What should I do?
In the huge Purple Cloud Palace, apart from his Taiqing teacher, everyone's gazes were focused on his hands.
Waves of pressure spread over intentionally or unintentionally. Although most of them resisted each other, there were still some Saint pressure that landed on Li Changshou, making Li Changshou's breathing a little suffocated.
At that moment, a figure flashed and stood in front of Li Changshou. He stood with his hands behind his back to Li Changshou.
Although his expression was calm, there was a smile on his lips that could not be hidden. The image of the Taiji Painting condensed behind him and resolved the pressure that was pressing down on Li Changshou.
Master Xuandu attacked in time.
The Jade Emperor, who had gotten up a little late, sat up silently.
He had lost the opportunity to increase the relationship between him and his subjects.
Li Changshou hurriedly sorted out his chaotic Dao heart and continued to pretend to be seriously injured as he lay on the ground. He gripped the God Striking Whip and the God roll tightly. Thoughts raced in his heart, and his mind was still full!
Forget it, hurry up and forget it!
How many layers of meaning does this Dao Ancestor mean!?!
Beating him was a form of affection and scolding him was a form of love. He was coaxing a child. He believed him … Ahem, oh no. He was actually filled with gratitude.
However, the Dao Ancestor had given him such "special treatment" in front of him. He had used the Little Thunder Whip and muttered softly. That was clearly expressing his support for the Celestial Court.
The subtext was nothing more than:
"I want to establish the Celestial Court. No matter how much you do in this Great Tribulation, the Celestial Court's Deity Position must be filled."
Then, he threw down the God roll and the God Striking Whip and left.
Li Changshou had imagined the scene of the God roll appearing countless times. Previously, he felt that the most likely situation was that the Dao Ancestor would open his mouth and say a bunch of mysterious words before bestowing the God roll.
However, he did not expect …
His hand trembled and he threw the roll away. It landed in his arms!
The face of the Second Saint next door almost turned green.
However, he had been paralyzed by the Dao Ancestor's Heavenly Punishment and his essence soul had been sealed. He could not refuse at all. It was useless to open his mouth!
If someone said that Grandmaster Hong Jun did not intend to do so, Li Changshou would not believe it even if he was beaten to death!
In order to help the Jade Emperor or his teacher fight for the God roll today, Li Changshou had prepared a few excuses and more than ten plans. In order to kill the Western Sect, he spared no effort to search for the "sins" of the Western Sect.
In the end …
It was all useless.
The Dao Ancestor gave him more than he had expected.
It turned out that he only needed to suffer a beating and be scolded by the Dao Ancestor. He did not need to fight or snatch it. He relied on the Dao Ancestor's ancient mystical ability to "shake his hand" and forcefully stuffed the Heavenly Book into his hand.
Mutual deceit, scheming against each other, forming cliques, all of it was useless!
On the other hand, if the Dao Ancestor did not use such a method today, what would happen?
Li Changshou made some deductions …
In the original Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the God roll was controlled by the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning. It was probably because the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning had bet on both sides and secretly negotiated with the Western Sect.
Now, there were many variables in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had previously indicated that he wanted to hand the control of the God-Conferment to the Celestial Court.
Three years ago, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning met Daoist Jie Yin and the two of them sat down to talk.
It was very likely that they were discussing today's matter. The two Saints of the Western Sect supported the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning to control the God roll and then targeted the disciples of Jie School in the future.
After figuring that out, Li Changshou gradually had a clear line of logic.
He had indeed become a key in the Dao Ancestor's hand.
Although the weight of the key was far inferior to the "lock", its position and shape were just right.
Before entering the Purple Cloud Palace, Goddess Nuwa had said, "If the human race does not fight for the fate of the human race, who can we count on?" At that moment, it was filled with deep meaning.
Goddess Nuwa was on the human race's side. In a sense, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was the Saint's sect owing the human race to the human race.
In other words, Goddess Nuwa was expressing her stance to the Dao Ancestor at that time. She was on Li Changshou's side.
In that case, the six Saints might very well form an awkward situation of three against three in the Purple Cloud Palace today.
The Dao Ancestor was the master of the six Saints. The Great Tribulation this time was the Great Tribulation of living beings that the Heavenly Dao had sent. There had to be enough deaths and injuries to fill the tribulation.
If the six Saints of Chan School and Jie School were divided into two factions in the Purple Cloud Palace, the Dao Ancestor would probably find it difficult to end the situation.
