The battle of the seas wasn't a one-off battle. Like a mortal calamity, it needed decades to settle.
During this time, Ji Feichen cultivated in the underwater palace, experiencing the Celestial King's life.
To the Celestial King, decades were like days, just a snap of the fingers. He and the youth had fought many times in the past five years, and both had wins and losses. But with the advantage of the underwater palace and the seas, he didn't get the Heaven Light Sword back.
In the past five years, the situation in the four seas had changed. Shui Huan's faction fought steadily, and had already taken down three water kingdoms in the Guang Guang Sea Region.
Seeing this, the Black Anemone Dragon King was anxious. "You two, do you have to fight among yourselves? Can't you take back the Soap Wind Sea first? "
"Victory or defeat isn't the work of one city or one lake. If we can't take down the entire Soap Wind Sea, it's useless. To deal with external threats, we must first pacify our internal affairs. Let me fight a thousand miles away and obtain the Xuanzheng Domain first. " The old dragon king of the Guang Guang Dragon Palace didn't care about the damage to the three water kingdoms, and said cheerfully to Shui Huan Dragon Queen, "Sister-in-law, if I take over the waters of Xuanzheng, can I ask your faction to move to the Soap Wind Sea Region?"
"Win a thousand miles away? Why are you making it so complicated? Isn't it just letting your continent's immortals attack our Xuanzheng Chau? "Shui Huan said in disdain." Why are you making it so complicated? With your Guang Guang Continent's trash, you want to fight our Xuanzheng Chau's Xuanzheng Gate? "
It wasn't that Shui Huan was arrogant, but she was very confident in the celestial path of Xuanzheng Chau. Don't look at the fact that more than thirty Heaven Immortals had left. The celestial path was weak, and the demon path only had a few. But if they really mobilized, just Guang Guang Continent? Did they deserve it?
The dragon king stood on the dragon throne of the Soap Wind Continent, and said casually, "Guang Guang Continent can't, but with the people of the Soap Wind Continent and the helpers that Guang Dragon King contacted from other continents, we can gather about a hundred Ground Fairies. Oh, I heard that even Qing Xu Continent was alerted? "
"Hmm?" Shui Huan looked up at the Dragon King.
The Dragon King said dismissively, "Those immortals in the Soap Fenghai tried to sneak in. I saw that they were weak and didn't want to bother with them, so I let them go with the Qianguang Continent. Let's see if they can take down the Xuanzheng Chau Immortal Dao by uniting people from all the continents. "
"This –" Shui Huan stared at the Dragon King. Seeing the Dragon King nod slightly, she had no choice but to temporarily suppress her worries.
He wasn't worried about the Qian Guang Continent, but if he added the Soap Wind Continent and the Qing Xu Continent, it would be hard to say.
…
Xuanzheng Chau. Without the obstruction of the Demonic Sect, the unification of Da Qi would be very simple.
After the death of the Emperor and Empress, although a prince escaped and ascended to the throne again, the jade seal was lost. The Great Hong Imperial Dynasty could no longer resist the Great Qi Dynasty's attack.
In five years, Da Qi unified the world. With the help of the Daoist Sect and the Divine Path, it wiped out the rebellious kings in the north, suppressed the barbarian kingdom in the south, and unified the world.
The current Emperor, the former King of the Underworld, dragged his exhausted body and slowly walked into the harem.
With the unification of the world, there were many things waiting to be done. He had too many things to deal with. The most important thing now was the Great Sacrifice of the Gods.
Walking into a side hall of the harem, Concubine Qiong hurriedly put down the jade scroll in her hand and came out to welcome him. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Seeing those jade scrolls, the Emperor asked, "Have you deciphered them?"
"Yes, almost, but there's still the last one that hasn't been released. That's why Master Li came to preach. "They were referring to the 24 jade scrolls that the Emperor had taken from the Rain Master Temple.
These were the cultivation techniques that the Rain Master had left in the human world, and they were the key to the Emperor's Dao.
