Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

That's why the Jade Emperor was angry.

Lin Nan acted beyond his authority and acted first and reported later!

Seeing that the Jade Emperor was angry, many immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace began to ask questions.

The Jade Emperor angrily told the whole story.

Upon hearing this, all the immortals and gods looked at each other and discussed the matter.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Nan seems to be a reasonable person. How could he do such a foolish thing?"

"That's right. How can he interfere in the Conferred Gods? He is just a third-rank immortal official."

"Besides, he has not yet become an immortal, let alone a contemporary Heavenly Master. How can he be qualified to deify the gods on behalf of Heaven?"

All the gods and immortals without exception stood on the side of the Jade Emperor, believing that Lin Nan's actions were an overstep.

The Jade Emperor was angry and was about to say something, but suddenly he felt a wave of power coming from below.

On the altar of Chechi Kingdom, Lin Nan looked up at the sky, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and look directly at the heaven.

But the next moment, he lowered his head again.

He knew in his heart that his action would probably not get a positive response from the Heavenly Court.

It may even lead to punishment from heaven.

It would be fine to establish a wild god privately, but now he is asking for the approval of the Heavenly Court and asking the Jade Emperor to grant him a "Jade Seal". This is indeed a bit too much.

But Lin Nan still did it.

On the one hand, it is because Chechi Kingdom really needs a river god to protect it; on the other hand, it is also because Lin Nan has other confidence in his heart.

His own weight alone was indeed not enough to gain legitimate recognition from the Heavenly Court, or even for the Jade Emperor to issue the Jade Seal.

But when Lin Nan looked at Luli Daxian, Luli Daxian immediately handed over the document he had written.

Lin Nan took it and saw that it was exactly the content of his sacrificial speech, which listed the reasons why Chechi Kingdom needed the river god and the correctness of their deification. This document was written in a righteous and well-reasoned manner.

However, Lin Nan knew in his heart that this was just a document and was not enough to make the Jade Emperor approve of their actions.

After all, he was only a third-rank immortal official and had not yet truly been included in the immortal class.

Even if he really was among the immortals, his rank was not high enough to establish himself as a river god.

Although the Chechi Kingdom was united and had a strong will, it was ultimately just a small country and did not occupy the orthodox position of the human race.

Therefore, even if Lin Nan and Che Chiguo's power were added, they would not be able to deify themselves privately.

Lin Nan knew this very well. So why did he insist on deifying himself?

Lin Nan took the document handed over by Lu Li Daxian and nodded slightly.

The previous "Haotian Jinque Request for Grace Ticket" had already burned to the Heavenly Palace, like a paging signal.

And the sacrificial words he muttered also sounded like verbal reports.

But these are not formal documents.

Only this document with talismans written on it and stamped with a Taoist seal can be considered a formal "document" with special and serious significance.

Lin Nan spread out the documents on the judicial table in front of him, then slowly extended his hand.

In an instant, a seal appeared in his hand. Lin Nan raised the seal solemnly and prepared to stamp it on the document.

This seal is the "Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal"!
Lin Nan collected this treasure from the modern world and brought it into the world of Journey to the West.

This is also the real confidence and reliance for his deification this time!
The Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal can be regarded as one of the most precious treasures of Taoism.

Why is it considered a treasure of Taoism? Because it has laid the foundation for the Taoist system to a certain extent.

Although the heavenly court had been established in the past, demons and ghosts still wreaked havoc on the world.

At that time, the Patriarch Tianshi held the seal of Yangping Zhidu in his hand, swept across the world, put down disasters and chaos, conferred titles on ghosts and gods throughout the world, and established twenty-four places of governance. This is how the current complete Taoist system of gods in heaven and underground came into being.

Because of this, Zu Tianshi gained a high status and a great reputation.

This Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal naturally became the king among Taoist treasures.

Lin Nan bowed deeply towards the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin and said, "Younger disciple Lin Nan, I beg you to bless the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin on the Conferred God Document..."

While chanting, Lin Nan injected his magic power into the Yangping Zhidu Seal.

Suddenly the seal shone brightly, as if there were voices of countless ghosts and gods in the world worshiping and submitting.

On the altar, the old turtle couldn't help but feel awe when he saw the seal and wanted to bow down.

After all, the Yangping Zhidu Seal has the power to command thousands of ghosts and gods, and it is not an empty reputation.

The three Taoist monsters behind Lin Nan, Tiger Power Immortal, Deer Power Immortal, and Sheep Power Immortal, were also stunned at this moment.

They stared at the seal, feeling the pressure emanating from it, and couldn't help but have a horrified guess in their hearts: "Is this... the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal?"

