Li Ping'an closed the door to thank his guests, learned about Taoism and practiced Zen, and remained here peacefully.
It became extremely lively outside.
Li Dazhi was the first to make efforts to widely publicize the "Emperor of Heaven's expulsion of the innate gods and demons" in Dongzhou, Xizhou, the Kongmeng Realm and the areas covered by heavenly forces.
——Resisting the innate gods and demons is to expel foreign enemies and protect the ancient world. It is of far-reaching significance and must be promoted well.
However, just as Heavenly Court was conducting positive publicity, some rumors began to appear within the human race's sphere of influence.
The content of the rumor is simple:
[The ancient dragon world was destroyed by the innate gods and demons. The dragon clan wants to return to the main world and compete with the human race for the four continents. 】
The destructive power of this rumor is huge.
A large number of Qi Refiners left the main world and headed towards the direction where the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan were coming.
This rumor only spread for half a day, and the Heavenly Court posted notices in various cities on the East and West continents of the main world to refute the rumor.
[The dragon clan will not have a direct dispute with the human clan, they just want to return to the main world and settle down. 】
These notices had a clear backlash.
A large number of 'human radicals' came forward. They rushed to Dong'an City, to the entrance to the secret realm of Xuanyuan Palace and the entrance to the Notre Dame Palace. They raised their arms and shouted, 'Protect the land of the human race', criticizing the Heavenly Court for betraying the interests of the human race in order to win over the Dragon Clan.
On the surface, this situation quickly developed out of control.
The students of the Heavenly Academy in the Notre Dame Palace debated with these radicals. The young people were very angry and would fight if they disagreed.
Fortunately, several elders of the Zhuyun Sect passed by by chance and broke up the fight. No lives were lost, only two or three people were injured and some immortal blood was shed.
This incident alarmed all the old women in the Notre Dame Palace and spread the news in Dongzhou.
Several Xuanyuan ministers rushed out of Xuanyuan Palace;
A group of veteran heroes flew out of ASEAN;
These veterans went around putting out fires and preaching to the human race that the Dragon Clan had helped the Human Race and would not be enemies of the Human Race at this moment. The Dragon Clan just wanted a place to stay.
Not only did Lao Chen's efforts to put out the fire have no positive effect, it actually confirmed the Dragon Clan's intention to come and settle in the Lord's Heaven and Earth.
There is an invisible big hand behind this, using more than a dozen major cities as the engine of the rhythm of public opinion, constantly controlling the direction of public opinion.
Where have the ancient Qi practitioners ever experienced such a thing?
The direction of public opinion in various places soon became what the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to see...
"Now that Heaven wants to use the Dragon Clan, it will definitely show favor to the Dragon Clan. Although we can understand His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's painstaking efforts, if the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan return to dominate the world, will it still be our human race that has the final say over the world?"
"The martyrs of the human race overcame all obstacles and opened up such a prosperous age for us. If we can't even defend the heaven and earth, wouldn't we be ashamed of our ancestors!"
"The Dragon Clan is the ancient overlord, how can it be possible for it to be inferior to the Human Clan!"
"Is heaven still the heaven of our human race?"
That's roughly it.
However, on the fifth and sixth days, there was an uproar everywhere in the Great Desolate World. Although the Kongmeng Realm was still stable, rumors were spreading everywhere. Zi Yao and Wang Shan, who were in charge of internal affairs, were helpless.
Wang Shan and the others didn't know who was behind the scenes, adding fuel to the fire.
The instigator of this matter is currently sitting in the elegant room of the teahouse in Dong'an City, listening to the song, looking at Xiao Wu, and taking a sip of tea happily.
He was slightly chubby, dressed in a scarlet robe, his long hair was simply tied up, his fair face always had a cheerful smile, and there was a glint in his eyes from time to time.
Who is it if it’s not Li Dazhi?
Stirring the world and igniting the public opinion of the human race is part of the plan of their father and son.
There was a shadow swaying gently in the corner of the private room. A woman in black walked out quickly, held the back of the chair behind Li Dazhi, and said a few words.
Li Dazhi nodded, thought carefully for a while, and then asked in a voice:
"Are you sure? The aura of dragon clan fighting dragon?"
