Chapter 593: The Great Wish of the Heavenly Netherworld Master
More than ten years have passed, not only the four islands of Kyushu,
Even in the vast and distant sea, as long as there are islands with large-scale settlements,
No matter how big or small, they are now covered by the underworld, and a City God's Temple stands on every island.
Although Xie Que did not directly establish a temple in the world of Yingzhou,
But as the Lord of the Underworld and the true ruler of the Underworld City God,
The power of faith that he was able to absorb through the City God's Yin Division reached a shockingly huge amount.
After all, the existence of life is always accompanied by death, which is an inevitable law.
Although there is no clear reincarnation mechanism in the underworld, there will still be creatures awakening memories of previous lives from time to time.
But the millstone of life and death also contains part of the law of reincarnation.
It not only eliminates most of the karma within the true spirit and cuts off every ghost's past and present life,
In this way, it also greatly reduces the possibility of monks awakening to Su Hui.
Coupled with the large-scale publicity that the Heian shogunate spared no effort in, more and more people began to spontaneously go to the City God Temple to pray, hoping to find a good family in the next life.
This upsurge of faith undoubtedly brought a steady stream of faith to Xie Que.
The belief in incense is the consciousness of all living beings and the foundation of the way of heaven.
Moreover, the amount of incense that Xie Que obtained was so huge that it was enough to alarm Heaven.
And this also means that Tiandao will appear in this world and become a god, and he cannot stop Tiandao from peeking.
Xie Que had already anticipated this possible outcome.
And I have repeatedly pondered many coping strategies in my mind.
Among the many countermeasures, he believed that the simplest and most effective method was to transfer the memories that did not originally belong to Kurokawa Takeshi.
It was sealed in a temporary way and treated as an outsider's memory that Kurokawa Takeshi accidentally acquired.
This kind of processing method is enough to prevent Tiandao from detecting the abnormality.
After all, it’s a matter of chance, who can tell?
However, in order to completely eliminate any possible hidden dangers, Xie Que also further eliminated Takeshi Kurokawa's subconscious awareness of his own memory.
And if the life-and-death millstone is used on this body, those sealed memories will take over again and become the main ones, thus ensuring that Xie Que always maintains the highest control over this body.
In order to ensure that this plan is foolproof, Xie Que has rehearsed it countless times in his mind, and even conducted actual exercises at the Tiandao in Xiaobei Sea Realm.
After this series of careful preparations and tests, he was convinced that there would be no problems with his plan.
And it was on this day that golden lotuses suddenly spread out in the sky, and clouds fell thousands of miles down.
"Today, Takeshi Kurokawa has used his mortal body to reshape the cycle of life and death in Yingzhou, to separate the good and the ghosts, and to help the people live in order. His merits are complete, so he will be made a god in this world!"
This voice was indifferent and indifferent, yet it was so powerful that it resounded throughout the entire Yingzhou world.
And this sound is not made through the mouth and tongue, but is transmitted through the spiritual energy that shakes the world, which makes the number of people who can hear it unknown.
For a moment, everyone who could sense the presence of spiritual energy, whether they were onmyojis or warriors, heard this voice clearly.
The news spread throughout the world in an instant, and no one failed to hear it and no one was not surprised.
Furukawa Hideki, who was practicing in seclusion, also heard this voice, and his heart seemed to be struck by thunder.
He immediately ended his retreat and shot straight into the sky in a flash.
He looked at the golden light in the distance, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, and he murmured to himself:
"Fengshen...the teacher actually chose such a path."
At this moment, all the onmyojis in the world were shocked.
Especially those onmyojis with advanced cultivation, they can more deeply understand the will of heaven contained in this sound.
It is a supreme and irresistible force.
Among the shocked crowd, there were many old antiques that had survived from the time of the Earthly Immortal Realm to this day.
They know that since millions of years ago,
The god Nichiren ruled the world, united the party and defeated the different parties, and the temple was destroyed and the god fell.
Moreover, it is a well-known fact that since the birth of Yingzhou Tiandao, only one god, Nichiren Kami, has been enshrined.
Nowadays, the voice of heaven is echoing in the sky again. The amount of information contained behind it is huge and makes people think deeply.
This sound not only heralds the birth of a new god, but may also represent the change of an era and the establishment of a new order.
