My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 476 Go quickly and invite Li Wei to establish the country! Of course, it's to read the Spring and Autumn Annals!
night!
East China Sea Dragon Palace.

Ao Xuan was mobilizing the aquatic creatures of the four seas to prepare for war when a wave of drowsiness suddenly washed over him. So he quickly ended the war preparation meeting and returned to his palace to sleep.

"Heavenly Dao, you're looking for me?"

Tiandao 7.20 asked somewhat anxiously, "[The Heavenly Court's main target this time is you. Are you confident you can withstand the Heavenly Court's attack?]"

Ao Chen's expression immediately changed: [So they really came for us?]

As gods, they are completely transcendent and are not easily influenced by mortals.

But don't forget,

Gods are called gods because they control various systems of laws. If you don't have the support of a system of laws, you are at best just a slightly stronger mortal.

For the law system to function, corresponding law base stations must be deployed in reality!

Therefore, these law base stations are the source of the gods' power! The more base stations there are, the more things the law system influences, and the more power can be borrowed from heaven and earth!
Taking the dragon race as an example,
Throughout history, they have built a total of 170 million law base stations in the Three Realms.

But after they lost their dominant position and submitted to the Heavenly Court, at least half of the law base stations were either directly dismantled or transferred to other gods of the Heavenly Court.

In addition, the Heavenly Court suppressed it for seven consecutive versions.

Today, the Dragon Clan has less than 30 Law Base Stations left, and the vast majority of them are concentrated in the four seas of the human realm, especially in the East Sea.

Once the Heavenly Court breaks through the Dragon Clan's defenses in the human realm and storms through the East Sea, it can also destroy the Dragon Clan's last law system base station. At that time, the Dragon Clan gods will lose the support of the laws and truly become meat on someone else's plate!
Thinking of this, Ao Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Success and failure both stem from the laws of nature!"

Although we true gods have gained immense power through the system of laws, we are also bound by it, and are thus bound to these mortals.

Whether in the era of the Investiture of the Gods, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, or the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms War" in the later stages of the Journey to the West, wars in the mortal world have always been the decisive factor in determining the life and death of gods!

Losing the war in the human realm is tantamount to handing over your own law system base station to others. At that time, even if you are a Great Luo Golden Immortal, you will not be able to stop the wolf pack from hunting you down.

Ao Lie's expression grew increasingly solemn:

No wonder the scouts said that the Heavenly Court has mobilized at least hundreds of billions of cultivators this time, and they are gathering in the South China Sea!

[It seems the Heavenly Court intends to use the South China Sea as a route to invade the heart of the East China Sea Dragon Clan!]

With our current dragon forces, we're afraid we'll have a hard time defeating the Heavenly Court! Once the Heavenly Court breaches our defenses, the dragon race's law system bases in the human realm will be in grave danger!

Tiandao7.20 asked helplessly, "Can the Buddhist sect, the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, or the Blissful Demon Land offer you any assistance?"

[It's probably very, very difficult!]

The Heavenly Court, possessing control over five continents in the mortal realm, has an incredibly terrifying war potential to mobilize!

Based on previous communications with the Buddhist sect, the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, and the Nine Saints Heretical Paths, all anti-heaven forces are currently suffering suppression and attacks from the Heavenly Court. Even if they wanted to help the Dragon Clan, they probably couldn't do much.

Moreover, they might even be hoping that the dragon race would fight to the death with the Heavenly Court!
If the dragon race is defeated, then everyone can directly divide up the dragon race.

If the Heavenly Court loses, that would be even more wonderful, and everyone would celebrate with champagne for the Dragon Clan.

Ao Chen gritted his teeth and said, "If all else fails, we'll just move our entire clan to Mount Ling. Then, using the Western Desert and the Western Sea as defense lines, we'll rebuild the Law System base stations!"

The Buddhist sect is currently lacking in merit and fortune, so the dragon clan seeking refuge is like a godsend, exactly what they want. The Buddhas should not refuse them.

After a long silence, Tiandao 7.20 suddenly said: "Go find Li Wei; he is my quasi-emperor! Make him establish his quasi-emperor in the East Sea. That way, I might be able to find a way to protect you."

what?
Li Wei is actually the emperor of the Heavenly Dao Quasi-Emperor Kingdom?
Ao Shen hadn't expected that guy to have such an identity, so he immediately asked in surprise: "But didn't he accept the test of conscience from Puhua Tianzun and stand on the side of the Heavenly Court?"

[Hehehe! Have you forgotten the hidden Heavenly Authority I gave Li Wei? With this power of law, the methods of the Universal Celestial Venerable may not be able to affect him.]

[Moreover, Li Wei hasn't become a god yet; his will hasn't been corrupted by the divine authority of the Heavenly Court's gods! For him, loyalty to the Heavenly Court and loyalty to the Heavenly Way may not be contradictory!]

You won't be wrong about the Heavenly Dao on July 7.20th!
That kid is definitely not on the same side as the Heavenly Court!

This time, as long as He makes enough promises, Livy will definitely be willing to help them.

[That damned Elder Qingling, trying to use the Dragon Clan to force me to reveal the secret of the Great Calamity, is that it? Once my quasi-Emperor establishes his kingdom in the East Sea, I'll see what kind of expression you have on your face!]

【Ha ha ha ha! 】

After a moment of silence, Ao Chen finally asked a question: "Even if Li Wei is still one of ours, he has already been transferred to the Lord of War's army as a military clerk. It's impossible for him to have come to the East Sea to establish a kingdom without anyone noticing!"

