Chapter 897: Death of a Sage (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as the small world in Jiang Li’s chest was about to be torn apart by the power of the Cultivationless Age, the human treasure, the Nine Provinces Cauldron, that surrounded him suddenly emitted an even more dazzling golden light of merit.
They automatically flew up and entered the small world in his body.
These nine big guys were called cauldrons, but when they were forged back then, they seized all the weapons in the Nine Provinces.
The size was so exaggerated that it took Jiang Li a long time to fly around a Nine Provinces Cauldron when he first saw it back then.
If it was a mortal, they would probably be unable to walk from one side of the Nine Provinces Cauldron to the other in their lifetime.
It was so large that even if Jiang Li knew that the Nine Provinces Cauldron could suppress space, he was originally unable to put them into such a huge hole in his small world.
The small world was like a balloon. If he used an ax to cut a huge hole in it, the small world would probably collapse on the spot.
However, he did not expect that at the moment when his internal world was on the verge of collapse and the five qi in his chest was about to dissipate, the Nine Provinces Cauldron would take the initiative to enter.
Even if they were piled together, it was still filled to the brim. The three small worlds were not directly broken.
The Nine Provinces Cauldron immediately displayed the effect of suppressing space. For a time, it really stopped the collapse of the small world.
Immediately after, something even more magical happened.
At this moment, the Nine Provinces Cauldron seemed to have become nine suns. The golden light on it became denser and denser.
Not only did the nine golden lights maintain the stability of Jiang Li’s inner world, they even faintly projected that they would gather together and gradually form a brand new three-legged round cauldron.
Before the round cauldron could form, the power emitted stabilized the swaying small world.
The large gap torn open by the anti-cultivation storm even showed signs of healing.
The Nine Provinces Cauldron had such an ability?
How could he not know as the Human Emperor?
When his consciousness entered the golden light emitted by the nine cauldrons, he immediately sensed the will of countless humans in the Nine Provinces.
On this day, all the humans in the Nine Provinces, be it the commoners, nobles, peddlers, or beggars, everyone in all walks of life put down everything in their hands on this day.
They knelt in front of the Human Emperor’s Temple that covered the world and kowtowed sincerely.
They did not feel hungry or tired.
Even the pregnant woman who was about to give birth, the old man lying on the bed, and the prisoners waiting to be killed did not have the time to worry about themselves.
Their hands were tightly holding the wooden tablet bestowed by the current Human Emperor.
In their minds, they repeatedly chanted the “Human Emperor’s Scripture”.
This scripture was created based on the status of the Human Emperor, and it was Jiang Li’s own Human Emperor Scripture.
Every time a mortal chanted it, a trace of incense offerings unique to Jiang Li would be born.
It was precisely the combined efforts of the humans of the Nine Provinces that caused the treasure of the human race to change at this critical moment.
This kind of scene where tens of thousands of people were united in subduing the Nine Provinces was definitely impossible a hundred years ago.
This was because the human heart was unpredictable and human nature was different.
Even if the current Human Emperor saved the people of the world and blessed them, acting as a perfect Human Emperor, mortals were too narrow-minded after all.
The old people who had walked a hundred miles out of the village could be said to be knowledgeable.
They would be the ones to make decisions in neighboring disputes. They would casually fabricate some nonsense and use the method of “elders know what they are doing” to influence the children in the village for generations.
Other mortals might not even have gone out of their village.
In the few calamities back then, basically everyone who had seen them died.
As for the mortals who were farther away and had not suffered any calamity, they could not figure out what had happened.
Without experiencing the pain of being cut, the gratitude towards the hero who saved the world would never be deep enough.
If he wanted everyone to be grateful to Jiang Li, believe in obeying the Human Emperor, and even worship Jiang Li as the faith of the world… his contribution to saving the world was indeed understandable.
However, relying on stories passed down by word of mouth was far from enough.
The current Human Emperor naturally knew the importance of doing good deeds without leaving a name.
In a hundred years, he had helped nurture more than twenty female immortals in the Nine Provinces. Who had he ever muttered to?
He had always been carefree and unrestrained.
However, as a ruler, a great Human Emperor who controlled the three realms of the Nine Provinces, he also knew the role that heroes and role models could play among the mortal people.
He also knew that creating a legend could increase the confidence of the people in the ruler and increase the happiness index of mortals.
When those people rebelled, the first step of the rebels was to spread rumors to belittle the rulers and shake the hearts of the people.
Therefore, for the sake of the prosperity, stability, and prosperity of the Nine Provinces, Jiang Li still beautified himself.
In the past hundred years, other than developing the human race to build the three worlds, Fengdu City had also placed the construction of the human race’s thinking as the most important.
They first exterminated the false gods and cults established by ghosts, demons, or some cultivators.
After purging all the chaotic faith systems of the humans of the Nine Provinces, only the Human Emperor’s lineage was left.
To ensure the unity and authority of faith, they sent out the Nine Nether clone and left miracles everywhere.
