Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 723 Emperor and Emperor

"I would like to hear the details." said the Jade Emperor.

It’s not that the Jade Emperor has not faced the Human Emperor before - in the past generations, almost every generation of Human Emperor has dealt with the Jade Emperor.

And the feeling that each Human Emperor gives to the Jade Emperor is also different.

However, this was the first time that the Jade Emperor faced an existence like the First Emperor.

In past generations, starting from the Ji Zhou Dynasty, the status of human beings between heaven and earth has been downgraded once again - the existence of human kings has been replaced by the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven!

In the Ji Zhou Dynasty, which was founded on rites and laws, the king of Ji Zhou called himself the Son of Heaven. One can imagine what this meant.

Therefore, after the Ji Zhou Dynasty, although the King of Qin re-unified the human race with an unprecedented strong attitude, the King of Qin at that time only upgraded the status of the Son of Heaven and resumed the inheritance of the King of Man.

But in this generation, when several other princes showed signs of being promoted to become human kings, the King of Qin, Zheng, used incredible means to destroy the six kingdoms and reunite the human race.

Furthermore, in this generation, the human race has not been degraded.

Thus, he reunified the politics of the human race and directly became the new Human Emperor.

An emperor who would do anything to achieve his goals and was more terrifying than any other emperor in the past.

An emperor who totally disregards any rules, any tacit understanding, and even less any consequences.

The Jade Emperor had no doubt that the First Emperor, who had unified the human race, was determined to sweep his troops to the Heavenly Palace - after all, that powerful army was between heaven and earth, and after the unification of the human race, that powerful army had to find a place to go instead of disbanding on the spot.

Going to war with the human race, with the protagonist of the world who is at the peak of his prosperity, even the saints are unwilling to do so, let alone the Jade Emperor.

That was why the Jade Emperor arrived at the Far North Camp earlier than expected - he wanted to use the military power of the Far North Camp to create enough deterrence and pressure on the First Emperor, so that the First Emperor would know what heaven is, what man is, and why heaven is above man.

This would prevent the First Emperor from even thinking of challenging the Heavenly Court.

This is the only solution the Jade Emperor can think of.

But now, Marshal Tianpeng said that there is another better way to face the First Emperor without having to worry about disputes.

How could the Jade Emperor not be curious?
"Your Majesty, this generation's Human Emperor is the only emperor who puts an end to all the princes. This generation of the human race has experienced countless slaughters and has become a divine sword forged in endless blood and fire."

"Such a powerful military force can be regarded as the pinnacle of human race since its birth, from ancient times to the present."

"With such a strong military force, why would Your Majesty want to fight against it?"

"The heaven and earth cannot accommodate such a powerful army - but outside the heavens, isn't that where this powerful army roams freely?"

"The First Emperor was a ruler who conquered and pioneered."

"In that case, why doesn't Your Majesty invite him to come from the outer world?"

"He is the emperor. External enemies are more serious than internal troubles. He must understand this truth."

"As long as he sees the power outside the domain and the power of the Heavenly Court, the most elite and powerful army under his command will naturally come to the outside world."

"With this common enemy outside the domain, the hidden danger of conflict between heaven and man will be completely eliminated."

"Isn't it?" Marshal Tianpeng said calmly.

The human race is powerful in military strength - this has never been a problem for him.

In this external battlefield, the casualties in the Far North Camp were so heavy that others could not imagine - almost every once in a while, there would be messengers from the Far North traveling between heaven and earth, sending the dead human soldiers to the Far North Camp to fight.

This "tradition" began a long time ago, but it was not until the Shang and Zhou dynasties that it became a real rule.

Therefore, in the eyes of Marshal Tianpeng, the military forces in the human world are the military forces under his own command.

He was not afraid that the human army was too strong, but he was afraid that the human soldiers were too weak.

Therefore, when he looked at the powerful army of the Qin Dynasty, he was only extremely envious, but not afraid at all.

Hearing the words of Marshal Tianpeng, the Jade Emperor was suddenly stunned.

In a trance, the advice from Taibai Jinxing seemed to echo in his mind again.

To be the Emperor of Heaven, one should have the mind of the Emperor of Heaven - how can the Emperor of Heaven regard all living beings in heaven and earth as his enemies?

Marshal Tianpeng was just a marshal, but he instinctively regarded the powerful human race as "his own people" and wanted to unite these human races to fight against the outside world.

But why, after seeing such a powerful human race, the perception that arises in my heart is hostile?

"Could it be that even Tian Peng is more magnanimous than me, the Heavenly Emperor, and is more suitable for the position of Heavenly Emperor than me?"

Such doubts then emerged in the Jade Emperor's mind.

After a short period of time, the doubt immediately disappeared.

"How can it be!"

"If he is more suitable for the position of Heavenly Emperor than I am, then why is it I who has been the Heavenly Emperor for countless generations, and not him?"

"As for not considering the human race as their own."

"In my time, the human race was not our own people - and as the Emperor of Heaven, what I see should be the crisis that ordinary people cannot see."

