Tiandao doesn't work today

After letting go of a group of Taoist cultivators, Yan Nu joined hands with Shen Leling and Lao Gui to press down from the clouds and land in the palace of Rome.

The slave rebels have occupied this huge city, as well as the surrounding manors and several small cities.

They established a new regime and all slaves became citizens.

At first, the governance of Sparta was poor. They had little culture. The nobles either ran away or were killed by them. The whole city was in chaos.

During the month when Yan Nu was trapped in the underworld, they were completely in vain.

It wasn't until Chi Qing came out that he helped them re-establish the government system, distribute land and industries, and restore some production.

In just ten days, the social order was already in order and running.

Because Sparta was a Thracian, that is, a former Greek, it established the ancient Greek city-state system, and he served as a consul elected by the citizens.

However, he seemed to understand and made a mess, but after all, the culture was like this, so Chi Qing followed the locals, introduced the laws and financial system of the Han Dynasty, and paired it with a system that combined Chinese and Western methods.

"Well done, Chi Qing, you can do it." Yan Nu praised.

Except for Miao Han, Yan Nu rarely has anyone as capable as Chi Qing. He has all kinds of laws and regulations at his fingertips, knows complicated data clearly, and handles government affairs with extreme efficiency.

Originally, the city of Rome was in a mess, and Yan Nu planned to let Miaohan help Sparta take care of it.

But Miaohan was too busy, and she was in charge of Xingtian's army. After Ragnarok, she immediately attacked various sects and took in loose cultivators from all continents.

As for Luo Yan, who was busy with matters in the underworld, he had no time.

As for Yuan Fu and other monks, although they are well-read in poetry and books and can do some paperwork, they have been practicing as immortals for hundreds of years and their management will be like that of masters and disciples of the sect.

Not to mention the Qing hermits, they are famous for being undisciplined and unable to take on anything.

In the end, it was Chi Qing who stood up and stabilized the situation in Rome.

If you think about it carefully, although Chi Qing is just a casual cultivator and has been reduced to a slave, he secretly planned and controlled this wave of uprising in Sparta.

"Senior is laughing at this. This junior once paid homage to Bo, the Chief Master of the Western Region of the Jin Dynasty. He aspires to help the country by becoming a famous minister. It is not my original intention to become a Taoist and become an immortal..."

Chi Qing stood up and held his hands in his hands, with bitterness on his lips.

"Oh?" Yan Nu's eyes lit up. The last person he heard wanted to help She Ji was Miao Han.

And among the group of monks, there is not even one of them. After all, he has cut off his mortal fire and is an outsider from now on.

Hoping to find people who care about the world among practitioners is like looking for beautiful jade in a mass grave!

"Do you want to help the country?"

Chi Qing said solemnly: "Although I am from a humble ninth-grade family, I still have the ambition to become a successful person."

"I have been studying for twenty years, for no other reason than to one day help the Jin Dynasty, clear up this turbid world, and create a peaceful and prosperous age with clear seas and clear rivers."

When Yan Nu heard about the peaceful and prosperous times, he smiled crookedly.

Among the immortals who came to be a master, none of the Chi Qing could make him happy.

What is a fellow-minded person? Although Xingtian is powerful, his goal is to shatter the destiny of heaven, not to achieve peace.

Xingtian is only a part of the Taiping Road. When Miaohan told the Immortal Emperor Nitian's strategy, he said that this was only the first step, but that the environment must be there first, and to implement it accurately on the Taiping Road, one needs to search up and down.

He said he was asking for help, but in fact, Miaohan was the only one thinking silently.

The way of others does not ultimately fall on how to manage peace. All those who punish the sky only want to overthrow that day.

"Peace is good! Brother! I just want peace in the world! Don't call me senior, we will be brothers from now on!"

Yan Nu grabbed his shoulders and laughed happily. Even though Chi Qing was weak and inconspicuous among Xingtian's forces, it made him feel as precious as gold.

Chi Qing was shocked and said quickly: "I don't dare to take it. I don't take it. Have you ever dared to call yourself a brother?"

"What senior! I'm only sixteen years old! How old are you?" Yan Nu said with a smile.

"What! You're sixteen years old?!" Chi Qing's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

Yan Nu is powerful in the cultivation world, and his strength is astonishing. He doesn't look like he is sixteen years old anymore!

The corners of Chi Qing's mouth twitched and he said, "I'm... thirty-five."

"You are my brother if you aspire to peace. I will call you Brother Chi from now on." Yan Nu grinned.

