"The Twenty-Four Heavenly Lords of the Lei Department have met Emperor Zhenwu!" The twenty-four Heavenly Lords stood in rows and all bowed to Cao Zhe.
Cao Zhe looked at the Twenty-Four Lord, and then went straight to the topic without saying any more nonsense.
All the heavenly monarchs who were originally curious about the sudden return of the 'Zhenwu Emperor' showed embarrassment after hearing this.
"Emperor! Of course we are willing to take orders in this matter."
"It's just the rules of heaven. We dare not disobey them." A heavenly king responded.
But before these words were completely settled, he saw thunder and lightning, and from outside the Thunder Temple, thirty-six more generals poured in.
But who is coming?
They were the thirty-six thunder generals directly under Emperor Zhenwu. Although not all of them were present, most of them were here.
The Twenty-Four Lords and the Thirty-six Thunder Generals all have the rights and functions to perform duties in the Thunder Temple.
It's just that the Thirty-six Thunder Generals mostly sit in the northern starry sky, and rarely overlap with the Twenty-Four Lords.
Now that I received a message from some of the Heavenly Lords and knew that my boss had returned to his position, how could I dare to delay and immediately formed a group to come to the Thunder Temple?
When they saw Cao Zhe, the thirty-six thunder generals all kowtowed with tears in their eyes and shouted loudly, which simply shocked the starry sky.
The leader was none other than the vanguard general Li Fulong who had led his troops down to the realm to support Cao Zhe.
Cao Zhe's eyes swept over the thunder generals.
Sure enough, the few that were missing all had extraordinary origins and had other origins.
For example, Xu Zhenjun, the leader of Wanfa Cult, Shen Gong Miaoji, although he is a subordinate general under Zhenwu, he is also one of the four great heavenly masters. Being counted as a subordinate of Zhenwu is equivalent to taking a temporary position, and he only receives an extra share of incense and merit.
Another example is that among the thirty-six generals of the Thunder Department, Zhao Gongming is regarded as Marshal Zhao of the Golden Wheel Ruyi. He has multiple identities. Among them, in Shinto, the most important identity is not the God of Thunder, but the God of Martial Finance. He was appointed among the generals of the Thunder God Department in order to control the authority of Tianlei. As for the incense... the incense of Wu Caishen is far better than that of all the gods of the Thunder Department.
These gods and immortal families are posted among the thirty-six thunder generals and receive an extra salary. At the same time, the forces of the gods and immortal families are interfering with each other. The details of this need not be described again.
"Since the emperor has returned, why not return to the Temple of the Northern Heavens and sit in the Star Palace?" Li Fulong prostrated himself on the ground and said excitedly.
In Li Fulong's understanding, since ancient times, all the great powers and virtues have disappeared inexplicably, leaving only the body of Taoism.
Between heaven and earth, there is actually a lack of real rulers and masters.
Now that Emperor Zhenwu has returned, he should take charge of the power and even gradually replace the Emperor of Heaven and become the Lord of the Three Realms.
Cao Zhe just smiled and said: "With you here, I feel relieved. What does it matter whether I return or not?"
Then he explained what he wanted to do to the thirty-six thunder generals.
Li Fulong thought about it and said: "There are only two ways to do what the emperor wants!"
"The first method is for the emperor to officially announce his return in the Northern Heavenly Palace, completely eliminating the interference of the Heavenly Emperor in the northern starry sky. Then he will make a rule in the northern starry sky. From now on, all ghost cultivators in the world must fly to the northern sky to survive the tribulation. , we and other thirty-six generals will lay down thunder for a total of nine calamities."
As he said that, Li Fulong looked at Cao Zhe expectantly, hoping that Cao Zhe would agree and directly choose the first method.
Unfortunately, Cao Zhe didn't give him the response he wanted.
As a general, Li Fulong did not dare to have any intention of forcing or reluctance.
"The second method is for the emperor to find the Taoist body of the Heavenly Emperor, discuss with him, and modify the heavenly rules."
