I am a fairy in Journey to the West

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Four Emperors announced that the "Five Emperors' Book of Governance" had passed the court, and adjusted all the gods involved in the "Five Emperors' Governance" in court.

First of all, the Five Mountains Emperors were no longer under the jurisdiction of the Divine Sky Jade Palace or any other heavenly departments, but were directly placed under the jurisdiction of the Four Imperial Emperors.

Secondly, Mount Tai was moved east to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the Tianqi Divine Palace of Mount Tai was established. It was in charge of the power of rewards and punishments, nobility and inferiority, and the underworld in the human world, and was the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Hengshan is located in the southern continent, and governs the Nanyue Hengshan Sitian Temple, in charge of the authority of the gods in charge of rivers, lakes, seas, and beasts.

He moved west to Xiniu Hezhou in Mount Huashan and established the Jintian Temple of the Gods at Mount Huashan, in charge of metallurgy, casting, feathers, and other matters.

Hengshan moved north to Beijuluzhou, and established the Hengshan Andian Divine Palace, which was in charge of the division of the celestial bodies and the human world.

Songshan was moved to Buzhouyuan, the center of the world of Yanfu, and the Zhongtian Temple of Zhongyue Songshan was established, which was in charge of the power of the gods over land, mountains, rivers, and forests.

The Five Directions Ghost Emperor's Divine Palace must also move with the Five Mountains Divine Palace to their respective continents, and serve as the deputy emperors of the Five Mountains, assisting the Five Mountains Emperor in governing the affairs of the world.

After dividing the powers of the Five Great Emperors, the next step was to make arrangements for the human world.

Since the Five Great Emperors are in charge of all the affairs of the three realms and the human world, the Human World Department is no longer needed and should be abolished accordingly.

The Taixuan Zhenfu and Renjian Department were abolished. Except for Xuandu Zhenjun, Wenshi Zhenren and Xuji Chongying Zhenren, all other immortal officials were transferred to the Wuyue Shenfu.

The former Shangqing of the Human World Department, Xuandu Zhenjun, was changed to the 'Minister of Ziwei Palace' to assist Ziwei Emperor.

The former Shaoqing of the Human World Department, Wen Shi Zhenren, was changed to the 'Grand Secretary of the Grand Palace' to assist Emperor Gou Chen.

The former Shaoqing of the Human World Department, Xu Ji Chong Ying Zhenren, was changed to the 'Shangshu of the Sheji Palace' to assist Hou Tu the Great Emperor.

True Lord Xuandu, True Man Wenshi and True Man Xuji Chongying were in the hall, and they accepted the imperial edict and expressed their gratitude in court.

This time, the adjustments made to all the departments and personnel of the Divine Palace were all horizontal transfers. No one was promoted and no one was demoted.

After the Four Imperial Emperors had adjusted all the departments of the divine palace, they submitted their orders to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, then raised his hand and waved it gently. The Four Emperors immediately bowed and then returned to their honored seats and stood still.

Afterwards, the Jade Emperor spoke up and said, "From now on, all the gods in the heavens will be headed by the Jade Palace of the Divine Sky and the Jade Palace of the Divine Thunder, each with their own duties and in charge of the affairs of the heavens. The gods in the earthly realm will be headed by the Palace of the Five Mountains, each with their own duties and in charge of the affairs of the earthly realm. The Jade Palace of the Divine Sky, the Jade Palace of the Divine Thunder, the Palace of the Five Mountains, and the 'Heaven and Earth Gods' Palaces of the Heavenly Court are all under the overall control of the Four Great Emperors. Without the will of the Four Great Emperors, the gods in the Heavenly and Earth Gods' Palaces are not allowed to interfere with each other, and are not allowed to overstep their authority. Violators will be punished according to the laws of heaven and will be severely punished."

Upon hearing this, all the emperors and gods bowed their heads and said, "We obey your order."

The Jade Emperor extended his hand to help the gods, who then stood up. The Jade Emperor said, "In addition to the Five Sacred Mountains, I will set up another sacred palace in the human world, but I will not increase its rank."

When the gods heard this, they bowed and faced the Jade Emperor, as if they were listening to his orders.

Then the Jade Emperor said, "Now the world is undergoing a great change, the gods are divided, and there is a danger of the Xuanxian catastrophe getting out of control. I want to add a new divine palace to echo the Five Mountains Divine Palace and guard the world on my behalf."

Hearing this, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun immediately stepped out of the immortal group and bowed, "Your Majesty, please be merciful. However, the gods of heaven and earth now govern the heavens, and the gods of earth govern the earth. I wonder which immortal Your Majesty would like to appoint to the important position of guarding the human world?"

The Jade Emperor asked with a smile, "Do you have any good people to recommend?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think the person who guards the human world must be selected from the gods in the human world. He must have the ability to shock the three realms and the rank of an official who can convince the people."

At this point, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun immediately recommended: "I think this person should be Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun without a doubt."

