Three days later, King Qi returned to the Spirit Palace of the Divine Temple.
The huge palace was deserted, only a few witches were setting up the incense burner table, offering sacrifices to the gods of the eight directions. King Qi first offered incense to the gods, then went to the Hall of the Rain Master.
The Rain Master's faith was a Divine Path faith that had risen in recent years, but its origins could be traced back to ancient times. Thus, the Rain Master's status was extremely high, only below the Heavenly Mother, Yuanshan Duke, and some other ancient gods.
King Qi came to the front of the hall and ordered, "Guard the entrance!"
He entered the hall alone, but before he could clearly see the decorations inside, he was immediately sucked into the mysterious space by a stream of water light. This place was hazy with mist and brilliant radiance. There was a boundless heavenly river in the sky. At every moment, the power of incense was transformed into light and absorbed by the God Realm. Then, it became the divine power of the Rain Master and appeared in the Heavenly River. This was the special God Domain where the Rain Master's incarnation gathered the faith of Xuanzheng Chau.
There was a white jade palace with dragons and phoenixes carved on it in the center of the divine territory. Qiao Yuan was at the door to greet him. "Qi King, my fellow cultivator asked me to invite you in."
The two of them walked into the Tianhe Palace and saw the Rain Master leaning over the table, writing at a great speed. Beside him was a boy holding a treasured fan and an incense burner, attending to him. As for Mr. Xun, he was flipping through the Daoist scriptures in a corner.
Qi Wang entered the hall. The incarnation of the Rain Master raised his head and put down his red brush. "You must have made up your mind?"
"Exalted Master, I am willing to enter the Immortal Dao!" King Qi's voice was sonorous and forceful, filled with an indomitable determination.
"Alright, then I'll guide you on the Dao of Immortal Ascension." Rain Master beckoned for King Qi to come forward. The Prince of Qi stole a glance at the document on the table. On the left side, there were two words, 'Seal of the Gods'.
"This must be the Heavenly Book that confers the Gods?"
Just as he was thinking, the Rain Master took the red brush and pointed it at his forehead. The Qi of the Black Dragon entered the space between his brows. King Qi immediately felt a mysterious energy supporting his body, his forehead heating up as a warm current flowed through his body. His mind became even more energetic than before.
"I'll bestow upon you the Dragon Qi. The sooner you complete your great cause, the sooner you can obtain the immortal book I left behind in the Rain Master Temple in the outskirts of the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty. "
In the past, the Kang Emperor had conferred the title of Rain Master, and Rain Master had left behind a heavenly book for the Kang Emperor, using the twenty-four solar terms to cultivate Dao.
"Your opportunity is here. With the Heavenly Book that I left behind, you can achieve the Dao Fruit of the Ground Fairies and establish a Blessed Ground Fairies Residence."
The incarnation of the Rain Master told him about the profound mysteries in detail and had Qiao Yuan send him away. He lowered his head and continued to study the information on the gods, checking to see if he could enter the Godly Records.
Not long after, Qiao Yuan returned. The Rain Master immediately sent him out and gave him a list of names. "The gods of Qi Land have been recorded. Go and take a look at the places where these gods are. Record their daily behavior and whether they are qualified to continue to be gods and protect a region. "
As he spoke, he crossed out an Evil God who fed on the blood of young boys and girls all year round. At the same time, a thunderbolt struck down from a temple a thousand miles away, shattering the statue in the temple and reducing the fate of the gods there.
"Not good!" The god statue collapsed, and a wisp of black smoke scuttled out in a panic. It stared at the divine lightning in bewilderment. The god there was a snake demon who usually did all kinds of evil. Now that the Rain Master's Heavenly Thunder had shattered his Godly Title, it had directly reduced his cultivation by a hundred years!
"D * mn it! It's the Rain Master's doing!" The snake demon thought about it and went to find his friends nearby to discuss it.
Mr. Xun frowned, but he was confident in his strength and wasn't worried about the snake demon coming to find the Rain Master for revenge. He continued to listen to the Rain Master's instructions to Qiao Yuan.
The Rain Master needed Qiao Yuan to get the information on all the gods in the world for the general principles of the Path of Divinity. Then, he would make a judgment based on the behavior of the gods. They could either retain their authority or seize their Godly Titles. Of course, they could also confer titles and bestow other Godly Titles.
Qiao Yuan went out to run errands. The Rain Master once again copied down the eight pieces of information on the gods that he had reviewed and passed it to the two boys beside him. "Qiao Yuan will do the initial investigation, and you will do the review. Go to these places and see if the gods are of the same virtue and behavior. "
After the two boys agreed, they used the "Golden Light Technique" bestowed by the Rain Master to investigate.
