"Second brother, after you left, the Jade Emperor didn't stay any longer and asked Ran Deng and the others to take away the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle."
After Li Anran left Yang Jian and Nezha, he briefly talked about what happened in the Lingxiao Palace, and then expressed his speculation: "The Jade Emperor's attitude is so determined, not entirely because of Lingshan, but more likely because of the golden wing." Dapeng Eagle.”
"He is the son of the Phoenix and the younger brother of the Peacock. He has a special status and a profound background, but he has also committed an unforgivable crime. The Jade Emperor does not want to offend the Phoenix and the Peacock, so he refuses to let us punish them severely according to the laws of heaven."
"Son of the Phoenix, younger brother of the Peacock?"
Nezha was stunned and suddenly thought of something: "Is the peacock you are talking about Kong Xuan? The peacock of Ming King Bodhisattva in Lingshan?"
Li Anran nodded.
"No wonder!" Nezha suddenly realized, and couldn't help complaining: "This golden-winged roc has the nerve to be Kong Xuan's brother, why is it so weak?"
In the Catastrophe of Conferring Gods, Kong Xuan was definitely one of the top three experts besides the saints. His colorless divine light made the disciples of Chanjiao suffer countless hardships.
It was the Taoist Zhunti who, regardless of his status, bullied the younger ones, and finally captured Kong Xuan and forcibly converted him to Buddhism.
I didn’t expect that this younger brother Kong Xuan would be so useless!
Yang Jian already knew this, but——
If heaven's rules and regulations can only restrain the weak, then what use are they?
A mere golden-winged Dapeng eagle should be given a lighter sentence for seeking personal gain and perverting the law. If it were replaced by Manjushri, Samantabhadra and Avalokitesvara, wouldn't it be rewarded a lot?
Yang Jian's lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
His repeated pleas in the Lingxiao Palace were forcing the Jade Emperor to bow his head with justice and righteousness, and they were also making final confirmation.
The result, as he expected, also made him give up the last bit of fantasy.
The roots are rotten and no amount of pruning will help!
Similarly, as long as these gods are still there, even if the rules of heaven are modified, the three realms will not change at all!
He wants to completely change the Three Realms, not only to modify the rules of heaven, but more importantly, to break all the original ones and bring the stinky stagnant water of the Three Realms back to life!
Yang Jian did not deliberately pretend in front of Li Anran and Nezha. Both of them noticed the terrifying energy in Yang Jian that was violently boiling and boiling but was forcibly suppressed.
It's like the black clouds that keep accumulating before a storm, or like the magma that keeps rolling in a volcano.
When it breaks out, it will definitely be earth-shattering!
"Second brother, are you okay?" Nezha asked stupidly, a little worried.
Li Anran guessed what Yang Jian was thinking.
After what happened with the Golden Winged Dapeng Eagle, Yang Jian was probably completely disappointed with Heaven and the Jade Emperor, but he just didn’t know what Yang Jian would do next!
The version he knew was that Yang Jian used the Three Holy Mothers incident to make himself the biggest evil in the world. He tried every means to attract all the hatred, let Chenxiang unite with more people and more forces, and bring down the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. Put in a situation where no one is available.
Then, in front of the gods and Buddhas of the three realms, he used agarwood to save his mother, in the name of the saint Nuwa, and with the thoughts of the people of the three realms, he forced the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother to accept the new rules of heaven written by himself.
Finally, he used his own death to end all hatred and all evil, so that Chenxiang, the person who eliminates evil and saves the world, can get all the good, and let all living beings in the three worlds reunite.
The plan was thorough and the implementation was successful.
In just a few years, Yang Jian trained Chenxiang, a nephew who did not seek advancement and only wanted to be a rich man, into a strong man with few rivals in the three worlds. He also became a disciple who defeated the Buddha, and befriended the Dragon King of the Four Seas, The envoys of the Purifying Altar, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Taishang Laojun, the Third Prince Nezha and other powerful forces.
However, there are two opinions about the final result.
The first is that all Yang Jian's plans were exposed by chance, all the truth came to light, and the Three Holy Mothers of Chenxiang forgave him.
The second is that Yang Jian's plan was successful and he ended all evil with his own body, giving Chen Xiang a golden body of merit.
The former seems to be perfect, but most of Yang Jian's hard work has been wasted. The authority of the new Tiantiao will inevitably be greatly reduced, and its implementation will be even more difficult.
The latter sacrificed Yang Jian and fulfilled everyone, which was completely worthless in Li Anran's view.
No matter how perfect the regulations are, the key depends on how well they are implemented.
Without Yang Jian, how much can only one new rule of heaven be implemented?
How to ensure that it will not go astray?
It has been hundreds of years since Li Anran traveled through time. The two people who have the best friendship are Yang Jian and Nezha. He doesn't want to see Yang Jian become the holy mother who is taken advantage of.
