This method should be effective, but it doesn't solve the root of the problem. The True Dragon of Providence presided over the Sacred City, guarding the fate of the country and patrolling the world. It could be done once or twice, but it couldn't be done every time. That would be unrealistic. The True Dragon of Providence was the foundation of the country, so it couldn't be used easily. "The True Dragon of Providence can be suppressed once or twice, but not for long. This is a temporary solution. We must come up with a long-term solution. "
Yi Tianxing shook his head and said.
It was quite troublesome to deal with spiritual energy living beings.
"There's another way. I've cultivated the Dragon Slaying Art. Once the Heaven and Earth Spirit Veins give birth to intelligence, they will break away from the shackles, soar into the sky, and turn into dragons. I can use the Dragon Slaying Art to slay dragons and slay dragons. I can destroy the will contained in the Spirit Veins and finally restore the Heaven and Earth Spirit Veins."
Liu Bowen said after thinking for a while.
He had a supreme Theurgy that could slay dragons. However, this Theurgy had great karma. Once the Spirit Veins turned into dragons, one would have to bear the karma from heaven and earth. The Spirit Veins turned into dragons, which was equivalent to the son of Heaven. How could they not bear the monstrous karma after killing them? The consequences were quite terrifying. The Dragon Slayer would definitely die a horrible death. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would be willing to use the Dragon Slaying Art.
In history, Liu Bowen didn't have a very good ending. A large part of the reason was that he had used the Dragon Slaying Art and eventually suffered the karma of heaven and earth. It was difficult for him not to have a tragic ending.
"What's the taboo about the Dragon Slaying Art?"
Yi Tianxing frowned slightly and looked at Liu Bowen.
He also thought of Liu Bowen's experience in history and knew very well that slaying a dragon would inevitably cause a backlash. That kind of backlash was so powerful that it could instantly kill the caster, and even cause their lives to be incomparably miserable.
"The Dragon Slaying Art does have a taboo, and the best time is when the Heaven and Earth Spirit Veins really turn into dragons. There are too many Heaven and Earth Spirit Veins in Da Yi. If I really slay a dragon, I'm afraid I can't do everything."
Liu Bowen shook his head and said.
"If that's the case, it'll take too long, and Da Yi won't be able to endure such a long time of exhaustion. Moreover, since the Dragon Slaying Art is taboo, it cannot be used easily. "Yi Tianxing shook his head. Compared to the Dragon Slaying Art, Liu Bowen was more important. Nothing could compare to talent.
"Holy King, I have an idea that might be useful."
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment before stepping forward and saying.
"Kong Ming, please speak."
Yi Tianxing nodded and said.
"I once read an ancient book. According to legend, the Heavenly Court conferred a large number of Earthly Gods, Mountain Gods, Earth Gods, River Gods, and City Gods. The earth only has the ability to suppress the Spirit Veins of Heaven and Earth. In the area under its jurisdiction, it should have the ability to suppress the Spirituality in the Spirit Veins and ensure that Da Yi will no longer be affected. "
Zhuge Liang said slowly.
Earthly Spirits had the ability to regulate the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Deities naturally had corresponding abilities. Suppressing or even obliterating the spirituality contained in the Spiritual Qi might not be a difficult task. Of course, it was still unknown whether it would succeed or not.
"Conferring the title of Earthly God is not appropriate."
Xi Zhicai frowned slightly and said, "In Da Yi, everyone cultivates and only respects the sages and ancestors of the human race. They do not worship immortals, gods, or Buddhas. They believe in themselves and constantly strive to become stronger. Everyone is like a dragon and does not rely on the illusory gods. If we confer the title of Earthly God, we need to build temples and have human citizens worship them. This will hinder the beliefs of the people of Da Yi, and the consequences will be unthinkable. "
If praying to the gods was useful, then why would the people work hard to become stronger? If praying to the gods was useless, then what was the point of having gods? Da Yi pursued the principle of everyone being like a dragon and constantly striving to become stronger. This was countless times better than praying to the gods and Buddhas for protection.
This kind of thing could not be relaxed. Once it was opened up, no one knew what would happen next.
Never challenge the natural inertia of the human race.
Those who harbored such thoughts would not have a good ending in the end.
"Otherwise."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I naturally know that the appearance of the Earthly God will affect Da Yi. However, these effects can be minimized. For example, if we don't build temples for the Earthly God, we cannot start worshipping people in Da Yi. The conferred Earthly God can directly obtain the power of faith from the officials of Da Yi and receive worship. This way, we can greatly reduce the influence on the people of Da Yi and make it easier for Da Yi to control every inch of the land. These Earthly Gods are only a part of the official system of Da Yi. Conferring the title of Earthly God is not a god. This way, we can eliminate future troubles. "
Without building temples, the Earthly God could only rely on Da Yi to provide the power of faith and worship. At most, they would rely on another system above Da Yi. Helping Da Yi manage its territory and tidy up the spirit veins of heaven and earth was one of their duties.
