Chapter 153 Edict to Become a God
After finishing the important matters, the Divine Lord Canglan asked in surprise, "What is Lord Jue's surname? Why wasn't he used when he attained enlightenment?"
Jiao Jue laughed and said, "My father's surname is Jin, but my bloodline is not prominent. I have never even been given my mother's surname since I was a child. My mother also has no surname. She only gave me the courtesy name Jue."
The character "角" (Jiao) was given to me during a playful time with old friends; it's not my real surname, but you may call me Jiao Jue from now on, Divine Lord.
Canglan Divine Lord nodded and said, "In that case, Lord Jue, please come with me to the temple to rest for a while and wait for the lords of the various prefectures to pay their respects."
Jiao Jue nodded and followed Canglan God to the temple.
The summons from the Canglan God had just been issued, and the various lords of the palace had not yet arrived; Jiao Jue then began to discuss the final arrangements with the Canglan God in the temple.
——————
The silver plate awoke on the morning of the fifth day.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the Canglan Divine Lord riding on Shan Wu's back. Behind the Divine Lord were the Lord of Lanshan, the Lord of Nanshui, the Lord of Lanjiang, the Lord of Xiaocangshan, the Lord of Xiaoruohe...
All the key figures in charge of the Canglan Mountains and waterways have arrived.
She quickly stood up, bowed, and clasped her hands, saying, "My Lord."
"No need for formalities, Silver Plate." Looking at the Silver Plate, which had transformed into a powerful dragon, the image of her slender figure from the first time he saw her came to mind.
He said, "The Canghe Seal has become independent, and from now on it will be yours."
The Canglan God summoned the Mountain God Seal and presented it to the face of the silver plate, comforting it: "My days are numbered, and I am about to collapse. Because I have absorbed many mountains and rivers, this Canglan Mountain God Seal can no longer be handed over to the next Mountain God as usual; but now you have merged with the Canghe Seal and calculated the God, so you can merge with this Canglan Mountain God Seal."
"Silver Plate, accept this divine seal. Carry on the legacy of the past mountain gods of Canglan Mountain and protect this land."
Yinpan was startled upon hearing this. She said, "Divine Lord?"
The Canglan God smiled calmly and said: "Silver Plate, I want you to accept this Mountain God Seal and treat the people of Canglan kindly."
"You have managed the Cang River well; you are capable of this task. I will have my brothers and children assist you."
Then he turned to the side and pointed at Jiao Jue with his tiger claw, saying, "This is the new God of Celestial Phenomena. I have already made arrangements with Him to make the Canglan Mountains and waters His subordinate clan. After I confer you the title of God, you must immediately bring your lords to pay homage to the God of Celestial Phenomena, Lord Jue."
Upon hearing this, Yinpan retreated repeatedly. Her joy at becoming a saint had turned into resistance. She formed hand seals with both hands, trying to extract the Canghe Seal from her body, but found that she could not extract it no matter what she did.
"Silver Plate, Canghe has accepted you," Canglan Jun said calmly.
"But……"
"This is a good thing."
"I will eventually crumble, you know that. I am very gratified that one of you can bear this divine seal."
With tears streaming down her face, Yinpan transformed into a celestial being, knelt down, lowered her head, and raised her claws high above her head.
Lord Canglan held up the Mountain God Seal and said, "Heaven and earth bear witness that the waterways of Canglan Mountain are about to collapse."
The Canghe River has a spirit silver disc that dredges the Canghe River and governs all races. It is a saint within my Canglan territory, with outstanding virtue, and is willing to protect all living beings in the mountains and rivers of Canglan. Now I entrust the mountains and waters of Canglan to her. All the mountains and waters of Canglan, heed my command and help the silver disc to condense its divine essence.
Imperial decree: The proud and indomitable divine lord of the Canglan Mountains and their waters.
As soon as the decree of the Divine Lord of Mountains and Rivers was issued, lightning flashed across the heavens and earth, and the mountain winds howled in response. The divine essence within the mountains and rivers responded to this sound and was severed from root to root.
"Puff, puff, puff..." On the Canglan Mountain God Seal, the phantom images of mountains and rivers appeared one after another; they paused briefly in the air, circled around the Canglan God Lord, and then flew into the center of the silver plate. They reconnected around the Canghe Seal.
As the Lanjiang River flows away, the other webbed hand of Shenjun Mountain and Water disappears.
Upon reaching the Lingcang Mountains, the deer antlers atop Shenjun Mountain disappeared.
Heading towards the Linglan Mountains, the tail of Shenjun Mountain and Water disappears.
The southern watercourse has flowed away, and the vertical pupil on the forehead of the Divine Lord Mountain and Water has closed, disappearing without a trace.
As they descended the Xiaocangshan mountain range, Shenjun Shanshui lost a tuft of body hair.
