Junior Uncle is too cunning.
Chapter 100 An unexpected surprise
Ao Guang was no pushover either. He faced Li Shundao, who was taking advantage of the situation, Qingdi, who was trying to shift the blame and then suddenly turn around, and Bixiao, who was watching him closely.
"This was an oversight on my part, fellow Daoist. How about I offer this third-rank divine position as an apology?"
He immediately came up with a move that surprised all three of them.
However, Li Shundao was delighted, while Qingdi and Bixiao were surprised.
The Azure Emperor and the Azure Clouds resolutely shook their heads in refusal, saying in unison, "No."
Li Shundao was also stunned by the old dragon. He silently looked at Qingdi Bixiao, but hurriedly went offline to discuss countermeasures with Chen Fusheng.
Chen Fusheng was also a little confused, but after watching so many palace dramas, he thought for a moment and made a bold guess.
"Could it be that there are four divine positions, one for each of the three families, leaving only the last one that is being divided unequally? Anyway, with the Heavenly Court and the human race involved, Ao Guang saw that the Dragon Clan had little hope, so he directly pushed it to you. This weakens the strength of the Heavenly Court and the human race, and also arouses their dissatisfaction with you. In the future, you can have more people to help him fight against the pressure from the human race and the Heavenly Court."
Following Chen Fusheng's train of thought, Li Shundao seemed to suddenly understand the relationship represented by the three people: Qingdi, Ao Guang, and Bi Xiao. Basically, the Heavenly Court and the human race stood together against the Dragon Clan, but there were also internal conflicts of interest between the Heavenly Court and the human race.
That's why things got so complicated. When the old Dragon King saw me, he seized the opportunity to offer me the position of a third-rank deity. It seemed like he was showing me goodwill, but in reality, he was just a piece of fat meat coated with poison.
Li Shundao looked at Chen Fusheng with a headache, feeling that things were going to be difficult.
Chen Fusheng was a little puzzled. "You should just refuse directly. You're already set on the path of the God of Wealth anyway, so there's no point in having this divine position. Why don't you talk to them again and exchange it for a few innate spiritual treasures? These are three big spenders, so we can't let them go easily."
Especially Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, who possesses countless treasures throughout the ocean.
Li Shundao felt that ever since Chen Fusheng broke through his mental barriers, he had become much more greedy than before. Did he think that innate spiritual treasures were as common as cabbages? He only gave me one for such a small thing. What was he thinking all day long? Did he really think I was a Great Immortal?
While thinking to myself, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him.
"If I can't, then you're still here, aren't you? Don't you want to comprehend the Five Elements Dao? If you had this Water God position, wouldn't comprehend the Water Dao be as easy as a fish in water?"
Chen Fusheng thought about it and agreed. A third-rank divine position would not only accelerate his comprehension of the Water Divine Power, but also allow him to utilize the power of a Golden Immortal in advance, which could be considered a form of protection.
Otherwise, based on his own breakthrough plan, it would take at least a thousand years to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. With the Water God's Seal, he could save at least one or two hundred years, and it would be of great help in his journey to the Golden Immortal realm.
Ao Guang glanced at Qingdi and Bixiao, and asked triumphantly, "Why not? You should know that inviting Fellow Daoist Caishen over is not just my idea."
Li Shundao's calm gaze changed slightly, carrying a hint of questioning.
The Azure Emperor felt a pang of regret. He wished he hadn't argued with them earlier and had just given the prize to the human race, thus gaining a favor in return.
After glancing at Li Shundao, the Azure Emperor looked towards Bixiao, seeking an answer.
Bi Xiao rolled her eyes, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She cursed Qingdi and Ao Guang in her heart before looking at Li Shundao.
In fact, given her personality, she would have drawn her sword long ago, but now she hesitated slightly when facing Li Shundao.
Actually, once she and Ao Guang appeared, the competition for official positions between the human and dragon races was already over. There was no need for any Golden Immortals to compete, because no one could afford to gamble.
Therefore, after a dispute between her and the Azure Emperor Ao Guang, the human race successfully obtained a third-rank godhood, while the Dragon Clan Heavenly Court also obtained a third-rank godhood.
With only one third-rank divine position remaining, the matter could not be settled. All three wanted to obtain it. Faced with the prospect of profit, even the Azure Emperor was outwardly at odds with himself, which led to the subsequent invitation to the God of Wealth.
