Less than half a day after Ao Yi left, the Dragon Palace's gift-giving team carried boxes of treasures to the Sea God Temple.
It was also because the Dragon Palace was rich and had enjoyed the four seas for countless years. They did not feel the pinch when giving gifts.
However …
He accepted the gifts with his left hand and gave the Deity Position with his right hand …
Why did Li Changshou feel that he had forcefully turned himself into a traitor of the Celestial Court who used power for personal gain and sold his position to earn money?
He was a good minister!
In the rear hall of the Sea God Temple, Li Changshou's paper effigy, who was an old immortal, swept his horsetail whisk. Most of the treasure chests disappeared. The pearls, agates, corals, and pearls that were considered treasures in the mortal world were kept as rewards for his opponents and subordinates.
Then, the paper effigy tidied up his makeup and rode a cloud towards the East Ocean. He began the plan that he had come up with after discussing with Ao Yi previously.
The first selection in the Primordial World, ahem, the God Selection Competition!
In this competition, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas would be the special guests. The thirty-nine elders of the Dragons would be the judges. The mysterious and flawless gods of the Four Seas and Ao Yi, the forerunner of the Dragons, would be the "seniors" of this competition.
As long as you are outstanding enough, you can make the "seniors" turn around and give the Celestial Court the Deity Position!
In that case, it would seem that the Dragon Palace attached great importance to that matter and the Celestial Court would be embarrassed.
Because it was an internal selection of the Dragons, the Dragons were less resistant.
At the same time, they could also have fun with the Dragons, ease the internal conflicts of the Dragons, and increase the interest in their boring daily lives … and so on.
Li Changshou had even thought of a slogan — "All dragons fight, Deity Position charge!"
Of course, the God Selection Competition this time was extremely opaque. The initial candidates had already been decided. Most dragons were just watching the show.
At the same time, the sixteen Deity Positions had almost been distributed. They just had to go through the process to give the Celestial Court and the Dragon Palace enough face.
In Li Changshou's impression, in his previous life …
Ahem, let's talk about serious matters.
When they arrived at the East Sea, before they even reached the Dragon Palace, Ao Yi came to welcome them with a large number of prawn soldiers and crab generals.
According to Li Changshou's instructions, the venue had already been prepared. It was in a side hall of the Crystal Palace, and various arrangements had already been made inside.
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas would only gather here tomorrow. It would take more than twenty hours for the Elders of the Dragons to gather …
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Changshou and Ao Yi began to formulate various details.
For example, the chosen Dragons, Dragon Lady, had to have real talent and knowledge. She couldn't just sing and dance. She had to have a sense of responsibility and have feelings for the dragons and the four seas.
There was no need for a touching story. They were all the second generation of the Dragon Clan. No one would believe them if they told themselves how miserable they were.
According to Li Changshou's request, several Dragons craftsmen built six rotating thrones on the spot. Later, they would be used by the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and the Sea God Sect …
Li Changshou also found the Dragon Palace musician group that he had worked with before and discussed some details of the background music with them.
After he was done, Li Changshou looked at the magnificent and somewhat empty hall and pondered for a while.
He felt that something was missing …
The song and dance performance had already been arranged. This was what the Dragons did not lack.
The emcee of the competition had also chosen a graceful and articulate Dragons princess, Sao Rui, who would never mispronounce the name of the contestants.
What was missing?
Li Changshou pondered for a while, and his eyes lit up.
An audience. He was missing an audience that could cry and laugh at will!
This matter was easy to solve. Although the overall acting standards of the Dragons were not high, the Dragons ruled over many Sea Clans. It was not difficult to select some good-looking and emotional Sea Clan men and women to watch.
Li Changshou made a request, and Ao Yi immediately carried it out. Soon, hundreds of Dragons and Sea Clan "audience" were gathered. Li Changshou guided them on the spot for a while and asked them to cooperate with the music and perform some expressions.
How to be moved without exaggerating, how to cheer without being ear-piercing, was also very particular.
Just like that, after Li Changshou became the Gold God, he tried his best. As the chief director and "teacher", he organized a God Selection Competition for the Dragons.
Although it was just a formality, it was considered a new approach.
Li Changshou also took the opportunity to officially meet the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas …
Before the competition began, in the main hall of the Crystal Palace …
The four dragon-headed elders sat on the platform together. Li Changshou and Ao Yi were arranged to sit at the side of the platform.
The four dragon-headed elders all had similar appearances. They were just different in height and weight.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean was the most dignified, but he also gave off the most lazy vibe.
The Dragon King of the North Ocean was relatively thin, the Dragon King of the West Ocean was slightly plump, and the Dragon King of the South Ocean was the most loyal.
When Li Changshou walked over from the side hall, the Dragon Kings of the four seas stood up to welcome him.