In a quiet mountain stream, after hearing the voice of heaven, the divine general who originally belonged to the Tianshogunate,
He immediately fell to his knees, blood and tears welling up in his eyes.
"Why..." he roared in a low voice, his voice full of despair and confusion.
"Kurokawa Takeshi, the leader of thieves who stole the world, was actually recognized by heaven and became a god in this world..."
"Your Majesty...please wake up quickly..."
He called out to his former master, hoping that he could wake up and change everything.
However, he knew this was just wishful thinking on his part.
He did not dare to face the fact that Kurokawa Takeshi became a god, and he was even less willing to face the meaning behind it.
That is that the era of Nichiren Kami has passed, and the era of Takeshi Kurokawa is coming.
This is an irreversible trend and the beginning of a new era has begun.
…
Xie Que stared at the sky, where a pupil without any emotion could be seen vaguely in the golden light.
He knew that what he was facing now was not the Heavenly Dao that he could control in the past.
Therefore, he had to be extremely careful in every move to avoid offending the Heavenly Power.
He took a deep breath, solemnly bowed to the pupil, and raised his hands to show respect.
Then, he declared loudly:
"I will be deified today in accordance with the will of Heaven!"
As soon as these words came out, the pupil gradually disappeared in the golden light, and a cluster of dazzling golden streams slowly fell, flowing like a waterfall in the sky.
As the golden stream fell, a vast and boundless heavenly voice rang in Xie Que's ears:
"You have made great contributions, so you are deified as the Lord of the Netherworld."
This voice seemed to penetrate the boundaries of time and space and directly penetrate into Xie Que's body.
Immediately afterwards, he realized that his body began to be baptized by a strange power.
This power seemed to be overbearing, but it was extremely gentle when it merged into his body.
It penetrated into every inch of his skin like a trickle of water, nourishing his soul.
At the same time, the incense faith in his body was also guided by this power and continued to penetrate into every part of his body.
Xie Que felt all these changes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He understood that this was the Heavenly Dao personally creating a divine body for him to help him complete the ceremony of conferring the gods.
This also meant that he had successfully escaped the previous disaster.
As long as he did not delve into his own memory, the Heavenly Dao would not be able to detect his true identity.
Not only that, Xie Que could also deeply feel that some of the authority that originally belonged to the Heavenly Dao seemed to be gradually merging with him.
At this time, his understanding of many laws such as darkness, death, and reincarnation became more profound and clear.
However, when hearing the voice of the Heavenly Dao, Xie Que felt a subtle emotion in his heart.
"Just a master... this seems a little insufficient..."
"Not even as generous as the Pantheon."
Xie Que was slandering in his heart, but he was not dissatisfied.
After all, this was the conferment of the Heavenly Dao of Yingzhou, not the self-conferment of the monsters in the Pantheon, each of them was a great master.
"Conferring the gods... so that's how it is..."
In the process of being recreated by the Heavenly Dao, Xie Que gradually understood the secret of conferring the gods.
The Heavenly Dao naturally has its own set of methods to prevent the loss of consciousness of all living beings.
The method is also very simple, that is to confer the gods!
Through the conferment of the gods, although the Heavenly Dao has granted the conferred gods some authority,
but from another perspective, the Heavenly Dao also shares part of the incense faith of the conferred gods.
From this point of view, both sides have a win-win situation.
And the method of worshiping the gods is that the gods avoid the part of the incense faith taken away by the Heavenly Dao,
directly bind the dead believers from the foundation of the soul, and the gods only need to pay a small amount of "toll" to the Heavenly Dao to obtain most of the incense faith.
The believers "sell" themselves to the gods they believe in.
The worshippers who are not favored by the Heavenly Dao naturally have no way to practice normally,
and can only improve their strength through the gift of the gods.
For the supreme Heavenly Dao, which always maintains absolute rationality, the long sleep of Nichiren God is actually not a big deal.
In the grand perspective of the Heavenly Dao, as long as no external forces covet Yingzhou at the current stage,
then it is in an absolute self-interested state and will not easily share its own power with anyone.
Among them, the consciousness of all beings, that is, the faith of incense, is particularly important.
Faith is the source of power for the Heavenly Dao.
However, Xie Que has now touched this sensitive threshold.
