In the early stage of starting a business, it is essential for leaders to lead by example.
Phoenix has already passed that period and does not need her to carry weapons and charge into the battlefield. What she needs to do is to wait for the main force to enter the North Gate of Heaven and the Ling Xiao Treasured Hall, and then add a "Ta" to Wu Tian's full name, followed by ascending the throne with the support of his subjects. The task is considered completed when she does not participate in the battle, allowing her subordinates to gain merits. Only with merits can they be promoted and bestowed titles.
Lung Ji was discussing anxiously with the maid of the Queen Mother of the West, Dong Shuang Cheng, and Xu Feiqiong on the side. She was worried about her mother's whereabouts, especially since none of the parties had any news. It was as if a potential Saint who could sever two bodies had suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
"Aiyu," Lung Ji knew that it was not the right time to ask this question, but he couldn't help himself. "Where did mother go?"
The Phoenix will naturally not blame her, as she has nothing to do anyway. Let me help you calculate it once.
With the main body, moonlight and realm of Buddha, and herself combined, the three parties were able to derive a relatively peaceful hexagram. The rest was indiscernible.
"The Queen Mother should have fallen into the chaos realm, and it's hard to say exactly where she is. Don't worry, the hexagram shows that her safety is not something to be concerned about."
"What is said now is of no use. The main force has reached the crucial moment of the Battle of Jingnian. To leave the main force to go and search for an easy-going old mother-in-law is just ridiculous."
Moreover, the decaying Demon God is still blocking the door in the Chaos Realm. She won't go out to find the Queen Mother. The Chaos Realm is boundless, who knows where the Queen Mother is? This one will not be able to find it either.
She sat inside the ornate sedan chair, her gaze directed towards the mortal world.
Jing Wei walked over and whispered the question.
"Master, cutting off the connection between the heavens and earth, is this good or bad for Hongwu, or for the Three Realms?"
Jing Wei did not like fighting and killing. Most of the twenty-eight constellations went to join the battle at the North Gate, while she, as Wei Yue Yan, was still wandering around in the rear. Seeing that "Wu Tian" was about to cut off the connection between heaven and earth, she didn't understand his intention and came to ask her teacher.
Phoenix counter-asked, "Do you think this is good or bad?"
Jing Wei expressed her honest thoughts: "It should be good, right?"
Immortals to the immortals, mortals to the mortals.
If there were fewer immortals in the human world, she wouldn't have died in the East Sea as the daughter of Emperor Yan. If there was no spirituality on earth, she wouldn't have turned into Jing Wei, wandering on the countless rocks of the East Sea for countless years, trying to fill the sea with her last bit of resolve. Looking back now with restored clarity, it is truly absurd.
To come out and play haphazardly, to drown miserably, and then to fill the sea haphazardly as well - it's a complete joke.
Phoenix felt that such questions were meaningless. If someone else asked, she wouldn't answer, but since Jing Wei asked, she gave her some face.
She spoke with a serious face: "Do you know how much spiritual energy you consume in a day? Do you know how much spiritual energy an ordinary person consumes from birth to death?"
Jing Wei hadn't calculated this before, so she held up ten fingers and started counting slowly, feeling dizzy. She laughed dryly and commented, "This question seems a bit complex."
Phoenix threw the question back to her and left her to ponder.
In the eyes of the Phoenix, this is like calling for water conservation; it seems that the more water the common people use, the more guilt they feel. In reality, the amount of water consumed in a day by those golf courses where the wealthy enjoy themselves could last a lifetime for the common people. Are the wealthy happy? It's also not necessarily that they truly enjoy this sport; they do it for socializing and for some trivial matters that don't matter much.
To ask someone who has never tasted shark fins or seen the ocean to protect marine life.
To ask a person riding a bicycle to reduce carbon emissions and provide penguins with a place to live.
Is that appropriate?
It's the same in the current Hongwu world. As long as you defeat six sages and eliminate all those "big consumers" like Deng Chanyun, including the Hongwu world's spiritual energy will be abundant enough to last for tens of thousands of years or even billions of years for the creatures in the world to use.
In reality, Pan Gu turned his body into everything, using his own body to cultivate the Hongwu world. Deng Chanyun is not that great. She cannot commit suicide and will not give up her cultivation to become an ordinary person. She is still planning to continue on this "wasteful" path.
Jing Wei's question doesn't have a standard answer, and it's hard to say which side is right, at least in the Hongwu world.
After half an hour, Sun Fengyi rushed in with an urgent report, pointing to the south.
"Your Majesty, the one hundred and eight brothers including Gao Yan and Huang Zhen are on the verge of collapse!"
Phoenix glanced in the direction of the Southern Gate to the mortal realm, as Sun Fengyi had described, and it was indeed as he said. Even with a tight formation laid down by one hundred and eight disciples of the Qian Tang Sect and her assistance from the celestial scriptures, they were still no match for General Wu Wang's troops.
King Zhou may not be a capable ruler, but he is a qualified general. Many of the celestial soldiers and officers were once military figures from the Yin Dynasty, such as Dou Rong, the Star Lord of Wuqu, and Yu Hualong. These were all his subordinates. Facing their former sovereign, these people feel ashamed. Now that they are fighting, they are each fighting bravely. The one hundred and eight brothers are being besieged by enemies that outnumber them several times over, their formation is scattered, their magic is ineffective, and it looks like they are about to lose.
Phoenix shook her head gently. She can't send any reinforcements at the moment, and she can only ask them to hold on for a bit longer. According to her observation, these guys still have potential for improvement.
"Execute the emperor's edict. Award Gao Yan the title of 'Thunderous Governor of Hengming', to oversee the Thunder Department. Award Huang Zhen the title of 'Sub-director for Affairs in Three Thunderous Provinces'. Their comrades will also receive awards upon the conclusion of the battle. Go."
Sun Feng'er was a bit bewildered. The situation over there is precarious, and if there's no relief force, even some magic items would help. Why just grant an official title? Would that be effective?
The fact is that it actually works! Phoenix's title-granting measure has awakened Gao Yan's desire in his soul. Huang Zhen's reaction was normal, but Gao Yan, as the leader, was different. As soon as he heard that he would be granted an official title, the power of his magic increased by threefold and he was filled with energy.
He enlightened his brothers with emotion and persuaded them with reason.
Moved by the brotherhood and the old friendship with "Big Brother," each brother shed tears of emotion, and their bodies, which had been depleted of energy and magic, were once again infused with strength.
Gao Yan led his group of brothers to fight fiercely, directly pushing back the three thousand elite troops led by Dou Rong, the Star Lord of Wuqu.
Hearing the result, Sun Feng'er was completely dumbfounded. Could this work? He simply couldn't understand the profoundness behind it and could only think that Zi Wei Emperor had deep wisdom like the vast sea and sharp insight, possessing a grand vision and wisdom beyond his comprehension.
Phoenix was also very satisfied with the outbreak of Gao Yan and his brothers. As long as they can hold on for another half an hour, it will be enough. Looking at the current situation, if they keep fighting for another two hours, Gao Yan probably could lift the morale of his brothers. Indeed, there is still room for improvement!
