People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 277 The Heavenly Emperor and Queen Mother Sever Their Corpses Again, Two Quasi-Saints Shock the Primordial World!
Heavenly Court, Temple of the God of Fate.

Since the Heavenly Court is now functioning normally, Yang Xuan no longer needs to handle many of its affairs.

Furthermore, the method for condensing the incense-infused golden body still needs to be developed to perfect the path for the future.

As a result, Yang Xuan still doesn't know what has happened in the Heavenly Court and the Primordial World over the years.

Before heading to Zixiao Palace, he summoned the Heavenly Court's scout god to learn about the current state of the prehistoric world.

After some questioning, Yang Xuan gained a more comprehensive understanding of what had happened in recent years, and there were three things that concerned him the most.

Firstly, after gaining the support of the demon race, Lu Ya made a high-profile announcement to the prehistoric world that the sun star had always belonged to the demon race.

As the son of Emperor Jun and the last Golden Crow in the prehistoric world, he is the only candidate to become the Lord of the Sun Star. Anyone who dares to covet the position of Lord of the Sun Star will be making an enemy of the demon race and will face their wrath.

Regarding Lu Ya's high-profile declaration, some of the demon race's Great Luo Immortals directly expressed their opinions, while the four quasi-saints of the demon race all maintained a tacit attitude.

This incident indeed made many beings in the prehistoric world wary, causing them to abandon their plans for the Sun Star.

However, there were still some people who did not take Lu Ya's words to heart.

Moreover, this group of people are either in the late stage of the Great Luo realm or at the Great Luo perfection realm; they are all beings who are ready to sever their corpses.

If this had happened before the December corpse-slaying ceremony, they would most likely not have gotten involved in the Sun Star's affairs due to their fear of the demon race.

However, now that they know that stars can be used to sever corpses, becoming the Lord of the Sun Star is the key to their chance to become Quasi-Saints. How could they give it up so easily?

There is no fixed host, only those with the right fate will obtain it; this is the fundamental rule of the primordial world.

Since the end of the Lich War, the position of Sun Star Lord has been vacant, meaning the Sun Star is ownerless. Lu Ya could plot to seize the position of Sun Star Lord, and so could they!

The final result was that Lu Ya's high-profile declaration did indeed cause many beings to retreat voluntarily, but it also made him a common competitor of many Great Luo Immortals in the prehistoric world.

Lu Ya was right. As the last Golden Crow in the primordial world, he was indeed the most likely person to become the Lord of the Sun.

As long as he can be prevented from becoming the Lord of the Sun, then everyone else can compete fairly.

Under these circumstances, Lu Ya naturally became a thorn in the side of others, and now countless eyes are watching his every move.

Secondly, now that Lu Ya has severed his corpse with the Taiyin Star in December and become a Quasi-Saint of the Corpse, the demon race has once again asserted its power by taking advantage of Lu Ya's high-profile declaration, making the prehistoric world more wary of the demon race.

In addition, in previous years, the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court, following the guidance of December, found the demon races scattered throughout the prehistoric world, built corresponding temples, and used incense as a medium to provide protection for these demon races.

In recent years, the situation of the demon race has improved significantly, and they no longer have to live in fear as they used to.

The Heavenly Court played a significant role in enabling them to escape their previous predicament and for the situation to improve.

These demons weren't idiots. Without the protection of these celestial gods and immortals, their situation might soon return to what it was before.

Therefore, instead of abandoning them after they had served their purpose, their faith in the gods of Heaven deepened day by day.

Nowadays, the incense offerings provided by the demon race to the celestial gods and immortals are almost comparable to those offered by the aquatic creatures of the four seas!

It was precisely because of the demon race that the Heavenly Court's reputation was further enhanced, and more living beings witnessed the benefits of building temples and worshipping the gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court.

After conducting their investigations, these creatures also built temples in their respective territories in order to receive the protection of the celestial gods.

Otherwise, when fighting against an enemy force, if the two sides are evenly matched, but the other side asks for divine assistance, wouldn't that break the balance between the two sides?

To maintain this balance, the best option is to do the same as the other party and use the invocation of deities to ask for the assistance of the heavenly gods.

It is precisely because of this that, over the years, the reputation of the incense and deity path in the prehistoric world has grown, and it has become known to more and more people.

In the past, the people of the primordial world looked down on the incense and deity religion, considering it a heretical and unorthodox path.

Now, although they still feel that this way of worshipping gods and spirits is a heretical path and cannot be compared with the way of immortals, it is not without its merits.

