Chapter 1359 Promoted to the Great Emperor
If you want to understand the power struggle between the Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor, you must first understand the authority of the List of Gods.
The authority of the List of Gods is divided into two parts, one is the List of Gods itself, and the other is the "Golden Seal of Creation".
The authority of the List of Investiture of the Gods itself represents the supreme authority in the three realms of the world, and this authority is "overall controlled" by the Jade Emperor.
The Golden Seal of Creation is the authority divided out from the List of Gods, which is used to facilitate the management of the system of immortal officials in the Heavenly Court.
In other words, there will be two systems in heaven from now on, one is the "god" system, and the other is the "immortal official" system.
The Golden Seal of Creation holds the power to confer titles on all gods and immortal officials below the level of the Self-Respecting God.
But in the final analysis, the Investiture of the Gods is the source of the highest authority used by the Heavenly Court to rule the three realms. Both the Investiture of the Gods and the Heavenly Court are ruled and dominated by the Great Heavenly Venerable.
However, after being listed, they will no longer care about worldly affairs, so the Heavenly Court must have a system of immortal officials to supplement the "god" system.
So in fact, although the Great Celestial Lord dominates everything, the List of Gods has separated out the power of the 'Golden Seal of Creation' to be held by the Lady of the West.
Therefore, the power that the Queen Mother of the West fought for was not for her own selfish desires, but for the power of the entire immortal official system in the heavenly court.
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Bin of the Four Heavens immediately felt extremely difficult. You originally wanted to reject Erlang Xiao Tianzun's "reward intention", which naturally included the Jade Emperor.
Tang Yu above looked at his father with some surprise, thinking to himself, "Why do you think the same as me today? If it were any other time, he would have scolded me long ago!"
At this moment, Qilangshen, Nezha, and Li Shenfu exchanged glances, then took a step forward together and bowed in unison, "Your Highness, Little Heavenly Venerable Erlang, we have nothing important to offer and would like to pray to the Heavens on Your Highness' behalf. Please grant us your approval."
The righteous gods and gods are the gods who hold the authority over some of the heavenly rules in the eight realms of the world. Once they become righteous gods and gods, they will lose their mortal nature and only have divinity.
The 'Imperial Award Recipe' was the token of the authority that Erlang Xiao Tianzun had in charge of Sun Wukong. Li Bin took this talisman and said that he would obtain the authority to assist Li Bin Xiao Tianzun in controlling Sun Wukong.
The Jade Emperor has now retreated to the eighth level of the heavenly hierarchy. It can be said that he has not yet reached the level that few people in history have ever dreamed of. However, for the Jade Emperor, there is no shortage of joy, but the heavy responsibility of all sentient beings in the eight realms is also heavy.
Before the Jade Emperor broke the Heavenly Mandate Mirror, he immediately addressed the Little Heavenly Venerable Erlang, saying, "Your Highness, the Jade Emperor, wishes to report to the Little Heavenly Venerable Erlang. I have long desired to retreat and study the Dao of Xiaoluo. Now that the Little Heavenly Venerable Erlang has ascended the throne, I shall retreat and cultivate in the lower realms. I beg the Little Heavenly Venerable Erlang's permission."
After saying that, Erlang Xiao Tianzun raised his hand and pointed, and a divine light immediately flew out from under Sun Wukong, instantly turning into a magic talisman and flying behind the Jade Emperor.
Seven Emperors
'Zun Shen' is the god under Sun Wukong, except for Li Bin, the Little Heavenly Venerable, who holds the smallest authority over the rules of the eight realms in the world. Only people with little practice and merit can become Zun Shen, and Zun Shen can only be conferred by Erlang, the Little Heavenly Venerable.
But Tang Yu knew that Xuannv was helping me share the hatred. He was just a small general of Dutian, and he dared to challenge the Four True Swords of Heaven. If I helped him share some of the hatred, I would have known how he died.
Erlang, the Little Celestial Venerable, said, "I confer upon you the title of 'Little Emperor Lingxiao', and promote you to the rank of 'Little Emperors' in the Heavenly Court. Your original title of 'Taisu Daozhen Zhongtian Doushu Xuantian Puhua Emperor' has been promoted to 'Taisu Daozhen Zhongtian Doushu Xuantian Puhua Lingxiao Zhifu Little Emperor'. I also grant him the 'Imperial Title and Rewards', and together with the Seven Imperial Little Emperors, he will assist me in ruling the Eight Realms."
So now the official ranks in Heaven are divided as follows:
The words were ostensibly addressed to the Jade Emperor, but in reality they were addressed to the Four Heavenly Swords. The Jade Emperor simply bowed and said, "Little Heavenly Venerable, your words are very kind. I accept them with all due respect."
Then, the eight men, Qilang Shen, untied the Heavenly Mandate Mirrors from their waists, held them in their hands, and bowed in prayer, saying, "Heavenly Dao, Qilang Shen (Nezha, Li Shen Fu) hereby prays that the Heavenly Mandate Mirrors be given to Little Emperor Hongqing alone, and that the Heavenly Mandate be bestowed upon Little Emperor Hongqing. Please grant this favor."
God (god, spirit)
After hearing what the eight emperors said, Erlang Tianzun understood what we were going to ask of the Heavenly Dao. But after a brief pause, Li Bin Tianzun still agreed, "Approved."
Thinking of that, Li Bin had no choice but to stand up and bow, saying: "Your servant Xuannv respectfully reports to the Erlang Xiao Tianzun. Tang Yu's words are very much in line with the public opinion. I second the motion."
Erlang, the Little Heavenly Venerable, sat under the throne and watched the scene. He finally understood why Emperor Haotian introduced the Jade Emperor to me. Obviously, the Jade Emperor's majesty in the Heavenly Court was second only to the Little Emperor Qiyu. Although he had the Four Heavenly True Swords, he was at most powerless to fight back.
Soon, under the entire Lingxiao Palace, less than 40% of the gods in heaven supported Li Bin, the Little Heavenly Venerable, in the list of gods.
Zun Shen (Little Emperor)
As soon as Li Bin, the Little Heavenly Venerable, finished speaking, a voice came from the immortal group: "General Tang Yumei, the minister of the capital, has no ability to make a report."
Then the Tianming Fangjian flew into the hands of the Jade Emperor. At this time, the Tianming Fangjian was called "Tianming Fangjian", and there was no longer any prefix name like "Hongqing", "Qilangshen", "Nezha" or "Lishenfu".
Tang Yu walked out of the immortal group holding a scepter and bowed, saying, "Your servant, Tang Yu, wishes to report to the Lesser Celestial Lord Erlang. Emperor Hongqing's achievements extend across the eight realms, and his power is felt throughout the heavens. He is a loyal minister to the Lesser Celestial Lord Li Bin, but he has not done anything to support him. If he is given a generous reward, how will he convince the public? I believe that all gods and immortals deserve rewards, but only Emperor Hongqing deserves them."
The eight people bowed to the Jade Emperor and returned to the throne. Although Tianming Fangjian was gone, our position as emperor would not be affected in any way. It was just that we would no longer have such a small authority.
