Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 704: The Demonic Plague in Chu is Suppressed

"Su Liuguang, who is this?" The Water Deity Star Lord spread out a silk scroll in a house on earth.

On the silk scroll is a portrait of a woman.

The water route was impossible to take - so as a price, the Water Deity Star Lord completely submitted to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor provided the Martial Deity Star Lord with another route.

From the water path, change to the path of water virtue.

Taking the theory of the rise and fall of the five virtues in the human world as its foundation, it was transformed into the five virtues of the five directions that were related to the changes of dynasties in the human world. Then the career position of the Water Virtue Star Lord was upgraded to the Black Emperor of Water Virtue, achieving the status of an emperor - and then with the help of the super-quality emperor position, he ascended to Daluo.

Therefore, the God of Water came secretly to the human world to make arrangements in order to verify the rotation of the five virtues.

At the same time, when he came to the human world, the Jade Emperor also gave him a task.

To find the woman in the scroll in the human world, the clue given by the Jade Emperor is only her name in her previous life, Su Liuguang, and her appearance.

It is certainly difficult to find someone in this vast sea of ​​people in the world, but it is better than having no door and no way to find the way.

"Just walk through the human world and observe the flow of the five virtues." The Water Virtue Star God thought, then pushed open the door, picked a direction at random, and followed that direction, avoiding the water.

In Heaven, the water gods who were "loyal" to the Lord of Water Deity had already gathered in the Lord of Water Deity's residence, seeking shelter.

The Jade Emperor's messenger, Taibai Jinxing, had already arrived at the residence of the Water Deity before the water gods gathered. He brought the Jade Emperor's token and the certificate of the Water Deity's loyalty to the Jade Emperor, and directly took away the water gods who had "pledged allegiance" to the Water Deity or came to "pledge allegiance" to the Water Deity.

——Some of these water gods were loyal to the Water Deity from the beginning, while others came from human sects and took advantage of the Huailong dispute to seize the power of the dragon clan.

With just this move, the Jade Emperor, whose influence had always been limited to heaven and difficult to enter the human world, truly gained the power to influence the situation on earth and had the ability to effectively interfere with the dragon clan and the waters.

……

Inside the Cloud Cave, Yun Zhongjun also waited for his guests.

Three demon gods in the territory of Chu.

The Chu State has had an indissoluble bond with the demon clan since they were granted the title and began to open up the country with great difficulty.

The number of demons, both big and small, in the country is unpredictable - and in the country, there are also many demon gods who look after these demons, big and small, and wait for them to "ascend" to the Southern Continent.

Some of these evil gods have been here since ancient times, and their rise and fall went hand in hand with the rise and fall of the State of Chu.

Some were demon kings from Southern Continent who came to the State of Chu on a whim to find some clever little demons to bring back to Southern Continent.

Although every corner between heaven and earth can be transformed into soil for nurturing demons, the demons bred in different places are naturally different.

Nanshanbuzhou is the domain of the demon race. After the death of Wude Xingjun, the mortals there are just like the mortals in Xiniu Hezhou. They are not recognized by the human race, nor are they protected by humanity. Although those mortals are still called humans, even they themselves have tacitly accepted the fact that they are "human sacrifices" raised by the demon race, and will regularly offer tribute to the demon race...

Although there are still some mortals here who adhere to their original aspirations, this part of the human race only occupies a very small part of Southern Continent and it is difficult for them to influence the overall situation of Southern Continent.

Under such circumstances, the monsters in the Southern Continent naturally behaved in a rough and arrogant manner. They did not take humans seriously and did not like to "use their brains".

If this continues, the demon tribe in Southern Continent will inevitably become like they were in the ancient times.

In order to "reconcile", the demon kings of Southern Continent would go to other continents regularly and bring those clever demons of all sizes to Southern Continent to share various mundane affairs, while also offsetting the arrogance of the native Southern Continent.

As the great demon kings within Southern Jambu Continent competed with each other, the demon kings from various places did not dare to let their opponents know that they had left Southern Jambu Continent - therefore, the Taiyi demon kings from Southern Jambu Continent came to the State of Chu quietly and left quietly.

Even the Heavenly Court, which oversees the heaven and earth, cannot be sure how many demons and gods are lurking within the territory of Chu.

But the royal family of Chu knew that the demon kings had their own rules.

In the perception of the demon clan, the territory of Chu State is the demon domain that originally supported the ancient demon kings of Chu State.

