine Mi has gained merits and can become a thread that connects Nuwa and Fuxi.
