Chapter 346: The Four Great Marshals and the Thirty-six Great Generals
Because Bai Qi was so persistent, Jiang Changsheng finally agreed to let it stay in Zixiao Palace. After all, it would ascend to heaven in a few years.
The ten-year period has given the world's strong a sense of urgency. How to gain merit has become the most worthy topic to discuss in the world today. For a time, many chivalrous men appeared in various states of the world, and court officials also began to pay attention to people's livelihood and adopted many generous policies.
The natural beauty ushered in an unprecedented decade, which was the happiest decade for the people.
Warriors all over the world want to give it a try, even if they can't become gods, at least they can become heavenly soldiers. The common people are calm and mainly come to watch the fun.
After the news spread to Taihuang, those races that were on good terms with Tianjing came one after another, wanting to witness the spectacle of ascension. Other races were looking forward to it, as they thought what Daozu meant by ascension was leaving this martial world.
Endless ocean.
Great broad sky.
Lin Hongchen sat in the lobby, listening to his subordinates' reports with a frown on his face.
The news of Daozu's deification has spread throughout Da Guangtian, causing discussion in the court and among the people, and even resentment. Why can Emperor Tianjing deify a god, but Da Guangtian cannot?
Similar remarks were not only spreading in Da Guangtian, but also in other dynasties, and almost all of them were complaints from believers.
Human beings are complicated creatures. Even if they are all believers of the incense, they may not be completely united. Especially when a great opportunity like deification comes up, their complaints cause things to spread, and the ones who suffer the most are the various dynasties.
“It’s Daozu again. Why does Tianjing cause trouble from time to time?”
An old veteran cursed, saying that the people here were specially selected by Lin Hongchen to avoid the appearance of fanatical followers of Daozu. However, Lin Hongchen was not completely sure. But one thing was certain, these people would not promote Daozu openly.
"The confers gods upon the gods, what an exaggeration! There are no gods in the world. The Taoist is just trying to fool the people."
"It's hard to say. It was rumored that Daozu killed the God of Heaven and Earth. Our Great Guangtian is too far away from the wilderness, so this is not a good thing."
"Where exactly is Taihuang? It's really hard to find."
"I thought of the legend that Daozu moved the Dragon Vein Continent. Could it be true?"
"If we don't find Taihuang, the current situation will happen again in the future. Only by reaching Taihuang can we refute those false rumors spread by Daozu."
Listening to everyone's words, Lin Hongchen nodded.
Lin Hongchen sighed and said, "I know which direction Taihuang is, but it's too far away. Even if I find it, it will be troublesome to establish a base and transfer to Daguangtian. After all, there are many dynasties along the way, and Daguangtian's teleportation array has not reached that distance yet."
Everyone was silent.
If there was no Tianjing, Da Guangtian could have completely annexed all the dynasties in the world first, but the existence of Tianjing forced Da Guangtian to resist Taihuang as soon as possible. Now Da Guangtian is in a dead end.
A man in armor said, "Why don't you go to Tianjing? Tianjing's development should have surpassed Daguangtian. Maybe you can go to Tianjing to trade for long-distance teleportation arrays, or even learn from Tianjing how he established himself in Taihuang."
These words aroused the approval of others, and even Lin Hongchen thought it was feasible.
In Daguantian, the direction of Tianjing is no secret. Every year, a group of people rush north. It is said that as long as they keep going north, they can find Tianjing.
Lin Hongchen immediately made a decision and began to organize people to rush to Tianjing.
…
The ten-year period was extremely torturous for the people of Tianjing, especially for those who wanted to become gods, who were racing against time.
Jiang Ziyu did not immediately replace the ministers in the court, but he arranged apprentices for those ministers to emulate and learn from them. This also led some smart people to speculate. However, no matter how much they speculated, the number of these ministers was not enough to fill the throne.
The 151st year of Xianyuan, and this year will also see the change of reign title, so it will not be included in the history books.
On the first day of the New Year, the first ray of sunlight passed through the streets of the capital. The ministers gathered in front of the palace, kneeling and waiting, occupying the streets within a radius of several miles. Those who were able to kneel here in advance were all ministers of Tianjing.
Common people and warriors all got up early, and sat in front of the window, in the courtyard, or on the roof, all looking at the towering imperial palace in the distance.
The day of deification has arrived!
Outside the capital, many alien creatures as big as mountains were also waiting eagerly. On top of Wufeng Mountain, hundreds of thousands of disciples stood all over the mountain, gazing at the imperial palace.
At the same time, in the divine world, the sky reflected the scene of Tianjing capital. Countless believers who were not in Tianjing were watching and witnessing this grand deification ceremony.
“I don’t know what the grand ceremony of conferring the title of God is like.”
"Let's wait for Daozu to show up."
"It's definitely not what we imagined. I have a feeling that the next scene will be something we will never forget."
"If I miss this opportunity to be a god, will there be another one?"
"Of course there will be. How is it possible to seal all the gods in the first attempt?"
The discussions of the believers resounded throughout the entire world of Shenyou, and it was extremely noisy.
In the capital city, Chang Yaoling and Di Chang had also walked out of their houses, waiting eagerly.
Jiang Jian and his wife stood in the yard, and his children and grandchildren stood around them, talking excitedly. After returning to Tianjing, they realized how powerful their father and grandfather were. Before, in the Qingshi tribe, they thought that Jiang Jian was marrying up to their mother and grandmother.
Time continues to pass.
Noon is approaching.
The sound of a bell resounded throughout the capital, echoed in Sizhou, and spread to the entire Tianjing land. Everyone who heard it was cheered up.
Here we come!
"The coronation ceremony begins!"
Bai Zun's voice was heard loudly in the palace. All the gates of the palace opened and the ministers stood up and walked into the palace.
