To some extent, the ability to exorcise gods is the highest level of magical power that Shen Yuan possesses now.
Even the incomplete Tiangang supernatural power of calling the wind and rain is not as good as the supernatural power of driving away gods.
This is not because the rain-calling power is not powerful. Whether from the gap between the Tiangang power and the Disha power, or the power that the two powers can exert, the rain-calling power is far stronger than the driving god power.
However, the great supernatural power of calling the wind and rain can only represent the Tiangang supernatural power itself, while the supernatural power of driving away gods as the original method of the incense and fire god way, to some extent, is the method that dominates the incense and fire god way.
The Heavenly Court used its magical powers to exorcise gods and spread the system of incense and fire into the world. All acquired gods were included in the category of magical powers to exorcise gods. This plan made the incense and fire into the Shinto, which was originally one of the Shinto, become the mainstream system of Shinto.
The ability to exorcise gods was therefore blessed by the laws of heaven, allowing the ability to exorcise gods, which was essentially not as good as the great Tiangang supernatural power, to be perfectly exerted.
The contrast between the supernatural power to exorcise gods and the supernatural power to call the wind and rain is essentially the contrast between the incense and Shinto system that the Heavenly Court has planned for countless years and the Tiangang supernatural power.
No matter how powerful the Tiangang supernatural power is, it can only represent one of the original great ways and cannot be compared with the huge incense and divine system that is spread throughout all realms. This is why Shen Yuan believes that the status of the exorcism supernatural power surpasses the rain-calling supernatural power.
The benefits brought to Shen Yuan by the initial stage of his ability to exorcise gods were even more important than the initial stage of his ability to call for rain.
First of all, as the divine power of exorcising gods came into being, Shen Yuan could clearly sense the context of the incense and gods system constructed by the gathering of incense between heaven and earth.
Along the banks of the Ji River, in the mountains and in the ancient imperial capital, there are clear veins of incense that are imprinted in Shen Yuan's perception, constructing an enormous incense network between heaven and earth.
This allowed Shen Yuan to truly intervene in the incense and Shinto system, rather than simply relying on the exorcism edict to forcibly drive the gods.
In addition, Shen Yuan could also feel that the God-Exorcising Edict he controlled had made great progress.
Before, Shen Yuan used the God-Exorcising Edict to command the gods, but he simply relied on his status as the source of the incense and Shintoism to forcibly suppress them, thus creating the illusion that the gods had appeared in the world to command the gods.
But after Shen Yuan entered the country and came into contact with the system of incense and Taoism, he realized that suppressing by status was only the most superficial way of application.
The real decree to expel gods should be to pry open the system nodes of the incense and fire Shinto, and suppress it based on the entire incense and fire Shinto system.
And the real effect of the exorcism decree is not just aimed at a certain individual.
Especially when dealing with individual gods whose realm is far superior to one's own, the decree to exorcise gods will be greatly weakened by the influence of the individual's will.
Using the exorcism divine command to deal with individual gods whose realm is far superior to one's own is absolutely the most foolish thing to do.
This behavior is like an emperor sitting in the throne room, using his imperial seal to smash a traitor to death.
The real approach should be to write an imperial edict, stamp it with the imperial seal and announce it to the world, so that all the subjects in the royal land can fight against this traitor.
The Giant Clam Water God has obeyed the order of the Jidu Dragon Lord and waved the top-grade spiritual treasure "Water and Sky One Color Flag". The huge body of the giant god, which is a hundred feet long, has mobilized billions of tons of river water, and the river water has flowed back into the sky and turned into a blue water sky.
Shen Yuan held the Jidu Dragon Seal in his hand, and looked calmly at the earth-shaking river water. He spoke in a calm tone:
"Fubo!"
It was as if the might of heaven carrying the supreme will had descended, and all the waves gathered on the surging rivers came to an abrupt halt in an instant.