These three great immortals came from Taoism, and their methods of practice were also Taoist.

Therefore, they understand the meaning of this seal and the power it possesses better than others!
“Fellow Daoist Lin Nan… actually possesses the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal!”

This discovery shocked them deeply.

At the same time, they also understood why Lin Nan was so confident in his deification.

It turns out that he has such a precious treasure in his hands!
Their mouths were dry and they were in disbelief at the sudden sensation.

It is said that after the ancestor Tianshi ascended to the immortal world, the precious seal was left in the human world and became a treasure passed down from generation to generation... However, this seal rarely shows its true power.

Of course, the inheritance significance carried by the Yangping Zhidu Seal is itself extraordinary.

It is the symbol of the authority of the Heavenly Master on Earth!

At this time, Lin Nan ignored the astonishment of the three immortals.

When the "Yangping Zhidu Merit Seal" burst into dazzling light, he solemnly held up the seal with both hands and then slammed it on the document.

In an instant, a glittering mark appeared on the document, emitting a strange power.

After completing all this, Lin Nan waved the magic sword in his hand, and the document instantly ignited and turned into a wisp of green smoke. Under the protection of a mysterious force, it rushed straight into the sky and reached the heaven!
In the Heavenly Palace, in the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor was discussing with a group of immortals and gods how to punish Lin Nan and Chechi Kingdom.

After all, private wild gods are not a trivial matter, and their seriousness is self-evident.

Normally, such things that could alarm the heavenly court and violate the heavenly rules would be suppressed by heavenly soldiers. However, because of Lin Nan's special identity, the Jade Emperor discussed it with the immortals and gods.

After all, although Lin Nan’s rank as an immortal official was not high, his origins were something that the Jade Emperor could not easily determine.

"Lin Nan violated the Heavenly Law and acted too much. Even if I punish him, the lineage of the Ancestor Heavenly Master will have nothing to say." The Jade Emperor said after a moment's silence. However, he still decided to punish him and not let him off easily.

Below, all the immortals and gods echoed.

At this moment, a wisp of green smoke rose from the lower world and slowly drifted into the Lingxiao Palace.

The green smoke gradually condensed and turned into a document, which appeared before the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor did not linger too long on the densely packed words on the document, because his attention was instantly drawn to the glittering mark below.

The next moment, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but be slightly moved: "Yangping Zhidu Gongyin?"

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King saw this and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, do you need me to go to the lower world and punish that wild god?"

However, at this moment, a wisp of green smoke rose up in front of the Jade Emperor and turned into a document.

When the Jade Emperor saw the document, he was slightly moved, and even exclaimed in surprise: "Yangping Zhidu Gongyin?"

The Jade Emperor was both surprised and shocked, because he recognized the source of the seal, which was the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal.

As the Jade Emperor who is supreme in heaven and ruler of the three realms, he is no stranger to the Yangping Zhidu Seal.

Back then, when he became the Jade Emperor and Lord of the Three Realms, he had no soldiers under his command.

The entire heaven was empty until the Conferred God Ceremony, when many gods and immortals appeared in heaven.

However, at that time, the Jade Emperor's control over the Three Realms was still limited to Heaven and did not spread throughout the Three Realms because the system was not perfect.

It was not until later that Taoism truly rose and the founder of Heaven, Zhang Daoling, became so powerful that he created the twenty-four governance system and conferred titles on all ghosts, gods and earthly deities. Only then did the Heavenly Court truly gain control over the three realms.

Therefore, the status of the Four Heavenly Masters is transcendent. Even in the Heavenly Palace, they are only second to the Jade Emperor. The Four Emperors and Five Emperors will all show respect when they see them.

This Yangping Zhidu Seal was used by the Taoist Patriarch to conquer the world and confer titles on all ghosts and gods. It is also a treasure of Taoism, so the Jade Emperor is naturally familiar with it.

"That Lin Nan from the lower world actually possesses the Yangping Zhidu seal?" The Jade Emperor muttered to himself, "Is he the contemporary Heavenly Master of the lower world?"

At this time, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King asked again: "Your Majesty, do you need me to go to the lower world to punish that wild god?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's expression immediately changed and he rebuked, "Nonsense! How can you punish me at will?"

After saying this subconsciously, the Jade Emperor reacted and quickly restrained his expression. He calmed his tone and said, "The Chechi Kingdom in the lower world does have human power, and there is no river god yet, which is a real concern. Now, since Lin Nan is the national teacher of Chechi, it is reasonable and well-intentioned for Chechi to confer the title of the river god. Although I am the Jade Emperor, I am not unreasonable and do not care about the thoughts of the mortals of a country."

