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

"Sure, you can arrange the time."

To Yang Xuan's surprise, Nuwa nodded after hearing his request and agreed to join the divine path.

Although the Divine Path now enjoys considerable fame in the prehistoric world and can be considered a first-rate force, it is even more so to the Buddhist sect, which can be called the enemy of the Great Dao.

However, after Nuwa attained enlightenment, she did not establish any power. When the demon race's heavenly court was destroyed, she did not intervene, and she did not even interfere excessively with the human race that she created.

To all living beings in the primordial world, Nuwa was solely focused on cultivation and truly had no worldly desires.

Even if it's just a nominal appointment, the chances of getting Nuwa's approval are slim. Yang Xuan initially approached it with a "let's give it a try" attitude; if it succeeded, great, but if not, there would be no loss.

In fact, Yang Xuan had prepared for failure, but he really didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Nuwa immediately nodded in agreement.

For Yang Xuan, this was naturally a good thing.

With the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, that's four saints in name only. Their status in the divine realm is so high that even if the two Western Saints returned to the prehistoric world, they wouldn't dare to use any dirty tricks against Yang Xuan or the divine realm.

"No, there might be more than four sages..."

Yang Xuan's eyes flickered. After bidding farewell to Nuwa, his true form took the Qiankun Cauldron to the underworld.

His evil corpse then came to the Taiyin Star to seek out December to comprehend the companion formation of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree, intending to integrate it into the Zhou Tian Star Array to further improve the array.

Looking across the entire prehistoric world, December is one of the few people who understands the Zhou Tian Star Array the most.

Furthermore, December is ruled by the Moon, and no matter how perfect or changed the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array is, the Sun and the Moon are the two most important main stars.

Yang Xuan's choice to seek out December to jointly comprehend and perfect the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array was the most reasonable one, and he truly had no other motives.

The accompanying array of the ancient star tree is also a grand star array, profound and extraordinary, and it shares some similarities with the Zhou Tian Star Array.
With Yang Xuan providing guidance, the two quickly entered into a deep state of philosophical discussion.

the other side.

After returning to the Netherworld, Yang Xuan's true form went to the Earthly Reincarnation Site and took out the Qiankun Cauldron.

"Your Majesty, the Goddess Nuwa is merciful. After learning about the problems in the Netherworld, she lent the Qiankun Cauldron to the Netherworld for its use."

"With the Qiankun Palace, the Yin-Yang Reversal Dragon Gate Formation can be set up, and our long-planned bloodline transformation and primordial creature migration program can begin."
"Your Majesty, when do you think would be the most appropriate time to begin this matter?"

You actually managed to borrow it...

Houtu was slightly taken aback when she saw the Qiankun Cauldron that Yang Xuan took out. The Qiankun Cauldron was a treasure in Nuwa's hands.

Even for a saint like her, borrowing the Qiankun Cauldron from Nuwa for a period of time was not an easy task, let alone getting Nuwa to lend it to the Netherworld for long-term use.

Houtu intended to personally discuss this matter with Nuwa, as she couldn't let Yang Xuan handle everything, especially something related to a sage.

However, Houtu was still unsure how to offer enough incentives to persuade Nuwa to lend her the Qiankun Cauldron.

She also knew that the bloodline transformation in the Netherworld and the primordial migration plan could elevate the status of humanity, which would benefit Nuwa's path.

But relying solely on this point, it's probably not enough to get Nuwa to lend out the Qiankun Cauldron.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan went to the Chaos for more than 200,000 years. When he returned, he first invited the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa to create the world, and then brought the Qiankun Cauldron back to the Underworld to solve this problem that had troubled Houtu for a long time.

This puzzled her greatly. How did Yang Xuan manage to do it? What promise did he make that made Nuwa agree to lend her the Qiankun Cauldron?

To her even greater surprise, Yang Xuan only mentioned the bloodline transformation and the primordial migration plan, and Nuwa agreed to lend the Qiankun Cauldron to the Netherworld without making any further requests.

"Could it be that Nuwa is easier to talk to? This matter isn't as troublesome as I imagined?"

Houtu was stunned for a long time, and could only attribute this to Nuwa's own personality.

I think that as long as it benefits Nuwa and the prehistoric world, even if someone else were sent, Nuwa would still agree. I guess...

Houtu didn't think much of it. In short, it was a good thing. With the Qiankun Cauldron, the Netherworld's long-planned scheme could finally begin.

The day when the Netherworld will rise to power is fast approaching!
“You know this better than I do. You can decide the specific time and details yourself. If you need me to take action, just call my name.”

