I am a fairy in Journey to the West

However, after the "Five Emperors' Book of Governance" was submitted this time, compared with a thousand years ago, not many people explicitly opposed it. Some just expressed doubts about the uncertainty of the "Five Emperors' Governance".

After all, once the "Five Emperors' Prescriptions" were implemented, most of the power in the world would be concentrated in the hands of the Five Great Emperors.

So even though there aren't many people who clearly oppose it, there aren't many people who clearly support it either, because once you support something like this, you'll be responsible if any problems arise in the future.

But this time, several emperors in heaven came out to support "The Book of Prescriptions of the Five Emperors", and the Five Great Emperors of the Mountains have already obtained the support of 90% of the gods in the world.

Therefore, the Four Emperors could not make a dictatorial decision this time and directly rejected "The Five Emperors' Book of Prescriptions".

The court meeting in the Lingxiao Palace lasted for seven days without reaching a conclusion, mainly because everyone had different opinions.

The Jade Emperor saw that they had been unable to reach a conclusion and it was not a good idea for the gods to waste their time here, so he issued an edict to suspend the court meeting for three days and continue it after three days.

The Jade Emperor also ordered Taibai Jinxing to go down to Taixuan Mountain to convey his orders, and ordered the Five Mountains Emperors and others to continue waiting for the will of Heaven. Before the Heavenly Court made a decision, the gods should not act rashly.

As the court meeting was suspended, the gods took their leave one after another. After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, they did not return home, but instead found a place to gather together to continue discussing.

The Jade Emperor came to the Tongming Hall to have a rest, while the Four Imperial Emperors brought Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun to the Pixiang Hall to continue discussions.

After everyone sat down, they heard Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun say: "This time, the Five Emperors' Book of Prescriptions has a huge momentum and has won the support of the emperors in the heavenly court. It seems that this memorial cannot be rejected anymore."

Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun also nodded and said: "It is difficult to go against the will of the people."

The Four Imperial Emperors looked at each other, and then the Purple Star Emperor spoke out his worries: "The reason why we rejected the Five Emperors' Prescription Book is not because we are reluctant to give power to the gods in the human world. It's because the affairs of the human world are extremely complicated and involve many things. The Five Mountains alone cannot control them."

Emperor Gou Chen said: "First of all, the first difficulty is that human affairs are not only about human beings, but also about Taoism, Buddhism and other major religions. Not to mention Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nanzhanbuzhou and Beijuluzhou, the affairs of Xiniuhezhou are not that simple."

"It's easy to say that the Five Emperors rule the country. Each of the Five Great Emperors of the Five Mountains rules a large continent. But once the Western Mountain sets foot on Xiniuhe Continent, will Buddhism not react?"

"Without the deterrence of the power of Heaven, how can the Xiyue Divine Palace and the gods in the lower world deal with Buddhism?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun looked at each other and also felt that this problem was very difficult.

Not to mention Xiniuhezhou, the four continents have been governed by Buddhism from the very beginning, otherwise how could there be the Five Buddhas?
The Southern Emperor Changsheng said, "In fact, I also know that the Five Mountains Emperors want to take over the jurisdiction of the four continents from the Buddhist sect, so they came up with the idea of ​​the Five Emperors' Book of Prescriptions. On the surface, it is a power struggle within the Heavenly Court, but in fact, the real purpose is not to drink."

"Buddhism can see it." said Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.

Ziwei Emperor said: "Dong Wanggong, Xi Wangmu, Dou Mu Yuanjun, Zhenwu Emperor and other Taoist friends are all radicals against Buddhism. They support the "Five Emperors' Book of Prescriptions", and their intentions are not difficult to guess."

Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun said: "I wonder what your Majesty's attitude is?"

Emperor Ziwei shook his head and said, "I don't know yet."

As they were talking, the spiritual officer on duty outside the hall came in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the four emperors, the Eastern King, the Western Queen Mother, the Central Heaven Brahma Dou Mu Yuanjun, and the Zhenwu Emperor, are waiting to see you outside the hall."

"Oh?" Everyone in the hall looked surprised, and then Emperor Ziwei said, "Please invite the four Taoist friends into the hall."

The spiritual official bowed and said, "As you command."

While the Five Emperors' Prescriptions were being discussed in Heaven, the 'Immortal House' opened by the Lion King and Yu Jing and his wife in Xiangling Mansion in Dongsheng Shenzhou was finally opened.

This fairy pavilion was rebuilt from the original "Ghost Market", but it is not located inside a cave. Instead, it was built on the peaks of "Qingfeng Mountain", open and aboveboard, without any cover or concealment.

Zhuang Yan was invited and unveiled the plaque for the Immortal Pavilion in the presence of many cultivators and fairies. Looking at the four large golden characters "Qingfeng Xianfang" on the golden plaque at the gate of the Immortal Pavilion, everyone present burst into extremely warm cheers.

Afterwards, the Lion King and his wife announced that the Xianfang would hold an opening banquet, and all those present today could attend the banquet for free.

Gongs and drums were blaring, colorful flags were flying, the fairy pavilion was filled with joy, and the banquet was full of guests.

In the midst of this joy, Zhuang Yan only sat in the Immortal Pavilion for a short while. After receiving a toast from the Lion King and his wife, he returned to Qingping Mountain.

However, Zhuang Yan kept Jiang Han, Baojie and Xiu Huang to stay and have the banquet with everyone on his behalf.

As soon as Zhuang Yan returned to Qingping Mountain, he noticed something strange in the mountain, because he felt that the weather in the mountain today was very different from the past.