Looking at their backs, the Rain Master wrote their names on the Heavenly Book and listed them in the Heavenly Division.
Mr. Xun stood up and looked at the desk.
"What? Is there a problem? "
"It's nothing. It's just that you're not afraid of being talked about in the future because of nepotism?"
"The two of them patrol the gods, so they should have a Divine Mandate in the first place. Besides, it's just a Mortal Realm Deity. Don't worry about it. "
The Divine Title granted by the Rain Master was the God of Day and Night. He was responsible for inspecting the actions of the gods and the people during the day and night.
"If the two of them can help me with this, the hard work they've accumulated over the past few years will be enough for them to become gods. If he couldn't do it well, he would hand it over to someone else. After all, the Underworld has made corresponding arrangements for the position of the Day and Night Wandering God. "
In the Impermanence Division, there were deities who patrolled day and night. Even if the Rain Master didn't go through with the selection process, the Underworld would take the initiative to report and fill in the corresponding quota.
After half a day, Qiao Yuan returned, travel-worn, and gave the information he had gathered to the Rain Master.
"Fellow Daoist, the information is here. Some deities did not work and only collected faith instead of performing their duties. There were also some who often blessed the land and used the art of enlightenment. "
After the Rain Master looked through it, he crossed out the names of some deities.
Seeing that, Qiao Yuan wanted to say something but stopped.
"If there's anything, you can just say it."
"Fellow Daoist, you've taken away the records of these deities. I'm afraid there will be people coming to seek revenge in the future. It's not good for the unification of the Qi Kingdom. Besides, it would be hard to find someone to fill the empty Divine Mandate, right? "
"It's inevitable that there will be karma. Otherwise, why would the Goddess let me do this? Why would I waste 3,000 years in the mortal world? If they were willing to seek revenge, I could just send them away. Running to the rebel king to oppose me and obstructing the unification of the Qi Kingdom, there will be the Five Poisons Shenjun to deal with them later. If Shenjun wants to be the Master of the Fire Division, how can he not work? As for the empty Divine Mandate, there will be plenty of people later. " The Rain Master laughed coldly. "There were many Immortals who died in this killing calamity. There were also loyal people in the mortal world and heroic warriors. Just randomly find a few people and they can be promoted to the Divine Path and fill in the corresponding Divine Mandate. Continue to search for information on the deities … "The Rain Master gave him another list and sent Qiao Yuan out.
After another six hours, the two boys hurried back to report. After informing the eight deities of their character, the Rain Master muttered to himself and secretly spoke to Peng Shaoyu. He retrieved information from the Netherworld for the past 100 years to verify them one by one. In the end, only seven deities were recorded in the Heavenly Book and the last person was eliminated.
Mister Xun saw how complicated it was for him to use a day to settle on seven deities. He sighed and said to himself, "I have to admit that this fellow is really trying his best."
Anyone who was recorded in the Heavenly Book was a righteous deity with great fortune.
However, this action was not recognized by the deities.
As the deities of mountains and rivers were eliminated one by one, their Divine Mandates were scattered and their fate was reduced. They all rushed to Qi to demand an explanation.
Although Yuan Shan Gong's status as an ancient Mountain God was not affected, a few of the Mountain Gods under him were demoted by the Rain Master. After losing their Divine Mandates, they became normal spirits, which made the old Mountain God unhappy. He took advantage of the situation and dragged the Five Poisons Shen Jun to the Spirit Temple to seek justice.
In a moment, the cold temple became lively as hundreds of deities gathered.
The Rain Master sat upright, with Mister Xun and Qiao Yuan standing on either side of him. The two boys hid behind him, not daring to show themselves.
Yuan Shan Gong, the Five Poisons Shen Jun, and a few other Earth Level Shen Jun sat on either side of the Rain Master. Seeing the aggressive manner of the deities of mountains and rivers, the Five Poisons Shen Jun couldn't help but feel a headache. He said to the Rain Master, "Old friend, why are there so many objections from the deities when you are reviewing the records of the deities? Is there some kind of misunderstanding? "
Sweeping his gaze across the deities, the Rain Master smiled. "You've all come at the right time. Since you're all here today, I'll give it to you. Since you are all here today, I will explain the process of apotheosized deities. "
His expression turned solemn as he cupped his hands at the sky and took out the Six Alloyed Books. "I have received the Goddess's decree to determine the Six Paths of God. There are three processes. First, walk the mountains and rivers and collect the corresponding deities of each temple. As long as the deities have temples and altars, they can enter the scope of the preliminary examination. Then, according to the deities' daily behavior, they will be judged whether they can continue to enjoy incense. After all, in the future, this Heavenly Book will be passed through the hands of the Emperor of Humanity and be stamped with the Jade Seal and Gold Seal. They will be recognized by humanity as the God of Heaven and Earth. "
The God of Heaven and Earth and the God of Humanity will be the God of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Immortals, demons, demons, and ghosts will not dare to offend them. They will enjoy a thousand years of luck and will not decline.