Houtu had no intention of taking over command; it was more appropriate to leave professional matters to professionals.

Over the years, Yang Xuan has proven with his actions that he is the most professional person!

Houtu's best option is simply to follow orders.

In other words, Houtu was telling Yang Xuan that she, as his representative, was also under his command.

Yang Xuan naturally understood what Houtu meant, but he had no intention of doing it completely.

Firstly, the Yin-Yang Reversal Dragon Gate Formation, and the bloodline transformation and primordial migration plan, have been in preparation for many years.
Moreover, this matter is beneficial to the primordial world, so it's impossible for a Heavenly Saint or a Human Race Quasi-Saint to be so foolish as to come and sabotage it, thus eliminating the opportunity for Houtu, the Saint, to intervene.

As for those below the level of a sage...

It's not that Yang Xuan is arrogant; at the Quasi-Saint level, he really has nothing to fear!

Even against Styx, a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses, he was confident he could fight him, or at the very least, entangle him and make it difficult for him to escape.

Moreover, Styx, the strongest quasi-saint in the primordial world, is the sword in his hand!
Without a sage or a near-sage, no one can disrupt the bloodline transformation and the primordial migration plan.

Secondly, Yang Xuan wouldn't dare to command a saint. He was just a minor quasi-saint with two corpses. What virtue or ability did he have to command a saint, especially Houtu, the true representative of the earth?
However, Yang Xuan dared not do it, nor was there any need to do it, but asking Houtu for help was not out of the question.

Yang Xuan bowed to Houtu and respectfully said:

"Your Majesty, I do have a request."

"Oh? What is it? Tell me!" Houtu became interested. She wasn't afraid that Yang Xuan had no demands, but rather that he was indifferent to everything.

If Yang Xuan hadn't made any requests, where would she have gotten the chance to shine?

"That's right, the Sage Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Master of Heaven, and the Goddess Nuwa intend to join the divine path, to have their names listed there, and to be considered among the supreme gods with divine powers."

I would like to ask Your Majesty if you are also interested in having your name registered in the Divine Path.

"You can do anything!"

Houtu agreed to the matter without even thinking about it.

Just kidding, Yang Xuan is her man. Now that four Heavenly Saints are going to join the Divine Path, how could she refuse?

Yang Xuan was not surprised by this result. Among all the sages, Houtu had the best relationship with him. It was just a nominal position, and Houtu had no reason to refuse.

In this way, apart from Hongjun Daozu and the two Western Saints, all the known saints in the prehistoric world joined the divine path and became the supreme gods of the divine path!

Suppressing his excitement, Yang Xuan took a step forward, stepping out of the Underworld Reincarnation Site. He invoked the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, proclaiming his authority throughout the primordial world. His voice resounded throughout the three realms of the primordial world: "Beyond the primordial world, I am Yang Xuan, the Lord of the Divine Path. I hereby invite the Sage of Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Master of Tongtian, the Goddess Nuwa, and the Goddess Houtu to ascend the Divine Path as the supreme deities of my Divine Path, to be worshipped by countless beings!"

Wow——!
As Yang Xuan finished speaking, the entire prehistoric world erupted in chaos. Whether they were powerful beings with profound cultivation or cultivators who had just embarked on the path of cultivation, everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

"Five sages, this, this..."

Who would have thought that Yang Xuan, after only a few peaceful periods, would suddenly do something so significant?

Those are five saints! Even if you add Hongjun Daozu to the list, there are only eight saints in the entire prehistoric world.

Yang Xuan, on the other hand, invited five sages to take charge of the divine path at once. Isn't that a bit too unreasonable?

But is such a thing even possible?

These five saints do not share the same stance. Is it really possible for them to join the same power and become the five supreme gods of the divine path?

The answer is obvious: how could Yang Xuan do something he wasn't sure of?

It was simply too incredible for them to doubt, but in the next instant, they realized that since Yang Xuan dared to declare it to heaven and earth, it meant that the matter would definitely succeed.

What happened next confirmed their preconceived notions about Yang Xuan.

Five enormous and terrifying phantoms appeared in the sky, nodded slightly to Yang Xuan to show their attitude, and then disappeared.

But this is not the end, but the beginning!
With the five sages acknowledging Yang Xuan's declaration, the divine fortune surged at an astonishing speed, growing several times stronger in the blink of an eye.

The current divine fortune is in no way weaker than that of powerful forces like the Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan, and there are even signs that it may surpass them.

At the same time, influenced by the Daoist teachings of the sages, some rules of the prehistoric world are changing, and statues of the five gods are appearing in temples and picture books all over the prehistoric world.

