In addition to Xu Zhengyang’s position, the only remaining gods in Xiao Xu’s Second Realm!, among the Dan and “Tian”, is there any so-called providence in the underworld?
After all, a long time ago, when those first gods existed, they would eventually either turn into spiritual energy and spread throughout the universe, becoming a force of darkness; or they would rush to the endless universe to find new ones.
Wherever the energy of life exists, it can achieve the purpose of eternal existence. (..)
To put it harshly, it's a bit of a fugitive.
Xu Zhengyang was very annoyed now, and he was very suspicious that there might really be such a divine spirit somewhere, and that the so-called destiny was hindering his progress.
There are already countless loopholes in the rules of heaven that control the destiny of mankind, and they cannot be completely perfect. Only after a god has just punished the fate of a person or thing, will the rules of heaven impose changes and controls. That is, Xu Zhengyang once said
When you are a judge, you can give people the authority and ability to move numbers.
Is the ear his god?
The divine weapon Tian Tiao will not secretly cause trouble for Xu Zhengyang now; Jiuzhou Lu is even less likely to do so.
So now,
Alas, this is life!
Xu Zhengyang could only accept his bad luck.
As a god, he has never been so troubled.
Because of the outbreak of the "Tao Xian Gong" cult incident, Xu Zhengyang was promoted to the title of Siyu Xingjun. He also used his own selfishness to force Jiuzhoulu and Tiantiao to recognize him as the temporary emperor of Dongfang Cangtianting. After returning from the capital,
, in order to speed up the complete eradication of the existence of Taoist Immortal Kung, Xu Zhengyang even relied on Gou Chen Xingjun's authority to convene a state government meeting and redeploy state government agencies across the country.
As one of the Four Star Lords, and with the temporary title of Emperor, he no longer has to travel back and forth to build palaces in various places.
All you need to do is draw a circle on the map transformed from Jiuzhou Lu with a wave of the ink pen.
Yes, the city has abandoned the institution!
All that's left is to arrange for officials to come and serve as officials.
It was so simple and easy, so of course Xu Zhengyang couldn't stop splashing ink to build the city palace. First of all, he established city border mansions all over the country. Li Haidong sat in charge and held the city scroll, so he could remotely command various places and expand the ghost team. In this way
Come, things will be easier to solve.
In addition, in countries located within the jurisdiction of Dongfang Cangtianting, city government agencies must also be established.
However, due to the lack of divine power, it is not as good as it can be, so it can be done slowly.
However, just when Xu Zhengyang was fully rolling out the Chenglong Mansion agency network, something unexpected happened.
In the later period of the "Tao Xian Gong" incident, because ghost agents and state officials were involved, they severely cracked down on the investigation and cooperated with the government to make a series of publicity, revealing that the Tao Xian Gong cult organization deceived people, defrauded people of money, and suffered victims.
The truth about overseas remote control command causing harm to the country and the people has also shattered the so-called hope of belief in gods among the people, making them realize that there is actually no god in this world, and there is no need to hope for anything.
Thus,
Famine broke out in the newly built state and city mansions.
The people who were originally deceived by "Taoist Immortal Kung Fu" have woken up and no longer believe in it; and the people who had never believed in Taoist Immortal Kung Fu, but only believed in the existence of gods in the dark, no longer believe in it; what's more,
Even people who have personally experienced some strange events, as well as people with other religious beliefs, have also lost most of their belief in the existence of gods.
At first, Xu Zhengyang was not aware of the danger of running out of food.
When the supply of divine power was insufficient, he thought it was just because of the disappearance of Daoxiangong believers and the expansion of the number of institutions in the city, which required too much divine power, resulting in a shortage of divine power. It didn't matter, slowly with the new
More and more city government agencies are operating normally, and they are still as popular and popular as before.
However, when Jiuzhou Lu clearly reminded him that the number of believers had rarely declined in recent years, Xu Zhengyang suddenly woke up.
Isn’t this taking the heat out of the cauldron?
Who did it?
