Chapter 914 No Longer the God of Anshan
The transition to a new era requires gradual adjustment and transition.
Some immortals and gods secretly suppress the spiritual sciences only because they feel that their status is being shaken, but it does not mean that they are unforgivable and cannot be given any chance.
The immortals and gods who can survive the great calamity all have deep affinity with him.
If they were to kill him with one blow in order to protect Lingke, it would be equivalent to subverting the ancient philosophy and status of the Heavenly Court. Many immortals would question the meaning of their existence and be confused about the future, causing chaos in the hearts of the immortals and unrest in the Heavenly Court.
The immortal god system and the spiritual science system are both the transformation from the old era to the new era and the collision of the two systems. It is impossible for there to be harmony during this period, and challenges and difficulties are bound to arise.
No one can predict what the final situation will be.
On the surface, the Emperor of Heaven will still be more inclined towards the system of immortals and gods in heaven, and will not let these immortals and gods who have survived the great tribulations feel disheartened.
The return of Yuan Zun serves as the bridge between the two systems and he is an important figure in the transition from the old era to the new era.
Li Yuan is not only a righteous god in heaven with outstanding achievements, everyone admires him; he is also a promoter of spiritual science, blessing all living beings and respected by all spirits.
If there is anyone who can dispel the fear of immortals and gods towards spiritual science and prevent the two systems from becoming completely opposed, it must be Li Yuan and his relatives and friends.
Facing Li Yuan's half-smiley question, the Lingxiao Palace fell silent for a moment. After hundreds of immortals and gods pondered for a moment, they still said yes respectfully.
Yuan Zun expressed his meaning that he would not settle accounts for what happened in the past few hundred years at this moment, but the saying that "Heaven does not support idle gods" was also a reminder that they need to prove themselves with actions and achievements.
The greatest crisis in Heaven right now is the extreme shortage of personnel. Many immortals and gods are risking their lives, taking on multiple roles, and struggling to keep all things in the three realms running.
This is what the Emperor of Heaven is currently worried about. All of them, the immortals and gods who can ascend to the Lingxiao Palace to discuss matters, are the backbone of the Heavenly Court. Naturally, they need to come up with good plans to share the worries of the Emperor of Heaven.
The gods began to discuss the matter, and eventually recommended several methods, but the general idea was to find people with predestined relationships in the human world, consider their moral character, and life merits, choose the best ones, grant them divine positions, and have them serve in heaven.
At this time, the importance of the human world is reflected.
No matter how glorious and powerful the heaven and the underworld are, fresh blood will eventually come from the human world. After the righteous gods and the immortals fall, they will eventually be reincarnated.
The huge basic number of all living things in the world, which continue to reproduce, is the top priority in supporting the cycle of the three realms.
When it comes to finding people who have made great contributions in the human world, many immortals and gods can't help but turn their eyes to Yuan Zun.
Li Yuan did smile, with a trace of calmness and composure on his face, but anyone could see the flash of pride that passed across his face.
Anshan!
The backbone of the human world against the catastrophe! If the new round of deification still gives priority to those who have made contributions, then it is foreseeable that Anshan will produce a large number of beings who ascend to heaven and become gods!
The direction of the Heavenly Court is really going to change!
Some immortals and gods with sharp minds secretly sighed.
Many immortals and gods had sneered at Li Yuan's arrogance and Anshan's act of fighting against a rock with an egg. After all, that was a vast catastrophe that swept across the three realms!
But now, Li Yuan has been promoted to the realm of Dao Zun, with the imperial title of Yuan Zun, and is extremely glorious and brilliant. Who dares to laugh at him anymore?
The creatures of Anshan led by him, as well as many hidden races in the human world, fought with all their might and shed blood to resist the catastrophe. Now that the catastrophe is over, it is natural that they will usher in a huge round of rewards!
The meeting in the Lingxiao Palace lasted for a long time. Although the heaven would never fall into night, a day and a night had passed on earth.
Li Yuan did not speak again, but just listened to the discussions and memorials of the gods together with the Emperor of Heaven. In the end, many details of the enfeoffment were finalized before the meeting ended and they left.
This was just a preliminary meeting to determine the general direction and process. The gods in various departments of the Heavenly Court would still be busy for a long time before they could present the missing priesthoods and the corresponding names of the consideration targets.
Walking out of the Lingxiao Palace, Li Yuan ignored the respectful and flattering looks from the gods in heaven and disappeared in a flash.
There is no urgent matter on the Emperor's side for the time being. He has not returned for hundreds of years, so naturally he has to go back and take a look now.