"You have to be quick. I don't have much time left to rule the human world. I have to build my foundation as soon as possible to prevent the Divine Path from pursuing me. At that time, you can also regain your freedom. "
The Emperor looked at Concubine Qiong. Concubine Qiong wasn't his true consort. Instead, after he had conquered the old capital, a woman in the city had come to the main camp alone. She had offered the Heirloom Jade Seal as a condition to ask him to treat the people well.
Feeling this woman's courage and meritorious service in presenting the jade seal, he had been conferred the title of County Madam.
Later, when the Emperor had seen her struggling to make a living with her two children, he had decided to let her stay by his side. Then, after a series of twists and turns, he had welcomed her into the harem. However, the two of them had always treated each other with respect. Other than taking care of her two children, Concubine Qiong burned incense and prayed to the gods every day.
Until the Emperor had asked Li Jingxun to help explain the Rain Master Scripture. Due to the misunderstandings between men and women, the concubines in the harem had to pass the scripture on his behalf. In the end, the Emperor had decided on Concubine Qiong.
Staring at the tired Concubine Qiong, the Emperor spoke again, "You've always been cautious after entering the harem. This time, you've helped me interpret the Rain Master Scripture. I intend to bring your two sons along with me when I confer titles on them tomorrow morning. "
Hearing this, Concubine Qiong hurriedly shook her head. "Your Majesty, they're not your blood descendants. How can you confer titles on them? I've already been criticized for bringing my sons into the palace, let alone conferring titles. "
"After all, they're my adopted sons."
"It's because they're your adopted sons that we can't do this. We can't confuse the law." Concubine Qiong said, "When Your Majesty returns to the mountains to cultivate in the future, I'll leave with my sons. I won't stay in the palace."
Since Concubine Qiong was determined, the Emperor could not say anything else. Thus, he brought up another matter. "Now that the Deity Ritual is being held, we need a witch to preside over it. I'm worried about others. If you're willing, you can be in charge of this matter as the Deity Mother Temple's disciple. "
The reason why Concubine Qiong was included in the harem was because of her special identity. She had cultivated in the Deity Mother Temple in the early years and was blessed by the gods. In addition, she had welcomed the emperor and resolved the conflict, so she was popular among the people. Vaguely, there were rumors that she had the fate of a phoenix.
However, the Emperor was obsessed with the Celestial Dao and wanted to pass on the throne. Thus, his younger brothers had a plan in mind. Left with no choice, the Emperor had included Concubine Qiong in the harem and warned his younger brothers to pass the throne to their young sons.
"Conferment? The six main gods? "
"That's right."
Concubine Qiong thought about what Li Jingxun had said a few days ago and said thoughtfully, "If that's what Your Majesty wants, I'll preside over the ceremony as the Deity Mother's spiritual lady."
Three days later, Concubine Qiong dressed up and came to the Spirit Temple to preside over the ceremony.
A deep bell echoed in front of the solemn Deity Palace.
There was a Rain Master Hall not far away. Concubine Qiong looked over and vaguely saw the flickering light in the Rain Master Hall.
She bowed in the direction of the Rain Master Hall and led the descendants of the gods to the main hall for the ceremony.
The path was 33 feet long and had 18 steps. There were auspicious images of dragons and phoenixes carved on it. There was a specially built Dragon Path in the middle of the steps for the gods to walk on. On both sides of the tunnel, there were thirty feet tall fire towers burning with raging flames. At dawn, the tunnel was illuminated as if it was daytime.
Concubine Qiong led the group forward from the side and vaguely heard the crisp sound of a ring being worn. He turned his head and looked around. The cloud path beside him was filled with auspicious clouds and mist. There were blurry figures walking towards the main divine hall.
"Don't look around! That's a sign of the gods' arrival. "Concubine Qiong heard Li Jingxun's warning. She quickly composed herself and led the way.
There seemed to be a lot of neatly dressed Divine Officials standing under the fire towers. They quietly stared at the witches in the corridor.