In that situation, as long as the Dao Ancestor expressed his stance, he would hint at the direction of the Great Tribulation and affect the operation of the Heavenly Dao Tribulation.
Jie School owed the human race too much. There should be more casualties.
The Western Sect was outside the Dao Sect. It would not make sense for the Dao Ancestor to say that he did not have any objections.
Therefore, the Dao Ancestor used the opportunity to drag out Li Changshou, an ordinary authoritative god of the Celestial Court, out. He first beat him up until he lost consciousness. Then, he stuffed the God roll and the God Striking Whip down and left elegantly …
He did not explicitly express his support for Chan School or Jie School. He suppressed the Western Sect and even helped the Celestial Court. He sold a favor to Taiqing, who did not want to see the three brothers fall out.
The Dao Ancestor was still superior.
How could Li Changshou believe that he would beat him up just to feel comfortable and casually throw the God roll away?
He was the strongest expert in the Primordial World who had merged with the Heavenly Dao. He was the creator of the current situation of the Three Realms. How could he lower himself to the level of his little grand-disciple?
It was all a scheme!
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that he had beaten him up in the process of scheming.
Yes, I should use the Heavenly Dao oath less in the future. Grandmaster has a lot of opinions about that …
The problem now was that he had been kicked into the quagmire by his Grandmaster. He had even kicked him twice and stuffed his entire body in.
Li Changshou originally wanted to hide behind the scenes during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation and make arrangements. At that moment, he directly grabbed the God roll and the God Striking Whip!
Although it seemed that he could directly interfere with the God-Conferment script and obtain higher authority, he would have to face the battle between the sects next. He would become the focus of the conflict!
It was really unstable.
"Changgeng … Changgeng?
Heh, 98%? "
The Jade Emperor shouted a few times from the side. The last three words made Li Changshou tremble. He subconsciously opened his eyes, and the chaotic thoughts in his heart quickly calmed down.
The Jade Emperor's eyes were filled with concern.
Li Changshou lay there and suddenly laughed.
Goddess Nuwa could not help but ask curiously, "Could it be that your soul was destroyed by Teacher? Why are you still laughing?"
Li Changshou hurriedly jumped up. His Daoist robe trembled, and a layer of black ash fell.
"Aunt-Master," Li Changshou smiled and said, "I'm happy to be trusted by Grandmaster and be entrusted with such an important task!
Grandmaster even specially explained to me why he did not make any merit previously and personally called me his grand-disciple. "
After saying that, Li Changshou looked at the livid Saint Zhun Ti and smiled.
"Second Hierarch of the Western Sect, don't worry. I will definitely work hard to do this task well. According to Grandmaster's request, I will do what I can for the Celestial Court!"
"Ahem!" The Jade Emperor cleared his throat and said, "Minister Changgeng, let's talk about this later.
Why don't you …
Go out of the hall and change your clothes first. It's really inappropriate. "
Li Changshou was a little confused. He was about to take the opportunity to say that he would hand the God roll to the Jade Emperor for safekeeping.
The Jade Emperor flicked his finger and a gust of wind shot out. An ordinary authoritative god of a certain Celestial Court, the holder of the God roll, and the grand-disciple personally acknowledged by the Dao Ancestor …
He suddenly felt that his buttocks were rather cool!
He turned around and saw that Li Changshou's face was red. Immortal light surrounded him and he bowed to the left and right.
I'm so embarrassed!
He asked the Taiqing teacher for permission and hid in the Taiji Painting at the side. He quickly changed into a light blue robe.
This damaged Daoist robe …
Treasure!
In the future, he would open a Primordial World Museum of Stability. That would be the best proof of the Dao Ancestor's benevolence and care for the Hierarch!
While he was changing his clothes, Li Changshou heard the conversation of the Saints in the hall.
First, Saint Zhun Ti sighed and said, "Teacher does not trust us in the end."
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch choked and said, "How can Teacher trust what you have done?"
"Fellow Daoist, you're wrong," Daoist Jie Yin said slowly. "There is order in the world. It's not just the Dao Sect. Back then, Teacher could give the Primordial Violet Qi to Senior Brother I and say that the Western Sect should prosper. That is the logic of the Heavenly Dao.
However, from the looks of it, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation is not an opportunity for the Western Sect to prosper. "
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said, "Teacher's actions are a little childish."
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch smiled and said, "Senior Brother, you didn't hear it just now. Teacher personally said that the Heavenly Book is fated with Changgeng.