"It's certain," the woman whispered, "General Dapeng sensed that the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan are mortal enemies, and there will inevitably be various secret methods aimed at each other."
Li Dazhi nodded slightly, closed his eyes and thought for a while, tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers.
"Then proceed as planned and start the fourth step. If the news leaks, you know the consequences."
"If there are any mistakes, I will immolate my soul!"
The woman clasped her fists in salute, took two steps back, and hid herself in the corner.
Li Dazhi took a sip of tea and continued to listen to books and watch plays.
Their plan is actually not complicated.
If Heaven wants to subdue the Dragon Clan, it must use both kindness and power to put pressure on the Dragon Clan;
The dragon clan at this stage has just suffered from the invasion of innate gods and demons. The dragon clan has accumulated a lot of heavenly merits through previous work for the heaven, and heaven cannot directly punish these big karma owners.
Since the Dragon Clan has no pressure now, let’s create pressure for them.
Then there were rumors in various places, and there was a big fight in front of the Tiandi Academy.
All the arrangements Li Dazhi made were to make things worse and to use the human race's control over the main world to put pressure on the dragon clan.
In fact, when the Dragon Clan enters the main world, it only returns to the four seas and occupies the waters, while the human Qi Refiners rarely open caves in the waters, and there is no direct intersection between the two.
But now...there is intersection even if there is no intersection.
The dragon clan wants to return to the Lord's Heaven, and the human race is excited.
Li Dazhi learned that the Dragon Clan sent a war dragon to explore the "public opinion" of the human race, and immediately began to advance the next step of the plan.
In just half a day, dozens of large cities in Dongzhou, including Dong'an City, appeared with the theme of "Opposing the Dragon Clan's Invasion of Heaven"...
Procession of immortals.
This was the first large-scale parade in history.
The human Qigong practitioners shouted excitedly in the streets and flew through the air, causing chaos everywhere. The local inspection departments responded quickly and quickly sent out immortal soldiers to control the situation and maintain order.
Heaven took the initiative and sent a group of old immortals to explain everywhere that the Dragon Clan would not be in trouble with the Human Clan... Naturally, it had little effect.
The few war dragons who came here to investigate quickly transmitted the scene that happened in the main world back to the dragon clan's temporary base camp, those big water balls that were not too far away from the main world.
Everyone in the Dragon Clan was very nervous.
Although they are ancient overlords, this kind of scene, this kind of incident...
This was really their first experience.
There was a commotion here in the main world, and the big cloud boat Li Ping'an was riding was not far away from the big water polo that transported the Hai clan.
Li Ping'an seized the opportunity to end the retreat and summoned the immortals for a meeting. Then he began to sigh and sigh, seeming extremely embarrassed, and finally sighed:
"I can't let down the human race, and I don't want to let down the expectations of the dragon race, so what can I do!"
Of course this is also acting.
This sentence naturally reached the ears of the Dragon Clan smoothly.
The father and son, one of them, secretly used this trick, which was very new to the world, to put pressure on the Dragon Clan;
One expresses benevolence, righteousness, gentleness, and the magnanimity and tolerance of heaven.
Although some experts of the Dragon Clan smelled something not quite right, but due to the situation and the general trend, no one dared to say anything. They could only think about countermeasures and find ways to make the human race and heaven accept the Dragon Clan.
Soon, Ao Guang, who was injured, took Ying Long and several of the most senior dragon clan elders, brought enough gifts, and asked to see Li Ping'an.
The secret stalemate between Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan was thus broken.
The dragon clan bows its head, and the heavenly court wins a small victory.
The next frontal negotiation and how this matter ends are the top priority.
…
However, it was said that after the battle in Xuandu City, Kong Xuan left quietly with the masters of the Feng Clan without meeting the masters of the three religions.
Kong Xuan actually didn't like the three Taoist religions very much. In Kong Xuan's view, those self-respecting Chan Jiao Immortals and the Jie Jiao Immortals who harbored evil and evil practices were just lucky enough to have a good teacher.
The Phoenix Clan has a secret realm in the Sea of Chaos. The mountains and rivers in the secret realm are picturesque. The five-color divine light transforms the chaotic aura into the five elements of spiritual power, and raises a group of close relatives of the Phoenix Clan.
