Chapter 290 Haotian
"Prison God, I am sending these gods to you on the orders of Buddha Wu Tian! These children will be under your command from now on. Please take good care of these gods and make sure nothing goes wrong!"
Wu Tian’s cultivation is not inferior to Tathagata’s, and the Twelve-Rank Black Lotus of Destruction is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
After all the powerful people in Heaven gave up resistance and handed over the ruling power of the three realms to Tathagata as agreed with him.
The rest of the heavenly soldiers and generals and low-level gods had no power to resist . As the shadow of the black lotus of destruction fell from the void, they all became limp and fainted on the ground, with a black lotus of destruction above their heads. All their cultivation, magic power, energy and spirit were sealed.
The heavenly soldiers and generals in the Tianlao Palace are no exception.
At the gate of the Heavenly Prison, the Monkey released a group of gods from the black lotus, and left a group of subordinates for Li Anran to command.
"Saint Envoy Black Lotus, rest assured! I have been guarding the Heavenly Prison for so many years, and nothing has gone wrong before, and it will be the same in the future!"
Li Anran immediately ordered a group of monsters to guard various places in the Heavenly Prison, replacing the original positions of the heavenly soldiers and generals, and he personally escorted the gods into the Heavenly Prison one by one.
Li Anran has been guarding the Heavenly Prison for more than six hundred years. It would be easy for him to rally the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Prison Palace to rebel together.
But he didn't want to do that!
As the last disciple of Taiyi Tianzun, he had a strong background. Even if he defected to Wujitan, he would only be fined three cups of wine in the end.
Those heavenly soldiers and generals are different.
If they had followed Li Anran to join Wu Tian, or if they had stood on Li Anran's side when Li Anran and Yang Jian were plotting against the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms.
If Li Anran and his men fail, these heavenly soldiers and generals will definitely be held accountable.
Li Anran simply excluded them and didn't let them get involved.
"Prison God, you actually surrendered to the demon?!"
“Why is this happening!”
"Li Anran, as a disciple of Taiyi Tianzun, you have done something that is disgraceful to your master. Aren't you afraid that Tianzun will purge you?"
…
Wutan only used the black lotus to seal the spirit, energy, and magical powers of the gods, but their consciousness was still clear.
When the gods were released from the black lotus by the monkey, they thought that it was Li Anran who rescued them. After hearing the conversation between Li Anran and the monkey, they suddenly realized what was going on and were all shocked and couldn't believe it.
When they came to their senses, they glared at each other and started shouting loudly.
The Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun and a few other gods who knew the truth about the gambling match between Tathagata and Wujitian and that Tathagata was just pretending to have his magic power sealed were all surprised. They didn't know whether this was arranged by Taiyi Tianzun or Li Anran acted on his own initiative.
Taishang Laojun glanced at Yang Jian beside him, and Yang Jian was still as cold and calm as usual.
Taishang Laojun deliberately said: "Yang Jian, Li Anran has always been close to you. How can you watch him degenerate and collude with evil? While he has not made a serious mistake, persuade him to turn back as soon as possible!"
As soon as these words came out, many gods and immortals around looked at Yang Jian in unison, and echoed them one after another: "God of Justice, what the Supreme Dao Ancestor said is reasonable! If you can persuade the God of Prison to mend his ways, we can join hands and perhaps resolve the catastrophe of the Three Realms!"
Yang Jian raised his eyes slightly and looked at Taishang Laojun. He did not refuse and pretended to step forward to persuade Li Anran.
But before he could open his mouth, Li Anran looked over and said, "Yang Jian, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky are just corpse eaters, enjoying the offerings of all living beings, but only thinking about their own interests. You are the only exception."
"Buddha Wu Tian knows that you are a rare talent in the Three Realms, and he told me that as long as you agree to convert to Buddha Wu Tian, he will let me remove the black lotus from your head. You will also be the God of Justice, managing the Three Realms, and your status is second only to that of Buddha."
The faces of the immortals changed. They never expected that before Yang Jian could even start to persuade Li Anran to mend his ways, Li Anran was the first to recruit him, and the conditions he offered were so generous.
The Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Taishang Laojun and others were also stunned. What they thought in their minds were completely different from those of these gods who were unaware of the truth.
——Pah! This Li Anran is so shameless! He is taking this opportunity to improve Yang Jian's reputation and raise his status!
As expected, Yang Jian said righteously, "Shut up! No matter how many faults the gods of the Three Realms have, they are no match for these demons! I am a god like them, I abide by the laws of heaven, and I protect all living beings in the Three Realms. There is no difference! I will never associate with demons!"
"Good! The God of Justice is right! As gods, we protect all living beings in the three realms and will never associate with demons!" The gods did not know the truth and cheered.
