This was the might of the heavens, the majesty of the will of the world. It was so strong that it could not be shaken. At least for now, no power could resist it. Even Huang Chengyan and the others, who could be said to be the cream of the crop among the human race. Even Jiao Chu was the same.
This was an omnipotence that came from the soul.
Pairs of eyes looked at the heaven worship platform with pious gazes.
They looked at the figure that stepped onto the heaven worship platform. At this moment, it was so majestic and supreme.
"Why isn't she moving? Why isn't she moving? Why isn't she continuing to climb up?"
"Yes, could it be that there's some kind of taboo on the heaven worship platform?"
"I seem to feel a huge pressure on the heaven worship platform. This is the pressure of the world. Even outside, it feels like a mountain is crushing down on one's body. Just the aftershock alone is like this, let alone our lord who has stepped onto the heaven worship platform. "
Lu shi and the others also revealed a hint of solemnity in their hearts.
This was the heaven worship platform. It was no longer an ordinary altar. The moment one stepped onto it, it was a sacrifice to the world. Stepping on it, Yi Tianxing immediately felt two terrifying forces appear outside his body. One came from the earth, and the other from the sky. This was the power of heaven and earth. The two forces were like a huge millstone, sandwiching Yi Tianxing in the middle. It came crushing down. It was as if it was going to be completely crushed into pieces.
This power was not something that anyone could withstand.
Ordinary people would either die or be seriously injured if they stepped on it.
But at this moment, a powerful wave of people's will surged out from Yi Tianxing's body.
This was the power of fate, the will of the people, and the power of the people.
The will of the people, and the will of the people.
Using the will of the people to resist the power of the world. If one was not the will of the people, they would be crushed to death if they stepped on it. But the power of the people seemed to only be able to maintain one's survival under the power of heaven and earth. It was as if there were several mountains on one's body. At this moment, the strength of one's physical body and cultivation were all useless. They did not disappear, but seemed to be sealed, unable to be used under such pressure.
In the void, a heavenly voice suddenly sounded.
"You want to establish a dynasty, but what right do you have!"
A vast heavenly voice sounded in one's ears. That voice carried brilliant heavenly might that couldn't be stopped. This was a question that came from heaven and earth. This wasn't an ordinary kingdom, but a Yun Dynasty. The Qi of Heaven and Earth was gathered in the dynasty. Fate of all Qi. It was not something an ordinary person could bear. Without merit, how could the heavens acknowledge it? This was herding on behalf of the Heavens. Without merit, the Heavens would not hand over the authority of herding to anyone.
This was a question, but also a test.
If one couldn't obtain the recognition of the heavens and the earth, and his answer couldn't satisfy the heavens and the earth, then naturally, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to establish a nation.
Not only did the heavenly voice appear in Yi Tianxing's ears, but it also appeared in the minds of the people in Xuanhuang Castle.
"I, Yi Tianxing, rose from the chaos of the world when the Eternal Continent was reborn. I fought ferocious beasts and monsters, gathered tens of thousands of people, and protected the people of the human race to live and work in peace and prosperity. Now, the number of people protected in this city exceeds three million. In the area governed by Xuanhuang Castle, there were tens of millions of human beings. No one died of hunger. Today, in order to better unite and gather the power of the human race, I … will establish a country. "
Yi Tianxing said calmly.
Every word was filled with unwavering conviction. Every word was firm, powerful, and resonant.
He had done all of this, and it was his merit. There was no falsehood, so he said it confidently. Moreover, it was said in front of the Heavens, so there could be no falsehood. If he lied, he would be punished by the Heavens. Everything that was said on the Heaven's Altar had to be true. If it wasn't from his heart, the heavens and earth would naturally know.
Lying in front of the Will of the Heavens was an idiotic act.
As soon as this sentence fell, it was naturally transmitted to the minds of all the people. Not only in Xuanhuang City, but also in the region of Xuanhuang City, all the people of the Human Clan heard it clearly.
This sentence was also acknowledged by everyone.
Many people remembered the hardships that Xuanhuang Castle had when it was just a small village before it became the Royal City. When they looked up, there were ferocious beasts and monsters everywhere. There were strong enemies everywhere, and life and death were a matter of a moment.
They would never forget that feeling of hesitation.
Because of Yi Tianxing, the hearts of the people gathered and the will of the people increased. The pressure on him suddenly decreased, and it even disappeared completely. He steadily stepped on the first step.
One step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
He walked up the steps and in the blink of an eye, he had crossed nine steps. There was no pressure on these nine steps. The people's will on him easily blocked the power of the Heavens and Earth outside.
When he stepped on the tenth step, the pressure from the Heaven's Altar suddenly increased. Compared to before, it was a level higher. The huge pressure stopped his body and he couldn't move easily.
"You want to establish a country, but what right do you have?!"
The Heavenly Voice sounded on the altar again.
It asked the same question again.
