Fang Jian said, "Erlang Zhenjun of Guanjiangkou."

"Erlang Shen!"

Jiao Shu's heart trembled. This God of War in Heaven had been famous in the three realms since her ancient times. He was an absolute "ancient idol".

"Yes, Erlang Shen," Fang Jian said, "Erlang Zhenjun once submitted a memorial to the Grand Envoy, requesting to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to attack the Xuanjiao, but this memorial has not yet received a response."

It wasn't a rejection, but a lack of response. No response meant there was a possibility. Thinking of this, Jiao Shu's eyes suddenly lit up. She was good at fighting.

Besides, isn't it more convenient to gain credit by fighting than to study the system every day?

Thinking of this, Jiao Shu immediately stood up and bowed to Fang Jian, saying, "Thank you, Master Hongqing, for your reminder. I am deeply grateful."

Fang Jian quickly stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "Tianshu Dulu, I'm sorry for the humiliation this humble official has suffered."

Half an hour later, Fang Jian left Tianshu Province. In addition to filling his stomach, this trip also made Jiao Shu owe him two favors.

When Fang Jian was personally escorted out of Tianshu Province by Jiao Shu and rode on the Third Prince out of the West Heaven Gate not far away, suddenly a mysterious golden light descended from the sky and flew directly into the three flowers of Fang Jian's soul.

Fang Jian was immediately shocked and said with surprise, "The merit has come."

This time the merit was not bestowed by the Jade Emperor, but was directly bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.

Fang Jian unified Buddhism in Xiniu Hezhou and ruled Xiniu Hezhou with a two-pronged approach of heavenly rules and Buddhist precepts. This was a great benefit to the sentient beings in Xiniu Hezhou.

Therefore, as long as the Heavenly Court records the achievements, the Heavenly Dao will sense it and bestow merits.

Of course, in this world, in addition to the merits bestowed by heaven, there are three other people who can bestow merits on all living beings on behalf of heaven.

The first person is the Jade Emperor, the second person is the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, and the third person is the Buddha Tathagata. These three people are also in charge of the merits, rewards and punishments of all living beings in the world.

Of course, they will also delegate the authority to reward and punish merits. For example, the Jade Emperor will delegate the authority to reward and punish merits to the underworld.

However, the authority to bestow merits on behalf of Heaven cannot be delegated. Only they themselves can hold it, and no one else has that ability.
