The first ray of light in the sky fell, and the ringing of the morning bell caused the Yunwo Light Gate to open. Immortals, gods, and earth gods walked along the light gate and entered the interior, where they could see the Houtu Sacred Mountain and the Immortal Palace.
Going further to the front of the palace gate, you can see the immortal officials and auxiliary gods of the Hou Tu Divine Mansion, the masters of various palaces, and the masters of the fairy islands, such as Zhou Yang, the immortal official of the Heavenly Department, Jiang Yun, the master of the Yunguang Palace, and so on.
Usually, many immortal officials and divine officials would have a conversation here, but today, many immortals, gods and earth gods are lined up in front of the Immortal Palace, stepping on auspicious clouds, not saying a word, just waiting to pay homage to the Heavenly Venerable.
The black-robed deity standing at the front alongside all the other gods and immortals was the most conspicuous at the moment. Many people could be seen looking at him cautiously. Although many people said things about this deity behind his back, no one dared to say a word in front of him.
This isn't some minor god or immortal who got lucky and attained enlightenment, but he is truly a first-generation cultivator who has fought against the heroes of the world of mountains and seas, and fought in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Not to mention that he was once the judge of the soul-catching department of the underworld. The Taoist aura that judges the life and death and reincarnation of people is still intimidating even now.
Everyone entered the Hou Tu Temple, stepping on auspicious clouds. In front of them, on the cloud bed throne high above, the image of the Heavenly Venerable stood, and the masters of the various palaces stood under their feet. After performing the ritual three times, the immortal officials from each department made their reports first.
The immortal officials from various departments and the gods of the sea and earth among the four righteous gods stepped forward and then retreated one by one. Then, Ling Ji, the lord of the Immortal Palace, turned sideways and bowed to the great god Hou Tu who was sitting on the throne of Heaven and said.
"Report to the Heavenly Lord! This time, the Lord of Heaven, Chang De, has also entered our Hou Tu Divine Realm with the talisman of the Earth Official Emperor. He is willing to open a Taoist temple outside the domain to fulfill the agreement of the ancient gods."
"Will the Lord of Heaven summon him?"
The high and mighty Hou Tu Tianzun looked towards the Lord of the Immortal Palace. His eyes that illuminated the three realms seemed to have already seen Chang De below, and he nodded.
"Let him in! A god from the outside world has come to me and said he is willing to accept the agreement of the ancient gods. Why is there no one in my Houtu Divine Realm who is moved by this?"
At this time, the ancestor of human immortals, Lu Wu, came out and said, "I am also willing to go outside the domain to open up a place of blessing for the Taoist temple."
Led by the ancestor of human immortals, several people immediately came out and said in unison that they were willing to go outside the domain, including the old monk Dingguang.
Corpse Immortal Maji originally didn't want to stand up. After all, when he saw the three people in front of him, one was from the Mountain and Sea Realm, with two emperors standing behind him; one was from Buddhism, and later had the support of the entire Buddhist Western Continent and the Western Paradise, and also had enormous power in the world; the other was the ancestor of human immortals, and his influence in martial arts could be seen all over the world.
Each of the three is far superior to him. Before Lord Changde joined and made the conflict clear, he could still try to fish in troubled waters. But now that he is standing directly in front of Lord Houtu, he feels that he does not have much hope. This is also the reason why he was extremely angry before.
However, if he did not stand up in front of Hou Tu Tianzun at this moment, it would be difficult for him to open up a Taoist temple in this solar system in the future, let alone become the lord of Mars. After thinking it through, he stood up immediately.
The God Chang De, the ancestor of human immortals Lu Wu, the Buddhist monk Dingguang, the corpse fairy Maji, the god of alchemy and others lined up in a row in front of the hall, knelt on the ground, and waited for the decision of the Heavenly Venerable.
Tianzun thought for a moment and said, "The stars outside the domain also belong to the Heavenly Palace, and are under the control of the Heavenly Emperor. Although the Houtu Realm star field is considered my dojo, I cannot but inform the Heavenly Emperor."
