Chapter 560 The Correct Way to Open Luck and Merit
"Disciple Jiang Rong recommended himself to take the position of the Lord of the Luck and Merit Hall three hundred years ago. According to the order of our Master, this hall is responsible for supervising the increase and decrease of the luck of all races in the world, and the merits of all living beings."
"This power and responsibility was originally managed by the Heavenly Dao. I am worried about this and think that no matter how hard we try, we can never compete with the Heavenly Dao in this matter. Or, no matter how hard we try, we can never escape the supervision of the Heavenly Dao. This would be a waste of manpower and resources."
"But, since Master has issued this order, there must be a deeper reason. I am terrified and cannot speculate, nor can I neglect this matter. Therefore, I have boldly decided to change the nature of the Fortune Hall and change the way the Heavenly Dao monitors fortune and merit."
Jiang Rong, who is tall, has a head full of white hair and looks as mighty as a lion, reported in a deep voice in the meeting hall. He is also the only one among the Nine Palaces who has made earth-shaking reforms to the rules inherited from the Heavenly Dao. The result is still unknown, but his courage is truly unmatched.
Listening to Jiang Rong talking in the meeting hall, Zhang Yang looked calm and patient. This world was his base, so there were some things that could not be avoided, and could not be solved with just a few words.
Just like this Hall of Fortune and Merit, it seems to have nothing to do with cultivation, and is less important than the affairs of other halls, but in fact it is very important.
Because this involves the most core thing in the world, that is, is this world a game, a hunting ground, or the most solid foundation? Are the birth, aging, illness and death of mortals as insignificant as grass? Does the rise and fall of mortal villages, towns, and even kingdoms depend on the thoughts of the players? Are birds, beasts, insects, plants and trees really just dispensable decorations?
If you just want to treat it as a game, then you can do whatever you want without any scruples. If you mess up, you can just start over.
If you want to use this place as a hunting ground, then you can naturally enjoy watching countless creatures die in countless ways.
But if it is the latter, then we must pay attention to all the movements of every living being in this world, not just mortals.
All things are born from the sky and nurtured by the earth. In fact, all living things have an invisible, weak connection with this world since their appearance.
Why do we say that the Way of Heaven is ruthless yet full of love? Because the Way of Heaven is created by heaven and earth, and the connection between all living things in heaven and earth and the Way of Heaven is extremely deep.
Therefore, the responsibility of managing luck and merit is really too great.
If you do nothing and don't care about anything, letting all things in the world kill each other and eventually survival of the fittest occurs, this is indeed a feasible method, but it is too extreme.
Because this is equivalent to delegating the authority of luck and merit to all things and races in the world. Then, if I kill you, I can take your luck and merit. If I destroy your race, I can take even more luck and merit.
I'm sorry, although it's called inaction, this is actually the cruelest form of Gu breeding.
Aren't you afraid that the situation will get out of control in the end, and the ultimate strongest Gu that is raised will overturn the table of heaven and earth? Don't think that all living things have no way to destroy the ability to give birth to their own world! So doing nothing is not advisable.
But in the same way, it is not okay to favor a certain type or race of creatures. For example, if you favor the human race and give all the great fortune and merits of heaven and earth to the human race, then mortals will prosper, dynasties will change, productivity will double, and finally the Industrial Revolution will occur. That would not be fun.
If this gave rise to mechanical zombies, or some unexplainable reasons, then being forced to be reduced to the fifth sequence would be a huge joke.
Therefore, luck must be rotated and merits must be renewed.
This is one time, and that is another time.
If you understand this sentence in a popular sense, don't think that the golden body of merit is omnipotent. This thing will continue to be updated with the luck of heaven and earth.
Today your luck is with the human race, so you can get merits from them. But tomorrow your luck is with the demon race, then the merits of the human race will automatically return to zero.
This concept should be the core idea of the Hall of Fortune and Merit.
Zhang Yang sighed softly and looked at Jiang Rong who had finished his long speech. He thought that this guy was capable, but his level of thinking was a little low.
The Hall of Fortune and Merit, which he is in charge of, is obviously biased towards the human race. Isn't this natural for a human being?
However, the position of your buttocks determines the direction of your head.
"Jiang Rong, you can go to Daoyun Hall and be the deputy hall master. I didn't explain the matter of luck and merit clearly in advance, so it's not your fault. From now on, I will personally serve as the hall master of the Luck and Merit Hall. Go on."
Zhang Yang's words were very light, but they made the atmosphere in the entire meeting hall become very cold and unpredictable. Everyone was shocked by the result, because Jiang Rong had really worked very hard in the past three hundred years. It could be said that he was the hardest working one among the nine palaces. He had really carried out reforms from macro to micro, and now he had been punished.
But the unfathomable power of Zhang Yang, the funny master, made them dare not complain.
This was a very frightening thing for them. In theory, the fighting ability of this funny master should be very weak, but as long as they had the slightest thought of rebellion, they would immediately feel terrified and as if a disaster was about to happen, including Qu Shang, the strongest one.
The reason why she and Tao Yao tried so hard to bring Tiandao Xiaoniang together was actually to test Zhang Yang's strengths and weaknesses.
"Yes, disciple obeys your command."
Jiang Rong had a resolute expression on his face. He did not retreat with any dissatisfaction, nor did he dare to.
"Disciple Li Guohuai pays homage to Master."
Soon, it was Li Guohuai's turn to step forward. He also looked cautious and nervous.
"speak."
"Yes, Master. Three hundred years ago, I volunteered to lead the Tianshu Palace. Following Master's order, this Tianshu Palace is responsible for the defense, patrol, guard, and optimization of the thirty-five layers of the heaven and earth barrier."
"Since I took office, I have not dared to slack off for three hundred years. I personally led three thousand Tianshu elders and thirty thousand Tianshu disciples, and even requested manpower support from other halls, intending to optimize and improve the heaven and earth barrier. However, I am stupid. I have spent three hundred years and countless resources, but I have not been able to complete the optimization of the heaven and earth barrier. I am guilty and voluntarily resigned from the position of hall master. I only hope to continue to stay in Tianshu Hall to optimize and improve the heaven and earth barrier. I will not rest until this is accomplished!"
Li Guohuai knelt down with a plop. His posture was very humble, but his attitude towards work was very high. He was a smart man.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Get up, you have great ambitions. The Heavenly Dao barrier is a long river of time. It is the most mainstream barrier among the six major sequences. It has undergone countless improvements to form its current state. How can you improve and optimize it in just three hundred years?"
"Don't give up, continue to be your hall master, and continue to optimize and improve. Resources should be given priority. As for time, there is no limit. As long as you are really serious about your work, I will see it. Okay, the other halls don't need to report. Next, I will treat everyone to a wedding banquet."
