"Okay, little friend, you are really happy. Do you need to sign a covenant?" The City God looked happy, and the red light around his body made waves. Obviously, he still wanted Zhou Bai to agree.
There is no way, although gods can live forever, they don't have to worry about the life span of mortals.
But that situation mostly refers to the innate gods. For example, the incense god like him is still granted by the dynasty, so it is inevitable that he will have some worries about the future.
Daxu seems to have passed the three hundred years of a normal dynasty. Even if it can be revived again, it will only be five hundred years at most.
After more than two hundred years like this, who in the new dynasty will remember him? The god of Pingcang City God may be replaced by the god of the new dynasty.
Without incense, their incense gods are nothing. Sooner or later they will die in people's oblivion.
Only the higher you go, the greater the probability that the new dynasty will continue to enact edicts to appease the old gods.
The city god had no choice but to bet on Zhou Bai. It was very difficult for gods like theirs to get promoted.
The system of the Great Xuyang Dynasty includes evaluation every three years, transfer at the higher level, retention at the middle level or transfer at the same level, and relegation at the lower level.
But the system of the underworld does not have a three-year rule. It is normal to be evaluated every ten or twenty years, and even the superior gods cannot make the decision on promotion and demotion, and must seek the consent of the Dragon Court.
After Longting agrees, he will inform the Yangshi court again, and then he will use his luck to upgrade you.
One carrot, one pit, and such a complicated process made Ping Cang Cheng Huang feel a little desperate.
Otherwise, He wouldn't enjoy such luxury now. Why does God's Realm store so much incense? It's all in vain if God's throne doesn't mention anything. Instead of wasting it, it's better to treat it.
"The covenant will not be signed. I believe in each other's credibility and it will be a pleasure to cooperate." Zhou Bai raised his glass with a smile.
After a whole night of banquets, this was the second time Zhou Bai toasted with the City God.
He has no cultivation now, no suitable covenant constraints, and neither party will believe it even if he signs it.
In the future, one of the two will inevitably surrender. All alliances in this world are based on strength.
After draining the wine in the cup, the city god casually touched the table in front of Zhou Bai. All the leftovers on it disappeared, replaced by a set of four treasures of the study, complete with paper and pen.
Zhou Bai nodded and started writing without any delay.
"The opening verse of the Sutra of the City God's Induction. The Lord of the City takes refuge in his robes, and the mighty spirit controls the universe... I will recite the Sutra now, wishing that the light of grace will come down... At this time, the City God will pity all living beings in the world, and may there be years In the calamity and misfortunes of the moon, the stagnation of fate, the heaven and earth net, the widows and widows are lonely... In all the calamities, if you recite this sutra, I will quickly send the plague messengers and collect the plague saints, so that the book of sins can be wiped out, and the evil roots will be destroyed forever."
In just a short while, a magnificent sutra about the induction of the City God came out. Although the City God had been mentally prepared for it, he was still very excited after reading this sutra.
He didn't know that this City God's Induction Sutra was engraved in every City God's temple on the blue star where Zhou Bai lived, so he thought it was a rare and unique copy.
I don’t know how much role such a dedicated Taoist priest can play in spreading the faith of the City God. As long as the temple blessings recognized by him are spread widely enough, even if the dynasty changes in the future, he will not fall too quickly.
The City God placed Zhou Bai's manuscript in a treasure box, and then said happily: "In that case, I will give you another gift, follow me."
I saw him walking up to Zhou Bai and gently placing his hand on his shoulder. His originally gentle and calm temperament suddenly turned into a solemn and serious one, with his red divine light calm and calm.
Suddenly, a world changed before Zhou Bai's eyes. It felt very familiar, calm and quiet, and darkness was always the main theme.
"Is this the lower world, the underworld?"
"Well, this place is the Netherland area corresponding to Pingcang County. People usually come here after death." City God replied while looking at the surroundings, seemingly looking for something.
When a person dies as a ghost, if there is no special opportunity, he can only stay in the upper world for a maximum of seven days. If he resists the guidance of the underworld, his soul will be scattered.
Whatever he thought came to mind, Zhou Bai was still thinking that there were not as many evil ghosts here as in the ghost world. Unexpectedly, countless ghosts suddenly emerged from all directions, hiding in the dark and preparing to attack this place.
The City God is the local official in charge of the underworld, but now it seems that his control is not that tight?
Although these ghosts did not dare to approach this bright and bright red, and seemed a little afraid of the city god, but they were a little too courageous just to covet it.
He is your priest, and this is extremely offensive.
Perhaps because he noticed something different in Zhou Bai's expression, or perhaps because he had just received a benefit, Pingcang City God talked about secrets that were difficult for mortals in the Yang world to know.
"This land of the underworld is unfathomable and involves many things. We, the priests, can only struggle to maintain basic order..."
It turns out that when praying for rain before, the entire pantheon of Pingcang City God's Divine Domain was not there. It was not that they were deliberately avoiding the people's wishes, but they were all brought to the underworld by the City God.
There had just been a riot here before, and ghosts from all directions started fighting for some unknown reason. There was even a ghost hero trying to raise a flag and establish his power.
It's okay for you to just fight around and create a system to challenge the majesty of Hades. This is the bottom line that the official gods cannot tolerate.
Therefore, Pingcang City God didn't care about the Yang world at all, and went out to the underworld to quell the rebellion.
"The underworld is so chaotic, doesn't Heaven care?" Zhou Bai glanced at the dark place, where a sad ghost was staring at his newcomer.
"What does Heaven represent?"
"Heaven represents rules and order, but what would happen if a world only had rules and order? No, it should be said that there is no such world in the entire universe."
"And do you think Heaven hasn't tried it? In the past, Heaven had set up the Underworld..."
At this time, the City God didn't care whether Zhou Bai was a mortal or not, and whether he could understand it. Or maybe he thought it was no big deal, but he said everything he could say anyway.
The underworld tried to establish order, but ended up collapsing for no reason. Will the King of Hell also fall?
This underworld is not unique to one world, but is interconnected throughout the universe?
The more Zhou Bai listened, the more horrified he became. The city god said it was his own speculation, but he felt that it seemed to be very close to the truth.
Even if the energy level of the ghost world is so low, the underworld still exists, and it is even more chaotic and disorderly.
Just because of the power of Heaven, the main world of the underworld has local priests to suppress it and maintain the most basic order.
After a long time, a ball of divine light suddenly flew back from the north. This was some kind of magical technique used by the City God just now.
"I found it, the same aura as yours."
"What?" Zhou Bai vaguely thought of something in his mind, and his face showed excitement.
"Your parents!" The city god grabbed Zhou Bai again and turned into a divine rainbow and galloped north.
It was said that he had poor control over the underworld, but now the city god still seemed to be powerful, and he was able to put down the riot, and no big ghost didn't blink an eye.
Finally, in a remote Netherland village, Zhou Bai saw his parents who had become extremely weak.