"It's just that... the body of the Heavenly Emperor's Taoism, although it is inscrutable, still acts in accordance with the laws. Even if it is in front of the emperor, it may not..."
If you don't say it clearly, it's to save face for your boss.
The general meaning is that the Emperor of Heaven at this time is not flexible enough and may not give Cao Zhe this face.
Modifying the Heavenly Rules would shake the foundation of the Heavenly Emperor's Taoist body. How could the Heavenly Emperor compromise easily?
After hearing this, Cao Zhe nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll have a chat with the Emperor of Heaven."
Let him sit in the northern starry sky, completely activate the star palace of the northern gods, and create a small independent heaven outside of the heaven. This is not impossible... but it is not necessary.
Although heaven is nice, time flows too fast.
If Cao Zhe had been staying in Heaven, he would only have seventy days left in this round of competition. Wouldn't that be too short?
"Emperor...please think twice!" Li Fulong hurriedly advised.
Other Northern Thunder God generals also wanted to dissuade him, but they did not dare to step forward and say nonsense.
He was afraid that Cao Zhe would think that they had gathered together to form a party and wanted to oust the Northern Stars, which would be self-defeating.
Cao Zhe laughed loudly: "No need to think too much. If you are not at ease, why not go with us?"
After saying that, he flicked his long sleeves and flew towards the Lingxiao Palace.
Entering the treasure hall, you see the Taoist body of the Emperor of Heaven.
Although he had fought against the Emperor of Heaven before, this time, Cao Zhe truly saw the Emperor's complete Taoist body.
Compared with Cao Zhe's hand-drawn diagram of the Dharmakaya, the Emperor's Dharmakaya is even more mysterious upon closer inspection.
Of course, Cao Zhe will not delete or modify the Dharmakaya diagram again because of this.
The purpose of the Dharma Body Diagram is to form the shadow of a strong man and guide those warriors who can't walk or run to follow in the footsteps.
And it is not really meant to make them become parody imitations, completely entering a frame and unable to get out... although the possibility of this happening is as high as 60 to 70%.
However, there are always some real heroes who can find the real path left by Cao Zhe.
See something different and wonderful.
Cao Zhe was looking at the Taoist body of the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven was also looking at Cao Zhe.
"You are finally willing to come back!"
"In that case, I will take office immediately, and I will give you the power to supervise all the heavens in the four directions. If there is anything I cannot do, you should do your best to maintain the majesty of heaven and the order of the three realms!" The Taoist body of the Emperor of Heaven looked at Cao Zhe said this.
At this time, the Taoist body of the Emperor of Heaven has no likes and dislikes and no self-emotions.
All of his judgments are based on the operating 'rules' left to him by the real Emperor of Heaven.
The decision to send a flood, punish the world, and warn the world is based on this 'rule'.
Because Cao Zhe blocked it, he wanted to abolish Cao Zhe's Zhenwu fate, which also stemmed from this 'rule'.
At this time, in the setting of the 'rules', when a true emperor and a first-class god returns, he will gradually transfer the power in his hands and let the other party take charge of important matters. This is also the setting of the 'rules'.
The gods from the north who followed Cao Zhe showed joy when they heard what the Emperor of Heaven said.
If Cao Zhe accepts the order, it will be equivalent to changing from the main god of the north to the main god of the four directions, and his authority is completely under the Emperor of Heaven.
In addition, after all, the Emperor of Heaven is only a body of Taoism, and there are too many things that he cannot handle personally. If Cao Zhe agrees, even if he is not the Supreme of the Three Realms in name, he will actually dominate the birth and death of all living beings in the Three Realms.
"Ah! What you said is very tempting!"
"But I don't want to!" Cao Zhe shook his head and refused.
Then he told the purpose of his coming for the third time.
"He is a ghost in the world, tampering with the rules of heaven, and using thunder from the sky to help him practice... Ridiculous and ridiculous! Absolutely impossible!" The Emperor of Heaven refused directly.
Cao Zhe was not surprised.
So, he can execute plan B.
Using a method of negotiation that he was better at, the Emperor of Heaven was able to change his previous stubborn views.