Changgeng is the chief minister of the Celestial Court and is Eldest Senior Brother's favorite disciple. He cultivates the Great Dao of Equalization and has done many outstanding deeds for the Celestial Court.
What's wrong with letting him control the Heavenly Book? "
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said, "Changgeng entered the sect late. Although he is reliable, he is still inexperienced."
Goddess Nuwa smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I have to say a few words.
Senior Brother, don't forget that Changgeng is from the human race. The Great Tribulation this time is because the Saint's sect owes the human race. That's why the main body of the Great Tribulation landed on the Saint's sect.
It's best to let Changgeng, who is from the human race, preside over the Great Tribulation. "
The Great Daoist Master at the side calmly walked back behind the Saint of Taiqing. He tried his best to restrain his aura and not be a person of air. He did not want to attract trouble and cause himself to have chores other than sleeping.
The Saints debated for a while more. Li Changshou walked out from behind the Taiji Painting. Not only did he change his clothes, but he also changed his hairstyle and cleaned his charred body.
I really can't jump into the pit of the God roll.
He appeared again, and the Saints' gazes gathered on him again.
Saint Nuwa's encouragement was a little playful. The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch was purely happy. The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning's gaze was a little complicated. The eyes of the Great Saint of the Western Sect were filled with kindness. The eyes of the two Saints …
That was not important.
The Saint of Taiqing had been resting with his eyes closed, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
However, at that moment, Li Changshou slowly walked to the front of the Saint of Taiqing and bowed to his teacher.
"Teacher, I have something to report."
"Speak."
"Grandmaster trusts me and gave me the God Striking Whip and the God roll. He ordered me to take charge of the God Conferment matter.
I should not have declined. However, this matter is very important. Just as Second Uncle-Master said, I'm still lacking in experience. The God Conferment is no small matter. I'm afraid that a mistake will cause a disaster. "
Li Changshou looked at the Jade Emperor and said loudly, "I would like to ask for Teacher's permission.
"I want to ask Teacher to agree. I will release the God roll to the Heavenly Courts and let the Jade Emperor personally manage the God roll.
The Jade Emperor does not have to work personally for the God Conferment matter. I will use the power of the God Striking Whip to carry out the Dao Ancestor's orders and carefully plan for the Celestial Court! "
When the Jade Emperor heard that, he could not help but smile faintly.
The Saint of Taiqing pondered and said, "Not bad."
"Thank you for your permission, Teacher." Li Changshou bowed and held the God roll with both hands. He quickly walked to the front of the Jade Emperor and blinked at the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor said seriously, "What's the difference between Changgeng being in charge of the God roll and me being in charge of the God roll?"
Li Changshou said seriously, "Your Majesty, you are the leader of the Three Realms recognized by the Heavenly Dao. You are the leader of the world. The God Conferment is originally for the prosperity of the Celestial Court. During this process, it is most suitable for you to be in charge of this God roll.
I will definitely help you with all my might! "
The Jade Emperor pondered for a while and looked at the scroll in front of him. He nodded slowly.
"In that case, I'll temporarily manage the God roll for you. I'll place it in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Changgeng can use it at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Changshou held the God roll with both hands. The Jade Emperor stood up and took it with both hands. He slowly held it in his palm.
In an instant, golden light flickered. Wisps of Heavenly Dao power surged in all directions. The image of a scroll appeared above the Jade Emperor's head. It was completely blank.
Seeing that, Li Changshou felt relieved. The God Striking Whip in his hand felt weightless.
The Jade Emperor would be responsible for the nominal matters.
He would be the one to influence the actual micromanagement.
Although the entire process caught Li Changshou off guard, made him think about the pain, and exceeded his expectations, he still achieved the perfect outcome that he had expected.
At the same time, he also obtained some protection from the Dao Ancestor.
At the same time, the two Saints of the Dao Sect and the two Saints of the Western Sect had a hint of enlightenment.
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said, "Junior Brother Hao Tian, how do we sign the God roll?"
The Jade Emperor answered, "There are a total of 365 vacancies on the God roll. They correspond to the 365 righteous gods of the Celestial Court. They involve the vacancies of the eight departments of the Celestial Court, the vacancies of the righteous gods of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, and so on.
There should be 365 living beings entering the ranks of the Celestial Court Deities and enjoy the incense offerings of the Celestial Court. "
Saint Nuwa smiled and said, "Although Jade Emperor's words are right, the Heavenly Dao has just appeared. If your name is written on the God roll and you die in the Great Tribulation, a wisp of your essence soul will enter the God roll and you will be bound by the God roll for the rest of your life."
