Volume 2: World of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio Chapter 45: Beheading Gods and Conferring Godhood

There were more than thirty civil and military officials gathered behind Sun Zichu, all of whom were talented people who held important positions under Sun Zichu.
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong, but after a closer look, Jiale discovered a sense of familiarity. With the Maoshan Six Trigrams and the Tongyou Divine Eye, Jiale could see a lot of things even if it was a secret done by the gods.
These people all have traces of gods on their bodies, just like Jourdain whom we saw at the beginning.
They are definitely talented, and their innate luck is also good, but the gods discovered them in advance and influenced them to make them grow faster, or gave them a helping hand at some critical point. Jia Le used the Maoshan Six Hexagrams to divination and found that these people's luck is connected with the luck of Shintoism. The same is true for Zhu Erdan, and so are they.
Among more than 30 people, 80% are like this.
At first, Jiale was a little confused as to why Lu Pan would go to such great lengths to do those thankless things, but now the answer is very clear.
Shinto is not like immortal way, which can exist independently. The gods in heaven rely on the way of heaven, and the gods in yin rely on the way of earth.
Now the ways of heaven, earth and mankind have all abandoned them. If they want to continue to be gods, they can only change their allegiance and find a new owner. The three ways of heaven, earth and man coexist. If the ways of heaven and earth don't work, then only the way of humanity is left.
This is the case with Sun Zichu's subordinates, and it's probably similar with the subordinates of other dragon contenders. This was all premeditated and the layout had been started a long time ago.
The hidden dragon is protected by the destiny of humanity, so they dare not control it, let alone directly participate in the fight for the dragon. After all, once they fail, the backlash will be so great that it will take their lives directly.
But if you don't control Qianlong, there will be no problem in controlling the talents under Qianlong.
Anyway, no matter which latent dragon wins in the end, these talents will always be needed. In the end, these talents will eventually gather under the command of a real dragon.
In the end, the real dragon founded the country. Although the gods did not control the real dragon, these talents must have been in high positions. It was equivalent to the gods directly controlling the court.
I'm afraid it's not just these talents. There is no need to think too much about the background of the gods. As for their control over the human world, these gods are much stronger than the immortals. Not to mention the countless believers, they may have already controlled many aristocratic families.
By then, the aristocratic families, the believers, and the court will all be included.
Maybe they can even directly undermine the real dragon. They certainly don't want to use this to change the emperor, and it is not that easy, but if they use this to seek a good position for Shinto, it may not be difficult.
Perhaps these gods have had enough of being controlled by the laws of heaven or earth, and now they just want to find a shell company and make their own decisions.
Jiale suddenly thought of some novel excerpts he had read in his previous life.
Three carriages.
The court, the gods, and the immortal gate.
The court is in charge of people's livelihood, the gods are in charge of laws, and the immortal gate is the guarantee.
Perhaps this is what the gods want. If they can achieve it, the gods will be on par with the dynasty, and they can use this opportunity to develop rapidly within the dynasty. It will certainly be much easier for them to be promoted to gods in the future.
"What a calculation."
Jia Le secretly praised in his heart, but remained calm. The gods had a good idea. If the world did not belong to the Sun family, it would be fine. But now Sun Zichu was bound to take over Jiuzhou. In the future, when Sun Zichu established a dynasty, he would be the beneficiary. The gods' plan was to cut flesh from him.
He just planned something bad for me, and now he wants to use the chicken to lay eggs. That's a good idea.
Now that he has discovered it, the gods' plan will never succeed. Jia Le has plenty of ways to make the gods' plan fail.
Under the eyes of the God of Tongyou, the dragon veins are clearly visible.
Jiale began to move, and one formation flag after another fell on the dragon vein. Jiale wanted to take the energy of the dragon vein of Daqing Mountain and gather it on the ancestral tomb of the Sun family.
boom!
Following Jiale's movements, the entire Daqing Mountain began to shake, and streams of dark yellow dragon energy began to gather towards where Jiale was.
The ancestral tomb was dug nine zhang deep. Every time the coffin was lowered one zhang, one tenth of dragon energy would be drawn into the tomb.
