Time passes slowly, and ten years pass in the blink of an eye.
For the previous great masters of the Three Realms, ten years is just a blink of an eye. After all, they are immortal, and time is not really important to them.
But things are different now. The great formation of stars in the sky is shattered, and time suddenly becomes compressed, especially for those old golden immortals who have lived for a long time and are approaching their longevity.
Like Taishang Laojun, although he is also one of the old golden immortals, he is different from other golden immortals in that his power is the strongest in the three realms. Such a strong man can continue his longevity no matter what. .
For example, plundering the population of Dongsheng Shenzhou. Although many people were dissatisfied with Taishang Laojun's actions of collecting mortals from city to city without saying a word, they were afraid of his identity and even more afraid of the huge number of law spirits in his hands. Treasure, naturally I can only hold my nose and recognize it.
But those who are not very strong in the Golden Immortal Realm are different.
Lord Longevity Star is such a golden immortal. He is not outstanding among the many great powers in Taoism, and he has very few means at his disposal. However, compared to Taishang Laojun, the longevity crisis for him is equally urgent. In Zhou Dynasty, The moment the Heavenly Star Formation broke through, he only had less than ten years left.
Relying on the efficacy of some elixirs he had accumulated, he was able to stabilize his longevity in front of him, but as he watched the years pass, he could not help but feel the aging of his soul and the decline of his body.
But it is a bit difficult for him to use the power of faith to connect with mortals to make himself immortal.
Not to mention that mortals in the Three Realms are now an important resource. Many golden immortal elders are watching with eager eyes. Even if it is his turn to collect mortals now, it is already too late. His end is right in front of him. There is no other way. It has completely lost its effect.
"It can't go on like this. I can't just lose my mind like this for no reason. I need to think of a way!" A cold light flashed in the birthday boy's eyes. He stretched out his hand and the five-color deer that had been following him came in front of him. .
His lips moved and he quickly gave the order.
The Five-Colored Deer is also in the Golden Fairyland, so he will naturally obey the birthday boy's instructions respectfully. After receiving the birthday boy's instructions, he directly transformed into an auspicious cloud and headed towards Xiniu Hezhou.
On the Lingshan Mountain in Hezhou, Xiniu, the figure of the five-colored deer landed directly at the foot of the mountain.
Soon the Buddhist mountain guard Arhat discovered his traces. After the five-color deer announced his intention, he was politely invited to the mountain.
Time flies by, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a piece of news that shocked the powerful minds of the three realms spread throughout the three realms and four major continents.
The three stars of Taoism, Fortune, Luxury and Longevity, announced in public that they had taken refuge in Buddhism and became Buddhist Bodhisattvas of Dingguang, Yuanguang and Fuguang.
This news spread rapidly in many circles as if it had grown wings, and the reason why Samsung took refuge in Buddhism was also very simple. Buddhism has countless reserves of faith power, and the three of them, especially the longevity of the longevity star, It has completely come to an end.
And the only one who can save their lives is Buddhism.
As soon as this news came out, the strong men in the entire Three Realms instantly became restless. Those Shou Yuan Eyes saw the end, and they didn't know what to do. Unknown emotions suddenly rose in the hearts of the strong men in the Golden Fairy Realm.
At this time, the Magnolia Buddha Festival held once every 500 years in Buddhism officially opened. According to a Buddhist Bodhisattva, at this Buddhist Festival, the Buddha will lecture on the Buddha Dharma of Immortality. Anyone who is willing to listen. All the powerful people in the three realms can listen to it.
As soon as this news came out, Buddhism's reputation suddenly became even more shocking, and for a while it even tended to overshadow Taoism.
The Daomen remained strangely silent about this, and neither Kunlun Mountain nor the Daomen made any sound.
For Buddhism, this undoubtedly acquiesced to its status. For a time, people came to visit Buddhism, and there was an endless stream of great masters from the three realms who visited, and many of them were even powerful Taoists.
"Buddhism is unstoppable!" In the Lingxiao Palace of Heaven, the Jade Emperor listened to his subordinates reporting on the situation in the Three Realms in recent times. He couldn't help but sigh. Although he felt helpless in his heart, he had no choice. stop.
As the Zhoutian Star Formation was completely destroyed, the supremacy of Heavenly Court immediately fell into the abyss.
