Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

"The Prison-Suppressing King."

Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha couldn't help but ask: "What you mean is that you want our underworld to cooperate with King Wangyou and King Chenling to form an alliance to fight against the other kings."

"It's not against other kings."

The jailer explained: "I have said that all the heavenly kings in the eight divisions of Shenting have never been monolithic. They advocate giving you the blame for the underworld and imposing sanctions on the underworld so that they can interfere in the affairs of the underworld. The only ones who are most interested are those from the Lei Department. The Mo Dharma Heavenly King, the Thunder Saints under him, and the other Heavenly Kings each have different plans.”

"What you mean is that these kings can be defeated individually."

Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha exhaled slightly as if snorting: "On the other hand, we must board your chariot?"

"You are right, Ksitigarbha Holy Emperor."

Zhen Yu continued: "We must not only cooperate, but also unite together. The current world of Shenting, Heaven, the human world, and your underworld are not peaceful."

"The aura of disaster has not disappeared. Although this outbreak of disaster mainly affected the heaven, on the other hand, your underworld and the human world also suffered heavy losses, and disasters occurred everywhere."

"The energy of disaster is the calamity of the three realms of time and space. It is a calamity that even the Lord of the Divine Court cannot avoid. To quell this calamity, the underworld should take the initiative to take some responsibilities, for example, use a large amount of merit to calm the calamity."

When the Ksitigarbha Holy Emperor heard this, he was shocked and his eyes narrowed.

"It turns out that you, the prison guard, know that the power of merit can offset part of the evil spirit."

It's a secret. Although there are no convenient means in the world that can combat the aura of disaster and completely eliminate this aura of disaster, the power of merit can offset it.

The Buddhists also say that by generating bodhicitta and making great vows, you can defeat karma.

After the power of merit collides with the energy of disaster, the two will annihilate each other and no trace of them will exist. The disaster and pollution caused by disaster can also be eliminated.

The Lord of the Divine Court also adopted this approach. He established a merit system and a punishment mechanism based on the rules of the Divine Court to reward good and punish evil. He tried to replace the flow of karma and cause and effect. Although this goal is not complete, he has also collected a large number of The power of merit.

After the establishment of the merit system, merit has become the most important hard currency in the three realms of time and space. It is both money and resources.

In the three realms of time and space, both the immortals and gods at the top and the underworld gods at the lowest level all need this hard currency.

——The Golden Wheel of Great Merit is a supreme magic weapon specially used to absorb and circulate the power of these merits.

Outsiders all thought that this object was a treasure forged by the Ksitigarbha Holy Emperor based on his own foundation and with the fundamental imprints of the Nine Hells as the core.

In fact, it is a treasure created by the Lord of the Divine Court himself. In the three realms dominated by the Divine Court, the souls of all living beings are an important "resource".

By absorbing the souls of all living beings thrown into the underworld and extracting their residual value, the Great Merit Golden Wheel can condense the power of merit and absorb the energy of hell.

The merit system replaces the flow of cause and effect between heaven and earth, and at the same time stabilizes the balance of time and space in the three realms.

However, using merit to offset the aura of disaster is an act of getting half the result with twice the result, because it may take ten times the merit to offset a trace of aura of disaster.

"If it doesn't have this effect, then wouldn't it be foolish for the Lord of the Divine Court to use a merit system to replace cause and effect?"

The Prison Suppressing King said sincerely: "I am doing this for your own good. Although with this alliance, we have the right to speak, it is of no benefit. Others may not be convinced. The underworld can use merit to calm this disaster. Even, you, Ksitigarbha Holy Emperor, can hand over control of part of the Great Merit Golden Wheel in exchange for the support of other heavenly kings."

"Hahahahahahaha," Ksitigarbha Holy Emperor laughed: "Zhen Yu, this is really a good plan of yours. You asked me to hand over the control of the Great Merit Golden Wheel, and also create a large amount of merit for you. Several heavenly kings share the wealth, so why don’t I go to the Mo Dharma King?”

"Because the Mo Dharma King won't tolerate you at all."

Zhen Prison laughed: "You also know that Mo Fa wants to control not only the criminal laws of the divine court and heaven, but also the control of killings and crimes in the underworld, and the power to control the underworld is also firmly in his hands."

He continued to persuade: "In addition, Chen Ling, Wangyou and I will not take away your power, nor will we interfere in the affairs of the underworld. After this matter is settled, the nine hells of the underworld will always be independent in time and space.

