Chapter 312: New Heaven, Established!

[Yes, it is the New Heaven! ]

[Since the Heavenly Court is unwilling to provide the gods' protection to all living beings, then it has no need to exist for all living beings.]

[Indeed, what Taibai Xingjun said back then, "Heaven has no obligation to serve all living beings" is reasonable. A group of true gods who can live forever without the support of all living beings certainly have no such obligation. ]

[But this does not mean that there cannot be a heaven in the world that is willing to serve all living beings! ]

[You have already seen through the reality of the world and understood the correct way to pass the level, so the highest ideal of this round has naturally been established. ]

[Your highest ideal is to save all living beings! ]

[And in order to achieve this highest ideal, you must first lead people to serve all living beings, thereby accumulating incense and cultivating more true god-level combat power. ]

[So you just cater to the needs of sentient beings for gods: you want to serve sentient beings, and sentient beings also want to find a heaven that can serve them. The two hit it off and it can be said to be a two-way journey! ]

【So, the eight of you formed a de facto new heaven. 】

[However, you still adhere to your old habits: do not claim to be an emperor! ]

[You don’t want to be an emperor, nor do you want to be the emperor of heaven. ]

[The reason for this, in addition to your habit, is more to reduce the hostility from the old Heaven: there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, you can't guarantee whether Emperor Xue Xuan will allow the existence of another Emperor, so for the sake of safety, although you established the Heaven, you did not proclaim yourself the Emperor. ]

[So you still use the title of "General" and rule the three continents in the name of the general! ]

……

[In the first year of the New Heaven, eight true gods headed by you established the New Heaven and ruled over the three continents of the mortal world! ]

[You call yourself "General Chongtian", and the seven true gods including the monkey also have the title of "General". The eight generals together form the core of the first generation of the new heavenly court! ]

[The following year, General Chongtian personally led the army to attack Xiniu Hezhou, who had refused to submit to the king's rule! ]

[This time, you used the power of a true god to attack, and the countries of Xiniu Hezhou were finally unable to resist and were forced to surrender.]

[The eight major countries and seventeen small and medium-sized countries are all included in the new heavenly territory. You have filled in the last missing corner on the map. From now on, the four continents are finally unified! ]

[After the four continents are unified, you will issue an edict: From today on, people in all regions of the four continents must practice Shinto meditation, and meditation must be included in basic education.]

[As soon as this decree was issued, the four seas were in an uproar! ]

[Visualization method, that is visualization method! ]

[If you succeed in your cultivation, isn't there hope for you to become a god?! ]

[In the past, all countries banned the spread of visualization methods. The purpose was naturally to maintain the ruling status of a family. Therefore, ordinary people had no chance to see the methods of cultivation. As a result, most people lived their entire lives without knowing that they were living in an extraordinary world...]

[Now, the New Heavenly Court not only does not ban the visualization method, but also wants to spread it everywhere in the world... This is simply a plot that only appears in dreams! ]

[So, the people of Xiniu Hezhou who had just been recruited were originally resistant to the New Heavenly Court, and many civil organizations were still plotting some kind of "anti-Heavenly Court restoration" plan... Now, everyone's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. ]

[The leaders of various organizations tried their best to persuade them, but they still couldn't persuade them... The reason is very simple, because no one would leak the visualization method. Anyone who is motivated by self-interest will not allow others to gain the power and opportunity to challenge themselves.]

[Originally this was considered an unwritten rule, but now a selfless new heaven suddenly appeared and broke this unspoken rule, catching everyone off guard. They could only watch their own incense supplies being wasted...]

[Even Guangrun is a good thing. In order to show their loyalty to the New Heaven, many people who surrendered directly betrayed their own bosses and gangs: "General, their real bodies are hiding here!"]

【Wild Gods: ……】

[The wild gods among the people cursed the traitors and the New Heavenly Court’s anti-Heavenly policies, but no matter how much they cursed, it could not change the fact that the Heavenly Court’s iron fist hit them under the traitor’s report...]

[Soon, Xi Niu Hezhou completely surrendered. ]

[After Xi Niu Hezhou surrendered, this policy was gradually implemented under the watchful eyes of all living beings.]

[The visualization method has entered thousands of households, and a glimmer of hope for godhood is now before the eyes of all living beings! ]

[But everyone soon discovered that although this chance to become a god really existed, not everyone could grasp it...]

[Most people work themselves to death but still can’t achieve anything. It’s just like having no visualization method at all.]

[Only a small number of people are gifted and do not need to spend too much time practicing. They can directly condense into a Dharma image by practicing casually. ]

[One of them is in heaven, and the other is on earth. The gap between people is so huge that it is heartwarming...]