When Li Changshou took his seat, the Dragon Kings of the four seas also raised their golden cups and toasted him. They gave Li Changshou enough face as the Sea God …
Not only that, but the Dragon Kings of the four seas also spoke very nicely. They kept trying to confuse Li Changshou.
"The reason why the Dragon Palace can befriend the Celestial Court and obtain the Deity Position from the Celestial Court to solve our current predicament is all thanks to your mediation!"
That was the praise of the Dragon King of the West Ocean, who was also the Dragon King whose subordinates were all traitors.
"I have observed that since ancient times, the only person who can be compared to the Sea God's wisdom and strategy is the Demon Master Kun Peng of the Ancient Demon Court!"
The Dragon King of the North Ocean can praise me, but why is he scolding me?
The Dragon King of the South Ocean was more straightforward. He said directly, "Let's drink to our hearts' content!"
Li Changshou picked up the wine bottle and began to compliment him. In just a few words, the four Dragon Kings squinted and chuckled. They nodded continuously and praised the Sea God's brilliance in their hearts …
After the banquet, they were about to begin "Dragon Selection".
Li Changshou had already arranged everything. Later, he would be able to let the Dragons obtain those low-level Deity Positions.
However, at that critical moment, the Dragon King of the North Ocean suddenly said,
"The selection of the disciples of the Dragons to enter the Celestial Court's Deity Position is something worth celebrating.
I think that the Sea God's arrangements are already very complete. There will not be any mistakes. Why don't we invite fellow Daoists from the Primordial World to be witnesses? "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
This was a little … too shameful!
Seeing that the other three Dragon Kings were about to nod, Li Changshou hurriedly said,
"Dragon King, in my opinion, the Celestial Court will only reward the position of Sea Patrol Protector this time. They are not high-level Deity Positions. Will it ruin the reputation of the Dragons with such a big fanfare?"
"No," the Dragon King of the South Ocean said. "It's appropriate."
The Dragon King of the North Ocean smiled and said, "Everyone in the Primordial World knows that the Dragons are in a predicament. Why don't we use this opportunity to let them know that we are already on good terms with the Celestial Court?"
"Alright." The Dragon King of the East Ocean nodded slowly and concluded the matter.
Li Changshou frowned slightly and pondered about the pros and cons of the matter.
The Dragon Palace had taken the initiative to publicize the matter. In fact, it was a disguised way to publicize the might of the Celestial Court. It was also to announce to the outside world that the Dragon Palace had sided with the Celestial Court and helped the Celestial Court make its presence known.
To him, that was a good thing in itself. It was equivalent to earning credit while lying down.
Ahem, I'll earn credit just by sitting down!
It was the design that had a tendency to be mischievous. He had to reveal it in front of experts other than the Dragons, especially when he had to sit on the throne that would spray white fog and keep turning around …
He felt extremely embarrassed.
Hence, the Dragon Palace Competition was postponed for half a month. The Dragons began to send out invitations and invited experts from all walks of life to attend the ceremony.
Li Changshou was worried that the pawns of the Western Sect would sneak in at that time. He had to make some arrangements to prevent them from messing up the matter …
However, Li Changshou did not expect that the matter would become a grand occasion for the Dragons!
Half a month later, the main hall of the Crystal Palace was packed with people. There were countless figures gathered in front of the hall.
When Li Changshou pressed the red button in front of him and turned around for a dragon in the white fog that was spreading in all directions …
The Great Daoist Master, who was hiding in the dark, and Grandpa Chao and Zhao Gongming laughed. Perfected Huang Long, who had been invited by the Dragons as distinguished guests, and the ten Heavenly Lords of Golden Ao Island, squinted and chuckled.
The Heavenly General Hua Ritian, who was hiding among the Heavenly Generals, was holding the decree at the VIP seats, Dong Mu Gong, who was holding the decree.
The Gold God Yun Zhongzi, who had come with Perfected Huang Long to attend the ceremony, as well as the many immortals of Chan School who had once promoted the name of the Sea God in various places in the Jade Void Palace.
There were also dozens of immortals from Jie School who had nothing to do on Golden Ao Island …
All of them revealed expressions of admiration.
The name of the Sea God Association spread throughout the Primordial World and was talked about enthusiastically.
…
Although the process was a little embarrassing, under Li Changshou's control, the sixteen low-level Deity Positions were successfully distributed.
Half of the selected disciples of the Dragons were the nephews of the Dragon Kings of the four seas, while the other half were the outstanding talents of the Dragons with clean backgrounds and outstanding abilities.
After the Deity Position was bestowed, the negative karma that the Heavenly Dao had sent down was offset. The sixteen Dragon Lady had all broken through.
Later, they would have to patrol the four seas. Li Changshou also gave them some advice. He told them to do good and accumulate merit, save the living beings in trouble, and promote the reputation of the Celestial Court. They could not do anything that would increase negative karma.