Unless they come with the purpose of seizing the demon realm, otherwise, those demon gods coming to the State of Chu will inform those ancient demon gods and abide by the rules of those demon gods within the territory of the State of Chu.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of demons and gods in the territory of Chu State and to resolve the harassment of monsters of all sizes in the territory after the Chu army left, it is actually enough to just persuade the three demons and gods in the territory of Chu State.

Among the three demon gods, one of them is a bear, named Xiong Ba. Xiong Ba’s blood is in the bloodline of the royal family of Chu.

The second one is a fox spirit, from the fox branch, but it is unknown. After it fell into the Chu State, it has lived in Wushan for a long time and is called the goddess of Wushan, Wuling.

The third one is from the bird family. Its emblem is in the shape of a phoenix and has the aura of a phoenix. Its name is: Zaoge.

The Phoenix clan has its own rules and laws, and they are of very high origin, so few of them 'fall' to become demon gods - but Zao Ge is a demon god, and his name has nothing to do with the Phoenix clan. It can be seen that he not only does not recognize the origin of the Phoenix clan, but also has some grudges against them.

Similarly, these three original demon gods of Chu also had different views and considerations on the State of Chu.

As one of the "ancestors" of the Chu State, Xiong Ba naturally wants to see the Chu State become strong and supports Chu's hegemony. Because of his connection with the Chu State, he is also one of the rare demon gods in the world who is not rejected by the human spirit.

But apart from Xiong Ba, the Wushan goddess Wu Ling and Zao Ge had their own considerations on the situation in the State of Chu.

In the considerations of these two people, it is best for Chu State to maintain the current situation - Chu State is, after all, a country of humanity. Although there is the blood of the demon race in the bodies of the Chu people, the people of Chu State are still human beings after all.

Once the State of Chu becomes powerful, firstly, the immortal gods of humanity will not allow the demon clan to continue to collude with the State of Chu. Secondly, the powerful king of the State of Chu may have other ideas about these demon gods. If they conflict with each other and the transit between humans and demons in the State of Chu collapses, the good situation will be ruined.

Among the three of them, Xiong Ba can take advantage of the power of Chu State to go one step further, and even jump out of the barriers of the demon clan and become the righteous gods of heaven and earth. However, Wu Ling and Zao Ge will become sinners of the demon clan and will be rejected and hunted by other big demons.

Moreover, as a country with close ties with the demon clan, the difficulty of Chu wanting to dominate is much greater than that of other vassal states. What if, when the final moment comes, the king and his ministers of Chu betray the demon clan for the sake of hegemony and completely break away from them, wouldn't they all become victims of Chu's hegemony?

This is a risky and completely useless thing, so Wu Ling and Zao Ge are naturally unwilling to do it.

Rather than giving Chu a chance to choose and testing its "humanity", it would be better to nip Chu in the bud from the beginning in the bud and prevent it from expanding into the Central Plains and striving for hegemony.

In this way, even though the king and his ministers of Chu were dissatisfied with them, they could still get along with Xiong Ba mediating despite their conflicts.

"Lord Yunzhong, you don't need to say more." Zao Ge said to Lord Yunzhong. "Now in the surrounding small countries, your temples are broken and the incense is cut off. Everyone knows that you are very worried now."

"Moreover, you are the God of humanity, and you are one with humanity. Your words cannot be trusted. They cannot be believed."

"I am the God of Humanity, but how can I, the God of Humanity, and the demon race be in opposition?"

"I was born from mythology - but where is the origin of mythology?"

"Taiyi." Yun Zhongjun's voice slowly slowed down.

"But Taiyi, is it the Taiyi of humanity, or the Taiyi of the demon race?"

"If he had returned earlier, he might still be Taiyi of the demon race."

"But if he returns late, he must be Taiyi of the human race." Yun Zhongjun said the taboo name very calmly, talking about the gamble between humans and monsters that ordinary people dare not mention.

"Whether Chu is strong or weak is just a matter of incense offerings to me."

"But I was born directly from a myth, not from a divine decree or from the incense. What does the amount of incense mean to me?"

"Even if there are a lot of incense, can it help me cross the Daluo Heaven Gate?"

"Even if there are few people offering incense, can it still ruin my foundation?"

"The reason why I support Chu's struggle for hegemony is, in the final analysis, nothing more than wanting to expand the legend of Chu's Taiyi, so that Taiyi can revive as soon as possible and break free from the shackles of the human race."

