Chapter 193: Enfeoffment in the Human World Dynasty
They were not without experience in opposing Human World Dynasties, but these Immortal Rice Cultivators would inevitably suffer immense suppression the moment they entered the territory of a Human World Dynasty.
That majestic Human Emperor Will, along with the Dynasty Will and even the Humanity Will, oppressed their strength to the point where less than one in ten remained, which was truly humiliating.
Therefore.
Now, with only a mere One Yuan Epoch of time, even if the Human World Dynasty does not collapse after the Human Emperor is downgraded, its strength will be greatly diminished.
By then.
Their sect forces will certainly be able to look down upon the human imperial courts once again, and while enjoying human incense, they will stand above the monarchs.
However.
Their thoughts were quite optimistic; if they knew that once Gu Zhangqing's Three Divine Ways were perfected and the Gods' Great Will had completely transformed, they would soon be unable to laugh.
Consequently.
With Hongjun, Gu Zhangqing, and the others harboring different thoughts, they discussed the Three Talents Way of Heaven, Earth, and Man in detail, as well as the matter of the Human Emperor's downgrading, before parting ways.
After all, once the Human Emperor Fruit Position was confirmed to be downgraded, both Gu Zhangqing's Divine Court and Hongjun's Mysterious Gate had to make early preparations to cope with future changes.
Just like the original history of the Primordial World, the trajectory had returned to the Conferring of the Gods Great Tribulation.
It was just that one was the God Immortal Tribulation (Killing Tribulation) for the disciples under the Saints, and the other was the Killing Tribulation for the various major Fortune Dynasties in the human world.
At this time.
After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the number of Human World Dynasties among the Human Race reached tens of thousands.
Tens of thousands of Human Race Fortune Dynasties, with countless human Divine Officials standing there, suppressed the Primordial World's countless tribes and even sect forces, making it difficult for them to raise their heads.
Lesser Immortal Rice Cultivators, such as those below the Golden Immortal level, were almost completely suppressed in the face of the Human Emperor Will of the Human World Fortune Dynasties.
And cultivators below the Primordial level were also completely suppressed in the face of the Humanity Will.
Although the Quasi-Saints of the Mysterious Gate did not fear the Humanity Will, they would still be suppressed by it, thereby only being able to exert the strength of a Daluo.
But regarding this Daluo strength, one must know that the masters of the Human World Dynasties, almost every Human Emperor, had strength comparable to a Daluo Golden Immortal; how could these high-and-mighty Quasi-Saint Great Supernatural Beings tolerate this?
Therefore.
The Killing Tribulation targeting the masters of the Human World Dynasties was inevitable.
Zixiao Palace.
After Gu Zhangqing led the group of Creation Gods away, Taishang Laozi and the other Heavenly Rice Saints sat upright, looking at the silent Hongjun Daozu.
"Nuwa!"
Nuwa's expression paused, and she immediately responded respectfully: "Disciple is here!"
Hongjun looked at her carefully, as if seeing through countless possibilities.
"The Universe Great Thousand has just opened, and the matter is of great importance. If there is nothing else, you should reside in the Chaos!" Hongjun said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Nuwa showed a thoughtful expression.
Admittedly, as the Human Race Holy Mother, she naturally enjoyed a portion of the Human Luck, and even thirty to forty percent of the Humanity Luck.
But if she wanted to use this to participate in the dispute between the Divine and Immortal paths, it would be somewhat counterproductive.
However.
The only thing that worried her slightly was the remaining Demon Race and Fuxi, who was now the Human Heavenly Emperor.
If her departure caused some accidents she did not want to see, she would regret it endlessly.
But.
As one of the insiders who knew the true purpose of the Universe Great Thousand, she did not want to lose the opportunity for the future Saint Venerable position in the Universe Great Thousand. Perhaps she did not know what the ultimate goal of Hongjun Daozu, Gu Zhangqing, and the Chaos Demon God Yang Mei was.
But she knew that as the Universe Great Thousand gradually took shape, its rate of expansion and its speed of absorbing Chaos Qi would one day exceed that of the Primordial World.
If she could contribute to the Universe Great Thousand before it was perfected, she would certainly have a place as a Saint Venerable in this rumored future Eternal Realm.
As a Top Great Thousand Universe, the Primordial World could only possess a limit of nine Saints comparable to Primordial Daluo.
Then the Saint Venerable positions in this future Eternal Universe Great Thousand would certainly be comparable to Primordial Infinite Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Now, placed before her.
One was to listen to her teacher Hongjun, go to the Chaos, guard the growth of the Universe Great Thousand, and provide the strength to escort it.
In the future, she could use this merit to plan for a Saint Venerable position.
The second was to refuse her teacher Hongjun's words and join the Three Pure Ones and the two Western Saints in the dispute between the Divine and Immortal paths.
To escort the Demon Race and the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi.
Seeing her hesitation, Hongjun spoke frankly: "One hundred Yuan Epochs ago, I once had an agreement with that Shengling Huang!"
Hongjun's words successfully stirred the minds of everyone present, and they were all curious about what Hongjun, Shengling Huang, and Yang Mei had discussed and what agreement they had reached.
After all, they were also the small group of people at the peak of the Primordial World, and the only ones who knew secrets they did not were the three peak figures who had attained the Proof of Rice.
"I once agreed with Shengling Huang to use the fourth batch of Innate Sacred Beings as one of the stakes; the Mysterious Gate and the Divine Court would each control a dynasty and develop for one Yuan Epoch to see whose dynasty was the most prosperous, and the winner would gain the right to use the fourth batch of Innate Sacred Beings, and even..."
Speaking of this, Hongjun paused and looked at them indifferently.
"And even your sect disciples; if the Divine Rice wins this agreement, your disciples must enter the Human World Dynasties and be enfeoffed as officials! If we of the Mysterious Gate win, then the Human World Dynasties will be enfeoffed by our mountain sect forces outside the imperial court; this is the Divine Right of Kings!"
Once these words were spoken, Yuqing Yuanshi, who was most protective of his disciples, immediately asked: "Teacher, what was the result?"
Hongjun did not answer, but Taishang Laozi, who was on the side, stated the final result.
"It was a draw!"
Laozi said definitively.
Tongtian thought that Laozi also knew about this matter and had kept it from them along with Hongjun.
He immediately asked in a low, aggrieved voice: "Eldest Brother, since you knew about this, why didn't you tell us?"
It was no wonder he was like this; after all, among the Four Teachings, his disciples were the most numerous.
If the Mysterious Gate had lost, wouldn't all his disciples have to be enfeoffed in the Human World Dynasties? However.
Taishang Laozi shook his head helplessly and explained to Yuanshi and Tongtian: "This was an agreement between the three of us teachers; how would I know about this!"
"You two are truly foolish. Why don't you think about whether the fourth batch of Innate Divine Beings in our hands has ever been handed over? And have our disciples ever been enfeoffed by the Human World Dynasty?"
"Never... So that's how it is!" Tongtian had just finished shaking his head when he suddenly cried out in realization.
"Haha~! Since we haven't lost, and the opposing Human World Dynasty hasn't enfeoffed our disciples either, then it can only be a draw!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yuanshi, who had been worried about being blamed, was also stunned, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
Thinking of himself as a dignified Saint, his exceptionally talented disciples represented the face of his Chan Sect; he could not bear for his own disciples to accept titles from mere mortals who relied on trickery to become Heavenly Gods.
"Teacher, since it is a draw, then this time for us..." Having said this, Taishang Laozi could not help but look hesitantly at Hongjun Daozu.
"The last time was an agreement between me and Shengling Huang; the current situation is different!"