In the future, the affairs between you and the eight emperors of Yama with regard to the jurisdiction of the underworld will remain unchanged. The gods and heavens cannot interfere at will. Besides, we ask you to hand over part of your control authority and use your merits to quell the evil spirit. That is not the case. Leave it in our hands. This thing can be discussed in the Heavenly King's Council and is used to seal other people. "

"You said so much."

Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha sneered: "In the end, it was our underworld that suffered the loss. The Divine Court and the Heavenly Realm still took nothing, and did not suffer any harm... Unfortunately, in the final reckoning, our underworld was still the big one in this matter. What a loss.”

It's not like he hasn't dealt with the Heavenly Kings of Shenting in the past. He knows that these guys are stingy by nature and will never do anything like "plucking a hair to benefit the world". Any behavior that harms the interests of these giants will not be allowed.

"You can't say that."

Zhen Yu said in a deep voice: "I have discussed this with Chen Ling and Wangyou. I feel that I cannot owe you the underworld. Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha. You only need to hand over one-third of the authority of the Golden Wheel of Great Merit to the Council of Heavenly Kings. There will be a place for you from now on.”

"We three heavenly kings will jointly request the establishment of a reincarnation court in the heaven of Shenting. The status is the same as that of the eight tribes. We will focus on the handover work between the heaven and the underworld. It is not good to rely too much on the network of the virtual law world. This reincarnation court is just a service The office is specialized in special affairs, and has authority over both divine and human affairs.”

"In the future, the underworld's underworld can freely enter and leave the heaven, and directly connect with the eight divisions of the divine court in the Samsara Court. In other words, your underworld can take root in the ninth level of the heaven. What do you think of my proposal?"

After these words were spoken, before Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha could speak, all the Sons of Yama around him started talking about it.

"Establishing a 'Reincarnation Court' in the Ninth Level of Heaven, with a status equal to that of the eight divisions of the Divine Court, is it just an 'empty' yamen with a false name and no real power?"

"If it's just an 'empty' yamen, it's really meaningless and it won't be of any benefit to us. However, if the Samsara Court can specialize in doing things, there will be a lot of benefits..."

"What do you mean?"

"The Reincarnation Court is set up in the heavenly realm of the Divine Court, with independent powers. However, the official priesthood belongs to the Divine Court system, but its status can be said to be transcendent and independent... From now on, whoever holds any position can be arranged by our underworld, regardless of Whether it is recruiting righteous gods from the Nine Heavens Realm, or recruiting Yin Gods from the Underworld to serve as important members of the Reincarnation Court, we can intervene at will..."

Several Yama emperors discussed with each other, and there was no doubt that this matter was a bad job.

"Suppress the prison."

Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha snorted and said: "I never thought that you, who are so eloquent, could come up with such a solution."

His eyes also became sharp.

"But, will other heavenly kings really agree to your proposal? Although they will not lose any profits in this matter, they may not gain anything, right?"

"This is simple."

Zhen Prison laughed and said confidently: "Ksitigarbha Holy Emperor, have you ever thought about how many years it would take to completely eliminate this evil energy? Ten years, twenty years, two hundred years, three hundred years... …or seven or eight hundred years.”

"What do you mean?"

Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha asked: "Are you planning to let the Reincarnation Court specifically manage the energy of disaster?"

“I don’t know how long it will take to clear away these evil spirits.”

Zhen Prison smiled slightly: "The Reincarnation Court will take care of this matter from now on. After all, you have the Golden Wheel of great merit, and there is still a chance to offset these evil spirits with merit, but it will cost a lot. The problem is that these merits are not in your own pocket. Yes, no matter how much you spend, it’s just that you don’t feel bad for selling your land.”

He added: "I am too lazy to say more about this... I don't think everyone present is interested in continuing to guard the family property for the Lord of the Divine Court, right?"

After the words of "suppressing the prison" were thrown out, the eight emperors of Yama couldn't help laughing. The power of merit is not their own, and no one will feel that it will cost them their own interests.

At this time, the eight commanders of the underworld, the Yamas with the highest status, also agreed very much with Zhen Yu's words.

"To put it bluntly, this matter is equivalent to your underworld guarding the treasure mountain of the Great Merit Golden Wheel. You can't do anything. For a long time, you have been guarding this great treasure house, but you are restricted by the checks and balances of the Lord of the Divine Court, and you cannot use it casually. , I can only watch these merits being sent to the heaven by the virtual law world network, isn’t this frustrating?”

The prison's mouth is full of gushes. His eloquence is really great, and his tongue is as smooth as a lotus. With a few words, he moved many people present.

"My proposal is to give you a chance to avoid 'entering Treasure Mountain but returning empty-handed'. From now on, the Reincarnation Court will be responsible for dealing with the aura of disaster. I don't need to say more about the benefits..."