"Shut up!" Li Anran shouted angrily, suppressing the voices of all the immortals.
The cultivation of these gods was not as good as Li Anran's to begin with, and now their magic power was sealed by the black lotus. They were directly shocked by the angry shout, and their faces turned pale and shaky.
Li Anran was still performing a duet with Yang Jian.
He stared at Yang Jian with his eyes fixed, as if to overpower him.
Yang Jian was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not shy away or give in, showing his unyielding character to the fullest.
Li Anran and Yang Jian wanted to make a fake come true and change the world, targeting the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Taishang Laojun and other high-level gods.
Even if the four gods like Lei, Huo, Wen and Dou, who are in charge of specific matters in the Three Realms, really succeed in changing the world, they still need to be won over or coaxed over first, and replaced little by little to keep the best.
If too many are replaced at one time, there will be major problems with the operation of the Heavenly Palace, and the entire Three Realms will be in chaos.
In the original time and space, Wu Tian used Ainafa's mechanical technology to clone monsters into immortals from the three realms in order to avoid turmoil in the three realms so that he could transform the Buddhist world.
But it is obvious that the monster has only transformed into the appearance of the immortals and cannot play the role of the immortals.
Even these gods are mostly idle and do things according to their own preferences and just get by.
But, it’s better than nothing!
During the short thirty-three years that Wu Tian ruled the Three Realms, heaven and earth were in chaos, demons and evil spirits were rampant in the mortal world, and his plan to transform the Buddhist world failed completely.
In the end, Wu Tian was forced to give up, and his only thought was to prevent Ling Tong and the relic from getting together, so that he could get another thirty-three years.
Tathagata persuaded a group of powerful people to cede the ruling power of the Three Realms to Wu Tian for thirty-three years. It seemed that he was being arrogant and putting himself at an absolute disadvantage, but in fact he saw clearly that Wu Tian had no way to control the Three Realms!
The so-called rule is nothing but a joke!
Not only did the Three Realms fail to help Wu Tian deal with Tathagata, but they became a burden to Wu Tian, causing Wu Tian to be troubled by various trivial matters and unable to concentrate on dealing with the bet with Tathagata!
This is no exception even in today's world!
Although Monkey has recruited and trained many subordinates for Wutan over the years, these monsters are barely qualified to be earthly immortals and have no idea about the various immortal positions and powers in the Three Realms.
If they were really allowed to become gods and manage the Three Realms, they would definitely do a better job than in the original time and space, but it would still be difficult to change the chaotic situation in the Three Realms!
However, it’s not all bad!
The Three Realms today are like an old man in his twilight years, without any vitality at all, and every move seems extremely stiff and bloated!
According to Li Anran's speculation, in the original time and space, although Yang Jian successfully modified the Heavenly Rules with the help of Chenxiang, the effect of its implementation must have been very mediocre!
Wu Tian's disturbance actually broke down all the old order and established a new order!
In the original time and space , Taiyi Tianzun had no contact with Wu Tian, and there was no Mengjie incident, but in the end Xuanmen still agreed to Tathagata and gave up the Three Realms for him to gamble with Wu Tian.
It is very likely that Yang Jian persuaded Taiyi Tianzun in order to destroy and then rebuild!
Li Anran and Yang Jian are currently planning the same thing!
Let Wutan make some trouble first. Only when the old order is completely broken can they win in the chaos!
Li Anran and Yang Jian "confronted" each other for a long time.
Li Anran snorted coldly and said, "Let's wait and see who is right in the end!"
Yang Jian said, "People with different beliefs cannot work together! Li Anran, the world is in chaos now, and you, as the prison god, are colluding with the demons! If you refuse to turn back, you and I will be enemies from now on!"
Li Anran said: "Okay! Since we are enemies and not friends, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship!" He waved his sleeves, and a golden light flashed.
Yang Jian's eyes became dazed, his body swayed, and he fell backwards. He fell to the ground, hung his head, and fell unconscious.
"The God of Justice! The God of Justice!"
The immortals were extremely anxious and rushed forward to check, but were forced back by a golden light.
"Stay still! If you dare to make noise again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Anran glanced coldly at the immortals, the threat in his eyes was self-evident.
The uninformed gods thought that Li Anran was determined to associate with the demons. He was ruthless to Yang Jian, his former best friend, let alone them. They did not dare to say anything more.
The gods who knew the situation knew that Yang Jian's magic power was not sealed by Wujitan, and that he was just pretending. They immediately guessed that what Li Anran did must have been instructed by Taiyi Tianzun, which was why Yang Jian cooperated so well.
They all closed their eyes, stopped talking, and looked as if they were ready to be slaughtered.
