I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

The gods discussed for a long time and decided on their respective priesthoods.

Xia Geng, the corpse god, develops his belief in death and the soul, while Yu Qiang, the wind god, focuses on celestial phenomena, the sun, the moon and stars.

The flower god Yingzhao is named after life, while the mountain god Wuluo is named after mountains, rivers and the earth.

The division was quickly made clear. The clergy did not interfere with each other and left enough scope for future expansion.

After all, there are few competitors now, and other ancient gods who are lucky enough to be alive are hiding in caves to practice cultivation, and do not want to be involved in the catastrophe of the era.

Secondly, the gods have doubts. They have lived too long and experienced too many pitfalls, and have long been accustomed to doubting everything.

The trinity of priesthood, divine position, and authority is too mysteriously combined with the power of faith, and then binds and domesticates believers through temples, doctrines, and levels.

Such a religion is far more fortified than Buddhism and Taoism!

Believers' long-term devotion to faith lasts forever, and in theory it can really expand the divine power!

A complete and thorough system can be built on its own, but the gods are unwilling to share it anyway.

For example, Zhou Yi directly founded a monotheistic religion and promoted it with the help of the power of the underworld, which might make the gods alienate. However, once it succeeds, it can control ten thousand ways and there will be no rivals in heaven and earth.

"It looks like a kind-hearted person, but in reality, the heart is dark! He may appear generous on the surface, but he must be vindictive on the inside... The more people like this have no desires and desires, the more they plan to do something truly appalling!"

Xia Geng has served in the underworld for the longest time and has the best understanding of the past of the Book of Changes.

So he made up his mind not to build a temple in the mortal world for the time being, but to wait and see the direction of the wind and follow other gods.

"Now that you have discussed the priesthood, there is one more thing that needs to be decided in advance."

Zhou Yi said slowly: "The temple must be built outside the territory, and the power of the avenue is only given to the human race outside the territory. The promotion of doctrines is prohibited in the five continents of the human race."

The saints have clear minds and instantly understand the reason.

Laziness and greed are human nature. If you can obtain powerful magic by asking God to teach you, who would be willing to work hard to practice Taoism?

What's more, the authority granted by gods to believers only depends on the amount of incense and faith. Some devout believers can easily obtain the strength of monks who have practiced hard for tens or even hundreds of years in a short period of time.

People in the world are greedy and pursue profit. Not everyone can pursue immortality wholeheartedly!

"You should abide by the rules set by the Lord, but..."

Yu Qiang's voice changed: "If we don't spread the teachings in the five realms, we can't stop them from building their own temples to worship gods."

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

Taoist Master Yuqing announced his Taoist title: "Do you mean, fellow Taoist Yu Qiang, that the teachings written by gods are better than the Buddhist scriptures? Do you want to try? The World Honored One can defeat everyone!"

The World-Honored One raised his eyebrows, but he knew the seriousness of this matter and all the saints must join forces.

The Buddhist and Taoist classics have been passed down for a long time. From the original creation by the Taoist Patriarch, the scriptures have been interpreted, supplemented and expanded by countless immortals and Buddhas, and have become a common existence of "Tao and reason".

The gods and men of ancient times were strong enough to make themselves stronger. They were not good at the meaning of the scriptures, let alone debating the scriptures with the World Honored One!

Yu Qiang was not easy to deal with either, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "The greatest sutra and truth in the world is that if your fist is hard enough, World Honored One can try it!"

"..."

The World Honored One wanted to remind Yu Qiang that the person arguing with him was Taoist Yuqing.

"Don't let such small things hurt your harmony."

Seeing that the two sides were unwilling to give in, Zhou Yi took the initiative to mediate: "It's better to do this, as long as the Demon Court is destroyed. Before, we could only preach outside the territory, but after that, everyone will rely on their own abilities!"

"Just do what the Lord said!"

The gods looked at each other and agreed in unison.

"good!"

The Confucianists, Mohists, and Buddhists nodded in agreement, but the Four Saints still had grudges in their hearts. They reached an agreement when their eyes met, and privately joined forces to check and balance the ancient gods.

Only the lonely Painting Saint watched the two distinct factions in the palace as a bystander, as well as Zhou Yi who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

From a superficial perspective, this is the art of checks and balances.

