1347: 914 Nine Heavens Great Emperor_2 1347: 914 Nine Heavens Great Emperor_2 Those with kind hearts who obtained power were able to help more people.
Yet those with malicious hearts who obtained power caused destruction far greater than before.
Like the local ruffians who, prior to awakening their bloodline due to limited abilities, could not commit major evils and were only capable of petty theft and extortion.
But now, with the awakening of their bloodlines, these scoundrels suddenly possessed great power.
The evil thoughts suppressed in their hearts were unleashed — small thefts and extortion could no longer satisfy them, and they began to progress toward bullying and abusing others, committing rape and pillaging.
The stronger their power, the greater their capacity for evil.
Compared to monsters, these evil n were worse, because while monsters rely consud humans, these n made lives worse than death.
“Alas!”
“Changing the world is easy, changing the human heart is difficult.”
Witnessing all this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
For him, even reshaping heaven and earth was not as difficult as guiding all beings towards goodness.
This was also why, throughout the ages, Human Kings believed that the grand wish of turning everyone into dragons was unattainable.
Making everyone gentleman-like, possessing traits of justice, kindness, benevolence, and courage was practically an impossible task.
Pioneering the sky and earth was not as hard as changing human hearts.
Thinking this, Jiang Chen took action, slaying those who committed evil one by one.
There were too many wicked people in the world, and although he was a Human King and couldn’t manage them all, he could not ignore them since he had seen them.
What grand sche mattered at this mont?
Seeing evildoers and not slaying them, what was the aning of his cultivation?
Whether it was called acting on impulse or being willful, it did not matter.
He was young, and he was not only the Human King but also the Star Lord.
He had the right to be impulsive and willful, and who could control him?
After slaying these people, Jiang Chen also struck down those harmful monsters one by one, turning their bodies into primordial energy that returned to Heaven and Earth, nourishing new life.
Having done this, Jiang Chen’s thoughts stirred, and he suddenly split into millions of avatars, simultaneously heading to different parts of Nine States.
At the sa ti, the ti in Nine States that Jiang Chen had suspended suddenly resud its flow, and the scenes previously frozen in place began to move again.
Yet, at this very mont, sothing astonishing occurred.
In so unnad small city, a ruffian who was about to assault a woman suddenly lost his breath.
His body was struck by thunder and turned into ash.
The bully forcing a good woman into prostitution was smirking when suddenly thunder burst forth and obliterated him into ash.
The murderer, the adulterers conspiring together, those who deceitfully took others’ lifesaving money…
At the sa ti, evildoers and man-eating monsters everywhere were struck and killed by thunder.
The people around, after a mont of stunned silence, knelt on the ground, ceaselessly kowtowing and crying out that gods had manifested, gods had manifested.
At that mont, Jiang Chen sensed sothing and connected with his divine statues, those spread across the lands of Nine States and in the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor statues.
The next mont, the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor manifested and spoke with a grand voice over the lands of the Nine States Continent:
“I am the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor, Jiang Chen, administering the laws of Heaven and Earth on their behalf.
Should anyone commit evil acts, all may call upon my divine na, and I myself will appear to administer justice, judging sins with thunder.”
“Furthermore, soon under my rule, thousands of gods will be born.
There will be a city god in every city, a land god in every village, a mountain god in the mountains, and a water god in the waters.”
“If you encounter injustice, go and plea to the mountain gods, water gods, or land gods for justice.”
Jiang Chen’s voice resounded over the entire Nine States in an instant, directly echoing in everyone’s heart, and whether human or monster, all could clearly hear it.
“Emperor Lord is benevolent, we thank thee Emperor Lord.”
“Emperor Lord is benevolent, we thank thee Emperor Lord.”
“Emperor Lord is benevolent, we thank thee Emperor Lord.”
…
Living beings upon hearing these words had no choice but to kneel down on the ground and continuously offer their worship to Jiang Chen.
During these tis of great chaos in the world, they desperately needed a god like Jiang Chen to appear, to protect them and to uphold justice on their behalf.
Even a stranger god appearing at this ti to uphold justice for the people could win their worship, let alone Jiang Chen, with whom they were quite familiar.
Speaking of the Nine Heavens Emperor, the god with the most flourishing incense in all Nine States, it definitely had to be the Nine Heavens God Emperor.
