Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 148 The Lord of Yama, secretly plotting (half-leave)
"Boss, something happened!" Researcher A said solemnly, "The remaining young warriors haven't returned yet!"

Dr. Chen was very calm at this moment: "Why rush? Didn't the Lord God say that everything is under control?"

Researcher A was sweating profusely.

This group of warriors are the best of this generation in the Federation, and each of them has powerful strength behind them.

If something goes wrong, will those guys go and cause trouble for the gods? Then they will be the scapegoats.

"Xiao A, what do you think the federal government should do if the Lord God is ready to take power?"

Dr. Chen asked in a somewhat nonchalant manner.

His eyes seemed to be on the various data in front of him, but they had long lost focus. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, which was his little habit when he was deep in thought.

Each tap represents a node in the thinking process.

Researcher A was surprised and said, "What? The God is in power? Then some people will be very anxious. And now it is the early stage of the great land reclamation. This is going to force civil strife!"

Within the Federation, the reason why the God Lords are so high and mighty is not only because their origin cores all come from the Seven Marshals, but also because they are not involved in the power operation of the Federation.

They protect the Federation but do not interfere with its operations. They can be called guardian gods or mascots. Once the forces of the four great gods officially come to power and try to fight for power, the entire Federation will be shaken.

This is more than just civil strife, it is the beginning of division!

When the time comes, the first to respond, or even to rise up in rebellion, will definitely be the six major families!
"Yes." Dr. Chen said in a low voice, as if he was still feeling a little emotional. "The gods are also very clear about this."

"Let me ask you another question. If the gods were to choose a proxy from among this group of young people, who would have the best chance of being chosen by the gods?"

Researcher A scratched his head. Why did the boss keep asking questions that were irrelevant to the laboratory today? Anyway, no matter who is in power, they will always need funding.

He casually reported a few names:

"If we just talk about his identity and origin, Mu Juncheng from the Mu family is a descendant of Mu Shuai. Doesn't the choice of the ruins this time mean that he is related to Mu Shuai?"

"If we talk about performance, then the best one in this group is Ji Jingqiu. This kid is really fierce. He's the youngest, but he hits people the hardest!"

"There are others, such as Zhang Buzhou of the Pure Yang Sect... Well, I heard that the one from the Pure Yang Sect is going to try to break through to the Supreme Level. If I were a Divine Lord, there would be nothing wrong with cooperating with the Pure Yang Sect!"

Dr. Chen nodded, said nothing, waved his hand, and drove Xiao A out.

He sat alone in front of a spacious desk, his brows furrowed, which was unusual for him. His eyes were deep, but he was also in some kind of hesitation.

With his ability, he could naturally see the undercurrents behind the sudden intervention of the Lord God this time, which represented the Federation and Hela in establishing the basis for cooperation.

To be frank, someone from the federal high command has already told him to monitor Hela's condition more closely in the coming days.

On the surface, it is Hela, but in reality it is the Lord God.

And now the competition has ended early. Even though the time has come, these young warriors did not return on time...

Dr. Chen suddenly smiled helplessly.

Sure enough, the gods had other plans.

I just don't know if it is as I guessed, that they are going to choose one of these people as their future spokesperson.

And among this group of young people, there are many examples of people who could be picked.

In his eyes, the most likely person is actually Yue Yourong, who has forged the [Heavenly Will Dao Body].

At that time, the ten major societies joined forces and tried to use the divine system as a foundation and combine it with federal martial arts to embark on a brand new path.

In the end, of course, it failed.

The only result is the [Heaven's Will Dao Body] which has been shelved and no one has been able to cultivate.

Yue Yourong is the first warrior to forge the [Heaven's Will Dao Body].

According to the relevant information collected, this Taoist body will eventually lead to the path of being close to God. There is a great possibility that the gods will choose this person...

Of course, these are not the key.

The key is yourself, where should you stand?

……

……

The countdown for the subtitle prompt has ended.

But Ji Jingqiu did not return to the Federation.

He looked up at the strange world in black and white before him, and time and space seemed to have come to a standstill at this moment.

He looked down and saw the weeds that were spreading out in ripples in the wind, frozen at the moment of falling down.

He tried to release his perception and use the power of his mind to feel the outside world, but failed until a familiar mental wave hit him.

It's Hela.

Ji Jingqiu looked serious.

How dare He come to find me?
He tried to enter a state of meditation, and as he wished, he returned to the inner world and sat in the pure land.

A moment later, he welcomed the evil guest...

Knock on the door?

Ji Jingqiu was shocked.

This time Hela behaved very politely and "knocked on the door and entered".

The form revealed by the latter at this moment was completely different from the original body suppressed in Baiyujing, but was the same as what he saw before entering the trial.

It has a human head and a snake body, wearing an emperor's crown on its head and a black cloak on its body. Its huge snake tail is dragging on the ground. Its face is blurred and floating like clouds and water.

Suddenly.