The people in charge of various departments in the underworld are all related to the saints of the human race, and their power far exceeds that of the ancient gods.

When you have great power, you will inevitably have other thoughts, such as plotting to become the ruler of the palace.

Nowadays, with the support of the underworld, the ancient gods build temples, preach doctrines, and recruit believers. In the future, they may have an advantage over the saints in the mortal world.

As a result, the saints and gods were divided into two factions, with internal and external checks and balances on each other.

The position of Lord of the Mansion is naturally as stable as Mount Tai. No matter who is replaced, the other faction will firmly oppose it!

Looking further, the long-term impact of this move is difficult to predict.

The Painting Sage firmly believes that the human race is destined to prosper. This is just a matter of time. Today's division of the underworld into two factions, the gods and the saints, may have paved the way for the catastrophe of the next era.

"The prince has no intention of power. What he did today must be for the latter. What is his intention?"

The painting saint had a vague guess in his heart, but it was too shocking and he couldn't be sure.

Is there anyone in the world who has cut off his own path?

Zhou Yi felt emotional and took a deep look at the Painting Saint, and then expressed compassion for nature and humanity.

"I have set this rule for the sake of the outsiders to get rid of the demon clan's slavery as soon as possible! The gods enjoy the human race's incense and offerings, but they need to put more thought into it, so that they can control the road in the future!"

"The Lord is so kind!"

The saints and gods clapped their hands and praised.

The gods then discussed other details, such as the style and specifications of the temple, the compilation of doctrines, etc., all with the core of slaying demons.

Originally, the gods were willing to contribute but were not active in the fight between the Demon Court and the Underworld. Now, with faith as a guide, they all offered suggestions and advice.

Only by overthrowing the Demon Court and prospering the human race can the gods gain the greatest benefits!

After discussing for half a month, the saints and gods dispersed.

"Sure enough, only with motivation can we be efficient!"

Zhou Yi looked at the several volumes in his hand. They were doctrinal scriptures created by the gods and could be used for dissemination.

"The ancient gods...human nature is greedy, and so are the gods!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yi waved his hand to open the Sun and Moon Cave and stepped into it.

…

Sun and moon cave sky.

Under the peach tree.

Zhouyi opened the list of gods, activated his magic power, and summoned Qingfu Zhengshen.

Wisps of incense divine power flew out from the list and slowly condensed into human forms, exactly like Zhang Cheng, Cui Yuan and others.

"The Great Heavenly Lord summons the Little God, but what are your instructions?"

Zhang Cheng changed his usual laziness and actually looked solemn and bowed to salute.

"Um?"

Zhou Yi was confused and glanced at the plague god Yang Qi.

Yang Qi is the best at guessing his intentions and does not hide his flattery: "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Lord, the little gods are discussing in the list. In the future, it should be as regulated as the underworld."

"No need for this, please sit down."

Zhou Yi waved his hand and cast a spell, taking seven leaves from the Enlightenment tea tree, which happened to fall on the tea cups in front of everyone.

Brew with boiling water and the tea will be fragrant.

Each leaf of the enlightened tea tree has a different taste. The one picked and brewed by Zhouyi coincides with the attributes of Zhang Cheng and others.

The named disciple Qingliantongzi smelled the spiritual energy of the immortal plant from the same source, and couldn't wait to drink it all in one gulp. He still wanted to drink it: "Master, have another drink."

An old man's face appeared on the laurel fairy plant, its branches swayed, and a laurel fruit fell into the green lotus tea bowl.

"Fairy fruit? No, it's an unripe green fruit!"

Qinglian boy's eyes brightened, and when he tasted the tea again, he felt that the essence of taiyin was flowing in his body, and the spiritual light shone brightly.

The laurel fairy fruit has the magical effect of immortality and rebirth with blood. Even if it is an immature fruit, it can greatly strengthen the body after taking it. Zhou Yi practiced the Nine-Revolution Body Refining Technique and was able to reach the Eighth-Revolution in a short period of time. Yue Guixianzhu made great contributions.

Old Yue Gui's face was full of smiles, and she complimented: "You are the disciple of the great master, an innate fairy. Don't dislike the mere spiritual fruit."