"After the preliminary examination, there will be a review. If some of the deities pretend to deceive the preliminary examination, they can still be found in the review. "
The Rain Master looked at the deities who had been cheering happily. "Everyone, during the preliminary examination, you noticed traces of Qiao Gong and deliberately ordered the villagers to be careful with their words. Did you think you could hide it just like that? "
He threw out a stack of documents. "These are the hundred years of records that I got from someone in the Underworld. The vengeful spirits that you killed that day are still waiting in the underworld! Do you want me to send someone to bring them here for a confrontation? "
The expressions of the deities suddenly changed and they became anxious.
Five Poisons Shen Jun picked up the documents on the ground and passed them to the other deities after reading them.
After reading all the records of the Underworld for the past hundred years, a deity commented, "Lord Rain Master is really thoughtful. He even found the confessions of the dead residents of the Underworld. A hundred years of vicissitudes naturally cannot be secretly tampered with. Yuan Shan Gong, take a look. "
Yuan Shan Gong took a look and saw that there were confessions of several mountain deities secretly suppressing dissidents when they were apotheosized in the past. His face darkened and he directly slapped the monsters who had their deities removed to death and closed his eyes to rest.
"Then … then why are there no deities of the Fire Tribe? It's all our Earth Tribe's deities' fault? Mountain Palace, he clearly doesn't take you seriously. " The horse-headed deity hurriedly said, "Is it only our Earth Tribe's deities who do evil and the other deities don't?!"
Yuan Shan Gong remained silent after opening his eyes and only looked at the Rain Master.
The Rain Master was not in a hurry and took out the documents he had prepared earlier. "The deities of the Heaven Tribe are at least Human Realm deities. Their incense spreads over a wide area and are not subject to blood sacrifices. The deities of the Fire Tribe are partial to human sacrifices and value the incense of the people more. They have a better relationship with mortals. "
Five Poisons Shen Jun and the other deities of the Fire Tribe nodded in agreement. Most of them were upright deities who protected their homes, so of course there was no need for blood sacrifices.
The Rain Master continued, "The deities of the Underworld have always upheld justice, so there is no big mistake with the supervision of the Ghost Kings. The King of Man's line enjoys the protection of the Dragon Energy. In the future, before the King of Man is unified, the deities of Da Hong's line are not included. Currently, no deities of the Human Tribe have entered the Heavenly Book. So after some calculations, the deities who do the auditing are mostly from the Earth Tribe and the Water Tribe. Also, the deities who commit the crimes are not from the Earth Tribe near the cities. Instead, they are located in remote areas where the law is out of reach and blood sacrifices and human sacrifices have not been abolished. Only in these places are there many deities who commit evil. "
After the Rain Master finished speaking, the deities exploded again. They all criticized the Rain Master for being too harsh and not giving them a chance to change.
Yuanshan Gong couldn't help but say, "Rain Master, these people didn't know the laws of the gods in the past. The laws of our Divine Dao aren't that detailed. If the law is out of reach, how would they know the taboo of blood sacrifices? Look, shouldn't we give them a chance? "
"That's right, that's right! We didn't know in the past, but we will change in the future! "
The deities' auras gathered and secretly pressed down on the Rain Master.
Five Poisons Shen Jun wanted to make a move but was stopped by a few deities who were close to him.
The deities were already unhappy that the Heavenly Mother had ordered an immortal to be in charge of this matter. Now, criticizing him for being too harsh was just an excuse. The key was to snatch the right to the Spirit Concentration Book. At least, they had to send their own people in to monitor the Rain Master's actions.
Seeing the aggressive deities, the Rain Master was annoyed. 'It's a pity the Heavenly Eagle Staff isn't here. Otherwise, how would these people dare to be so impudent?'
The news of Imperial Concubine snatching the Heavenly Eagle Staff has already been spread among the evil deities. These deities came to surround the Rain Master's Palace. It was this news that gave them courage.
At this moment, a golden eagle spread its wings and flew over from the outside world, landing on the Rain Master's shoulder.
Seeing the golden eagle, the Rain Master suddenly smiled. The deities who were pressuring him at the side thought, 'This is not good.'