These are the five supreme gods of the divine path: the Sage of Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Master of Tongtian, the Goddess Nuwa, and the Goddess Houtu!

At this time, many memories of the five supreme gods also appeared in the hearts of all Shinto believers.

These memories tell them that the five sages, including Taiqing and Yuanshi, are the supreme gods of the divine path, and that the divine path is the orthodox lineage of the primordial world with sages presiding over it.

Instead of treating believers as tools for reaping incense offerings, as is the case with Buddhism.

Such a change immediately caused a great uproar in the prehistoric world, and the believers in the divine path deepened their faith in the divine path.

The difficulty for Buddhism to poach these believers from the divine path has increased several times over, and this difficulty will only increase over time.

The numerous powerful beings and countless cultivators in the primordial world found it increasingly unbelievable.

Although they knew that Yang Xuan never did anything without being sure of success, the fact that Yang Xuan dared to announce it to the entire prehistoric world meant that Yang Xuan had already spoken to the five sages in advance, and that they only needed to follow the procedures.

But they only felt that Yang Xuan was promising some kind of benefit, perhaps the authority of the divine path, or something else, in exchange for the consent of the five sages, so that they could be nominally associated with the divine path, just to go through the motions.

Looking at it now, it seems that this is not just a simple matter of lending one's name to someone.

Even some of the rules of the primordial world have changed. The statues of the supreme god have appeared in temples all over the primordial world, and related memories have appeared in the hearts of all believers.

This doesn't seem like a mere figurehead position at all; it's clearly an endorsement of Yang Xuan and the divine path, a declaration to all living beings in the primordial world—

They're under the protection of the gods!

"Damn it! What virtue or ability does Yang Xuan possess that allows him to receive the assistance of a sage!"

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, including Tathagata and Dipankara, looked at the five figures that had disappeared in the sky with extremely grim expressions.

In the past, their most effective method against the Divine Path was that the Lord of the Divine Path was only a Quasi-Saint with two corpses, and was immeasurably far from being a Saint.

Buddhism is the lineage of sages, and its doctrines were created by sages. It goes without saying which is superior.
But now, this argument is clearly not as effective.

If we're really talking about sages, there are five in Shinto, even though these five sages didn't contribute anything to Shinto's doctrines.

But Shinto believers don't care about so much. They just ask: Does Shinto have five saints presiding over it? Does Buddhism only have two saints? Are five more than two?
This is an indisputable fact, and it concerns a sage. The Buddhist community would never dare to fabricate such a story and must acknowledge it.

If they want to wrest believers from the faith in the future, they will have to come up with a new narrative.

Regardless of the explanation, the divine path spread first in the prehistoric world, giving it a first-mover advantage. Now, with five sages presiding over it, the future propagation of Buddhism will undoubtedly be fraught with difficulties.

The flourishing of Buddhism was ordained by Heaven, but just as they saw the opportunity for this prosperity, they encountered all sorts of troubles.

Today, even the most basic thing like preaching is difficult, and there is an enemy that must be taken seriously.

"Yang Xuan, this man is an enemy of our Buddhist sect!"

The Buddha's face was extremely grim. Upon careful reflection, it seemed that Yang Xuan was responsible for all the obstacles on the road to the flourishing of Buddhism.

A hundred schools of thought contended, and Yang Xuan was among them.

Confucius established the teachings, and Yang Xuan was the deputy leader of Confucianism.

The divine way flourished, and Yang Xuan became its master.

These three things are precisely the culprits that hindered the flourishing of Buddhism. As a direct participant in these three things, or even the one who plotted them, Yang Xuan is none other than an enemy of Buddhism!
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism wished they could kill Yang Xuan and suppress him in the Western Paradise.

But they could only think about it; they couldn't do anything about it.

We definitely can't win if we fight.

Even if you try to call for reinforcements, you'll most likely still lose.

After some thought, they could only swallow their anger and change Buddhist doctrines again. They dared not continue their idea of ​​a rapid expansion of Buddhism.

It's better to be down-to-earth and proceed step by step to be more prudent, so as not to let the gods take advantage of any loopholes.

Now, Buddhism has no advantage over Taoism. If Taoism were to launch an attack on Buddhist doctrines at this time, Buddhism would suffer heavy losses.

The Buddhist sect chose to endure, and the prehistoric world once again entered a relatively peaceful period of development, without any major disturbances.

Ten thousand years later, two mysterious fluctuations appeared in the celestial realm.

Such fluctuations were rare in the past, especially after the Lich Wars, but in recent years they have become much more frequent.

Many powerful beings in the primordial world were surprised when they sensed this mysterious fluctuation.