This secret realm also hides the entrance to the Immortal Volcano, which is not far from Xuandu City.
Kong Xuan brought the masters of the Feng Clan back to this place, took a short rest, and prepared to observe the changes in the ancient world.
Kong Xuan was extremely concerned about every move of the Dragon Clan.
The spies from the Feng Clan sent news that there was an uproar within the human race and they were opposed to the Dragon Clan's return to the main world... This made Kong Xuan feel happy for most of the day.
Unfortunately, he only laughed for a long time;
Just as Kong Xuan was thinking about how to spread some black information about the Dragon Clan to the Human Race, the Dapeng Bird hurriedly arrived at the Phoenix Clan's secret realm.
Dapeng Bird held a few boxes of Dong'an City's best-selling snacks in his left hand, and in his right hand he held two small boxes of elixirs refined by the top alchemists of the human race, and saluted Kong Xuan.
"Brother, this is a gift from Dazhixian, the Heavenly Emperor's father, the Immortal of the Ministry of Finance in Heaven, to you."
Kong Xuan snorted and said angrily: "Look at yourself in the mirror. Do you still look like the son of Shi Feng?"
The Dapeng was not annoyed when he heard this, it just smiled gently, its tall body exuding a warm light.
He put his hands together in a salute and said seriously:
"Brother, Father Heavenly Emperor would like to ask you to come forward and take the initiative to meet with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."
"oh?"
Kong Xuan frowned and looked at Dapeng, with some thoughts on his face that combined the beauty of femininity and masculinity:
"Why did they suddenly invite me over?"
"Because of the Dragon Clan's affairs," Dapeng said slowly, "Heaven wants to conquer the Dragon Clan, and the Emperor wants to put shackles on the Dragon Clan. We, the Phoenix Clan, need to come forward to put more pressure on the Dragon Clan."
Kong Xuan frowned and scolded: "Confused! If the Dragon Clan successfully returns to Heaven, wouldn't it be a disaster for our Phoenix Clan!"
But the Dapeng bird sighed: "In fact, the only people in the Phoenix clan are you and me...Brother, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven invited us to come together, and he also has the intention of recruiting us."
Kong Xuan snorted: "You can go back to heaven if you wish, but I don't want to be made like you by the way of heaven. You are ineffective and uneasy! You were so unruly and unruly before. Although you often caused me trouble, I
But I knew it was You. Now that you are standing in front of me, I don’t even know whether you are a roc or a tentacle of heaven!”
"Well," Dapeng still smiled warmly, "brother, why do you reject the way of heaven? The way of heaven sets restrictions on my soul, not to control me. The way of heaven is sexless and has no desires. It is just to make the world last forever.
.”
"Okay," Kong Xuan waved his hand, "Take the gift back, I won't go there."
"But brother," Dapengniao took out the trump card given by Li Dazhi, "If you don't go, if Heavenly Court reaches a contract with the Dragon Clan to eliminate the Phoenix Clan..."
Kong Xuan glared at Dapeng Bird angrily.
"Are you helping them plot against me?"
"Brother," Dapeng immediately bowed his head and knelt down, "I just want to ask you to come forward, for the sake of the Phoenix Clan, for the sake of Heaven, and for the sake of Wanling Plan!"
Kong Xuan's slender body was wrapped in a wide robe.
A long time passed.
Kong Xuan seemed to have suddenly aged tens of thousands of years. He took a gentle breath and whispered:
"Only this time, you don't have to come back to this secret realm again."
The Dapeng bird's body trembled a few times, but it just replied in a low voice: "Thank you, brother."
Kong Xuan stroked his sleeves, opened the secret formation, and led the roc to escape from the sea of chaos.
In the ancient world, the speed of the roc has reached the limit of the rules of the road;
But in the sea of chaos, Kong Xuan's escape speed is still higher than that of a roc, and while maintaining top speed, he doesn't have to worry about the loss of his own spiritual power, and he can use the chaos aura at his disposal.
A few hours later.
Kong Xuan and Dapeng appeared near the Dayunzhou where Li Ping'an was.
Dapeng found Yin Kui and Cai Lin who were waiting in the void, led by the two Heavenly Fury Guards, and learned that the leader of the Dragon Clan and Ying Long had just arrived here, and they had to wait for a while.