Xu Zhengyang was furious and immediately contacted Tian Tiao and asked: "What the hell are you doing? Without enough faith to transform and maintain, let alone repair the broken Tian Tiao, can you break Tian Tiao?
It’s not certain that it can continue to exist,”
Tian Tiao's reply was very rigid: there is no such thing as ghosts. Human beings are the masters of all spirits and the only ones who create spiritual energy. They have the right to choose whether to believe in it or not.
Jiuzhou Lu also comforted him: this matter indeed has nothing to do with Tian Tiao.
Xu Zhengyang is bored! But he could not tell anyone this news, so he privately ordered Jiuzhou Lu to start investigating the areas under the jurisdiction of each city government, especially the earliest Chenglong Mansion territories. How many believers had been reduced?
The result left Xu Zhengyang dumbfounded, with a reduction of more than 60%.
How is this going?
Xu Zhengyang immediately ordered Ouyang Ying to lead a group of ghost missions to visit and investigate. After getting the relevant information, he and Li Bingjie jointly analyzed the reasons. At the same time, Li Bingjie also began to browse some related information on the Internet, comprehensively analyzing all aspects
circumstances to make a judgment.
The reason given by Xu Zhengyang for such an order and arrangement was that it was necessary to understand it from many aspects so that when doing something in the future, mistakes that would be harmful to ordinary people would not occur.
Of course he refused to tell anyone the real reason.
The reason why Ouyang Ying and Li Bingjie are asked to do this is because Li Haidong has already led several key members to go to foreign lands, lavishly consuming Xu Zhengyang's already somewhat depleted and in short supply of magical power to perform "Tao Immortal Techniques"
Foreign forces and the mastermind behind the scenes conducted a detailed investigation... Xun Jiang and several other ghost agents asked them to do such things, one by one, Jiang Wandou, Ouyang Ying and Li Bingjie were found out.
The results of the investigation and analysis came out quickly:
In today's large-scale environment where atheism has penetrated for decades and has been completely dominant for a long time, the originally unstable group of theists has been affected by the fact that the "Tao Xian Gong" cult organization was destroyed and various aspects of propaganda.
This makes people doubt the existence of gods, or simply give up.
Aren’t people still living under atheism for so many years?
Moreover, with the rapid development and changes of science and technology, each unsolved mystery has been solved by science.
People think about it carefully, living a good life is better than anything else, what is the point of believing in gods?
Let me put you in the most realistic words: Can the gods send money to your family?
Xu Zhengyang’s head has grown twice as big.
To say that you don’t regret it is pure nonsense. If you say that you regret it, you must produce the Taoist Immortal Skill. Regarding this incident, the indirect responsibility is definitely related to him, so who can you blame?
If it weren't for the fact that after becoming a god, he was too eager for quick success, constantly acting chivalrously, and meddling in other people's business. He also used ghosts to show miracles everywhere, forcing the people to have faith in the gods in a disguised form, and thus blindly
The pursuit of faith has led some people with ulterior motives to see opportunities. Will they end up in this situation today?
In a few years, he continued to be promoted, expanded his territory, and triumphantly rose to the top, soaring all the way.
The city's government agencies are developing rapidly. Except for the necessary acting clergy officials, there are not many arrangements. There are a lot of ghosts. Whatever you want to do, you can do it with ease and have nothing to fear!
Even among the leaders of today's countries, he, Xu Zhengyang, dared to challenge him and show off in front of him.
How majestic and unrestrained?
Now that I think about it, if we develop steadily and properly, and let the people gradually, through some random events, spontaneously believe that there is God's will in the dark, and there is a god at the top of their head, we will not have ended up like now.
situation.
Why did you say it?
The steps he took were too long, and he really grabbed his balls.
Xu Zhengyang has a big head, and it really hurts his balls.
What should I do about this? How can I realize my grand ideal of laying out the heaven?
Is it possible that we should still only care about our own narrow-minded nature as before, let ghosts run rampant everywhere, intimidate and force people to believe in the existence of gods, and thus gain sufficient power of belief?
If Xu Zhengyang can't do it, his conscience will be condemned.
And what should we do if something unexpected happens again?