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch frowned and pondered.
Li Changshou said, "Uncle-Master, this is a bad thing and a good thing.
If a person who was originally going to die in the great calamity obtained the protection of the God Board, he could borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao to be reborn and enter the Celestial Court to enjoy offerings. To this person, it might not be a bad thing. "
Saint Zhun Ti said coldly, "In that case, just find 365 in-name disciples to enter the rankings. This tribulation will naturally be resolved."
The Jade Emperor snorted and said,
"In this Great Tribulation, apart from choosing immortals for the Celestial Court, 3,650 Longevity Immortals from the three sects should have died to balance the power of living beings.
Fellow Senior-apprentice Brothers, please discuss this Divine Seal Decree. We should also clearly divide up the spots that are destined to perish. "
The Saints were silent at the same time. They looked at the Saint of Jie School, the Grandmaster Hierarch.
The Hierarch of Tongtian said indifferently, "Distribute it evenly."
However, the Daoist priest said, "I don't have many disciples, and there aren't many members of the Western Sect either. If we distribute the spots evenly, I'm afraid the Western Sect will be extinct."
Just as the Grandmaster Hierarch was about to retort, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning frowned and said, "There are only a few hundred immortals in the Jade Void Palace."
Saint Zhun Ti smiled and said, "Jie School is known as the court of ten thousand immortals. Why don't we compare the number of disciples of the three sects and take the corresponding number of deaths?"
The Grandmaster Hierarch's expression turned cold. "Why? Is it a sin to have many disciples of Jie School?"
Saint Jie Yin said, "If there are ten reasons for this Great Tribulation, Jie School will occupy eight."
"In that case …" The Grandmaster Hierarch took half a step back. "The Deity Position of the Celestial Court will be 300 in Jie School. The number of deaths will be 1,000 in Jie School. How about that?"
Li Changshou, who had been standing at the side and had not spoken, sighed in his heart.
He could not retreat. If he was weak, he would only give the Western Sect a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Indeed, Zhun Ti smiled and said, "The ten thousand immortals of Jie School will not be injured even if they agree to the 3,000."
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said slowly, "Not enough."
Not enough?
Grandmaster Tongtian was furious. He stood up and asked in a firm voice as his sleeves trembled, "
"Three hundred is not enough, one thousand is not enough!
Senior Brother, are you bent on destroying Jie School? Kill all my disciples! "
The Heavenly Primogenitor sighed softly and closed his eyes without saying a word. The atmosphere in the Purple Cloud Palace suddenly became a little stagnant. The sword will of the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation behind the Sky-reaching Hierarch hummed!
Suddenly Taiqing Lao Tzu's voice was heard, "Sit down."
The Hierarch of Tongtian flicked his sleeves and sat down with a cold face.
Then, the Taiqing Sage looked at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou, who originally didn't want to say anything more and tacitly agreed that today's meeting was bound to "part on bad terms", could only stand up at this moment.
He and the Jade Emperor looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
Li Changshou took half a step forward and smiled. "Just now, the Jade Emperor said something that was a little vague. Everyone, don't be anxious. Let me ask the Jade Emperor another question.
Your Majesty, the three sects that you mentioned just now don't seem to be clear. "
The Jade Emperor recalled the script that Li Changshou had given him decades ago.
He said calmly, "What I said just now is the appearance of the God roll. To be precise, there will be at least 3,650 Longevity Immortals from Chan School and Jie School who will die.
This is not only the disciples of the Saints of the two sects, but also the Immortal Sects of the two sects.
As for how many Longevity Immortals will die in this Great Tribulation …
Actually, it's impossible to measure. "
Upon hearing that, the Grandmaster of Tongtian smiled. The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning's expression was still calm. The smiles of the two Saints of the Western Sect froze.
Li Changshou said, "Your Majesty, how do you want to deal with the 365 legitimate gods?"
"I will naturally choose living beings who are virtuous, scheming, intelligent, and moral apart from the Western Sect."
The Jade Emperor recited it word for word, just as he had recited previously.
"Actually, Senior Brothers, you don't have to treat the God roll as a Heavenly Dao treasure that takes your life. You can treat the God roll as a life-saving item that can revive remnant souls."
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said, "If you enter the God roll, you will be driven by the calamity. You will not be able to escape death."
The Jade Emperor pondered for a while and could not refute.