The Heavenly Dao 7.20 said with profound meaning: 【I know Taibai Jinxing too well! If I'm not mistaken, there's only one reason that old guy risked being shrouded in the Great Calamity to summon Li Wei!!】 【So, if you send someone here next, you should be able to wait for Li Wei!】

Tiandao 7.20 provides an address.

Ao Shen's pupils immediately contracted.

[Guanjiangkou? 】

Is this the mouth of the Guanjiang River?

After crossing a range of mountains, Li Wei finally entered the largest granary in western Zhongzhou, Tianfu Granary, and saw the terrifying, surging river.

Before they even got close to the mouth of the river, countless chaotic forces of law surged from the water, making Li Wei's hair stand on end.

Upon closer inspection, the great river in the distance was filled with traces of war from the ancient primordial era. All sorts of deadly techniques based on laws had not yet dissipated and still shrouded the land of Tianfu, forming a terrifying pollution of laws.

Heavenly Dao 0.81 looked around curiously and said in an excited tone:
In the primordial era, the world was originally one. Later, due to the struggle for supremacy among many ancient races, the primordial world was forcibly divided into five pieces, which led to the five continents of the human realm we know today.

[And Tianfu County, where Guanjiang Estuary is located, was the core area of ​​the ancient battlefield!]

At least four dominant powers once clashed here, with one of them even being completely annihilated in the war, its existence erased from history, leaving not even a name behind! Only ruins like Sanxingdui remain, bearing witness to their past glory!

With the fall of the overlord, the southwestern part of the entire primordial world was shattered into two pieces. One piece drifted towards the Western Sea, becoming today's Western Desert Sand State, and the other drifted towards the South Sea, becoming today's Southern Toad Demon State.

The area where Tianfu County is located has been corrupted by the deadly attacks of countless ancient gods in battle, and shrouded in the lingering resentment and curses of the erased overlord force, gradually turning it into a dead land.

[Until the Investiture of the Gods ended and the Heavenly Court was established, the first Heavenly Emperor finally began to restore order to the land! Therefore, during the process of enfeoffing various kingdoms, he specifically dispatched countless gods and cultivators to Tianfu Prefecture to govern it, and finally, little by little, the pollution of the primordial era was removed.]

Later, during the tumultuous Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the Qin state, in its quest for supremacy, dispatched the brilliant strategist Li Bing to construct the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. This successfully diverted water from Sichuan, cleansing the land of its pollution and transforming it into the Land of Abundance.

Based on this, the Li family gained immense merit, and the Dujiangyan Blessed Land and the Guanjiangkou Grotto-Heaven became rare blessed lands in the Three Realms, accumulating a great fortune.

Unfortunately, the calamities of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were far too terrifying. The great god Li Bing perished early, and no one else in the Li family ascended to godhood. Thus, the Guanjiang Estuary Grotto-heaven ultimately fell into the hands of the second Heavenly Emperor!

[According to rumors, the Second Heavenly Emperor was Yang Jian's maternal uncle! Furthermore, Yang Jian had already made great contributions during the Investiture of the Gods, and was only one step away from becoming a Great Luo Immortal. Therefore, the Second Heavenly Emperor entrusted him with the opportunity to become a Great Luo Immortal at Guanjiang Estuary!]

Unfortunately, the second Heavenly Emperor perished in the great calamity, and Yang Jian, for some unknown reason, also became disillusioned with the Heavenly Court. He returned to Guanjiang Estuary for seclusion after the Heavenly Dao 3.0 era, thus becoming the Erlang Shen, a man who obeys orders but not summons.

Li Wei asked with some surprise, "Where did you hear so many secrets?"

【Of course, I'd read the Spring and Autumn Annals! Master, you have no idea how many historical secrets that old sage Confucius has hidden in his mind. Give me a little more time, and I'll definitely empty his brains!】

Saying,

The Heavenly Dao 0.81 system then enthusiastically ventured into the treasures of Confucius to chat with him.

Li Wei smiled slightly, slowly walked to the riverbank, and, sensing the lingering pollution of the laws in the water, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as he said:
"After seven versions of governance, the pollution of the laws in Tianfu County has not disappeared. Is this the war of overlords in the ancient primordial era?"

what about now?

The Heavenly Court, now in the new version era, is the only dominant force in the entire human world. Especially after seven versions of development, it is probably much stronger than the overlords of heaven and earth in the primordial era.

The Buddhist sect, the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, the Nine Saints Heretical Paths, and the Dragon Clan are all formidable opponents. If they were to unleash their full power, could the Three Realms withstand it?

Even if we can withstand it, how much time will it take to manage it in the future?

"Wouldn't it be better if there were no gods in this world?"

But gods are the crystallization of desires. If there were no gods, wouldn't all living beings in the world be without desires?
A world without desire
Perhaps it's just another hell.

Li Wei shook his head, dismissing the thoughts in his mind: "Let the true gods worry about their affairs. My most important task now is to find the entrance to the Guanjiang Estuary Cave."

So he began to head towards the entrance of Guanjiangkou Cave Heaven, based on the coordinates given to him by the Lord of War.

As they walked, things continued...

A fishing line suddenly and silently descended from the sky, hooking onto Li Wei's clothes, and then was slowly pulled.

A swipe!
Li Wei disappeared into the river without even uttering a sound.