The sixteen dragons were already Li Changshou's subordinates. Li Changshou could strip them of their Deity Positions at any time.
After the decree was announced, Li Changshou and Dong Mu Gong left on their own with the soldiers of the Celestial Court. The commotion in the sea did not have much to do with them.
Li Changshou took the opportunity to change a paper effigy and return to the Celestial Court. After the paper effigy secretly left the Donghai Dragon Palace, he waited on a small island for a while.
A cloud suddenly appeared in the sea. A slender figure stepped out of the cloud and walked over on the surface of the sea. His face was ordinary, and there was a mysterious and natural Dao rune around him …
It was Master Xuandu.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "How's the consolidation of your realm?"
"It's stable." Li Changshou bowed and smiled. "Thank you for protecting me, Great Daoist Master."
The Great Daoist Master smiled and squinted. He asked mischievously, "Are you thanking me for protecting you, or are you thanking me for finding a protector for you?"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
"Great Daoist Master, regarding Fairy Yun Xiao, I'm really a little … Yes, I was caught off guard."
Master Xuandu smiled and did not say anything. He did not tease him and only said, "It's rare for me to come down. Come with me. I might have to go into seclusion in the Tushita Palace for a period of time later."
Li Changshou said, "Great Daoist Master, don't worry. I will definitely not cause trouble for Ren School."
"That's not right." The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Why trouble? It would be troublesome if I can't solve it.
The time for the Dragons to ascend to the sky is gradually ripe. You don't have to worry when you attack.
Since the Grand Supreme Elder has already imparted the Dao of alchemy, you are now considered half a disciple of Teacher. If anyone bullies you, it would be embarrassing for Teacher.
It's not bad to be cautious, but if you're too cautious, Teacher will think that you're timid. That's not good. "
Li Changshou bowed deeply. "I will follow your teachings, Great Daoist Master!"
"Alright." The Great Daoist Master nodded with a smile. He waved his hand gently at Li Changshou and strolled in the East Ocean with Li Changshou. He took the opportunity to teach Li Changshou the Dao of Taiqing and the wonders of nature.
Unknowingly, half a day passed. The Great Daoist Master wanted to leave and reminded Li Changshou …
At that moment, Li Changshou's heart suddenly surged. His spiritual will scanned the City Lord Temple of Anshui City and he frowned slightly.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Is there anything that you can't say? Just tell me. "
"Great Daoist Master, there should be no problem with my Dao Body.
A Daoist boy rode an immortal crane and arrived at my Sea God Temple … "
"Oh?" The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "A boy riding an immortal crane? Why am I looking for you?
Forget it. I'll send your incarnation over and watch the show. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Daoist Master grabbed Li Changshou's wrist and took a step forward.
Li Changshou felt the light around him flow rapidly. When he reappeared, he was already in the sky above Anshui City in the South Ocean.
That was the Cosmic Escape technique!
Li Changshou looked down and saw a boy sitting on an immortal crane. He was floating in front of the Sea God Hall.
The boy had delicate features. He sat cross-legged on the back of the immortal crane. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes to focus. There was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
There were many worshippers in the surroundings, and some aunties were praising this child for being so handsome. This made the boy a little impatient.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Great Daoist Master, I'll deal with him."
"Okay."
The Great Daoist Master pinched his fingers and deduced. However, he had already deduced the boy's background and raised his eyebrows slightly.
As for Li Changshou's paper effigy, he hid his whereabouts and rode a cloud to the rear hall of the Sea God Temple. Then, he carried his horsetail whisk to the front hall and walked forward with a smile.
At that moment, all the devotees knew that it was the incarnation of the Sea God. All of them knelt down and worshiped …
The boy opened his eyes. His gaze was a little cold as he said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, are you the Sea God?"
"That's right." Li Changshou smiled and said, "May I know who you are and why you are here?"
The boy continued, "My master wants to see you. Let your main body appear. Quickly come with me."
Upon hearing that, most of the mortal devotees below and the dozen or so Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect looked unfriendly.
How can this child speak to the Sea God like that?
Li Changshou frowned when he heard that. To be safe, he first asked who the boy was referring to. Then, he flicked his horsetail whisk and chased the boy away.
The other party was already embarrassing Ren School. He had to deal with it.
Li Changshou said coldly, "May I know who your master is and why he wants me to meet him?"
"Hmph, listen to me. Don't make me repeat myself!
My master …
He had obtained the Dao and revealed his divinity since ancient times. He was of the same generation as the six Saints.
He had discussed the true meaning of the Dao with the Saints and was now sitting peacefully in the Jade Void Palace.
The twelve Gold God addressed him as a teacher. The Dao techniques were the great mystical abilities of the universe.
There are Dao flames burning in the Essence Perception Cave. There are lights in the Spirit Vulture Mountain! "
Li Changshou immediately looked enlightened. He flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand and said, "Please go ahead.
I won't send you off. "