As soon as Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun finished speaking, Dong Wanggong, Xiwangmu, Dou Mu Yuanjun and the gods from Shenxiao Jade Palace and Shenlei Jade Palace all agreed, saying that Erlang Zhenjun was definitely the best choice.

When the Jade Emperor saw that 60% of the gods in the hall thought that Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun was suitable, he immediately smiled and said, "It seems that Erlang Shen is also the one that everyone wants."

Then the Jade Emperor turned to the Nine Heavens Thunder God and asked, "My dear, what do you think of Erlang Shen?"

Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun walked out of the immortal group holding a jade sceptre in his hand, bowed to the Jade Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I think Er Lang Zhen Jun is not suitable for this position."

"Oh?" When Lei Zu said this, there was a burst of surprised voices in the hall.

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun asked, "Daoyou, do you think that Erlang Zhenjun is not capable of guarding the human world?"

Lei Zu replied: "With the practice of Erlang Zhenjun, it is more than enough for him to guard the human world, but I want to ask you, fellow Taoist, Erlang Zhenjun can guard the human world, but can he guard those 'three religions and ten directions'?"

"This..." Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun was stunned for a moment, and after a moment's silence, he bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, my recommendation just now was not well-considered. Please allow me to take back my advice."

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Yes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun bowed and thanked him, then returned to his seat in the immortal class with the jade scepter in his hand.

Immediately, the Jade Emperor looked at Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun and said, "My dear, do you have anyone to recommend?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Zu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Lingtai Zhenjun Zhuang Yan. First, he was demoted to the mortal world by Your Majesty for his mistakes and became a wandering earth god. He belongs to the 'earth god' series. He will open a palace to guard the human world on behalf of Your Majesty. The Five Mountains Divine Palace has nothing to say."

"Secondly, Lingtai Zhenjun has great magical powers and his Taoism is even higher than Erlang Zhenjun. This is well known. If he guards the human world, he will be able to suppress the three religions and the great virtues of the ten directions."

"Third, Lingtai Zhenjun was promoted by Your Majesty, and has little causal connection with the three religions, so he can act freely and impartially."

Finally, Lei Zu concluded: "Therefore, whether from the perspective of 'Taoism strength' or 'worldly wisdom', Lingtai Zhenjun is the best choice. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

After listening to this, the Jade Emperor could not help but nod his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "Your words are very reasonable and very much in line with my opinion. They coincide with my opinion."

At this point, the Jade Emperor asked in a clear voice: "What do you think of Lei Zu's words? Or do you have anyone else to recommend? Please tell us."

The gods were speechless when they heard this. You said it yourself, Lei Zu's words "coincide" with yours. It is obvious that Zhuang Yan has been appointed. What else do we have to say?
So all the gods bowed in unison and said, "We second your opinion. Lei Zu's recommendation is very reasonable."

The Jade Emperor smiled upon hearing this and said, "Since all the ministers agree with Lei Zu's recommendation, then this matter has been decided. Zhuang Yan will take my place in guarding the human world." Having said this, the Jade Emperor immediately said to Xu Xun, one of the four great celestial masters, "Draft an order."

Master Xu Tianshi immediately spread out the jade scroll and golden book, and stood up with a red brush in his hand, waiting solemnly.

The Jade Emperor said, "Remove the post of Lingtai Zhenjun Zhuang Yan as the wandering god, and appoint him as the 'Great Sima of Human Fortune' to guard the fortune and destiny of the human world on behalf of the heaven. Set up the 'Fude Zhenfu' in the human world and he will be directly under me. All matters can be reported directly to me. The original Yuji Zhenjun Mansion in the first heaven will be abolished, and all personnel will still belong to the new 'Fude Zhenfu'."

Master Xu quickly wrote down the article, then presented the imperial edict to the Jade Emperor for his review.

After the Jade Emperor read it and confirmed that the content was correct, he called out, "Taibai Jinxing, you should take this edict immediately and go to the lower world to pass on the order."

Taibai Jinxing immediately stepped forward to receive the imperial edict, bowed and said, "I accept your order."

"Venus, wait a minute."

Just when Taibai Jinxing was about to go down to the mortal world to deliver the imperial decree, Emperor Wenchang suddenly stopped him.

Taibai Jinxing stood still and looked back at Emperor Wenchang. He saw him holding a jade sceptre in his hand, stepping out of the immortal group and bowing, "Your Majesty, I, Emperor Wenchang, report this edict to you. There is something wrong with it."

The Jade Emperor asked, "What's wrong?"

Emperor Wenchang said, "Your Majesty, this edict only conferred the title of Lingtai Zhenjun, but did not specify the duties he held. It is a bit vague and unclear. Should it be made clearer?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor said, "His duty is to protect the blessings and good fortune of the world on behalf of the heavens. What is unclear about this?"

Emperor Wenchang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think the responsibility of 'guarding the blessings and good fortune of the world on behalf of the heavens' is a bit vague. I wonder what specific matters it governs?"

