Starting From Zero

Chapter 5 Even Gods Play Politics

Bai Hu explained: "It is indeed my fault for not doing things well, but there are reasons for it. "

"Reason?" Jade Emperor almost jumped up from his seat. "Are you telling me your reasons? Why are you telling me why you did this mission?"

Suzaku suddenly intervened and said: "This person knows the news about our master Biling. As apprentices, we have the obligation to find the master. Heaven can't object to us finding the master, right?"

Erlang Zhenjun suddenly said: "What Suzaku said...!"

"It's not your turn to interrupt when I'm talking." Suzaku raised his hand and a red ball of light flew out, hitting Zhenjun Erlang's chest. Erlang Zhenjun was knocked away as if he had been hit hard, taking with him several gods standing behind him.

Oh my god! Why is this Suzaku so fierce?

The Jade Emperor said angrily: "Although you are a divine guardian, Suzaku, in name you are still under the control of my heavenly court. Don't go too far."

"Jade Emperor, please calm down. Suzaku lost control because of his master." Qinglong came up and pulled Suzaku back and defended her.

Originally, if Qinglong gave the Jade Emperor a step down, the matter would be over. Although Erlang Zhenjun is a general in heaven, he does not have a very high position, and the four divine beasts are equivalent to the kings. It is not a big deal for the prince to be a vanguard general. Just apologize and no one will hold him accountable. But the Suzaku didn't buy it. After breaking away from Qinglong, she shouted: "Since the Jade Emperor knows that we are only nominally returning to heaven for dispatch, he should give us a certain amount of respect. This time we have a reason for what happened, and the Jade Emperor will not investigate." How can you reprimand us first if you know it well?”

"You...you...!" The Jade Emperor was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

Guanyin was a little stiff when she saw the situation, so she opened her mouth and smoothed things over: "Suzaku, you are also a divine beast, so you still have to be a little more accommodating to the etiquette of heaven. As for...!"

"Since the master is not from our Chinese protoss, it is normal for us not to understand this matter. It is the law of heaven to respect teachers and follow their father's ways, and it is also the law of heaven for us to go to trouble to find our master."

I almost laughed while listening. Suzaku's words were quite harsh. Guanyin intervened as a peacemaker. It was originally intended to calm down the dispute, but it was purely an act of dissuading the fight. As a result, Suzaku came up and said that the master is not from the Chinese Protoss, so Guanyin was rushed away. The sanctimoniousness of what is said in the following paragraphs is actually fallacy, and is simply looking for trouble.

According to legend, Guanyin is indeed a native of China, but Buddhism was not created in China. Although Buddhism was developed in China, its roots are not in China. Guanyin is a disciple of Tathagata. There was no Tathagata and Guanyin when the Chinese protoss made gods, so Suzaku said she was not a Chinese protoss. The translation of Zhuque's words just now means that Guanyin is a foreigner and is here just as a guest, so he told her to mind her own business.

After hearing this, Guanyin's face changed several times and finally she said nothing. But of course Tathagata couldn't just sit there when he saw his disciple being bullied, not to mention that Suzaku had already scolded him with his words just now.

"I am from the Immortal Buddha family. Although I am from Tianzhu, the third princess was born in China. Moreover, my Buddhist family has also done a lot for the descendants of China over the years. How can I be considered an outsider?"

The Jade Emperor hurriedly helped Tathagata and said: "Suzaku's words are too superficial. Master Tathagata is going to the Buddha outside, and he is also considered a member of China. How can he say it beyond words!"

After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, even Yuanshi Tianzun spoke. "The Suzaku must not be unreasonable. Tathagata is also from the lineage of Buddhism, and the Tao is unified and cannot be divided into internal and external." Yuanshi Tianzun is the original god of Chinese local Buddhism. Later, after the introduction of Tianzhu Buddhism, the two religions merged. No matter how you say it, it is a system, so Yuanshi Tianzun still has to speak for Tathagata.

Seeing that they were about to start the Buddhist Debate Conference, I quickly shouted: "Stop!"

Because it was so sudden, the gods around me stopped and looked at me.

"You are all great masters. Can you be a little more efficient in your work? I am not here to hold a debate today! In fact, the matter is very simple. Not only did the four of them not give me the prize that was supposed to be mine, but they blew up my whole city. If I didn’t have overseas territory, even the guild would be disbanded. What do you think of my loss?”

"This...!" The Jade Emperor's eyes began to glance sideways. The matter was too difficult and he couldn't make up his mind.