"I built villages, towns, Celestial cities, and then Royal City. The city has a complete system and all kinds of daily facilities. Human civilization was revived in my hands. I created money and circulated Eternal Coins. I set the price table and set the price of goods in the world. Commercial circulation. Why don't I have the right? "
Yi Tianxing looked up at the void and let out a shout.
The black hair behind his head danced wildly. He didn't give the Heavens and Earth any time to recognize him. He lifted his foot and stepped up.
More and more people's will gathered on him. As soon as he stepped up, the pressure on him suddenly disappeared, and he took a big step forward.
Xuanhuang Castle was promoted to Royal City. This was merit, this was ability. He had the right to step on the Heaven's Altar. This was also recognized by the Heavens and Earth. He had to recognize it.
He stepped on the ninth step again. When he reached the nineteenth step, the pressure hit him again.
This was not an ordinary step. It was a real path of questioning the heart. The Heavens and Earth questioned the heart, testing the heart.
The Heavens and Earth questioned the Heavens.
There were eighty-one steps. To reach the Heaven's Altar, one had to go through nine Heavens' Questions. If one didn't pass once, they would lose the right to establish a dynasty, and the Will of Heaven and Earth would disappear. Even if one established a country, it would only be an ordinary dynasty. It couldn't form a national drama, only the Royal City itself. It could be said to be a castrated dynasty.
The third Heavens' Question came.
"What is the people?"
The Heavenly Voice sounded again.
"The people are water, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The people are the foundation, and the people are the root. It's hard to live without roots. "
Yi Tianxing answered without hesitation.
The evolution of China and the change of dynasties had verified this sentence time and time again. The people were water, and countless people could help you obtain the world. Similarly, if you didn't care about the welfare of the people and bullied them, at that time, no matter how gentle the water was, it would be completely furious and turn into a fierce beast, destroying all obstacles in front of it.
How could Yi Tianxing not see these living examples?
As a king, he first had to know what kind of people he ruled and how much power he had.
The people's will soared again. With the people's will, it became easier to step forward. More simple.
"What is the ruler?"
The fourth Heavenly Voice sounded.
"The ruler is the boat, and the ruler is the tree. With the people's will, water can carry the boat, push the boat with the current, and everything will be successful. The people's will is like a boat sailing against the current, not moving forward or backward. The ruler is the tree, and the people are the root. Only when the root is strong can the ancient tree grow into a towering tree. The ruler and the people are one. Without a ruler, the people are like a snake without a head, a dragon without a head. Without a leader, the world will be in chaos. "
Yi Tianxing said again.
The ruler and the people were inseparable. It was good for the world without a leader. That was just for the ambitious people. If their ambition was unrestrained, the world would naturally be prosperous. Because they had the chance to become the dragon. This was good for the ambitious people, but it was actually a great thing for the people. The situation of a group of dragons fighting for supremacy would bring endless war.
As long as a wise ruler was born, the dragons would have a leader, and it would be good for the world. Without a leader, the ambitious people would be prosperous.
The people of the world must have a leader.
"What is a country?"
They climbed the stairs one by one, and before they knew it, the fifth Heavenly Voice descended.
"The country is the home, and kinship is the home. Millions of small families gather to form a country. The country is for everyone. Not only for the ruler, but also for millions of small families and millions of people. The people are strong, the country is strong. "
"If thou art a king, how shall thou govern?"
The sixth Heavenly Voice descended.
"Inner sage, outer monarch!!"
Yi Tianxing said decisively.
This was a question about the future concept of governance. How to govern, how to deal with the world, and how to deal with foreign enemies. He could only answer with these four words.
"The ruler of a dynasty, bearing the power of heaven, and ruling over a region, can thou bear it!!"
The seventh Heavenly Voice descended.
"Yes!!"
Yi Tianxing spat out the word resolutely. Feeling the mountain-like pressure in the world, it wasn't just the pressure of the heavens and earth, it was also a kind of hope that came from the common people of the world. All of these turned into a heavy responsibility that pressed down on them. That pressure was so heavy that it felt like it was solid, causing them to suffocate.
"The hope of the people, can thou bear it!!"
The eighth Heavenly Voice descended.
"Yes!!"
Yi Tianxing's tone was as resolute as ever.
Since he had decided to establish a country, he had long been mentally prepared. Establishing a country was no child's play. Once it was established, it would bear the future and hope of millions of people. This kind of question didn't come from the heart, and he couldn't even speak. Before the will of heaven and earth, he couldn't lie. If he couldn't tell a lie, or even if it was a lie, it would be meaningless.
"The weight of the country, can thou bear it!!"
What was a country? That was a country, that was the well-being of the people, that was the hope of the people, and that was the future of human civilization. It was a heavy burden that ordinary people couldn't bear.
"Yes!!"
At this moment, Yi Tianxing pondered for a few breaths, and finally spat out a word.
The ninth Heavenly Voice. Yi Tianxing walked over the eighty-one steps, and stood on the altar.
