The chaos in the city continues.

But Zhang Ke, after integrating the leylines of this place into the Divine Seal, turned around and stepped on Lu Ju's dragon chariot, letting the latter carry him around.

In this regard, Lu Juan has no objection.

Although he came with a mission, if you put aside the embarrassment of the Tang Dynasty, Middle-earth, which has now been broken its backbone, is the best to recover, and it can be taken without war, without spending a single soldier.

As for the conundrum of governance.

You'll have to fight it down first.

What's more, as the saying goes: if you can't resist, it's better to try to enjoy... It's a little quirky, but it means a little bit.

In the case of being unable to stop Zhang Ke, Lu Juan had no choice but to watch the joy of conquest.

The carriage, driven by two dragon horses, began to gallop through the skies of Middle-earth—they did not hide their presence, and the mortals below could see their presence as soon as they looked up.

However, even if Lu Juan made a move, it covered up part of his divine power and momentum.

It's not good for mortals to stare all the time.

Being intimidated by the power of God is one thing, the key is to look up and you will always see the sun, do you want your eyes after a long time?

In contrast, except for those who can't manifest in the daytime, the monsters have no worries... However, if you can see it, you can see it, and whether you dare or not is the key.

Basically, except for those indigenous gods and wild gods who wanted to give Zhang Kejin authority, the other demons and monsters just glanced at it and lowered their heads and hid back in the cave.

In this regard, Zhang Ke didn't pay too much attention to it, he was so busy, where did he have time to appease these little monsters, in fact, if it wasn't for the appearance of Lu Ju, I was worried that this old guy would have a long night dream.

He should be in the rear now.

Appeasing the demons and gathering authority from the native gods are all things that vulture kings are supposed to do.

Where is it like now, do it yourself.

However, with him on the horse, he is also fast, and he doesn't need to waste his tongue to take the leylines into his arms.

And out of the Yumen Pass, left the Kyushu mainland.

From the Western Regions, to Middle-earth, and even more far-reaching to the Far West, whether these lands are barren or rich, it is a common label that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there may be only one small town within a radius of 100 miles, even if the city and the surrounding areas live, the population living in them is only tens of thousands.

The narrow scope of human life does not mean that in the wild, demons and monsters can prevail.

It is not easy for ordinary beings to enlighten their spirits and transform into demons.

In addition, most of the gods here are obsessed with collecting believers and lighting divine fires to achieve belief in gods, and authority is not a very favored choice in their eyes.

So, the gods are either busy fighting for faith or focusing on multiplying humanity.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to deign to help himself.

The leylines of mountains and rivers are unattended, and the spiritual wit is barren and turbid, putting another layer of shackles on the demons that are already difficult to be born.

The gods don't like it, and the demons are scarce, which makes most of the land borderless, except for those famous mountains and rivers, which greatly changes Zhang Ke's focus.

It took only two days to take authority from the hands of the indigenous gods.

But the subsequent annexation of the borderlands took him nearly a month.

But even if he annexed Middle Earth and gathered the authority of tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the growth of strength still did not break through the threshold of [Second Grade] as Zhang Ke expected, and even the distance between the gods and the second rank was still a thin line.

Zhang Ke frowned and looked up to the west.

And at the end of his vision, a mountain was floating in the clouds.

At the foot of the mountain is a verdant, green forest of weeds and shrubs, dotted with brightly colored flowers.

The higher you go, the sparser the vegetation becomes, replaced by buildings, houses, pavilions, churches, and stone-paved paths, all made of pure white stone, with numerous statues and frescoes carved on the surface.

Even on a clear day,

The entire building on the mountain emitted a soft and holy white glow, and at the top of the hill where the light was most intense, in a wide square, hundreds of stern-looking angels with weapons in hand were waiting in formation.

And above the heads of the angels, three figures with the same wings but strange appearances were suspended.

The first is a monster with four heads - a man, a cow, an eagle, and a lion with four heads crammed into one shoulder, and three pairs of wings emerge from under the shoulders and are connected to each other. The legs are straight, and the soles of the feet are like ox's hooves.

In its body and wings, flames and thunder intertwined.

In the middle are a number of wheels set together, each wheel is covered with eyes, and the core in the middle is a huge one-eyed.

Finally, there are three pairs of wings stacked on top of each other and full of eyes.

They are the Angel of Wisdom, the Angel of Seat, and another Seraph.

Three high-level angels, with an army of hundreds of ordinary angels, even pulled a mountain, in order to prevent themselves from beating over, this configuration is really grand enough.

It's almost pouring out.

But it's not that you can't fight.

Zhang Ke's eyes froze slightly, and with the change of his mind, the originally gentle breeze between heaven and earth instantly became extremely manic.

"Don't do it yet!"

At this time, Lu Juan beside him quickly hugged Zhang Ke.