Or, go abroad and cause trouble without restraint?
That's not okay. After all, no matter how unbridled and noisy you are, you still want to do good things, not to do the legend of evil gods. If you really go outside to do good things, wouldn't it mean that the fat is flowing to outsiders?
?
No, no, I am a god, and all mortals in the world are treated equally as one of my own.
gay,
This is all life!
At this time, it was already mid-May of the eighth year of the New Divine Calendar.
Xu Zhengyang told his family that there was nothing special and they should not disturb him. Then he locked himself in the room and did not go out for two days and two nights.
He carefully sorted out every step he had experienced in these years from beginning to end. Every time he experienced big or small things, he had to try to think about whether it would have been better if he had solved it in a different way.
Would it be better?.
So he came to the answer. He was indeed naive and impulsive.
Through the Jiuzhou Record, Xu Zhengyang felt heartbroken when he saw all the skinny and listless ghost servants who were exhausted due to insufficient supply of divine power. There was no other way, he needed divine power to supply himself, as well as those important subordinates who went to foreign lands.
As well as the subordinate relatives who currently have acting priests, Chen Chaojiang, Li Bingjie, Ouyang Ying, and the family's baby Xu Xiaotian; it is also necessary to make the city government agencies at all levels operate normally; in addition to these, part of the artifact Tiantiao needs to be captured.
Divine power to provide it with the ability to slowly self-repair the damaged heaven.
In order to ensure that his divine power was sufficient, and to ensure that he would not gradually become a god in name only due to the depletion of his divine power, Xu Zhengyang had to make an extremely heroic decision and cut off his wrists!
He decided to make major adjustments to the current state and local government agencies!
First of all, the existing national Chenglongfu organizations were abolished. In addition to retaining the three Chengbifus, namely Jingcheng, Zhonghai and Shancheng, which have the jurisdiction of Dubifu, and changing them to Dubifu, other local cities
All government agencies were abolished, and six state government agencies were established to carry out large-scale unified operation and management.
Secondly, we will also make significant cuts to the existing ghosts.
After making this decision, he immediately notified Li Haidong and waited for him to leave the screen, and quickly rushed back to the country to prepare for an important meeting.
After coming out of the study, Xu Zhengyang walked downstairs. The family had just finished dinner and his parents were teasing Xu Xiaotian in the living room while watching TV and chatting.
Li Bingjie, on the other hand, went back to the bedroom and continued to help Xu Zhengyang collect relevant information and analyze some things for him.
Yuan Suqin saw her son coming out and said with concern: "Zhengyang, are you hungry? Mom will make you something to eat."
"Oh, no need." Xu Zhengyang shook his head with a smile, touched the forehead of Xu Xiaotian who ran up to him to please him, gently asked him to continue playing, and then asked: "Where is Bingjie?"
"Go back to the house." Yuan Suqin said.
"Oh, I'll go over and see her first." Xu Zhengyang nodded. Then he turned around and returned to the second floor.
Gently pushing Yishi aside, Li Bingjie, who was sitting in front of the computer, turned her head and said with a surprised smile: "Zhengyang, are you feeling better?"
"Yes, Xu Zhengyang responded, walked over, pulled up a chair and sat in front of his wife.
Now the only person who knows Xu Zhengyang best is Li Bingjie.
Although she didn't understand the reason why Xu Zhengyang was thinking behind closed doors this time, Li Bingjie still sensed the setbacks Xu Zhengyang had encountered. However, Li Bingjie would not ask if Xu Zhengyang didn't say anything. She had always been like this. So when she saw Xu Zhengyang coming, Li Bingjie
The first thing I said was to ask him, are you feeling better?
After chatting for a while about what happened at home in the past two days, Xu Zhengyang saw the clear moonlight shining through the window and suggested going out for a walk.
Li Bingjie nodded without any hesitation, got up and walked out with Xu Zhengyang.
It's past eight o'clock in the evening.
Outside, the moonlight was as frosty as if it were clinging to the ground; the bright moon was shining brightly in the night sky, making countless stars hide in shame behind the heavy night curtain. Only a few stars far away from the moon were blinking indistinctly.
