The Tao of a universe must go from simplicity to complexity, and then from complexity to simplicity. The two continue to cycle, and finally derive magical powers.
Just like a tree, it sprouts from seeds, absorbs nutrients from the outside, and grows vigorously through wind and rain, giving birth to a strong trunk, which then branches off into branches one after another. After countless subdivisions, it finally bears fruit.
This fruit is the so-called Tao Fruit magical power.
The Tao fruit fell to the ground, sprouted Tao buds, grew into a Tao tree, bloomed into bright Tao flowers, and then produced perfect fruits one after another.
Such a cycle, continuous reincarnation, perfecting Taoism and supernatural powers through practice again and again, pursuing the most flawless and pure power.
However, the Taoism of the Lotus Lantern Universe, not to mention blossoming and bearing fruit, has not even been completed for the first time, including the absorption of three thousand Taoisms and the establishment of Taoism trees. It has not even established a model for the unification of Taoism.
The menacing army of the innate gods seems to be numerous, but in fact they are fighting independently. They have not even studied coordinated operations, shared runes, or formed formations, and are full of flaws.
Shen Gongbao used Yuxu Taoism to defeat these wild innate gods. It cannot be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack. At least he used a Star Destroyer to bombard primitive tribes and used calculus to bully elementary school students who were still learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
"It feels good to torture food for a while, and it feels good to torture food all the time."
Shen Gongbao whispered softly, and without even using a bug-level existence like Yuxu's magical power, he directly used a move of Five Elements Taoism to knock down a servant of the innate god's family to the mortal world.
While the innate gods were enjoying themselves wantonly, the emperors of the five directions in heaven had already exchanged Taoist methods, reinterpreted the runes, further sublimated them, and perfected their magical powers.
Compared with the third-grade wild innate gods, the Taoist level of the five emperors of heaven is at least the sixth grade.
"Golden Emperor! You bitch, you betrayed our innate gods!"
"You bastards are actually working with ants."
A headless innate god roared loudly, his voice full of anger, and he swayed his divine blood like beams of blood-red light, like a dragon roaring into the sky, waving the weapons in his hands to fight against the sky.
"We are so powerful when we are together with the ants, but, the high gods, you are so weak."
The corner of Shen Gongbao's mouth raised a smile, but without any emotion, he said extremely coldly: "The way of heaven is impermanent. If you don't survive for humans and die for gods, you have fallen behind. If you don't join the order of heaven, then I ask you to die."
The suppressing power of the earth came, as if the sacred mountains were pressing on top, suppressing the headless innate god on the earth and sealing it forever.
Shen Gongbao looked sideways and looked into the distance.
I saw Huang Laojun coming with a scepter in his hand, and it seemed that he had finished his battlefield.
"Is it over yet?"
Huang Laojun looked into the void, seemingly asking, but actually making a statement.
"The era of barbarism has come to an end, and the beginning of heaven is about to begin."
The Red Emperor walked slowly, like a chant, singing sacred chapters and predicting the future.
"Then let's use the bloodiest sacrifices of the innate gods to end this era."
The voice of the Northern Black Lord was as cold as the north wind, whistling past the ears of many defeated innate gods.
"No!"
"You can't do this!"
"We are noble gods!"
The defeated innate gods stopped shouting, and fear appeared in their eyes for the first time.
The innate gods have a noble personality and are on par with the gods. Even if they are beheaded, dismembered, or beaten into powder, they can still be reborn with a drop of blood.
Therefore, the best way to deal with the innate gods is to seal them and imprison them forever.
However, there is one exception, and that is sacrifice.
It is the most distinctive Taoist method that belongs to the barbaric era, and it is also a collection of great methods from this era.
Sacrifice flesh and blood, sacrifice soul, sacrifice emotion, sacrifice memory, sacrifice divinity... sacrifice everything, sacrifice everything.
Only the innate gods who developed the method of sacrifice understand the horror of sacrifice.
However, in the past, they enjoyed the sacrifices from above and did whatever they wanted, seemingly not caring about the cruelty of the sacrifices.
However, when it was their turn to be sacrificed, the innate god felt endless regret and pain in his heart.
"Why were we so mean in the first place to develop the sacrificial method?"
"Without the sacrificial method, they can't kill the innate god at all."
…
Countless pleadings, curses, and prayers sounded. In the face of life and death, there seemed to be no big difference between noble gods and humble mortals.
Qingzun used his fingers as swords and slashed across the air. In an instant, an emerald-green sacrificial platform rose up. Countless vines tied the innate gods and placed them in front of the platform.
"Golden Emperor, your proficiency in the law is a curse from heaven."
"It's up to you to seal the coffin."
Qing Zun signaled, Huang Laojun and Red Emperor's eyes flickered, but they didn't say anything.
"I also killed several innate gods."
The Northern Black Lord grumbled, but in the end he didn't object.
