Chapter 617

The Heaven Conferring Platform stood on the left side of the city, surrounded by five emperors and altars, emitting a faint light. It gave the whole of Changle a sense of majesty and solemnity.

Mengqi took a look at this scene. His figure appeared and landed in front of a pavilion in the palace.

Creak, the door opened without any wind as if it was welcoming. The pillars and decorations inside bathed in the sunlight. They were golden, magnificent and intimidating.

Gao Lan rarely wore casual clothes. He stood by the window with his hands behind his back. His whole body was dyed in gold, exuding a sense of sacredness and solemnity.

"Third brother, you don't come without a reason. What is the purpose of your visit?" Gao Lan did not look back. His voice seemed to come from the sky without any joy or sorrow.

The corner of Mengqi's eyes twitched. He said in a cold and indifferent tone, "I often use the Myriad World Talisman to communicate. Why would I not come without a reason?"

It seems that big brother is reminiscing about Yan Ran again. A man of nine feet is actually a little sentimental, saying that he is worried and slandering me as a cold-blooded brother who doesn't come without a reason …

Gao Lan turned back slowly. His face was covered with a layer of sunlight. He said calmly,

"Since communicating through the Myriad World Talisman is equivalent to visiting, why did you come in person?"

Big brother's train of thought is really strange and can't be judged by common sense … Mengqi was speechless for a moment. He did not know how to answer. Should he admit that he doesn't come without a reason or swallow his explanation just now?

After thinking for a while, Mengqi played his strengths to the extreme. He went straight to the point and ignored other questions. With a solemn expression, he said directly, "Big brother, what kind of humanity is the humanity in your heart and the humanity you want to practice?"

Gao Lan's eyes suddenly became deep. There was a kind of sharpness and indifference brewing. It seemed that he had suddenly returned from a tender man who reminisced about the past to a rational and cold emperor.

Mengqi did not avoid his eyes. Although his aura was not obvious, there was a kind of chaotic inexplicable feeling that made all the sharpness fall into nothingness.

Gao Lan pondered for a long time. His thin lips slowly opened.

Under the influence of the atmosphere, Mengqi's thoughts tightened and became more solemn, waiting for the answer.

"You should call me brother," Gao Lan pointed out Mengqi's previous mistake.

Mengqi opened his mouth slightly and looked a little dazed. Fortunately, he could examine his thoughts and recovered in an instant.

Why care about the details at such a solemn moment?

Just as he was about to speak, Gao Lan was already facing the window again. His tone was so calm that it sounded like he was talking about someone else's business.

"Yan Ran once asked me the same question. At that time, my answer was to ascend to the Nine Five Realms and grasp the power of all realms. With this, I would rule over the human race and protect my subjects and people from the invasion of natural disasters and demons. I would make the human race the leader of all intelligent races in the universe and make them more and more prosperous.

Meng Qi calmed himself down and listened quietly without interrupting.

"After hearing this answer, she did not mention it again. I think she must be a little disappointed, but I don't understand why she was disappointed. After that was many years of imprisonment, the cultivation of the Emperor's Golden Book, and finally obtaining the Emperor's Sword, unifying the world, and becoming the Emperor of this era." Gao Lan said calmly, "After going through hardships and vicissitudes, I finally saw glory and had more thoughts about humanity."

"In the last years of the ancient times, demons created chaos on the earth, and humans could not survive. Therefore, the path of the emperor was to fight against demons, exorcise demons, isolate the gods, overcome all obstacles, and open up a path for the human race. Today, the human race is no longer in a precarious situation in the real world. Instead, they occupy a rather prominent position. Just protection alone seems to be unable to support the complete humanity, so I chose to expand and march into the Myriad Worlds."

"However, this is not enough. It is too narrow to say that humanity only refers to the human race. Based on my many years of experience, humanity is also the light of civilization, the fire of wisdom, the path supported by all intelligent life that can think about the world, explore the unknown, and pursue the Great Way. After the creation of the world, other than the innate strong, the Myriad World was cold and silent. Even if there was sunlight, it could not hide the nature of darkness. When the intelligent life was born, they gathered their wisdom and power to create civilizations, and only then did they light up the dark universe."

"Humanity is about gathering people and order. It gathers the thinking of all intelligent life, the love for life, the exploration of the unknown, and the pursuit of the Great Way. Only in this way can we fight against foreign enemies, fight against all forces that try to destroy and obstruct the progress of this civilization, and fight against the evil gods and demons that represent the path of destruction and chaos. Therefore, I acquiesced to the expansion of the Palace of Mohism, the development of the mechanism, and the strengthening of the Myriad World Access. Therefore, as long as they are willing to abide by the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and do not do internal sabotage, all intelligent and orderly life can be included in humanity."

