Chapter 409: The Plan Will Come to Life
In Mo City, in the courtyard of the Mohist leader.

Although the new moon in the sky was dim, the leader of the Mohist school was still looking towards the direction of the Six-Ring Mechanical City. The only thing on his body, a pair of exquisite tortoise-shell glasses, reflected a round of moonlight.

This round of moonlight sank into the dream world from the veins of the real world through the imaginary bridge built by the Mohists. In the huge bright moon system, Hu Wenlang held the ink pen and waved it, connecting the dreams of the people one by one, allowing the moonlight to spread from the Machinery City to the Mo City, increasing from a hundred thousand people to a million!

This huge dream of the bright moon has undergone some kind of qualitative change. The vast power gently ripples in the illusory dream, setting off a bright moon tide that ordinary people cannot see. The tide rises and falls, slowly calming down and changing people's dreams, allowing them to sleep better in their dreams. Some lunar light is sprinkled on the soul to help the soul relax, allowing the disordered 'spirit' produced by the ink stone to settle down first, and then replenish it to the two images of spirit and energy.

Even though this was a scene that the Mohist master Tian Fu had seen more than a dozen times, he still couldn't help but smile knowingly. When the Mingyue system expanded to millions of people, the changes in the fate of countless living beings would be enough to affect Tian Fu, the Taoist master of the world.

A brand new road was formed before Tian's father's eyes, but it was still mostly illusory and the way forward was unclear. But just like the bright moon sinking into the dream world, this was a road to heaven, and there was at least a chance to deduce the Mohist tradition to the level of a sub-sage.

Next to Tian's father, Mo Jian, a disciple who was dressed very similarly to Tian's father, bowed slightly and asked, "Teacher, are you still hesitating?"

Father Tian retracted his gaze. In front of this disciple who had followed him for nearly a hundred years, he did not act like the number one in Mohist school or the best in the world. Instead, he frankly revealed his hesitation and weakness.

He sighed, "In these troubled times, I am not confident that my own Taoism will override the safety of the entire Mo City, so I am hesitant about this step."

Mo Jian frowned slightly. He knew what Father Tian meant. If Father Tian decided to change the Taoist tradition, even if the Mingyue system had achieved initial results, the adjustment period between the Taoist traditions would still take time. During this period, Father Tian's combat effectiveness would decline, and he would lose his threat to many external forces.

Mo Jian thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, I think now is the best time to change the orthodoxy."

Father Tian tilted his head slightly, "Why?"

"The orthodoxy of Taoism is not only about winning the support of the people, but also about winning the support of one person!"

Mo Jian's words somewhat violated the Mohist principle of "universal love", but Tian's father still nodded slightly.

At this point, he had already clearly distinguished between ideal and reality, so when Zhou Tieyi proposed that "human heart is like an abyss, we must constantly liberate and develop productivity to meet the people's growing material and spiritual needs", he did not scold him at first, but added another sentence after this sentence, to achieve human progress and social perfection, as the core idea of ​​his new Taoism.

To achieve this, as Mo Jian said, not only does it require the support of the people, but it also requires the emergence of a unique person who can lead the people and accomplish the change, hence the title of "saint".

Times create heroes, and heroes also create times.

Mo Jian walked to the desk next to him, picked up a newspaper, and handed it to Tian's father, "Teacher."

Father Tian glanced at the headline of the newspaper, "A Petition to Erect Statues of Sages in Academies Across the World." The person who wrote the petition was Ke Anran, a genius who turned from Confucianism to Taoism.

To ordinary people, this is a very normal thing. To Confucian scholars, this is a manifestation of Ke Anran's inclination towards Confucianism, although the Taoist Master, Buddha, Confucian Sage, Holy Emperor, and the Emperor of Daxia are all collectively called saints.

However, placing statues of saints in academies seems to represent Confucian saints more than anyone else.

But as a great figure of the Mohist school and one of the best people in the world, Tian's father knew more than ordinary people. Especially after the Emperor of Daxia learned that the Mingyue System had achieved a decisive success, he sent the crown prince to the north to supervise the army, and on the other hand began to accept Ke Anran's "Memorial on the Erection of the Sage's Statue in All Academies in the World".

This kind of specific statue of the saint is itself a huge way of gathering faith. In particular, the Mohist school has received a specific implementation policy. The court has made it clear in the policy that in order to balance the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the statue of the saint does not have fine facial carvings or specific clothing processing, only leaving a rough outline.

In the eyes of those who are interested in this, it is just like the sun trying to hide in the night. The Emperor of Great Xia has already decided on the orthodoxy and has begun to implement it!

