Rewriting the Gods

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned immediately. The Golden Immortals of Fortune and Blessings under his command were selected from tens of thousands of beings seeking the Tao. Their backgrounds and blessings were extremely deep and profound, which could not be compared with those of the disciples of Jiejiao.

Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath and said, "Since Junior Brother doesn't want to, then forget it."

"I see that the fortune of the Shang Dynasty is about to end, and the Zhou Dynasty will replace the Shang Dynasty. Why not take advantage of this opportunity when the nine tripods overlap and have a competition between the two sects? The one with the most blessings will be free and easy, the next one will be included in the list of eight gods, and the next one will be reduced to ashes!"

"it is good!"

Master Tongtian nodded without any hesitation.

Let’s compete. The Twelve Golden Immortals under my senior brother’s seat are indeed highly skilled in Taoism, but the disciples under my own sect are not inferior to them!

As the two of them talked, they set the tone for the matter of conferring gods.

Seeing this, Patriarch Hongjun on the side also said: "Okay!"

"Since you two have decided, let's do it."

"Four hundred and eighty thousand Hui Yuan have already passed in this calamity. Although the six of you plus the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have suppressed the primitive world, the pressure on the world is much less than in the previous calamities. But after four hundred and eighty thousand Hui Yuan have passed, humanity has flourished, and there are many creatures in the three realms who have transcended the world."

"It is a good opportunity to start a catastrophe, eliminate the murderous intentions of heaven and earth, return the spirit to heaven and earth, and usher in a prosperous era again!"

As he spoke, Patriarch Hongjun raised his hand and pointed at the Investiture of the Gods in front of him. The opened Investiture of the Gods instantly closed, and a mysterious Taoist seal appeared on the Investiture of the Gods, sealing it up.

"I have sealed this list. In the future, I will build a Conferred God Platform and set up this list. During the Conferred God period, this list will automatically collect the fallen true spirits in the world. Those with deep blessings and long luck, even if they die in the catastrophe, can still be included in the Conferred God List and be conferred as gods!"

"Anyone who enters the Conferred God List will have their true spirit preserved in the list. The luck of heaven will continue, and the gods will be immortal!"

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu nodded upon hearing this and had no objection.

After a pause, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly said, "Master, the Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms, manages all races, and maintains the orderly operation of heaven and earth. The responsibilities are heavy. Junior Brother Haotian is in charge of the authority of the Three Realms alone. It is too tiring and may delay his cultivation."

“Why not re-establish the Four Imperial Emperors to assist Junior Brother Haotian in managing the Three Realms and maintaining the operation of heaven and earth.”

Haotian, who was standing behind Hongjun, suddenly had a gloomy expression on his face. What do you mean by sharing his worries? He was worried that he would be too tired and delay his cultivation. These Four Emperors were here to share his power.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Hongjun's expression remained unchanged, and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes. In Patriarch Hongjun's mind, an ancient and mysterious jade butterfly lit up with a mysterious light, and a long river of time and space rushed over, with countless human figures flashing in it.

The next moment, a line of time and space split apart and flowed forward at a speed billions of times faster than usual, and scenes emerged in the long river of time and space.

After a moment, the mysterious light in Hongjun Patriarch's eyes faded, and he nodded and said, "That makes sense!"

"In this case, then we will establish the Four Imperial Emperors, who will be ranked as the first-class gods in the Heavenly Court, just below Haotian!"

"The Four Imperial Emperors are the Northern Pole Zhongtian Ziwei Emperor, the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor, the Gou Chen Shanggong Tianhuang Emperor, and the Hou Tu Huang Di Qi who follow the example of the Heaven!"

As Hongjun spoke, the will of heaven flowed and was directly written into the origin of the prehistoric world.

"Among the Four Imperial Emperors, the Northern Pole Purple Star Emperor assists the Heavenly Emperor in managing the celestial meridians, the sun, the moon, and the stars, commands the star gods of the Three Realms and the gods of mountains and rivers, commands the gods of thunder and lightning, controls Luofeng, and commands all matters in the netherworld; the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor assists the Heavenly Emperor in managing the lifespan, disasters, and blessings of the human world, controls the key to the birth of disasters and blessings of all things, and calls the wind and rain; the Upper Palace of Gou Chen Emperor assists the Heavenly Emperor in balancing the North and South Poles, commands the three talents of heaven, earth, and man, and is in charge of the wars in the Three Realms; Chengtian Xiexie Hou Tu Huang Dizhi assists the Heavenly Emperor in managing the changes in mountains and land, as well as the gods of mountains and earth, commands the gods of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, controls disasters, and controls reincarnation!"

"Among the Four Emperors, Pingxin will be the Earth God of Heaven and Earth. The remaining three emperors will be given to those who are destined to be gods. After they are deified, the winner will be revealed!"

As Hongjun finished speaking, the way of heaven began to flow, and the system of gods in heaven suddenly underwent tremendous changes. At the same time, a vast divine light surged, and rich power of the way of heaven gathered in the depths of the reincarnation in the underworld, and fell into the body of Empress Pingxin, forming a luxurious divine robe on Pingxin's body.