Gao Lan turned around, his eyes were like deep pools, and he said slowly,

"This is the humanity that I want."

Mengqi nodded his head slightly and said calmly,

"I understand."

After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation, leaving behind a gradually disappearing figure in a Taoist robe.

Watching Mengqi leave, Gao Lan suddenly said in a low voice,

"I am very ambitious. I don't want to see the inexplicable Dao of Demons, Dao of Demons, and Dao of Gods. I want to use humanity to contain them all …"

…

Guangchengzi descended in the World of Journey to the West. He set up a conveyance light and went straight to the Tushita Palace outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

As soon as he saw the exotic flowers, spiritual springs, and celestial birds, he saw the golden-horned boy coming over to greet him.

"Senior Guangcheng, Old Master has instructed me to listen to your orders," the golden-horned boy smiled and cupped his hands.

Guangchengzi was stunned, then he turned to face the Tushita Palace and solemnly bowed,

"Thank you, Uncle-Master."

Sure enough, I can't hide it from Uncle-Master De Dao!

After the ceremony, he looked at the golden-horned boy and said with a slight smile, "Junior Apprentice-Brother, please make a trip to the Ancient Fusang Tree World and ask the Qing Emperor what he thinks about the List of Deification."

The golden-horned boy snorted and left the Thirty-Three Heavens immediately without saying anything.

Guangchengzi waited patiently for a long time and finally saw him return leisurely. He said with a smile, "Senior Apprentice-Brother Qing Emperor said that you can do as you wish."

Such certainty without any ambiguity made Guangchengzi happy. He immediately bid farewell to the golden-horned boy and returned to the Yuxu Palace that was located at the infinitely high place.

…

Humanity is the method of gathering people and the power of order … Mengqi recalled what Gao Lan said and already had an idea. When he returned to the Yuxu Palace and saw the joy on Guangchengzi's face, he immediately laughed and said,

"Senior Apprentice-Brother Guangcheng, it seems that the senior Qing Emperor supports us to get the List of Deification?"

"Exactly, things will be much simpler," Guangchengzi replied with a smile.

With the approval of the only person from the Nirvana Realm walking in the world, who else would dare to cause trouble?

At this moment, Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa interrupted, "It's easy, but we can't let our guard down. In today's world, it's not necessarily that there are no powerhouses or treasures that can temporarily stop the Qing Emperor."

Mengqi had a thought and nodded, "Senior Apprentice-Sister Manjushri is right. Firstly, we have to guard against anyone who will unlock the seal of Spirited Mountain and let the Devil Buddha escape. Secondly, we need to consider the Heavenly Way Monster and the Fu Emperor."

Although the Qing Emperor could perform his direct knowledge and borrow the power of the Heavenly Way Monster, and the two seemed to be related, it might not be impossible for others!

"The Fu Emperor?" Guangchengzi asked with slight surprise.

When he heard Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa's words, he immediately thought of the Devil Buddha and the Heavenly Way Monster, but what about the Fu Emperor?

"I heard from the Emperor of Feng Du that the Fu Emperor's condition isn't right. I'm afraid that an accident will come from this," Mengqi said frankly.

The Emperor of Feng Du is one of the Three Separations of the Ancient Buddha Bodhi. What he said is definitely not without reason … Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, and the rest nodded slightly and agreed with Mengqi's worries.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Mengqi looked around and said with a smile,

"The current emperor has a forgiving heart. It's not impossible for him to cooperate with other forces. We might as well form alliances as soon as possible to prevent accidents."

As he said, he looked at Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa, "Senior Apprentice-Sister Manjushri, you have a close relationship with the Buddhists. I wonder if you can send someone to test their attitude?"

Manjushri's eyes turned and she smiled, "Wanlin, make a trip to the pure land of Maitreya and test them."

After Jian Wanlin accepted the order and left, Mengqi ordered the Celestial Hound to contact the demon race. Chijingzi's disciple Qixi contacted the Heavenly Lord Lingbao. Nezha visited the Plain Lady Fairyland in the name of the Three Altars of Sea Meeting to communicate with the reincarnated Mysterious Fairy of Jiutian, the current leader of the ancient Celestial Court.

"Yes, Leader!" they accepted the order and left in unison.

After giving the order, Mengqi looked at Guangchengzi, Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa, and the rest with a faint smile,

"This matter should not be delayed. Senior Apprentice-Sisters, please don't be deliberately mystifying here. I will change with the wind and escape from the Yuxu Palace. I will sneak into the Nine Serenities and see if I can deceive everyone!"

On one hand, he was using tentative alliances to disrupt the line of sight. On the other hand, he was trying to make a private deal!

Guangchengzi, Manjushri, and the rest of the Great Mediums already understood and smiled,

"Rest assured, Leader!"