When the mountain god of Daqing Mountain saw this scene, his face changed drastically. Jiale was just a dragon eye, but the dragon ball was at the location of the mountain god's temple. Daqing Mountain could be so prosperous because of the dragon vein, and the mountain god could have such a status because he was nourished by the dragon vein.
Now Jia Le actually wants to lead the dragon ball into the Sun family's ancestral tomb. Isn't this trying to kill the mountain god of Daqing Mountain?
If Jiale really succeeds, all the essence of Daqing Mountain will flow to the ancestral tomb in the future. You know, if Sun Zichu succeeds in the fight for the dragon on earth, the Sun family will immediately turn the ancestral tomb into the underworld and gather a dark country. The leader of the country is the ancestor of the Sun family, and the dragon veins are controlled by the hands of the underworld. Will he still be able to make the decisions on Daqing Mountain in the future?
Moreover, without the sovereignty over the dragon vein, the power of the mountain god of Daqing Mountain would be reduced by at least half.
No, it must be stopped.
Although the mountain god of Daqing Mountain didn't know whether Jia Le was targeting him specifically, it was no longer important at this time. What Jia Le was doing now was naturally beneficial to his grandson Chu Zhenglong. The gods of Yangzhou might be happy to see it happen. The only one whose interests were harmed was him, the mountain god of Daqing Mountain. The gods were all selfish. As long as it didn't concern their interests, they wouldn't care.
So, now I can only rely on myself.
boom!
Daqing Mountain began to shake violently, and Jiale suddenly looked towards the center of Daqing Mountain.
"Can you finally hold it in?"
His face moved and he felt very satisfied in his heart. It was effortless to get it.
roar!
Ten thousand beasts roared. At this moment, the entire Daqing Mountain began to sound the sound of beast roars. The place where one stood shook violently, and the noise was no less than that caused by an earthquake.
In the dense woods, the branches and leaves began to fall down rustling due to the vibration.
Everyone couldn't help but feel something was wrong.
"Oh no, the mountain god is angry. This is the mountain god who is angry. We should worship the mountain god before we move the grave."
At this moment, someone in the crowd who were watching the excitement suddenly spoke loudly, and the others couldn't help but panic when they heard it.
Gods are closer to humans than monks, and people’s reverence for gods is greater than their reverence for monks.
If it wasn't for the Sun family who were relocating the graves at that time, many people would have stepped forward to stop it. Even now, there are more and more gossips. According to the military, it is disrupting our military's morale.
Some people felt that the situation was not good and had already started to move backwards.
At this moment, the vibration and roar of beasts were getting closer and closer, and countless wild beasts were rushing out.
The people became even more panicked, and Sun Zichu's expression became serious.
Jiale turned a blind eye to this.
"Form a battle array and meet the enemy!"
A loud shout came from Wansheng's mouth. Moving the graves was a big deal, and what's more, Sun Zichu was also there, so how could he not station the army there?
At this time, Wansheng was leading an army of 30,000 on the mountain, and there were 100,000 troops stationed at the foot of the mountain. They were all soldiers who had returned from Jiaozhou with Sun Zichu and had not yet returned to the camp. At this time, Wansheng gave an order and the 130,000 troops were mobilized.
After Wansheng summoned the gods last time, he further integrated Kuimulang's inheritance and directly broke through the heavenly realm of martial arts, which is equivalent to the realm of spiritual cultivation of cultivators. Kuimulang's inheritance includes not only martial arts, but also the art of military formations. The twenty-eight constellations serve as the guards of the Emperor of Heaven, and their art of military formations is even more invincible.
At the command, 30,000 troops lined up in the front and 100,000 troops quickly went up the mountain.
Everyone felt relieved that the army was behind them. However, the beasts were approaching the army without any intention of slowing down and were about to charge straight at them.
Wansheng's face was serious, but he was not afraid at all. The 130,000-strong army was already in place, and they were not afraid of thousands of beasts. This army was trained by Wansheng himself. They were the real elite who had walked through mountains of swords and seas of blood. Even when facing an enemy that was a thousand times their number, they would only march forward bravely and would never compromise or be afraid.
