"Hmm." The Jade Emperor nodded slightly.
After the third bow, Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu returned to the ministers' group. Looking at the Five Imperial Seals in her hand, she felt extremely excited and happy.
From now on, she is the existence second only to the Jade Emperor and the Emperor of Purple Star in the North Pole of the Central Sky in the Heavenly Court, and is on the same level as the Emperor Gou Chen, the Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole, the Emperor Hou Tu, the King of the East, and the Queen Mother of the West.
Besides, no one except the Jade Emperor could remove her from her divine duties. Although Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Emperor was the "Deputy Lord" of the Heavenly Court, half a rank higher than her, she only needed to address Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Emperor as "fellow Taoist."
At the moment when the Lady of the Nine Heavens accepted the seal and expressed her gratitude, the Four Great Emperors, the Eastern King, and the Western Queen Mother, six of the most respected gods in the Heavenly Court second only to the Jade Emperor, immediately bowed to the Lady of the Nine Heavens and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist."
Seeing this, the Lady of the Nine Heavens immediately returned the greeting, saying, "Thank you, fellow Taoists."
The gods in the heavenly court, from the Five Elders of the Five Directions down, also recovered from their shock at this moment. Then, they all became invigorated and bowed to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, saying, "Greetings to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Yuannu Holy Mother, the Great Emperor Juntian!"
The Lady of the Nine Heavens looked at the gods and immortal officials, nodded with a smile, and said, "My lords, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up."
"Thank you, Great Emperor Juntian." The gods bowed in thanks in unison.
Next, the Taoist Daluo and the Buddhist Daluo came to congratulate the Queen Mother of the West. Although they were very reluctant, Vairocana Buddha and Vajra Indestructible Buddha still forced a smile to congratulate the Queen Mother of the West, and the Queen Mother of the West returned the greetings one by one.
After the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's ascension ceremony concluded, the Jade Emperor was heard to say, "This time, I have emerged from seclusion to dispel the calamity and will initiate the three great 'destinies' of the present world."
Hearing the Jade Emperor's words, the immortals present suddenly became solemn. The three great 'destinies' were activated. What were these 'destinies'?
But at this time no one dared to ask questions, but instead looked quietly at the Jade Emperor above.
The Jade Emperor first glanced at Taishang Laojun and Sakyamuni Buddha, who then bowed and said, "Great Celestial Venerable, please make the decision."
Something's wrong! Something's wrong!
The Taoist and Buddhist gods were shocked when they saw this scene. This wasn't right. The Taoist and Buddha shouldn't be so respectful to the Jade Emperor!
In the past, the Jade Emperor, the Taoist Patriarch, and the Buddha had the same status. Although the Taoist Patriarch and the Buddha respected the Jade Emperor because they were the rulers of the three realms, the Jade Emperor also showed great respect to the Taoist Patriarch and the Buddha. What happened today?
Not only the Taoist and Buddhist gods thought so, but even the gods in heaven, including the Four Emperors... no, now it's the Five Emperors, even the Five Emperors and other gods in heaven had expressions of shock.
How could such a huge change have occurred during the Great Celestial Venerable's retreat? What on earth had happened?
After the Daoist Patriarch and the Buddha Patriarch expressed their opinions, the Jade Emperor slowly spoke, "The first great destiny: Heaven will redefine the thirty-three days to thirty-six days. This redefinition of the heavens will begin seven days into the Earthly calendar."
Reset the thirty-three days to thirty-six days?
The ones who are most concerned about this matter are none other than the gods and immortal officials in heaven. If the thirty-three days are reset to thirty-six days, does that mean that the duties and authority of the gods in heaven will also change accordingly?
The Jade Emperor then continued, "The second major decree: abolish the trade of merit within the Three Realms. From now on, merit will be untradeable, replaced by the 'Robbery Jade.' From now on, all merit will not be bestowed by Heaven, but will be bestowed upon the souls of those who have achieved merit and virtue. Merit can help mortals, cultivators, and immortals avoid disasters, offset sins, and reduce sins! This decree will take effect thirty-six days after the Earthly Calendar." M.cascoo.net
As the Jade Emperor finished speaking, the Taoist and Buddhist gods were all shocked. Merit can't be traded? And what is "robbery jade"? I've never heard of it before!
Furthermore, merit is no longer bestowed by the Heavenly Court, but directly bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, and can be used to avert disasters and ward off sins and crimes? Does that mean that if one has enough merit, even if one breaks the Heavenly Law, it can be used to offset sins and reduce their karma?
Just as everyone was speculating, the Jade Emperor helped them confirm, "Merits can also be used to offset the sins of the Heavenly Laws."
'boom'
This sentence was like a thunderclap, causing a storm in everyone's heart. They had originally planned to spend all their merits later so that they would not be unable to use them in the future. But now, after hearing that merits could offset the crimes committed according to the heavenly rules and reduce the sins at the same time, everyone immediately gave up the idea of spending all their merits. Are you kidding? This thing can save lives!
At this moment, all the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace looked at the Jade Emperor with anticipation. The first two constants were so powerful, so the third constant must be even more powerful!
As we all know, the most important things often come last.