"Moreover, now that spirit energy is living and all things have spirits, it is most suitable to confer Earthly Gods. If these Earthly Gods enter the Investiture of the Gods, they can beat them down to the mortal world at any time. It is also to make up for Da Yi's control over its territory. After all, the wilderness outside of Da Yi is too vast. It is difficult for human cultivators to penetrate deep into the wilderness. The land with the Mountain God is a better choice. It can extend the prestige of Da Yi into the wilderness. It will not be completely out of control and without eyes and ears. "
Zhuge Liang continued.
It was obvious that he had thought through everything when he proposed it, and only proposed it after careful consideration.
It was not an unintentional loss.
"If that's the case, it is not impossible."
Xi Zhi heard this and nodded after thinking for a while.
As long as the people of Da Yi didn't worship them, their salaries would be directly given by Da Yi. After being conferred, they could even control their fate at any time. This was another transformation and strength of Da Yi. It would enrich the system of Da Yi.
"Minister Liu, do you think Kong Ming's proposal is feasible?"
Yi Tianxing nodded and asked.
"Reporting to the Holy King, we can give it a try. This method does not cause any loss to Da Yi, and it can also improve Da Yi's control over its territory. It is naturally a good thing. However, we can confer the title of Mountain God and Earth River Earl, but there is no need to confer the title of City God."
Liu Bowen also expressed his agreement. Putting everything else aside, it would not be wrong to give it a try. It would not cause much loss. Instead, it would strengthen the system of Da Yi. At that time, the territory of Da Yi would be as unbreakable and indestructible as an iron bucket.
Unshakable.
"Other than these, is there any other way?"
Yi Tianxing asked again.
No one had ever seen a situation like this with spirit energy, and no one could predict the impact it would cause. Every step had to be carefully verified and deliberated.
When the officials heard this, they all put forward various suggestions. However, these suggestions were rejected after being discussed in the hall. They were either not feasible or had their limitations.
"In that case, I will first try the method of conferment to see if it will work in the current situation. If it works, it will naturally be a happy ending. If it doesn't work, then we will think of another way." Yi Tianxing finally made a decision.
As he stretched out his hand, a Shenguang fell from the void. In the Shenguang, it was the Conferment of the Gods.
The front side conferred titles to the officials, and the back side conferred titles to the gods.
"Order to gather the spirit energy of rivers and mountains in the Sacred Court of Da Yi."
The Conferment of the Gods flew up and appeared in the sky above Xuanhuang Castle. Boundless divine light burst forth as the voice of the imperial edict spread across the entire Dayi Realm, enveloping all five realms. Every living being could hear it.
Almost as soon as the edict fell, every river, every mountain, and every stretch of wilderness in the five domains within the Great Change Realm saw traces of Mountain and River Qi fly into the air out of nowhere. They rushed into the void and quickly gathered towards the Investiture of the Gods. The process was very beautiful and shockingly fast. It was as if billions of fireflies were gathering toward the void.
"What's going on? It's the voice of the Holy King."
"That's the Conferment of the Gods. Why is it absorbing the spirit energy of the mountains and rivers?"
It wasn't just the spirit energy of the mountains and rivers, it also contained the essence of the mountains and rivers.
.....
In the Hydra base, how could such a big movement in Da Yi be hidden from them? Naturally, they already knew about it. After knowing about it, their expressions changed slightly.
"Absorbing the spirit energy of the mountains and rivers, and using the Conferment of the Gods to do so. The purpose is not simple. He wants to use the Conferment of the Gods to suppress the Spirit Veins of Heaven and Earth. "
Green Robe muttered to himself.
"No, this is not right. Could it be that Da Yi wants to become a god?"
A trace of horror flashed in Red Robe's eyes, and a thought emerged in his mind.
"How could Da Yi dare to do this? Becoming a god is not something that can be casually conferred. At the same time, it also consumes Da Yi's luck. In the long run, it will be a huge burden. Gods need incense and the Power of Will. Where does Da Yi get so much Power of Will to worship? "
White Robe said with a slight frown.
Conferring a god consumed the luck of a nation. This was also one of the reasons why all the dynasties were unwilling to confer a god on a large scale.
"Amazing. This Da Yi is indeed not simple. He won't be easy to deal with. He can actually confer a god and wants to use the power of a god to suppress the Spirit Veins of Heaven and Earth. Old Green, if he does this, will it work? Will it affect us?"
Red Robe took a deep breath and asked.
"I don't know. This is the first time he has used it. No one can say for sure what the specific situation is."
Green Robe shook his head and said.
However, no matter how worried they were, there was no room for them to intervene. They could only watch and wait for the final result. They could only pray in their hearts that it would not succeed and that it would not have any effect.
.....
"Order, confer the fate of a nation, congeal the seal."
Yi Tianxing's voice sounded in the void again.
Suddenly, the Seven-clawed Golden Dragon appeared in the sky above the Conferment of the Gods. It opened its mouth and spat out a thick golden light that covered the entire Conferment of the Gods and integrated into it. The body of the true dragon began to shrink. This change was visible to the naked eye.
