On the land of Jiuzhou, millions of divine lights bloomed at the same time, and the bright brilliance of Shinto soared into the sky and intertwined in the air, like a golden net, covering the entire land of Jiuzhou.
This is the Shinto net, the supreme divine net transformed by the rules of Shinto. Any place covered by the divine net is the territory of Shinto, and all spirits on earth will be protected by all gods.
At this moment, looking from the sky towards Kyushu, one can see that every node of the Shinto web is glowing, with faint light and shadow emerging.
Each node has a corresponding god. The gods work together and are connected with each other to build the entire divine network and maintain its operation.
Those faint lights and shadows are the reflections of the gods on the divine net. In other words, every point of light represents a god.
If you look carefully, you will see that many of the lights and shadows are illusory, just an empty shell with nothing inside except Shinto talismans. There are only a few parts of light and shadow, in which images of gods emerge.
If the light and shadow are occupied, it means that this divine position already has an owner. The light and shadow are empty, indicating that the corresponding god has not yet been born.
This divine net formed from the rules of Shinto only lasted for a moment in the world of Kyushu before slowly dissipating. If the gods are incomplete and the divine network is not perfect, how can they survive for a long time?
The number of one yuan is a perfect number. Therefore, the divine network has 129,600 nodes, which exactly corresponds to the number of one yuan.
A node is a god, and a god can enshrine a god. One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred nodes are one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred gods.
This means that if Shinto wants to be complete, Jiang Chen needs to canonize 129,600 gods.
Moreover, the gods here do not refer to minor gods such as mountain gods and earth gods, but to the righteous gods who hold the power of heaven and earth. They live as long as the sky and live forever. If you change into an immortal cultivation level, it would correspond to Jin Xian.
Jiang Chen needed to canonize 129,600 gods with powers comparable to those of the Golden Immortal, then the divine way would be considered initially complete, or in other words, the foundation would be laid.
If a Taoism wants to prosper, it must have supreme masters at the Hunyuan level and many powerful people to take charge. But what can 129,600 Golden Immortals do? Not to mention 120,000, if you want to escape Xuanmen, 1.2 billion golden immortals can be scraped for you.
On top of the 129,600,000 gods, there are also 36,000 divine kings, whose strength is comparable to the innate Taoist kings. On top of the thirty-six thousand divine kings, there are 365 divine masters whose strength is comparable to that of the innate Taoist masters.
Above this are the twelve main gods, whose strength is either quasi-sage or a person with great supernatural powers. Finally, there is the Ancestral God, whose strength is comparable to that of a saint.
Of course, under the gods of heaven, there are still gods of earth. As the name implies, they are not qualified to enter the divine realm. Gods stationed in the human world, and those whose strength is lower than that of the Golden Immortal, are all gods of earth.
Just like the Mountain God, Water God and Land that Jiang Chen canonized, as well as most of the City Gods, their strength is extremely far away from the Golden Immortal, so they are all Earth Gods.
It is precisely because of this that the divine net formed by their power only lasts for a moment and then slowly dissipates.
The six levels of gods, the earth god, the sky god, the divine king, the god, the main god, and the ancestor god, together constitute the Shinto system.
Among them, only the earth gods are countless, and the other levels of gods all have a certain number. Only when the number meets the requirements, the Shinto will be complete and a complete Shinto net will be derived.
This so-called fixed number is not a constant number, but a minimum requirement, that is to say, it can be exceeded, but must not be met.
Shinto will be considered complete only when a certain number of requirements are met. Next, the more gods there are, the more prosperous Shinto will be. However, as the saying goes, if there are too many gods, Shinto will inevitably decline.
This god, to put it bluntly, is an official between heaven and earth and needs living beings to support him. If the number of officials is small, it will be easy to be overwhelmed. But having too many officials is also not a good thing.
Therefore, the master of Shinto needs to always pay attention to the number of gods to prevent too many gods from causing the decline of Shinto luck.
…
"One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred gods, thirty-six thousand god kings, three hundred sixty-five gods, twelve main gods, and one ancestor god."
"Tsk, tsk, this Shinto is here to mess with me, right?
, where can I get twelve main gods who are comparable to those with great supernatural powers? "
Jiang Chen's face turned green after learning about Shinto's requirements for perfection. The first five gods are okay. Although there are many in number, it is not impossible to do it with hard work, but the main god is a bit difficult to handle.
It can be said that since the founding of the world by Pangu, except for the Xuanmen Demon Sect and the Wu Clan, no force has been heard of that can possess more than ten great supernatural beings.
