Chapter 1206: What Intention
This is a collection of thousands upon thousands of statues, in scale exceeding most offerings.
Yang Dingtian said calmly, "It wasn't me who erected the statue for him. It was the people's heartfelt gratitude that led them to do so spontaneously. If you insist on putting all this blame on me, then you'd be wronging a good man, hehe."
"Yang Dingtian!"
The four Golden Immortals saw that he was always smiling, which made their anger even greater.
The Western Jin Xian shouted angrily, "We're discussing a very serious matter with you, don't be flippant. His acceptance of incense as a mere mortal is an act of overstepping his bounds. As the king, you have a great responsibility!"
Moreover, without your command, would the people of Daxia dare to erect a statue for an ordinary mortal and offer incense to it
Yang Ditian tightened his expression, sensing the wrong tone in his voice, and retorted, "While I am indeed the ruler of Daxia, my greatest responsibility is to ensure peace and prosperity for Daxia. I will not meddle in trivial matters like building statues."
Besides, even if I had ordered its construction, can you not see that the devout worship of the people below is something I could have commanded
If they didn't already have Ye Fu Sheng in their hearts, how could they offer such sincere and earnest worship
As soon as the words left his mouth, the four Golden Immortals were flushed with anger. Although they had known about Yang Tiang before, this was their first direct encounter. They never expected him to be so domineering!
Yes, the people below are truly devout. Even among them, some are insincere and cunning. Many of them do not worship out of faith, but secretly hope that their offerings will bring them wealth and peace.
Who can be enshrined with Ye Fu Sheng
Without exception, everyone hopes that Ye Fusheng can enjoy bliss in the void!
That's a huge difference!
"Tear it up!"
The Eastern Golden Immortal finally spoke, his tone was not heavy, but unquestionable: "According to the rules, no one except for immortals from the Upper Realm can accept offerings. Since you have already broken the rules, you must rectify it in time, Lord Yang Guo, give yourself three days to remove all the statues and prevent the error from continuing."
"Can't be dismantled!"
Yang Dingtian replied very crisply, loudly saying: “Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Even though I am the king, I cannot go against the tide of public opinion. To put it mildly, Daxia has just experienced great disasters and hardships, leaving it riddled with wounds. The people need faith to get through this difficult time.”
They chose Ye Fu Sheng as their faith, and as the sovereign, I cannot force my will upon them.
As soon as these words were spoken.
The four Golden Immortals' anger surged to their heads in an instant, a desire to swallow Yang Dingtian alive and skin him. In their eyes, Yang Dingtian was nothing, a small fry who dared to defy them
Although I was angry before, as long as he ordered the statue to be demolished, everything could be endured.
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!"
Nan Fang Jin Xian smiled ambiguously and said, "Don't forget, you are from the Upper Realm and manage mortals. You should represent the Upper Realm best. This matter isn't a big deal yet, but once it escalates and incurs public anger, your position as the King won't be secure!"
The Western Immortal scoffed, "Don't think we don't know Ye Fusheng's past. He slaughtered all four holy lands; he is the enemy of even the upper realms. If someone like him can still brazenly accept offerings, it's your serious dereliction of duty!"
The Eastern Golden Immortal said nonchalantly, “We understand that the common people need faith right now, but it shouldn't be that a mere mortal is treated as their faith. Let us four appear in the mortal realm and do some things visible to the populace. That way, we can naturally replace his statue with ours.”
This statement is well-balanced, skillfully employing both offense and defense, as well as reward and punishment.
I believe Yang Dingtian is a smart person who knows what to do.
But...
Yang Dingtian was unusually firm, no longer concealing himself, and directly said: "I've said it before, the statue is a spontaneous act by the people. As the lord of the country, I cannot interfere. If you are here only about the statue, then you can leave. This lord can only say that he is powerless!"
"You!"
"Yang Dingtian!"
"What did you say"
"You dare to disagree!"
Four celestial immortals glared furiously, their eyes blazing. As celestial immortals, they had long forgotten how many centuries it had been since they last felt such anger. But this time, someone had truly touched their scales.
Facing the raging anger, Yang Dingtian didn't show any fear. If it weren't for many things he couldn't say directly, he would have refuted them outright. When Daxia was about to be devastated, you guys didn't offer help or even show your faces.
Now that your incense offerings have dwindled, you still dare to claim to serve the people.
How dare you!
"Farewell!"
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 inside.
The Northern Golden Immortal roared angrily, “Yang Dingtian, the reason we speak with you is to give you a chance. You must understand that the ruler of Xia Country is not eternal, while our positions as Golden Immortals are permanent and everlasting. What supports your ability to talk now is not you yourself, but your position as ruler!”
Threat!
This simply means if you don't agree, we'll settle the score later.
Yang Dingtian stopped where he was, a cold smile playing on his lips. "As you said, I am still the sovereign. As the sovereign, I still carry the aura of Daxia upon me. What can you do to me"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The four Golden Immortals were almost furious, wanting to unleash their power on Yang Dingtian. It would be effortless, a few simple moves would be enough to obliterate him. However, he bore the weight of the Great Xia's will, so they truly couldn't make a move!
"Get out of the way!"
Yang Dingtian roared and continued striding forward, his aura surging with every step. The Qi of the Great Xia Dynasty enveloped him, as if he intended to forcefully break through the golden light.
Four celestial immortals saw this and, although their hearts were filled with boundless hatred, they had no choice but to retract their energy. The reason was simple: if he truly relied on his Qi Luck to forcefully break through, the Xia Dynasty's Qi Luck would be damaged, and this land would once again be in turmoil.
With the current momentum of the Great Xia, it is simply unable to bear it.
If the Upper Reaches send others to investigate, I can't bear the consequences either!
He... He's just relying on the fact that we both can't afford to lose!
"Arrogant to the extreme, arrogant to the extreme!"
"If he weren't still the ruler, how could he have left unharmed tonight!"
"A mere mortal dares to defy a celestial immortal like me! When I relinquish my throne, it will be the day he meets his demise!"
They grumbled angrily, but remained there for a long time.
He cursed for a while.
The Jinxian standing in the east suddenly spoke, frowning and saying, "Do you guys feel that Yang Dingtian's attitude is a little off"
The remaining three Golden Immortals looked over, their faces filled with confusion.
Dongfang Jinxian pondered for a moment and continued, "Although this is our first encounter, our identities are not those of mere small celestial immortals. For him to be so domineering, is it truly his nature, or does he have ulterior motives"eing, upon hearing this, softened her expression somewhat, but still said: "I have had some realizations today and need to fully comprehend them. It's not the right time for a game of wits. If you wis...