Li Anran did not say any more words to them. He used the excuse that "these gods have great magical powers, I will do it myself to avoid any accidents" and locked himself in the Heavenly Prison.
Dozens of new pages suddenly appeared on the book of punishment for evil.

Although Tathagata reached an agreement with a group of powerful people from the Three Realms, asking them to agree to give up the Three Realms for thirty-three years to serve as the stage for his gambling battle with Wujitian.
However, the only ones who can act as background for him are the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Taishang Laojun, and other powerful people who have the greatest reputation in the Three Realms and cannot be avoided when acting.
Great men of the orthodox teaching like the Nan Ji Xian Weng, Tai Yi Tianzun, disciples of the evil teaching like the Wu Dang Sheng Mu, San Xiao, Zhao Gongming, and even the Zhen Wu Emperor who guards the Northern Continent, had already found excuses to leave long before Wu Tian appeared in the world.
They may live in seclusion in the mountains and ignore the world, or travel around and disappear, or simply pretend that they know nothing about it.
——Wu Tian ruled the Three Realms for only thirty-three years. For the gods, it was just a moment of distraction, so it was not too easy to escape.
Only the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Taishang Laojun and others who cannot be ignored would show their support and make those immortal monks who do not know the truth believe that the Wu Tian incident was a real catastrophe for the three realms and not a show.
As for Yang Jian...
According to the time nodes of the original time and space, the sequel to Journey to the West takes place after The Lotus Lantern.
At that time, Yang Jian had been dismissed from his position as the god of justice because of the affairs of Chenxiang and the Three Holy Mothers. He no longer cared about the affairs of the Three Realms and lived in seclusion in Guanjiangkou. He was not captured by Wu Tian.
Until the monkey came to the door.
Yang Jian owed the monkey a favor because he had plotted against him over the agarwood matter, so he agreed to come out and help the monkey deal with Wu Tian.
In this world, Liu Yanchang had just appeared when he was pushed back by Li Anran, and there was no follow-up at all.
The Third Holy Mother is still safely serving as the Goddess of Mount Hua, and Yang Jian has also been serving as the God of Justice.
On the contrary, the matter between Wu Tian and Tathagata happened nearly seventy years earlier, which led to Yang Jian becoming a prisoner.
But even so, this breath locked up all the other gods in heaven in the Heavenly Prison, and the benefits it brought to Li Anran were terrifying!
Li Anran calculated silently in his mind.
If this situation could continue, it would only take him 132,000 years at most to achieve sainthood!
This is based on the premise that the capture rate is only 5%!
If he could increase the capture rate to 100%!
He only needs about five thousand years!
Li Anran: ...Why does it still feel like a long time!
Li Anran couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he also knew that five thousand years was already extremely short for the immortals with endless lifespans!
Nezha and Yang Jian, who are his brothers, are both over 10,000 years old!
Taiyi Tianzun and the Jade Emperor are even more ignorant of their age!
Even though they have already become Golden Immortals, and some have even killed the corpses of both good and evil, but achieving sainthood is still like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the well, which is out of reach and seems far away!
He can become a saint if he remains stable for five thousand years!
and……
"Once the monks from Lingshan are sent in, we can shorten the distance even more!"
Unlike the gods in Heaven who knew the truth about the gambling fight between Tathagata and Wujitan, more Buddhas knew about this matter in Lingshan!
You should know Buddhas such as Maitreya, Medicine Buddha, Dipamkara Buddha, Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Ksitigarbha.
Wu Tian is far more worried about them than about the Heavenly Court. Tathagata will definitely make them enter the Heavenly Prison without resistance.
The experience points that these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can bring are definitely much higher than those in Heaven!
The key point now is that thirty-three years is too short. He has to find a way to make the fake come true and lock them up in the Sky Prison for a long time!
At least we have to wait until he attains enlightenment...
No, if he had attained enlightenment and become a saint, wouldn't he be imprisoned for as long as he wanted?
Li Anran burst out laughing, but quickly collected his thoughts and began to check the life stories of the immortals.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat!
He wants to make a false thing true and change the world, but that would make him an enemy of the entire Three Realms, which is not easy!
"Let's take a look at the Jade Emperor's first!"
Li Anran had long known that the Jade Emperor was the Taoist child of Hongjun Daozu and had been with Hongjun Daozu for countless years, so he must be no simple person!
However, no one expected that the Jade Emperor’s cultivation had reached the seventh level of Daluo Jinxian!
If the Jade Emperor took the path of beheading the three corpses to attain enlightenment, he had already beheaded the two corpses of good and evil, and his cultivation was no weaker than that of Taiyi Tianzun!
He was the first to open up the life story of the Jade Emperor!
This is their biggest enemy!
The kind of mortal enemy with whom there is no possibility of compromise!
