At the beginning of the creation of the world, five emperors were born adhering to the great road, conforming to the general trend, establishing the heaven, and governing the three realms and six realms, and all living beings.
They symbolize the Five Elements and Five Directions, commanding a divine domain, with vast authority, numerous gods, and countless heavenly soldiers.
They are:
Transformed by the ancestral energy of the central Yuanling - Huang Lao Dijun, wearing a yellow jade crown and five-color divine clothes, often riding a yellow dragon, building a yellow flag, and having a heavenly army of 1.2 million people.
Priesthood: The harmony of the superior nature, the spirit of the five earths below.
Transformed by the ancestral Qi of Southern Danling - Red Emperor True Lord, he wears a red jade crown, a red feather flying robe, often rides a golden crow, builds a red banner, and has 1.3 million heavenly soldiers.
Priesthood: Make all things last forever, and transport the heavenly essence to Southern Xia.
Transformed by the ancestral Qi of Cave Yin in the North - Black Master Xuanjun, wearing a jade crown of Xuanjing, wearing Xuanyu flying clothes, often riding Xuanwu, building soap flags, and having 800,000 heavenly soldiers.
Priesthood: Protect the two rituals without falling, and protect the lives of the people for eternal peace.
Transformed by the ancestral Qi of the Western Haoling - the Golden Emperor Yuanjun, wearing a white jade crown, white feather flying clothes, always riding a Qingluan, building a plain flag, and 700,000 heavenly soldiers.
Priesthood: Leading the spirits to heaven, and guiding all living beings to the spiritual channel.
Transformed by the ancestral Qi of Eastern Qingling - Qing Zun Tianjun, wearing a jade crown of green jade, wearing nine green feathers, often riding a crane, building a quail flag, and 700,000 heavenly soldiers.
Priesthood: To nourish the two rituals for long-lasting existence, and to protect Yin and Yang for eternal prosperity.
Judging from the number of heavenly soldiers and generals, emperors who aspire to the position of heavenly emperor have been recruiting troops to expand their Taoist soldiers and generals.
There are some differences between the five emperors, but they are always in the same field. They are strong in the realm of divine kings. They hope that they can become the true emperors of the gods.
However, if you want to become an emperor and the lord of heaven, you must first suppress other god kings.
If you want to suppress the God King, you must have the realm of an emperor.
This creates an endless loop.
In a stalemate situation, the number of people under his command and the number of soldiers under his command became the decisive force.
Shinto is different from immortality.
Immortalism emphasizes that great power belongs to oneself, detachment and freedom, and one person can exist alone.
Shinto is the way to gather people. The more people who believe in it, the stronger the gods will be.
Give the simplest example.
One person has the strength of one hundred kilograms, two people have the strength of two hundred kilograms, and so on. This is theoretical data.
In reality, it is difficult to do so. One person is like a dragon, and a group of people is like a group of insects. The more people there are, the more dispersed the power is.
But the gods can adjust in the middle and play the role of resonance, perfectly realizing the unity of hundreds of millions of people, the majestic power of overwhelming mountains and seas, and catching the stars and the moon.
Therefore, the war of Shinto is not only a personal war, but also a battle for people, territory, belief, spreading ideas, and attracting all living beings.
Being able to practice the path of gods, even if one does not believe in gods, is one of the sources of power of gods.
The path of the Black Lord in the North is destruction, killing, and darkness. Before the establishment of Heaven, he was killing the innate gods. After the establishment of Heaven, he was killing demons.
Dongfang Qingzun's path is full of vitality. Under the influence of the Golden Emperor Shen Gongbao, he gradually tends to the immortal way. Gods and immortals live together and live overseas. How can the imperial power be added to me.
Among the five gods, the paths of Dongfang Red Emperor and Central Laojun are the most conflicting.
The Red Emperor of the East admires that all living beings are like fire, and the gathering of Tao is like flame, spreading boundless enthusiasm, and his body is like the sun, selflessly contributing his own light and heat.
Huang Laojun believes that it is better to be still than to move. Being too intense will cause damage to the three realms. Under the gestation of nature, all living beings will find their own way out.