Kong Xuan wanted to walk away on the spot, but Dapengniao persuaded him to stop.
Kong Xuan scolded: "This Emperor of Heaven is really good at borrowing the phoenix to suppress the dragon, and the dragon to suppress the phoenix. Could it be that he wants to take advantage of both sides?"
King Yinkui smiled politely: "You have misunderstood. Your Majesty actually wants to promote the reconciliation between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, so that the Dragon Clan and the Feng Clan, the two great clans that once followed the Pangu God, can once again thrive in the world."
Kong Xuan frowned slightly.
King Cai Lin also said: "You may not believe it, but His Majesty did say this when chatting with us. He said... the combat power of the ancient world is far from enough. If dragons and phoenixes can prosper again, they can go out to hunt innate gods and demons.
, the origin of heaven and earth will continue to thicken.”
Kong Xuan was thoughtful and continued to wait.
King Yinkui on the side looked like he was listening and took out a bronze mirror from his sleeve.
He gently wiped the bronze mirror, surrounded by the power of heaven, a clear image appeared on the bronze mirror.
That is Yunzhou's main hall.
Li Ping'an sat in the middle, and the female slave, Hou Tu, sat beside him;
The human god general Feng Bo, the Rain Master, and the ASEAN leader Tianli are sitting behind several low tables on the left;
Ao Guang, the leader of the Dragon Clan, and the divine general Ying Long, the six senior dragons of the Dragon Clan, sit on the right.
Li Ping'an's warm voice floated out, with a somewhat embarrassed expression:
"...The human race is making a big fuss. Heaven's way is based on mortals, and heaven is dominated by human race. Please be considerate of the dragon race for everything here.
"The human race is actually just worried that the dragon clan may be disloyal in the future. After the dragon clan recuperates and regains its strength, it will enslave the human race just like it enslaved the sea clan."
Ao Guang said hurriedly: "The dragon clan really cannot bear such a crime! Now our clan just wants to find a place to settle down in the world. We will never dare to be enemies with the human clan, let alone have disobedience to the heaven!"
Li Ping'an pondered for a few times: "I can actually trust the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan has its own pride and glory, but now the public opinion within the human race is fierce. Senior Brother Xuanyuan is also quite troubled. Many human race immortal officials in the heaven have signed a letter... Please read
Just look."
Li Ping'an waved his hand, and a fairy on the side held up some memorials.
Ying Long frowned and looked at it for a few times, knowing that this was not a lie, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
Ying Long said: "Otherwise, my dragon clan will not go to dominate the world?"
Immediately, an old dragon shouted: "No! No! The Lord of Heaven and Earth is where the destiny of heaven and earth gathers, and it is also the only place where our race can reproduce! If it doesn't work, we old bones will kneel down to the race and beg them to give us a life."
A way out!"
"Eh!"
God General Yushi hurriedly said: "Elder, there is no need to be like this. The dragon clan and the human clan have a brotherly relationship."
Li Pingan immediately brought the topic back.
He said: "After thinking about it, there is actually only one way to win the trust of the human race and quell this commotion."
Ao Guang immediately said: "Your Majesty, please make it clear!"
"It's actually very simple," Li Ping'an said, "Let's make an alliance in public... Why not build momentum in advance in Dong'an City, let the human race cultivate loosely, and the elites gather here. On behalf of the Heavenly Court, I will accept the Dragon Clan and work with all the Dragon Clan members.
Make an oath to heaven."
Ao Guang's eyes were full of light, and he stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Then we will go back and prepare now!"
Li Pingan sighed secretly in his heart, is this an old dragon or an old fox?
He smiled and said: "Clan leader, don't be in a hurry. Today we will discuss the specific content of this oath. If the oath cannot be finalized, nothing can be done."
Several old dragons from the Dragon Clan looked at each other, with complicated expressions on their heads.
Ying Long saw the solemn atmosphere and said jokingly: "Your Majesty, you won't cheat our Dragon Clan, will you?"
"How could it be?" Li Pingan's smile was amiable, "I am a quasi-Celestial Emperor with a reputation for benevolence and righteousness."
After saying this, his soul crushed a piece of spiritual jade that was placed in the spiritual platform.