First of all, the rule of one day in heaven and one year on earth has been broken. Heaven is no longer the powerful holy land for cultivation. There is no difference between it and the four continents. In addition, Nantianmen is no longer an indestructible fortress. With the formation of formations, According to the news, its defense capability dropped by 70%.
Since the Zhoutian Star Formation was broken, various monster clans have been trying to launch attacks on Nantianmen, which can be said to be very difficult for the Nantianmen defenders to deal with.
"This is inevitable!"
"Jade Emperor, the next situation in the Three Realms will inevitably lead to division. Heaven can no longer hold a large number of laws. Let it go when it's time to let it go!"
"Also, don't be too hasty about the list of gods. Take your time!" Taishang Laojun, who had just returned from the lower world, was crouched and filled with deathly energy. After saying this, he stretched out his hand and threw it away. , directly threw a scroll of glittering golden light over, then took a deep look at the Jade Emperor, and disappeared without a trace.
As the incarnation of the Taoist ancestor, Taishang Laojun actually has a very subtle relationship with many powerful people in Kunlun Mountain. He even does not have a dojo in Kunlun Mountain. However, the Jade Emperor in Heaven has a very close relationship with him. After all, the two of them are already in Heaven. We have worked together for nearly a hundred thousand years.
The Jade Emperor's heart moved, and he unfolded the scroll in his hand, with a hint of joy on his face.
This turned out to be the main volume of the Conferred Gods List.
He really didn't expect that Taishang Laojun would give this thing to him.
You must know that although the number of gods conferred on this thing is not full, there are already more than a hundred people. These more than a hundred people are basically strong people in the Golden Fairy Realm, and they are all immortal beings. Holding this list of gods , which is equivalent to holding the life and death of more than a hundred powerful people in the Golden Fairy Realm. They must work for him.
It is no exaggeration to say that this thing is the most important treasure in the world.
Laojun actually gave it to him like this?
However, after thinking about it for a moment, the Jade Emperor also figured it out. After all, it is no longer the same as before. In the past, the old man controlled the Zhoutian Star Formation, and no one in the three realms could criticize him. But now, the Zhoutian Star Formation has been destroyed. After being destroyed, his power immediately dropped drastically, and then he had to go into seclusion to stabilize his longevity and establish a stable belief channel with the many believers who had plundered him to ensure that he could continue to survive.
At such a critical moment, if you still hold a treasure like the Investiture of Gods, it will inevitably make some people have some thoughts.
And now the heaven is no longer impregnable. It is still easy for some people to use some means to break in. His Tushita Palace is no longer safe. If he is attacked by some powerful people while he is in retreat, then he may be afraid. Immediately fell short of success.
It would be better to give away the Conferred God List to reduce your own presence.
Since then, as the incarnation of Taoist ancestor, Taishang Laojun, if there is no certain trend of interests, I believe no one will dare to risk trouble with him.
Of course, there is another point. He really doesn't have the energy or time to take care of the affairs of the Gods List and Heavenly Court. It would be better to leave it to him and let him manage it on his behalf.
After understanding this, the Jade Emperor immediately laughed.
Speaking of which, he and Laojun still have a tacit understanding over the years. At such a sensitive moment like today, since Laojun has given enough trust, he will definitely reciprocate and protect the safety of Laojun's Tushita Palace.
"Gene Era"
Today's Heavenly Court, although its strength can no longer radiate downwards to the three realms and four major continents, it is still more than capable of guarding the three-acre land of Heavenly Court.
"With the Conferred Gods List, I can plan some things!"
The Jade Emperor touched his chin, constantly thinking about the best attitude for Heaven to maintain in this big change.
In fact, today's Heavenly Court is not small. Its total area is equivalent to a continent in the lower world. After all, Heavenly Court was originally a small acquired world created by Taozu by moving the shattered Zhongzhou to the sky.
There are also mortals in this small world, and there are quite a few of them. Taishang Laojun did not rob the mortals here before when he robbed them.
In addition, the previous Zhoutian Star Formation never stopped gathering the spiritual energy from the three realms to gather in the heaven, causing the fairy spirit energy in the heaven to be much richer than outside.
Such a small world, if it develops well, will definitely not be weaker than any other continent in the lower world.
Speaking of which, now that the Zhoutian Star Array has been shattered, to a certain extent, a large part of the shackles on the Jade Emperor have been removed. No matter what he wanted to do before, Taishang Laojun and Taoism were suppressing him. Nothing can be done well, nothing can be done.