The blurriness was like clouds dispersing after rain, revealing the true face.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes narrowed slightly. It was the same face he saw when he first arrived at the Four Guardian Stars and was isolated for three days.

This face seemed to capture the faces of all the women he had been close to in his past life, making him feel close to her instinctively.

Little trick!

A clear glass light bloomed behind his head, and he returned to his normal state, looking at the other faceless god who was traveling with Hela.

The Four Gods!

The two sides communicated with each other through their minds, and in just a moment, Ji Jingqiu knew the purpose of their visit from this God Lord.

The person who accompanied, or rather detained Hela to see him, was Dongfang Qinglingweiyang Jiuqi God Lord among the Four God Lords.

His purpose can be summarized very succinctly and clearly in one sentence.

[Ji Jingqiu, you want to become the Lord of Yanfu]

Yambu...continent?

……

……

When the warriors who had been delayed returned to the Federation, the selection competition officially came to an end.

The approval list from federal officials has not yet been released, and in previous years, this usually takes a week to wait.

Because this list not only involves whether the warriors are qualified to participate in the grand martial arts performance, but also involves the qualification awarding of the stars and the bright moon.

Among the warriors participating in this competition, there will be a group of stars and even Haoyue warriors.

Although the final list was not released so quickly, the final ranking list of this competition was sent to various forces in a timely manner as a substitute.

Even though this ranking list does not represent the final list due to the special nature of the hunting competition, it is still enough to serve as a strong reference.

The rankings on this list, as well as some names that should have existed but inexplicably disappeared, shocked and confused many people at first.

"The top of the list this time is Ji Jingqiu?!"

"Zhang Buzhou from Shenwei Group is not on the final ranking list? Wasn't there news that his points temporarily ranked first?"

"What? I didn't make it to the end, I was eliminated midway, and my points were reset to zero? Isn't this like popping champagne midway?"

"Well, the other rankings are generally not much different from what was expected."

"Ji Jingqiu is at the top of the list... Can we get the video of the battle? This shouldn't be the case. This boy is at a disadvantage in terms of supernatural powers and Taoism. How did he manage to defeat his peers?" "What I am more curious about is who eliminated Zhang Buzhou and how he was eliminated. Why hasn't my Qilin child come back yet? Send someone to urge him to come back."

……

Zhuang Yanxing hurried into his master's meditation room with the latest ranking list.

As a result, because he ran too fast, his mind lost control, his feet slipped, and he
Looking at this reckless disciple, Tianji Taoist shook his head and said helplessly: "Your senior brother took first place? Are you so surprised?"

"No way! How could Senior Brother take first place..." Zhuang Yanxing responded instinctively, and after realizing what was happening, he quickly said, "Master, Ji Jingqiu took first place!"

"Oh?" Taoist Tianji said in surprise, "The one who took the top spot this time was not Zhang Buzhou, not Mu Juncheng, nor Yin Wushuang and others, but Ji Jingqiu?"

Zhuang Yan nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.

"Interesting." Taoist Tianji stroked his beard and said in a mature and dignified manner, "Fortunately, I am prudent. Although I was not optimistic about him before the ranking, I felt that I could not see through him, so I still included him in the top-notch category. Otherwise, wouldn't I be so embarrassed this time?"

"Speaking of which..."

"How did he get first place? Did he open up the fourth divine power? Or did he make further progress in the prototype of the dojo?"

Taoist Tianji fell into deep thought.

Based on his understanding of this generation of young people, there are at least five or six of them who would have been solid Jiaoyang warriors in previous years.

Supernatural powers, Taoist bodies, fighting skills... these young guys are more powerful than the other.

Ji Jingqiu practiced the formless Taoist body and should have lagged behind others. How did he manage to catch up and surpass his peers in terms of combat power?
On this side, Zhuang Yanxing suddenly remembered the conversation between him and Ji Jingqiu before he went in, and patted his chest with great relief.

My senior brother’s name is on this list!
It can be seen that my senior brother was not implicated by him because of me!

"This boy... has unlimited potential." Taoist Tianji suddenly sighed, "Who on earth could have accepted such an outstanding disciple? Why can't I accept one?"

Zhuang Yanxing comforted him, "Master, Brother has worked very hard and done very well."

Taoist Tianji blew his beard and glared, then slapped him on the back of the head:
"I'm talking about you!"

"Go, practice more! You are not allowed to leave until you have mastered the [Heavenly Secrets Exploration Technique]!"

……

Star Group.

The old man hung up the call with Lou Qinglan, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at the directors in front of him.

In fact, before Lou Qinglan called, the news that Ji Jingqiu had topped the list had already been delivered to this conference room.

“Top of the list…” the old man sighed, as if in a dream.

The other directors present also felt the same way.

They all knew Ji Jingqiu's potential, otherwise why would they agree to the company's large financial support.

Even after news came that Ji Jingqiu was practicing the formless Taoist body and his future prospects might be greatly reduced and he would be weaker than his peers, no one suggested withdrawing investment.

After all, no matter how backward they are, they are still compared with the core members of the most powerful forces in the Federation.