Hou Tu Tianzun waved his hand and saw a divine light traveling across the nine heavens. Not long after, he saw a door of light opening in the void, and a white imperial decree returned and landed in the Hou Tu Temple.
Hou Tu Tian Zun took it and looked at it, then looked at the group of immortals and priests below: "Oh? Tian Guan Da Di suggested that I give you a test to test your determination and ability."
After a brief pause, Tianzun immediately made up his mind: "In this case, who among you can build the first city of 100,000 people on Mars will be the master of Mars."
In this way, the position of the Lord of Mars is determined by the abilities of all parties. The Lord of Heaven speaks the law of heaven, and there is no possibility of changing it once it is spoken.
Everyone bowed and kowtowed again: "We will obey the order of the law!"
The gods and demons in the world, who were originally in a great commotion and on edge, calmed down one by one, with the testimony of the Heavenly Venerable and the approval of the Emperor of Heaven. Then, each party would use their own methods and rely on their own abilities.
The immortals and gods dispersed, including Changde, who originally lived in Houtu Mountain, and went to the headquarters of the Asian Practitioners Alliance, where the port of Baigang Shenmo Heavy Industry had been completed and the first large star ship traveling between the earth and the moon was about to depart.
Chang De decided to take this star ship to the moon. As early as in the previous plan, he decided to ask the Emperor of Heaven Fang Xiu to borrow the right to use the teleportation gate to teleport his foundation in the mountain and sea world to the human world. However, the original plan was to do so after he was conferred as the Lord of Mars, but now it seems that it will be brought forward.
The construction of this port was planned long before White Harbor left the Earth. It was expected to open up passage between the Earth and the Moon in the middle of the first phase of the Lunar New World project. It is a transitional product of the Earth-Moon portal, and it can also be used after the Earth-Moon portal is opened, so it will not be wasted.
Changde boarded the star ship made of thunder iron wood in the picturesque harbor. The whole ship was painted white to cover up the complex and dizzying talisman carvings, and the White Port logo was painted underneath.
Chang De was respectfully invited into the cabin on the top floor, a quiet room that looked ancient, and set sail to fly into the sky, passing through the atmosphere. Under the pass from the Heavenly Department of Hou Tu Divine Mansion, he passed through the sealing formation and the barrier of the cave without up, down, left, right, or direction, and headed towards the moon.
It's okay on Earth. After all, the Earth is the realm of Hou Tufu, a place covered by the power of Heaven. As the god of Heaven, he is still blessed by the power of the laws of the Three Realms.
However, as soon as he left the Earth and went outside the domain, he could instantly feel that the power of the laws of heaven and earth and the divine power he controlled began to decline. This made Chang De feel extremely uncomfortable and even a little panicked.
This is the flaw and drawback of Shintoism. God is the god of the Three Realms. He is the deity who originally maintains the operation of the Three Realms system. Once he leaves the scope covered by the laws of the Three Realms, his power begins to decline, as if things that did not originally belong to them are beginning to be taken back.
However, as long as he enters a place covered by the laws of the Three Realms, his power will return to him again. Or he can go to a Taoist temple outside the domain and be named the Lord of the Extraterritorial Stars by the Heavenly Court. With the power of the Three Realms, he can also restore his original status as a god.
But this kind of power can never compare to the freedom of the immortal way.
It is for this reason that Chang De wants to go outside the domain to open up a temple. He is unwilling to be a restricted lower god. Even if he has to take the path of a god, he must become a golden immortal who can freely control the heaven and earth and perfect the laws. Only when the laws are created by himself can he be said to be free and at ease.
At the same time, Lu Wu, the ancestor of human immortals, also took the intercontinental sky train to the Alchemy City. He was the only one on the entire train. The train was painted with the logos of Weigang City and the Investigation Bureau, and he could travel unimpeded all the way.
