Chapter 908 The Requirements of Perfection in Shinto
On the land of Jiuzhou, millions of divine lights bloomed at the same time, and the dazzling brilliance of Shinto soared into the sky and intertwined in the air, like a golden net, covering the entire land of Jiuzhou.
This is the Shinto net, the supreme divine net transformed by the rules of Shinto. Any place covered by the divine net is the territory of Shinto, and all spirits on earth will be protected by all gods.
At this moment, looking from the sky towards Kyushu, one can see that every node of the Shinto web is glowing, with faint light and shadow emerging.
Each node has a corresponding god. The gods work together and connect with each other to build the entire divine network and maintain its operation.
Those faint lights and shadows are the reflections of the gods on the divine net, or in other words, every point of light represents a god.
If you look carefully, you will see that many of the lights and shadows are illusory, just an empty shell with nothing inside except Shinto talismans. Only a few lights and shadows have images of gods emerging inside.
If the light and shadow are occupied, it means that the god position already has an owner. If the light and shadow are empty, it means that the corresponding god has not been born yet.
This divine net formed by the rules of Shinto only lasted for a moment in the world of Kyushu before slowly dissipating. If the gods are incomplete and the divine net is not perfect, how can it survive for a long time?
The number of one yuan is a perfect number. Therefore, the Divine Net has 129,600 nodes, which exactly corresponds to the number of one yuan.
One node is a god, and one god can enshrine a god. One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred nodes are one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred gods.
This means that for Shinto to be complete, Jiang Chen needs to canonize 129,600 gods.
Moreover, the gods here do not refer to small gods such as mountain gods and earth gods, but to the righteous gods who control the power of heaven and earth. They have the same life span as heaven and are immortal. If you change to the immortal way, it is the same as Jin Xianxiang.
correspond.
Jiang Chen needs to canonize 129,600 gods with powers comparable to those of the Golden Immortal before the divine way can be considered initially complete, or in other words, the foundation has been laid.
If a Taoism wants to prosper, it must have supreme masters at the Hunyuan level and many powerful people to take charge. But what can 129,600 golden immortals do? Let alone 120,000, if you escape Xuanmen,
1.2 billion golden immortals can be collected for you.
On top of the 129,600,000 gods, there are 36,000 god kings, whose strength is comparable to the innate Tao Lord. On top of the 36,000 god kings, there are 365 god kings, whose strength is comparable to
Innate Taoist Lord.
Above this, there are the twelve main gods, whose strength is either quasi-sage or a person with great supernatural powers. Finally, there is the ancestor god, whose strength is comparable to that of a saint.
Of course, under the gods, there are also earth gods. As the name suggests, they are not qualified to enter the divine realm. Gods stationed in the human world, and those whose strength is lower than that of the Golden Immortal, are all earth gods.
Just like the Mountain God, Water God and Land that Jiang Chen canonized, as well as most of the City Gods, their power is extremely far away from the Golden Immortal, so they are all Earth Gods.
It is precisely because of this that the divine net formed by their power only lasts for a moment and then slowly dissipates.
The six levels of gods, namely the earth god, the god of heaven, the king of gods, the lord of gods, the main god, and the ancestor god, together constitute the Shinto system.
Among them, only the earth gods are countless, and the other levels of gods all have a certain number. Only when the number meets the requirements, the Shinto will be complete and a complete Shinto net will be derived.
This so-called fixed number is not a constant number, but a minimum requirement, that is to say, it can be exceeded, but must not be met.
Shinto is considered complete only when it meets a certain number of requirements. Next, the more gods there are, the more prosperous Shinto will be. However, as the saying goes, the greatest prosperity must eventually decline. If there are too many gods, Shinto will inevitably decline.
To put it bluntly, this god is an official in heaven and earth who needs living beings to support him. If the number of officials is small, it is easy to be overwhelmed. But if the number of officials is large, it is also not a good thing.
Therefore, Shinto masters need to always pay attention to the number of gods to prevent too many gods from causing the decline of Shinto luck.
…
"One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred gods, thirty-six thousand god kings, three hundred sixty-five gods, twelve main gods, and one ancestor god."
"Tsk, tsk, this Shinto is here to mess with me, right? Where can I get twelve main gods who are comparable to those with great supernatural powers?"
Jiang Chen's face turned green after learning about the requirements for the perfection of Shinto. The first five gods were okay. Although there were many of them, it was not impossible to achieve with hard work, but the main god was a bit difficult to handle.
It can be said that since the founding of the world by Pangu, except for the Xuanmen Demon Sect and the Wu Clan, no force has been heard of that can possess more than ten great supernatural beings.
