"By the way, the map of mountains and rivers and the country."
Suddenly, Jiang Chen remembered something and took out the map of mountains, rivers and the country given to him by Empress Nuwa when she was offering sacrifices to heaven.
In the past few days, he has figured out the purpose of Nuwa Empress giving this treasure to him, which was to help him reshape the ancient world.
Although the absence of the Mountains and Rivers Society Map did not delay Jiang Chen from reshaping the ancient world, having the Mountains and Rivers Society Map would undoubtedly make his plan go more smoothly.
The Map of Mountains, Rivers and Sheji, an innate spiritual treasure, is simply a map of the prehistoric times, which records the landforms of the prehistoric times in detail. Using this treasure as a reference, when Jiang Chen reshapes the earth, he can reshape the complete prehistoric land.
"Having the Shanhe Sheji Map has undoubtedly saved me a lot of effort."
A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face. If there was no map of the country, he would have to deduce the landforms of the ancient world by himself. This was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it was also extremely error-prone.
The emergence of the Mountains and Rivers Society Map undoubtedly saved Jiang Chen a lot of energy and time.
"Let it go for now. It won't be needed for the time being. I'd better deal with the affairs of the Divine Court for now. In a few days, I will be able to become a god."
Putting away the map of mountains and rivers, Jiang Chen finally focused on business. In a few days, he will canonize the gods. This is the first priority.
"Let me see first, how many of the Nine Provinces are qualified to become gods."
Thinking like this, Jiang Chen used his magical power, his eyes flashed with divine light, and he looked down at the entire land of Kyushu. Since we want to canonize the gods, we must not just canonize one or two, but the more the better.
It's just that Jiang Chen doesn't have many people under his command now. If he just canonizes them as gods, it will only be canonizing more than a hundred people, which is of no great use at all.
Therefore, Jiang Chen set his sights on the land of Kyushu and prepared to select talents from it.
Kyushu is not only vast and boundless, but also has a long history. Even if many talents have ascended to heaven or become gods or been reincarnated, there are still many talents left.
Swish, brush, brush...
In Jiang Chen's eyes, the entire land of Kyushu has become different. In the boundless void, gods and goddesses emerge, like nodes. The divine light blooming from each other crisscrosses, forming a huge golden net, covering The entire land of Kyushu.
The net of Shinto encompasses heaven and earth.
This is a net formed by the rules of Shinto, encompassing everything, including fate and cause and effect. The fate and cause and effect of all creatures caught in the net are all governed by Shinto.
The divine way is like a net, encompassing all living beings.
I saw that as the Shinto net took shape, bright or dark rays of light suddenly appeared in various parts of the Kyushu.
And the sources of these radiances are also different. Some come from living people, some come from dead people, and some are not even people, but the spirits of mountains, rivers and vegetation.
"Kyushu is indeed a place of outstanding people. Just a cursory look at it and you can see a lot of seeds of Shinto."
A smile appeared in the corner of Jiang Chen's eyes. Under the net of Shinto, any creature whose soul can bloom with brilliance can be said to be capable of becoming a god.
The brighter the radiance, the stronger the qualifications, and the stronger the power you can obtain after becoming a god.
"It's a pity that most of these people are alive. Let's wait and see what their choice is."
Jiang Chen shook his head, but did not directly take action to arrest all these creatures. He is now canonizing gods. Except for his close followers, he will not canonize living people as gods.
Because the dead have no choice, but the living have more choices. They can take the path of immortality or the path of martial arts.
Shinto cannot be free. This is its biggest flaw, and it is also where Shinto is inferior to Buddhism, immortality, martial arts, and demonic ways.
The rest of the cultivation systems seek detachment, detachment from heaven and earth, detachment from things, and untainted cause and effect in the world of mortals.
But only the Shinto is special. It plunges headlong into the world of mortals and is entangled with all living beings. The cause and effect are endless, and there is never a chance of transcendence.
Therefore, truly gifted people will not practice Shinto. Only those who have no way out and cannot take other paths will choose to practice Shinto.
To put it simply, true geniuses will not practice Shinto. Only mediocre people and ordinary people will choose Shinto.
Just like the darlings of heaven and earth, innate gods and demons, they are extremely disdainful of Shinto. They don't look down on them at all. They will never practice Shinto.