"The January period has arrived, the army has returned to Chang'an, and the festival of sacrificing prisoners to the heavens is just around these days, but you must not miss it!"

"It's okay, I'll be fast, just wait a minute!"

Zhang Ke spoke softly, he was going to try the catties on the opposite side first.

If it goes well, the only thing that stands in front of him will be their gods.

Let's talk about it if it doesn't go well.

You can't let them "show off" in front of you for so many days without any reaction at all.

Moreover, the reason that prevented him from continuing to be promoted was also very simple, because the place occupied by Zhang Ke now, the Western Regions, Tubo and even Middle Earth were all vast and sparsely populated, with few living beings, and the most important thing was that the mountains and rivers were barren... If you want to crack the easiest way, precipitate for decades.

While regulating the leylines, the people of the Tang Dynasty have also alternated generations, which is enough to fill the vacancy he needs.

Authority promotion comes naturally.

It's just that Zhang Ke is too lazy to wait, not to mention, my neighbor's grain and my gun... At this time, the good neighbors of the angel just happened to be able to help, borrowing him a hundred miles of land, and waiting for Zhang Ke to achieve a qualitative change with quantitative change.

After crossing the threshold, come to the door to repay in person!

It's really fast.

Lu Juan rolled his eyes and muttered in his heart.

But if these angels fail to stop you, they will be able to reach heaven at dawn tomorrow, and if the god inside is weaker, I'm afraid... You've done all the work of expanding your territory.

The generals of the entire Tang Dynasty probably couldn't imagine that the reason why they lost their jobs was because the gods were too capable.

Lu Juan put away the complicated thoughts in his heart, took out a picture scroll from his arms, and sighed lightly:

"It's not that I, Lu Ju, want to hold you back, it's just Middle-earth, this extreme western land really can't be beaten!

It seems that I can't persuade you, but you can't ignore the emperor's words, right?"

As he spoke, he opened the scroll, and the statue of Emperor Xiyue was painted inside.

As soon as the picture scroll was opened, a strong smell of incense permeated from it.

I saw that the emperor blinked smartly, and then the portrait broke free from the shackles of the paper, walked out of the scroll, and fell to the ground from a plane to a whole.

In the distance, the gaze lingered for a moment on the shining mountain, and a sneer of disdain flashed across his face.

Then he turned his head to look at Zhang Ke.

Well?

Good guy, I haven't paid attention to it for a month, and I've grown to this point, no wonder Lu Juan didn't bring people back for a long time, and he took out this picture scroll.

Facing Zhang Ke, he was puzzled at this time

With a slightly puzzled gaze, the emperor pondered for a while and said:

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't obstruct your progress, but now the holy decree of the gods has been prepared, and it has also passed through the heavenly court, and the emperor of heaven has also left a seal on it."

"If you conquer Tibet and Middle Earth, you should be crowned emperor, but once you come to Chrysostom and Yuyan, you can't change the order overnight; Second, to add another god position that has been recognized by heaven and earth, first the Tang Emperor must give a report to heaven and earth, and then the Emperor of Heaven will give an order to Houtu."

"Names, powers, palaces, gods...... None of this can be done overnight."

After this explanation, Zhang Ke probably understood.

In general, just three words: go through the process!

Of course, it's not the process of delegating each other and kicking the ball.

Each of these steps has its own necessity.

It's like a god, if it weren't for the barren land of the Western Regions and Tubo, and the lack of indicators for the newly recovered land, Zhang Ke could leave it alone, just the various chores on weekdays would be enough to tie him up, and even day and night might not be able to finish it.

Godly beings, although they have to take away some authority, they also leave the same trivial matters to them.

Moreover, the authority is only given to them to use, and it is not like Zhang Ke seizing the authority of the indigenous gods, changing ownership.

The authority is the same, such as the Xiyue Emperor, who is in charge of hardware at the same time, war and birds in the world.

If Zhang Ke is sealed, in addition to the mountains and rivers and leylines that he was originally in charge of, as well as the netherworld, he will also assume some other authority, and these powers are not out of thin air.

This brings to other deities.

Only when authority is determined can there be a name and something else.

The ceremony of sealing is precisely the simplest and most trouble-free part of all links.

It's cumbersome, time-consuming, and involves interdivine relationships...

This is also the reason why Lu Ju persuaded Zhang Ke to stop first and go to Chang'an to receive the holy decree.

Even if it is just a meeting, many things will be easy to deal with in the future, but on the contrary, it will cause misunderstanding if you keep staying here and stumbling with the angels.

After all, his merits were higher than those of the gods, and no matter how eager he was, it seemed that he was forcing Heaven and the Tang Dynasty......

"The key is that I also have selfish intentions, if I am crowned king first, you are still under my command, and when the time comes, I can also send you back here again, without delay."

"But if you ascend to the sky in one step, then you will return to the emperor, the queen of heaven, and the two emperors......