Leader Hong Jun saw that the people below were speechless, and finally said: "Ziri, you have your own reasons for being hit like this. The God Realm is not directly responsible, so...!"

I interrupted what Master Hong Jun was saying. "Okay, I understand. I deserve to be unlucky anyway. In this case, I admit it. You don't need to compensate me for anything. I don't want any rewards. If anyone asks me in the future, they will say that because I invaded other countries, the Heavenly Sect I brought the four divine beasts down. After that, the four divine beasts drove out my guild and I had no choice but to not even dare to enter the land of China, so I had to live in exile overseas."

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he jumped up immediately. "We didn't let the four divine beasts do anything to you. I sent them there to reward you. The destruction of your city was their own doing, not my order."

I asked back: "Because I invaded other countries, Heaven sent the four divine beasts down. Is it true?"

"Of course." Jade Emperor nodded.

"Is it true that the four divine beasts demolished my city and destroyed my guild?"

"Yes, but...!"

"No need for butts. Since what I said is true, what else can you say? Is it justified to tell the truth?"

"This...that...!" A large group of gods hesitated for a long time without even uttering a complete sentence.

Finally, it was the leader Hong Jun who spoke: "Although what you said is true, but if you put it together like this, people will misunderstand that we are not allowed to expand externally!"

"How do people understand that it's none of my business?"

The Jade Emperor hurriedly said: "Well, the more land there is, the more incense will be. When you say that, no one dares to expand, doesn't it mean that we will never be able to get more incense?"

"That's your business. I don't care about incense! You don't have to compensate me anyway, so there's nothing wrong. I'll leave first."

"Hey! Wait!" The Jade Emperor quickly stopped me.

I turned back and said: "Is there anything else? Do you still want to continue to punish me? It doesn't matter, I have nothing anyway, and I don't care how many more reincarnations I have. But let me say it first, since I can't live without you here . Then we have to change the country!”

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I will be an exile, and then I will eat away at each city little by little, and rebuild a new country of my own on the land of China. By the way, I have even thought of a name, and it will be called New China. Everything in my new country It’s all the same as the original land of China, just without you guys.”

Suzaku immediately said to me viciously: "Okay, I will kill you now. Go ahead and work hard! I want to see how you build a new country. You build a city and I will demolish one." Suzaku said and was about to take action.

Leader Hong Jun flicked his finger, and a small white ball flew out and hit Suzaku's halberd. Zhuque screamed, her body turned several times in the air and fell flat on her back. Her halberd flew out of the hall and was nailed to the back door of Biyou Palace in the distance.

"Master, you...?" Before Suzaku could finish speaking, Master Hong Jun stretched out a hand to separate the space, and Suzaku flew up. Leader Hong Jun flipped his palm, and Suzaku hit a pillar in the hall with a thud. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get down, and she couldn't even make a sound.

I said: "Zi Ri. The leader said this not to say that he will not compensate you, but that you have a responsibility. Our compensation is to reward you for your contribution to the expansion of our land in China, not because Heaven owes you."

Hehe, in the end, you still want to save face, these old bastards. I just want the benefits anyway. If you want face, I'll give it to you, as long as you give me benefits. "Since God said this, I admit that I went a little too far, but please forgive me. My power was not established overnight. It was lost to me in such a short time. Of course I would be very sad. If Please don’t worry about any verbal conflicts.”

"You can teach me." Leader Hong Jun walked down with a smile. Only now did I realize that this guy's skin looked like that of a young man, and he was actually half a head taller than me. If it weren't for his white hair and beard, I would have mistaken him for a middle-aged man in his forties. He walked up to me and said, "Actually, your loss is easy to deal with."

"Oh? Can you conjure it up?"

"Hahahaha!" Leader Hong Jun laughed, even more energetic than me. "Tao, magic, and magic are actually pretty much the same. Although they are magical to mortals, they are not actually omnipotent. But we are gods after all. As long as we help, the city can help you restore your original appearance within a day. .”

"What about my special items? My personnel have lost levels, their data has been damaged, and some special creatures have died. How do you calculate these? Also, these are the lost wages, product breach fees, and mental damage fees. These are all How to calculate it?"