Wansheng stood in the center of the army, his long sword suddenly swung across the sky.
"Tiger Power!"
With a loud shout, the momentum of the 130,000-strong army suddenly changed.
"Tiger Power!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum of the 130,000-strong army gathered together in an instant. Above the army, the military spirit was so strong that it formed the shape of a "white tiger".
"roar!"
After the white tiger took shape, its bloody mouth suddenly opened and it let out a loud roar, showing its sharp aura and power to destroy an army.
Faced with the might of the tiger, the ferocious beasts began to feel fear in the face of the mighty attack from the mighty army. This was a natural fear of the king. Even the lions and tigers charging in the front, who were the kings of the forest, began to tremble in fear under the white tiger.
Out of fear, the momentum of the charge immediately slowed down.
But the momentum has already started, it cannot be stopped easily.
boom!
Before the front beast charged into the army, the rear beast instead crashed into the front beast first. All of a sudden, the ferocious army of beasts became chaotic first. The roars of beasts turned into screams. The small beasts were now trampled under the feet of the large beasts. The momentum of the beasts was broken in an instant, and they started to kill each other instead.
But even so, they did not dare to approach the army. Even if they died, they would not dare to offend the White Tiger in the slightest.
Even if a few of them were pushed in front of the army, they were stabbed to death with spears and shot to death with bows and arrows.
In the mountain temple.
When the mountain god of Daqing Mountain saw this scene, his face changed in shock.
"Military force!"
Military momentum is the highest realm of military formations. It is rare from tens of thousands of years ago to the present. The larger the number of troops, the harder it is to form a military momentum. Now Wansheng is leading an army of 130,000. Even the mountain god has never heard of such a military momentum. With such a military momentum, let alone the beasts driven by him, even he has to avoid its edge. This is the majesty of humanity, and even the gods dare not violate it lightly.
Also paying attention to the movements of Daqing Mountain are other gods and ghost gods in Yangzhou. Even the gods and ghost gods all over the world are watching Daqing Mountain from afar, but they are not concerned and keep a distance. Most of these gods and ghost gods are just there to watch the fun and have no intention of helping.
This is true even for the gods of heaven and gods of yin in Yangzhou.
Just as the Mountain God of Daqing Mountain thought, Sun Zichu was the hidden dragon of Yangzhou. If he could rule the world, the gods and spirits of Yangzhou would benefit the most. It was because his interests had been infringed that made the Mountain God of Daqing Mountain anxious. Otherwise, the Mountain God of Daqing Mountain would be more stable than anyone else.
The mountain god of Daqing Mountain was now in a dilemma, and he made up his mind to go all the way to the end.
He felt that Jiale must be targeting him, otherwise, why would he be so well prepared, with an army of 130,000? This would not have happened if he had not anticipated the possible danger.
The Daqing Mountains stretch over the land of six counties. Under the mountain god of the Daqing Mountains, there are mountain gods of the six county branches, mountain gods of the six hundred and fifty-four county branches, and they control eight hundred auxiliary gods. At this moment, under the call of the mountain god of the Daqing Mountains, all of them gathered in the mountain god temple.
These mountain gods are all subordinate to the Daqing Mountain God. They dare not disobey the Daqing Mountain God. Moreover, they have the same interests, so they have to take action.
"The earth is shaking! The mountains are trembling!"
The mountain god of Daqing Mountain is as powerful as a prison. With a loud shout, the divine order is issued. Upon receiving the order, the gods in nearly a thousand mountains start to move and use their magic.
The mountain god of Daqing Mountain looked coldly at where Jiale was.
Today he would let Jiale know what it meant that human power could not defeat the might of heaven.
Under the divine power, the entire Daqing Mountain actually began to tremble, especially the branch where Jiale was located, which was turned upside down as if it was about to flip over. With such a big earthquake, it was naturally difficult for the 130,000-strong army to stand firm. If they couldn't even stand steadily, how could they form a formation? The military soul, White Tiger, was also shaky.