When Jinhuang Shen Gongbao was writing "Yang Jian - Nine-nine and Eighty-one Difficulties", Red Emperor and Huang Laojun were fighting so fiercely that the dog's brain was about to come out.
"The scorching red sun rises above the hibiscus, and the golden crow flies to the center of the sky."
The majestic voice of the Red Emperor resounds throughout the world and spreads to the three realms. His majestic figure dominates the world, causing all living beings to rise and fall, and all spirits to kowtow.
Since the beginning of the world, he has formed alliances and established heaven. He has endless ambitions, but he does not hide them.
Just like the great sun in the sky, it is burning so brightly that no one can look directly at it.
The supreme god resides in heaven.
"Chi Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand!"
The brilliance is bright, and the runes fall down one by one, like the stars in the sky, paving it into a rainbow star bridge. Huang Laojun appears in the human world, like the Lord of the Earth and the God of Kindness, walking from the end of the avenue, with steady steps, one step at a time. One sky.
Every step out of the three realms is shaken by it, as if the earth pulses, the universe breathes, and like a supreme god and demon stepping through the abyss of the sky and knocking on the gate, coming to attack the sky in retrograde motion.
One stands in the sky, and the other stands on the earth. Both are sacred lights, the honor of the king.
The light on the divine body shines on the past, present and future, running through the long river of time. It surges and roars endlessly, majestic and indomitable.
All gods and sentient beings trembled in fear, and many wise men understood that the critical moment in history has arrived.
No matter who wins, it will change the structure of the Three Realms.
The passage of time will be changed by this battle. This battle is destined to shake the world and make ghosts and gods cry. It is unprecedented and hard to find forever.
"Huang Laojun, your path is wrong and you are going astray!"
"Heaven shall stand!"
The Red Emperor's voice was like the sound of a celestial bell, shocking the soul, causing countless Red Heavenly Soldiers to roar and shout, bursting with incomparable enthusiasm, swaying the sun, moon, and stars.
“The road hasn’t come to the end yet, so who can say I’m wrong.”
"The road is made."
"There is no road in the world. When more people walk on it, it becomes a road!"
Huang Laojun's soft words were like a breeze surrounding him, crisp and sweet, broadcasting among the three realms.
Countless disciples of Huang Lao shouted and worshiped. Their will was extremely difficult and difficult to defeat, and they forged ahead on the road.
The Red Emperor and Huang Laojun competed not only for the throne of Heavenly Emperor, but also to prove that their path was correct.
This is a battle between emperors and even more, a battle between great avenues!
The battle between the great avenues will never end, and one side is destined to fall.
"It seems that it is difficult to be kind today." Red Emperor sneered, but his face was expressionless.
Huang Laojun looked around in the void and said calmly: "It seems that the others don't intend to interfere."
"The vast sea turns into dust for millions of autumns. Where can I travel on the rugged road of God?"
"Today...let's find out!"
The Red Emperor's eyes were extremely bright, as if the two great suns were blazing, extremely hot, and the immeasurable divine light illuminated every corner of the three realms, omnipresent and meticulous.
Every ray of divine light is like the roar of the golden crow, the sea of fire is churning, and it penetrates the nine heavens!
"I'm afraid you won't make it!"
"Here comes the stick!"
Huang Laojun's body was extremely strong, and he was able to act like the sky and the earth. He suddenly turned into a giant that created the world. The sun, moon and stars were in the sky above his head, and the earth and the earth were under his feet, filling the whole world.
The scepter is held high in the hand and grows with the wind, as if it has turned into a building that reaches the sky and the earth, suppressing the universe.
Innate gods, born and endless, are all starting true gods, and the outstanding ones have reached the realm of god kings.
However, the emperors of the five directions who killed the innate gods, established heaven, led all living beings out of the wilderness, and created an enlightened era were even more powerful among the god kings.
While other innate gods were still immersed in the majestic power given to them by the great road, the emperors of the five directions worked hard and made continuous efforts.
There is a saying that goes well, you are not afraid of genius, you are afraid that genius will work harder than you.
