I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 115 The Old God is Dead, the New God Must Be Established

"Well, you gentlemen have really given me a difficult problem..."

"In that case, let's leave this matter to Tianzun for decision."

Ning Caichen smiled cunningly.

Under the suspicious gaze of everyone, he found a bamboo tube and two bamboo sticks, and wrote the names of Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Huijuan on the sticks respectively.

Everyone suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh at Ning Caichen's cunningness, actually choosing people by drawing lots.

Well, let's leave it to God.

Everyone immediately reached a consensus and no longer had any objections.

Ning Caichen led everyone to kneel before the statue of Tianzun, kowtowed three times devoutly, held up a bamboo tube and bamboo stick, and said loudly: "Tianzun, today we are selecting the emperor, and it is difficult to choose between the two candidates, so I present this to Tianzun, and hope that Tianzun will make the decision!"

After saying this, Ning Caichen closed his eyes and began to shake the bamboo tube casually according to his feeling.

After shaking it for a dozen times, the bamboo tube suddenly became lighter and the two bamboo sticks flew out together.

Ning Caichen and everyone else were stunned.

[My goodness, is Tianzun going to choose two emperors? ]

Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened - the two flying bamboo sticks did not fall to the ground, but suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Then everyone felt a familiar breath and couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"In that case, I will help you make the decision."

The voice that I had been thinking about day and night sounded faintly, and a big, broad hand grabbed the two bamboo sticks suspended in mid-air. A familiar figure in white appeared in front of everyone, looking at them with a smile.

"Tian Zun!!!"

The screaming was so distorted that it sounded like a ghost howling.

Ning Caichen and the others' eyes were instantly filled with tears. They rushed forward and surrounded the figure in white tightly, then fell to their knees with a thud.

One of the figures even rushed over and hugged Tianzun's thigh, crying loudly as if his father had died, "Master Tianzun! You are finally back. I missed you so much!"

It was that shameless Xiahou Qingfeng.

Zhang Hong kicked him away in disgust, glanced at Ning Caichen and the others who were obviously older and more haggard, and praised them, "Thank you for your hard work over the years, you have done a great job.

"It's not hard! You, the Lord, taught us to serve the people!"

Everyone was as happy as children weighing over 200 pounds, and they laughed and said, although they smiled, the tears on their faces could not be wiped away.

Zhang Hong looked at Zhu Youxiao and the other crown princes again and nodded encouragingly to them.

Seeing them all grow up to be handsome and graceful, he said with a little emotion: "You have all grown up and become talented. Not bad. I hope you can continue to work hard, stay true to your original aspirations, and make a career."

"There is no need to fight for the throne. The throne will be held every five years. Zhu Youjian will be the first, Zhu Huijuan will be the second, and after two terms, there will be a new selection. If you still want to be emperor, you can all participate in the selection here."

The Lord of Heaven has spoken, and everyone is happy.

After some pleasantries, Ning Caichen couldn't help but ask, "Tianzun, where have you been for the past ten years? Why haven't you heard from me?"

"Cough cough..."

An unnatural look flashed across Zhang Hong's face. He turned to look at his own gilded statue in the hall and said calmly, "I have to deal with the fire and have no time to spare. Now that the fire has been suppressed, you don't need to worry anymore."

"You don't need to ask me about my affairs."

"But there are a few things that need to be done by you."

……

The fact that Tianzun returned did not alarm anyone.

Except for the few people who were present at the scene that day, no one else knew that the Heavenly Master they had been thinking about had quietly returned.

After a few days, Ning Caichen and others realized that the Heavenly Lord in front of them was just a projection.

Tianzun Zhenshi is somewhere else, having important matters to attend to, and cannot come back for the time being.

But this did not prevent Tianzun from ordering them to do things.

A few days later, the imperial court convened a national parliament, and Ning Caichen proposed to abolish all old religions and establish the Tianzun Religion.

The reason was that when the karmic fire disaster occurred, the gods and Buddhas not only did not show up to help mortals, but instead appeared in the form of evil spirits and harmed countless people.

"There has never been any god or Buddha, and we can't always count on a savior!"

"To create lasting happiness and well-being for the world, we can only rely on ourselves!"

At the conference, in front of civil and military officials, Ning Caichen gave a passionate speech, and every word from the heart moved everyone.

Ning Caichen proposed that from now on, all living beings in the Nine Provinces should only worship Heavenly Father, Earthly Mother and the heroic spirits who have made great contributions.

The Father in Heaven is Tianzun and the Mother on Earth is Hou Tu Niangniang.

The Meritorious Heroes are heroes and martyrs who have made outstanding contributions to the world of Kyushu and have great merits.

It also proposed to make Tianzunism the state religion, set up a main church in the capital, and set up branches in various places to teach the people how to correctly worship Tianzun, the Earth Mother, and the meritorious spirits, and to publicize and popularize correct religious ideas and belief theories, and publicize Tianzun's various ideological theories and doctrines.

Although there was considerable controversy among the monks regarding the banning of other religions, especially Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, the proposal received great support and response from the mortals, with few people opposing it.

Especially for the establishment of Tianzun Sect and making it the state religion, almost everyone agreed with it.

Even the monks of the three religions had no objection, and all races, regardless of human, demon, or ghost, supported it enthusiastically.

At that time, the world's voices were rising. Under the impetus of various forces, the establishment of Tianzun Sect passed all procedures at the fastest speed. Construction started immediately after the proposal was passed.

Beijing, City God Temple.

"Tear it down for me!"

The monk from Sitianyuan brought the officials with him and waved his hand. The officials immediately rushed forward and started demolishing the house like wolves and tigers.

"You can't tear it down! You can't tear it down!"

"This is a thousand-year-old City God Temple. If you do this, you will be punished by God!"

The old temple keeper cried and beat his chest and stamped his feet, trying to rush forward to stop them, but was held down firmly by two strong officers.

The monks from Sitianyuan remained unmoved, their faces stern, and they continued to direct the demolition.

"Lord City God, someone is trying to demolish your government office, please show your power!"

No matter how the temple keeper cried and shouted, the City God did not appear, and finally the statue and the temple turned into ruins.

The temple keeper was disheartened, having lost the faith and sustenance of his life. It was more painful than being killed. He lay on the ground in a daze, feeling hopeless.

The monk from the Sitianyuan pointed at the temple priest and said, "Take this old man away as well."

"Yes!"

Two strong officers carried the temple priest and took him away like a criminal.

On this day, a similar scene was played out across Kyushu. Officials, as ferocious as wolves and tigers, rushed into local city god temples, land temples, Taoist temples, and Buddhist temples and began to demolish them without any courtesy.

The onlookers were shocked, and for a moment they felt as if the corrupt officials and cruel officials of the past had returned.

Some elderly people tried to dissuade them on the spot - they had grown up worshipping these gods and had developed feelings for them, but they were all stopped forcefully by the soldiers.

The government even dispatched police and troops to cordon off the scene and maintain order.

[The government is acting so rudely, I'm afraid the two great forces of Buddhism and Taoism will not let it go...]

[Could it be that the government is using the title of Tianzun to get rid of the donkey and eliminate the threat? ]

Some smart people couldn't help but speculate in their hearts.