Jiale narrowed his eyes upon seeing this. This mountain god of Daqing Mountain is really a ruthless character.
You know, with such a big commotion, not only will many of those who enter the mountain die, but also countless creatures in the mountain will be killed or injured. With such karma, even the mountain god of Daqing Mountain will have to pay for it. But now the mountain god of Daqing Mountain doesn't care at all.
"Dig up my roots, and I will bury you all here."
This is what the Daqing Mountain God meant at this moment. His divine power cannot be violated. Step by step until today, the Daqing Mountain God is undoubtedly not someone to be trifled with. Now that Jia Le wants to shake his foundation, how could the Daqing Mountain God compromise?
But Jiale was not panicked. Since he was here, how could he not make a foolproof plan? He had already prepared for this.
The dragon energy had already reached seven feet, and Jiale suddenly looked at his grandson Chu.
"Let's get started!"
Sun Zichu had already received instructions, and when he heard Jiale's words, he nodded immediately.
At this time, the grandson of King Chu was wearing the crown and robes of the king, and holding the seal of the King of Chu in his hand.
As early as after Sun Zichu took over Yangzhou, he called himself "Duke of Chu". After taking over Jingzhou, he even prayed to God to establish a country and called himself "King of Chu".
Now, with the three states of Jing, Yang and Jiao, the King of Chu has the luck to gain one-third of the world.
Today, Jiale moved the ancestral tomb, taking in seven parts of the luck of the four southern states. The latent dragon emerged from the abyss, the flood dragon entered the sea, and the trend of the dragon rising has become.
The way of heaven retreats, the way of earth hides, and the way of man prospers.
"Imperial decree, the mountain god of Daqing Mountain has frightened all the living creatures on the mountain, disturbed the fortune of the area, and hindered the prosperity of humanity. His crime should be punished. From now on, he will be stripped of his position as the mountain god of Daqing Mountain and executed on the execution platform!"
A royal edict that had been prepared long ago was in his hand, read out personally by Sun Zichu. The luck of the three states suddenly started from Sun Zichu and merged into the royal edict. The royal seal suddenly came down, and the sky changed drastically.
roar!
The dragon veins of the four states converged and suddenly turned into a golden dragon that flew into the sky, pressing down towards the mountain god of Daqing Mountain.
When the mountain god of Daqing Mountain saw this scene, his face changed suddenly.
When the golden dragon pressed down, the mountain god of Daqing Mountain was about to resist. Although he was uneasy at this time, he was a god in heaven. How could humanity have any influence on him? He could just turn his hand and suppress the golden dragon of humanity's luck.
boom!
"No!"
After colliding with the golden dragon, the mountain god of Daqing Mountain realized that something was wrong. The golden dragon was not going to attack him directly. Instead, the golden dragon poured into his body and stripped him of his divine duties. The kingdom of God was immediately shattered and his divine power was lost instantly.
The mountain god of Daqing Mountain screamed in despair and was even more confused. Until now, he still didn't know how Jia Le did it. He was a god in heaven, and how could human beings deprive him of his divine duties?
But this is not the end.
The priesthood was stripped away and the golden dragon turned into a execution platform.
Guan Fei suddenly mentioned that the mountain god of Daqing Mountain had landed on the execution platform and was being held on the platform by Guan Fei with a long sword in his hand.
"cut!"
Sun Zichu showed his full kingly majesty, and with a command, the god's head fell to the ground.
boom!
As the mountain god of Daqing Mountain was beheaded, the mountain god temple of Daqing Mountain suddenly exploded, the statue of the god broke into pieces, and the entire Daqing Mountain lost its previous divine majesty.
The gods who were originally using their divine powers began to panic. How is it possible for a human to kill a god?
Not only the mountain god of Daqing Mountain found it hard to believe, but all the gods and ghosts in Yangzhou, and even all the gods and ghosts in the world, changed color. How could it be possible for human beings to kill gods?
They are gods of heaven and gods of the underworld, and they are subject to the laws of heaven and earth. How could they be controlled by the laws of man?