"If the items can be repaired, we will help you repair them. If they are not, you can buy them from the forces that originally sold them to you. We will be responsible for the cost. If the other party does not sell them, we will help you clear them. You don't have to worry about the creatures. With our strength Everything can be resurrected. In terms of data, we try our best to collect and repair it. If it doesn't work, we can compensate you with other things. Level is the best, we have many ways to help you recover. If you are really not satisfied in the end, we can let the fourth The holy beast will return to heaven. As for the mental damage fees and the like, we will discuss them slowly in the end, and I promise to give you a satisfactory answer. We will restore your city first and complete the first step, and then we will discuss."

I am quite satisfied with the proposal from Master Hong Jun. Anyway, this is only the first compensation, and there will be follow-up negotiations. And as long as they help repair the city, I can take advantage of it. There are no accounting personnel in Heaven, so we can be a little exaggerated in our accounting. Hehe, if the culprit appears, he will not be able to make any mistakes.

In order to get a general idea of ​​the damage, I followed a few bosses to inspect all the damaged cities. I just now discovered that Nantianmen is a good thing. You can open it wherever you want. As long as you don't set a foreign territory, it doesn't matter where you are. You can even reach the urban area we just occupied in Indonesia directly.

Those areas in the country are basically in ruins, so there isn't much of a problem. The key is the overseas territories. The land we just got in Indonesia is now gone in the cities. The territory becomes very dangerous. The level of national borders is higher than the city's sphere of influence. Even if the city is no longer in the national border, it will not change. For example, if a Mongolian guild built a city in the Mongolian area of ​​​​China. Even if our country does not have a city nearby, it is absolutely impossible for the city territory established by the allied guild to extend into China. The territory in Indonesia has been confirmed to be Chinese territory. Although the city is gone, the national border will not change. However, because there are no cities in this area, any guild building a city here can easily turn this place into their territory. In theory, domestic guards can fight back. But after all, this will take a long time, and if it fails, it will be equivalent to the reduction of the country's territory, which is not a good thing.

After seeing the ruins of our city, the Jade Emperor said to Qinglong: "You have demolished such a good city. If people from other countries occupy it, our country's territory will shrink. You have no idea what to do." Move?"

Qinglong didn't know how to answer the call and could only sink. Suzaku was tied up with a special rope by leader Hong Jun. Now he is struggling but can't say anything. The other two mythical beasts could only nod and accept criticism. Dare not say a word.

I said to Master Hong Jun: "It was not easy to conquer the city here. How many lives have we sacrificed for this place! This is great, if we say no, it will be gone. And what makes us even more chilling is that we are not driven away by the enemy. They left. But they were driven away by their own people. The guards of other countries protected their land and fought to the death with us. Our guards were good and they didn't help. They finally won and even demolished us. You How heartbreaking it is for us. We risked our lives for our country, but in the end we were betrayed. How can we accept this? When we were hunted down, my people left the city crying. This spiritual loss cannot be tolerated. It’s an estimate.” Anyway, I tried to make the matter as big as possible, and the more tragic the story, the more compensation.

Suzaku struggled immediately when she heard what I said, but her mouth was gagged and she couldn't say anything. She could only threaten me with her eyes. I hurriedly hid behind Leader Hong Jun and said, "Look. She is threatening me again. I think I'd better not take anything! In case she comes to retaliate against me again."

"You are a hero, how can we let her take revenge on you!" The Jade Emperor also came up and said affectionately: "As long as you work harder and continue to expand your territory in the future, we will definitely provide the most powerful support, and this will never happen again. Something happened."

"I don't think so!" I said deliberately to sound depressed. "She is also one of the four divine beasts, so trying to deal with us is like crushing ants. You can't send people to watch over me. If you don't pay attention, she will definitely destroy my city again."

"That's it!" Leader Hong Jun thought for a moment and said to the old man next to him: "Ning Ya."

Yuanshi Tianzun came over and saluted: "Master, what are your instructions?"

"Does the Holy Land of Divine Beasts still have backup mythical beasts?"

"Are you going to replace the Suzaku beast?"

Leader Hong Jun nodded. "Suzaku is stubborn and willful. He is no longer suitable to serve as a divine guardian. The one who guards the land of China must be a divine beast with a generous heart and benevolence. Suzaku no longer meets these conditions."

"Master, there are currently three replacements for the Suzaku Divine Beast. If you need to replace them, I will do it immediately."

"Well, you go and come back quickly. The responsibility of the guardian is very important. The divine beast that serves as the guardian must be the most benevolent. Don't create another one like this to cause chaos for us!"