But now Kunlun Mountain has too much time to take care of itself, and Laojun cannot come out of seclusion. Most of the shackles on his body were removed at once, which made him feel much lighter.
There were many things that he had just imagined in his mind before but never put into action. Now he can finally start to implement them in a big way.
Just when the Jade Emperor was patiently planning, suddenly King Li Tianwang of Tota walked in with a strange expression.
"Your Majesty, Sun Wukong is here outside Nantianmen. He said he has something important and wants to see your Majesty!" Li Jing said.
He couldn't help but be weird. Monkey Sun took advantage of the Jade Emperor's war in heaven to sweep away many magic treasures in heaven and even the entire peach tree in the peach garden. He abducted Erlang Shen, Nezha and even the entire Ministry of Justice directly Instead, he went down to heaven.
When the Jade Emperor came back and found out about this, he was furious.
But now that the Zhoutian Star Array has been destroyed, the power of the Heavenly Court is no longer what it used to be. Although the Jade Emperor is itching with hatred, he can do nothing for the monkey for the time being.
I originally thought that this monkey was now having fun in the lower world doing what the Mountain King did, but I didn't expect that today it would suddenly come to heaven.
"What's he doing here?" Sure enough, when the Jade Emperor heard that the monkey was coming, his face suddenly darkened.
"He said he came to cooperate with His Majesty to suppress the development of Buddhism!" Li Jing said helplessly.
"Oh...!" The anger on the Jade Emperor's face disappeared instantly, and there was a hint of thinking on his face.
"Did the Ming Dynasty from another world ask him to come?"
As Sun Wukong returned to heaven, the Jade Emperor had already fully investigated the person behind the monkey.
Now even Sun Wukong and Zhu Biao were trained under Patriarch Subhuti by him. ,
"It should be!" Li Jing said bravely.
Speaking of which, Nezha is also in the lower realm now, and is with Sun Wukong, and his other two sons are still in Buddhism. It can be said that there are four people in the family, and there are people from the Li family in the three forces, so now Li Jing is very cautious, even more It's Alexander.
However, the Jade Emperor did not ask too much about this.
"Then let him in!"
"To be honest, I'm still very curious about that empire!" the Jade Emperor said with a smile on his face.
As the Ming Empire gradually surfaced, the Jade Emperor basically knew everything they had done before.
To be honest, as the commander-in-chief, he still admired the Hongwu Emperor. He led a mortal kingdom step by step and upgraded it to the point where it could compete with the Three Realms. This was not something that ordinary people could do.
Moreover, his series of plans in the Three Realms were, to be honest, eye-opening and admirable to the Jade Emperor.
If possible, he still wanted to meet the Hongwu Emperor.
Soon the Jade Emperor met Sun Wukong again in the Lingxiao Palace.
"Wukong meets your majesty!" Sun Wukong smiled and saluted.
Although this monkey has always been like this before, today for some reason, the Jade Emperor doesn't like this monkey.
"Wukong, I haven't treated you badly, so why did you leave me so heartlessly?" the Jade Emperor sighed.
This monkey's combat power is really powerful and terrifying, and it is perfect as a sharp knife. It has indeed helped him a lot in heaven before.
If possible, he really wouldn't want to compete with this monkey.
"Your Majesty, am I back again?"
"If we successfully reach a cooperation agreement, then where is Wukong?" Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Seeing how slippery the monkey was, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but sigh again.
"Then tell me, what agreement do you want to reach with my heaven?" asked the Jade Emperor.
"We, the Tang Dynasty, surrender to the Heavenly Court. At the same time, we will unite to amend the laws of heaven and form a new Ministry of Justice to serve as the mediating force for the entire Three Realms." Sun Wukong said.
"Oh?" The Jade Emperor couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. He was sure that this was not what Sun Wukong meant, but what the Hongwu Emperor behind him thought.
"This is impossible!"
"You must know that before the Zhoutian Star Formation existed, the Heavenly Court could not control the four major continents. Now that the Zhoutian Star Formation has been broken, how can they listen to us?" The Jade Emperor shook his head and said.
"Of course it won't work according to the previous rules of heaven. Wouldn't it be enough if we re-modify the rules of heaven and position the heaven as a neutral organization for mankind?"
"Before, the Heavenly Court belonged to the Taoist sect, and everything was done in the interests of the Taoist sect. Naturally, no one listened. But now the Heavenly Court is neutral, for the sake of the entire human race, this is fundamentally different." Sun Wukong said.
