Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 269
The Last Ascender Before Heaven Collapses
***
Hong Shen never thought that he would see his father again.
The nightmare of a hundred years ago had caused him to lose his entire family except for his grandfather, Hong Kang.
That's when her parents tragically died.
If not for Cui Heng appearing halfway to save them, he would probably have been an orphan.
Therefore, Hong Shen never wanted to remember the events of a hundred years ago.
It would be too painful and sad.
However, he never expected to see his father again a hundred years later.
"Dad!" Hong Shen knelt before Hong Tao, no longer possessing the dignity of an Emperor.
"Good boy, wake up." Hong Tao looked at his son and felt a lot of emotions. He sighed and said, “In my memory, you are still very young. Now, you are an Emperor.
He had long since died, but the rest of his soul was left behind on the Hong family memorial tablet. Although Cui Heng had bestowed him as a God, his memories were still from a hundred years ago.
Now that he saw that Hong Shen had grown up, he felt a little confused.
However, the current Hong Tao was no longer a mortal, but rather a god with divine power.
Whether it was his strength or his mind, they had reached the Mystical God realm. He can control his mental state very well.
This was also one of the special aspects of the Divine Investiture Convergence technique. Under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult for an ordinary person who suddenly had the power of a Mystic God to control this power without a strong mind.
However, the gods are different. Their divine power and authority is generated by their Divine Position.
At the same time a person is conferred as a god, their soul and knowledge will be baptized by divine power and authority, and their mind will also be refined.
Therefore, he could directly control divine power.
"Dad, you now ..."
Hong Shen stood up and asked. He could sense that his father had an extremely powerful strength that was many times stronger than him.
“I am now a Capital God, bestowed as a God by His Eternal Majesty.” Hong Tao cupped his hands and bowed to Cui Heng. “If not for His Eternal Majesty using the power of great divine bestowal on the rest of my soul, would you and I be reunited?”
“Thank you, Your Eternal Highness!” Hong Shen knelt down and bowed to Cui Heng and thanked him. Then, he asked curiously, "Your Majesty, this Capital God?"
“The Capital God is the god who protects the city. He judges good and evil and protects people in an area, ”Cui Heng explained with a smile. “This is the divine system I designed. I want to apply it in Great Xia.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and knocked. Hong Shen immediately felt a large amount of information appear in his mind.
This was a system of gods that used the ancestors of the Hong family as the core and was independent of the Imperial Court of the mortal world. Their main task is to protect the peace of the people and to judge good and evil.
With the Ancestral God of the Imperial Ancestral Temple as the main God, he would stay in the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the capital.
The main god governs the entire Divine System and has the ability to appoint other gods.
Under the Ancestral God of the Imperial Ancestral Temple was the god in charge of the capital, the prefecture city, and the county town. The position of this God would mainly be held by the ancestors of the Hong family and the late civil officials.
Each of the City Gods could establish a government office in his territory and use the authority of the Divine Envoy. He would have one Official Clerk, three Judges, four Day-Wandering Gods, four Night-Wandering Gods, seven Black and White Impermanence, and seven Cow-Headed Horse-Faced Immortals.
The power of the gods is very strong and they can ensure the security of a region. Even if there were martial artists causing trouble, they would be suppressed by the City God or Divine Envoy under them.
Moreover, the gods were invisible and could come and go without a trace.
It was best suited to monitor the administration of officials secretly.
If anyone commits a crime and attacks the commoners, the City God can send an envoy to gather evidence. As long as the evidence is sufficient, officials can be handed over to the government for investigation.
If the government does not do so, the local city guards will investigate privately. They will also arrest officials who have not dealt with the matter before and judge them together.
He used the abilities of the extremely powerful gods to check and watch to withstand the greedy nature of the officials.
This is the core of the entire Divine System.
And the authority and power that the gods have can ensure that they have absolute power to accomplish this.
However, the actions of the gods would also be limited by the rules of their God Position.
If they dared to play favorites, their God Position would be stripped in place, and they would become wandering ghosts. Their souls might even be instantly destroyed.
The whole system is interconnected and very thorough.
“If this method could be applied, the people of the world would be able to escape the sea of suffering!” Hong Shen praised endlessly and bowed respectfully to Cui Heng. “Hong Shen thanks His Eternal Majesty on behalf of the people in Great Xia.”
In fact, the method of using the Divine System as a monitor of this administration had caused a lot of damage to the authority of the Emperor. It could be said to have directly reduced his authority.
If it was a selfish king, even if they agreed because of Cui Heng's strength, they might not agree inwardly.
Hong Shen was different. He was an Emperor who was completely out of misery. He knows the difficulties of the people and has been dedicated to serving the people for many years.
Now that he knew that there was a system of gods that could benefit people, he hoped to implement it soon.
“We can't rush. The prerequisite for applying this method was that there should be a City of Gods temple everywhere. Otherwise, the City God would not have a fixed residence. People will not know what a City God is, and it will be difficult for them to unleash their power.”
Cui Heng shook his head gently and said, “Furthermore, I will bestow the title of Ancestral God to your ancestor, Hong Yong, and he will become the Lord of the City God System. After the various City God Temples were built, I was able to come and bestow upon the other City Gods.