He shouldn't have listened to Xuan Fuzi and the others, saying things like, "The God of Wealth is at most a third-rank official, which is perfect for the Heavenly Court. With the favor of the Azure Emperor, the last divine position for the human race is easy to obtain."
Looking at Li Shundao, who acted like an old man, Bixiao gritted her teeth. It was truly easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. In the end, she closed her eyes and decided to give up. In any case, the human race already had enough of a third-rank god. There was no need to offend this mysterious Great Luo Golden Immortal, Li Shundao.
Seeing that Bixiao was no longer concerned, and since he wasn't exactly a loyal master, and having a third-rank deity was enough to report back, the Azure Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
"That's what Fairy Bixiao and I were thinking too. We were just a little worried about whether you could manage it, since there's a difference between the God of Wealth and the God of Water."
Ao Guang looked at the Azure Emperor with some admiration, feeling that he had met a kindred spirit. No wonder he was a celestial official; he could even make the dead seem alive.
Bixiao's face twitched involuntarily as she kept her eyes closed. She couldn't help but open her eyes and glance at the Azure Emperor, feeling that her worldview had been refreshed once again.
Li Shundao sat there watching the show with a gleeful smile. The more fiercely the three fought, the more advantageous it would be for him.
Just as Chen Fusheng said, the third-rank officials had already been assigned. It seems that no matter what world it is, behind-the-scenes deals... oops, competition always exists.
With the Azure Emperor, Bixiao, and Ao Guang all nodding in agreement, the competition for official positions between the human and dragon races officially came to an end.
The human race acquired a third-rank godhood and several fourth, fifth, and sixth-rank gods. The Heavenly Court made a pure profit this time, gaining a third-rank godhood and several fourth, fifth, and sixth-rank gods, and immediately extended its reach into the Water Department.
The Dragon Clan suffered a huge loss, with the Human Heavenly Court and Li Shundao, this fake Great Luo Immortal, taking a large chunk of their flesh. However, judging from Ao Guang's expression, it was unclear whether he was simply too wealthy for his large enterprise or had become accustomed to being taken advantage of; he appeared somewhat indifferent.
Li Shundao, on the other hand, came with trepidation but ended up leaving with nothing but a big prize.
Li Shundao greeted the three Qingdi people in a friendly manner, and left first, satisfied.
The Azure Emperor Ao Guangbixiao looked at Li Shundao, who had suddenly disappeared, and scanned the area again with a solemn expression, but found no spatial fluctuations.
The three exchanged glances. Li Shundao's elusive nature had greatly shocked them, especially his ability to seize spiritual treasures, which they had never heard of before.
The three of them left without saying anything more. The leaders of each tribe would take care of the rest. They needed to report Li Shundao's matter as soon as possible.
Li Shundao's incense-burning clone appeared directly in the God of Wealth World, but was taken back by Li Shundao.
No wonder the Azure Emperor and others couldn't find any trace of him.
Li Shundao directly took out a bronze official seal and threw it to Chen Fusheng, saying, "I've checked it, there's no problem."
Chen Fusheng nodded excitedly, looking at the water ripple patterns that flashed on the bronze seal from time to time, from which a rich water vapor emanated, but it looked that the craftsmanship was somewhat rough.
In fact, this bronze official seal was inherited from the ancient demon race's heavenly court. At that time, the dragon race was conquered by the demon race's heavenly court and accepted the divine office of the lineage of the gods of heaven, earth, and water. This bronze official seal was made at that time.
The material wasn't bad, but Chen Fusheng really couldn't agree with the refining method. If it weren't for the approval of heaven and earth, he would have wanted to remelt it completely.
No wonder the Heavenly Court has been hiding for so long, but this time it rushed out to act as the arbitrator. With these divine positions, the Water Department, one of the eight departments of the Heavenly Court, has at least some of its own people. With good fortune, merit, and the favor of the Heavenly Dao, the benefits are countless.
This explains why the Azure Emperor dared to contend with Bixiao, a disciple of the Sage, for a mere third-rank divine position. In the end, he not only failed to gain the chicken but also ended up with a mouthful of feathers.
Chen Fusheng refined it briefly, and for safety's sake, he placed the Water God Seal in the God of Wealth World and returned to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion alone.
Li Shundao also began to take up the God of Wealth Seal, communicate with the elders and divine messengers of the God of Wealth Cult, arrange for the God of Wealth to start preaching in the Central Plains, and prepare to invade at any time.