Then the rivers began to flow backwards, and the surging waters of billions of rivers returned to calm after hearing these words.
Whether it was the power of the rivers mobilized by the Giant Clam Water God or the surging momentum of the rivers themselves, they were completely calmed down at this moment.
On the vast rivers, not even a wave higher than an inch could be seen. The rivers were dead silent, like an eternal cold pond.
However, the decree affected far more than just the rivers. The giant god a hundred feet tall formed by the river water, which was manifested by the giant clam water god and the yang god's Dharma image, also collapsed under the decree.
The body of the giant river god that was constantly flowing was torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and the water of the river returned to the river, revealing the true form of the Yang God Dharmakaya.
It was a huge river clam that was a red-gold color all over. When the clam shell opened and closed, there was a pearl inside. It was as scorching as the sun and could not be looked at directly.
Although the Yang God form of the Giant Clam Water God is still very powerful, it is much inferior to the hundred-foot giant god who controlled the waves and drove the power of rivers.
The Giant Clam Water God was stunned. The hundred-foot-tall giant god was the blessing brought to him by the Jidu Dragon Lord as the Patrol Envoy of the Jishui River.
The Jishui Patrolman is responsible for inspecting the Jishui River and punishing the gods of all waters. In ancient times, only a great demon king at the Return to Void Realm could hold this position.
Being appointed as the Jishui Patrol Commissioner and in charge of the Water and Sky Flag is enough to allow a water god who is not good at fighting to fight against all enemies in the same realm. At the same time, it can also weaken the backlash of heaven and earth to a certain extent.
But now, the power of rivers and the body of a hundred-foot-tall giant god that he could control as the Jishui Patrolman were all taken away by a single imperial decree. Such means already frightened him.
Even Jidulongjun, who had been paying attention to Shen Yuan, had a slightly dazed expression.
Shen Yuan issued the "Fu Bo" command to calm the Ji River. Not only did the water god Tridacna, who was the Demon King of the God of Refining, not put up any resistance, but even he, the lord of the Ji River, did not notice it.
"This is clearly a force interfering with the Jishui River. Why is there no response from my Dragon Lord authority?"
"This Lord God has such an imperial decree, why has the stalemate been maintained until now?"
"Is he forcing himself to use the imperial decree despite the backlash of heaven and earth? Or is he completely unharmed?"
Everything that happened before his eyes completely disrupted Jidulongjun's original thoughts, and he even began to doubt whether his previous guess was correct.
Just above the tranquil Jishui River, Shen Yuan was holding the Jidu Dragon Seal, with a hint of imperceptible pity in his eyes.
"I gave you a chance."
The plain words seemed to be just stating a trivial fact. "The death of the Grand Prince of Jidu was in my hands. This even involved the ancient Gonggong's way of the water god. It is very relevant. I do not want to have any contact with the Jidu Dragon Palace again."
Shen Yuan's voice carried the thoughts of burning incense and was transmitted to Xuanhuang Tower, Qingping County, Jidu River Basin, and the entire Cangzhou.
Everyone in Cangzhou, whether human, demon, aquatic or unintelligent beasts, could hear Shen Yuan's words.
Even far away in the Jidu Dragon Palace Cave, Shen Yuan's voice could still be heard in the huge crystal palace.
"This is the true word of God that can only be used by gods in the incense and fire domain. With the incense and fire faith as the medium, all living beings in the incense and fire domain can hear the words of God!"
The Water God in the Crystal Palace immediately spoke in a startled voice:
"He was able to ignore the restrictions of the Incense and Fire Domain and use incense as a medium to spread his words throughout Cangzhou. His attainments in the Incense and Fire Divine Dao must have reached the pinnacle!"
"Even in the Xuanhuang Realm, there are still very few Divine Lords who can reach such a realm. Ao Lang, have you lost your mind? How dare you provoke this Divine Lord?"
"The way of the ancient water god, is there any other secret behind this?"