The Jade Emperor's words stunned all the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace.

Because not long ago, the Jade Emperor asked many immortals with an angry face how to punish Lin Nan and how to deal with Che Chi Kingdom's behavior.

But now his attitude suddenly changed.

Many immortals and gods found it difficult to accept, yet they also sensed that the matter was not simple.

Among them, some immortals looked up at the document in the Jade Emperor's hand, knowing that the change in the Jade Emperor's attitude was mostly because of that document.

Taibai Jinxing stood near the Jade Emperor, turned his head slightly, and saw the big seal on the document.

The document still had Lin Nan's name written on it, but next to it was a shining seal - "Yangping Zhidu Gong Yin".

"Yangping Zhidu Gong Yin?" Taibai Jinxing was also a little shocked, and immediately understood why the Jade Emperor's attitude changed so quickly. "So, Lin Nan has such a background. Is he a celestial master of the current or next generation? Or will he definitely ascend to heaven?" Taibai Jinxing thought to himself.

The Jade Emperor did not care how abrupt his change was and continued, "Since Chechi Country needs a river god, I will do it. Taibai Jinxing!"

"I'm here!" Taibai Jinxing responded immediately.

"Jinxing, as the messenger of heaven, will bring me the jade seal to confer the title of river god of Chechi Kingdom on the old turtle." When the Jade Emperor gave the order, he was full of majesty. Taibai Jinxing dared not disobey and nodded in response immediately.

The "Jade Seal" is a special edict from the Jade Emperor, so it is called the "Jade Seal". It is not comparable to ordinary edicts. Taibai Jinxing quickly obeyed the order.

Generally speaking, Yufeng is also a supreme honor. In the human world, some temples have the prefix "Yufeng", such as Yufeng Wudao General Mansion, Yufeng Jiuxian Palace, Yufeng Jiuluo Palace, and Yufeng Xuantian God Temple. The word "Yufeng" represents a kind of weight.

"Thunder Department, listen up!" The Jade Emperor called upon the Thunder Department again.

"I'm here!" In the Thunder Department, a thunder general immediately obeyed the order.

"You all go and congratulate the birth of the River God of Chechi Kingdom!"

"Yes!" General Lei of the Thunder Department accepted the order.

The Jade Emperor called again: "Where is the Ministry of Rites?"

"I'm here!" Immortals from the Ministry of Rites stepped out.

The Jade Emperor gave the order: "Let the fairies play music, the strong men beat drums, the celestial maidens scatter flowers, and the fairy beasts dance, to celebrate the birth of the river god of Chechi Kingdom!"

"I obey your command!" The immortals from the Ministry of Rites obeyed your command.

However, the Jade Emperor has not stopped yet.

"Proclaim the Dragon King of the Four Seas!"

The four sea dragon kings were not in the Lingxiao Palace, but were urgently summoned. Soon, the four sea dragon kings hurried over and bowed as soon as they entered: "East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang, West Sea Dragon King..."

"Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, listen to my orders!" the Jade Emperor shouted.

The four dragon kings immediately fell silent and obeyed the order.

"You are in Chechi country, you are opening up the water veins for Chechi country, you are opening up the rivers for Chechi country, and you are congratulating the river god of Chechi country!"

"Yes!" The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were startled, but immediately accepted the order without saying anything else.

Soon, these immortals and gods who received the order left the Lingxiao Palace and carried out the orders.

In the remaining Lingxiao Palace, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing was still shocked by the change in the Jade Emperor. He couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the Chechi Kingdom is the territory of the Western Niu Hezhou Continent. Do you really want to make such a big fuss to confer a river god? Moreover, it is conferred with a Taoist ceremony."

Among them, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is the right-hand man of Buddhism. The most powerful "Exquisite Pagoda" in his hand was given by Buddhism, and is specially used to balance the great god Nezha of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly. In the heavenly palace, the four heavenly kings are all disciples of Buddhism.

At this moment, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, raised questions from this perspective.

The Jade Emperor just glanced at him, with no expression on his face, and said calmly: "This document has the 'Yangping Zhidu Gong Yin' of the Ancestor Heavenly Master."

"Yangping Zhidu Gongyin?" Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, was stunned. Even if he was stupid, he understood what this meant at this moment. Suddenly, Li Jing was speechless.

At this time, the car was late in arriving in China.

After Lin Nan "delivered" the document to the Heavenly Palace, he waited quietly. Similarly, the old turtle was also waiting. However, the old turtle could not remain calm. (End of this chapter)