"That's why I can see the threat of the human race being out of control!"

"However, Tianpeng's strategy might as well be given a try."

"If we can lead the Qin army to the outer space, then I will be the only support for this army in the outer space - when the emperor dies, this army will become my general."

"Go ahead, I can use these soldiers to hold Tianpeng hostage and drive a nail into the Far North Camp."

"Retreat, I can also use this to strengthen the army and overwhelm the world."

“To take a step further, if Emperor Zheng is unwilling to go to the Far North to join the war, then if I go to the Far North and order Tianpeng to send troops, I don’t think Tianpeng will refuse me.” The Jade Emperor thought for a while, then stood up and saluted Tianpeng.

"What a great plan that combines heaven and man."

"If it weren't for the Grand Marshal's vigilance, I would have almost made a big mistake!"

The Jade Emperor left immediately and returned to Heaven.

As for the Kun Dao named Su Liuguang - since Marshal Tianpeng has cut off his past, Su Liuguang no longer has his original value, and there is no need for him to appear in front of Marshal Tianpeng and provoke his anger.

In the Heavenly Palace, as the First Emperor of Humankind traveled around the world, more and more immortals and gods appeared in the Heavenly Palace and waited in front of the Hall of Fragrance.

However, the pressure brought to the immortals and gods by the First Emperor's tour of the world was growing, making it increasingly difficult for these immortals and gods to bear.

Among these many immortals and gods, there is one who is extremely eye-catching.

An existence at the level of an emperor.

Emperor Dongyue, Huang Feihu!

He holds the power over one of the Five Mountains and has authority over life, death and the underworld - although his strength is only Taiyi, after his authority over life and death has penetrated into his body, he is already infinitely close to Daluo.

Some even believed that the reason why this Emperor of Dongyue was only Taiyi and had not yet achieved Daluo was because he was imitating those saintly disciples and wanted to learn from them, directly skipping the ordinary Daluo stage and ascending to heaven in one step to become a great supernatural being. In short, in the cognition of almost all immortals and gods between heaven and earth, this Emperor of Dongyue, the head of the Five Mountains, was bound to become Daluo.

And the existence of this person is also the banner of the earthly gods - in the faction of the heavenly court, the one he worships is also the Queen Mother of the Earth, rather than the Jade Emperor of the Heaven.

But at this time, the gods who came and went here did not find it strange at all when they saw Emperor Dongyue sitting and waiting in front of the Pixiang Hall.

After all, the emperor’s divine domain is located in Mount Tai.

And the place chosen by the first emperor of the human race for Fengshan was also Mount Tai?
If other gods and immortals between heaven and earth could choose to avoid or delay with excuses like seclusion when facing the First Emperor, then as the master of the Dongyue land, the Emperor of Dongyue had no place to retreat or avoid in front of the First Emperor!
Not only the Emperor of Dongyue, but all the gods of the earth lineage had no room to maneuver in front of the First Emperor.

Even the Goddess of Earth, Hou Tu, found this situation extremely difficult - ever since the First Emperor's tour, gods from all over the earth had burned incense and prayed to Hou Tu, but no god had received a response from her.

It was as if the Queen Mother Hou Tu was also considering what attitude she should adopt towards the First Emperor of the human race.

But Hou Tu Niangniang has room for thinking and consideration, but where does Huang Feihu, the Emperor of Dongyue, have room for maneuver?

Under such circumstances, Huang Feihu had no choice but to come to Heaven.

After all, in terms of the 'rules' between heaven and earth, the Emperor of Heaven is the most valuable, followed by the Sovereign Emperor - and the Human Emperor is equal to the Sovereign Emperor, second only to the Emperor of Heaven.

At this time, the status of the First Emperor was that of the Human Emperor - and he was not a Human King with no power but just a name like in the late Ji Dynasty, but a real and powerful Human Emperor who commanded countless armies and even dared to use his army to encircle and kill Daluo.

The status of the Human Emperor is naturally higher than that of the Human King, and also higher than that of an emperor like Dong Yue.

To be honest, in the entire world, only the title of Emperor of Heaven can be compared with that of Emperor of Man.

As for heaven and man, they are one - the title of the Human Emperor is also within the system of Heaven, and he is one of the dual rulers of the heaven and earth.

Following this logic, it means that if the Human Emperor issued an imperial decree to the Emperor of Dongyue, the Emperor of Dongyue would need to obey this imperial decree.

Just like at this moment, the Human Emperor has ordered that all the immortals and gods on earth, and even the practitioners, must go to Xianyang to receive the imperial decree.

If Dong Yue does not obey the imperial edict, the Human Emperor can even directly demote Dong Yue, and deprive Dong Yue of his throne according to the rules between heaven and earth - even if he does not do so, as long as he uses the Human Emperor's order to confer another God of Dong Yue, it will be enough to shake Dong Yue's foundation.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Dongyue could only come to Heaven to ask the Emperor for help.