Ji Jingqiu is still the top martial arts seed that Xingchen Group has found in recent decades!
But they didn't expect... Ji Jingqiu was not only not inferior to his peers, but instead "counterattacked" his peers and climbed to the top of the list!
"The young are really formidable," the old man sighed softly, "Perhaps, some things are not always the same as we think... Think of an excuse to reject Shenwei Group. The future of the company still needs to be in our own hands."

The directors nodded slightly.

They originally disagreed to give the magical wall belonging to the Xingchen Group to the Shenwei Group.

……

When the latest ranking list was sent to Shenwei Group.

"May I ask what Mr. Yin thinks of this ranking list?" Zhang Yitong did not lose his composure, but was unusually calm and inquired about Yin Tianping's attitude.

Yin Tianping pondered and said, "Overall, it is not much different from what we expected, except..."

"Besides Ji Jingqiu who topped the list, Buzhou actually failed to make the list?" Zhang Yitong looked unusually calm. "I suspect it was this guy who designed this, causing Buzhou to fail miserably!"

Yin Tianping was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say.

In the battle of martial arts, there is always someone better than you.

It's not that your Qilinzi lost, it's that someone else played a dirty trick on him...

Even if the protagonist of this incident was his junior fellow apprentice, Yin Tianping would never make such malicious speculations.

He could only say: "When Junior Brother comes back, the matter will be clear. In addition, what has already happened cannot be undone. Mr. Zhang might as well think about the next arrangements, such as...reversing the innate nature."

At this point, Yin Tianping showed his caution: "Rebellion against the innate is the last step in laying the foundation of martial arts. We in Chunyang Dao have prepared a precious medicine for you. As for the rest, I hope that Mr. Zhang can do his best and prepare enough."

Zhang Yitong looked solemn: "Please rest assured, Mr. Yin, I know what's going on. I have already sent someone to trade for a monk fruit. The other party's offer is very high... but as long as I can help, I will do whatever it takes!"

Yin Tianping looked slightly strange.

Luo Han Guo... Is this connected to the Supreme True Buddha Sect?
His feeling turned out to be correct.

To my junior brother, the Jinxing Zhang family is like a time bomb, and no one knows when it will explode.

……

……

Moro Cult.

A temple located underground.

"...The Federation has found a passage to the other side of the wilderness. You must obtain relevant information as soon as possible."

"This involves the Nine Continents across the wilderness. This will be a major turning point that will determine the rise and fall and survival of the cult!"

"The Lord and I do not expect you to get one of the passages. We only hope that you can understand the current direction and general plan of the Federation..."

The bright candlelight could not illuminate the entire hall. The old man's face was half-hidden by the thick and deep darkness during the old voice. His eyes, which seemed to be able to see through the deep night sky, stared at the young man in front of him.

He is Indra, one of the archbishops of the Moro Order.

Hundreds of years ago, Lord Cihang, one of the eleven Lords of the Federation, had deceived him and committed a bloody crime involving tens of thousands of innocent believers, which almost brought disgrace to Lord Cihang's spirit platform!
The young man standing in front of him said with a frivolous smile:

"Please rest assured, sir. We have already laid the hidden cards, and now is the time to activate them."

"As expected, the reason why the Federation's recent selection competitions were kept secret is because of this matter."

The old man closed his eyes slightly, without commenting, and just said calmly:
"Go, complete this mission, and you will be my successor. Do not let me and the Order down."

After getting the old man's promise, the young man's smile became brighter and his eyes became more blazing:
"As you wish!"

……

……

That night, Ji Jingqiu had just ended his extravagant life of drinking and chatting, and returned to the training room to sit down alone, ready to have a good chat with Hela and sort out the current situation.

As a result, he suddenly received a strange message.

[Ji Jingqiu, you have been entangled by Hela. The Federation cannot save you. The only ones who can help you are us - your eternal friend, Moro]

Ji Jingqiu fell into deep thought.

The Morro Cult?

He remembered that this was also an underground esoteric sect, and the bounty level was even higher than that of the Supreme True Buddha Sect.

If the Supreme True Buddha Sect is likened to a murderer, then the Moro Sect is a federal traitor and a traitor to the country.

He tried to "poke" Hela.

Not long after, Hela's murderous voice reached his ears.

"Kill them for me!"

Such a violent reaction made Ji Jingqiu open his mouth slowly, looking stunned, not understanding why Hela suddenly reacted so strongly.

What he didn't know was that one of the reasons why Hela had to cooperate with the Federation was because of the "strong push" from the Moro Cult.

So to some extent, Hela’s current reaction can be seen as “one should never forget the person who dug the well”.

This one has more than 4,000 words, so let's consider it as half leave. I've been feeling dizzy since yesterday, and in a very bad state... Plus, the neighborhood outside was under renovation during the day, so I couldn't sleep. I felt really uncomfortable. I fell asleep right after typing this one. I'm sorry. I'll recover a little in a couple of days, and I'll try to update more. Aba Aba...
