"The king's conspiracy. Ji Le sighed faintly, put away the poker, and stopped playing cards.

At present, the Tumu Kingdom is still a long way from being promoted to the Empire. But if the Heavenly King bestows the "Imperial Crown" and blesses the other party with the power of the Heavenly King, giving the other party the right to rule as the "King of All Nations", then the meaning is completely different.

As long as Tumu wears the crown of God, he is an empire recognized by the world and automatically becomes an emperor.

"Fortunately, the Heavenly King is no longer a God King. Otherwise, he canonized Big Brother, and directly gave all the national spirits an additional top boss, and established a real family of national lords and gods!"

"It has nothing to do with this!" Rome was grumpy and waved his hand vigorously: "The key is that Tumu receives the crown, which symbolizes the submission of the spirit of the country to the king of heaven." Let our national spirit be born from an independent force that is unmanaged, and the gods are a head shorter!"

Rome felt this more deeply than Ji Le.

This is the difference between the divine right of the monarch and the divine right of the king.

Don't look at the king of heaven in charge of fate, but the fate of the underworld, the fate of the mother earth, can the king of heaven control it?

The spirits of the kingdom rely on the earth, are semi-independent of the fate of the king, and do not need to respect any gods. However, as Tumu accepts the gift of the Heavenly King, the fate of the national spirits will be brought back into the control of the Heavenly King.

In the future, the major empires may have to use the gods to canonize themselves in order to become emperors.

Ji Le looked at Rome with red skin, and inexplicably thought of the kings in the West who knelt before the Pope. Of course, it was not the Pope who knelt down, but the god behind the Pope.

Similarly, if Yang Ke was to kneel in front of the hall masters of the major temples......

Thinking of that scene, Ji Le shook his head and tried his best to dispel the illusion in his mind.

"I'm in the same vein, so I won't kneel in front of those heavenly gods' spokesmen in the world. ”

Listening to Ji Le and Luo Mu's conversation, Finity also understood the seriousness of this matter: "That...... We persuade Tumu to give up the crown?"

Luo Mu: "After giving up, where will the imperial crown be placed?"

"Which side will it be handed over, I'm afraid everyone won't rest assured, right?" Ji Le spread his hands: "Two peaches kill three soldiers! The Heavenly King only used a crown to completely provoke the relationship between our national spirits. ”

If Tumu is not allowed to accept the crown, then to whom will this crown, which symbolizes the power of the empire, be handed over?

Rome said coldly: "The crown, this is not the only one!

"Let the Earth Mother make an imperial crown for us, won't it also make us bow down to the gods?" Ji Le shook his head and said, "This matter is best solved internally." Let's go to Bardo first, and our four countries will unite to put pressure on Big Brother to give up the Golden Crown. Don't take the king's gift casually. As for what to do with the imperial crown, let's talk about it later. ”

In short, Tumu can't be stupidly become a pawn of the king.

"For now, let's wait for this main artifact to come to an end. Turning back, our three countries immediately took action. ”

......

The troops of the Three Kingdoms traveled to the ruins to find the artifact inherited by the Earth Mother.

On the Xia side, led by Yi Zhi and supplemented by Zhao Zhiwen, with ten wizards and elite soldiers, they cautiously entered the crypt.

The female warlocks on the Toya side also walked in under the protection of a group of soldiers.

As for Rome, it was Nek and Herodotus who took the lead.

The female sorcerer on the Doga side was the first to speak: "This temple of the Earth Mother God was sunk into the ground by the gods during the thousand-year war. After we've sorted it out twice, we've found a way to the underground shrine. However, Mother Earth's palace structure is complicated, and we have not found a true path to the core heritage temple. ”

Yi Zhi bowed his head and said: "In this case, it is better for us to divide our soldiers into three ways and look for each other." All three of their Highnesses can possess the spirit of the nation, and if we fight each other, we will immediately be perceived by them. Therefore, the three countries must not kill each other. If you encounter a trap, you can not save people in a hurry, but you can't do further harm. ”

"So, the three of us had better come to a gentleman's agreement. ”

"Agreed. ”

"Good!"

The leaders of the three kingdoms reached a tacit understanding, and after passing through a common road, three forks appeared in front of them.

Doya immediately said, "Let's take the right road." ”

Yi Zhi's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded silently. Nek seemed a little dissatisfied, but was stopped by Herodotus and did not say anything. Both sides let the female warlocks enter the right passage.

After they left, Nek couldn't help asking, "Hey, wizards of the Xia Kingdom, don't you know that they have been here before?" ”

"That's their experience, it's the first two times to get it. Yi Zhi said lightly: "After all, they are coming for the third time, so I always have to give them some convenience." ”

"What's more, the passage of the underground temple is as intricate as a spider's web, who knows if the right side is right, who knows that there is only one correct path?"

After speaking, Yi Zhi led the Xia people to the left.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Nieke angrily led the group to the middle fork in the road.

When the three people gradually walked away, Yi Zhi and the others suddenly turned back.

Zhao Zhiwen: "Yigong, you are ......"

Yi Zhi was sacrificed by Ji Le with two divine beast spirits to perform a séance. The strength of his divine soul is extremely high, and after the study of the Spirit Palace's witchcraft system, he has stabilized at the demigod level.

I saw him tap the witch wand lightly, and layers of black ripples spread from the tip of the wand in all directions, probing along the three-way road.

After a long while, the ripples did not turn back, but disappeared into the three dark passages, which made Yi Zhi's expression show a little relief: "Go back again, go to the left." ”

Which one is this?

Sun Di couldn't help but ask, "Hey, boss, do you have any special exploration techniques?"