As long as Yang Jian shows signs of going down the same old road, he will do whatever it takes to turn Yang Jian back!
"What can happen to me?"
Yang Jian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Over the past hundreds of years, all matters in the Three Realms have been basically handled by me. Now it is Heaven that cannot live without me, not that I cannot live without Heaven."
"Just watch. It won't be long before the Jade Emperor will call me back again. I just took advantage of this period to rest for a while and do some things that were inconvenient to do before."
To others, this would sound arrogant and conceited, but in Yang Jian's mouth, it was as if he was stating a fact.
Li Anran and Nezha didn't have the slightest doubt.
They had all seen with their own eyes how Yang Jian worked day and night to deal with the piles of documents and files.
No matter how big or small, no matter how big or small.
Just to save up for writing new rules for him.
This caused many people to criticize Yang Jian for being greedy for power and unwilling to let any of it out of his hands.
It also made Yang Jian the absolute core of the Three Realms Heaven.
There is nothing in heaven without the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.
But without Yang Jian, it would definitely be a mess.
"Um."
Nezha nodded vigorously and gritted his teeth and said: "Second brother, I am also staying at Guanjiangkou during this period, and I am not going anywhere! I want to see if Li Jing can suppress those monsters and ghosts!"
Li Anran: "..." Brother, your idea is good, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed!
There are actually many powerful people that Heavenly Court can use, but most of them have responsibilities and cannot be easily mobilized.
For example, Emperor Zhenwu had great magical power and vast supernatural powers. He also had generals such as the Turtle Snake King, Lingguan, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals under his command.
But he needs to keep an eye on the movements of Beiju Luzhou Demon Master's Mansion outside Beitianmen.
There are also the newly appointed Marshal Tianpeng and the 100,000 Tianhe navy. They need to guard the outside of the weak water and beware of the monsters and monsters in the dark abyss. They cannot be mobilized either.
In the past, what Nezha did would definitely cause a lot of trouble to the Heavenly Court, and might even force the Jade Emperor to bow his head and submit.
But now, the Heavenly Court has ordered Niu Demon King and Red Boy to be placed under the command of Li Jing, and the situation is completely different!
Most of the demons and ghosts in the world are no match for the Bull Demon King and Red Boy.
It doesn't make much sense for Nezha to do this.
However, Li Anran did not pour cold water on Nezha at this time, and said to Yang Jian: "Second brother, I don't have anything to do recently. If you need our help, just ask."
Nezha nodded in response: "Yes, second brother, if you have any questions, just tell us! We brothers work together, I don't believe there is anything we can't solve!"
"Then thank you two wise brothers."
Yang Jian smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded in response, pondered for a moment, and twisted out a magic formula.
Buzz!
A ray of golden light washed out from Yang Jian's fingertips, forming a translucent golden light shield, covering them underneath.
But it isolated them into a small independent world.
In this way, let alone eavesdropping, even the magical power of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Book and the six-eared macaque could not detect what was going on inside beyond Yang Jian.
And this kind of method can only be used by Daluo Jinxian at least!
"When we were at Cuiyun Mountain before, the second brother really held back his hand and didn't use all his strength." Li Anran thought secretly in his heart.
After Yang Jian isolated the inside and outside, he asked: "Two worthy brothers, you should all know that the great powers of the three realms have joined forces to deal with the catastrophe of heaven and earth. I just don't know, what do you think of this matter?"
Li Anran and Nezha were both stunned.
Seeing Yang Jian being so cautious, they thought Yang Jian wanted their help with something important, but they didn't expect that he would ask such a question.
Nezha was straightforward and did not think too much. He snorted and said, "Are they just trying to deal with it? They are clearly diverting the disaster to the east and transferring the disaster to the mortal world!"
"You rarely come down to earth, and you haven't seen the tragic situation before Nanzhan Buzhou! It can be said that there are natural and man-made disasters everywhere, with wailing all over the field, bones all over the ground, and no one for thousands of miles. I would rather rely on my true skills to survive the disaster, which is better than now Using other people’s lives as a stepping stone!”
After a pause, Nezha added gloomily: "However, I heard from Junior Brother Jinxia that when Taishang Laojun went to see my master, he mentioned this matter and said that the effect was very good. There is no one left out of ten, and it is no longer a climate."
Yang Jian was noncommittal and turned to look at Li Anran: "Brother Li Anran, what do you think?"
Li Anran pondered for a moment.
His earlier views were similar to those of Nezha in the second half. Although the method of the Three Realms Power was a bit ruthless, it was extremely effective. Detonating the disaster in advance and keeping the disaster within a controllable range was indeed the best way to reduce the disaster from a big one to a small one. .
However, in the Lingxiao Palace, he clearly noticed that the mood swings of the gods and Buddhas were somewhat abnormal, but his thoughts changed.
"Drink poison to quench thirst." Li Anran gave his own conclusion.
Nezha was stunned for a moment, but Yang Jian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Why drink poison to quench thirst?"
