Huang Long looked at Houtu excitedly: "Ninth brother, he didn't die?"

Hou Tu said: "The Black Dragon Quasi-Saint is indeed not dead, but he is not alive either. ”

"What's going on?" Huang Long asked.

Hou Tu said: "Back then, the Black Dragon Daoist was injured by the Kunpeng Daoyou, his life was dying, and at a critical juncture, a little of his deity will was thrown into the earth, and it happened that the Wu Clan was collecting the turbidity of the earth with the Ancestral Witch Palace, but it was the remnant soul that saved the Black Dragon Daoyou. Heaven has the virtue of good life, so our clan will use the turbidity of the earth to recast the body of the black dragon Taoist friend, repair the soul, as long as there are one or two hundred more tribulation time, the black dragon Taoist friend can be reborn. ”

After listening to Houtu's words, Huanglong solemnly bowed to Houtu and said, "Houtu is a great virtue, and my dragon clan will never forget." ”

Houtu stopped Huang Long and said: "Don't say that, Huanglong Daoyou, whether Heilong Daoyou can escape the death disaster is still between the two." ”

Huang Long arrived: "Could it be that there are any difficulties?"

Houtu said lightly: "There is no difficulty, but whether the black dragon can be reborn or not, it all depends on his luck, good luck, rebirth is not hindered, bad luck, we have no power to return to the sky." ”

"Luck?" Huang Long looked at Houtu, he understood what Houtu meant.

The so-called luck, in fact, is to look at Huanglong himself, if Huanglong insists on fighting with Houtu for the position of Jade Emperor, that is to be the enemy of the Wu Clan, then the Wu Clan will naturally not save the enemy of the Wu Clan, if Huang Long gives up competing for the Jade Emperor, then the Wu Clan will go all out to only the Black Dragon.

Huang Long's heart was entangled, on the one hand, the interests of the demon clan, and on the other hand, the brothers and sisters, he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Di Jun sighed and said, "Yellow Dragon." ”

Huang Long heard Di Jun shouting to himself, and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty." ”

"This Jade Emperor dispute, you dragon clan give up. Emperor Jun said: "It's just the position of a Jade Emperor, how can it be compared to the life of a quasi-saint of my demon clan, and even if Houtu Daoyou is not the Jade Emperor, she is not far from being a sub-saint, this Jade Emperor's merit is just for her to achieve a sub-saint a few years earlier." ”

Hearing Di Jun say this, Huang Long breathed a sigh of relief, he found that he was really not good at making a decision, no matter how he chose, he couldn't pass the level in his heart, and now Di Jun helped him make a decision, which really made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Emperor Jun said: "Houtu Daoyou, you won, you have proved with your own actions that you are indeed qualified and have the ability to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court, and the next Jade Emperor will be handed over to Daoyou." ”

Di Jun saw that in order to compete for the position of the Jade Emperor, Houtu began to lay out from the time when the ancestral dragon and ancestral phoenix competed, and every step of the plan was wonderful, which really proved that Houtu was a qualified emperor.

"I will definitely live up to the trust of my friends, and I will do my best and die. "Houtu Zhengse.

"May the Taoist friends prove the avenue as soon as possible. Di Jun said.

"Congratulations to the friends of Houtu Dao and ascend to the throne. "Whether the strong people of all ethnic groups in the flood wilderness want it or not, the general trend of the Houtu has been achieved, and the succession of the Jade Emperor has become the general trend.

The third Jade Emperor of the Honghuang - Houtu, the ancestor of the Wu clan, ascended the throne.

Houtu is the Jade Emperor, in order to show respect for the first two Jade Emperors, Houtu did not give himself the name of God, but exercised the power of the Jade Emperor with his original priesthood, so the honorific title of Honghuang - Chengtian imitated the Houtu Emperor Di.

The first thing Hou Tu did when he ascended the throne was to divide the powers of the heavenly court priesthood in detail, subdivide the power into people, and unify the powers and responsibilities.

