"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
In the Pearl Hall, two rows of marine creatures, led by the Tortoise and Ao Bai, congratulated Ao Nu.
"Haha … you're too kind …"
Ao Nu drained the wine in one gulp, and his eyes flashed. "I'm just lucky enough to inherit the position of River Earl. How can I be the Dragon King?"
"No need to be so humble, Your Majesty!"
The Tortoise was Ao Nu's confidant, and he was the best at figuring out his superior's intentions. He immediately said, "Your Majesty is now the master of the 300 miles of Fury Dragon River. You're also in the midst of the changes of the human path. Expanding the divine realm by a thousand miles or spreading incense in the human world can increase your divine power. When the results are achieved, isn't the title just a matter of a heavenly title?"
"Haha!"
Ao Nu heard this and immediately laughed. "That's true, but I can't say more. Come, come … let's drink to our hearts' content today. Another 300 cups!"
He raised the wine cup, hiding the thoughtfulness in his eyes.
The City God of Chu Feng County is gone, and it's time to do something …
That person came with a title from the imperial court … Although the Dazhou has aged prematurely, the Emperor is still the rightful ruler of heaven and earth. In theory, he has the right to confer titles to middle-level and low-level ghosts and gods … But, should I accept this title?
The path of godhood was difficult, and one could not make any progress for thousands of years.
This imperial title was an opportunity. Although it was not as good as a heavenly title, it was still a title. As long as he had it, he could spread incense in the human world.
Of course, if he messed it up, Ao Nu would have to bear the consequences himself.
Thus, he was still a little hesitant, but his attitude had already changed. He was vague about Wu Zhi's request and could not refuse it.
Anyway, what he wants is just a spring drought … This year, Dingzhou is really short of water. As long as I do it impartially, even if Wu Zhi is the military governor of two counties, he can't do anything to me!
Being impartial!
In reality, this was about the correct procedure!
Even though Ao Nu was doing this for his own benefit, as long as he followed this principle and treated everyone equally, he would at most be lenient or strict within the rules. Then, he would be in the middle. The so-called heavenly punishment law would not be able to control him.
This was a principle that he had only figured out after suffering a great loss hundreds of years ago and being sealed for a long time.
"Back then … if Father had understood this, he would never have fallen to the state of being killed …"
Ao Nu drank the wine in one gulp. "Even though the Wang family has been wiped out and the City God has fallen, my hatred has not been quenched! Only when the Wang Clan's bloodline ends and the souls of our ancestors fall into the sea of bitterness will my heart be satisfied!!! "
"Reporting to the king!"
At this moment, a member of the Water Race came in with a jade talisman in his hand, "The patrolling general just returned and picked up this jade talisman. It seems to be left behind by Chu Feng County …"
"Hmm?"
Ao Nu raised his eyebrows, appearing very casual. "They must have begged your master to give them rain. What's there to see?"
However, he suddenly thought of Wu Ming and ordered, "Bring it over!"
"Understood!"
The jade talisman was presented, and when it reached Ao Nu's hand, it suddenly flashed with light, and two lines of golden words appeared: "I summon you, come! Don't say I didn't warn you! "
"Bastard!"
Ao Nu was instantly enraged. "You dare to bully me like this?!"
"Great King?"
Tortoise and the rest of the Water Race were shocked. They didn't know why Ao Nu was so angry.
"This Daoist is so arrogant!"
Ao Nu was so angry that he laughed instead. "He is just a Perfected Being, and he actually dares to be so rude after getting close to the Dragon Energy. Does he think I don't dare to kill him?"
He exerted a little force in his hand and was about to crush the jade talisman into powder.
He had the body of a Flood Dragon, so how could the strength of this move be limited to just 1,000 kilograms? However, the jade talisman didn't move at all. Suddenly, a clear light flashed, and a huge majestic aura appeared.
"Kaboom!"
An illusory Blessed Land appeared and turned into a powerful Dharma Realm power. It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down, and it carried a terrifying majesty as it swept across.
"Ah!"
The Water Race below cried out in pain, and black gas appeared on their bodies, turning into fishes, prawns, and crabs.
Only Tortoise and Ao Bai, because they had the support of their Godhoods, didn't reveal their true forms. However, they immediately knelt down.
"Creak! Creak! "
Huge explosions appeared on Ao Nu's body like beans being fried, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. In reality, that was the case.
His face was pale, and he seemed to squeeze out two words from between his teeth. "Earth Deity?!"
River Earl's Deity Position was only at the fourth level of Divine Path, and most of it was bestowed by the heavens. This Earth Deity Position was obtained by himself. Not only was he free and unfettered, but he also had boundless power.
Throughout history, when the Celestial Path was flourishing, which one of them didn't come and go as they pleased? Treat him like a servant?
"Kaboom!"
The Dharma Realm surged, and suddenly, a layer of golden characters appeared, displaying its power.
No matter how unwilling he was, Ao Nu could only lower his proud head in the face of this.
"Buzz buzz!"
Seeing this, the jade talisman retracted the power of the Dharma Realm, returned to its ordinary appearance, and floated down.
The power of a talisman could make a Flood Dragon bow its head, and River Earl bow its head. This was an Earth Deity!
As long as the Blessed Land didn't appear, Earth Deities were the strongest force to suppress the world. If a mere River Earl disobeyed the decree, then so be it. So what if he was killed?
"My … King?"
After the mountain-like majesty dissipated, Turtle Minister carefully raised his head and saw his king's pale face.