And this is also the reason why Mo Jian told Tian's father that he should make a prompt decision!
Mo Jian continued, "The emperor cannot kill Marquis Zhou and you directly, as this will only slow down his cultivation and eventually lead to his death from a stubborn disease. But he is the emperor of Daxia after all, and he will get a lot of feedback for everything you and Marquis Zhou do. In addition, someone has carefully designed a path for him, so he wants to compete with you and Marquis Zhou to see who can reach the 'other side' faster."

"Now that His Majesty has begun to enter the third rank, none of us knows how long he will stay between the third and second ranks. After all, the more reforms Marquis Zhou makes, the richer and stronger Daxia will be. In theory, his progress will be faster. If Teacher doesn't fight for it, he may never catch up."

Father Tian sighed lightly. What his disciple Mo Jian said made sense. The Emperor of Great Xia had already passed the stage of "damaging the Dao", but he was still stuck on a road that was no longer viable. Every day of delay would make it more difficult to deal with the offensive of the Emperor of Great Xia in the future.

Once the Emperor of Great Xia obtains the sub-saint power that belongs entirely to him, without having to reach the status of a saint, he and Zhou Tieyi will both survive the risk of death. They will definitely not use the power of various parties to restrain the Emperor of Great Xia as they do now.

After sighing, the bright moonlight in Tian's tortoise-shell glasses dimmed, from full and perfect to dim and obscure. Tian looked at Mo Jian and said seriously, "If I prove that this path is not feasible, then the responsibility of the Mohist orthodoxy will be handed over to you in the future."

Mo Jian bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes, teacher."

······
Two days later, the Mingyue System rose and fell in the dream, and the Bridge of Imaginary Numbers opened again, guiding the Mingyue System to the Shantong Mansion. During this process, the eyes of Xuandu Mountain, Nananda Temple, Mocheng and other world-class people gathered here, ready to deal with Shendao at any time. However, surprisingly, Shendao had no intention of taking action during this process. In the Baizhishan mining area, Zhou Tieyi, as the guide at the other end, also successfully received the Mingyue System.

Over the past ten days, with the help of Hu Wenlang, the Mingyue System has completed the second step of the Mingyue entering dreams experiment and achieved great success. The third step of the Mingyue System is also particularly critical.

In the mining area, the miners who were deeply troubled by the inkstone suffered more mental and physical shocks than the people in the Six Ring City, so using the Mingyue System to comfort them in dreams was effective, but the effect was not long-lasting.

Therefore, at the beginning, Zhou Tieyi wanted to use the cloud talisman method to collect the light of the Mingyue system, form a Mingyue "healing talisman", and then combine this talisman with the Mohist mechanical technique to cover up his true intentions.

So now is the time to realize the third step, the moonlight entering the talisman. Strands of moonlight shine from the dream into reality, and following the moonlight, the first person to appear in Zhou Tieyi's study in the Baizhishan Mine Area is Gongshu Ting.

He was still wearing a luxurious black suit with gold thread, his lower body was integrated with the suspended platform, and his virtual eye was rotating back and forth in the empty left eye of the mechanism.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Gongshu."

Zhou Tieyi greeted.

Gongshu Ting frowned and hummed. He frowned not because of Zhou Tieyi, but because Shendao did not take action when the Mingyue system traveled through the dream.

However, I wanted to be on guard in the dream, so I let him become virtual and hide in the dream world temporarily constructed by the Mingyue system. It was normal for Shendao to make a prediction and not take action at the first time.

Things became more difficult after that.

The Mingyue System is suspended in the dream of the Six-Ring Mechanical City. Because the Six-Ring Mechanical City was built thousands of years ago and there are Mohist giants ready to provide assistance at any time, even if several first-rank masters besiege and seize it, the Six-Ring Mechanical City can still protect the Mingyue System for hundreds of breaths. By that time, the first-rank masters from other parts of Daxia would have already provided support, so the Six-Ring Mechanical City is capable of protecting the Mingyue System.

But it is different for Shantong Mansion. This time when Mingyue System traveled through the dream, many first-rank officials in Daxia turned their attention to it, ready to provide support at any time. However, it is impossible for the first-rank officials to keep their attention on Shantong Mansion forever, especially in a small Baizhishan mining area.

Once they relax, the group of middle-level practitioners in the Baizhishan mining area will not be able to protect the Mingyue System. It will be like a child carrying gold through a busy market, which may be spied on by the gods at any time and is full of dangers.

After hesitating for a while, Gongshu Ting said to Zhou Tieyi, "Although the Mingyue System is a good idea, we also have to consider the cost. The construction of the Mingyue System has used up all the available reserves of the Kingdom of God in the Machinery City and Mo City."

