Chapter 765: Comforting Haotian
In such a dilapidated environment at that time, if the two saints from the West could make Xiniuhezhou as prosperous as Nanzhanbuzhou, then their ambition would be fulfilled!
However, under the arrangement of the two saints in the West, all the creatures in the West were in dire straits. They could not enjoy any benefits brought by the prosperity of Xiniu Hezhou, and had to suffer humiliation from mountain spirits and wild monsters from time to time. Some of those who were unlucky would be wiped out directly at the South Gate when they encountered blue lions, white elephants, and big peng birds!
It’s no wonder that the Heavenly Dao couldn’t stand it. Before Buddhism had flourished for long, it was directly beaten to Lingshan by the representative of the Demonic Dao, the Buddha Wu Tian, interrupting the trend of its prosperity in the entire West!
Just when Bai Zhen thought everything was arranged, he heard Yuanshi Tianzun ask, "Tianzun, who should condense the golden body of the divine spirit and be pardoned and canonized as a god?"
Bai Zhen thought for a moment, then directly listed all the missing deities in the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. He then said, "Those who are destined to be on the list can be included, and those who are not destined cannot be forced!"
All the saints understood the meaning of Bai Zhen's words very clearly. What Bai Zhen meant by "destined" was that all living beings with a good compatibility with the divine position could be on the list. For example, if the Immortal of the South Pole had a good compatibility with the Longevity Emperor of the South Pole, the Immortal of the South Pole could send his own golden body to take up the position of the Longevity Emperor of the South Pole.
As for people like Master Xuandu who have no affinity with the position of a god, he does not need to hold any divine position. If he forcibly takes up a certain position, the end result will naturally be that it will not only be detrimental to his own practice, but he may also offend Bai Zhen, the saint who convened the event of deification!
Bai Zhen glanced around and saw Haotian, whose face looked as ugly as if he had eaten feces! In order to prevent Haotian from going to Zixiao Palace to complain, Hongjun was pulled out of the situation where he was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao. Then Bai Zhen said, "Haotian, are you dissatisfied with my arrangements?"
"Tianzun, Haotian doesn't dare!"
"Alright, Haotian, I won't play games with you anymore. I promise you that when the Heavenly Court is fully restored, all the gods except for the Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei and his group of star gods (star lords) will be governed by you, Haotian, and must abide by the Heavenly Rules!
If there are those who disobey your orders and have a strong background, you can come to Qingqiu for help. If it is true, I will take care of it for you! Of course, I gave you this power not to allow you to do whatever you want. If I find out that you are relying on the authority of the Emperor of Heaven to do whatever you want, don't blame me for being cruel and making you a hollow Emperor of Heaven!
By the way, during this Conferred God Ceremony, Haotian, you can also arrange for some of your trusted aides to be included in the list. In the future, if any of the gods under your jurisdiction want to abdicate, you can also arrange for your trusted aides to take over! However, I have to be frank. If you place your trusted aides in the throne and cause some unworthy people to inherit the throne, then don't blame me for being cruel!"
Haotian naturally had no objection to Bai Zhen's arrangement. After so many years of hardship, Haotian knew very well that it would be difficult for him and Yao Chi to fully support the Heavenly Court with their efforts. After all, up to now, the Heavenly Court was still just a few big cats and small cats!
In recent years, Haotian has been thinking about whether he should go to Zixiao Palace to seek help from Master Hongjun. After all, a catastrophe is almost over, and the Heavenly Court is still in a state of shutdown. Master Tiandao has long been dissatisfied with Haotian. If he cannot restore the gods of the Heavenly Court to their positions before the end of this catastrophe, his position as the Emperor of Heaven is very likely to be replaced by a capable person!
However, Haotian knew very well in his heart that he was no longer a Taoist boy in Zixiao Palace, and his relationship with Master Hongjun was much less. If he really went to Zixiao Palace and asked Hongjun to help him recruit the gods in heaven, it was very likely that the relationship between him and Hongjun would be exhausted!
Haotian knew very well that the reason he could sit firmly on the throne of the Emperor of Heaven was not because of his ability, but because of the favor between him and Master Hongjun. If he lost Hongjun as his backer, it would be extremely difficult for him to control the Heavenly Court!
