Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

What Wang Xuan found most difficult to let go of was the method of "enlightenment" mentioned in the scriptures.

Lin Nan once said to him: "This sutra contains the wisdom to distinguish the nature of good and evil, can explore the mystery of the soul's reincarnation, and also contains the method of enlightenment. You can use it to expand your little world."

"Yes, thank you, Master!" Wang Xuan hurriedly bowed deeply, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Go." After Lin Nan gave him the method, he waved his hand gently.

Wang Xuan only felt a powerful magical power enveloping him, and he was instantly sent back to where he was. When he came to his senses, he found himself standing in the City God Temple in the underworld again.

He looked around, and there was no one there, as if everything before was just a dream. However, the "City God's Induction of the Supreme Wonderful Sutra" in his mind was extremely real, and he knew that he had obtained a great opportunity.

"What a coincidence! I have got such a great benefit again!" Wang Xuan was very excited, and secretly vowed to follow Lin Nan's guidance, act well, and expand his own underworld.

"Let's start by enlightening the servants in the temple, and try the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters first?" Wang Xuan was extremely anxious and wanted to take action immediately.

……

"He is quite a hard-working guy." Lin Nan knew Wang Xuan's thoughts very well in his own Sanqing Temple.

For Wang Xuan, this was a great opportunity; but for Lin Nan, it was just a casual attempt, a move. Through this attempt, Lin Nan was able to completely rebuild the underworld from point to surface, following the same method.

However, this will take a long time and cannot be accomplished overnight. After all, the modern environment no longer has the abundant vitality of the past. Otherwise, let alone reopening the underworld, even re-establishing the Taoist temple and rebuilding the heavenly palace would not be a difficult task.

But now is the Dharma Ending Age, everything must be done slowly, bit by bit. Wang Xuan is the first to try.

If Wang Xuan can really grow stronger through the incense, it means that this method can be replicated. By then, Lin Nan can completely appoint city gods in various places, and eventually connect all the small underworlds to form a large underworld that covers the entire world.

By then, the underworld can be established, and Lin Nan can also use it to comprehend the Yin spirit and the way of reincarnation. And Wang Xuan will be like his "worker".

"Should I find someone to enlighten me first?" Wang Xuan thought to himself.

"No, looking for someone to enlighten you, but the person you enlighten may not be a human."

“Sometimes, people are not necessarily reliable.”

Wang Xuan made up his mind.

There are many temples for city gods in this world. In each temple, in addition to the statue of the main city god, there are often other statues of servant gods. Among them, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Gods are more common.

According to legend, in ancient times, the Ox-Headed Demon was the reincarnation of an unfilial son, who was punished to be an ox and a horse for eternity, doing the lowest level of hard labor in the underworld. There is also a legend that the Ox-Headed Demon and the Horse-Face Demon represent hardworking oxen and horses.

Wang Xuan walked out of his own City God Temple, and felt that as the incense became more prosperous, his Yin Earth also grew a little bit. More importantly, within the coverage of the Yin Earth, he had the ability to go out for a short time.

With a thought, he left the underworld and came to the real world. However, no one could see his body.

It was night, and the moonlight was like water. Walking in the real world, Wang Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his body was full of holes, and his breath was constantly leaking out. Even if he did nothing and stayed in the outside world, he would become weaker and weaker. This was completely different from the environment in the underworld.

"This is the end of the Dharma era, where the extraordinary cannot exist at all." Wang Xuan sighed, "Unless the spiritual energy revives one day, this environment will change."

He felt the environment of the real world and didn't want to stay any longer. He just wanted to finish things quickly and return to the underworld.

Before he knew it, Wang Xuan arrived at a village. This was the nearest village with cattle. There was a farmer who raised three cows, and now there were only two left. The other one was sold today.

"Alas!" Although they sold a cow and earned some money, the family still sighed at night.

Because when they were selling the cow today, something happened that they couldn't bear. When the cow was sold and about to be taken to slaughter, it turned around and knelt on its front legs, with turbid tears dripping from its huge eyes, as if it was bidding farewell to its owner.

Therefore, although this family sold the cow and got money, they did not look happy at all.

Under such circumstances, Wang Xuan came to this family's house and went straight to the "cowshed".

In the cowshed, Wang Xuan saw three cows, one of which looked a little illusory.

"I came just in time. The spirit of this cow hasn't dissipated yet. If I had come a little later, I wouldn't have known what would happen. It's rare that a spiritual soul can return to where it was before death."