At the top of the Heavenly Court, Houtu subdivided the scope of power, and the affairs of the demon clan were basically handed over to the demon clan.

However, Houtu played a heart, and Houtu divided the demon clan into five major insect genera: scales, hair, feathers, wins, and Kun.

Scale insects refer to snakes, jiao, fish, lizards, and demon tribes with fleshy wings, caterpillars refer to the vein of beasts, feather insects refer to feathered birds and demon tribes, winning insects are also called insects, referring to turtles, frogs and other demon tribes with nails, shells or hairless, and insects refer to ants, bees, spiders and other insects.

Then, when Houtu divided the power of the priesthood, the four royal families led the five insects respectively.

Among them, the patriarch of the dragon clan, Huang Long, took over the ancestral dragon priesthood, was the god of Meng Zhang, and was the head of the demon clan's scale insects.

The patriarch of the Lin clan, Bai Hu, took over the priesthood of the Lin clan and served as the god of the overseer, and was the chief of the demon clan's caterpillars.

The patriarch of the Feng clan, Suzaku, took over the ancestral phoenix priesthood and served as the Lingguang Shenjun, the chief of the demon clan's feather insects.

Xuanwu, the patriarch of the turtle clan, took over the position of Xuanwu Turtle and served as the god of the Ming Dynasty, and was the head of the demon clan.

In addition, the golden cicada quasi-saint is the chief of insects.

Since the dragon and phoenix tribulation, the strength of the various ethnic groups of the demon clan has increased a lot, and the new Daluo is basically all non-royal clans, plus the fall of the ancestors such as the ancestral dragon, the retreat of the retreat, the control of the demon clan over the demon clan has been greatly attenuated, especially after the demon clan has appeared a few acquired quasi-saints, they have really gathered a group of Daluo powerhouses under their command. These acquired quasi-saints only obeyed the orders of Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, Nuwa and other ancestors, and they were not so respectful to the second-generation royal quasi-saints such as Huanglong.

Houtu's hand is very beautiful, ostensibly using the authority of the heavenly court to endorse the four royal families of the demon clan and help them stabilize their rule, but it also buries hidden dangers.

The five insects of the demon clan basically have their royal family, but it is impossible for a certain insect and demon clan to obey the orders of a certain royal family, and such a division of power and responsibility in the Houtu will inevitably cause conflicts between the royal families, especially the Gouchen Jinwu and Qilin lines.

In the past, some ethnic groups led by the Niu clan were attached to Gou Chen, but now they are classified as caterpillars by Houtu, and they are under the command of the Lin clan, and the Gou Chen line is completely hollow.

You must know that the emperor Jun of the Gouchen Jinwu clan was the former Jade Emperor, and Houtu did this, so it was naturally the idea of eliminating the influence of the previous Jade Emperor.

Regarding Houtu's arrangement, Baihu trembled and came to ask Di Jun, saying that if Di Jun agreed, the four royal families would refuse Houtu's appointment.

Di Junhun didn't care, let the white tiger take his life with peace of mind.

After the white tiger left, Taiyi said angrily: "Big brother, this mother-in-law of Houtu is obviously uneasy and kind. ”

"It doesn't matter. Di Jun smiled faintly: "Houtu wants to empty my Jinwu clan and eliminate my influence, but I don't know that this is right under my arms." ”

"What do you mean by this, big brother?"

Di Jun sighed: "The seven royal families of the demon clan, the nine ancestors, Zhu Yan died early, the ancestral dragon and the ancestral phoenix fell, Fu Xi was convicted by the Yuan Shi Sage, the future is worrying, the remaining successors, the lord of Lin is united, the Xuan turtle retreats, Nuwa only cares about cultivation, and now the only people who can stand in front of the stage to support the demon clan are you and my brothers." As the leader of the demon clan, the power of the Wujin Crow is weak, so only by acting impartially can the hearts of the demon clan be gathered, and the vassal groups of the Wujin Crow vein will be swept away, just so that the Wujin Crow can treat the demon clans more neutrally and objectively. ”

Taiyi thought for a while and said, "What the eldest brother said is very true, but Houtu calculates the eldest brother like this, how can he bear this tone?"