Jiang Chen's main target for becoming a god this time is still the dead, especially those ghosts who have been dead for a long time but are still unwilling to go to the underworld for reincarnation and try their best to stay in the human world.
Of course, the ghosts mentioned here are not ghosts such as fierce ghosts and evil ghosts. It is the soul of an outstanding person, a ghost who carries the wishes of all sentient beings, or a large number of meritorious deeds.
These ghosts were all outstanding people during their lifetimes, either with great wisdom, or with countless blessings during their lifetimes, and with great merits and deeds. They possess a large amount of wishes and merits from all living beings. This makes their souls immortal after death, staying awake all year round, and staying in the world. world.
There is an underworld in this world. There are bull heads and horse faces in the underworld, black and white, and countless seducers. Normally, after death, the soul will be taken to the underworld by the seducer.
Those who failed to go to the underworld either dissipated directly or turned into ghosts and were hunted down by the seducers. In addition, there are the ghosts mentioned earlier who have made great achievements in life and have merit to protect their bodies after death.
If such ghosts are unwilling to go to the underworld and force themselves to stay in the human world, neither heaven nor the underworld will be able to do anything about them.
In other words, what the underworld hates the most are these people with meritorious deeds. They cannot beat them, nor scold them. They can only enshrine them like ancestors, and they must ensure that no one is wronged.
"Those who have meritorious deeds can enjoy glory and wealth if they are reincarnated."
"If you don't want to be reincarnated, you can also go to heaven, transform into an immortal body in the Feixian Pond, join the great sect of cultivating immortals, and learn the way to immortality."
"It can be said that heaven and earth take great care of these ghosts with meritorious deeds. But no matter which option is chosen, there is no reason for them to stay in the world for a long time."
Jiang Chen's eyes were slightly fascinated, and he glanced at all the ghosts lingering in the world.
The living have a world of the living, and the dead have a world of the dead. The two are like yin and yang in opposition, and they are in a mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing relationship.
After a person dies, his soul enters the underworld. This is a natural principle. It seems that these ghosts are unwilling to go to the netherworld for various reasons and force themselves to stay in the human world. This is undoubtedly a disorder of the ethics of yin and yang and violates the laws of nature.
It is true that people with merit can receive preferential treatment, but this is not the reason for their misbehavior. Forcing ghosts to stay in the human world is an act that violates the laws of nature and will inevitably be counterattacked by heaven and earth.
Therefore, ghosts who do not want to go to the underworld will continue to breed evil spirits and resentment as time goes by, and then turn into evil ghosts step by step.
Even those with meritorious deeds are no exception. However, the mysteries of merit can slow down this process. Ordinary ghosts that stay in the human world for more than seven days show signs of turning into evil ghosts.
But ghosts with merit can extend this time to seven years, seventy years, or even seven hundred or seven thousand years...
"They are all ghosts from hundreds of years!"
Jiang Chen discovered that those ghosts with meritorious deeds basically came from the pre-Qin era and were at least hundreds of years old. There were also many old ghosts who were thousands or ten thousand years old.
Only a very small number of ghosts were born in the past few hundred years.
"In the pre-Qin period, were there hundreds of schools of thought?"
"If my prediction is correct, these ghosts should be elites from hundreds of schools."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and roughly guessed the origins of these ghosts. They were elites from hundreds of schools.
In the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this could be said to be the last glory of the human race.
It was an extremely splendid period. With the confirmation of the protagonist's position in the world of the human race, the great supernatural beings who dominated the world reincarnated into the human race one after another, using doctrine as weapons, and engaged in a smokeless Taoist struggle.
Of course, in order to avoid contamination with cause and effect, those with great supernatural powers did not reincarnate themselves, but reincarnated into the human race with their spiritual thoughts, and they entered the human race, that is, the human race, and all the results achieved during this period also belong to the human race.
Come clean and leave clean, this is the choice of those with great supernatural powers.
It is also thanks to their blessing that after absorbing the knowledge passed down by them, the human race's civilization has become more and more brilliant, giving birth to countless outstanding people.
The human race, which was already showing signs of decline, even briefly recovered and created new glory. That's it, this is the last afterglow. This period of glory did not last long. With the passing of the disciples, the human race irreversibly declined.
