The major affairs of the country are only worship and Rong.

Ji Le did not want to compete with Yang Ke for military power, and with his status as a newcomer, he was not suitable to compete with a well-known monarch for this right. Even in the operation of state affairs, Ji Le is very inconvenient to interfere. Don't look at Yu Yuan's respect for herself, but people have grown up with Yang Ke since childhood, childhood sweethearts, can they not be towards Yang Ke?

Therefore, while maintaining restraint, the two sides made an agreement on the separation of power between worship and Rong.

Moreover, Yang Ke has always had a bad feeling towards the local gods, and he never refused to come to the Chengtian Temple to worship the eight masters. Now that Ji Le has arrived, this kind of thing is naturally him.

Chengtian Hall is one of the three halls of the Spirit Palace, after the Yongle Palace. Ji Le didn't bring too many people to the Chengtian Palace, but only asked Su Zhi to prepare melons and fruits, and pulled the young people to the Chengtian Palace.

The layout of the Chengtian Hall and the Yongle Hall is similar, and the eight main shrines fall in the front hall of Chengtian.

Ji Le took the two of them in, saw the incense and spirit clouds in the hall, and silently looked up at the sky.

"Even if Xia Guo hates God, does he still have to bow his head in the end?"

In the center of the eight main shrines in the hall are the two statues of heaven and earth. The Lord of the Heavens and the Mother of the Earth, these two great gods are revered as the Creator, the origin of the world.

In addition, the three left figures on the side of God are the Lord of the Sun, the Lord of the Soldiers, and the Lord of the Sun. The three deities on the right side of the Mother Earth are the Lord of the Moon, the Lord of the Four Hours, and the Lord of the Yin.

Because there is no such phenomenon as winter in this world, the Lord of the Four Seasons has no power at all, and there is nothing in the shrine, only a hazy divine glow. Perhaps, one day, the Xia Kingdom will be able to sacrifice a true Lord of the Four Seasons, thus adding the concept of "winter" to the world.

At least in Ji Le's eyes, the chances of the Four Seasons Lord becoming a god are greater than Yang Ke's chances of becoming a sun god.

The Lord of Yin and Yang is similar to the Lord of the Four Seasons, and they are two gods sacrificed in their homeland, and their divine light is hidden and not visible.

"However, the Lord of Yin and Yang, especially the Lord of Yin, coincided with the King of Youdu in the sacrifice of the Xia Kingdom, and may be able to become the first god of the underworld in this world?"

The system of gods in this world is very primitive, and there are very few gods on the human side except for the natural gods born by the Creator. Death, although a natural phenomenon, is also a humanistic concept. In this world, not to mention the god of death at the moment, even the underworld does not exist.

When a mortal dies, his soul automatically falls into the arms of the national spirit of his country. If there is no country, it will belong to the ancestral spirit god of the tribe. Otherwise, by devout faith they fall into the arms of the gods.

If there is no belonging to the nation, no tribe, no god's favor, the soul will be turned to ashes by the sun after a few days of wandering on the earth.

"Perhaps, in addition to the authority of the four seasons, the underworld is also a cocoon of light for us to shape the gods? For example, the national spirit of me, who accepts the undead, already has the right to be similar to the god of the underworld. ”

Ji Le looked at the shrine and wandered: I chose to use Fang Xiandao to cut off the close connection with the country. But in fact, from the Shinto side, there is also a way to get rid of it.

With the posture of the national spirit, he truly ascended to the throne of God.

"The old man and Yang Ke don't think that I can become a god, so can't I really become a god? The god of the underworld is a priesthood with great authority in all major mythological systems. ”

Compared with the Yin Lord, the opposing Yang Lord was not cared about by Ji Le. His eyes fell on the four shrines of heaven, earth, sun and moon, and he carefully examined them. These four local gods, because of the blessing of the world, the divine brilliance is dazzling.

Su Zhi stood beside him and asked cautiously: "Your Highness wants to sacrifice to the Eight Masters, do you want to inform my sister or Uncle Wuli?"

"I'm not here for a serious sacrifice. I just thank you to the gods for taking care of my Xia Kingdom. Ji Le ordered Su Zhi to put melon and fruit offerings on the table, and to worship with incense by herself.

The first bow is to thank the Lord of Heaven and Earth for His grace in creating the world.

There was a blood feud between the ancestors and God. But one thing I have to admit is that if this world is really opened up by God, then the ancestors must maintain a certain respect for the master when they come to other people's territory.

At the time of the incense sacrifice, Ji Le looked at the landlord's shrine.

The Mother Earth Goddess fell for thousands of years, and although the shrine continued to accumulate the power of faith belonging to the landlord, no one received it. A majestic and heavy divine power gathered in the landlord's shrine. And at the same time as Ji Le's sacrifice, he could vaguely feel that the divinity of the Earth Mother in his body was beating slightly.

But then, everything went back to normal.

"Sure enough, Mother Earth has something to do with Xia Guo crossing!"

The second bow is to thank the Lord of the Sun and Moon for His glorious grace. No matter how disgusted the ancestors were, they couldn't help but admit that it was the brilliance of the sun and moon gods shining on the earth that allowed the Xia Kingdom to farm and live.

It can be said that the four gods of heaven, earth, sun and moon are the objects of sacrifice that living beings cannot avoid.

And the third prostration, it is a salute to the ordinary gods.