The amount of faith incense he harvested through the underworld is so huge that it has exceeded the limit that the Heavenly Dao can tolerate.
However, the Heavenly Dao will not easily punish the gods or kill those who touch its bottom line with a thunderbolt.
After all, doing so may cause more disputes and chaos, which is not good for the Heavenly Dao itself.
Therefore, although Xie Que's behavior has touched the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao,
the Heavenly Dao still chose to deal with this problem in a more stable way, that is, to confer gods!
And because it is impossible to directly touch and use the incense faith, this leads to the fact that the worshippers can never ignite the divine fire, and thus cannot reach the realm of the Venerable.
Xie Que now has a clear understanding of the pros and cons of conferring gods.
Even after knowing this, Xie Que hesitated about worshipping gods at a deeper level.
The so-called worshipping gods is actually nothing more than selling oneself to the gods and becoming their slaves.
Although this method can easily gain power, the price is to sacrifice personal future and freedom.
This is also why Dashun warned Xie Que that gods and Buddhas are "poisonous" when he first came to this world.
The root of the problem is not the incense itself, but the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao cuts off the path of all worshippers. After all, most of the incense produced by them goes into the pockets of the gods, not the Heavenly Dao.
"The Heavenly Dao really has a good idea..."
However, just as Xie Que was lost in thought, his smile suddenly froze on his face.
"Not good!"
Xie Que was suddenly shocked. He suddenly felt that the Heavenly Dao was trying to separate the connection between the underworld and itself.
At this moment, Xie Que did not care about the danger of being discovered by the Emperor's Will, and directly activated the grinding wheel of life and death.
It instantly blocked the will of heaven temporarily, protecting the connection between the underworld and itself from being cut off.
At this moment, the will of heaven, which had originally tried to invade the underworld, seemed to be enraged.
The bright golden light it emitted actually exploded directly.
In an instant, a circle of ring-shaped ripples spread from the center of the explosion and quickly swept half of the underworld.
Under the impact of this force, the earth shook violently, as if it was about to overturn.
And those ghosts and ghost soldiers who were originally wandering in the underworld also dissipated into clouds and smoke under the ravages of this force and no longer existed.
Seeing this scene, Xie Que's pupils suddenly shrank, and endless anger surged in his heart.
His ten years of hard work were almost destroyed at this moment!
Just when he was about to take action, the voice of heaven sounded in his ears again.
This time the voice was different from the previous ones. It was only directed at Xie Que.
"There is the breath of an outsider in the underworld. Give it to me..."
The voice of the Heavenly Dao was cold and majestic. Xie Que broke out in a cold sweat.
He just remembered at this moment that the real owner of the underworld was the original body, and his body only had control.
He didn't expect that he would fail at this step.
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao of Yingzhou had coveted the underworld for a long time, and these were just excuses.
What he really wanted was to control the underworld himself.
But no matter which one it was, Xie Que couldn't accept losing the underworld.
He would rather blow up his identity and slap the Heavenly Dao twice than lose the underworld!
At this time, he didn't make any other moves.
He understood that if he didn't do it well at this moment, he would end up with his soul and spirit destroyed.
Xie Que took a deep breath. In fact, it was very simple to deal with this matter.
That was to transfer the ownership of the underworld and erase the traces of the original body.
But what it brought was the dispute over the ownership of the underworld in the future.
But the most important thing now is to solve the trouble in front of him.
If something goes wrong, the ownership of the underworld will be taken away by the heaven.
He now... has another idea, but it is also risky.
Xie Que prayed in his heart, hoping that the master's magical power is great enough!
In the ruined world, Xie Que's body instantly covered his face with a Wu Chou mask, and his aura immediately imitated Furukawa Hideki.
In the infinitely distant Yingzhou underworld, the aura belonging to the outsider finally dissipated.
Xie Que, who was in Yingzhou, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the watchful eyes of Heaven, Xie Que had only one thought left:
"Since Heaven has favored me, I will be deified in this world and make a great wish!"
"I will purify my obsessions of the past, guide all sentient beings to the next life, and reshape the order of life and death!"
"If I fail, I will never see the secret of creation!"
In a trance, Xie Que heard another sound that resounded throughout Yingzhou,
"I will grant you a divine name, and wish to be the great master of the underworld!" (End of this chapter)