Although he knew that speaking now would only add fuel to the fire, Turtle Minister still said, "We can't let the Celestial Lord wait for too long!"
If he really provoked an Earth Deity and the Dragon King was killed, then what was his Turtle Minister? This was a matter of life and death. He had to investigate, and he had to remonstrate!
"Hmph! I am a Heavenly Deity! He is just an Earth Deity in the mortal world. What can he do to me? "
Ao Nu said this, but his body turned into a White Jade Flood Dragon and flew out. "I, River Earl, will go and reason with him now!"
Turtle Minister and Ao Bai looked at each other and heaved a long sigh of relief …
…
"Splash!"
Under the Dragon Gate Gorge, seeing the raging dragon river surging and the water turning black, the Fire Phoenix Guard cried bitterly in his heart. "It's over! Son-in-law must have spoken too harshly and angered River Earl. What should I do? "
He felt a little regretful. If he had known, he would have let Miss make the decision first.
"Roar!
Roar! "A Flood Dragon's roar rang out, bringing with it a great majesty, causing the warhorses at the side to tremble.
In the Fury Dragon River, water splashed, and the figure of a White Jade Flood Dragon flashed.
By the time the Fire Phoenix Guard reacted, there was already a middle-aged man in a brocade robe in front of him. The luxurious aura on his body could not be concealed.
"Who are you?"
The Fire Phoenix Guard shuddered and moved closer to his two subordinates, asking in a daze.
"Let's go! Didn't you specially come to find me? Why are you still talking so much nonsense? "
Ao Nu frowned.
If it was any other time, he would definitely give these people some retribution. However, on account of Wu Ming, he did not dare to and could only say with a cold expression.
"Uncle? Looking for you? "
The few Fire Phoenix Guards were stunned. They did not know how to get on their horses and brought Ao Nu to the city in a daze. Within the Jiedu Manor.
"Son-in-law is playing chess in the back garden …"
Along the way to the backyard of the Jiedu Manor, the Fire Phoenix Guard brought Ao Nu to the garden. Ao Nu's expression was sad and shocked as he walked forward.
This garden had been arranged by Wu Ming. Even though it was only slightly modified, the mountains were deep and the water was deep. With every step, there was a scenery. It had the aura of containing heaven and earth in a garden, making one feel refreshed the moment they entered.
However, Ao Nu was not mesmerized by the scenery at all.
He turned around a bamboo forest and saw Wu Ming sitting cross-legged in the pavilion at the back. There was a faint clear light above his head, transforming into a blessed land. Three flowers gathered above his head, five qis gathered, and it was truly the atmosphere of an immortal!
"It is indeed an Earth Immortal!"
Ao Nu sighed. Seeing that there was no one around, he relaxed and went forward to bow deeply. "Little Dragon Ao Nu greets Earth Immortal!"
"Ao Nu! How dare you! "
Wu Ming shouted softly, "You violated the alliance and harmed your allies. What are your intentions?"
"Earth Immortal, the weather is dry and the earth is dry. It has nothing to do with this little dragon … This little god is the River Earl conferred by the Heavenly Court, I can only act according to the heavenly rules!"
Ao Nu's attitude was very humble, but he also vaguely pointed out that he had a backer!
"Heavenly Court? Heavenly rules? "
Wu Ming's heart stirred, and he thought of the East Mountain Sovereign's memories. Although the two worlds were different, they were both the upper echelons of the Divine Dao. Naturally, there were similarities in their understanding.
He could not help but smile. "Heaven and earth are heartless and treat all living things as dogs. Even if you are a god conferred by the heavens, the True Golden Edict, if I kill you, heaven and earth will only add a calamity to me. Why would I be afraid of it?"
"He really knows!"
Ao Nu's heart trembled. Previously, he pointed out that he had a backer, but it was purely to flatter himself.
Even if there was a Heavenly Court and a Celestial Emperor in this world, it was just the Sacred Son of Heaven ruling from above. It was the heartless path of heaven and earth, treating all living things as dogs.
Even if Wu Ming immediately killed him now, it would at most be added to the Heavenly Tribulation in the future, and there would not be immediate retribution.
But Ao Nu would die in vain!
Therefore, when the Earth Immortal summoned him, he had no choice but to come and submit!
He immediately said hesitantly, "Celestial Venerable, this is really because someone instigated it …"
When Wu Ming saw Ao Nu admit defeat, he was even more sure of his own guess.
"As expected, the Divine Dao Heavenly Court Celestial Emperor also exists in this world, and … he is extremely powerful, and can ignore the changes of the human world …"
This could be seen from history. Even if humanity changed and the True Dragon Son of Heaven ascended to the throne, the first sentence of the worship to the heavens was still: "So and so I manage the mountains and rivers to inform the heavens …"
"The Heavenly Court has gone into seclusion, and there is no sense of existence. Perhaps there is another meaning … which is to act righteously! To truly punish on behalf of the heavens! Because it is selfless, it is also impeccable, and there is no risk of negligence! "
The Celestial Emperor was the status of the world, and he had responsibilities towards the heaven and earth.
To act righteously and be selfless, in Wu Ming's view, it meant not being stained with karma, not participating, and only being a judge outside. Naturally, he would not make any mistakes, and he would not accumulate resentment and lose his status.
This was the choice of the God of Great Wisdom and Great Courage!
It gave Wu Ming the feeling that the Divine Dao of this world had already formed, so it could be impartial and selfless!