Li Anran glanced at Yang Jian in surprise.
Did the second brother notice it too?
Li Anran said: "It seems that the disaster has been resolved and eliminated, but in fact it only makes them hidden deeper and harder to detect. When the disaster breaks out again, the consequences will probably be much more serious than before."
Nezha was a little confused: "No...it can't be right?"
"meeting."
Before Li Anran spoke, Yang Jian had already given the answer. He looked solemn and said: "Two worthy brothers, the catastrophe of heaven and earth is not approaching, but has already begun. They have already fallen into it, but they don't know it. If they continue, It will only get deeper and deeper, and the consequences will become more serious.”
Not to mention Nezha, even Li Anran was stunned.
He only noticed some clues occasionally, but from Yang Jian's tone, he was clearly very sure!
"Everyone thinks that this catastrophe will inevitably happen to Xuanmen and Buddhism or Heaven and Lingshan, but it is not the case!"
Yang Jian did not speak vaguely, but continued in the most straightforward words: "This catastrophe is different from previous catastrophes! It is no longer a fight between man and man, but a fight between man and nature. The fight is a fight between humanity and heaven!"
"From the moment they joined forces, no, I should say from the moment they began to consider how to deal with the catastrophe, they have already fallen into doom and began to fight for humanity and heaven!"
Yang Jian's words were like a thunderbolt hitting Li Anran and Nezha's heads, making both of them feel dizzy.
Yang Jian did not rush to speak, but waited quietly for the two of them to digest the information.
The way of humanity, the way of heaven...the struggle between man and nature...
Li Anran opened his eyes wide and felt an electric current passing through his body, giving him a feeling of ecstasy and trembling all over.
Many things that were previously unclear and seemed to be shrouded in mist suddenly became clear.
He had a hunch that Yang Jian was right!
Nezha was a little confused and asked: "Second brother, we cultivators are cultivating the way of heaven and attaining the great truth. Why do you say that they are fighting for the way of humanity and the way of heaven?"
Yang Jian explained: "We are cultivating the way of heaven and proving the great way, but we are all cultivating the way of heaven and proving the great way in human ways. The written language, rules and orders, exercises and martial arts, magical powers and spells inherited from the three realms... none of them are human. Product? We have been part of humanity from the beginning to now, and we are using humanity to explain the way of heaven and the great road."
Nezha asked again: "Then why didn't it happen before?"
Yang Jian patiently explained: "The people who are responsible for every catastrophe are the most powerful forces in heaven and earth. In the past, human beings were weak and could not compete with the heavens. But now the three realms are prosperous, the human race is prosperous, and the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism have been passed down to the world. , all living beings are affected by it, and the power of humanity is enough to compete with the heaven."
After a pause, he said in an uncertain tone: "Perhaps... the battle between humanity and heaven has already begun. It has started since Pangu opened the world. The disasters we have experienced in the past may have been preparations for today. .”
Li Anran was shocked, but he had never thought of such a possibility.
Nezha's jaw dropped in shock and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Yang Jian said: "This is just a guess of mine, and I am not sure whether it is true or false. However, there should be nothing wrong with the dispute between humanity and heaven."
"Two worthy brothers, don't you find it strange? In the past, when the catastrophe of heaven and earth came, only the saints could get a glimpse of it. Even the quasi-sage and Daluo Jinxian found it difficult to realize that they were in the middle of the disaster. Lost his life.”
"But this time, everyone knows that the catastrophe is approaching, and they can even work together to deal with it. Apart from humanity, I really can't think of anything else that can do this."
Nezha thought for a moment and found that this was indeed the case!
From ancient times to the present, people have always been unaware of the impending catastrophe. It has never been like this before. Before the catastrophe comes, the monks of the three realms have begun to make preparations.
Of course, there is a question mark surrounding the word "didn't come"!
The way of humanity will remind the people, and the way of heaven will also cover up the number of days, it just depends on whose method is more clever!
Judging from the current situation, it seems that God has the upper hand.
The great masters of the three realms realized that the catastrophe was approaching, and joined forces to plan a response. However, they misjudged the identities of the two parties involved in the catastrophe, and were caught in the catastrophe without knowing it.
Nezha couldn't help but ask: "What will happen if Heaven wins?"
Yang Jian said: "If the way of heaven wins, all order in the three realms will collapse. When the world returns to chaos, all living beings will be confused and even disappear. If the way of humanity wins..."
Yang Jian stopped and hesitated to speak.
Nezha asked: "Second brother, why didn't you say anything? What would happen if humanity wins?"
Yang Jian said calmly: "The way of heaven retreats, the spiritual energy dissipates, the immortals and Buddhas no longer exist in the world, all great power returns to nothing, and the power of all living beings will become the most powerful force in the world."
"ah?!"
Nezha was completely dumbfounded and shouted: "Then what are we arguing about? It's just a death for both the left and right!"
