Chapter 184: After years of planning, it finally came to the fore
As Fang Han released his breath, the Nixian River stopped flowing in front of him and flowed back.

The Immortal Venerable suddenly regained some clarity and was no longer frantic: "Alright, alright, you can take over my job, and you can also take on the black mud, so all living beings can have a break."

He took out the divine office from the stone heart and looked up to the sky: "I was selfish and made mistakes. What a pity..."

Before he could finish saying what he regretted, he turned into a point of light and disappeared, leaving only a cracked stone heart.

He gathered the divine aura and slowly grasped it in his hand, feeling the faint aura coming from the divine power and the surrounding black mud, and laughed loudly: "Master Bodhi, if you don't show up, when will you show up?"

Suddenly, the wind stopped, the water stopped, the world became quiet, and a figure in a green robe slowly emerged.

Seeing the doubtful looks of Sanzang and Fang Han, Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly, and then various colored divine lights appeared, turning into a swan and landing behind him.
A golden-robed deity with a youthful face came riding on a golden light, a black-robed, long-haired Buddha sat on a dancing black lotus, a Taoist with an immortal air turned into a phantom behind Gu Qingyuan, and there were countless sentient beings, some were temple priests, some were monks, and some were farmers, all of them appeared in the hustle and bustle.

First, the divine man took a step, and then the Buddha moved and merged with Gu Qingyuan, disappearing, leaving only a Taoist in a green robe.

"Dan Xiu, Gu Qingyuan, or you can call me Bodhi or Wu Tian." Gu Qingyuan said softly.

"This must be your true form, Master. It seems like you really did lie to me that day." Fang Han said with a look of fear. He had never seen this man clearly before. He didn't know what he wanted, nor did he know his true intentions. It was as if he was shrouded in a hazy fog.

"If I didn't lie, how could you break free from that so-called cage? You should know that you have as many tricks up your sleeve as Sanzang has. I have removed them all for you. You don't come to thank me, but instead blame me, right?" Gu Qingyuan said with a smile.

Fang Han was silent for a moment: "I feel that the mutual attraction between this priesthood and the black mud is probably also the method of the ancestor, right?"

"That's right. Don't you want eternal life? I will transform your body for you, and wait for you to integrate the divine position and take on the black mud. Unless the world is destroyed, you can achieve eternal life." Gu Qingyuan looked like he was doing this for your own good.

Sanzang bowed his head and said, "May I ask what the Buddha is asking for?"

"It's useless to discuss what I want with you," Gu Qingyuan waved his hand and looked up at the sky, "I've been watching for so long, it's time to fulfill my promise, right?"

As Gu Qingyuan spoke, white air in the sky flowed and intertwined with each other, and then a square monument fell down, but with one corner missing.

Gu Qingyuan picked up the stone heart left by the Immortal Venerable, took most of it, and filled the four-sided stele. He looked at Sanzang and the other two and said, "The incense and fire divine way is too deeply intertwined with the heaven and earth. It is too big to be removed. The heavenly law transformed by the might of heaven and earth is unable to expel it. So the heaven asked me to help him."

"Although the incense and fire gods are the source, their foundation lies in the heavenly rules. The heavenly rules are the laws of heaven and earth, and they govern all living things. However, they have been set since ancient times and have never been changed. They are rigid and inflexible, and inevitably have omissions. They cannot deal with the incense and fire difficulties caused by the splitting of the gods by the immortals." Sanzang asked: "Since the Buddha is entrusted by heaven and earth, I believe there must be a way?"

"It's not like there is a way. The heaven and earth have long intended to change the heavenly laws. But the heavenly laws are the foundation of this world. It's not easy to change them. It takes years. In fact, if you wait a few more years, the new heavenly laws should have come into being. I just checked for deficiencies and gave it a push." ​​Gu Qingyuan patted the four-sided stele and looked at the two of them.

"You two are the judicial gods I have chosen, with the power to determine the laws of heaven. Generally speaking, the laws of heaven are correct, but they must be confined within a framework. As the world changes, adjustments and changes must be made. I call them supplementary clauses and judicial interpretations. You will do this job in the future, working specifically for heaven and earth."

Sanzang was silent for a moment: "This is just a change of the basics, but the hearts of people in the lower world are hard to predict. Immortals and Buddhas cause disasters, and demons and ghosts are useless in troubled times. I'm sorry that Sanzang can't obey your order."

"I know you have seen too many injustices and have caused endless killings. There is a resentment in your heart that has not been expressed, but this resentment does not come from your heart, but from all living beings. I also know that you originally planned to wipe out all the immortals and Buddhas in the world, seek death and nirvana, so that there will be no immortals and Buddhas in the world, and mortals can break free from their constraints." Gu Qingyuan pointed out. Fang Han looked at Sanzang in surprise. Sanzang was speechless, but he had this idea.

"It's just that your idea is too extreme. I remember telling you that equality of all beings is a lie. Not to mention how many immortals and Buddhas will be born with the incense and the gods, even if there are no gods and Buddhas, mortals will also have their own status. You also know how fierce the infighting among mortals is." Gu Qingyuan said.

Sanzang nodded. This was what he was struggling with.

"You have walked into a dead end. In essence, it is the mixed wishes of people that lead to the residual poison of incense. You just need to cut off the incense method to alleviate some of the problems. As for the rest, let the mortals choose for themselves! After all, the world here is full of spiritual energy, and one can ascend to become an immortal and become a Buddha. You can't block the opportunity for advancement of all living beings, right? A pool of stagnant water is not a good thing. Life will seek a way out on its own, even if it leaves the last drop of blood." Gu Qingyuan explained.

"Cut off the incense practice method, is this something that can be done by human power?" Sanzang looked at Gu Qingyuan in surprise.

Gu Qingyuan looked at Fang Han, "As for you, you were manipulated by the Immortal Venerable, and you suffered a lot in your past life. You lost your emotions and turned into a demon. This is your choice, and I will not interfere. You said that you only love yourself and not others, which means that your heart still has some warmth. Why don't you separate yourself from all living beings and try to love this world? The skill I taught you is the way to forget emotions, which is in line with your own. You will become the God of Justice, not bound by the life and death of one person, but only care about the survival of the world. You will watch the world ruthlessly and calm the mountains and rivers with affection. You will get the name of the Great Love Immortal Venerable, step into the road of immortality, and be immortal with the world. Isn't it in line with what you want?"

After saying that, Gu Qingyuan looked at the two of them: "You two are the gods of justice that I have appointed. You have both good and evil sides. Sanzang has the good of compassion for all living beings, but he is trapped by the life and death of one person. Fang Han has the evil of indifference to all living things, but he has the great good of heaven and earth. Good and evil blend together. One of you controls the upper limit, and the other locks the lower limit. Watching him compete with hundreds of boats in the current, watching him compete for freedom in the frosty sky, isn't it a pleasure?"

"It's up to you to choose. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. I have a backup plan. You can think about it. I will first clear the poison from the world." Gu Qingyuan patted the four-sided stele and looked up at the sky. "Release the authority of the world. It's time for me to collect my reward!"

As the white air in the sky flowed, Gu Qingyuan flew up.

On earth, all living beings who had just calmed down from the panic of night turning into light saw a huge black sun slowly covering the scorching sun in the sky. There were countless intricate golden patterns inside, guarded by a circle of golden flames, and it gushed out endless black air, turning the sky and the earth dark.

Steal the sky and change the day.