By cultivating it as a dual practice, one can not only enhance their combat power but also increase their prestige, facilitating the expansion of their influence.

Since the Heavenly Court can build temples and collect incense offerings, can't they do the same?

Based on this idea, many beings in the prehistoric world came up with the idea of ​​building temples and spreading their faith.

However, they did not possess Yang Xuan's improved method for condensing incense into a golden body, nor did they have the method for invoking gods created by Yang Xuan.

Ultimately, after a series of attempts, there were basically two outcomes: either they had no choice but to give up.

Alternatively, they could only arrange for members of their tribe to reside in the temple after its construction, responding to the prayers of believers and providing them with protection.

In short, it will take several cycles of time for these forces to compete with the Heavenly Court.

However, there are some exceptions. In recent years, temples have begun to appear on a large scale in the West.

They used a supernatural power that was very similar to the ritual of invoking gods to provide protection for the creatures in these areas and to gather incense offerings.

However, the Heavenly Court's scouting gods could not find out the origin of these temples, nor were they sure which force built them.

After all, the West is barren, and its spiritual energy and opportunities are not as abundant as those in the Eastern Continent and the surrounding seas.

But the western region is no less large, and it is home to a large number of living beings, including many different races and factions.

The builders of these temples were unwilling to reveal themselves, and determining the identity of others from among numerous races and factions was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Thirdly, with the construction of the Heaven and Earth Bank, the Heavenly Court and the Underworld became the most unique forces in the prehistoric world. As long as one joins the Heavenly Court and becomes a righteous god, one can gain merit by performing divine duties. This is an advantage that even the Sage Sect does not possess.

Therefore, over the years, the Heavenly Court and the Underworld have become increasingly renowned in the prehistoric world.

Although they are not yet able to rule the primordial world and control the reincarnation of all living beings, the attitudes of the various forces in the primordial world toward the Heavenly Court and the Underworld have changed significantly.

No one dislikes merit, and joining the Heavenly Court and the Underworld means having a stable channel to gain merit.

Even if some powerful figures from major forces are unwilling to join the Heavenly Court due to pride, the younger generation in their clans do not need to worry about pride.

If they continue to look down on the Heavenly Court as before, do they really think their younger generations can join it? Don't even dream about it!
Nowadays, not just anyone can join the Heavenly Court!
Compared to when Yang Xuan first ascended to heaven, the Heavenly Court's review requirements have increased a hundredfold. Even so, every day a large number of beings still come to the South Heavenly Gate, wanting to join the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court, in its current state, does resemble the orthodox realm of the primordial era. Although the Heavenly Court's review requirements have been greatly increased, many beings still ascend to Heaven over the years.

Besides the Barefoot Immortal and Venus who were originally appointed by Yang Xuanshe, three more Great Luo Golden Immortals have joined the Heavenly Court since he last moved it away.

However, Yang Xuan had never heard of these three people in later generations.

But this is not a bad thing. At least it proves that the development trajectory of the Heavenly Court today is no longer the same as in later generations.

However, Yang Xuan was puzzled by the fact that one of them was a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

According to the reports from the immortals under her command, this Great Luo Golden Immortal was a female cultivator named Yue Lao. After ascending to heaven, she took the initiative to apply to go to the Marriage Palace.

Under her leadership, the Marriage Palace managed the marriage affairs of the human race in the Nine Provinces in an orderly manner in just tens of thousands of years, and the marriage rate and birth rate of the human race have been significantly improved.

Even Hu Xian'er, whom Yang Xuan brought to heaven at the request of Tu Shan Nu Jiao, became a disciple of this Matchmaker God a few years ago, and her cultivation has improved significantly. It is said that she now has the cultivation of the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

According to later records, the Matchmaker of Heaven should be an old man, but the Matchmaker of today is a female cultivator, which conflicts with the records of later generations.

Moreover, this female cultivator was simply called the Matchmaker, and after taking over the Marriage Hall, she made all the affairs of the Marriage Hall well-organized.

No matter how you look at it, this female cultivator's destiny and supernatural abilities are extremely compatible with the position of the Matchmaker, making her the best candidate for the Lord of the Marriage Palace.

"Could it be that the subsequent rumors were wrong, and that the Old Man of the Moon was actually a female cultivator?"

Yang Xuan nodded secretly, thinking that this was probably the truth. After all, the records of Kyushu in later generations were more than ten thousand times different, so it was not incomprehensible that the records of the Old Man of the Moon's gender were wrong.

However, Yang Xuan had already planned to take the position of Lord of the Marriage Palace.