The Heavenly Court must have an explanation on how to face the first emperor of the human race.

If you do not acknowledge the title of Human Emperor as being equal to Heavenly Emperor, then you must be prepared for war. As the Emperor of Dongyue, you must also prepare your own backup plan as soon as possible.

If the title of the Human Emperor is acknowledged, then the Emperor of Heaven must give himself, the Emperor of Dongyue, a guarantee - or, to put it another way, if the title of the Human Emperor is acknowledged, then when the Human Emperor comes to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, he, the Emperor of Dongyue, is "unworthy" to entertain the Human Emperor as a host.

Only the Emperor of Heaven can come forward to correspond with the Emperor of Man.

Only the Emperor of Heaven can come forward and have a dialogue with the Human Emperor in the land of Dongyue.

"Where has His Majesty the Jade Emperor gone?" As the First Emperor's sedan chair rolled, the distance between Dong Yue and the First Emperor became closer and closer. The Emperor Dong Yue, who was waiting at the entrance of the Pixiang Hall, became more and more hurried and anxious.

At this moment, the door of the Hall of Fragrance slowly opened.

"My dear ministers, why have you gathered in the Hall of Incense?"

"Could it be that something unexpected happened in the human world?" The Jade Emperor's voice rang out.

Then a group of immortals and gods came in one after another according to the level of their karma, led by Huang Feihu, the Emperor of Mount Dong, and talked about the First Emperor's tour of the world.

"So it's about the Human Emperor." Mingzhu emitted the light of a lamp, illuminating the Pixiang Hall and revealing the Jade Emperor's extremely 'kind' face.

"I have already discussed the matter of the Human Emperor with Marshal Tianpeng."

“My dear ministers, please rest assured. When the Human Emperor arrives at Mount Tai, I will follow Tianpeng’s advice and go to Mount Tai myself to discuss the affairs of heaven and earth with the Human Emperor.” The Jade Emperor specifically mentioned the title of Marshal Tianpeng.

First, as the commander of the most elite forces in Heaven and a close follower of Lord Haotian, Marshal Tianpeng's inclinations play an important role in the influence of the Jade Emperor in Heaven.

Secondly, if the Jade Emperor and the Human Emperor cannot reach a consensus, then with the Grand Marshal Tianpeng as a stepping stone, the Jade Emperor can also step down.

……

"Your Majesty, how should we respond now?" A dragon god spoke from the Huaishui Dragon Court.

What they were talking about was also the decree that came from the Emperor of Man - requiring all gods in the world to go to Xianyang to receive their titles.

The dragon clan is also among them.

Li Nu was no exception - under the decree of the Human Emperor, regardless of what happened to other immortals and gods, Li Nu had already been given the title of the Goddess of Mount Li by the First Emperor.

As for this title, Li Nu felt deeply humiliated.

Where is Mount Li?
It was the burial place chosen by the First Emperor for himself.

What is the goddess of Mount Li? She is there to guard his tomb!
"My queen, the emperor is tyrannical and is even more obsessed with killing real dragons."

"If my dragon clan really goes to Xianyang, we may all die in Xianyang."

"Yes, my dear."

"Since the Dragon Lord went into seclusion, I, the True Dragon of the Dragon Court, have been following the orders of the Queen and have stayed away from the world."

"Even the power over the water system that was not given up during the Huailong dispute was thrown away completely."

"It's just that this Human Emperor, if I retreat an inch, he will advance a foot."

"My lady, I can't retreat any further."

"Otherwise, we can only retreat back to the four seas."

“By that time, the four words ‘Four Rivers Dragon Court’ will have been completely digested.”

——What is the Four Rivers Dragon Court?
Control the Dragon Court of the Four Rivers.

Even if most of the water authority is lost, as long as the Dragon Court still stands on land, the Four Rivers Dragon Court, which symbolizes the dragon clan's pioneering power, will still exist between heaven and earth.

But if the real dragons of the Four Rivers Dragon Court retreated back to the four seas, then the Four Rivers Dragon Court would completely become history and become a shame in the history of the dragon clan.

In the Dragon Court, other Dragon Gods also spoke up.

Grief, resentment, and other emotions are intertwined here.

After the Chu State aspired to take the throne, Ao Bing went to the time and space of the Daluo and did not return for nearly ten thousand years - and the Dragon Clan also began to shrink and "disregard worldly affairs" from that time.

This contraction obviously made the current First Emperor underestimate the dragon clan and treat them as a soft persimmon.

His decrees were applied to the heaven and earth, but he issued three decrees in succession specifically to the dragon clan.

The first one was an imperial decree to confer the title of Li Nu as the Goddess of Mount Li.

The second one was an imperial decree ordering the Dragon Clan to go to Xianyang to receive their title.

The third one is like giving orders to subordinates, ordering the dragon clan to cooperate with the movements of the Iron Eagle Terrace to hunt down the demon gods of the Chu State.

These three edicts can be said to have directly forced the dragon clan into a point where they had no way to retreat.
