"The Northern Qi revered the gods most, but who would have thought that the gods would descend upon the Southern Qing!"
Kneeling on the second floor, Fan Xian slapped his forehead and immediately understood everything.
He didn't believe in the nonsense about gods descending to earth; wasn't that just something the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had already done?
Wait a minute, there was no Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in this era; Li Chang'an was the first to create one!
This is shameless! It's one thing to copy poems, but they even copied shamanistic rituals!
Suddenly, a person next to Fan Xian knelt down and shouted exaggeratedly!
"The descent of the gods is a great blessing, a blessing for the whole world!"
This man is none other than Xin Qiwu, a fourth-rank official in the imperial court and the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial!
Immediately afterwards, Guo Baokun on the other side also knelt down tremblingly.
"The gods descended upon Daqing, and Guo happened to be there..."
Then, the outermost imperial guards and eunuchs knelt down in a dense, dark mass.
Then, the officials of Nanqing also knelt down and shouted that the gods had descended to earth and the world was blessed!
The second prince raised an eyebrow, secretly gave a thumbs-up, and then obediently knelt down.
The Crown Prince's gaze was burning; Prince Yong's acting was so superb, we could be kindred spirits!
Moreover, he guessed why Emperor Qing had Li Chang'an preside over the ceremony; it had nothing to do with the throne.
Finally relieved, the crown prince obediently knelt down.
After that, the delegations from Northern Qi and Dongyi City all knelt down in a rush!
Besides those who were threatened, there were also many genuine believers in deities who truly believed in the trick of being possessed by a deity.
The last three standing were Li Yunrui, Zhuang Mohan, and Yun Zhilan.
Li Yunrui gritted his teeth and, though extremely unwilling, knelt down before his brother.
By now, she had figured out most of the story. This must be a trick played by Emperor Qing and Prince Yong!
Speaking in the voice of a descended deity, it is stated that Li Chang'an is the one with the Heavenly Vein, which is far more authoritative than the one with the Heavenly Vein title bestowed by Ku He in Northern Qi.
The members of the Northern Qi delegation were all sweating profusely. Li Chang'an was a Heavenly Vein Being, so what was the Holy Maiden?
The title of Haitang was bestowed by the Northern Qi dynasty itself, but Li Chang'an was revealed by a divine intervention!
Zhuang Mohan felt bitter inside. Li Chang'an was a genius, so why was he born into the royal family and involved in all this superstitious stuff?
However, in order to successfully deal with Fan Xian later, he obediently knelt down.
Now, only Yun Zhilan is standing below. "I never expected that the Qing Kingdom would pull such a trick."
Emperor Qing, who had left the palace incognito with Hong Sixiang, eavesdropped on everything from a corner.
"Si Gu Jian's disciple is quite arrogant!"
Emperor Qing always left the palace incognito because he feared Wu Zhu and Barrett.
As soon as Yun Zhilan finished speaking, the three priests leaped up simultaneously, and their three palms instantly attacked Yun Zhilan.
"Oh!"
Yun Zhilan's true energy surged, intending to fight these three.
However, they discovered that when the three joined forces, their true energy was completely fused together, making them seem like one person!
This strange combination of martial arts techniques greatly surprised Yun Zhilan!
"You audacious madman, kneel down at once!"
The three high priests of the ninth rank roared in unison, forcing Yun Zhilan to kneel down!
The three high priests subdued Yun Zhilan and then returned to the Circular Mound Altar, where they knelt before Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an kept his eyes closed and continued reciting his lines.
“I have heard your eulogies. With peace and tranquility restored, I am greatly comforted.”
"However, the world will eventually unite after a long period of division. Only when the world is unified and the people are of one mind will there be true peace and stability."
Upon hearing these two sentences, all the officials of Nanqing understood.
This divine descent is to pave the way for future unification of the world.
From this day forward, the Southern Qing's mission to annihilate the Northern Qi and the Eastern Yi, and to unify the world, is to accept a divine decree!
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince secretly admired His Majesty's brilliant move!
Through the words of the gods, neither the Northern Qi nor the Eastern Yi could refute it!