Twelve main gods, this is simply too difficult for someone to do. It has been two or three hundred years since Jiang Chen opened the Shinto. He counted the gods who could become the main gods, and he could only find two in the entire Shinto.
That is Cang and Amitabha.
Needless to say, both of them were gods created by Jiang Chen himself, and they were chosen by heaven. One was a born master of the Shinto Way, and the other was a born master of the Buddhist Way. They were fully qualified to become the Lord God.
"It's not like there's no third candidate."
"To be precise, if you add them all up, there should be five candidates for the main god in Shinto."
"Cang and Amitabha can be counted as two. If you grant Tang Valley to Han Yuan, he can also be counted as one. If you enlighten the eight pagodas and let him merge with the great virtue and majestic king Buddha, he can also be counted as one."
"That's four."
"And the fifth one is the Temple of Chaos plus the Infinite Bowl. If you merge the two, you will have the chance to become the main god in the future."
Jiang Chen calculated carefully and found quite a few main god seeds. Each of the artifacts he had refined previously was a born god, and they all had the potential to become main gods.
That is to say, the Temple of Chaos and the Infinite Alms Bowl are slightly different. They are only treasures at the Taoist level. Like Hanyuan and Babu Pagoda, they are both quasi-sage level magic weapons. If you want to become the main god, it is just a temporary step.
"So many gods will really find trouble for me!"
Jiang Chen was a little helpless. If he had known that creating the Shinto was so troublesome, he would have left all these matters to Cang.
He had previously sent countless clones to travel throughout the Nine Provinces, and the total number of gods he had canonized was tens of thousands.
Unfortunately, the strongest among these gods is only as strong as a heavenly immortal, and is still extremely far away from becoming a golden immortal.
In other words, he had been busy for most of the day, but not a single god could be canonized.
Nowadays, the gods of the Shinto system are basically concentrated in Cangshan Mountain. They are either gods of Cang or disciples of Shangqing Palace.
It is not an easy task to gather the gods needed for the perfection of Shinto.
"I hope this trip to Luoyang can help me." Looking at Luoyang in front of him, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of a way to quickly strengthen the Shinto.
He set his sights on Confucianism and Taoism!
Now is the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Confucianism and Taoism have not yet degenerated, and the hearts of Confucian scholars have not yet been corrupted. Today's Confucian scholars have not yet given up the six skills of a gentleman, and all of them are capable of literary and military skills.
The five virtues of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust are still in your heart.
A Confucian scholar must be a scholar, but a scholar may not be a Confucian scholar. If he is not proficient in the six arts, cannot ride a horse and wield a sword, is not proficient in arithmetic, and is not proficient in punishment names, what kind of Confucian scholar is he?
From a certain point of view, a true Confucian scholar is the most suitable person to become a god.
Because if a Confucian scholar wants to realize his ambition, he must become an official and govern a place. If he succeeds and the people live and work in peace and contentment, they will have merit.
Also, Confucians cannot live forever. Even if they become a great Confucian, with strength comparable to that of an innate Taoist master, their life span will only be three to five hundred years at most.
If you have moral character and merit, but cannot live a long life, isn't this the best candidate for Shinto?
Living as an official brings blessings to the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. After death, becoming a god can still protect the people and bless them with good weather and peace every year.
Moreover, because of their cultivation during their lifetime, Confucian scholars can instantly possess powerful power and ascend to the highest divine position after converting to Shintoism.
For example, if a great Confucian who is comparable to the Innate Taoist Master turns to Shintoism after his death, he will directly become a Divine Master, and his realm will correspond to that of the Innate Taoist Master.
In today's world, although Confucianism and Taoism do not have half-saints whose strength is comparable to that of quasi-saints, or sub-sages whose strength is comparable to those of great supernatural powers, there are still quite a lot of great Confucianists, and there are more than a dozen of them openly, and even more secretly they don't know how to hide them.
How many.
If all these people converted to Shinto, Shinto would immediately have dozens more gods.
There are more than a dozen great Confucians, and there are even more famous Confucian scholars under the great Confucians. If you just pick them up, you can get hundreds of them. If these people turn to Shintoism, they will start as divine kings.
"Look at it earlier. If possible, let Shinto and Confucianism merge. We will be Confucian during our lifetime and become gods after our death."
"If the effect is good, when I unify the nine provinces and rule the world in the future, I can also bind the Shinto to the official way. All capable ministers and good generals can become gods after death, and strengthen the Shinto with the imperial court of humanity."
Thinking about the future prospects of God, Jiang Chen couldn't help but glance at Jiuzhou.