Because among the five emperors, the Golden Emperor killed the most gods, including nine innate gods. His tyrannical record speaks for itself.
"Can."
Shen Gongbao nodded and signaled, amidst the grand sacrificial music, he climbed up to the high platform and looked up at the sky. The sun and the moon met across the sky, and the stars were shining with faint light, and all the stars bloomed with their own brilliance.
The breeze is calling, the grass and trees are swaying, the stars are shining, the mountains and rivers are surging, and all the power is resonating.
In the dark, the way of heaven drives the general trend forward, and the long river of time branches into a tributary, majestic and galloping forward, filling the illusory future, filling the dry river, leading to a brand new future.
Shen Gongbao was immersed in the grandeur of the universe, feeling the infinite power of destiny, and then waved the golden sword in his hand, carrying the slow momentum, and suddenly slashed out, ushering in a new era.
"The wilderness has fallen, the heaven is about to be established, the three realms are divided, and the gods and immortals are walking together!"
The sword light divided into nine rays, rolling in the air like nine silver dragons, cutting the body of the innate god, splitting the head and body into two, and the surging divine blood spread across the heaven and earth, forming a series of dragon veins, condensing pieces of blessed land , turned into a sacrifice between heaven and earth.
With a wave of Shen Gongbao's emperor's robe, the nine divine corpses were thrown into the wilderness. They overlapped and formed a huge mountain, towering into the clouds, like a pillar of heaven.
The outline of the mountains is like the back of a giant turtle, and its surface is covered with red sacred stones, as if it has survived the baptism of time and still stands.
"This mountain is called Turtle Mountain!"
The majestic sound of the sky resounded throughout the universe, and all living beings prostrated and knelt in awe of the majesty of the Golden Emperor who killed nine gods. They called Turtle Mountain the Nine Spirit Turtle Mountain.
The god-slayer is honored as the Golden Emperor of Jiuling Taimiao Guishan.
Shen Gongbao stretched out his hand again and condensed the heads of the nine gods into one. With the help of the general trend of heaven, he gave birth to creation and ordered: "Open the beasts in the sky and send the golden spirit here; stare at Kunshan to intimidate all the spirits."
As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the Nine Gods bloomed with brilliance and grew with the wind, turning into a majestic divine beast with a tiger body and a human face and nine heads. Its eyes penetrated time and space, monitoring the ten directions and three realms.
"Kowtow to Your Majesty."
The enlightened divine beast was born in accordance with the way of heaven, and knew it from birth. He knew that his priestly duty was to supervise, and that the Golden Emperor, who was in charge of injuries and punishments, was his immediate superior.
"Give you new life, the divine name will be enlightened, and the nine heads will patrol the sky to supervise the sacrifices."
Shen Gongbao said meaningfully: "Abandon the barbarian blood sacrifice, open up intelligent civilization, and evolve from barbarism to civilization. This era is called the Enlightenment Era!"
"Follow the law."
The enlightened beast clearly understood that he had a great responsibility, and without any hesitation, he said impassionedly: "Under my enlightened supervision, there will be no blood sacrifices from gods in the three realms!"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded in the void, like the echo of heaven and earth, announcing the arrival of a new era.
Countless visions arose, golden flowers fell, purple energy came from the east, and divine beasts worshiped, indicating the beginning of a new era.
"The Golden Emperor has good tricks." In the sea of clouds in the heaven, Huang Laojun said with a soft smile: "Let the gods fight the gods, let the eyes of the nine gods monitor the world, it is interesting, it is really interesting."
"It is with the help of the general trend of heaven." Qing Zun said calmly: "It seems that the Golden Emperor understands the number of heaven better than us."
"The number of days, does the number of days determine who will be the emperor?"
Chidi suddenly spoke, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and directly stated his ambition nakedly.
Before the advent of the Enlightenment Era, the emperors of the five directions had a common enemy and needed to face the innate gods who opposed them, so they could work together and even exchange Taoist practices.
Because they have external enemies and huge pressure.
But with the defeat of the innate gods, the order of heaven was stable, and there were no powerful foreign enemies, the conflicts hidden deep in the alliance began to erupt little by little.
We can share adversity, but we cannot share wealth and honor. The core question is who will be the emperor of heaven and who will dominate the heaven.
"The Golden Emperor is too strong."
The Red Emperor looked at Shen Gongbao, who had carved the divine law into the depths of the void and turned it into the law of heaven and earth, and said meaningfully: "If he becomes the emperor of heaven, we will all be governed by the law and we must abide by the rules of heaven."
"We have worked so hard to conquer the country, are we just trying to tie our hands and feet?"
We have conquered the Three Realms, established the Heavenly Palace, and become emperors, why can’t we just enjoy it for a while?
Not only the Red Emperor, but also the Northern Black Lord had this idea.
The law of heaven is a law that binds all living beings. It has nothing to do with our emperor.