At this moment, these gods and ghost gods no longer had that arrogant look on their faces, and they all began to panic. At this moment, their painstaking plans seemed to have come to nothing. They could still accept submitting to the laws of heaven and earth, but how could they accept it in the way of humanity?
In a blink of an eye, there was murderous intent again. No, it was not humanity, it was Jiale and that grandson Chu. It must be them who did it.
They would rather believe that it was Jia Le who directed all this than believe that humanity really has such ability. At this moment, their hearts are filled with murderous intent. If they kill Jia Le and Sun Zichu and let others become true dragons, all this will surely change, and they will surely be able to control humanity in the future.
But as soon as they thought of this, they discovered that their own divine positions were beginning to waver, as if if they really did so, they would follow in the footsteps of the mountain god of Daqing Mountain.
"This is! The backlash of humanity!"
Although Jiale didn't know the expressions and thoughts of the gods and spirits at this moment, everything he saw confirmed his thoughts.
The trend!
There can be only one trend in the world, and it is irreversible, like a rolling torrent that is unstoppable.
Now that the two paths of heaven and earth have retreated, the human world is naturally a place where humanity is thriving. Originally, the way of gods was not included in the situation of humanity, but they made all kinds of plans and their hearts were towards humanity. Unknowingly, they have come under the jurisdiction of humanity and are even connected with the destiny of humanity, and are inseparable. It's just that they are deceiving themselves and others and do not know it yet.
Jiale was not sure before, but now that Humanity has killed the God, he has no doubts anymore.
Without the obstruction of the Daqing Mountain God, Daqing Mountain returned to peace, the nine-zhang dragon energy entered the cave, and the throne of the King of Chu was stable. If there was someone who was proficient in physiognomy, he would notice it.
In the south, a green dragon took shape, but it stretched out its claws towards the north. The dragon energy of Yizhou was crawling under the green dragon. It was obvious that it was no longer a force to be reckoned with and could be destroyed in a snap.
Although Sun Zichu didn't know what was going on, he had a feeling in his heart. He found that there seemed to be a kind of extra energy in his body. It was hard to explain, but he could find that he seemed to be more confident.
But in the eyes of others, Sun Zichu was even more majestic and inviolable.
Jiale also nodded, and he really had some of the majesty of an emperor.
He couldn't help but feel excited. To be honest, he just wanted his grandson Zichu to become a personal king at the beginning so that it would be easier for him to collect resources. However, as time passed, Jiale found that he was just like buying a house. He felt that there were better ones. Now he wanted to train his grandson Zichu to become an emperor.
However, Jiale not only did not feel that he was greedy, but he felt it was very good.
In the past, he trained his grandson Zichu more for his own sake, but now Jiale has thought more, thinking about the entire human race. A human king can only bring temporary peace to the human race, but a human emperor can make the entire human race stand up straight forever.
Gods cannot be offended, and immortals cannot be deceived.
Why do people worship gods, why do they seek immortality? When one first becomes a human, one must seek oneself all the way to become the protagonist of the world.
But after development, the human race became increasingly powerful, but as time went on, it became increasingly humble. What was the reason for this?
Many people know the reason, but are powerless to do anything about it, let alone change it.
But now Jiale found that he had the opportunity to change everything. Although it was only in this world, Jiale had to do something since he was here.
In Uncle Jiu's world, he eliminated the ability of Xiaoshi to invade and saved China from those difficult years.
In the world of Liao Zhai, he made the high and mighty gods only able to serve as gods under the majesty of humanity and could no longer disregard the lives of human beings.
The rise of humanity.
"become!"
The tomb is now in the hall, the ceremony is complete, and the relocation of the tomb is decided.
Jiale nodded to Sun Zichu again, and Sun Zichu understood immediately. To be honest, Sun Zichu felt a little dreamy at this moment. If it weren't for Jiale's instruction, he wouldn't dare to dream that one day, he would be able to kill gods with a single command with his mortal body. Now, he wanted to do something more exciting.
Another royal edict was in his hand. Unlike the last time he read out the royal edict, this time Sun Zichu was radiating confidence.