"That's right, it's a new type of witchcraft modeled after bat sound waves. If there is an echo, it means that there is an obstacle. But with sonic perception, no foldback occurs. ”

Yi Zhi led the group back to the left again and explored the Temple of Mother Earth.

But what he didn't tell the others was that when he was using witchcraft just now, he secretly used Gu worms to follow the other two paths and follow the other two people. Even if you fail to explore yourself, you can divert to the other two parties.

"Yigong is really a cautious person. Secretly, Ji Le sensed Yi Zhi's approach and nodded in satisfaction.

Looking back at the camp, Finitya excused herself to go to Tigilet and had left for the time being.

"Ji Le......" Luo Mu took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and asked directly: "What do you think about sealing the gods?"

"You really want to make a god. Ji Le looked at Rome with complicated eyes.

After seeing Neke Julius, Ji Le had this guess. Rome not only wanted to be a god, but also to create a complete god system. No, even the position of the Heavenly King is ready!

"No, no, no, I'm not that arrogant. Rome saw Ji Le's thoughts, and quickly shook his head: "I don't dare to get involved in those laws and powers that are conceived by heaven and earth, I just want to give birth to some low-level gods." As you know, after a few god wars, the authority of the great gods began to split, and the belief in gods was born. Rather than letting those who believe in God take our foundation, we should build our own gods. ”

"So, who is honored in this god line?"

Is it the conceptual embodiment of these two nations, or are they the newly born gods?

"What's more, where will they live in the future-" Suddenly, Ji Le's expression changed, and his expression became serious: "Self-opening the God Realm?"

"That's right, that's why I'm speeding up the creation of gods. Rome said excitedly: "Now that the cloud realm is divided, the main gods have created their own divine realm. This is our chance, and I have decided to use the Pantheon to build a sacred mountain and erect the Roman state's own divine system. ”

Similar to the blessed land of the Xia Kingdom, Rome intends to choose a sacred mountain with strong vitality to temporarily serve as the residence of the gods. Then slowly lift this land god kingdom high to the sky!

"Tumu has been crowned, and no matter what, we have to prepare for the other hand. In the future, you and I will become empires. ”

"The establishment of the three empires has accelerated the process of civilization in this world. Soon after, under the influence of the elemental tides, the age of separation between God and man will begin. The gods exalted the kingdom of God in the heavens. The ancient gods lived in seclusion, and that was the time of the empire. It's our time! But the gods will live in a different way. They will use mortals on earth to harvest faith. ”

"We need to cultivate our own civilized gods to compete with these newly born gods, or the gods of faith who have transformed from old gods," said Rome. At the very least, to maintain the independent faith of our two empires. ”

Ji Le was silent.

Canonize the gods and create the divine realm?

It's not that he didn't think about it, but he didn't expect Rome to move so fast!

You know, the two empires have different routes to god-making.

The Romans liked to localize foreign gods. For example, Jupiter, the god king of the Pantheon in Rome, evolved from Zeus in Greek mythology. Juno is the same as Hera......

Rome was very absorbent of foreign gods, and worshipped foreign gods more than its own gods. In the end, even the Pantheon, which was compatible with hundreds of schools, was defeated by the Monotheistic Religion.

Romans knew too much about the nature of his own people.

The indigenous gods of this world can easily enter the hinterland of their own land and establish a new mythological system. As a result, Rome wanted to preemptively build Jupiter as a god, and then stabilize the cornerstone of its empire. Even if the native gods were absorbed, they could not affect or even threaten the Roman gods Jupiter and Mars in the traditional sense.

But the Zhuxia lineage is different, they prefer to "deify" the ancestral spirits of the ancestors. The more ancient the more holy, the more holy the more divine. In the Chinese concept of gods, ancient means mysterious, but also powerful.

For example, the two emperors of Yan and Huang and Fuxi Nuwa all walked on the altar as the ancestors of humanity. In the end, the Five Emperors were honored as a sacrifice to Yanhuang Zhengsu. As for the Jade Emperor of Taoism, it was a god canonized by the emperor of the Song Dynasty. And the foreign gods and Buddhas of Buddhism have nothing to do with the local area. How can we hear that the local monks have achieved the "Three Bodhisattvas"? Which of the three Buddhas is a Chinese?

If Ji Le shapes the Huaxia God Realm and canonizes the gods, he will definitely choose the ancestral spirit route. With the séances of Cangjie, Huo Qubing and others as the core, create their own god system.

"I don't have any plans to establish the Divine Realm. I'm not in a hurry......" Yi Jile's idea is to wait for the time to be ripe and create the Heavenly Court Divine System on his own.

With the Emperor of Heaven as the core, Cangjie, Nuhao and others were all gods. And the Emperor of Heaven, in Ji Le's current plan, decided to take the ancestral god route of the Shang Dynasty.

That is, after the death of the king of man, he is the emperor of heaven.

The first Emperor of Heaven, Ji Le planned to let Yang Ke be the one.

Yang Ke inherited the divinity of Emperor Yan, ascended to heaven as a god, and was known as the Emperor of Heaven, in order to govern the god system of the heavenly court.

Then, after the death of each generation of monarchs, they were subsumed into the heavens and became a generation of heavenly emperors.

It is precisely because of the use of this ancestral god system of the Shang Dynasty that Ji Le deliberately invited Yi Zhi, in addition to the god of food and foreign governance, he also has the intention of relying on Yi Zhi to build the belief in the Heavenly Emperor.

Of course, this idea is not easy to implement, and there are many flaws.

Yang Ke is the Emperor of Heaven, who is the Queen of Heaven? When will Yang Ke abdicate? How will the next Emperor of Heaven ascend to the throne? Where is Ji Le's own position? Is it on a par with the Emperor of Heaven, or is it a higher level?

It is precisely because there are too many problems and a wide range of involvements that Ji Le is currently unresolved.
