Chapter 1206: What Intentions
This is thousands of statues, the degree has surpassed most offerings.
Yang Dingtian remained calm and replied: “It wasn’t me who had the statue erected for him, but rather the people’s heartfelt gratitude. They spontaneously built it in his honor. If you insist on forcing everything onto me, then you would be wrongly accusing an innocent person, heh heh.”
"Yang Dingtian!"
Four Immortal Emperors saw that he kept smiling, which made their anger even greater.
The Western Jinxian stood his ground and shouted angrily, "We are discussing a serious matter with you, so don't act flippantly. It is already an overstepping of boundaries for a mortal to accept incense offerings, and as the sovereign ruler, you bear a great responsibility!"
Besides, without your decree, how dare the people of Daxia erect a statue for an ordinary mortal and offer incense to it
Yang Dingtian tightened his expression, sensing the wrong tone in the other's voice, and replied with equal sharpness: "While I am indeed the ruler of Daxia, my primary responsibility is to ensure the peace and prosperity of Daxia. I will not involve myself in trivial matters like building statues."
Besides, even if I ordered its construction, can you see with your own eyes that the people below are devoutly worshiping Is that something I could command them to do
"If their hearts weren't already filled with Ye Fusheng, how could they offer such sincere and devoted worship"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four Golden Immortals were so angry that their faces turned red. Although they had known Yang Dingtian before, this was their first direct encounter. They never expected him to be so domineering!
Yes, look at the people below, they are truly devout. Even among them, there are those who take advantage of the situation for personal gain. Many of these offerings are not out of genuine belief, but rather a hidden hope that their sacrifices will bring them wealth and safety.
Who can be offered to Ye Fusheng
Without exception, they all hope that Ye Fusheng can enjoy bliss in the void!
That's too much of a difference!
"Tear it apart!"
The Eastern Jinxian finally spoke, his voice was not heavy, but undeniable: "According to the rules, anyone other than immortals from the upper realm cannot accept offerings. Since you have already violated the rules, you must rectify it in time, Lord Yang Guo, you have three days to dismantle all the statues and prevent the error from continuing."
"Can't dismantle it!"
Yang Dingtian answered very succinctly, in a resounding voice: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Even though I am the king, I cannot go against the surging tide of public opinion. To be frank, Daxia has just gone through a major catastrophe and is riddled with wounds. The people need faith to overcome this hardship."
They chose Ye Fusheng as their faith, and as the ruler of the nation, I cannot interfere.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Four immortal cultivators of the highest rank felt a surge of fury rise within them. They were filled with an urge to utterly destroy Yang Dingtian, as if he were nothing but a trivial insect daring to defy them. In their eyes, Yang Dingtian was inconsequential; how could someone so insignificant dare challenge them
Although I was angry before, as long as he ordered the statue to be demolished, everything could be tolerated.
But he actually disagreed
Who gave him the guts!
The Northern Golden Immortal said coldly, “Yang Dingtian, we are here to inform you, not to discuss. Regarding the statue, there is no room for negotiation, it must be removed!”
"Southern Jinxian smiled ambiguously and said, 'Don't forget, you are the one sent down by the upper realm to manage the mortals. You should represent the upper realm best. This matter hasn't caused a big stir yet, but if it escalates and angers the masses, your position as the country's ruler might not be secure!'"
The Western Golden Immortal let out a cold snort: “Don’t think we don’t know Ye Fusheng’s past. He slaughtered the Four Great Holy Lands, he is the enemy of the Upper Realm! If someone like him can still brazenly accept offerings, it's your serious dereliction of duty!”
Donghua Jinxian said nonchalantly, "We understand that people need faith right now, but it shouldn't be placed on a mere mortal child. Why don't we four appear in the mortal world and do some things for the people to see That way, we can naturally replace his statue with ours."
These words are measured, both offensive and defensive, with both kindness and force.
I have more faith that Yang Dingtian is a smart person who knows what to do.
But...
Yang Dingtian was unusually resolute and no longer concealed his stance. He directly stated, "As I said, the statue is a spontaneous act by the people. As the ruler of this nation, I cannot interfere. If your sole purpose for coming here is regarding the statue, then you may leave. This ruler can only say that he is powerless!"
"You!"
"Yang Dingtian!"
"What did you say"
"You dare disagree!"
Four celestial immortals glared furiously, their eyes blazing with anger. As celestial immortals, they had long forgotten how many centuries it had been since they felt such rage. But this time, someone had truly crossed a line.
Faced with the raging anger, Yang Dingtian showed no fear whatsoever. If there were not many things he couldn't directly say, he would have directly refuted them. Back when Daxia was about to be engulfed in catastrophe, you didn't come to help put out the fire, and we couldn't even see your presence.
Now that your incense offerings have dwindled, you still dare to claim you're serving the people.
How dare you!
"Goodbye, and good luck!"
He finished speaking and turned to leave.
Whoosh!
Just as he turned around, four golden lights flared up around him, forming a closed space that trapped him within.
The Northern Golden Immortal roared, "Yang Dingtian, the reason we're speaking to you is to give you a chance. You need to understand that the ruler of Daxia is not eternal, while our Golden Immortal positions are everlasting. Right now, it's not your own strength that allows this conversation, but your position as the ruler!"
Threat!
This means it's simple: if you disagree, we'll settle the score later.
Yang Dingtian was forced to stop in his tracks, a cold smile spreading across his face: "As you said, I am still the King, and as the King, I still carry the Qi of Xia on me. What can you possibly do to me"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Four Immortal Emperors almost vomited blood from anger. It would be easy to defeat Yang Dingtian; they didn't even need to exert much effort, just a few simple moves would be enough to obliterate him. However, he was carrying the aspirations of the Great Xia Dynasty on his shoulders, so they truly couldn't make a move!
"Get out of the way!"
Yang Dingtian roared, continuing to stride forward. As he walked, his aura surged, the imperial qi of the Xia Dynasty swirling around him, as if about to force its way through the golden light.
Four Immortal cultivators, though seething with hatred, had no choice but to withdraw their aura. The reason was simple: if he truly relied on his Qi Luck to forcibly break through, the Qi Luck of Xia Dynasty would be damaged, and this land would once again fall into turmoil.
With the current national fortune of Daxia, it is simply unbearable.
If the Upper Realm sends others to investigate, I wouldn't be able to bear it either!
He… he just knows that neither of us can afford to be defeated!
"Arrogant to the extreme, arrogant to the extreme!"
"If he were not still the king, how could he have left unharmed tonight!"
"A mere mortal dares to defy this Golden Immortal! When the time comes for his abdication, it will be his day of death!"
They grumbled and huffed, but didn't leave.
Scolding for a while.
The Jinxian stationed in the east suddenly spoke, frowning: “Do you feel that Yang Dingtian’s attitude is a little off”
The other three Golden Immortals looked over, their faces filled with confusion.
Dongfang Jinxian pondered for a moment and continued, "Although it's our first encounter, our identities are not those of insignificant celestial fairies. He is so arrogant. Is he truly this natured, or does he have ulterior motives" celestial and earthly immortals lies in this: earthly immortals can only be "invincible" within the confines of their designated territory. Celestial immortals, on the other hand, can exert their ful...