Under Jia Le's divine eyes, a green dragon circled around Sun Zichu. The power of humanity and the majesty of the emperor were all attributed to Sun Zichu.
Humanity also has the desire to rise. It has been suppressed by the two paths of heaven and earth for a long time. Who dares to say that humanity has no ambitions? In the past, humanity might have sat back and watched the chaos in the Nine Provinces, crowned itself a king, and raised a Gu to become a real dragon. But after seeing Sun Zichu's good performance today, humanity will definitely not sit back and watch anymore, because it has discovered that among the five dragons of the Nine Provinces, only Sun Zichu has the majesty of the Human Emperor, and the other four dragons are at most the aura of the Human King.
When Sun Zichu becomes the emperor, humanity will have the hope of being respected, so that humanity will no longer be ranked below the two ways of heaven and earth.
"The edict says that Lord Sun's name is Ning, and he is the mountain god of Daqing Mountain."
As soon as the king issued an order, a soul flew out from the ancestral tomb. It was actually favored by humanity and was directly wearing the sixth-grade mountain god's divine robes, the sixth-grade mountain god's divine crown, and holding the sixth-grade mountain god's divine seal.
The Daqingshan Mountain Temple has been given a new look.
"The Mountain God of Daqing Mountain pays homage to the Human Emperor!"
Sun Ning is the father of his predecessor Sun Yan. Now he is granted a title by his grandson Chu and directly escapes from the underworld to become a sixth-rank mountain god in the human world, in charge of the affairs of the Daqing Mountain.
The Sun family's ancestral tomb is located in Daqing Mountain, which is a key place. Now, a royal decree has not only made Sun Ning successful, but also put the ancestral tomb at ease.
Of course, Sun Zichu did this out of gratitude to Jiale. Sun Zichu knew very well that he could have achieved what he has today thanks to Jiale. If it were not for Jiale, he would never have achieved what he has today.
"Uncle, please return to your seat!"
In front of Sun Ning, Sun Zichu was extremely polite. Sun Ning looked at Sun Zichu and Jiale, his heart full of emotion. He never expected that the Sun family could achieve such an eternal achievement.
After inheriting the title of the mountain god of Daqing Mountain, Sun Ning instantly gained the strength equivalent to that of the Hedao realm.
But he was his own son, and he knew him best. Sun Ning understood everything and knew that his son could never do as much as Jiale did. But Sun Ning consciously ignored all of this and was ignorant. The achievements of the Sun family were due to Jiale's ability, but compared with Jiale's inheritance, those were really not important.
It turned into a stream of light and fell into the mountain temple of Daqing Mountain.
Nearly a thousand gods have not yet come to their senses . Things have developed too quickly and they still find it difficult to accept it.
However, Sun Ning is not an ordinary person. He has served as the sixth-rank Jinling Tongpan, and now he is a god with power and position. These things can be handled perfectly by a god. Those who obey will prosper, those who resist will perish, the capable will rise, the average will give way, the mediocre will be demoted, and the inferior will give way.
When Sun Ning was leaving, Jiale exchanged a glance with him and immediately knew what Sun Ning meant. They were both smart people.
In fact, it's not just Sun Ning. Sun Zichu must have had some guesses as well, but Sun Zichu wouldn't care about them. The kinship between the two started after Sun Zichu came to the Sun Mansion. It was the result of Jiale's support along the way, not blood.
These are actually just icing on the cake. The most important thing is that Sun Zichu needs Jiale.
To this day, Jiale no longer has much in mind to use his grandson Chu to gain power. After becoming the master of the Yin-Yang Vein of Maoshan, these are actually no longer important to Jiale. Just like what Jiale thought before, everything he does now is more about what Jiale wants to do for this world and for the human race.
Of course, he also picked up some energy beads by the way. In the Kunlun mirror, a Hedao-level energy bead was lying quietly. This was from the mountain god of Daqing Mountain. It had to be said that Jiale's butcher knife was already ready to move.
Look into the distance, towards Kyushu.
"The knife has been sharpened, but I don't know how many gods are willing to step onto this god-slaying platform."