Yun Zhongjun was extremely calm, and directly related the Chu State's struggle for hegemony to Taiyi's position when he was revived.

As soon as these words were spoken, both Zao Ge and Wu Ling fell silent in an instant.

Although the demon clan can hardly be called a 'demon clan', the demon gods of the demon clan all have their own thoughts and ideas, and it is difficult for them to accept each other, but there is also an overall situation belonging to the demon clan among the demon clan.

The revival of Taiyi is the overall situation for the demon clan.

Especially after the Bull King brought back news about the "Demon King" from outside the domain, Taiyi's revival became an even more urgent matter.

And this is exactly the reason why Yun Zhongjun is confident that he can suppress the ulterior motives of all the demons and gods within the territory of Chu.

For the demon race, Taiyi's existence is like a belief.

"What do you think?" Yun Zhongjun looked at Zao Ge and Wu Ling who were interested.

"You two shall sit in the State of Chu and use the laws of Chu to control all the monsters and gods in Chu."

"In exchange, the demon race will have a better chance of winning the game against the human race."

"Let's do this." Wu Ling spoke while Zao Ge was still hesitating.

At this moment, this ancient demon god who was very knowledgeable about human nature suddenly realized something and was filled with regret.

Yun Zhongjun is the god of humanity - this saying has been circulating for so long that even she herself was confused by it and really regarded Yun Zhongjun as a vassal of humanity.

But the problem is that Yun Zhongjun is a being that was born from the Taiyi mythology, and his existence can be regarded as the core of the Taiyi mythology. He is the "deputy lord" in this system and Taiyi's assistant.

It would be fine if the human race claimed that Yun Zhongjun was the god of humanity, but if even the demon race firmly believed that Yun Zhongjun was the god of humanity and had nothing to do with the demon race, then after Taiyi was resurrected, wouldn't he be inherently close to humanity?

Aren't they, the demon race, destined to lose the gamble they made with the human race by using their own demon king?

The moment he realized this, cold sweat began to run down the back of Wu Ling, the Taiyi Demon God.

Zao Ge next to him reacted a little slower, but after Wu Ling sent a message to him, his face also turned pale in an instant.

"Please rest assured, my lord." Zao Ge also expressed his opinion immediately.

"We and Jingchu are one. When the army is out, we will restrain the monsters and will not let them harm the Chu State."

"If there are monsters that wilfully cause harm, the Lord of Gods can kill them."

As soon as these words were spoken, the situation in the State of Chu naturally became different again - since ancient times, there have been monsters active in the land of Jingchu, creating trouble out of nothing.

As for these monsters, both the royal family and the gods in the Chu State had a headache.

Don't bother with it. Behind these monsters are the demon gods. If you intervene too harshly and embarrass these demon gods, these unruly demon gods will make a big fuss and overturn the table without any care, then the entire Chu State will be destroyed.

Even if it doesn't come to this, if those evil gods insist on the king making an apology, then the State of Chu will lose all face.

But if we leave them alone, these mountain spirits and water monsters will become a real headache. Although they won't eat people blatantly, they will make people in the country uneasy.

Therefore, since ancient times, the Chu State's way of dealing with those mountain spirits and water monsters was to turn a blind eye and treat those monsters as if they did not exist - if any mortals were affected by the monsters, it was their own bad luck.

If monsters are killed by mortals, and if the situation gets out of hand and they are surrounded and killed by a large army, it is because they are stupid and incompetent, and the demon gods will not help them - if practitioners kill those monsters, then it depends on luck, and whether the big demons behind those monsters, or those demon gods, can suddenly remember this matter.

If you don't remember it, then you'll be fine. But if you remember it, then you'll lose your life.

Therefore, since ancient times, the mountain spirits and water monsters in the Chu State have been rarely restrained.

The reason for this is not because these demon gods in the territory of Chu State must compete with the royal family of Chu State, but because of the bet between them and the human race. They must make the demon race leave enough traces of the demon race in the territory of Chu State.

Allowing those mountain spirits and water monsters to make trouble in the State of Chu from time to time can not only block the red line acceptable to the State of Chu and humanity, but also prevent the traces of the monsters in the State of Chu from retreating.

But now, after Zao Ge gave Yun Zhongjun the authority to "punish" those mountain spirits and water monsters, the situation of the mountain spirits and water monsters in the territory of Chu would naturally be completely different from before.