The Jade Emperor smiled faintly and said, "Well, Master Xu, you can add eight more words to the edict."

Taibai Jinxing quickly brought the imperial edict to the table in front of Xu Tianshi and spread it out. Xu Tianshi picked up the alchemy brush and said to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, please tell me, what are the eight words?"

The Jade Emperor said: "Guarding on behalf of the Heaven, there are no taboos."

Xu Tianshi's pupils shrank and his expression suddenly became serious, but he quickly returned to normal and immediately added these eight words to the edict.

The Jade Emperor looked at Emperor Wenchang and said, "My dear, you understand now."

Emperor Wenchang came back to his senses from his shock, then bowed and said, "I understand." After that, he returned to the immortal group.

All the emperors and gods in the hall were shocked and filled with envy.

The eight words "Guarding on behalf of Heaven, no taboos" have made Zhuang Yan's authority very clear. He can do whatever he wants in the world, and all his actions are legal and approved by the Jade Emperor.

As long as the Jade Emperor doesn't speak, Zhuang Yan doesn't need to explain to anyone anything he does in the world. He is only responsible to the Jade Emperor.

In Taixuan Mountain, the Five Great Emperors of the Mountains and the Five Ghost Emperors have ordered people to set up a fairy banquet to entertain all the righteous immortal officials who came to participate in the "Conference of the Gods' Governance".

Fine wine, delicacies from land and sea, fairy fruits on white jade plates, and delicacies in golden cloud bowls.

At this time, the banquet was already full of gods, and even Erlang Shen from the Southern Continent came to the banquet with the Six Saints of Meishan and Roaring Sky Dog.

There were also the Immovable Buddha of the East, the Ratnasambhava Buddha of the South, and the Amoghasiddhi Buddha of the North. All three Buddhas came to the banquet with their disciples to congratulate.

Don’t worry about what the Five Great Emperors’ purpose is or what they want to do in the future. This is a good thing right now, so it’s right to congratulate them.

Because the news that the Heavenly Court had approved the 'Five Emperors' prescription' had already been passed down, now they just had to wait for Taibai Jinxing to come and convey the order.

After an unknown amount of time, a golden cloud floated over the top of Taixuan Mountain. The golden cloud stayed above the sky of Taixuan Mountain and then fell straight down towards the main peak of Taixuan Mountain.

At this time, Bixia Yuanjun immediately stood up and brought a group of immortal officials from Dongyue Divine Palace to greet them. Soon, they welcomed Taibai Jinxing to the jade platform where the main seat of the immortal banquet was located.

As soon as Taibai Jinxing arrived, he took out the Jade Emperor's edict. Immediately, the Five Great Emperors of Mountains, the Five Ghost Emperors and all the gods, immortals and Buddhas present stood up and walked down. They stood upright and looked at Taibai Jinxing, not daring to show the slightest bit of laughter or rudeness.

Taibai Jinxing began to read the imperial edict from heaven granting the "Five Mountains to govern" the world. After the reading was completed, the Five Mountains Emperors knelt down in thanks and then stepped forward to receive the imperial edict.

All the immortal officials present were smiling happily, especially those from the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Palace, including Bixia Yuanjun, Bingling Gong and others, all of them had happy faces and could not stop laughing.

The three Buddhas, Erlang Shen and other great gods and immortals came forward to congratulate. Even though they were as noble as the Five Sacred Emperors, they could not hide their joy at this moment and bowed to thank everyone.

Afterwards, the Five Mountains Emperor invited all the gods and immortals to take their seats, and also invited Taibai Jinxing to sit down and have a feast.

But Taibai Jinxing bowed to the Five Mountains Emperor and thanked him, then said with a smile: "It's not that this old minister is unwilling to congratulate the emperors here, but I have a mission to convey the order to Lingtai Zhenjun."

"Oh?" The Five Mountains Emperor was stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked at Taibai Jinxing.

Erlang Shen at the side asked with a smile: "Jin Xing, why don't you tell me what you want to convey to Lingtai Zhenjun?"

Taibai Jinxing smiled and said, "This is a public matter. Since Master Erlang has asked, I will tell you."

Then Taibai Jinxing informed everyone that Zhuang Yan was conferred the title of "Great God of Fortune and Blessings on Earth" and was given the power of "guarding on behalf of the Heaven, with no taboos" by the Jade Emperor himself.

After hearing this, the three Buddhas looked at each other, and all the immortals and great virtues were also extremely shocked.

But what was particularly shocked were the gods of the Five Sacred Mountains. The smiles on their faces quickly disappeared and became extremely serious.

Only the Five Mountains Emperor and the Five Ghost Emperors looked calm and continued to invite the gods to take their seats with a smile. However, if one looked closely, one could still see a hint of solemnity in the eyes of the Five Mountains Emperor.

Taibai Jinxing quickly bid farewell to the Five Mountains Emperor, rode on the golden cloud, and headed straight to Qingping Mountain to pass on the emperor's orders. (End of this chapter)