He was the official god worshiped by the Great Han, whose incense was even more exalted than that offered to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and other worthies.
At that ti it was the Han Dynasty.
Daoism was newly established, and Buddhism had not yet spread eastward.
The gods worshiped by the world were mostly predecessors of the Human Race, not the gods like the Sanqing, gods of the Heaven Court, or Buddhist bodhisattvas.
Jiang Chen was determined to beco the Human King, how could he not make early arrangents?
Hundreds of years earlier, he had made many setups throughout the Nine States.
One such arrangent was the Yuelai Inn, whose influence spread across all parts of the Nine States, and it could be called the number one intelligence organization in the Nine States.
Another was the Nine Heavens Palace.
Back when Jiang Chen was still the Demon Suppression Heavenly God, he began making arrangents in the Nine States, publicizing his achievents to make a na for himself.
He largely had to thank his friend Huo Qubing, whom he t among the Xiongnu years ago.
With Huo Qubing’s help, he beca a deity of the Great Han.
Including the emperor himself, civil and military officials, and all the civilians throughout the nation, everyone had to worship him every year, making him famous across the entire Nine States Continent in the shortest ti.
Later, Jiang Chen even rose to beco the Nine Heavens God Emperor, demonstrating divine miracles throughout the Nine States, transforming his temple of the Demon Suppression Heavenly God into the Shenxiao Palace.
At first, the citizens were still half-doubtful about the Demon Suppression Heavenly God, but once Jiang Chen demonstrated such divine miracles, they imdiately believed without a doubt.
For hundreds of years, Jiang Chen sporadically demonstrated divine miracles in the Nine States to expand his influence.
Persistence rewarded the dedicated and he beca the god with the most flourishing incense in the Nine States.
Though Jiang Chen’s power was not as great as that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, this kind of faith isn’t necessarily closely related to power.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors hadn’t shown any divine miracles for millions of years, how could they compare to a god like Jiang Chen who frequently showed miracles?
Faith, the kind associated with incense, needs to be actively maintained by gods.
If you don’t appear for a long ti, even the most stable faith might collapse.
This was why Jiang Chen believed that Huang Jiao couldn’t defeat him.
Huang had only developed the Yellow Heaven Dao recently, while Jiang Chen had been diligently preparing for this day for hundreds of years, deeply rooting his faith in the hearts of the people.
Thus, at this mont Jiang Chen’s appearance could be said to have captured the hearts of the whole world.
Looking around, within the Nine States, countless civilians were once more highly praising the na of the Nine Heavens God Emperor.
Even many of the Yellow Turbans Army were calling out the na of the Nine Heavens God Emperor, thanking him for his grace.
This was the Nine Heavens God Emperor after all – not an exaggeration to say, quite a number of civilians had grown up listening to Jiang Chen’s legends, naturally having a deep instinctual trust in him.
How could this newly risen Yellow Turbans Army compare?
Previously, Jiang Chen didn’t speak up, but now speaking as the Nine Heavens God Emperor, he imdiately won over the hearts of most of the people across the world.
…
“Not good!”
At the Yellow Heaven Dao’s headquarters, just after Huang Jiao had finished teaching his followers and was yet to rest, he heard Jiang Chen’s booming voice.
Then, he imdiately realized sothing was wrong.
What a person he was – a reincarnation of a master at Great Perfection Level of Quasi-Saint, even though he was without his forr powers, his state of mind hadn’t diminished.
In a flicker of thought, he understood Jiang Chen’s sche.
In terms of faith, how could his Yellow Heaven Dao, barely developed for a few decades, compete with the Nine Heavens Great Emperor, who had enjoyed national worship for hundreds of years?
The na of the Nine Heavens Great Emperor, through hundreds of years of Jiang Chen’s indoctrination, had already taken root in people’s hearts, almost becoming a culture, a spirit like that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Competing with him was nothing but a futile effort?
“Master, what should we do now?”
Among Huang Jiao’s disciples, there were no lack of astute ones who saw through Jiang Chen’s plan, and while their expressions drastically changed, they couldn’t help but ask Huang Jiao.
Now they were tied to Huang Jiao and the Yellow Heaven Dao; if the Yellow Heaven Dao was dood, they could hardly expect a good outco for themselves, they couldn’t help but panic.
