Book 6: Chapter 22: Conquer
“The remnants of the previous dynasty?”
Bai Qiuran asked in confusion.
“Yup.”
The two G.o.ds looked up and down, left and right, as if they were afraid of ears on the wall.
After struggling for a long time, they seemed to have given up again, whispering to each other quietly, and then said to Bai Qiuran:
“The high G.o.d, please don’t go out and talk what I told you today. Under His Majesty the Emperor, there are two G.o.ds named Tian Ting (Heavenly Ear) and Di Shi (Earthly Eye) who can watch the world from time to time.”
“I understand.”
Bai Qiuran nodded.
So one of the two G.o.ds began to explain in a low voice:
“His Majesty the Emperor is not born to be the emperor of G.o.ds. Before him, there were other Heavenly Emperors. Starting from the first one – Chaos Great Emperor, we can’t remember how many Heavenly Emperors have been in power until now. The grandfather of the G.o.ddess of Plague is one of them.”
“So that’s the case. She was not liquidated, it is also the kindness of the emperor.”
Bai Qiuran nodded.
“On the one hand, of course, His Majesty the Emperor is kind.”
The G.o.d arched his hands to the sky, and said:
“But on the other hand, there is another reason: The G.o.ddess of Plague inherited her mother’s G.o.dhood – ruling over Cang Sea. If she chooses to resist, I am afraid that the Cang Sea will be upset, so His Majesty spared her life.”
“But if we say that the most wise and martial emperor of the past dynasties, it is naturally the emperor of this generation, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.”
Another G.o.d also made up a flattery in time.
“He is not only the strongest among the Heavenly Emperors, but also the most perfect one. You can say that His Majesty is the incarnation of the Heaven that created this world.”
“What do you mean?”
Bai Qiuran said curiously.
“You will gradually understand.”
The two G.o.ds laughed but did not answer.
After a flight, the two G.o.ds took Bai Qiuran to a high mountain peak.
On this mountain peak, a palace has been built. The aura was lush, the forest was beautiful, there were several waterfalls and rainbows in the mountains, and the white birds were flying and playing in the lakes on the mountainside. Compared with the settlements of human races, this place was simply a paradise.
“This is the shrine on the ground that His Majesty the Emperor G.o.d bestowed on you.”
The two G.o.ds introduced:
“Everything here is your property, and we are also your subordinates. If the high G.o.d has any instructions, just mention it.”
Bai Qiuran nodded.
“If there is no order, then we both return first.”
The two G.o.ds said, they left here and returned to the sky. This palace was only built for Bai Qiuran. Unless they were invited by him, they were not qualified to stay here.
When they left, they left a coat of arms to Bai Qiuran, saying that with this thing, he could order the Heavenly G.o.d Army that belonged to the Eastern Land, and could also order the two brothers.
After sending away the two G.o.ds, Bai Qiuran walked into the palace. There were some maids in the palace. In order to take care of Bai Qiuran’s aesthetics, they had some human appearance features more or less, but they were aliens after all. There are other places on their body that are quite different from the human race.
Rejecting the requests of several maids to serve him in the bath and bed, Bai Qiuran took a bath by himself, and finally, put on a slightly decent dress. Then he returned to his bedroom and first checked the palace with his Soul Awareness, nullifying the monitoring measures. After thinking about what the two G.o.ds said, he let out his True Qi and made a barrier to block Tian Ting and Di Shi, and then he took Wise Immortal from his back and placed it in front of him.
“What do you think of this Heavenly Emperor?”
Bai Qiuran asked.
“I guess… According to those two G.o.ds, I’m afraid Eastern Emperor Taiyi has made some shameful deal with heaven.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“But you have to see everything to know, now it’s just speculation…what? What do you want to do?”
“I wonder if I can help the human race of this era avoid some detours.”
Bai Qiuran said:
“Although the Immortal Ancestor will appear and create cultivation methods that belong to humans, but other skills such as spells and techniques can’t be achieved overnight. If I can find a way to leave some of them in this era, will it reduce the sacrifice of the human race?”
“Then what are you going to do?”
Wise Immortal asked back:
“You have also seen that Heaven does not allow you to directly teach these things to the human race.”
“I’ll teach it indirectly.”
Bai Qiuran replied:
“You have also seen Li’s talent. I have intentionally or unintentionally raised a point, he can always realize something.”
“Then what about your quest to look for the first Heaven Jealousy?”
Wise Immortal asked.
“That’s not in a hurry. The emperor sent me here, he will definitely give me a test.”
Bai Qiuran replied:
“As long as I complete the work well, the Heavenly Court’s intelligence network will allow me to come in and out. Let’s not talk about this. At present, I can learn more, and my actions will be more secure. Hurry up and teach me the next s.p.a.ce spells.”
——————–
After staying in this shrine temporarily for a month, Bai Qiuran, who was indulging in s.p.a.ce spell learning, finally received the first task given him by the emperor.
As he expected, as soon as he came up, the Emperor of Heaven asked him to lead troops to suppress the rebellion in several capitals in the eastern land.
This month, Bai Qiuran also learned about the basic topography and some basic common sense of the world through his studies.
The first was geography. The center of the world was this land, which was larger than the total area of Nine Provinces and Ten Lands combined with the Wilderness. The Heavenly Court divided the land into four parts: south, east, north, and west according to two geographical features.
With the Milky Way across the sky as the boundary, the earth was divided into east and west. With the farthest ice mountain in the north and the farthest valley in the south as the boundary, the world was divided into north and south.
And outside the earth, it is surrounded by the sea. In the eastern sea, there was the sacred tree Fusang, the current residence of the three-legged brothers of the sun G.o.d, and in the periphery of the sea, it is unfathomable, even the G.o.ds don’t know.
In addition to the sacred tree Fusang, there are many other special places on the earth that are not under the jurisdiction of the patron saints of the Quartet, such as Buzhou Mountain, Tongtian Jianmu, Tiandi Garden, Kunlun Xiadu, etc., but Buzhou Mountain has been a long time ago. The G.o.d of sin was destroyed, there was only a ruin left, and the G.o.d of sin was killed.
The G.o.d of sin used to control the flood, and the G.o.d of the heavens currently in charge of the water veins is Shui Bo, which also proved one thing to Bai Qiuran.
The G.o.ds can be killed, and after the G.o.ds die, the rules he represents would not be destroyed.
So even if before death, the G.o.ds used his own G.o.dhood to disrupt the rules, then after the death of this G.o.d, other G.o.ds could also use their power to suppress the turmoil.
Others, there are the heavenly G.o.ds who are in charge of the movement of the stars, and the heavenly G.o.ds who are in charge of the sky in all directions, but these G.o.ds were so complicated that Bai Qiuran hasn’t had time to write them down.
What he managed was the land of the East. This land was filled with kingdoms and tribes established by various races, and most of the settlements of human races are concentrated on the land of the East.
In nominal terms, these races are all surrendered to the feet of the emperor, but because the G.o.ds really don’t treat them as people, from time to time, these countries and tribes would have “no one born as ruler” kind of thoughts.
Some of them are strange beasts with supernatural powers, and they are not inferior to ordinary G.o.ds in fighting. The other races of this era are quite strong, not as weak as the human race.
This time it was the two brothers who came to send the order this time. After receiving the decree from the Emperor, Bai Qiuran asked:
“Which countries are the rebellion?”
The two G.o.ds replied respectfully:
“It’s the Giant Kingdom, Rainbow Kingdom, and She Bi Shi Kingdom, but this time, it seems that a G.o.d is leading them.”
