Chapter 197: The Greatest Benefit

May I ask.

At this time, besides the God Race, which other race in the entire Honghuang possesses more than a dozen Supreme Gods of the Primordial Origin Peak Realm, tens of thousands of Conferred God Great Luo, hundreds of millions of Taiyi God, and countless Main Gods comparable to Golden Immortals? Although the strength of their Human Race gods all comes from the fortune of the Imperial Dynasty itself.

Once an official position is revoked, it is as if one has been cast down to the earthly realm.

However, this is of no consequence to the Human Race as a whole; after all, within an Imperial Dynasty, apart from the Human Emperor, who else could revoke the official positions of the hundred officials? Furthermore, the Human Emperor is the strongest in the Imperial Dynasty, and the will of the Human Emperor is the will of Heaven.

Apart from a Great Supernatural Being of the Primordial Origin Realm, who would dare to provoke a powerful Imperial Dynasty at will? Thinking of this, Fuxi bowed respectfully and then said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, in Fuxi's view, although the current state of the Human Race is good, there are also improper aspects!"

Hearing this, Gu Zhangqing immediately became interested and then asked: "What is improper?"

"At this time, the development of the Human Race has reached its bottleneck. If there is no breakthrough within ten thousand years, it will inevitably trigger a great war among the myriad dynasties, and the Human Race under Heaven will fall into chaos!"

Speaking of this, Fuxi and the supreme beings such as Shennong beside him were all extremely grave.

Gu Zhangqing smiled, then nodded, signaling Fuxi to sit down.

Afterwards, under the gaze of the gods, he said indifferently: "The Human Divine Rice is one of the three Divine Ways of the Divine Court, and it holds great significance, so it should have a Heavenly Dynasty!"

Seeing the look of confusion on the gods' faces, Gu Zhangqing explained.

"A Heavenly Dynasty is the pinnacle of the Human Divine Rice's fortune-based dynasty; the master of a Heavenly Dynasty, within the territory of the Heavenly Dynasty, has strength comparable to a Saint!"

"Among its civil and military officials, the first rank is the highest, with an official position comparable to a Supreme God, and the ninth rank is the entry level, with an official position comparable to a Demigod (Earth Immortal)!"

After the gods heard this, most of them gasped in succession.

The master of a Heavenly Dynasty is even comparable to a Prover of Rice, and it is so simple—one can enjoy the prosperity and wealth of the earthly realm without the hardship of cultivation. Such a good thing truly made them envious! Yet Fuxi was full of worry about this and could not help but ask: "There are over ten thousand Imperial Dynasties of the Human Race at this time; apart from us, they do not submit to one another. Which Human Emperor should be chosen as the master of the Heavenly Dynasty?"

"Listen to what this Emperor has to say first!"

"Yes!" Seeing this, Fuxi bowed respectfully and sat back in his original seat.

"The Heavenly Dynasty is the most important part of the Human Divine Rice; it is very different from other dynasties, Imperial Dynasties, and Emperor Dynasties.

Under a Heavenly Dynasty, gods and officials are combined; without an official position, there is no god. But the Heavenly Dynasty is different. The Heavenly Dynasty is like the Ancient Heavenly Court. Regardless of whether you are a mortal or an immortal, as long as you are conferred an official position, from that day on, unless you die, this position shall be yours for eternity! Even if you are promoted, you can only be promoted in official rank, but you cannot be promoted in official position!"

"Within the Heavenly Dynasty, apart from the Heavenly Emperor who is the master of the Heavenly Dynasty, the Heavenly Dynasty should also have a Heavenly Empress who sets the standard for the world, as well as the Three Ancestors, the Three Emperors, the Five Great Emperors, the Four Heavenly Masters, the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings..."

When Gu Zhangqing finished speaking about all the official positions of the Heavenly Dynasty, Fuxi and the other five fell into deep thought.

Undoubtedly.

It was very easy for them to find the corresponding personnel for these official positions.

The Three Ancestors could only be the three ancestors of the Human Ancestral Land, and the Three Emperors could only be he, Fuxi, his second brother Shennong, and his third brother Xuanyuan.

There is no need to mention the Five Great Emperors; they are naturally Zhuanxu, Di Ku, Yao Emperor, Shun Emperor, and Yu Emperor.

As for the remaining Four Heavenly Masters and Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings, they did not know who they were.

It was mainly because there were too many suitable people in the Human Race today, and this small number of peak official positions with real power was simply not enough to go around! Just as they were thinking this, Gu Zhangqing's next sentence left them bewildered.