After learning about Xia Guo's current situation, Ji Le felt an indescribable sense of tension in his heart.

"Yang Ke's kid is enterprising, ambitious and prosperous, and for me, there is only good and no harm. But the problem is that he is too proud, and he really offended the gods of the world, and the current population of my Huaxia lineage can't face the gods of the sky. ”

Now the arrogant capital of Los Angeles is Yang Ke, a demigod hero with unparalleled combat power. He can sweep a city-state by himself, even if the gods descend on the earth and are suppressed by the curse of the Earth Mother God, he can't easily defeat Yang Ke.

But—

Yang Ke is just one person after all.

"It is still necessary to pull a group, fight a group, and have some communication among the gods, which is in line with the interests of China. ”

Ji Le took the initiative to come to the Chengtian Temple to worship today, which was to give a signal. As long as it is beneficial to the Xia Kingdom, he doesn't mind honoring some native gods.

After the hasty sacrifice, Ji Le took the young man and Su Zhi back to the Yongle Palace.

On the way, the little witch was sullen, obviously unhappy with her highness's courtesy to those gods.

"Girl, I know you are unwilling, but what's the use of fighting for this moment?" Ji Le's eyes looked at the Chengtian Hall behind him: "If you want to fight, in this wild world, give me a thousand-year-old immortal Zhuxia civilization!"

What is it to be soft for a while? When Xia Guo recuperates and really has the ability to overthrow the gods, what does it matter if he replaces all these eight masters with his own people?

"What's more, I did use other people's things, and there is nothing bad to admit. Receiving the favor of the sun and moon gods, you must always give people a sacrifice. And God, as long as you breathe under this sky, can you bypass people?"

Ji Le sighed faintly and touched the back of Su Zhi's little girl's head: "In order to survive, you can fight and rob." But the favor of others must always be rewarded. ”

Ji Le's attitude towards the native gods is not repulsive.

If the local gods are kind to the Xia country, they will be worshiped and regarded as the righteous gods of the country. For example, a young god like Feng'e is the object of Ji Le's wooing.

And the existence of God's enmity with Xia must find an opportunity to settle the score. But at the same time, it must also be recognized. As the creator god and the founder of the world, God naturally owes the ancestors a favor.

Therefore, Ji Le wants to repay his kindness and revenge at the same time.

"If there is kindness and hatred, then repay the favor first, and then seek revenge. The righteousness of a gentleman, how can you care about some face?"

......

Ji Le's sacrifice was small in scale, just to show his attitude as a national spirit. But the few great gods who enjoyed the sacrifice were the first to notice the changes in the Xia Kingdom.

The clouds are high, and God still lives in seclusion in the temple. The temple is brilliant, the divine power is impressive, and many clouds and mist are exhaled from the temple, slowly flowing in the cloud realm, constituting the essence of the heavenly dome.

Regarding the sacrifice of the Xia Kingdom, it only made the clouds around the temple a wisp more, and there was no other effect.

Mother Earth has fallen for a thousand years, and now the gods don't even dare to be sure whether she is dead or not, and naturally they have no expression.

The essence of the sun god shines in the sky. Through the light, he casually glanced in the direction of Jiugong City, and then continued his journey to survey the heavens.

The deity who brings light to all beings, whether you hate it or love it, illumination has been His duty and mission since His birth. Some beings are grateful for this and are willing to offer Him an offering. Some creatures don't care and take everything for granted. And there are others who have malicious intentions towards it.

"But as the embodiment of light, no matter what life on earth thinks, I must always fulfill my mission. And this is the noble nature of the gods. ”

Not favoritism for small gains, this is the principle upheld by the Sun God. In the past, God commanded him to cut off the sun of the Xia Kingdom, making it a place of light and eternal darkness, but he did not obey. Now that Xia Guoling is willing to express his gratitude to him, he will not come to the gift either.

The footsteps of the sun never shift by personal will.

In comparison, the moon god's expression and mood are much richer.

After noticing that Xia Guo was sacrificing himself, the moon god showed a strange expression, and subconsciously looked at the temple of the god of war behind him: "If you had sacrificed earlier, you might have been able to reduce this disaster, but now ......"

Just now, he made an agreement with the Temple of the God of War.

At the cost of a certain concession from the Divine Court, in exchange for the God of War to continue to exert pressure on Great Xia and delay the development of the Xia Kingdom. At the same time, he was ready to order his own country to target the war against the Xia Kingdom and prevent the growth of the national spirit in the world.

"If you Xia Guo showed your attitude earlier, you would have expressed your due respect for the gods. And why should you be regarded as 'her' comrades? But it's too late now, and the things that the God of War has come up with this time are not easy to deal with. ”

When the moon god learned of the god of war's overall plan for the Xia Kingdom, he was even more shocked.

The investment in the Temple of the God of War is not large, but more to guide the human forces to complete the encirclement of the Xia Kingdom again and again. But if the God of War is really completed, it will not only allow the God of War to make a lot of money from the God of War Force and lay the foundation for becoming the main god, but also eliminate many forces in the world that disrespect the gods.

"For us gods, it is precisely for our interests to purge the spirits of the country and the earth. ”

The moon god's gaze fell into the world, and in the deep pit where the god of war had inserted the bronze spear, a small black beast slowly crawled out and headed in the direction of the Xia country......