In his eyes, a vague golden net appeared in a place where mortals could not see, covering the entire world of Kyushu.
Looking through the golden net and continuing to look back, you can vaguely see a vast world, including the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and earth.
If someone with great supernatural powers saw this world, they would definitely scream in surprise. Because this world is exactly the same as the ancient world.
The prehistoric divine realm!
The complete prehistoric divine realm!
After the Divine Network is completed, it will turn into countless rules of heaven and earth, giving rise to the complete prehistoric world. And the 129,600 gods will turn into pillars to support the prehistoric divine realm.
Only when the divine way is perfected can the Great Desolate God Realm be completed. And when the Great Desolate God Realm is completed, it will be the time when Jiang Chen reshapes the prehistoric world.
At that time, the illusory prehistoric world overlaps with the real heaven and earth, the virtual and the real become one, the false becomes true and the true becomes false, and the most extreme Tao Fruit, the Hunyuan Tao Fruit, will evolve.
And this is Jiang Chen’s method for his ninth enlightenment. After his ninth enlightenment, Jiang Chen will definitely become the Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian with the deepest foundation.
…
As dusk approached, Jiang Chen arrived outside Luoyang City.
Luoyang!
This is a very legendary city.
Founded in the Xia Dynasty, it is one of the oldest capitals of the human dynasty and one of the few ancient cities in the human race that has been handed down from ancient times.
According to legend, Luoyang City was destroyed several times. This is not wrong, but what was destroyed was only the shell of Luoyang City, not its mark.
This ancient city, which has been passed down from ancient times, has long been channeled, and its imprint is imprinted on the heaven and earth. It is immortal and coexists with the destiny of the human race.
Because of the existence of this mark, even if the city of Luoyang was destroyed several times, it still has a strong foundation. The place where the mark is located can gather the luck from all directions.
Precisely because of its ability to gather luck, many emperors in later generations chose to make Luoyang their capital when they established their dynasties.
At this moment, when Jiang Chen came to Luoyang, he suddenly felt a breath of vicissitudes of life rushing towards his face.
He is the King of Humans, the most noble person in Kyushu, and he shares the fate of the human race. Therefore, the Luoyang he sees in his eyes is different from what ordinary people see.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Luoyang is just an ancient city, but in Jiang Chen's eyes, Luoyang is an ancient history that records the rise and fall of dynasties.
He saw the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the loss of Taikang, and the execution of Taikang by Yi. All the Nine Cauldrons fell into Yi's hands.
Yi killed Taikang, not because of a change of dynasty. After he ascended the throne, he was still the king of Xia Dynasty, so Yi was also called Hou Yi. Hou means Queen of Xia.
Jiang Chen also saw that after Luoyang was destroyed, Emperor Shang built a new city not far away. He saw Duke Zhou assisting the government and making Luoyang the capital.
He also saw the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the rise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Then the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. After countless years, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, established his capital here again.
Phew!
As he watched, the afterimages of history in Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly disappeared and were burned away by a ball of bright fire, turning into countless bright spots of light.
The next moment, the light points gathered together and turned into a huge dragon and phoenix in front of Jiang Chen's eyes. He had the body of a real dragon, but also had a pair of phoenix wings.
"Dragon Phoenix, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty Liu Xiu!"
The moment he saw this dragon and phoenix, Jiang Chen immediately guessed its origin. It was the remnants of Liu Xiu, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Xiu is a very legendary figure, even more legendary than his ancestor Liu Bang, and is known as the son of the plane.
The two founding emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty seemed to have unparalleled luck.
Liu Bang was the son of the Red Emperor, so it was understandable that he was lucky. After all, he had someone in heaven. But Liu Xiu was a bit exaggerated. He actually defeated Wang Mang.
Wang Mang is also a legendary figure. The history of his fortune is also related to Jiang Chen. It was precisely because he accidentally obtained the manuscript that Jiang Chen wrote when he was bored that Wang Mang's performance was so advanced.
To a certain extent, Wang Mang was tainted with Jiang Chen's good fortune, so his luck was extremely strong, and he was able to successfully usurp the throne and establish himself as emperor.
However, Wang Mang had good luck, but Liu Xiu had better luck than him.
I don’t know how many years have passed since the war between the three clans, but there are still people who can obtain the blood of the ancestral dragon and phoenix at the same time. Do you think this is an exaggeration?
Liu Xiu was so exaggerated. When he was young, he also obtained the blood of the ancestral dragon and phoenix.
I can't stand it any longer.
After the release, the epidemic appeared directly around me.