At this time, Styx was simply like an entrepreneurial tycoon who defrauded investors by just talking, or an Indian in Silicon Valley who got his results all by boasting about PPT.

He boasted that his plan and idea of ​​creating a "Reincarnation Court" was rare in the sky and unique on earth, as if not adopting it would be the biggest loss to the nine hells of the underworld.

At this time, it is impossible to say that the Ksitigarbha Holy Emperor and the eight Yama Emperors have no intention of moving.

"My true body is the Golden Wheel of Great Merit," Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha said secretly: "But for me, I have to get rid of this true body sooner or later. For me, who has now become an immortal, this thing has long been a burden and an eternal burden. Bondage.”

"That bit of control is not a big deal to me. On the contrary, if the Reincarnation Court can be built this time, although I will lose one-third of the control, I will gain the benefit of using the power of the Reincarnation Court to control merit."

"In addition, the Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha can also push the forces of the underworld into the time and space of the heaven, try to establish power in the heaven, and spread his influence. The seats in the Council of Heavenly Kings are not that rare. After all, my strength is a little inferior. Those heavenly kings only gave me a name, but this thing is better than nothing, and it’s not bad at all.”

Since the establishment of the Three Realms system, the Lord of the Divine Court has made every move with heavy calculations. The body of the Ksitigarbha Holy Emperor has been sealed in the time and space of hell, and cannot escape at all. It is extremely laborious for him to use the power of his body, and he is also trapped in the Great Merit. Near the golden wheel.

The power of merit is indeed collected, operated and controlled by the Great Merit Golden Wheel. However, how it is spent and from what channels is beyond the control of Ksitigarbha Holy Emperor.

To put it bluntly, you are just a treasury, not even a bank.

The virtual Dharma Realm network of the Ministry of Heavenly Works is connected to the Great Merit Golden Wheel at any time. Every account involving the operation of merit must be supervised by the Ministry of Heavenly Works and the virtual Dharma Realm network, which leads to the underworld being controlled by others in the merit system.

The establishment of the Samsara Court can skip the supervision and control part of the merit system by itself. Money can be spent at will, and it can be spent wherever it wants.

"This is called making up a pretext."

Beside the Heavenly King of Hell, no, Ji Changli, He Ping said indifferently: "Anyway, this matter, in general, has no loss to the eight departments of the Divine Court, and it is profitable for the underworld. Although some people will inevitably be jealous in the future, at this stage, no one will say much. Moreover, the Samsara Court is responsible for the aura of disasters, which is also convenient for the underworld to take the blame for the "failure" in this matter. This is equivalent to "self-punishment". When the Heavenly Kings know about it, they can also save face."

Ji Changli deeply admired his insights. Although he is good at speaking and can be a lobbyist, he is not as familiar with He Ping as He Ping in starting from the details, dissecting the interest chains of each other, and doing such things as making up names and redistributing.

"Okay."

The Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha secretly communicated with the eight Yama Kings, and after confirming that everything was correct, he said calmly: "Heavenly King of Hell, your proposal has indeed touched our underworld. The matter of the alliance will be as you say."

"Wait."

The Heavenly King of Hell raised his hand and unexpectedly interrupted him.

"Before we form an alliance, there is another very important thing..."

"Huh? What is it?"

The Holy Emperor Ksitigarbha was very confused.

The Heavenly King of Hell suddenly grabbed with his big hand, and suddenly captured the Red Lotus Pure World King among the eight Yama Kings, and pinched him in his palm at once.

"Die for me."

He exerted force on his palm and crushed the Yama King on the spot.

"You...what are you doing?"

The Ksitigarbha Emperor was furious, and the other seven Yama Kings also roared and were about to take action. At the same time, the high-level officials in the underworld were also confused, wondering why the Prison King suddenly jumped up!

"Wait a minute, everyone."

The Prison King opened the barrier of the three realms, and an invisible force enveloped him.

"The reason why I killed the Red Lotus King of the Pure World was to get rid of this spy. This guy has been secretly colluding with the Lord of the Fairy Palace for many years, and has long become a spy of the Fairy Palace. He specializes in the underworld, conducting various espionages, and leaking a lot of news. We are going to do big things now, and we must get rid of this scourge."

He spread his hands, and the shattered Yama King turned into streams of air, reassembled, and turned into a blood-mud Buddha.

"The Ye Luo King Buddha on the other side?!"

The Ksitigarbha Emperor was also shocked. He had never expected that the Red Lotus King of the Pure World had another identity, that is, the Ye Luo King Buddha, a master of the other side who was undercover in the underworld.