The members of the Northern Qi delegation were all inwardly groaning, and the devout ones were even more shaken.
Unify the world? That means Nanqing will still attack us in the future!
Li Chang'an's "divine pronouncements" continue.
"My divine sense has just seen the whole world. Two hundred thousand years have passed, and life has returned to the world, with virtuous and righteous people everywhere."
"The trend of unification of the world has already emerged. You should unite sincerely and create a prosperous era together. I can now return to heaven with peace of mind."
"From this day forward, the one celestial being I possess will preach the Way in my stead. All of us gods will no longer descend to the mortal realm!"
After saying this, Li Chang'an's stiff body fell backward again.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chang'an suddenly woke up, his face filled with astonishment.
"High Priests, my mind suddenly went blank just now!"
"What exactly happened?"
Chapter 99 Fan Xian was almost crippled by the Iron Prime Minister! Wu Zhu pierced the heart of the Thirteenth Prince! (23)
Among the Northern Qi delegation, apart from a small number who genuinely admired them, most people cursed them inwardly.
The last two sentences of the oracle stated that Li Chang'an was the only one with the Heavenly Vein, and that the gods would no longer descend to the mortal realm.
This means that Haitang Duoduo is a fake and is not a Celestial Vein Attendant at all!
Moreover, the gods will no longer descend to the mortal realm. Not only will this particular god not descend, but other gods will not descend either!
The Northern Qi dynasty wanted to follow suit, but it couldn't.
Fan Xian was secretly amazed; Li Chang'an had summoned a deity and absorbed the lessons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Otherwise, after the Father descended to earth, the Brother would also descend to earth.
In the end, a god would descend to earth every other day, and several gods would descend in turn.
With Li Chang'an saying this, no matter how much the Northern Qi dynasty struggled, it was all a fake.
Looking at Li Chang'an's bewildered expression, the Crown Prince secretly admired him greatly; what excellent acting skills!
The high priest patiently explained to Li Chang'an how the divine oracle had spoken.
Hidden in the shadows, Emperor Qing nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad! You recited it word for word!"
Hong Sixiang said in a deep voice, "From now on, the Northern Expedition of Daqing will be carried out in accordance with the will of Heaven, and there will be no need to find reasons for the Northern Expedition anymore."
Emperor Qing said with a smile, "Then we must first kill Ku He and Si Gu Jian, and then there will be no more obstacles to unifying the world!"
Hong Sixiang asked, "Will His Majesty appear at the temple to see off the delegation?"
Emperor Qing thought of Wu Zhu and Barrett, but shook his head. "Forget it, I'll just observe from the shadows."
"Tell them that I need to study the divine oracle carefully, and that I will suspend court for three days and not see any outsiders."
Emperor Qing had already thought of this reason; he would never leave the palace in his public capacity.
Wu Zhu is nearby. Who knows if he has regained his memory? Once Wu Zhu regains his memory, we must kill him.
At the Qing Temple, the sacrificial ceremony concluded successfully. The people of Nanqing were overjoyed, while the people of the other two countries were depressed.
The group proceeded to the front hall, where a farewell banquet had been prepared for the delegations from both countries.
The second prince walked beside Li Chang'an, recounting what had just happened with great enthusiasm.
"Uncle Yong, you don't know, you were just possessed by a god!"
"The gods have said that you are the only one in the world with the Heavenly Vein, and the gods will never descend to earth again!"
Li Chang'an seemed to wake from a dream, his face filled with shock and confusion, "Huh? I'm actually a Celestial Vein user!"
The second prince said, "Yes, you have been exceptionally talented since childhood, excelling in poetry, calligraphy, and painting!"
"If he weren't a Celestial Vein user, how could he possibly possess such earth-shattering talent!"
As Li Chengze spoke, he almost convinced himself that Prince Yong might really be a Heavenly Vein Being!
This idea was secretly growing in the minds of everyone present.
Only the identity of a Celestial Vein user can explain Li Chang'an's miraculous achievements over the years.
According to legends in this world, every few hundred years, a bloodline left behind by the heavens will begin to awaken on earth.
This bloodline could represent an overwhelming fighting force, like that of the great general in the distant Kingdom of Nasgu.