When the innate gods were playing like naughty children in the world, pouring boiling water on the ants, the emperors of the five directions far surpassed them.
The innate gods believe that the divine king is the ruler of the three realms. The emperors of the five directions established the heaven and sought a higher realm, hoping to become a genuine golden immortal emperor.
During the duel between the two emperors, the universe shook, the sun and the moon lost their light, the battle reached the edge of the universe, a galaxy fell and all the nearby celestial bodies were mutilated.
"kill!"
"Destroy!"
The immeasurable energy rushed in crazily, draining out one star field after another. The void was shattered, time and space trembled, and the chaotic energy surged, almost obliterating the avenue.
There is nothing to say, and there is no rest until death. The fierce battle made all living beings in the three realms uneasy, so that the other three god kings appeared one after another, and the few remaining neutral gods in heaven also began to descend to earth to save the world.
"Define the heaven and the earth."
"Establish the universe."
"Plain world!"
After the three god kings and emperors calmed down the disaster in the three realms, they looked towards the other side of the galaxy. The war was still going on, and it was unknown how long it had passed.
A golden crow's sound resounded throughout the universe, penetrating the three realms, and a monstrous sea of fire covered the stars and rivers, creating an infinite true body.
Another figure surrounded by the sun, moon and stars, like a giant who created the world, suddenly fell down and a yellow soul flew out.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
When Shen Gongbao saw this, he immediately shouted loudly.
The Red Emperor turned a deaf ear and quickly blocked the attack, hoping to beat Huang Laojun to death without leaving any further trouble.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."
Shen Gongbao frowned, took Qing Zun and Black Lord, crossed many galaxies, came to the edge of the universe, stopped the Red Emperor, and shouted: "Fellow Taoist, everything is harmonious!"
"Yes, yes."
Qing Zun smiled and said: "Now that the dust has settled, it's better to give up."
"The dust will really settle after I beat him to death."
Chidi sneered and said, "Don't stop me."
"It's not that we want to stop him, it's destiny." The Northern Black Lord said calmly.
"This is destiny." The Red Emperor paused for a moment, hesitating a little, sensing the secret of heaven, but everything was chaotic and there was no difference.
However, Huang Laojun's soul also seized the momentary opportunity and responded to the destiny he had been given, pushing his huge body into the underworld and turning it into infinite underworld.
The three realms of heaven, human world, and the underworld are completed, and creation is in motion.
Although the Netherworld existed in the past, it was empty. The gods regarded it as a wild place and a place of exile.
Now Huang Laojun sacrifices his body, completely transforms the Netherworld, and promotes the further perfection of heaven and earth, which has reached perfection.
Only as the God of the Earth, he is qualified to become the place of reincarnation in this world.
This is his destiny.
"It's too late."
Chi Di looked at this scene with a livid look on his face. He just hesitated for a moment, allowing Huang Laojun to seize the opportunity.
Huang Laojun sacrificed himself and Red Emperor sacrificed Huang Laojun, which are completely different concepts.
In the former, Huang Laojun obtained a huge favor from heaven. Although he failed in his bid for the throne of Heavenly Emperor, he could still become the God of the Netherworld.
In the latter, the Red Emperor can confer the title of God of the Netherworld and firmly control the Netherworld in his hands, becoming the true Lord of the Three Realms.
"The matter has come to this, and my fellow Taoist has not yet paid homage to the Emperor of Heaven."
Shen Gongbao turned around and scolded him, as if he was a bitch of the Emperor of Heaven, but in fact, he was reminding Huang Laojun to be submissive.
Huang Laojun is also a god who understands current affairs and knows the truth of bowing his head for the time being and making a comeback tomorrow.
"I bow to the Emperor of Heaven!"
Huang Laojun was dressed in a black robe without any dignity. He kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, bowing his head and proclaiming his vassal.
The gods took a breath of air. Huang Laojun is a ruthless god. He can pick it up and put it down. If they were in this field, they would really not be able to kneel down.
The Red Emperor remained silent, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense. Therefore, Huang Laojun showed hostility, and he could let him go. But now Huang Laojun appears to be submissive, and the transformation is rapid, which shows that his plans are very big and ambitious. , He has not given up on the throne of Heavenly Emperor.