But Zhuang Yan couldn't tell the specific differences. Even his 'Searching Heaven's Secrets' and 'True Eyes of the Cave Heaven' couldn't see through them at all.

Looking up at Qingping Mountain again, I saw that the mountain was vague, as if it was out of touch with the human world. Every grain of dust and every stone on the ground seemed to be endowed with powerful divine power, as if they could transcend the mortal world and fly into the sky at any time.

"Sure enough, my perception was correct. A very distinguished and noble guest has come to Qingping Mountain." Zhuang Yan thought to himself. He then took a step and slowly walked into the Divine Palace and came to the main hall of the Divine Palace.

A majestic and dignified figure stood in the hall. He was dressed in a light green Confucian robe, with a long beard hanging down to his chest. His face was upright and calm, and he had a smile on his face, looking majestic without being angry.

When Zhuang Yan saw this person, he was immediately startled and hurried forward to bow and say, "Your Highness Zhuang Yan, I pay my respects to the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Mysterious Sky High God."

The Jade Emperor's eyes were full of stars and his face was smiling. He said to Zhuang Yan with a smile: "Lord Lingtai, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhuang Yan bowed quickly and said, "I did not know that Your Majesty was coming in person, and I did not greet you. I am guilty of death."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "I was just joking with you, Lord Lingtai. I have come down from the mortal world in my incarnation to ask you a question."

Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat first. Allow me to serve you tea and fruit. I respectfully present this to Your Majesty."

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Don't bother. I shouldn't stay in the lower world for long. I just sent my incarnation here to make the mud of your Qingping Mountain almost become a spirit."

Zhuang Yan said: "Your Majesty's grace is immense. All things in heaven and earth depend on your blessings."

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "You are very nice to hear. It's a pity that I can't keep you in the Heavenly Palace. That would limit your talents."

Zhuang Yan also laughed, "No matter where I am, I will just wait for your Majesty's edict."

The Jade Emperor shook his head and said, "You are now a fourth-rank god. It will be difficult to advance any higher. Everyone has their own position. Who would be willing to move after the gods above have secured their seats? There is no other way but to release you to accumulate merits."

At this point, the Jade Emperor's expression became solemn, and he said to Zhuang Yan: "Zhuang Yan, I came here to ask you a question, just answer me truthfully."

Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "I will obey your order and answer truthfully."

The Jade Emperor asked, "Can you control the affairs of the human world?"

Zhuang Yan was startled when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty, the human affairs you are talking about seem to be more than just the affairs of human beings?"

"It also includes Taoism, Buddhism, various other religions, and the gods, demons, and monsters in the three realms," said the Jade Emperor.

Zhuang Yan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and replied, "Your Majesty, if it is the Great Awakening Golden Immortal, I can also subdue it."

The Jade Emperor was very satisfied with this answer and said with a smile, "There are only a handful of Daluo Jinxian in the entire Three Realms, and they are all as sacred as Taishang Laojun and Sakyamuni Buddha. These people will not interfere in human affairs. Even if they do, you don't have to deal with it."

Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "I understand. If that's the case, Your Majesty, I can handle this world!"

"Okay." The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said with a smile: "With your answer, I have an idea. I will tell you another piece of news. In a few days, the court meeting in Lingxiao Palace will pass the "Five Emperors' Prescriptions for Governance". At that time, the "God of Heaven" will govern the "Heaven", and the "God of Earth" will govern the "Earth". The authority of the human world will be handed over to the Five Great Emperors."

"Of course." The Jade Emperor's eyes fell on Zhuang Yan, and he smiled and said, "And you, I used the dispute between you and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King to banish you to the mortal world for today's matter. First I demoted you to a wandering god, and then I used the matter of 'Five Emperors' to appoint you to guard the mortal world, so that it is justified. Those people in heaven can't say anything, and the Five Mountains can't say anything either, and they dare not interfere."

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he first bowed to thank the Jade Emperor, and then asked, "Your Majesty, in this way, all the gods in the world will respect the Five Mountains as the most respected?"

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Yes, but it's not that simple. From now on, the Five Mountains will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Four Emperors. As for you, you will be directly under my command."

After that, the Jade Emperor said to Zhuang Yan: "Next, you must be prepared. The Heavenly Court will soon adjust the authority of the various divine offices and departments. You must be prepared to take on the heavy responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "I obey your order."

The Jade Emperor nodded and smiled, "Wait for the imperial edict from Heaven. It won't take many days."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jade Emperor's figure slowly disappeared and hid between heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yan immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I, Zhuang Yan, respectfully send you off."

The Jade Emperor's incarnation returned to heaven, and three days later, another court meeting was held in the Lingxiao Palace to discuss the memorial on "The Five Emperors' Prescriptions for Governance" again.

And this time, just as the Jade Emperor said, all the emperors and gods quickly reached a consensus, and even the Four Imperial Emperors no longer expressed their opposition explicitly.

Finally, the Grand Court of Lingxiao Palace passed the "Book of Prescriptions by the Five Emperors", which quickly caused a sensation in the entire Three Realms. The Heavenly Court also began to divide the authority between heaven and earth, and handed over all the power of the Heavenly Court in the human world to the Five Great Emperors.

From now on, the Five Mountains Emperors will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Four Imperial Emperors and will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Divine Sky Jade Palace.

Of course, what surprised the gods and immortals of the three realms the most was the Jade Emperor's imperial decree on Zhuang Yan. (End of this chapter)