...
"The Silver Plate of the Proud God Lord, I entrust Canglan to you." After saying this, the God Lord Shanshui closed his last pair of eyes; the temple in the very center of the Canglan Mountains shook violently, the pillars of the hall tilted, and the tiles on the hall fell, seemingly about to collapse.
The sky darkened, the stars appeared, and the star belonging to the Canglan Divine Lord's mountains and waters dimmed.
The mountain carried away the water and mountains without carrying it.
Silver Plate also wanted to go, but the people on the left and right of the mountain stopped Him, saying, "Divine Lord, please open the seal, cast the divine throne, and enter the divine temple."
Upon hearing this, the proud and unyielding deity had no choice but to calm himself down. He transformed into a dragon and let out a long roar. A scroll of ink painting, containing a glittering golden seal, flew out of his mouth and hovered in the air.
He shouted to the heavens: "I am grateful to the proud and noble God of Canglan Mountain and Water for bestowing this title upon me. I thank Heaven and Earth for their great favor, I thank the God of Canglan for his guidance, and I thank all living beings for their support."
Print it!
Take a handful of soil from each of the mountains under my jurisdiction, and a mouthful of water from each of the rivers under my jurisdiction, to forge the position of a proud and noble divine ruler, and to stabilize the waterways of my vast mountains!
Upon hearing this, the seals of the rulers of each mountain and water vein flew out from within him, hovering in the air. They drew upon the water and soil under their jurisdiction, sending it through birds, beasts, and aquatic creatures, one by one, to pour onto the silver plate.
When the final seal from the South Bank Mountain was delivered with the last handful of soil, the silver plate shouted, "Take the seal!"
Then, it was seen that there was an essence flowing within the cement, gradually condensing into the shape of a seal, which merged into the seal on the scroll of ink painting in the air.
The divine seal was formed.
The silver plate raised its head and opened its mouth, and the image printed on the album returned to its mouth.
Then, He shook His body and roared to the heavens: "I shall ascend to the throne of God!"
With His roar, all the lords behind Him bowed in unison before the silver plate, saying, "Lord of Lingcang Mountain/Lord of Linglan Mountain... pay homage to our Lord, the Proud God of the Canglan Mountains and Waters!"
Then you can see the mountain soil and river water that were transported from the ground rise into the air drop by drop, as if an invisible hand is kneading them. Before long, a clay figure with a sword tip pointing to the sky and a horizontal hilt is formed.
Upon seeing this, the people from the left and right mountains transformed into celestial beings, prostrated themselves on the ground, and bowed to the clay figure, saying, "We respectfully invite the proud and unyielding God to take his seat."
The clay figure flew around the silver plate, and the silver plate waved its right claw upwards, saying, "Gentlemen, please follow me into the hall."
Everyone followed the silver plate toward the temple.
With each step, the silver plate grew taller and wider; as it entered the palace, the crooked pillars and fallen tiles gradually straightened.
The silver plate entered the hall and came to the platform where the mountains and waters had originally been seated.
It's empty now, there's nothing there.
She stood above, her back to everyone, and slammed the clay bricks in the air into the ground with both claws.
The adobe brick cracked upon landing, revealing a sword-shaped divine throne that shone with an icy, earthy yellow hue. The silver disc turned and sat upon it, while the assembled beings below bowed again, saying, "Greetings to our Lord, the Proud and Unyielding Divine Lord of the Canglan Mountains and Rivers!"
The proud and aloof deity, Yinpan, rose and lowered his eyes slightly, saying, "Please rise, gentlemen. Follow me to pay respects to the Divine Lord. Please invite the Celestial God, Lord Jue, to take the seat."
Yinpan led the group out of the hall, bowed nine times to Jiaojue, and said, "Yinpan, along with the lords of the Canglan Mountains and Water Veins, pays respects to our lord."
Jiao Jue accepted the gift and shouted to the heavens, "Heaven and earth bear witness that I have just attained enlightenment. The spirits of the Canglan Mountains and water veins, along with the various palaces, have come to submit to me. I shall accept them."
Yinpan bowed and stood to the side, saying, "My lord, please take a seat."
Jiao Jue strode forward and walked to the highest point in the hall, where a silver plate throne already stood. Jiao Jue pulled down the blue cloth, rolled it on the ground, and a large cushion emitting blue light appeared. Jiao Jue sat on it.
With a wave of his silver claw, he moved His throne aside before sitting down and addressing the assembled guests: "Gentlemen, please take your seats."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Thunder rumbled across the vast expanse of heaven and earth.
In the Canglan Mountains, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom;
All things know that the mountains and rivers of Canglan have welcomed their new god: the proud and noble god Yinpan; and their god lord: the god of celestial phenomena, Juejun.
The ceremony is complete.