Follow the gravel road of the villa and walk towards the mountains behind the villa.
In early summer, the mountain breeze here is still cool and quite comfortable.
There was the sound of insects chirping in the woods, and the stone path was filled with dappled moonlight falling through the dense branches and leaves.
In this environment, no matter how agitated your mind is, it will be infected and your mind will gradually calm down.
Li Bingjie held Xu Zhengyang's arm, tilted her head slightly and leaned on Xu Zhengyang's shoulder. Without saying a word, she silently comforted Xu Zhengyang's irritable mood after suffering a setback.
Xu Zhengyang also said little and walked slowly.
"People are very contradictory." Xu Zhengyang suddenly sighed softly and said this.
"Well, Li Bingjie agreed, and then said softly: "So you don't have to be too compassionate and hurt your own heart.
"Maybe." Xu Zhengyang smiled, thinking that there are some things in his heart that even you, Bing Jie, cannot know. How can I be truly compassionate and want to be a completely good person? In fact, to a large extent, Xu Zhengyang's mind is...
In fact, it is not as open-minded and open-minded as many ordinary people in the world.
It's just that on the basis of not doing bad things, with an ordinary kind heart and a little bit of selfishness, he did so many things for others and himself, and took so much care.
.
Xu Zhengyang smiled and asked: "What have you been thinking about these two days? Tell me.
"Yeah." Li Bingjie nodded, pulled Xu Zhengyang to sit on a bench in the darkness, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you. You have done so many things, and you want to avoid being famous, but also to make people feel awe.
, you believe in the existence of gods, but you are already famous."
"Not to mention this, Xu Zhengyang interrupted Li Bingjie with a wry smile.
Xu Zhengyang is of course famous now, not to mention that the intelligence agencies of various countries have already known about this weird and dangerous guy. Simply speaking, after his impassioned speech in the capital that day, the media of various countries caught him in the act.
How could he not be famous? But it doesn't matter. Most ordinary people are forgetful. After a while, when the news caused by this incident fades away, people will naturally forget about him.
Who would have nothing to eat and remember him every day as a person who only showed up once and stole the show?
If this is possible, then those big-name celebrities will not be tempted to create scandals to attract attention.
Li Bingjie thought for a while and then continued: "You also said that people are very contradictory. Many times they hope for the existence of gods to uphold justice and morality; but when it is their turn, they most likely hope that there are no gods.
Because no one wants to be transparent. Everyone has their own secrets, whether they are good or bad, right?"
Xu Zhengyang nodded, smiled and said nothing. In fact, what he said was a bit like nonsense.
"Actually, there is no need to intervene in everything, otherwise people's lives will be too restricted. You should always think more about others." Li Bingjie leaned gently on Li Bingjie's shoulder, raising her head through the narrow gap between the lush branches and leaves.
, looking for the bright moonlight, and said softly: "In this world, there are still many things that you are not accustomed to, and social customs that you are not accustomed to, do you have to deal with them? In that case, isn't it too much?
Too selfish?" "Yes, Xu Zhengyang smiled and nodded.
"Actually, people suddenly gave up their belief in the existence of gods, not just because of that incident." Li Bingjie sighed and said: "In the final analysis, it is because of a trace of resistance to gods deep in people's hearts."
Xu Zhengyang was silent.
Li Bingjie stopped talking and felt a little uneasy in her heart, fearing that Zi Gong's in-depth analysis would make Xu Zhengyang's mood even worse.
After a while, Xu Zhengyang said with a smile: "Chengyin Mansion agencies will be abolished and streamlined, and most of the ghost errands will also be eliminated.
"Oh, Li Bingjie looked at Xu Zhengyang's thin face in surprise.
"Perhaps in the near future, all ghost missions will be cancelled, leaving only a few gods." Xu Zhengyang stood up with his wife in his arms and continued walking up the mountain, saying at the same time: "Leave it alone if you shouldn't care about it.
Li Bingjie nodded, but she was thinking in her heart that she would try her best to help her husband analyze what should be taken care of and what should not be taken care of.