There were three cows in the cowshed. The illusory one was the soul of the cow that had just died today. This was also Wang Xuan's target.

The next moment, Wang Xuan stepped forward and said, "It's you."

As he spoke, he pointed out with one finger. There was a little light on the fingertips, which was the enlightenment method in the "City God's Induction of the Supreme Wonderful Sutra". The light on the fingertips contained his divine power and method, and this finger could also be called the "Enlightening Finger".

In the world of Journey to the West, such methods are common. When many monsters occupy the mountains and become kings, they often enlighten many animals to become little monsters. Wang Xuan's "Enlightenment Finger" comes from the "City God's Induction of the Supreme Wonderful Sutra", which is specifically aimed at enlightening souls.

As he pointed, the cow soul, which originally looked like an ordinary yellow cow, suddenly changed. Its body turned into a ball, like cotton candy or a pool of water, losing its specific shape.

Then, after a surge, except for a bull head, the body of the bull soul had stood up from its original limbs and turned into a human-like appearance. This image was surprisingly the appearance of a "bull head".

On its head, a pair of huge bull eyes also showed a little more wisdom, but it was not strong. After all, it was just a bull, and after being enlightened, its IQ could not suddenly become like that of an ordinary person.

If Lin Nan were to enlighten him personally, he could still become extraordinary. But Wang Xuan himself was just a "newborn city god" with neither great power nor extraordinary magical powers.

Therefore, the Bull Head he had enlightened at this moment, apart from its appearance, had the same intelligence as a human child. However, its inherent quality of hard work and perseverance was preserved. This alone was enough.

The current enlightenment is to let the bull head transform and open up its spiritual wisdom. But there is still one step left.

Wang Xuan practiced the method of "The Miraculous Scripture of the City God's Response to the Supreme Being", and then exhaled divine power from his mouth: "Master Lin Nan, I am the City God Wang Xuan, and today I appoint Niu Tou as the messenger of the underworld."

With this shout, the "imperial scroll" in Wang Xuan's body sparkled, and then a divine power came out. It was like a ray of spiritual light, which directly made Niutou feel as if he had received an epiphany, and he also had an extra "official" uniform on his body.

Moreover, the meaning of etiquette was infused into Niutou's mind. When Niutou saw Wang Xuan appear, he immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said in a rough voice: "Niutou greets Lord City God!"

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, and at this moment the enlightenment and enthronement of Niu Tou had been completed.

"Follow me back to the underworld first." Wang Xuan did not stay for too long. After all, outside the underworld, every minute and every second was quietly consuming his strength.

Soon, they returned to the underworld.

This time, Wang Xuan did not go out to look for a partner for Niu Tou, "Horse Face".

It turned out that in the underworld that he controlled, there happened to be people raising cattle, but no one raised horses.

If he wanted to confer an imperial seal on the Horse-Faced Demon, he had to go out and look for him. However, his divine power was not enough to support the long journey, so he had to give up.

But this does not mean that Wang Xuan has no solution. After taking a short breath in the underworld, he took action again, this time entering the dreamland. …

Team leader Cao has been busy around the City God Temple recently. Lin Nan's whereabouts are erratic and difficult to contact, but Lin Nan has pointed out the direction and he has appointed a City God.

Therefore, the special team led by Team Leader Cao launched an operation against the City God. At night, he fell asleep not far away and slept very soundly.

However, a strange feeling came over him, and Team Leader Cao found himself in a thick fog. Looking up, he saw fog all around him. He had no idea that he was dreaming.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, accompanied by heavy breathing, and a rough voice sounded: "The City God has arrived, all evil spirits retreat!"

Team leader Cao immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a divine light flashing in the fog. The divine light came from a figure wearing a black robe of the city god, whose face was shrouded in the divine light and difficult to see clearly.

However, behind him, a tall figure was particularly eye-catching, with strong limbs but a huge bull's head.

Team leader Cao was shocked and thought to himself: "City God? Ox Head?"

"Team Leader Cao." The figure of the City God was none other than Wang Xuan. At this moment, he appeared in the dream, pushed aside the mist, and came to Team Leader Cao, followed closely by Niutou.

"City God Wang Xuan?" Team Leader Cao asked tentatively.

"It's me." Wang Xuan responded, and the fog around him surged.

He stated his purpose directly: "The City God Temple needs a messenger from the underworld. Now I have enlightened the bull-headed messenger, but I am still in need of a horse-faced messenger. I need..."