"The descendants of hundreds of families only cultivate knowledge, not spiritual energy, or magical powers. Therefore, they all cannot live forever, and their longevity is similar to that of ordinary people. Even if they are knowledgeable, they will inevitably grow old and frail, and will die."
"However, they are highly knowledgeable and read to the depths of their souls. Their true souls are baptized by knowledge and sweep away all the dust. They are like mirrors hanging high, blooming with thousands of rays of light."
"This means that even though they are dead, their souls are immortal, and the innate aura around them is so radiant that even ordinary gods, let alone Yin gods, cannot enter their bodies."
Maybe he noticed Jiang Chen's gaze, and the brilliance of those souls became even brighter. Several of them were surrounded by clear lights, like the sun hanging high in the sky. Their power almost distorted the gap between reality and illusion, and they wanted to shine on the human world first.
"Amazing!"
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen was a little surprised. This power was close to the level of the innate Taoist.
What does this mean? It means that this is a person who is truly knowledgeable. Just by doing knowledge, he has raised his level to a level close to that of the innate Taoist.
The innate Taoist here is not talking about the great Confucian scholars who can only inspire great righteousness, but the real innate Taoist who has jumped out of the long river of fate and always exists with heaven and Tao.
However, even if they are close to the realm of the Innate Taoist Master, they still have no power to match them. This is the special feature of the practice system created by the disciples.
The practice system passed down by the masters only cultivated knowledge and nothing else. This resulted in the fact that although their descendants were at frighteningly high levels, their power was not much different from that of ordinary people.
If you want to show something special, you must step into the realm of the innate Taoist. As soon as you enter the Taoist realm, your magical powers will immediately appear.
In other words, before reaching the realm of Xiantian Dao Zun, the descendants of hundreds of schools, no matter how profound their knowledge, do not have any magic power or supernatural powers.
It sounds outrageous, but it is actually quite normal, because the cultivation system passed down by the disciples was created based on the ancient martial arts of the human race, but it is even more extreme.
The essence of ancient martial arts is to exchange endless lifespan for powerful strength and rapid advancement.
The various systems are even more extreme, not only giving up endless longevity, but also giving up all power and magical powers in exchange for unimaginable cultivation speed.
According to the inference of the philosophers, monks who practice the system of the philosophers only do knowledge and only need a hundred years to enter the realm of the innate Taoist. They are not Taoist like the Great Confucian, but the complete innate Taoist.
It took a hundred years to become a complete Xiantian Taoist. This cultivation speed is beyond description, it is simply unbelievable.
It's a pity that the idea is very good, but it is extremely difficult to implement in practice. Theoretically, as long as the knowledge is deep enough, it is not difficult to achieve the state of the innate Taoist.
But theory is theory after all, but the reality is that in just a few hundred years, no one can achieve enough knowledge to become an innate Taoist master.
Even the disciples themselves, who created this practice system, could not do this. Similarly, over the past several generations, hundreds of schools combined have produced countless geniuses, but still no one can do this.
This is a system of practice that only exists in theory, and no one can achieve it.
However, just because no one can achieve it, does not mean that this system of practice has no value. Later, the Confucian sages were able to create Confucianism and Taoism, which was inspired by the systems of the philosophers.
The Confucian sage cannot create something out of nothing. He was able to create Confucianism and Taoism, which was also the result of absorbing the essence of his predecessors.
"Amazing!"
"It's really outrageous!"
"If they can achieve this by just studying, then if they follow the immortal path, they will almost 100% be able to cultivate the innate Taoist master."
Looking at them, Jiang Chen couldn't hide the wonder in his heart. They only live for a hundred years, and they have reached a state close to the innate Taoist master just by doing knowledge. What kind of terrifying talent is this?
They almost found a way out of a dead end. One can imagine their talent. It can be said that throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, their qualifications were among the best, and they were the cream of the crop.
It's a pity that they took the wrong path and embarked on a dead end that was destined to be impossible to succeed. If not, they would at least be in the realm of the innate Taoist kings now.
"Is he the human king?"
Someone spoke, and although his voice was old, he seemed very energetic.
"it's me!"
Jiang Chen replied, and his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of a ball of clear light. This is an old man wearing a high crown and a green shirt.
The bright clear light emanated from his spiritual platform. It was the purest innate spiritual light, without any impurities, just like a bright mirror, clean and bright.