"How can you dislike the fruit of an immortal plant? But you only gave me one. Are you looking down on all the righteous gods?"

Qinglian boy has always been someone who doesn't take things too seriously, but now that he has Zhou Yi as his teacher and Nuoda as his backer, his temper has become more out-of-control.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng, Cui Yuan, Yan Chixiao, Wang Yuanhua and other righteous gods turned their eyes and stared at the laurel fairy tree, asking the old tree to give an explanation.

Qingfu Zhengshen is mainly based on Zhou Yi and is revered as the Great Heavenly Lord, but this does not mean that he is really temperamental.

The list of gods suppresses the true spirit, and there is nothing the Forgotten River can do. With an immortal body, even the demon gods dare to fight in front of them!

"I never meant this!"

The laurel fairy plant looked helpless. As its branches swayed, six more fruits grew and fell into the teacup.

"That's right."

Qinglian boy chuckled: "Don't be angry, fellow Daoist Yuegui. When you turn around, I will give you a copy of my experience of transforming into a fairy."

Yue Gui's old face suddenly beamed with joy. It was extremely difficult for a fairy plant to transform into another form. With guidance, many detours could be avoided.

After the Qinglian boy was so noisy, the originally solemn atmosphere became cheerful.

Zhou Yi glanced at the named disciple. On the surface, he looked like a three-foot-tall boy, pink and cute, but in reality he was a million-year-old monster who had reached the pinnacle of understanding people's hearts.

Fortunately, he was caught on the day he transformed. If he was allowed to run amok in the three realms, he might cause too much trouble!

Zhou Yi made a note of Qing Lian Tongzi in his heart, and returned to the topic: "Old Zhang, if you are so reserved again, don't be too picky to go to Chunfeng Tower with you in the future."

Zhang Cheng's face fell, and he regained his lazy posture: "I just said that Brother Yi is Brother Yi, called Lao Shizi, Great Heavenly Lord, and we have alienated our feelings for nothing."

Cui Yuan said with a smile: "It's just that damn Yang Qi who has so many thoughts. He thinks about flattering every day, saying that if he wants to replace the Demon Court in the future, he must first establish the rules of respect and inferiority!"

Yang Qi grimaced and did not dare to refute. No matter who was present, he was not someone he could offend.

Having enjoyed the position of Qingfu Zhengshen, Yang Qi would rather die than lose it!

"I have the same interests as you, and I have never thought about superiority and inferiority. But Yang Qi is right in what he said. The Demon Court was destroyed, and Qingfu Zhengshen built the Heaven Court in its place."

Zhou Yi said firmly: "Only when heaven and earth confront each other can the Three Realms be stable, and there must be no chaos in the mortal world."

Yan Chixiao is in charge of Guimen Pass and knows the strength of the underworld best. He shook his head and said: "The underworld will be able to overthrow the Demon Court in the future. Its momentum is so powerful that no Qingfu Zhengsheng can control it!"

"Pindao calls you all here today and talks about deliberation to officially launch the canonization of gods!"

Zhou Yi slowly opened the list of gods: "Three hundred and sixty-five pure and blessed gods, immortal and immortal, are enough to support the power of the heaven."

Li Zhi reminded aloud: "Fellow Taoist, please don't forget that the biggest enemy now is Demon Court!"

"That's natural."

Zhou Yi waved his hand, and a huge curtain appeared in the sky. On it was the map of Yun, Hunxi, and Feng continents.

The red represents the human city, and the black mark represents the demon territory. Although the black area is large now, it is faintly surrounded by red.

"To be canonized as the God of Pure Fortune, you must perform meritorious deeds for the human race. The fastest way is to kill demons!"

Zhou Yi said: "In this case, Pindao will promote the war between the two races and expand the human domain outward. Based on the current Three Kingdoms, we will first thoroughly sort out the three continents, and then expand westward and southward."

Wang Yuanhua looked unbearable: "If you do this, many people will die, billions of them!"

Zhou Yi nodded slightly.

"There is no luck that falls from the sky in the world. The prosperity of the human race does not depend on you and me, nor the gods and Buddhas. It should be earned from blood and fire!"