Chi Qing said in shame: "We, the scholars, should cultivate our moral integrity, regulate our families, govern our country, and bring peace to the world..."

"Then why did you become an immortal? Are you living overseas as a slave?" Yan Nu asked curiously.

Chi Qing looked sad: "I studied hard since I was a child, and I studied everywhere and visited famous teachers. Later, because I was proficient in the barbarian language, I was recommended to be an official in the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions. I worked conscientiously. From the beginning to the end, I didn't know that I had immortal bones... …”

"Fifteen years ago, the Qiangqu clan conquered Zhangye. Since then, the Western Regions have lost contact with the imperial court. I escaped from the chaos and was displaced. I only wanted to return home."

"However, the Qiangqu clan dominates the Western Region, so I had no choice but to take a detour through the desert, and in the end I almost died of thirst..."

"When I was about to die, a practitioner passed by, found me, and gave me food and water, so I survived."

Shen Leling sighed at the side: "What a good fate. He must have seen that you have immortal bones and wants to accept you as his disciple, right?"

Feng Junyou couldn't help but said: "I also know the desert in the Western Region. You are so brave. You dare to cross the desert alone."

"If it hadn't been for this unexpected encounter, I would have died."

Chi Qing nodded and said: "That's right, so I am still grateful to that monk for saving my life. It was also at that time that I learned that I had immortal bones. He said that I had good qualifications and wanted to accept me as a disciple and practice with him."

"But I am determined to help the country and want to return to the Central Plains. How can I want to follow him?"

"He tried to persuade me no matter what, but I refused. I just thanked him for saving my life and begged him to send me to Yumen Pass."

"The benefactor walked away in anger."

Shen Leling said in surprise: "We were in the desert at that time. You would definitely die if he left, so why not just pretend to agree to him? Survive first, why are you so stubborn?"

Chi Qing shook his head: "He saved my life, how could I lie to him?"

"I thought I was going to die. A few days after he left, I still headed towards the Central Plains, and eventually fell asleep from exhaustion in the desert."

"I didn't expect to wake up again and see food, water, and a scroll of Taoism."

Yan Nu smiled and said, "So he didn't leave?"

Shen Leling said: "I think he said it on purpose to see if Chi Qing would regret it. He never thought that Chi Qing would head towards the Central Plains until he fainted and died, and then gave up, but he still left Taoist scriptures and water to help him. Get out of the desert.”

Feng Junyou stroked his palm and said, "I'm afraid he really is a master. If you follow him, you will definitely have a great opportunity."

Chi Qing pursed his lips and said, "It's fate or not. I wanted to go back to the Central Plains and successfully walked out of the desert. Unexpectedly, I encountered bandits again."

"I was captured, suffered humiliation, and moved all the way west. I changed hands several times and was sold to Rome..."

"It was on this road that I learned Taoism by myself in order to escape and embarked on the path of spiritual practice. The Taoism is very comprehensive. In addition to many magic spells, it also describes military strategies, the scholarship of various schools of thought, and overseas experiences. The content is complex. Come to think of it, It is the essence of that monk’s life.”

"After I became a little successful, I was about to run away. However, the slave owners in Rome, possessing divine chains, imprisoned me until today. It has been fifteen years since I left the Central Plains."

Yan Nu sighed, Chi Qing was really unlucky.

No wonder that as a cultivator of immortality, he only wanted to help the country. He was forced to cultivate immortality and wanted to return to the Central Plains from the beginning to the end.

"If you want to go back to the Central Plains, I'll take you back."

"However, in human affairs, the interference of heaven is the most serious."

"We unite as one to defeat those immortals and gods. As long as we are strong, there is nothing Heaven can do to me."

"But if the general trend of the world is reversed, it will only get worse. All living beings will be devastated, the sky will collapse, and the world will eventually be destroyed. Earth, Feng, Shui, Fire, etc. will be re-refined."

Yan Nu explained the reason why the sky was first leveled, and then the world was leveled.

Chi Qing frowned: "I didn't expect destiny to be such a substantial thing. In the books I read, it has always been emphasized that the human heart is destiny."

"Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world..."

Yan Nu said straightforwardly: "That's right! What kind of destiny do you want?"

Chi Qing raised his head and looked at Yan Nu: "Speaking of the destruction of the world, Rome established a new religion and also mentioned a 'Great Judgment Day'."

"Protestant?"

Seeing that Yan Nu was unclear, Chi Qing quickly explained the dramatic changes in Rome in the past ten days.

"What? The belief in the gods has been abandoned?"