Twelve main gods, this is simply too difficult for anyone to do. It has been two or three hundred years since Jiang Chen opened up the Shinto. He counted only two gods that could become the main gods in the entire Shinto.
That is Cang and Amitabha.
Needless to say, both of them were gods created by Jiang Chen himself, and they were chosen by heaven. One was a born master of the Shinto way, and the other was a born master of the Buddhist way. They were fully qualified to become the main gods.
"It's not like there's no third option."
"To be precise, if you add them all up, there should be five candidates for the main god in Shinto."
"Cang and Amitabha can be counted as two. If you grant Tang Valley to Han Yuan, he can also be counted as one. If you enlighten the eight pagodas and let him merge with the Great Virtue and Majesty King Buddha, he can also be counted as one."
"That's four."
"And the fifth one is the Chaos Temple plus the Infinite Bowl. If you fuse the two, you will have the chance to become the main god in the future."
Jiang Chen calculated carefully and found a lot of Lord God seeds. Each of the artifacts he had refined before was a natural god, and all had the potential to become the main god.
In other words, the Temple of Chaos is slightly different from the Infinite Bowl, and is only a Taoist-level treasure. Like Hanyuan and Babu Futu, they are both quasi-sage level magic weapons. If you want to become the main god, it is only a matter of time.
"So many gods will really find trouble for me!"
Jiang Chen was a little helpless. If he had known that creating the Shinto would be so troublesome, he would have left all these matters to Cang.
He had previously sent countless clones to travel throughout the Nine Provinces, and the total number of gods he had canonized was tens of thousands.
Unfortunately, the strongest among these gods is only as strong as a heavenly immortal, and is still extremely far away from becoming a golden immortal.
In other words, he had been busy for most of the day, but not a single god could be canonized.
Nowadays, the gods of the Shinto system are basically concentrated in Cangshan Mountain. They are either gods of Cang or disciples of Shangqing Palace.
It is not an easy task to gather the gods needed for the perfection of Shinto.
"I hope this trip to Luoyang can help me." Looking at Luoyang in front of him, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of a way to quickly strengthen the Shinto.
He set his sights on Confucianism and Taoism!
Now is the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism have not yet degenerated, and the hearts of Confucian scholars have not yet decayed. Today's Confucian scholars have not yet given up the six arts of a gentleman, and all of them are capable of literary and military skills.
The five virtues of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust are still in the heart.
A Confucian scholar must be a scholar, but a scholar may not be a Confucian scholar. If he is not proficient in the six arts, cannot ride a horse and wield a sword, is not proficient in arithmetic, and is not proficient in punishment names, what kind of Confucian scholar is he?
From a certain point of view, a true Confucian scholar is the most suitable person to become a god.
Because if Confucian scholars want to realize their ambitions, they must become officials and govern a place. If it succeeds and the people live and work in peace and contentment, they will surely have merit and virtue.
Also, Confucians cannot live forever. Even if they become a great Confucian, with strength comparable to that of an innate Taoist master, their life span will only be three to five hundred years at most.
If you have good character and merit, but are unable to live a long life, isn't this the best candidate for Shinto?
Live and serve as an official to bring benefit to one side and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment. After death and becoming a god, he can still protect the people and bless them with good weather and peace every year.
Moreover, it is because he has cultivated before his death. After converting to Shintoism, Confucian scholars can instantly gain powerful power and ascend to the highest divine position.
For example, if a great Confucian who is comparable to the Innate Taoist Master turns to Shintoism after his death, he will directly become a Divine Master, and his realm will correspond to that of the Innate Taoist Master.
In today's world, although Confucianism and Taoism do not have a semi-saint whose strength is comparable to that of a quasi-sage, and a sub-sage whose strength is comparable to that of a great supernatural power,
, but there are still quite a lot of great scholars, there are more than a dozen of them openly, and there is no telling how many are hidden secretly.
If all these people converted to Shinto, Shinto would immediately have dozens more gods.
There are more than a dozen great Confucian scholars, and there are even more famous Confucian scholars under the great Confucianism. If you just pick them up, you can make up hundreds of them. If these people turn to Shintoism, they will start as divine kings.
"Look at it earlier. If possible, let Shinto and Confucianism merge. We will be Confucian during our lifetime and become gods after our death."
"If the effect is good, when I unify the nine provinces and rule the world in the future, I can also bind the Shinto to the official way. All capable ministers and good generals can become gods after death, and strengthen the Shinto with the imperial court of humanity."