The fog grew thicker and Wang Xuan's figure gradually disappeared.

Team leader Cao woke up suddenly, turned his head and looked out the window. The sun was rising and its light was pouring into the house.

"Is this a dream?" Team leader Cao came back to his senses with a confused look on his face. He realized that he was just dreaming, but what he saw in the dream was extremely real.

"The messenger from the underworld, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced God..." Team Leader Cao muttered to himself, recalling that in his dream the king knew his needs.

……

Time passed, four seven-day periods, twenty-eight days, nearly a month had passed.

Lin Nan in Sanqing Temple finally raised his head and looked at the positions of the sun and the moon.

"It's finally going to work." He has sensed that his external incarnations on the sun and the moon are now stirring and about to be born. It only takes one last step.

This fast speed is due to Lin Nan's own profound cultivation.

With the birth of the two external incarnations of the Moon and the Sun, strange phenomena appeared even in this modern world.

On this day, countless people on the Blue Planet witnessed a miraculous sight.

"Look, the sun and the moon are hanging in the sky at the same time!" An exclamation broke the tranquility of the early morning. People who were doing morning exercises in the park looked up one after another, and were instantly shocked by the wonder before them and stood there in a daze.

In the east, a red sun was rising, and its golden light was spreading wantonly, dyeing the earth into a brilliant golden color; in the west, a bright moon was as bright as jade, and its silver light gently enveloped all things in the world.

The sun and the moon are in the sky, their light is no less brilliant, as if dividing the sky into two, clearly distinct parts.

The sunlight is bright, like a burning flame; the moonlight is hazy, as ethereal as a veil.

This strange light interweaves together and sprinkles on the earth, covering all things in the world with a mysterious veil.

"What's going on? I've never seen anything like this before." An old man with gray hair opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

A young man nearby quickly took out his phone and said excitedly while filming: "This will definitely go viral, I have to post it online right away."

Soon, this unprecedented strange scene was captured by people and spread wildly on short video platforms and various social platforms, instantly causing an uproar.

For a time, even the National Meteorological Observatory issued news bulletins in succession: "Today, a rare sight of the sun and the moon appearing in the sky appeared in our country. Experts speculate that this is a once-in-a-millennium event..." The authorities quickly dispatched a group of experts to conduct an analysis. The experts sat together, frowning at the various data and observation images, and discussions continued one after another.

However, the vision did not end there.

When the sun and moon were at their brightest, Lin Nan stood on the top of the mountain, feeling the two external incarnations of the moon and sun in his body stirring. He closed his eyes slightly and whispered softly, "It's time."

In an instant, there was a flash of light, and that light was the sound of the incarnations of the Moon and the Sun emerging into the world.

After the flash of light, what appeared before the eyes of billions of people on Blue Star was the sun and the moon...extinguished! The light of the sun disappeared, and the light of the moon also dissipated.

It was as if the lights were turned off, the candlelight dimmed, the sunlight and moonlight disappeared in an instant, and the blue planet was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Before, when the sun and the moon were in the sky, people were still in the mood to watch and discuss, and it was very lively. But when the light of the sun and the moon disappeared, some people immediately panicked.

"Is this the end of the world?" a child asked in a crying voice.

On the road, the lights of countless vehicles were on, and the lights of thousands of households were brightly lit. People went online to seek an explanation.

A mother hugged her child tightly and asked her husband with a trembling voice: "What on earth is going on?" The husband frowned and shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, and the experts haven't given an explanation either."

At this time, the experts were also at a loss, and they were anxiously running around in the conference room. "This is completely beyond our understanding!" said one expert anxiously.

Only Lin Nan knew that the reason why the light of the sun and the moon disappeared was because the two external incarnations of the Taiyin and the Sun had been fully conceived and separated from the sun and the moon respectively! These two external incarnations were the cores of the sun and the moon respectively. Therefore, once they were conceived and left, such a strange phenomenon occurred.

However, this did not last long.

After all, whether it is the sun or the moon, although the core has become Lin Nan's external incarnation, it does not represent the complete sun and moon.

All I can say is that the sun and the moon are like a plant, and the core is the fruit from which it was born. If the fruit is picked, there will be an impact, but it will not be too big.

Therefore, soon after the lunar and solar clones left, the light of the sun and the moon returned to normal and everything returned to normal.

Above the Blue Planet, the entire world regained its light, as if the previous vision had never occurred.

But too many people witnessed what just happened.

On the Internet, a huge wave of discussion and speculation arose. (End of this chapter)