Pingxin took a quick glance at the divine robe and immediately understood the whole story. He bowed from a distance to the Zixiao Palace, thus accepting the job.

Afterwards, a mysterious light flashed on Pingxin's body, and the divine robe symbolizing the Four Imperial Emperors was instantly retracted.

······
In the Zixiao Palace, a smile appeared on his face as he watched Houtu accept the job.

His eyes fell on Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu again. He raised his hand and waved it. The List of Conferred Gods and the God-beating List fell in front of the two of them. "Which of you two will be in charge of the Conferred Gods?"

Tong Tian Jiaozhu glanced at the Investiture of the Gods without saying anything. After a long pause, Yuan Shi Tian Zun raised his hand and took over the Divine Whip from the Investiture of the Gods, and said:

"This time, Junior Brother Haotian has passed on the decree to Yuxu Palace for the Conferred God Ceremony of the Heavenly Court. In this case, let my disciples be in charge of the Conferred God Ceremony."

"Alright."

Seeing this, Patriarch Hongjun didn't say much. It didn't matter who was in charge. It was just a matter of setting up a platform. Then he turned to look at Haotian beside him and said, "Haotian, are you satisfied this time?"

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian stood up and saluted respectfully. Although this was a little different from what he expected, it was still very good. Although he did not get the Twelve Golden Immortals, it was not bad to have the Three Hundred and Sixty-five True Gods.

Besides, the List of Conferred Gods has been sealed, and it is hard to say who will be on the list. Even the Twelve Golden Immortals may be on the list.

"it is good!"

"Everything is done, you can go back now."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed to Patriarch Hongjun at the same time, and then turned into streams of light and disappeared.

After everyone left, the wooden door of Zixiao Palace closed by itself. The chaotic energy surged around it, and Zixiao Palace disappeared into the depths of chaos again.

At the same time, as everyone left, the tone of this catastrophe was set.

·······
At the same time, the human race is in Huangshan!

Taoist Wanxiang sat cross-legged on the top of Zhonghuang Mountain, looking at the Chaoge City in the distance.

Since the creation of the world, the ancient world has experienced four great calamities: the calamity of ferocious beasts, the calamity of dragons and Han, the calamity of Taoist demons, and the calamity of wizards and demons. Later, there was the calamity of the Conferred Gods and the Journey to the West, as well as many other calamities that even the Taoist Wanxiang did not quite understand.

But now we can see six kalpas, and the first four kalpas are completely different from the last two kalpas.

The first four catastrophes were caused by the spontaneous evolution of heaven and earth. The catastrophe energy swept across the entire prehistoric world, countless immortals fell, and the four seas and eight wildernesses were shaken. Each time was a shocking war.

The first beast calamity happened too long ago, and the Wanxiang Taoist didn't know much about it. The Longhan calamity directly destroyed the prehistoric world and created the Three Thousand Worlds. The Dao Demon calamity shattered the spiritual veins of the West. Now that nearly two calamities have passed, the West has not recovered. Mount Xumi, which was originally one of the three great immortal mountains in the prehistoric world, has suffered great damage to its origin and cannot be compared with Mount Kunlun at all.

Nowadays, all the immortals in the ancient times know that the number one immortal mountain in the world is Mount Kunlun in the east, and there is no Mount Xumi at all. But few immortals know that a long time ago, to be precise, before the five great masters of supernatural powers, Hongjun, Luohou, Yangmei, Qiankun, and Yinyang, fought in the west, Mount Xumi was no worse than Mount Kunlun.

As for the Lich-War Catastrophe that just passed, even Mount Buzhou was destroyed.

During the four kalpas, there was never a small commotion, and countless immortals died each time.

But when it came to Conferred Gods and Journey to the West, the two catastrophes were suddenly reduced. Conferred Gods was not so bad, as several saints intervened, and although the scale of the war became smaller, the specifications were indeed raised and were no worse than the previous times.

The later Journey to the West, compared with the previous ones, is just a joke and is not on the same level at all.

The main reason for this situation should be the Six Saints. The appearance of the Six Saints reduced the scale and power of the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

Moreover, with the Dao Ancestor's integration with the Dao and the six saints returning to their positions, the catastrophe has been given a set of rules.

Simply put, before people become saints, the catastrophe is the catalyst, and the catastrophe energy only guides it. The final result depends entirely on luck, and each time it is easy to cause big trouble.

Many times, the catastrophes guided by heaven and earth will end up causing huge damage to heaven and earth.

But after the Taoist Ancestor merged with the Dao, the catastrophe of heaven and earth was planned. The saints had basically planned out how to proceed, and it would not easily affect heaven and earth. Of course, Tongtian Sect Master's final act of overturning the table did not count.

In this way, it is indeed a good thing for heaven and earth.

Moreover, with a charter, there is room for maneuver!
A gleam of light flashed in Wanxiang Taoist's eyes. After staying in the prehistoric world for such a long time, Wanxiang Taoist was also very clear that the power of the prehistoric saints was too strong, and it was impossible for him to overturn the table directly.