The Deity Mother, Yuanshan Duke, Rain Master Deity, Drought Demon Deity — all the gods recognized by the Imperial Court had their own witches. However, these witches were dressed differently. Some wore red dresses, some wore yellow robes with purple belts, some wore green robes, and some wore pure colored witch robes. They held golden scrolls and jade archives in their hands and slowly walked towards the main hall at the end of the path.
On the long path, the witches were uneasy at first, then relaxed, and finally expressionless. They let go of all distracting thoughts and sensed the presence of the gods.
As a witch of the Deity Mother, Concubine Qiong sensed the elegant divine power that appeared in the main hall.
"The gods have arrived!" Concubine Qiong knelt down first and the witches behind her followed. Waves of pure telekinesis rushed into the main hall and lit up the sky.
In the sky above the main hall, auspicious clouds and seas formed by divine power gathered. The gods gathered and silently watched the ceremony below.
A god sighed faintly. "After this ceremony, the difference between us gods and humans will be decided."
Concubine Qiong was a witch of the Deity Mother, but because she had once held the Imperial Jade Seal, she was also a spiritual woman favored by the people dao. The Emperor had asked her to preside over the ceremony. Another reason was to separate the Divine Dao from the human dao.
The passing of the gods was a foregone conclusion!
"The Great Hong Imperial Dynasty was disrespectful to us gods, and now the Great Qi is not treating us well either." Some gods were dissatisfied. They had tried their best to suppress the evil gods and help the Great Qi rule the world. However, the Great Qi's first ceremony directly cut off the faith of the gods and gave the right to interpret the faith to the Imperial Court.
The major events of the country were worship and military.
Now that the Great Qi had unified the world, they had the right to worship the gods. Although they did not have the intention to establish a supreme god court like the previous dynasty, they still restricted the various gods. They registered the witches and witches of the temples to prevent the temples from raising private armies. They also established the Divine Dao Division to manage the temples and monitor the actions of the witches and temple priests. They were not allowed to use the name of the gods to do whatever they wanted.
It was true that Concubine Qiong was a witch of the Deity Mother, but she was also a concubine in the harem. This was the first step to merging royal power with divine power!
Five Poisons Shen Jun smiled bitterly. "After all, the Great Qi was established by the gods. They naturally have to prevent the next dynasty from overthrowing them with our help. This is expected and reasonable, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. "
The gods supported the Great Qi so that they could peacefully live for a few hundred years. However, from the looks of it now, the actions of the gods would probably be restricted by the Human King. Their situation was not much better than the previous dynasty.
The Deity Mother was very open-minded about this. "At the beginning of the human dao, the gods enlightened the human race and nurtured it to become stronger. Like their own children, they watched the human race reach this stage. Since the children have grown up, the mothers should learn to let go. "
Chen Ning looked at Concubine Qiong leading the witches to carry out the sacrifice and said thoughtfully, "The Divine Dao enlightened and taught all living things. After the gods and humans lived together and separated, will it be the time for the gods and humans to part ways? "
"No, it's just the difference between the human dao and the gods. The human dao will walk a new path and no longer need the support of the gods. But the gods are the Great Path and involve all aspects of heaven and earth. As long as the mortals still have their feet on the ground, they need to respect the mountains, rivers, and earth. As long as they still long for the wind and rain, they can't be disrespectful to the gods. The gods won't die out, but they will exist in another form. They will enter the civilization of the mortals and will no longer be afraid. They will become the symbol of civilization and become part of the inheritance of the human race. "
"At the moment, the Great Qi just doesn't want the gods to directly interfere with the operation of the human dynasty. It's still far from the last step of the human dao's prosperity. "The Deity Mother was very knowledgeable and had personally nurtured many worlds. She naturally understood the ultimate achievement of the human dao. The Deity Mother smiled and said, "Since that's the case, we will watch the human world from outside and quietly watch the changes. Qiao Yuan, Li Jingxun, the two of you will follow the path of Qing Hong. Have you finished compiling the Six Harmonies Golden Book? The human world is offering sacrifices to the gods and sealing the heavens. We should also discuss the results of the Divine Dao these past few years. "