However, after taking a step forward, Li Yuan found that he did not return to the human world, but walked back to the empty Lingxiao Palace.
"..."
"Is there anything else?"
Li Yuan was speechless and looked up at the Emperor on the throne.
The Queen Mother had already left, Laojun and others also dispersed. In the huge Lingxiao Palace, only the Emperor of Heaven was alone, and it was obvious that he had something special to tell him.
"The Star Department has no leader, so Yuankui Star Lord will take over and rule over the stars."
The Emperor spoke calmly.
Li Yuan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. After all, he was Yuankui Star Lord. Now that Tianxuan was missing, he would definitely have to take over.
So he nodded.
"The mountain master has fallen, the river master died in battle, and the mountain and river divisions are now under your control."
"From now on, there will be no Ten Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Rivers. As the common master of the mountains and rivers, can you manage them well?"
The Emperor of Heaven continued, holding a roll of memorials, and slightly pinched his brows. It was obvious that after the catastrophe, the Heavenly Realm was in ruins and would also usher in a period of hardship.
Li Yuan was silent for a moment, then rolled his eyes at the Emperor of Heaven: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven! Do you think I'm the hard-working model of the Heavenly Court, Senior Xuanlong?"
"If you really need people, just get the Four Lords of Heaven back. With your ability as the Emperor of Heaven, it won't be a simple matter..."
He remembered the care of Master Xuanlong Tianfu and was always grateful for it. He didn't want this senior to die in battle.
The Emperor of Heaven chuckled and shook his head, his face stern:
"Xuanlong has been loyal and hardworking, and has made great contributions. He will come back... However, he will have to hone himself in the mortal world for a few lifetimes before that can happen."
Obviously, this was a tip to Li Yuan that the Emperor of Heaven was not indifferent to the deaths of all immortals and gods in battle, and some of them would return sooner or later.
"Okay, I'll hold on for now until Heaven is no longer short of people."
Li Yuan thought about it and agreed.
"besides......"
The Emperor of Heaven suddenly spoke, and there was a rare hint of negotiation in his tone, but if you listened carefully, it seemed that he was full of firmness and would not tolerate disobedience.
"I will strip you of your position as the god of Anshan Mountain."
"You will soon be in a high position in both the Mountain and River Departments, and you will also be in charge of the Star Department. You must consider fairness and justice in every move you make. You cannot have power and territory all by yourself in the human world."
The mountain god is managed by the Jade Order, the Jade Order is managed by the Hundred Mountains Sacrifice, the Hundred Mountains Sacrifice is managed by the Thousand Mountain Lords and Mountain Masters.
But if it is the mountain owner’s own mountain, who can manage it, and who dares to manage it?
In the vast heavenly system, balance is particularly important, and no special forces that cannot be controlled are allowed to emerge.
Li Yuan was stunned and sighed silently in his heart.
This day finally arrived. I had the same feeling when I fell and returned to the mountain before... Yuan Zun has gone too far, and sooner or later he will cut off his connection with Anshan.
Otherwise, even if he has a clear conscience, his heart will unconsciously lean towards Anshan. Once something happens, he may be unfair and unable to convince the public.
Moreover, the creatures of Anshan rely on the support of Yuan Zun and are not afraid of any cause and effect. As time goes by, they will sooner or later become rebellious, gradually decay, develop into an independent force, and become a hidden danger to the three realms.
If I want to unveil the curtain of a new era, I, the Source Master, must not sit on my side.
"I see."
Li Yuan gradually calmed down, and no sadness or joy could be heard in his voice.
The Emperor of Heaven knew that this matter was a bit difficult for Li Yuan. After all, he had traveled around the human world and knew that every blade of grass and every bit of Anshan had been infused with a lot of Li Yuan's effort and emotion.
I couldn't help but say something to comfort her:
"I am only setting a fair example for the gods in heaven. As the Source Lord, your achievements are world-shaking and no one can restrain you. You can come back to Anshan often."
Li Yuan also knew that it was difficult for the Emperor of Heaven to deal with him. He could not get any special treatment in front of so many immortals and gods, especially at this important juncture when the old and new eras were changing.
Since I have chosen to support the Heavenly Court wholeheartedly, I have expected that this day will come sooner or later.
"Okay, why bother making such a fuss? It's just a matter of depriving a person of his nominal position as a deity..."
"I'm going home to check on my family. Don't stop me if you have nothing else to do!"
Li Yuan looked indifferent, waved his hand, turned around and disappeared into the Lingxiao Palace.
