Kong Hanan's smile was so profound and unfathomable that everyone was speechless.

In fact, Kong Hanan can explain the witch god, but he cannot explain the Taoist god.

Even Kong Hanan had doubts about the Taoist gods.

He came to see the Taoist Saint to ask him to answer his questions and resolve his doubts.

Shang Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It seems that the Heavenly Master is unwilling to answer. Then let me tell you my short-sighted opinion."

"God is the embodiment of the laws of Heaven, and is also the being that exercises power on behalf of Heaven."

“It is impossible for a human to become a god. Or rather, if a human becomes a god, he will no longer be a human.”

The li'er seemed to understand but not quite.

"What power?"

Shang Rong replied.

"The king governs the world on behalf of Heaven, ruling the people on behalf of the gods. If the king fails to carry out Heaven's will, he will be deposed by the gods. If the people disobey the king, they will be convicted and punished."

Li'er felt a little confused.

"Since the king is appointed by heaven to rule over the people, why is there an additional god in between? Why don't gods obey the king, but instead restrict the king?"

Shang Rong replied.

"Because gods have magical powers, but kings do not. Kings have to manage the country and the people, so they don't have time to practice."

Li'er seemed to understand.

"So, if I have great magical powers, I can manage the gods for the king?"

Maid Mei smiled.

"Sir, do you know how powerful the gods are? How can you possibly manage them? Learn from Master Shang carefully. Reviving the Song Kingdom is the most important thing."

Kong Hanan also laughed, but he didn't say anything.

Don’t laugh at the dreams of teenagers. Although they are absurd at times, they may be a height that adults cannot reach.

You may not know that hundreds of years later, this child really scared the gods.

Li'er frowned. He didn't know how powerful God was, so he just asked.

"The Four Imperial Guardians of Taoism can no longer be called human beings."

Shang Rong sighed.

"Hou Tu, originating from the worship of the earth by all living things, was originally a witch god. In order to build the earth, she exhausted her divine power and fell into a deep sleep. The Taoists were shameless and listed her as one of the Four Imperial Gods."

"Ziwei and Gouchen were originally star gods and were once members of the witch gods. However, they somehow colluded with the Taoist sect and pledged their allegiance to Nanji Changsheng, thus becoming the Four Imperial Gods."

Speaking of this, Shang Rong's expression was complicated.

"Nanji Changsheng was originally the ninth son of Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism. They conspired to take away some of my authority and also took away my life span after ten thousand years. Therefore, I know him best."

Shang Rong sighed and smiled with relief.

"He changed me from being a god to being a man, so he is no longer a man."

This is the secret of the ancient gods? Just say it like that?

Kong Hanan was startled and looked at Shang Rong, only to see him smiling and nodding at him.

Kong Hanan reacted.

These words came directly from the bottom of Kong Hanan's heart.

Transmit the message!

Shang Rong is not an ordinary old man.

Kong Hanan became more and more wary of him.

He knew in his heart that he entered the environment of Dao Sheng because he wanted to protect Dao Sheng and not let him be tortured by the cursing voices.

In the previous illusion, someone wanted to murder the Taoist Saint, and the same should be true in this illusion.

As for Shang Rong, although he doesn't seem to have any inclination in this regard, he is currently the most capable.

Look around again.

Maid Mei seemed to have heard nothing and her eyes were blank.

Li'er nodded as if he understood, not knowing what Shang Rong had conveyed to him.

Kong Hanan became wary of Shang Rong.

But Shang Rong spoke and continued his lecture.

"In all worldly affairs, harmony is the most precious."

"Disharmony leads to war, war leads to mutual destruction, destruction leads to mutual injury, and injury leads to harm rather than benefit."

Li'er continued with his hundred thousand whys.

"Disharmony and war under heaven are a great calamity to the people. Why doesn't the king intervene?"

Shang Rong explained.

"Disputes between ordinary people are minor disasters, within the realm of the king. But war between two countries is a calamity within the world, a major disaster. The king is unable to manage it, and it is his fault, and the gods should punish him."

Li'er's questions just couldn't stop.

"My Song State was destroyed, but why haven't we heard of the gods punishing the king? Why haven't we seen the gods descend to the world to resolve the conflict?"

Shang Rong sighed and said in a complicated tone.

"You'll understand when you grow up. That's all I'll teach you today."

Shang Rong looked somewhat bored and seemed to have aged a lot. Without giving Li'er another chance to ask questions, he disappeared from the room.

In fact, Kong Hanan understood.

According to Shang Rong's theory, in this world, there seems to be a god behind every country.

Therefore, the struggle among the princes in this world has lasted for so long without any unification.

The destroyed State of Song had been abandoned by God.

Or, the patron saint of Song State can no longer protect Song State.

Why did Shang Rong, the former supreme god, Donghuang Taiyi, take Shang as his surname?

Although there is no clear record in this world, Kong Hanan can remember that in his previous life, when the Shang and Zhou dynasties changed, there was a famous myth - "The Investiture of the Gods".

Yuanshi and Taishang made a fortune by taking advantage of the war between Shang and Zhou.

Of course, this world is not the world of his previous life.

But what if in this world's war between Shang and Zhou, the Taoist sect also gained benefits from this?

Part of Donghuang Taiyi's authority was taken away by Nanji Changsheng, and Nanji Changsheng Emperor was promoted to one of the Four Emperors.

So, as one of the Three Pure Ones, did Yuanshi Tianzun seize more?

Shang Rong was once the patron saint of the Shang Dynasty, but was eventually defeated and could only protect the State of Song.