"This Emperor has said it before: after One Yuan Epoch, which is 129,600 years, the status of the Human Emperor will be downgraded to the status of the Son of Heaven.

This Son of Heaven is the son of the Heavenly Rice and shares the same status as a Saint. While his strength will increase, the Human Rice will therefore be one notch lower than the Heavenly Rice!"

Seeing that Fuxi and the others still did not quite understand, Gu Zhangqing shook his head and stated.

"That is to say, the Human Race can only have one Human Rice Saint and twelve Sub-Saints in this lifetime!" Hearing this, Fuxi could not help but ask hoarsely: "Your Majesty, what if the status of the Human Emperor is not downgraded?"

"If the status of the Human Emperor is not downgraded, as time passes, you of the Human Race will have two outcomes."

"One is division, and the other is complete unification, becoming the Eternal Divine Dynasty of the current age."

"What is a Divine Dynasty?" Fuxi asked again.

"A Divine Dynasty is like this Emperor's Divine Court; a Divine Dynasty should have nine Human Emperors comparable to Saints! But this is almost impossible to achieve!" Gu Zhangqing said calmly.

"Why?" Fuxi's eyes turned somewhat red, and bloodshot veins gradually filled his eyeballs.

Shennong, who was on the side, could not help but sigh lightly when he saw this, then tugged at Fuxi's robe, signaling him not to ask any further.

Those involved are confused, while the bystanders see clearly.

Many of the gods around them also gradually understood something at this time and looked at Fuxi and the others with expressions full of pity.

Gu Zhangqing looked at the grief-stricken Fuxi with deep eyes and remained silent for a moment.

Then he said faintly: "If it were not for this Emperor's Human Divine Rice and the Divine Court's Heavens and Myriad Worlds, how could you of the Human Race have your current achievements? There is even less need to talk about that unattainable Divine Dynasty!"

After saying this, Gu Zhangqing continued indifferently: "What's more, the Heavenly Rice will no longer allow another Divine Court to appear; the Earth Rice will not allow it, the Mysterious Gate will not allow it, and even this Emperor will not allow it!"

Honghuang is only so big; how could there possibly be another freak like the Divine Court? Not to mention that the Gods' Great Will is already enough for the Heavenly Rice to handle; if another uncontrollable Humanity Will were to come, that would be disastrous! Shaking his head, Gu Zhangqing continued.

"The biggest difference between the Human Rice and the two Daos of Heaven and Earth is that its changes far exceed those of the Heavenly Rice and the Earth Rice. Human hearts are unpredictable, and the Human Rice is too influenced by the will of all living beings."

"If the will of all living beings is evil, then the Human Rice is evil! Think about it: when the master of a Divine Dynasty, who represents the Human Rice, one day attempts to conquer Heaven and slay gods, the Human Rice will therefore comply with the will of all living beings and thus conquer Heaven and slay gods!"

Speaking of this, Gu Zhangqing looked at the astonished Fuxi and said indifferently: "Therefore, do not think about the future of such a master of a Divine Dynasty; the downgrading of the Human Emperor is already inevitable!"

"Instead of having that time, you might as well think about how to obtain the greatest benefits in the contest between the Divine and Immortal Daos!"

After saying this.

Gu Zhangqing stopped paying attention to the dazed Fuxi and then swept his gaze toward the gods.

"This matter concerns the Human Divine Rice. You must cooperate with Fuxi; within ten thousand years, you must select the most suitable master of the Heavenly Dynasty from the many Imperial Dynasties! Afterwards, you will compete with the master of the Heavenly Dynasty chosen by the Mysterious Gate!"

"We understand!"

The gods said with slightly grave expressions.

Gu Zhangqing nodded slightly and then said again: "The second item of the meeting!"

"Regarding the Universe Great Thousand and the Divine Court's Heavens and Myriad Worlds."

"In the Universe Great Thousand, with the Infinite God King Star inside, this Emperor is very reassured. But as the Universe Great Thousand gradually expands, it will inevitably encounter Chaos Creatures. Therefore, outside the Universe Great Thousand, it is also necessary to station a Creation God who is a Prover of Rice!"

When Gu Zhangqing finished speaking, Cangtian thought for a moment and could not help but ask: "Your Majesty, the universe has already taken shape after all. If it is only to protect its safety, how long must one be stationed there?"

"Wait until Yang Mei and the stars awaken!"