Even if I had a breakthrough and had the power to threaten a saint, I wouldn't be able to overturn the table.

After all, there are more than one saint in the prehistoric times. Even if the saint of heaven who draws on the power of heaven is weak, a saint is still a saint after all. If he really wants to overturn the table, he will definitely be held down.

The experience of Master Tongtian is the best lesson, not to mention that Master Tongtian also has the Four Zhuxian Swords that originated from Luohou. If Master Tongtian is in this situation, it will be the same for anyone else.

Since you can't overturn the table, just follow the rules and do things within the established rules. No one can say you are wrong.

If I make another breakthrough, I won’t be able to overturn the table, but I can still make an exception occasionally.

As Taoist Wanxiang didn't think about it, the current situation gradually became clear.

Taoist Wanxiang took a deep breath and looked towards the distant city of Chaoge. At this time in the Shang Dynasty, the ruler was King Wen Ding, the grandfather of Emperor Xin.

At this time, Wendi had just ascended the throne not long ago, and it would take at least several decades before Emperor Xin came to power.

While he was thinking, a stream of light flashed in the void and the figure of Suiren emerged.

"Brother Wanxiang, the calamity of heaven and earth is spreading. The calamity has begun. All the blessed places and three thousand immortal mountains have sent letters asking, how should we deal with the calamity next?"

Taoist Wanxiang remained calm and said, "Keep your troops still and wait for the natural disaster to happen."

There are only a few years left before the deification. Everything that needs to be prepared has already been prepared. It is too late to prepare now.

"it is good!"

"I will send a message to all the blessed places."

"Ok!"

Wanxiang Taoist nodded and paused, then asked, "How is the training of the mortal disciples of the thirty-six academies going?"

Suiren replied: "This generation is ready. In three years, this generation of students will go down the mountain. As for the new generation, they are still being recruited."

"This generation of academy disciples is very good. Among them are Shang Rong from Danxia Academy, E Lai from Pengxuan Academy, Bigan from Lingzhen Academy, Zhang Guifang from Huolin Academy, Huang Gun from Rongcheng Academy, Lu Xiong from Chishui Academy, Mei Bo from Zhuling Academy, Zhao Qi from Baoji Academy, Du Yuanxian from Shengxuan Academy, Yu Hualong from Jixuan Academy, Xia Zhao from Zhenxuan Academy, Lu Renjie from Tianzhu Academy..."

“There are also many good talents among the new generation of academy disciples, Wei Zi from Danxia Cave Heaven, Huang Feihu from Pengxuan Academy, Zhang Kui from Huolin Academy, Gao Lanying from Baoji Academy, Han Sheng from Chishui Cave Heaven, Han Bian from Shengxuan Academy, Zhang Shan from Lingzhen Academy…”

As the names came out of Suiren's mouth one by one, a trance flashed in Wanxiang Taoist's eyes.

These names are very familiar, and they are basically important officials of the Shang Dynasty during the Conferred Gods period.

But it is also true that, although there are fifty great ways, forty-nine are created by nature, and one of them disappears, but only one disappears, and the remaining forty-nine are still constants!

These people were able to stand out in the original time and space and contribute their last bit of strength to Da Shang. In this period, they will naturally stand out and become the core disciples of the thirty-six academies.

Among the four ministers under Emperor Xin, Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, Bigan and Huang Feihu, three were in the thirty-six academies of the human race.

Among them, Shang Rong and Bigan will come down the mountain in three years to assist the King of Shang.

The King of Wucheng Huang Feihu was the next batch. Logically speaking, he should have come down the mountain one hundred and three years later to assist the Human King.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Once one enters the thirty-six academies, one naturally embarks on the path of cultivation. Everyone of them is an immortal with an endless lifespan.

But it is impossible for everyone to stay in the human world forever, so they come down to the human world according to the rule of one generation per hundred years to assist the Human King. They assist the Human King for a hundred years in the human world, and then hand over the power and return to the cave heaven to practice. The new generation of disciples from the academy will continue to assist the Human King.

However, when encountering the calamity of Conferred Gods, this new batch of people will naturally not wait a hundred years later.

The Suiren on the side continued:

"We have only enrolled more than ten new generation disciples, and the rest have not yet been filled. According to past practice, we will be filled within fifty years at the latest. The good seedlings that emerge in the last fifty years will be kept for the next generation."

After a pause, Suiren said with some regret: "It's a pity that the important minister of the Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong, who you deduced from your calculations of the heavens has not yet been found. It may also be that the time has not come yet. Maybe he will be found in a few years."

Hearing this, Wanxiang Taoist shook his head and said, "It has not been found yet, and it should be impossible to find it. It seems that it is not destined to be in our human race's academy."

"But don't worry, according to the divine will, even if he is not as good as the academy, he will be a pillar of our race in the future!"

Wen Zhong was a veteran of three dynasties in the Shang Dynasty, which means that Wen Zhong entered the court as an official during the reign of King Wen Ding of the Shang Dynasty. Now that Wen Ding has ascended the throne, Wen Zhong is probably already cultivating with the Golden Spirit Holy Mother. (End of this chapter)
