The purer the innate spiritual light, the more mysterious the power. Facing this innate spiritual light, even Jiang Chen had the illusion of being seen through.
It was as if being illuminated by this light, all the dark thoughts in his heart were exposed and appeared naked in the sunlight.
"Is the aura pure and able to distinguish good from evil?"
Jiang Chen felt in his heart that this was a person with great knowledge. Just by looking at him, he could tell whether the person in front of him was good or bad.
"Why do you want to stay in the human world instead of going to heaven?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
Inside the innate spiritual light, there is an old man with an old face. His face is full of wrinkles and his hair is gray, but it is combed extremely neatly and tied up with a high ancient crown.
"I have an obsession and don't want to leave!" the old man replied in a daze.
If he is willing to leave the human world, he will not go to the underworld for reincarnation. Instead, he will be picked up by his elders, the great supernatural powers who have transformed into disciples, and will be accepted as a true disciple and start a new life in the Holy Land.
A person like him with great knowledge is really so good that even the great supernatural powers can't help but stop being their disciples and reshape their bodies for them at great cost.
It can be said that as long as they are willing to leave this world, what awaits them is an extremely brilliant future. However, their obsession has not disappeared, and even though they know that the future is extremely bright, they are not willing to leave.
"Senior, what are your unfulfilled wishes?"
If there is an obsession in the heart, it means there is an unfulfilled wish, Jiang Chen asked curiously.
"We can't see the way forward, and we are unwilling to do so. Moreover, when the human race prospered, we did not contribute. When the human race declined, we were powerless and felt guilty, so we forcibly stayed in the world so that we could use our remains to serve the human race.
The last effort.”
The old man replied.
What he said was not just his thoughts, but the common thoughts of the remaining souls who were the same as him.
They were born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, during the last glory of the human race. At that time, they focused on studying and ignored worldly affairs. The glory of the human race had nothing to do with them.
Later, the human race declined, but they had learned nothing for many years and had to die at home, unable to use what they had learned to serve the human race.
Because of this, they feel guilty and feel that they have taken the wrong path. If they follow the path of immortality or martial arts, then when the human race declines, they will have enough power to protect the human race, instead of being as powerless as they are now.
Guilt turned into self-blame, making it difficult for them to let go of everything and go to the dojo of the great supernatural powers to practice hard.
"Senior, there is no need to be dissatisfied. After many years of argumentation, it has been determined that the system of the various schools of thought is a dead end. Even if you are as talented as a Confucian sage, you will not be able to take this road. In the end, you have to change your path. This shows how difficult this road is."
"As for guilt, seniors don't need to feel guilty. Now that Shinto is newly established, it is the time to employ people. Seniors can join Shinto to help me govern the human race and use what I have learned in my life to reverse the decline of the human race."
Hearing the old man's obsession, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up and he said quickly.
It's good to feel guilty. Feeling guilty because you can't serve the human race is easy to solve. As long as you join the Shinto, you can do your best for the human race to make up for the guilt you had during your lifetime.
"Shinto!"
The old man did not agree immediately, but was pondering. Then he saw that the innate spiritual light on his spiritual platform flashed rapidly, interweaving countless phantoms, as if he was deducing something.
It is also sad to say that these great scholars had no knowledge but no magical powers during their lifetime. But after death, they turned into souls and lost their bodies. This was really a drag on them. Their innate auras shined brightly, but in fact, they were equipped with all kinds of mysterious magical powers.
Just like shining the heaven and earth with spiritual light, you can know the world's affairs. Right now, the old man is deducing the divine way to see if this way can enhance the strength of the human race as Jiang Chen said before.
"Does Shinto integrate luck, merit, and the power of wishes into one? The power of one person is limited, but the power of many people is infinite. By integrating the power of many people into one person, we can gain the power to move mountains and fill seas."
"The Shinto is truly mysterious!"
Finally, the old man came back to his senses and couldn't help but admire. If a person with great supernatural powers from the immortal way comes to see the divine way, there will definitely be disdain in his eyes. He is too entangled with the world of mortals and cannot be detached. It really cannot be regarded as the right way.
From the perspective of the human race, this Shinto seems to be extremely good. After all, with the intention of strengthening the race, how many people can achieve true transcendence?
Even if you are cultivating immortals, you have to talk about how one person can achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and people should give up everything and just practice hard. This is obviously impossible.
Shinto, if it's a big one, can protect a clan and a country; if it's a small one, it can protect a family member, so it's most suitable for the people.
"It is really a great regret in life that I couldn't serve the human race during my lifetime. Now that I have the opportunity to serve the human race, how can I refuse it if I don't want it?"
"I also want to thank the King of Humans for giving me this opportunity."
After knowing the nature of Shinto, the old man no longer hesitated, bowed to Jiang Chen and agreed to join Shinto.
"Okay, with seniors helping us, why worry about the human race not being prosperous?"
Jiang Chen was also very happy. Who said that Shinto does not have high-level combat power? Isn't it true? Once an existence close to the innate Taoist can be canonized as a god, it will be a main god comparable to the innate Taoist.
"Senior, let's go to the Divine Courtyard first, and then I'll go see the other seniors!"
Although there are not many souls like the old man in front of him in Kyushu, there can be four or five. These people need to be invited by Jiang Chen personally. As for the remaining souls in the future, he only needs to send his avatar to go there.
…
…………
Persuading the remnant souls is not a difficult task. After all, who would want to die if they could live, and becoming a god would give them a chance to live another life.
In just one day, Jiang Chen met all the remaining souls in Kyushu, and most of them accepted his invitation and chose to join the Shinto.
As for the remaining half, they did not choose to join Shinto due to various reasons. This is normal. Even innate spiritual treasures cannot be liked by everyone, let alone Shinto.
"There are five remnant souls that can be canonized as main gods, a hundred remnant souls that can be canonized as Dharma gods, and there are ten thousand gods. They can almost hold up the shelf of Shinto."
Returning to the Ancestral Temple, Jiang Chen smiled as he thought of today's harvest.
The main god, whose strength corresponds to the innate Taoist.
The Dharma God's strength corresponds to that of the Innate Taoist Lord.
Gods, their strength corresponds to the levels from Celestial Immortal to Golden Immortal.
The three realms of Celestial Immortal, Xuan Immortal, and Golden Immortal were originally the same realm at the beginning, until the great rise of Immortal Dao, the realms were re-divided, and they were separated just now.
"The next step is to become a god!"
Jiang Chen thought with some excitement that enough people had been raised, and the next step was to become a god.