The Grandmaster of Tongtian Hierarch said, "Senior Brother, why don't we make an agreement first? The eldest personal disciple will not enter the God roll. How about that?"
"Junior Brother." The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to say."
The Daoist priest interrupted, "From what the Jade Emperor said, the position of the righteous god does not belong to the Western Sect?"
"That's right," the Jade Emperor said calmly.
Saint Jie Yin asked, "Is the God roll so obvious?"
"No."
The Jade Emperor said calmly and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion. His eyes were glowing, and his smile was gentle. He said slowly, "I was the one who decided on this."
Jie Yin frowned and said firmly, "Your Majesty, the Jade Emperor is going too far!"
"Going too far?"
The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Changgeng, help me explain to Senior Brother Jie Yin. I'm afraid that I won't be able to control my temper and will curse the Saint in Teacher's treasure land."
"Yes." Li Changshou agreed and took a few steps forward. He bowed to the two Saints of the Western Sect with a troubled expression.
Li Changshou frowned and said,
"Lord Sage, don't blame me. I'm just stating the truth. I didn't mean to target you.
Previously, the Celestial Court was not prosperous, and the Western Sect was making things difficult for them everywhere. Regarding the Dragons and the demons, the two Lord Sage indulged the disciples of the Western Sect. They did evil and started a war with the Celestial Court.
Their reputation was really … If a disciple of the Western Sect entered the Heavens and became a legitimate god of the Celestial Court, what would the Celestial Court think?
What would the Dragons think?
What would the living beings of the Three Realms think?
The Jade Emperor made such a decision for the stability of the Three Realms and the world. Please forgive me, Lord Sage. "
Saint Zhun Ti said coldly, "What I did was only the prosperity of the Western Sect. Many things were allowed by the Heavenly Dao."
"I don't dare to correct the mistakes in the Saint's words."
Li Changshou straightened his body and had a cold expression. Divine light surged in his eyes, and the God Striking Whip in his hand flickered with golden light.
He did not offend the two Saints of the Western Sect today. If the two Saints of the Western Sect had a suitable opportunity, they would destroy him.
He could not think of pleasing both sides in the matter between the Western Sect and the Dao Sect!
What he had to do in the future was to do his best to protect the integrity of the Dao Sect and control the internal strife between Chan School and Jie School to the minimum. He had to protect the vitality of the three sects of the Dao Sect and take the opportunity to eliminate some of the chronic illnesses of the Dao Sect.
To the Western Sect, reasonable toughness was stability. A reasonable collision would make his teacher and the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch stand behind him more firmly.
Hence, Li Changshou said, "However."
"If I prosper for myself, I can destroy the other Dao factions and wantonly suppress the Celestial Court that brings order to the Three Realms and protects the weak.
If I prosper for myself, I can casually bully weak living beings. I can treat mortals who are living peacefully as livestock.
If I prosper for myself, I can wantonly change the cycle of living beings and do everything to forcefully increase my foundation …
What can I get after I prosper?
The times have changed. "
Li Changshou paused and said calmly, "Next, this place will be presided over by the Jade Emperor. We will discuss the matter of the Dao Sect entering the Tribulation God Conferment. Do the two of you want to avoid it?
After all, the Great Tribulation will officially launch in the future. The Western Sect and the Dao Sect should be enemies. "
The Great Saint of the Western Sect closed his eyes and did not say anything. However, the Little Saint frowned and stared at the Jade Emperor. He did not even look at Li Changshou, let alone flick his sleeve and leave.
"Then, what about me?"
Saint Nuwa asked with a smile.
Li Changshou immediately smiled and bowed to Saint Nuwa.
"Uncle-Master, you are the Goddess of the human race. This Great Tribulation began with the human race. The human race is the protagonist of the world. Naturally, you have to supervise the entire process.
If the Celestial Court does anything wrong, Uncle-Master, please remind me in time. The Jade Emperor respects you very much. "
"Of course." The Jade Emperor stood up and bowed to Saint Nuwa. "Senior Sister, if the Celestial Court does anything wrong during this Great Tribulation, please point it out in time, Senior Sister."
Nuwa could not help but smile and squint. She sat steadily in her seat.
The ruler and the minister echoed each other, causing the situation of the few Saints to turn into a mess.
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch sighed softly and said, "Senior Brother, how do you want to sign the God roll?"
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning slowly stood up and looked at the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch.
"Everyone will rely on their own abilities and luck. Let's talk about this in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Guang Chengzi lowered his head and followed behind. His expression was calm and did not move.