Red Emperor solemnly promised: "If I become the Emperor of Heaven, and the Five Emperors openly abide by the rules of heaven, with our power, we can completely circumvent the rules of heaven and act. As long as others do not pursue it, nothing will happen."
Huang Laojun said quietly: "I'm afraid that the Golden Emperor won't agree. In my opinion, it's better to divide and rule. Each of the five of us will rule one of the Heavenly Emperors. If there are major issues, we can go to Heaven to discuss them."
"Huang Laojun, you are too cowardly." Qing Zun scolded: "As long as the four of us stand together, even the Golden Emperor will obey the overall situation."
"Black Lord, what do you think?"
The Northern Black Lord was stunned for a moment, then said perfunctorily: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll listen to you."
"Let's find an opportunity to have a showdown with the Golden Emperor."
Red Emperor said in a deep voice
"Now?" Qing Zun frowned and said, "Now that the Golden Emperor has completed his sacrifice to heaven, he has the highest reputation and the situation is getting worse, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Huang Laojun sighed and said, "Let's integrate the internal affairs first. We have the most time now."
After the war, the emperors from all five parties have suffered losses. Even if there is a showdown, they still have to wait for their full glory.
Years go by, time passes, and there are three hundred years in this world.
Creatures are like weeds. They seem humble and insignificant, but they are full of vitality. As long as they are not completely cut off and given time to civilization, they will return a miracle to you.
"Wild fire, in spring."
Qing Zun whispered, but in his heart he sighed: "The power of living beings is awesome and respectable. Fortunately, all living beings are ignorant. This power can be guided and ultimately used by me."
"Qingshen, Lord Jinhuang invites you in."
The white-capped Kunlun Snow Mountain is as bright as a mirror. The enlightened beast stands on the top of the mountain, with eight eyes looking at the three realms, monitoring the ten directions, and one eye acting as a guide to lead the way for Qing Zun.
"Um."
Qing Zun nodded and landed in the holy land of Kunlun. Under the guidance of one eye of the enlightened beast, he passed by the nine wells and nine gates and saw the glorious and solemn buildings, with white jade as the soil, red gold as the stone, Xuanji as the palace, and the golden emperor living in it.
"Who are they?"
Qing Zun glanced at him and discovered that in addition to the gods and gods he served on Kunlun Mountain, there were also some creatures from hundreds of tribes who possessed spiritual energy and could fly ethereally.
The enlightened beast calmly replied: "They are immortals, maids selected by His Majesty the Golden Emperor from among hundreds of tribes. He gave them spirituality and allowed them to live in Kunlun Ruins."
"Immortal? This is the first time I've seen such a creature."
Qing Zun smiled slightly, suppressed the color in his eyes, stepped into the palace, and finally saw the majestic and bright god.
The injury of Si Tian, the punishment of Palm God, the Lord of the West, the Nine Spirits Golden Emperor!
"Qingzun, what are you here for?"
Shen Gongbao looked sideways, not expecting Qing Zun to come.
Qing Zun's expression became serious and he said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Jinhuang, I'm here to inform you that Huang Laojun, Red Emperor, and Bei Lord are going to unite to deal with you."
"But, I think you are the god of the Emperor of Heaven, and I choose to support you."
"That's it."
Shen Gongbao sighed and said: "I am a scattered god in the West. How can the three realms be of any concern to me? Qingzun, this is not my ambition."
"That's such a shame."
Qing Zun sighed slightly, but couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, and then asked: "If you are not the Emperor of Heaven..."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Qing Zun's question.
The enlightened beast hurriedly ran in and reported: "Golden Emperor, Mr. Huang wants to see you."
Qing Zun was stunned for a moment.
Huang Laojun, what is he doing here at this time? !
The enlightened beast turned to look at Qing Zun and asked hesitantly: "Do you want to avoid it?"
Qing Zun looked at Shen Gongbao, wanting to know the Golden Emperor's attitude.
Shen Gongbao sighed and pointed to his screen.
"Thank you, Golden Emperor." Qing Zun breathed a sigh of relief, walked behind the screen, and turned into a narcissus to hide the eyes.
After a while, Huang Laojun stepped forward and said in a shocking voice: "Golden Emperor, I am here to save your life!"
Shen Gongbao immediately narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Who can kill me?"
Huang Laojun said solemnly: "The Black Lord, Qing Zun, and Red Emperor want to kill you, but I don't agree."
"Golden Emperor, among the five gods, you are the most powerful, and I am the highest. If you and I are in alliance, why should we be afraid of the other three gods?"
"Then the country will be divided into half of yours, how about that?"
"This..." Shen Gongbao pretended to be deep in thought, seemingly thinking, but actually he was waiting for someone.
Sure enough, a moment later, the Enlightened Divine Beast stumbled in and said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty the Golden Emperor, unfortunately, the Red Emperor is here too."
Shen Gongbao held up the imperial crown and said seriously: "Why are you panicking? Please come in together."