The Rain Master suddenly stood up and shouted, "I am investigating the Divine Path on behalf of the Heavenly Mother. I only found a few evil deities for blood sacrifices, and you came to make trouble. Do you not care about the words of the Heavenly Mother? " The Rain Master waved his hand, and the golden eagle turned into a staff and knocked forward. A golden light swept away the God Wheels behind all the deities, and they fell out of the Rain Master's Palace. Only Yuanshan Gong, Five Poisons Shen Jun, and the others were still standing quietly in the palace.
The Heavenly Mother's divine weapon was actually so powerful?
Although the deities were still standing in the palace, they felt a sharp aura pressing down on all the deities. If the Rain Master was willing, he could sweep all of them out!
"I heard that he was surrounded by evil deities and thought that the Heavenly Eagle Staff couldn't protect him. I didn't expect the divine power it contained to be so strong."
Yuanshan Gong's face turned pale, and he immediately dispelled his thoughts. He was about to speak.
At this moment, a dragon's roar suddenly sounded. A dragon-like guard of honor arrived outside the Divine Realm and escorted the two Dragon Marquises into the Empyrean River Palace.
At some point, a woman quietly walked into the line of deities and observed the visit of the Dragon Marquises.
"The Dragon Marquises of the East Ocean Dragon Palace? From their actions, they seem to be harmless to Senior Brother? "
Five Poisons Shen Jun and the others had no choice but to welcome the two Earth Realm Dragon Marquises visiting the Rain Master.
"Fellow Daoists of Middle Earth, there is no need to be so polite." The golden-robed Dragon Marquis on the left laughed loudly. "Speaking of which, the two of us were also from Middle Earth."
The deities looked over, and Five Poisons Shen Jun seemed to remember the two's identity. He said to the Dragon Marquis on the left, "You are … the previous Well Dragon King?"
"That is me." The Dragon Marquis said calmly, "My brother and I represent the dragon race to apologize to the Rain Master. We are willing to honor you as the leader of the water division."
Leader of the water division? What about the Well Dragon King of the dragon race?
Seeing the dragon race's stance, the deities were in an uproar.
The Dragon Marquis continued, "Her Highness is arrogant. She went against you this time because she blamed you for not being willing to marry into the Dragon Palace in the past. That was why she deliberately obstructed you. Now that you have won by a small margin, you are naturally the leader of this water division. In the future, you can give the position of the Well Dragon King to whoever you want. "As he spoke, the Dragon Marquis took out a golden seal and handed it to the Rain Master.
The Rain Master pondered for a moment before smiling. "I have nothing to disagree with the Eldest Princess being the Well Dragon King. As long as she can negotiate with King Qi and get him to issue a decree to confer the title, I will be happy to see it happen. As long as the position of the chief god of the water division is with me. "
The Dragon Marquis beside him also said, "I have a descendant in Middle Earth. It was all thanks to you that he was able to become a god. He is in charge of the responsibilities of a water god. Please take care of him in the future. "
When the woman in the crowd heard that, she was enlightened. It was Zhao Liangyue?
Zhao Liangyue was a water god that the woman had saved when she was traveling with Qing Hong in the past. He had the bloodline of the dragon race.
The two Dragon Marquis expressed their stance one after another. Jin Ping and Yuan Hao, the two earth level water gods, rushed over.
Since when were there so many earth level deities?
The gods were shocked. They stood up again to welcome the two of them in.
After Jin Ping entered, she said directly, "The two of us are the gods of the Cloud Pool Underwater Abode. On the way here, we have already destroyed the temples and underwater abodes that worshipped the water gods. "
As soon as she finished speaking, many water gods in the hall revealed looks of horror. They immediately realized that they had lost connection with the cave abode.
"You —"
"What about you! You do not support the righteous path and cause trouble. What right do you have to be gods? " After Yuan Hao finished speaking, he bowed to the Rain Master from afar. "The two of us are willing to raise the army of the Cloud Pool Underwater Abode to help the Rain Master clean up the river channels, pacify the world, and ascend to the position of the supreme leader of the water division."
If the Eldest Princess of the dragon race was the Well Dragon King, she controlled the underground water system under the continent. Then this couple would attack the various rivers and lakes on the famous mountains and great lakes to determine the position of the Lord of Yin Water.
And these two groups of people respected the Rain Master. It was equivalent to all the deities of the water division worshiping the Rain Master. His status was equivalent to that of a deity.
The gods looked at the four divine dragons in silence. After a long time, Yuanshan Duke finally spoke. He stood up and bowed to the Rain Master. "In the future, the deities of Yuanshan will be in charge of the six divisions of the divine path. We, the deities of Yuanshan, will have no more complaints!"
Five Poisons Shen Jun stood up and bowed to the Rain Master. Fates gathered above his head, gradually forming an illusory Divine Deity Karma Rank.