"What exactly does this Lord God want by using the words of the True God?"
No one in Jidu Dragon Palace even cares about Shen Yuan killing the eldest prince of Jidu. They are more interested in knowing the secrets behind the ancient water god's ways and the purpose of this god in conveying the divine words to the entire Cangzhou.
In Cangzhou, countless creatures were either ignorant, trembling in fear, or excited, all waiting for Shen Yuan's next words.
“However, due to the will of fate, on my way to the Dao Conference, I saw the Jidu Dragon Palace agents teaming up with the water tribes to wantonly plunder property, bully people for money and kill people.
The great demon under the command of Jidu Dragon Palace acted recklessly and rashly interrupted the human race's grand event.
The true god of the water tribe has come to the world by force, holding the treasure of the Jidu Dragon Palace and intends to destroy the entire city. "
“The water tribe was expelled by my disciples, the great demon was killed by me, and the true god of the water tribe was repelled by me. Everything should have stopped here.
However, the Dragon Lord of Jidu rashly intervened in the world with the power of the Lord of Ji River, intending to massacre the city again. "
As soon as these words were spoken, countless creatures in Cangzhou were shocked.
On the bank of the Jishui River, there is a temple dedicated to the Dragon King of Jidu.
When the pilgrims who were burning incense heard Shen Yuan's words, their expressions gradually stiffened.
As people from Cangzhou, they more or less knew about some aquatic creatures rampantly plundering passing ships, but the people of Cangzhou did not associate it with the Jidu Dragon King.
After all, Cangzhou has a history of worshipping the Jidu Dragon King for tens of thousands of years. In the simple concept, it is believed that as long as the Jidu Dragon Palace is born, it will be able to quell the chaos of the aquatic tribes. This is why they come here to burn incense and offer sacrifices.
However, now that the unknown voice told them the truth behind it, and combined with some things they had encountered in reality, the pilgrims immediately confirmed that what the unknown voice said was not false.
The pilgrims' faces turned red instantly. One of them was a cultivator in the Refining Essence Realm. He kicked over the huge incense burner and raised the offerings on the table and smashed them at the statue of Jidu Dragon King.
"You allowed the water tribe to murder my human life, and you return my child to me!"
"What kind of dragon are you?"
"Smash it!"
This phenomenon did not only occur in this Dragon King Temple. Angry pilgrims destroyed altars and smashed up temples in hundreds of Dragon King Temples across Cangzhou, and a huge amount of public resentment was aroused at this time.
Ao Lang was immediately touched when a large number of Dragon King statues were destroyed, but as the Jidu Dragon King he was not just a god of incense and worship. Even if the people were resentful, it could not really hurt his foundation. He did not care about such a small matter at all.
On the Jishui River, Shen Yuan sensed the rising public resentment in Cangzhou's incense and Shinto system, and his voice echoed between heaven and earth like thunder:
"Ji Du Long Jun is a heretic and acts recklessly. He has ignored his responsibilities and caused great public resentment. His crime is unforgivable!"
"I am now executing the punishment on behalf of Heaven and removing Aolangjidu Dragon Lord from his post!"
Ao Lang was slightly stunned, then he laughed madly with sarcasm:
"Dismiss Jidulongjun? Do you know what you are saying?
Even if you are a Divine Lord, you are at most equal to the Four Dragon Lords. What qualifications do you have to dethrone me?"
Before he finished speaking, a huge golden decree seemed to fall from the sky above the dark clouds.
The purest Shinto aura, the source of incense, emanated from that decree.
Ao Lang seemed to be able to see an supreme emperor wearing a glazed pearl crown sitting in the sky, raising the imperial pen in his hand and slowly leaving a huge "imperial" character on an imperial edict!
That is not something mundane, and it is not something that can be influenced by one person or one word.
It comes from the source of incense and gods, and governs the heavenly court of all realms and directions!
That is a decree from heaven!
