Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

Daoist Patriarch Hongjun not only finalized the matter of Heaven, but also took out the rare treasure created by Heaven, the List of Gods.

This situation is even worse than what the saints had expected, which shows the firm attitude of Taoist Hongjun towards the affairs of Heaven.

Once this list is released, everyone knows what it means. It must have an extremely strong binding force.

Once one is deified by this rare treasure, he will be restricted and find it difficult to resist, let alone escape.

I'm afraid that the treatment for those who voluntarily join the Heavenly Court will be much better. At least they are free to come and go and have more initiative in their choices.

This also precisely demonstrated the will of Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, making them realize that the moment Hongjun spoke, the outcome was already a foregone conclusion.

Silence enveloped the Zixiao Palace, and Hongjun waited calmly.

But a saint is a saint after all, and he would not do something unreasonable and meaningless when he knows that things are irreversible.

Even Tongtian, who had a gloomy face, was like this.

Since the will of Daozu Hongjun cannot be changed, both sides can see clearly what the top priority is.

Who will fill the list of people on the Conferred Gods List? How will it be filled?

For this reason, several saints refused to give in to each other.

So far, the only people who have stayed out of the matter are Qingxuan and Nuwa, as if they were there to be witnesses from beginning to end.

Nuwa had no direct disciples at all, only two or three Taoist children.

As for Qingxuan, no one turned their attention to him for the time being.

Firstly, there were not many disciples under Qingxuan Sect. Secondly, the second disciple of Qingxuan Sect had already served in the Heavenly Court a long time ago. This was well known to everyone.

Although the position held by Tianhu is a not very important matchmaker.

In addition, the people present here, not to mention many, more or less owe Qingxuan some favors, and it is also true that they seem to have good relations with all the saints.

In fact, Saint Taiqing could also stay out of it. After all, he only had one disciple, which was similar to Nuwa’s situation.

But at this time he was silent and said nothing.

Ten thousand immortals from the Jiejiao came to pay homage, and the Western Sect directly ruled the entire Xiniu Hezhou.

The disciples of the Chan sect cannot be compared with the two, but when it comes to debating, Yuanshi is much better than Tongtian who is better at drawing the sword.

So, the Taoist Master Zhunti and the Jade Purity Yuanshi were talking nonsense.

It's not because they can control their temper and just talk without taking action, it's because Hongjun can keep the situation under control.

Things have come to this point, and there is absolutely no possibility that the Jie Religion and the Western Religion can remain unscathed.

There are so many vacancies on the List of Gods that even if all the disciples of other people are counted, it will definitely not be enough.

"Hmph, since that's the case, why don't we each rely on our own abilities and have a battle, how about it?" Tongtian said angrily.

"As saints, how can you act rashly? Are you so opposed to your disciples entering the Heavenly Palace?" Hongjun said.

In fact, there was one thing he hadn't said about the List of Gods, which was that the true spirits of living beings could be included in the list after death.

Although the physical body is still subject to restrictions when it is included in the List of Gods, it is ultimately just a restriction.

If there were no restrictions, given the personalities of the saints' disciples and the backing of their Taoism, Haotian might not be able to control them, and chaos might instead occur.

But he still hoped to leave those people a way out, so as not to completely destroy their path, which was inconsistent with his philosophy.

Qingxuan borrowed the Investiture of the Gods to study, and he would be happy to see whatever Qingxuan wanted to do succeed.

However, Hongjun has always been a decisive person, and he doesn't want to see people shirking their responsibilities again and again.

"Please tell me, teacher."

Looking at them, Hongjun shook his head.

"Well, if you want to rely on your own abilities, then it's up to you. However, the saint's thoughts and words are all unbearable for all living beings in the prehistoric world, so you must not act rashly. Since it is a matter between disciples, let them solve it themselves.

Tongtian, do you have anything to say about this? Fighting for a chance by yourself should suit your wishes."

Tongtian was silent for a moment, but finally nodded. Daozu had said this and specifically pointed at him, so he had no choice but to nod. It was indeed in line with his meaning.

In fact, Tongtian himself is clear about many things. He just wants more people to strive for a chance to cross the avenue.

He also did not intend to protect his disciples from doing evil. Everyone used their own means to fight for their own way. What he did was just to point out a way. He would not interfere, and he would also allow them not to be interfered with, so that they could pursue their own way.

Unfortunately, his unrestrained indulgence and the existence of the Saint's Great Religion itself are a kind of shelter.

Hongjun hung the Conferred God List in the air: "If you sign this list, even if you die, a wisp of your true spirit will be included in the list and you will be conferred the title of God."

"Teacher, I wonder how to proceed with this matter of conferring gods?" Yuqing asked.

"The affairs of the Heavenly Court concern all living beings in the world, involve the three paths, and involve the fate of countless lives. In this case, how about you disciples fight for your own salvation in this mortal world?"

Several people frowned, trying to figure out the meaning of Daoist Patriarch Hongjun's words.

Nuwa, who was leisurely eating melon and chatting with Qingxuan, was stunned and could not sit still anymore.

What does Daozu Hongjun mean by this? Fighting to cross the mortal world? Three paths?

The way of heaven has been determined, and the representative of the way of earth, Hou Tu, has not come, so it is obvious that this matter has little to do with her. Obviously, the way of humanity must be involved.