"My lord, pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven."
Shen Gongbao bowed his hands and took the opportunity to congratulate: "Your Majesty, the Three Realms have been decided, it is best to ascend the throne first."
The Red Emperor returned to God, and a clear understanding emerged in his heart. Yes, everything is for the purpose of becoming the Emperor of Heaven.
As long as he becomes the Heavenly Emperor, he can become a genuine Shinto Emperor. In addition, with the title of Heavenly Court, the little God of the Netherworld is not at his own mercy.
"My lord, pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven."
"My lord, pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven."
Qing Zun and Black Lord had no ambition to seize the emperor. Seeing that Red Emperor won, the Golden Emperor surrendered and immediately bowed down.
The four god kings surrendered, the heaven was unified, and the destiny from the underworld gathered together, like a surging river, extremely surging.
The Red Emperor felt that now was the best time to break through, and it was not appropriate to get entangled.
As for Huang Laojun's soul, he is talking about settling the accounts after the fall.
"I don't dare, you fellow Taoists have praised me."
Even on the eve of his ascension to the throne, the Red Emperor still maintained the appearance of a courteous and virtuous corporal, without showing the slightest hint of domineering.
Shen Gongbao didn't show it on the surface, but he was vigilant in his heart.
The most terrifying thing is the gods who have no expressions of joy or anger. They are talking to you peacefully one second, but they will stab you the next second.
"Emperor Heaven, please go back and prepare for the enthronement ceremony."
"Don't waste time in the Netherworld."
Shen Gongbao coaxed and deceived the Red Emperor away, and then turned around to deal with Huang Laojun's soul.
At this moment, Huang Laojun's soul was filled with black air, exuding an unknown aura, and he almost had red hair on his body.
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist for becoming the Lord of the Underworld."
Shen Gongbao bowed his hands and said congratulations with a smile
Huang Laojun waved his hands repeatedly, showing a look of shame: "It's the little god who failed to ascend to the throne of Heavenly Emperor because of the great trust of the Golden Emperor. If the Golden Emperor hadn't pointed out that there is a glimmer of hope for the Netherworld, I'm afraid the little god would have died right now."
Looking at Huang Laojun, who claimed to be a little god, Shen Gongbao suddenly sighed that the guy who was fighting for the emperor didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp.
But now, if Huang Laojun is left to check and balance the Emperor of Heaven, there is no need to be afraid, but to support him vigorously.
"My fellow Taoist has become the Lord of the Underworld, and I cannot congratulate you."
"Someone gave me a book not long ago, and I will give it to you today."
Shen Gongbao smiled brightly and took out a book, with the three characters "The Legend of the Golden Emperor" clearly written on it, blooming with a bright and bright atmosphere.
"This is?"
Huang Laojun asked with a puzzled look on his face, what did this mean? He really didn't know.
Shen Gongbao stretched out his hand to erase the three words "Jinhuang Zhuan", then turned the book over, and three simple Taoist texts from the "Book of Life and Death" appeared on the back, conveying a meaning of death.
"This...this is!"
Huang Laojun was inexplicably excited, and the newly born Netherworld Priest was urging him to receive this book as soon as possible.
"The North Dipper is the master of life, the South Dipper is the master of death."
"I hope all Taoist friends will use the Book of Life and Death to benefit all sentient beings in the three realms."
Shen Gongbao handed the book of life and death to Huang Laojun.
The new Lord of the Netherworld, Huang Laojun, was holding the Book of Life and Death. He could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He looked at the Golden Emperor and solemnly said: "Fellow Taoist knows the Netherworld and holds the Book of Life and Death. You are the hidden king of the Netherworld!"
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly and said deceitfully: "Fellow Taoist is the master of destiny. Emperor Fengdu, I am just a follower of the dragon and not worth mentioning."
"No!"
Huang Laojun's expression calmed down, he took a deep breath and said, "I have nothing to repay for the great kindness of the Golden Emperor. I am willing to give you half of the underworld."
"Honored title: Ksitigarbha!"