Yan Nu thinks this is a good thing. Anyway, the Roman pantheon is gone, so it’s okay if everyone doesn’t believe it.

As for the Heaven-defying gods under his command now, they are actually another pantheon of gods, relying on the beliefs of the Heaven-defying sect. In Christian terms, they are all devils.

Moreover, all the expenses in the underworld do not rely on human faith. They are all provided by Yan Nu with divine power. He simply has everything he needs.

Shuntian's Roman pantheon is dying out, but Yan Nu has backed up everything. He is Daozang, and his demise has nothing to do with him.

However, Rome changed its religion again, skipping the gods and directly believing in God, the way of heaven.

This is an obvious general trend.

"Is it necessary to have religion? People can live well on their own..."

Yan Nu curled his lips, muttered, stamped his feet, and called Luo Yan out of the underworld.

I saw a black light flickering on the ground, and Luo Yan walked out of the mist, wearing a black ink robe and holding a book in his hand, looking quite majestic.

Sparta, as well as some slaves who had been killed indiscriminately by the God of Death in the previous battle with Rome and were resurrected by the Yan slaves, all came to pay tribute.

"Greetings to King Yama of the Underworld."

Luo Yan hummed and got used to their names.

This group of Westerners put their surname at the end. After learning that his surname was Luo and his name was Yan, they called him Yan Luo.

He didn't bother to correct him. After all, this was the custom, so he simply called himself King of Hell.

"What are you calling me for?"

Yan Nu immediately asked about Christianity, and Luo Yan nodded: "I just found out about it."

He continued: "The three great judges discovered this matter when they were judging the recent deceased. According to my investigation, this Holy Lord belief has its origin very early."

"After all, this religion... appeared at the same time as Emperor Zhou, and has a history of more than 1,300 years."

"Because he ignored blood identity and respected equality for all, he was suppressed by the Roman Empire."

“Now that restrictions have been relaxed, it has suddenly become popular among all classes.”

"In its teachings, the Xingtian force is called Satan, and its incarnation is you."

“To God be the souls of believers, and to you the souls of unbelievers.”

"This is very targeted. People who believe in God really do not come to the underworld after death. As for whether a ray of true spirit can be snatched away in your artistic conception, it still needs to be tested."

Yan Nu grinned. His artistic conception can only intercept the true spirit, which is the consciousness that has lost its soul.

When a normal person dies, his soul is still there, and for the time being the underworld is run by the underworld's own ability to collect souls.

Now that the belief has changed, if Christians do not come to the underworld after death, they will no longer be under the control of the underworld.

Of course, you have to truly believe in it. Some superficial believers still come to their underworld...

"Are you trying to steal people from us? What is this religion like?" Yan Nu was not angry, but full of curiosity.

Luo Yan immediately told all he had learned about the social situation and teachings, and said deeply: "I have to say that it is generally loved by the majority of classes. It is much better than all polytheistic religions."

"No sacrifices are required, only worship, one day off every seven days, no work."

“The specific teachings are very simple, namely ‘faith’, ‘hope’ and ‘love’.”

"That is to say, let people believe in the Lord, hope for happiness after death, and admire the power of love. Because the Lord loves the world and sent His Son to suffer the sins for all living beings, people must also get along with each other in love and promote virtue."

"It is said that the bishop also urged the emperor to abolish 'slavery' because 'Christians cannot enslave Christians,' but the emperor did not accept it."

Yan Nu smiled and said: "This is pretty good. Isn't it much better than the original bullshit gods in Rome?"

When he heard that it was generally liked and accepted by the broad classes, that it preached love and virtue, and that it also wanted to abolish slavery, he certainly had no hostility towards this religion.

Even though he knew clearly that he believed in heaven, he still looked indifferent.

Luo Yan frowned and said, "But this is extremely detrimental to us. As a group of Satan, we are destined to be cast into the lake of fire by God in the Bible for eternal punishment."

Yan Nu said happily: "If I don't believe in this religion, will Heaven not want to seal me away forever?"

"They trapped me into the abyss and wanted to use strange objects to seal me, but I still came out."

Heaven can realize what people believe in together, but it is also limited by the upper limit of Heaven's ability.

The way of heaven cannot kill the Yan slave, it means that it cannot kill the Yan slave.

Even in this Bible, it only dares to say, "Consign Satan to the lake of fire for eternal punishment."

But is eternal punishment really eternal punishment? The gods also claimed that the abyss would trap Yannu forever, but Yannu came out within a month...

