Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Chapter 119 Dragon-executing Platform_1

The Heavenly Court Decree, as its name implies, is the decree issued by the Heavenly Court to the lower realms.

In the golden age of cultivation tens of thousands of years ago, the Primal Chaos Realm was in close contact with the Upper World, and there were numerous decrees from the Heavenly Court.

Whenever a spirit of a famous mountain or great river was born, the Heavenly Court would issue a decree to canonize it as a Canonical God, thereby integrating these sentient spirits into the Incense Offering Divinity Path system.

Incense Offering Deities of the ranks of God Honor and Divine Monarch also needed to be canonized by the Heavenly Court Decree to ascend to their divine positions.

However, since the Great Schism thousands of years ago, the connection between the Upper World and the Primal Chaos Realm has been severed, and the Heavenly Court Decree has completely disappeared.

Within the entire Primal Chaos Realm, there has not been a Heavenly Court Decree for thousands of years.

Even Yunfu Mountain Lord, a young Heavenly Court Canonical God, has received the Heavenly Court Decree before his birth thousands of years ago, which allowed him to succeed to the position of a Heavenly Court Canonical God and govern over Yunfu Mountains after his birth.

Ao Lang, as the River Ji Dragon Sovereign, is not under the jurisdiction of any Divine Monarch, and even stands on equal footing with the Four Sea Dragon Kings.

The only thing that could truly influence Ao Lang was the decree from the Heavenly Court.

This was a significant reason why Ao Lang scoffed at Shen Yuan’s claims.

With the connection between the Heavenly Court and the Primal Chaos Realm severed, Shen Yuan, even with his ability to communicate with the heavens, could not shake Ao Lang’s position as the River Ji Dragon Sovereign.

However, at this moment, Ao Lang’s understanding was shattered.

The Heavenly Court, which had severed its connection for thousands of years, has actually issued a decree!

At this moment, not only Ao Lang, the River Ji Dragon Sovereign, but also the entire River Ji Dragon Palace grotto heavens fell into silence.

The True Dragons and the gods of water, their gaze crossed the barrier of the grotto heavens, all looking at the huge decree falling down from the sky.

The decree is of a sacred golden color, its power as brilliant as the Great Sun, and it is hard to look straight at it.

As the Heavenly Court Decree descended, the entire Incense Offering Divinity Path network of Cang Province trembled at this moment.

In the bustling or desolate temples, the gods of mountain forests and ponds all looked up towards the heavens.

Countless incense offerings and blessings converged towards that Heavenly Court Decree, gradually forming a clear figure.

It was a pale golden scroll, with Taoist scriptures outlined on it. Each stroke demonstrated the true meaning of Incense Offering Divinity Path, pointing directly to the origin of the Dao.

On the outermost part of the pale golden scroll, the forces of rivers and lakes appeared, and in the very center, a morning star was embellished.

The Eight Bureaus of the Heavenly Court govern all things in the world, and the Four Waterways and Four Seas are all controlled by the Water Department, whose Canonical God is the Northern Star Water Element God.

The morning star represents Mercury, indicating that this Heavenly Court Decree comes from the Water Department under The Eight Bureaus of Heavenly Court.

After absorbing a massive amount of the power of incense offerings, the Heavenly Court Decree slowly landed in front of Shen Yuan.

Ao Lang, the Giant Clam Water God, and even the True Dragons and the water gods inside the River Ji Dragon Palace were all staring nervously at Shen Yuan, their expressions anxious but they dared not make any move.

Shen Yuan extended his right hand and slowly grasped the golden scroll.

What Shen Yuan held in his hand was not a Heavenly Court Decree, or rather, it was not a real Heavenly Court Decree issued and signed by The Eight Bureaus of Heavenly Court and the Emperor.

The Great Schism has already passed for tens of thousands of years, and the Primal Chaos Realm has long severed its connection with the Upper World; there is no way a Heavenly Court Decree could descend.

The origin of this decree was actually Shen Yuan’s Gods Purging Divine Power.

After advancing Gods Purging Divine Power to the first level, Shen Yuan realized that the greatest use of Gods Purging Divine Power was not to suppress individual creatures, but to harness the power of the Incense Offering Divinity Path to command the world.

Take, for example, Shen Yuan’s decree of “Subdue Wave”. By using the River Ji Dragon Seal as a medium to suppress the waters of River Ji, he achieved the effect. Essentially, Shen Yuan simply relied on the River Ji Dragon Seal to suppress the waters, and had no connection to the Giant Clam Water God, yet he could easily eliminate the divine power of the Giant Clam Water God.

A decree of this type allows him to bypass the will of a highly advanced individual and directly harness the unowned power of heaven and earth to achieve his goals in a simpler and more efficient way.

But just doing this was not enough to completely defuse the situation for Shen Yuan.

The decree allowed Shen Yuan to suppress the divine power of the Giant Clam Water God, but if the Giant Clam Water God forcibly used his own power, they would still be stuck in a stalemate.

Plus, with the River Ji Dragon Sovereign, Ao Lang, watching everything closely by the side, Shen Yuan was not sure if Ao Lang would have another opportunity to summon a Spirit Refining Demon King.

Taking this into account, Shen Yuan simply ignored the Giant Clam Water God and aimed directly at the source of the trouble, the River Ji Dragon Sovereign.

The Gods Purging Divine Power at the first level doesn’t have much offensive power, but it can be used quite effectively on the Incense Offering Divinity Path system.

Shen Yuan, understanding the pulse of Incense Offering Divinity Path developed in the Primal Chaos Realm can use his own Gods Purging Divine Powers to influence the key nodes of Incense Offering Divinity Path and suppress the enemy.

Who is at the topmost point in this gigantic Incense Offering Divinity Path network that spans across the heavens and the earth?

The answer is obvious. At the top of the Incense Offering Divinity Path are always the Heavenly Courts that set up the layout in the various realms, and spread the laws of the Incense Offering Divinity Path across the world.

Among all the entities in the Incense Offering Divinity Path, it is not a particular Canonical God or an Emperor who best represents the will of the Heavenly Court, but rather the Heavenly Court Decree which embodies the will of the Heavenly Court.

Shen Yuan looked straight at the Heavenly Court Decree in his hand, letting the River Ji Dragon Seal in his right hand float by his side. Both of his hands slowly opened the golden scroll in his hands.

From an angle that outsiders could not see, the golden scroll in Shen Yuan’s hand was completely blank; there was no decree from the Heavenly Court at all.