Back in Qingqiu, Yang Xuan decided to train Hu Xian'er to become the mistress of the Marriage Palace, thus settling his karmic debt with Tu Shan Nu Jiao.

In addition, over the years, Hu Xian'er's likable personality and good relationship with Yang Xuan have made him even more determined to make Hu Xian'er the master of the Marriage Palace.

Now that a legitimate matchmaker has appeared, if Yang Xuan continues with his previous ideas, he will likely have to form some karmic ties with this matchmaker.

"It's alright. With my current power, arranging a good job for Hu Xian'er is no problem."

Yang Xuan smiled confidently. If the matchmaker proved with facts that she was the best candidate for the position of Lord of the Marriage Palace, then the position would be given to him.

Of course, if Hu Xian'er can do almost everything that the Old Man Under the Moon can do, then I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't give you the position of Master of the Marriage Palace.

Given Yang Xuan's current power and status in the Heavenly Court, even if he wanted to force Hu Xian'er into the position of the Marriage Palace Master, what could the Old Man of the Moon possibly say?
In the Heavenly Court, neither Haotian nor the Queen Mother had as much influence as Yang Xuan. Even if a Quasi-Saint joined the Heavenly Court, he still had to obey Yang Xuan's orders.

Unless the Old Man of the Moon is as special as the Supreme Lord Lao who will ascend to heaven in the future, and is transformed from one of the three corpses of a sage.

Just... is this possible?
The ascension of a sage to heaven by his three corpses is a momentous event that even the two rulers of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, must respectfully greet. How could it possibly be carried out in secret?

Yang Xuan shook his head and smiled. According to later records, the final form of the Heavenly Court was thirty-six heavens, not the current thirty-three heavens.

These additional three heavens were created by Laozi and the other three pure beings and their three corpses after they joined the Heavenly Court, using their saintly supernatural powers.

The Heavenly Court still has thirty-three heavens, so how could there be any saints ascending to heaven?

"Now that I have returned to heaven, it is time to grant them pardons and bestow titles. It would also be a good opportunity to see who this Old Man of the Moon is..."

However, just as Yang Xuan had this thought, a booming sound came from the ancient starry sky, and the Heavenly Court also shook violently.

Followed by.

A mysterious wave emanated from the ancient starry sky, instantly spreading throughout the primordial world, and the stars shone brightly at that moment.

This fluctuation is rare in the primordial world. Since Pangu created the world, it has only occurred a few times. However, many creatures in the primordial world have a deep impression of this fluctuation.

More importantly, it had happened once before, during the December corpse-cutting ceremony.

Upon sensing this fluctuation, countless creatures across the primordial world simultaneously looked up at the sky, exclaiming in surprise:

"A Quasi-Saint? Someone else has severed their corpse? How many years have passed? How come someone has succeeded in severing their corpse so quickly?"

"Could it be that something has happened in the primordial world that is helping living beings to sever their corpses?"

"No, no, this fluctuation only indicates that someone is dismembering a corpse, not that they have successfully done so. Perhaps..."

However, before the beings of the primordial world could think further, a mysterious fluctuation once again came from the ancient starry sky.

"Another one? In the ancient starry sky, there are two people performing corpse-severing? Could it be that these two are also using the Star Severing Corpse technique?"

This caused all living beings in the primordial world to become restless. Regardless of whether these two people could successfully sever their corpses, including December of that year, there were three people in a row who were severing their corpses.

This is something that might not even happen in the hundreds of Yuanhui in the past, but now it has happened three times in less than a Yuanhui. How could they not be surprised?
All the creatures that sensed this fluctuation looked up at the sky, hoping for an unprecedented miracle to happen.

Time passed second by second, and under the expectant gaze of all living beings in the primordial world, two mysterious fluctuations were heard from the ancient starry sky once again, accompanied by two 'humming' sounds.

However, this time it wasn't that someone else was dismembering the corpse, but rather that the two people who had dismembered the corpse earlier had successfully done so!

Followed by.

The ancient starry sky emerged in the primordial sky, and six figures rapidly magnified within it.

The six figures consisted of three men and three women, and the appearances of the three men and the three women were extremely similar.

"Haotian and the Queen Mother, how is this possible!"

The moment the beings of the primordial world saw these figures, they recognized their identities and exclaimed in surprise.

No one expected that the two people who were dismembered this time were actually the two rulers of the Heavenly Court, Haotian and the Queen Mother.

Moreover, this was not the first time these two had slain a corpse, but the second time.

This means that the two Heavenly Court rulers became one of the few Quasi-Saints with Two Corpses in the Primordial World at the same time!

PS: Today's figure is also 8,000.