As for humanity, the human race can now be said to be almost the representative of humanity.

"Teacher, why don't we work together to create another battlefield? Wouldn't that be more appropriate?" Nuwa put forward her suggestion.

Why not just let these disciples of the saint play by themselves and decide the winner?

Tongtian was quite moved by Nuwa's proposal. It was just a fight between the disciples of each sect. Who was afraid of whom? Instead, it was a roundabout way that made him uncomfortable.

Hongjun looked at Nuwa, but shook his head.

"Nuwa, you should understand that the Conferred Gods event is equally important to the human race. Do humans really want to stay out of it?"

Nuwa frowned and sat down in silence.

She understood Hongjun's words. The Heavenly Court represents the order of the ancient world. If the human race stays out of it, it will be governed by others in the future, or will be outside the order.

The Conferred God Program involved the human race, which was actually a benefit for them that other races could not ask for. It allowed them to integrate into the heavenly order that was being established and consolidate their own position.

After all, whether or not the Honghuang management team, which represents the order of heaven and earth, has its own people is two completely different things.

Hongjun meant to allow human beings to have the opportunity to enter heaven and achieve godhood, which is by no means a bad thing for the entire human race.

Nuwa thought back to the time before the war between the wizards and the liches, when she had asked the Sui people and others. That time, the choice made by the human race was not to seek refuge from her, but to embark on a difficult road of blood and fire, which led to today.

So she didn't say anything else, nor did she chat with Qingxuan anymore.

Hongjun glanced at Qingxuan, and Qingxuan nodded.

In fact, he had figured out this problem a long time ago. Admittedly, he rarely interfered in the affairs of the human race, but he also felt that there was no need to involve the human race in the Battle of the Gods.

But later he figured it out. After the Conferred God Ceremony, it could be said that the human race had its own power in the Heavenly Court. Even if it couldn't protect the human race, at least it wouldn't let the human race suffer.

The human race is in a passive position without having to make a choice, but the benefits are real.

I just don't know what the situation was between Shang and Zhou. The interweaving of the saints' auras made that part of the heavenly secrets too chaotic.

“Since you all regard the Conferred God Contest as a calamity, then there must be people who should bear the calamity.” Hongjun ignored the thoughts of the saints, and a true spirit appeared in his hand.

Qingxuan's expression changed for the first time, and it seemed a little familiar.

The other saints were relatively confused and did not react.

"This is Taotie, one of the four great generals under the command of the beast king Shen Ni. He escaped from the beast calamity by chance, but reappeared when the Heavenly Dao first appeared, intending to swallow the sky. He was helped by fellow Daoists Qing Xuan and was killed by the Heavenly Dao."

Yes, Qingxuan recognized it. This true spirit carried the aura of a ferocious beast. The corpse of Taotie was also refined into a large cauldron by him and Qinglian.

“But at that time, the Heavenly Dao was still unstable. This Taotie had a mysterious talent and swallowed a wisp of Heavenly Dao’s aura. I transformed its ferocious beast origin and now it has returned to a pure true spirit. How about letting it enter reincarnation and become the one who should be borne by the calamity?”

Qingxuan stared at the wisp of true spirit in Hongjun's hand, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Everyone had no objection, and then they saw that wisp of true spirit fell into the underworld and disappeared without a trace.

The List of Gods has been signed, and the deification is set.

"You guys go ahead. I will not interfere too much in the matter of deifying the gods. I will just remind you again, what is the way of a saint? Be aware of your status and do everything in moderation."

After Hongjun finished speaking, he stopped talking and let the saints leave.

Qing Xuan stayed till the end with a calm demeanor. Everyone signed the List of Gods, but they were just outsiders or witnesses.

There are no specific names on the List of Gods. As mentioned before, everyone depends on their own abilities.

Of course, it’s not as simple as just fighting.

In addition, not only the disciples of the Saint’s Great Sect, but other living beings can also be included in the List of Conferred Gods and be deified.

"That wisp of true spirit is actually two true spirits, right?" Qingxuan, who was walking at the end, asked directly without any hesitation.

Hongjun nodded, not surprised.

"A wisp of the true spirit of a fierce beast, and a wisp of the aura of the Heavenly Dao. The two are entangled together. Could it be that you thought it was too troublesome and did not separate them completely?"

Hongjun sighed: "I am busy with many things, not as free as you two. The two of you are too deeply entangled, and it does take some energy. How about you give me a hand?" Hongjun said with a smile.

Qing Xuan refused without thinking: "Forget it, I'm busy going home. Besides, this is not a big problem. For those fellow Taoists, more variables may be more interesting."

Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao, two people with the appearance of flying bears who are destined to suffer disasters, aren’t they interesting?

"Haha, that's true." Hongjun nodded, "By the way, don't instruct your first disciple to start a war. I don't think they would want to provoke your Qingqiu clan."

"How could that be? My disciple is well-behaved and sensible, with a pure heart, you know that, fellow Taoist."

Hongjun smiled without saying anything. It was true that he was well-behaved and sensible, and that he had a pure heart. But it was also true that he was lawless.

With a word from you as her master, there is nothing she dares not do. She is truly fearless.

Fortunately, Hongjun believed that Qingxuan acted with propriety and would not order his disciples to act recklessly.