First ascend the throne, then be deified!
Jiang Ziyu, wearing a dragon robe, was already standing in front of the Human Emperor Monument. He had a blank expression on his face, but his heart was surging with emotion.
Standing next to him was the Crown Princess, the daughter of the Yang family and the next Queen.
Mu Lingluo stood in the distance, dressed in white, looking at them quietly.
After the arrival of all the ministers, Bai Zun began to perform the ceremony of abdication. The Tianjing imperial crown had been placed in front of the Human Emperor Monument. After Jiang Ziyu burned incense and paid homage to heaven, Jiang Changsheng appeared in front of him out of thin air, picked up the imperial crown, and put it on him personally.
Jiang Changsheng was wearing a gilded Yin-Yang Taoist robe and no longer looked like an emperor.
This time's coronation ceremony was not much different from the previous ones. Jiang Changsheng stared at Jiang Ziyu and said, "Tian Jing is handed over to you. This is the second time I have let you inherit the throne."
Jiang Ziyu was stunned, thinking that Jiang Changsheng was talking about his previous position as regent.
"Thus, the Year of Immortal Yuan ends, and the year name is changed to..."
Jiang Changsheng spoke, and at the end he looked at Jiang Ziyu, who was encouraged and immediately shouted, "Dingtian!"
The first year of Dingtian!
boom!
The surging luck poured into Jiang Ziyu's body, and his body shook. Jiang Changsheng then soared into the sky, flew above the sea of clouds, and sat cross-legged.
"I founded Tianjing 150 years ago. Now I abdicate the throne and establish the Heavenly Court. Those who have made great contributions in this life will ascend to heaven and be ranked among the immortals."
"The Consecration of Gods begins!"
Jiang Changsheng's voice echoed throughout the capital, making everyone excited. They had waited for ten years and finally waited for this day.
Most people want to see if the Conferred Gods are real!
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and summoned the List of Conferred Gods. The List of Conferred Gods burst out with golden light and quickly grew larger, forming a huge scroll that stretched across the sky, thousands of feet long, shining with golden light that was brighter than the bright sun.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
What's this?
Even Jiang Ziyu, Bai Zun, Chen Li, Mu Lingluo and others were frightened. It was the first time for them to see the List of Gods.
"This is the Conferred God List. Anyone whose name is on the Conferred God List can become a god!"
Jiang Changsheng's voice sounded again, solemn and majestic. Countless believers in the Shenyou Great World were amazed by the List of Gods and remembered its appearance deeply.
"Guan Tongyou, Di Chang, Ji Wujun, and Xu Tianji are named the Four Holy Marshals of Heaven!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four golden lights burst out from the List of Gods, shining on the capital city and illuminating the four people.
Di Chang's eyes widened. A powerful force made him unable to move. At the same time, he could feel his own luck transforming and even gaining a powerful force.
The power of immortals!
Before he could think more, he soared into the sky and was pulled into the List of Conferred Gods by the golden light. Guan Tongyou, Ji Wujun and Xu Tianji followed him up and ascended under the gaze of countless people, entering the vast List of Conferred Gods. Then the names of four people appeared in the List of Conferred Gods.
Whether it was the common people of Tianjing or the alien creatures, they were all shocked, and the heaven and earth were silent.
Before they could react, Di Chang and the other three appeared behind the List of Gods. A vast light emerged from their bodies and then condensed into their appearance. Their bodies were huge, a thousand feet tall, and they were extremely tall and majestic, overlooking the world.
Above the Four Holy Marshals is the Taoist Ancestor Jiang Changsheng!
"Chen Li, Yang Che, and Bai Zun are named the Three Heavenly Lords of the Imperial Immortal Realm!"
As Jiang Changsheng's voice fell, three more golden lights sprinkled down from the Investiture of the Gods, covering Chen Li and the other two, sucking them into the Investiture of the Gods. Then they appeared next to Guan Tongyou and the other three, sitting on an equal footing with them, and also condensed into a thousand-foot-tall statue.
Seven people stand proudly in the sky, and the statue reaches the sky, how magnificent it is!
The capital city was shaken, the people and warriors went crazy, and countless people knelt down and prayed to the sky.
Chang Yaoling was stunned. She had already guessed that Jiang Changsheng was a god, but she didn't expect the Conferred God Ceremony to be so spectacular. She could clearly feel that the aura of Guan Tongyou, Chen Li and others had transformed.
It's really a deity!
In a mansion east of the capital, a group of people were looking up at the sky in the yard, all of them were stunned.
They were all people sent by Lord Zihuan to monitor Daozu. They didn’t take it seriously before, but after seeing the Conferred Gods today, their understanding was shattered.
Could it be that Daozu is really the ancestor of all immortals?
Anyway, they can't understand the existence of the List of Gods.
The Xuanhuang world has such a great magical weapon, but how can it be deified?
After passing the List of Deified Gods, those who were deified all had a transformed aura and became sacred and majestic. Even those from the upper realms wanted to pay homage to them.
Jiang Changsheng had already noticed their presence and seen their expressions, but he remained indifferent and continued to confer gods.
"Ye Xundi, Sword God, Thief God, Jiang Jian, Lin Haotian, Ping An, Jiang Tianming, Jiang Luo, Jiang Ye, Jiang Shan, Yang Yuanhong, Yang Yuanlie, Yang Yuanxiong, Jiang Jue, Yang Zhou, Zhou Juesai, Arakawa, Ling Xiao, Xu Mang, Jiang Xuanzhen...are named the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals!"
The names were spoken out one by one by the Taoist Ancestor, and golden rays of light fell from the List of Gods.
The King of Northern Frontier, whose real name is Jiang Jue, never thought that he could become a god. The always strong king burst into tears, his heart filled with guilt. It turned out that his ancestors had been watching him.