Thinking about the future prospects of God, Jiang Chen couldn't help but glance at Jiuzhou.
In his eyes, a vague golden net appeared in a place that mortals could not see, covering the entire world of Kyushu.
Looking through the golden net and continuing to look back, you can vaguely see a vast world, including the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers and earth.
If someone with great supernatural powers saw this world, they would definitely scream in surprise. Because this world is exactly the same as the ancient world.
The ancient divine realm!
The complete prehistoric divine realm!
After the Divine Network is completed, it will be transformed into countless rules of heaven and earth, and the complete prehistoric world will be derived. And those 129,600 gods will turn into pillars to support the ancient divine realm.
Only when the divine way is perfected can the prehistoric divine realm be perfected. And when the Primordial God Realm is complete, it is the time when Jiang Chen reshapes the Primordial World.
At that time, the illusory prehistoric world overlaps with the real heaven and earth, the virtual and the real become one, the false becomes true and the true becomes false, and the most extreme Tao Fruit, the Hunyuan Tao Fruit, will evolve.
And this is Jiang Chen's ninth method of enlightenment. After nine times of enlightenment, Jiang Chen will definitely become the Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian with the deepest foundation.
…
As dusk approached, Jiang Chen arrived outside Luoyang City.
Luoyang!
This is a very legendary city.
Founded in the Xia Dynasty, it is one of the oldest capitals of the human dynasty and one of the few ancient cities of the human race that has been handed down from ancient times.
According to legend, the city of Luoyang was destroyed several times. This is not wrong, but what was destroyed was only the shell of Luoyang City, not its mark.
This ancient city, which has been passed down from ancient times, has long been channeled, and its imprint is imprinted on the heaven and earth. It is immortal and coexists with the destiny of the human race.
Because of the existence of this mark, even if the city of Luoyang was destroyed several times, it still has a strong foundation. The place where the mark is located can gather the luck from all directions.
Precisely because of its ability to gather luck, many emperors in later generations chose to make Luoyang their capital when they established their dynasties.
At this moment, when Jiang Chen came to Luoyang, he felt a breath of vicissitudes of life rushing towards his face.
He is the human king, the most noble person in Kyushu, and the fate of the human race is the same. Therefore, the Luoyang he sees in his eyes is different from what ordinary people see.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Luoyang is just an ancient city, but in Jiang Chen's eyes, Luoyang is an ancient history that records the rise and fall of dynasties.
He saw the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, saw Taikang lose his country, saw Taikang be killed by Yi, and all the Nine Cauldrons fell into Yi's hands.
Yi killed Taikang not because of a change of dynasty. After he ascended the throne, he was still the king of Xia Dynasty, so Yi was also called Hou Yi. Hou means Queen of Summer.
Jiang Chen also saw that after Luoyang was destroyed, Emperor Shang built a new city not far away. He saw Duke Zhou assisting the government and making Luoyang the capital.
He also saw the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the rise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Then the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, and after countless years, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty Liu Xiu established his capital here again.
Phew!
As he watched, the afterimages of history in Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly disappeared and were burned away by a bright fire, turning into countless bright spots of light.
The next moment, the light points gathered together and turned into a huge dragon and phoenix in front of Jiang Chen's eyes. He had the body of a real dragon, but also had a pair of phoenix wings.
"Dragon Phoenix, Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu!"
The moment he saw this dragon and phoenix, Jiang Chen immediately guessed its origin. It was a remnant of Liu Xiu, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Xiu, this is a very legendary figure, even more legendary than his ancestor Liu Bang, known as the son of the plane.
The two founding emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty seemed to have unparalleled luck.
Liu Bang is the son of the Red Emperor, so it is understandable that he is lucky. After all, he has someone in the sky. But Liu Xiu was a bit exaggerated. He actually defeated Wang Mang.
Wang Mang, this is also a legendary figure. His family history is also related to Jiang Chen. It was precisely because he accidentally obtained the manuscript that Jiang Chen wrote when he was bored that Wang Mang's performance was so advanced.
To a certain extent, Wang Mang was tainted with Jiang Chen's good fortune, so his luck was extremely strong, and he was able to successfully usurp the throne and establish himself as emperor.
However, Wang Mang had good luck, but Liu Xiu had better luck than him.
I don’t know how many years have passed since the war between the three clans, but there are still people who can get the blood of the ancestral dragon and phoenix at the same time. Do you think this is an exaggeration?
Liu Xiu was so exaggerated. When he was young, he also obtained the blood of the ancestral dragon and phoenix.