After hearing what they said, Suzaku next to her struggled even more fiercely. Although her mouth could not speak, her nose kept humming as if she was in a hurry, but none of us paid attention to her. Although the other three mythical beasts looked at Suzaku who was tied up like a rice dumpling with sympathetic eyes, they were not able to protect themselves now and had no chance to intervene at all.

I suddenly asked Master Hong Jun: "Master? What should I do with this Suzaku?"

Leader Hong Jun glanced at Suzaku, who was squirming like a big maggot, and said: "Since there is already a new appointment, there is no need to keep this. Take away the Nanmingli Fire Pearl, break up her intelligence and body, and give it to Huoyang Zhen After you are burned, you return to heaven and earth. Divine beasts are nurtured by heaven and earth, and they should return to heaven and earth after death."

This leader Hong Jun is simply more ruthless than me. He will immediately drag away those who are not needed for humane destruction.

"yes."

I turned around and walked to Suzaku and stretched out a hand. The rope that tied Suzaku was suddenly retracted. Suzaku jumped up and turned around to run away, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, she was pulled back by a force. Suzaku looked at me and wanted to retreat in fear, but his body was completely controlled and he couldn't dodge at all. I put my hand on her mouth and pinched her mouth open, and then the leader Hong Jun next to me flicked a small red pill as big as a glass marble into her mouth.

After I let go and stepped away, Suzaku kept coughing, and suddenly a red pill as big as a billiard ball was spit out. I stretched out my hand to catch the big red pill, and suddenly a small red pill appeared on the big red pill, which seemed to be the small pill that Hong Jun's leader had just popped in. I handed the two red pills to Master Hong Jun and stepped away. Suzaku over there had collapsed to the ground, panting quickly and looking very weak.

"Leader, can you give me this red thing? Suzaku has made me so miserable, is it not too much to compensate for it?"

Leader Hong Jun immediately smiled and said: "In terms of value, it is indeed not excessive, but I cannot give this to you, because without the Nanmingli Fire Pearl, the next Suzaku will not be able to guard one side. You don't want to lose one of China's four divine beasts, right?"

"Well, I'm not an unreasonable person. Since this thing is so important, let's forget it."

Leader Hong Jun said to the heavenly soldiers next to him: "Drag this Suzaku to disperse his spiritual wisdom and then incinerate it!"

After hearing these words, Suzaku, who was already dying, immediately struggled to get up and wanted to run, but fell down again before taking two steps. Without the Nanmingli Fire Pearl, her body was severely hit. Now even ordinary people The power cannot be reached. Suzaku, who fell to the ground, looked at the approaching heavenly soldiers and could only grit his teeth and crawl back. His survival instinct was so strong that he had to crawl out even if he couldn't stand up.

Qinglong and the three of them looked at Suzaku, unable to do anything. Leader Hong Jun's status is transcendent, and there is nothing they can do. Xuanwu simply closed his eyes and refused to watch this scene. He was the kindest and most honest among the four holy beasts, and he really couldn't bear to see Suzaku in his current miserable state.

Suzaku cried and crawled, but the heavenly soldiers came to her side in a few steps and lifted her up. She cried: "Sure, spare my life. I don't dare to do it anymore. Just let me go this time! I don't want to be completely destroyed! Please, even if you let me fall into the six realms, I will die." Yes! Please!”

Who is Master Hong Jun? He hasn't seen anything in so many years. Hard-hearted is no longer enough to describe him. People's fraternity is a great love for all living beings, not a concern for a certain creature, so for Suzaku, no matter how much he pleads, it is in vain.

Two heavenly soldiers lifted up Suzaku and dragged her backwards. Another divine general picked up a strange little hammer and aimed it at her head, ready to smash it down. It seemed that this was an artifact that could destroy the mind. Suzaku cried even harder when he saw that thing, and the other three mythical beasts turned their backs and couldn't bear to look down.

The general's hammer reached its highest point and was about to fall when I suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

"Oops!" The god general suddenly changed his posture when he heard my voice, swinging the hammer in a circle and falling over. "Why are you shouting when you're fine?"

"She has hurt me so badly, why don't she let me knock her out?"

The general looked at the leader Hong Jun. The leader nodded, so the general handed the hammer to me. "Be careful! This thing is very powerful, don't accidentally knock someone else."

"knew."

I took the hammer and stood in front of Suzaku and looked at her with a smile, but her expression had changed from panicked to completely lifeless. She was desperate, and her current expression clearly showed that she was unable to resist and was being slaughtered.