However, Luo Yan still said solemnly: "Yan Nu, this time is different. This is the 'unblocking measure' imposed by Heaven on him."

"This belief claims that all civilized gods are false gods and angels."

"This has a powerful 'theory annexation ability'. Any country that believes in this religion will not have its gods disappear, but will be directly absorbed by the civilization it conquers."

"Nowadays, some pantheons placed in small countries around the Roman Empire are being assimilated into the angel system."

"The army, in conjunction with the Bible, has the appearance of unifying all primitive faiths and polytheistic churches."

"Given time, all overseas pantheons will become angels."

"Of course, we can take the first step to conquer the gods and unify all the miscellaneous gods. In this way, we will have equal power."

"So this is essentially another duel platform built by Tiandao."

"He wants to unify the pantheon of all cultures and even all supernatural powers, and we can also divide them. In the end, everything will form two factions, Satan and God, Xingtian and Shuntian."

"When our power is higher than that of Shuntian, the final battle, the Great Judgment, will break out."

"I don't know what kind of power Heaven will have, but in the final battle, He will definitely be able to do whatever he wants without any restrictions."

"The error-correction capabilities to the limits of heaven will be unleashed, including but not limited to the end of the world."

Yan Nu smiled: "So that's it, Heaven is preparing for the final battle."

Seeing Yan Nu's heartless look, Shen Leling couldn't help but become anxious: "What are you thinking? Since Heaven has brought this religion to the forefront and spread it widely, it must be targeting you."

"If you ask me, just send out an army of hundreds of millions of undead and force the people of this empire to change their faith. In short, you can't believe in the way of heaven."

Yan Nu frowned and glanced at everyone: "Then we will really become evil spirits."

"We are enemies of Heaven, are we still afraid of being targeted?"

Shen Leling's eyes widened and he said, "What? Are you going to allow a religion that praises God like this and labels you as Satan to prevail?"

Yan Nu said calmly: "What's wrong? Since everyone has accepted this religion, why should I destroy it? What mistake did it make?"

"They believe in God, just like we Chinese people believe in heaven. When I open my mouth or shut up, it's God who cares. There is no problem in itself."

"The problem is... Aweng has worshiped God all his life, worked hard all his life, and always believed that everything will get better, and God has no road ahead. But God wants to use him to fill the catastrophe, and become a victim of the so-called destiny .”

"Could it be that if Aweng doesn't believe in God, he can live a good life? No, I'm afraid he has lost his last bit of hope."

Shen Leling was stunned for a moment. Yan Nu always looked at problems from Aweng's perspective.

Although it is very simple, it also has an indescribable domineering quality.

Yan Nu grinned and said, "What's wrong with people pursuing beauty? Why should we change the beliefs of innocent people?"

"It's the gods who are at fault, the strange things called 'God' and 'Heaven'. They took advantage of people's hearts and failed them."

"If one day this religion degenerates and is full of sin and injustice, then people will definitely resist, and I will support them and walk with them."

"As for the great trial, what are you afraid of? If Heaven doesn't challenge me for a decisive battle, I will still challenge it for a decisive battle."

"Whether everyone believes in God or not, this is not the business of Xingtianzhi."

"We only care about one thing...if God doesn't do it well, I'll beat it until it gets better!"

Shen Leling was stunned. Yan Nu was extremely confident in his words, as if he was an iron-headed boy, but she understood.

The so-called belief is part of civilization. In essence, it is the expectation of people's hearts. They punish heaven and have no reason to change people's hearts.

On the contrary, we should conform to people's hearts and change the gods of heaven so that they can truly work for the common people.

This is the original intention of Xingtian's way.

…

p.s: Sorry. Came back too late. I only coded five thousand words, and it was already past twelve o'clock. The current situation is that my grandmother has completely lost her ability to breathe on her own and relies solely on a ventilator. The only follow-up is to inform you of all funeral arrangements and when to extubate. This feeling that how long I can live depends only on when the queue will arrive at the packed funeral home... It makes me feel a little nervous. I was raised by my grandmother, from birth to college. Today my mother told me, ‘The person who loves you the most is leaving.’ I felt numb all over. She coughed up blood when I became erect, but I didn't take it seriously, thinking that she would be cured soon after being sent to the hospital. However, yesterday my mother suddenly told me that I wouldn't be able to make it through the night. Today I was told that I am still hanging in the ICE to delay my funeral arrangements, but in fact I am already destined to die. It's an indescribable feeling, it's very torturous, I really feel like it would be better to do it suddenly.