[So, amid the regretful, envious, jealous and hateful gazes of the majority of people, the few lucky ones were happily incorporated into the administrative system of the New Heavenly Court and were given official positions.]

【Afterwards, the New Heavenly Court appointed them to various places in the four continents to work on the governance of people's livelihood. The better they did, the more incense they received.】

[Under such encouragement, the heavenly officials worked diligently and used their divine powers to support the development of all living beings, thus making the four continents more and more prosperous...]

[Seeing such a grand scene, you can't help but have infinite hope and enthusiasm for the realization of great ideals in the future! ]

[The better people develop, the more incense they will generate, and the more true gods they will create in the future. Defeating the Heavenly Court may not be a very far-fetched thing...] [At the same time, you also carefully studied whether some of the things that Taibai Xingjun said back then were true.]

[He once said that the reason why the true God does not serve the human world is because he does not need incense and offerings... This statement has always made you doubtful, because you do not believe that the true God can create something out of nothing and be self-sufficient! ]

So you experimented with this...

[The result of the experiment is: yes and no. ]

[I say it is right because the true gods do not need incense to sustain themselves. From the moment they become gods, they are already immortal. Incense is meaningless to them. More incense will not make them stronger, and less incense will not make them old and die. It is dispensable.]

[The reason why it is wrong is that although the survival of the true god does not require the binding of incense, if the true god uses divine power, the consumption caused will not be restored out of nothing. ]

[In order to replenish the consumed divine power, incense is needed...]

[So for true gods, whether incense is important depends only on whether they frequently use their divine power. If they don’t use it very often, then it is not important. On the contrary, if it is used frequently, then it is very important. The more frequently it is used, the greater the demand! ]

[After verifying this truth, you will understand why Heaven is in such a mess: the biggest reason why Heaven doesn’t intervene is that there is no need…]

[What is the picture of becoming a god? 】

[The answer is clear: immortality and freedom! ]

[The gods do not have the great ideal of saving the world, so they will naturally try to reduce unnecessary troubles as much as possible after becoming gods. ]

[Maintain the underworld? Forget it, it's not good for me, why should I maintain it? ]

[Governing natural and man-made disasters? You are right, but what does this have to do with me? I did not cause the natural and man-made disasters, so why should I be in charge? ]

[The more incense is used, the more demand there is, the more trouble there is, and there is no benefit. ]

[If that’s the case, I might as well give up. I worked hard to become a god, not to be a slave! ]

[If I don't cause harm to the world, ordinary people will have to burn incense to express their gratitude...]

[This is roughly the way the Heavenly Court thinks. The people above and below are all slackers among slackers, with no ideals or aspirations, and everyone is a nobody.]

[But this does not mean they are wrong, because it is true. If there is no benefit, why would one want to be an ox or a horse? Is it true that one is born with the sacred body of an ox or a horse, and must suffer to feel good? ]

[If a person can endure hardship, then he will have endless suffering. The gods obviously understand this, so they collectively choose to start. Anyway, the current life has perfectly matched the dream, and there is no need to continue working hard...]

[But you are different. As the protagonist, your identity and mission determine that you cannot be satisfied with the status quo. You need to hold high the banner of the highest ideal and lead all the sentient beings struggling hard in this dream world to seek a future and a reality.]

[Indulging in the false status quo will only make you never complete your mission and never realize your ideal. The dream world cannot bring perfect happiness to all living beings. Only the so-called "eternal wilderness" can do that.]

[Every mortal can find hope for immortality there, instead of only a few lucky ones getting the chance of immortality as it is now.]

[Seeing this scene, although you are not a saint, you are willing to work hard for all living beings to achieve immortality! ]

[New Heaven will never give up! ]

[The highest ideal must be realized! ]

【…】

[Under your drastic changes, the world will naturally be in great turmoil! ]

[Such a violent commotion could not be hidden from the almighty Heaven.]

[After they observed curiously for a long time, their pupils shrank and they were horrified...]

[“Report! Report to the Heavenly Emperor, the lower world god Lin Liu has established his own Heavenly Court and called himself the Great General Chongtian. His rebellious nature has already been revealed! Please, Heavenly Emperor, quickly eliminate him and bring peace to Heavenly Court!”]

[Under the anxious report from the God of Report, the gods looked at each other in bewilderment: What's going on? We've all become gods, and we still encounter rebellion?! ]

[The Emperor of Heaven sat on the throne and pondered for a moment while reporting...]

[He thought for a moment: "Did Lin Liu claim to be emperor?"]

[“That…is not the case…”]

[“Then, how many true gods does he have?”]

[“Including him, there are… a total of eight people…”]

【Oh, that's fine. 】

[The Emperor of Heaven doesn't care: Keep playing the music, keep dancing! ]

[“Don’t worry about him!”]