Gongshu Ting's words were very tactful, but his meaning was very simple. He told Zhou Tieyi not to be too idealistic and that he only needed to build two sets of Mingyue systems in Mo City and Jigua City. Then they could be distributed to the miners using talismans. Although the miners would receive less benefits in the process, it was at least more realistic and better than making wedding dresses for others.

At the same time, the facts are the same as Gongshu Ting said. A set of Mingyue system requires eight complete kingdoms of God, at least of the third grade. This does not include the large number of fragments of kingdoms of God that Zhou Tieyi obtained from the Mohist and Gongshu families by abusing his power for personal gain.

At the same level, it is very difficult for the various schools of thought to kill a third-grade god in the Kingdom of God. If they want to kill it, at least a second-grade god is needed. But even if a second-grade god takes action, most of the time they can only get incomplete fragments of the Kingdom of God, and cannot get a complete Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is a top-level treasure and its consumption is extremely high. Therefore, the eight complete Kingdoms of God that were refined into the attribute of nothingness did empty the inventory accumulation of the Mohist and Gongshu schools for nearly a hundred years.

Zhou Tieyi chuckled and said, "Teacher Gongshu, the Shantong Mansion is ready to make a move, not just for the Mingyue System."

Gongshu Ting asked thoughtfully, "Have you heard any news?"

Zhou Tieyi did not answer directly. Of course he had heard the news. He himself was even contributing to the occurrence of the whole thing. The revival of the Goddess of Taihang Mountain was imminent. Even without the Mingyue System, earth-shaking changes would have taken place here. The Mingyue System was only catalyzing the entire change. To use the words of his previous life, it was making the storm come even more violently.

Under the Mountain Copper Palace, a vein of the earth forms a coiled snake shape. With the help of the power of the vein of the earth, there is a kingdom of God hidden in it. Various minerals in the kingdom of God are shining with colorful brilliance, like stars decorating the sky. The molten mountain red copper that is treasured by the middle-grade cultivators is dotted here in patches. The saying "live by the mountain and eat by the mountain" is also valid for gods.

Above the earth, a large area of ​​Huiyue flowers burst into firefly light, illuminating the entire kingdom of God. In the center of the kingdom of God, the owner of Dongzhen Kiln had a solemn expression. On the one hand, it was because the resurrection of the Taihang Goddess was imminent, and on the other hand, it was because of Cao Shan, who he invited to be his "guest".

For more than a month, Cao Shan did not hide his origins, and with the power of the Dongzhen Kiln owner, Cao Shan's whereabouts were naturally confirmed.

This person was indeed a food god who was killed by Daxia hundreds of years ago. He was a wild god before and had not received any systematic Shinto knowledge inheritance.

The owner of Dongzhen Kiln would of course like to recruit such a subordinate god who has great potential and whose divine authority can expand the scope of his own divine power. In order to avoid becoming enemies with such a subordinate, the owner of Dongzhen Kiln always uses gentle means.

For example, when he learned that Cao Shan had no defensive or offensive secret treasures, and that he had just revived from his fall and only accidentally obtained the Taixu Illusionary Face, and obtained some Taixu Illusion Coins through the Taixu Illusionary Face, the owner of the Dongzhen Kiln readily exchanged it for a defensive secret treasure for Cao Shan at an extremely low price. The hundreds of Taixu Illusion Coins he received from Cao Shan were only a dozen or so of the price of this secret treasure.

He believed that Cao Shan also knew this, so after finding out Cao Shan's origins, he was worried that Cao Shan would be "kidnapped" by other gods. The owner of the Dongzhen Kiln accelerated his efforts to urge Cao Shan to become his subordinate god, repeatedly explaining the benefits of "refining the red dust". On the other hand, he deliberately concealed Cao Shan's affairs, not allowing Cao Shan to participate in the gatherings of the major kiln owners in Shantong Mansion, and not revealing Cao Shan's affairs to the kiln owners around him.

But after he hinted several times, Cao Shan refused on the grounds that he needed to think seriously about it.

"Master of the kiln, Lord Cao Shan wishes to see you."

A relative from the kingdom of God respectfully stepped forward to report.

The owner of Dongzhen Kiln said hurriedly, "Didn't I tell you that when Lord Cao comes to see me, you can bring him in directly without reporting to me. Go and invite him in quickly!"

In fact, Cao Shan had already been taken outside the temple by the servants of the gods, so he naturally heard the words of the master of the Dongzhen kiln. After he was led in, he said in a rather sighing tone, "Thank you for not abandoning me, the kiln master. Please accept my greetings."

Cao Shan was about to bow, and the owner of Dongzhen Kiln hurried forward and held Cao Shan's arm, "What do you mean, Lord Cao?"

Cao Shanyong spoke with a sigh, "I have been wandering for half my life, and now I have met a wise master. I am filled with emotion."

The owner of Dongzhen Kiln was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"