Emperor Jun said: "The Emperor's Avenue is the way of rule, the way of politics, Houtu is so kind to you and my brother, although it is a provocation, but it is also within the rules of the Emperor's Avenue, I naturally have to return it by the means of the Emperor's Avenue." ”

Taiyi: "What should I do, big brother just ask." ”

Emperor Jun said: "Second brother, your top priority is to prove the Emperor's Great Road as soon as possible and take back the position of the Jade Emperor from Houtu, as for the rest, my brother will deal with it." ”

"Yes, big brother. "Taiyi.

Although Taiyi agreed, he was especially angry in his heart, he looked faintly in the direction of the heavenly court in the dojo Tang Gu, but he had quietly spread the voice for thousands of miles: "Poor Qi, gluttony, chaos, Han Zhu, come to Tang Gu to receive the order." ”

Qi Qi and the other four newly promoted Heavenly Quasi-Saints heard the Ancestor Taiyi's greetings, and they didn't dare to slack off, and they went to Tanggu one after another.

Not to mention how Taiyi gave the four quasi-saints a good time, but said that after she finished dividing the central functions and powers of the Heavenly Court, she began to rectify the grassroots political power of the Heavenly Court.

At the base level of the Heavenly Court, Houtu takes the Immortal City as the unit and sets up the City God Division, with the chief official being the City God, and the grade of the City God ranges from the fourth-grade immortal official in the Taiyi Realm to the nine-rank immortal official in the Divine Realm.

Each Chenghuang Division is responsible for the management of Xiancheng and its surrounding areas, and the Chenghuang has the power to decide on the affairs of Xiancheng and the surrounding areas, and the Chenghuang has the power to take full responsibility for his own decisions.

Under the City God, there are nine clerical systems:

Land: Manage the living creatures in the territory.

Mountain God: Manage mountain and river mineral deposits.

River God: Manages rivers, lakes and seas, and also serves as a land officer in the area of the priesthood.

Door God: In charge of the army, responsible for the conquest.

Stove God (Stove Prince): Responsible for alchemy refiners.

God of Wealth: Responsible for the finances of Chenghuang.

Sun Wandering God: Supervising the monks in the territory is against the rules of heaven.

Night Wanderer: Oversees all clergy under the command of the City God.

Judge: Judge those who violate the rules of heaven reported by the wandering gods day and night.

It is worth mentioning here that Houtu separated the supervision and trial powers of the day and night wandering gods, and set up a special judge priesthood to be responsible for the trial. In this way, the two prominent priesthoods of the day and night wandering gods in the Emperor Jun period became weakened, and the priesthood of the judge sprung up, and later became the deputy of the city god, ranking first among the nine officials.

Houtu did this, mainly due to the influence of Houyi, who only looked at the situation and did not look at the situation, affected a large number of day and night wandering gods, causing the monks of all ethnic groups in the flood famine, and Houtu did this in order to relieve the grievances of the monks of all ethnic groups in the flood famine.

In addition to dividing the duties and powers of the day and night wandering gods, Houtu also redefined the Zongbu god that Emperor Jun once sealed Hou Yi from, and ascended and descended secretly, transferring Hou Yi from the Heavenly Court Night Wandering God Division.

There is a supervisor who is directly responsible for the city god, and there are several levels of officials under the supervisor, among which the three priesthoods of the land, mountain gods, and river gods have the most immortal officials, who are responsible for managing mountain groups, mountain ranges, and mountain peaks at all levels.

All immortals perform their duties, and the superior immortals can manage the subordinate immortals, if there is a competent person, they can recommend a promotion to the superior, and if they are incompetent, they can ask the superior to recall, but in any case, they must not interfere with the exercise of authority by the subordinate immortals. That is, clergy at all levels are strictly forbidden to interfere in the affairs of other clergy.

The nine priesthoods at the grassroots level and the city god are collectively known as the one official and nine officials, and constitute the basic power of the heavenly court in the flood famine.
