Chapter 19: The Primordial Land is Re-divided, and the Nine Provinces are Established Under Heaven
The mountains of immortal gold and divine essence, along with the immortal elixir fruit radiating boundless life essence, made even the powerful beings of the primordial world drool with envy. However, they restrained themselves, knowing that these were the possessions of the Heavenly Emperor and not something they could covet.
After putting the items away, Meng Chen looked at the leaders of the various prehistoric lineages and said gently:
"According to the agreement between me and the ancestral court, I will guard the Imperial Pass for 100,000 years after I die."
When the Mu family's deliveryman arrived, the divine sense of the Mu family's ancestor on his body communicated with Meng Chen, and they finally decided that a hundred years later, Meng Chen would go to guard the Imperial Pass.
The people of the prehistoric world nodded in agreement. The so-called guarding of the Imperial Pass for ten thousand years was just rhetoric, and they all understood that.
"In the next hundred years, I will transform the primordial world and do my best to restore it to its peak. As for those who attained enlightenment through unconventional means, I will also allow them to join the Heavenly Court..."
Meng Chen recounted his century-long plan to the powerful beings of the prehistoric world, striving to restore the cultivation environment of the prehistoric world within a hundred years and to recruit all the powerful beings of the prehistoric world into the Heavenly Court.
Faced with an ancestral court that has existed for hundreds of millions of years and has slumbered with no fewer than forty self-severed supreme beings, even Meng Chen, as the current emperor, does not have absolute confidence in destroying it.
Meng Chen then took out the twelve supreme dragon veins and handed them to the Queen Mother of the West, the Lord of Taiqing Dao, the Lord of Leize Kingdom, the God Lord Fuxi, the contemporary Nuwa, the Lord of Yuxu Palace, and the Lord of Jietian Sect, instructing them to plan how to deploy them.
Compared to him, these older generations understand the primordial world better.
The reason why the primordial world declined was that the supreme dragon veins were all drained away, the cultivation environment changed drastically, the essence of heaven and earth became extremely thin, and cultivation became difficult. Not to mention saints, even kings were hard to be born.
In the primordial world when the Emperor of No End reigned, there were only five supreme dragon veins.
Now that we have these twelve supreme dragon veins, and the Sun God Tree, a quasi-world tree, even if it's only for a short time, the cultivation environment of the primordial world can be greatly restored.
However, the group disagreed on the location where the supreme dragon vein should be placed.
The primordial world was divided into five regions, four seas, and nine heavens.
The five regions are the Eastern Wilderness, the Western Desert, the Northern Plains, the Southern Ridge, and the Central Plains.
The four seas refer to the four seas of the east, west, south, and north.
"I think we should deploy two units to each of the five regions of the Primordial World, and the extra two units to the East Sea and the South Sea."
The Palace Master of Jade Void Palace was the first to make the suggestion, but it was opposed by the Dragon King of the West Sea.
"What about my Western Sea? Doesn't my Western Sea deserve a dragon vein?!"
"That's right, and what about my North Sea? You old fool, Yu Xu, what do you take my North Sea for!"
The Demon Lord of the North Sea was also enraged. Why should only the East Sea and the South Sea be given the prize? Isn't the North Sea a sea too?
Being called an old man in front of so many people made the Jade Void Palace Master so angry that he blew his beard and glared. If the Heavenly Emperor hadn't been there, he would have definitely let this North Sea Demon Lord taste the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover of his Jade Void Palace and refine it to death!
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, the Queen Mother of the West quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Yu Xu, Shen Zun, don't be anxious. Twelve dragon veins are enough to share across the nine regions of the primordial world. Don't let this ruin your harmony."
The Jade Void Palace Master glared at the North Sea Demon Lord before saying nothing more. The North Sea Demon Lord was a mirage demon who had attained enlightenment; his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Great Saint realm, and he was not far from becoming a Quasi-Emperor.
Because of the existence of Kunpeng, there are few living beings in the North Sea. Kunpeng is already the strongest force in the North Sea. As for the powerful demons hidden in the depths of the North Sea, they are at least quasi-emperors.
"In my opinion, it would be better to have four in the Central Plains and one in each of the other four regions and four seas. After all, the Central Plains is the center of the primordial world and has Mount Buzhou there. It deserves four in every way."
The patriarch of the Primordial Qilin clan also joined the debate, his appetite even greater than that of the Gluttonous Beast, demanding four supreme dragon veins. This angered the other prominent figures of the Primordial World, who eventually ousted the Qilin patriarch.
"Go away, get out of here. Don't think we don't know what you're up to. Your Qilin clan has lived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain for generations, laying all four dragon veins on Buzhou Mountain. Your Qilin clan has benefited the most."
"How about this: the Sun God Tree can be placed in the Eastern Wilderness, where it is nourished by the four dragon veins, which will also benefit the Sun God Tree."
"The Golden Crow Clan Chief proposed. The Sun God Tree is the residence of the Heavenly Emperor. Let alone four, even if all twelve supreme dragon veins were cast into the Eastern Wilderness, it would be reasonable."
Of course, the Golden Crow Clan Chief also had his own ulterior motives.
The Golden Crow clan moved away from Tang Valley some time ago. With the Heavenly Emperor's permission, they all moved to the Sun God Tree. The cultivation environment provided by the Sun God Tree is much better than that of Tang Valley.
If there were four more supreme dragon veins, wouldn't that be incredibly awesome!
Although the people in charge of the primordial world did not object, their eyes were full of contempt when they looked at the Golden Crow Clan Chief.
You are even more shameless, using His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor as a cover.
Even so, they were unwilling to give up and the discussion became even more intense, each wanting to fight for one more dragon vein for their region.
Seeing that His Highness was arguing endlessly without reaching a conclusion, Meng Chen had no choice but to speak up himself.
"My lords."
When the Heavenly Emperor spoke, all the powerful beings of the primordial world stopped their discussions and bowed to the emperor on the throne.
"Your Majesty!"×N
"After some thought, I believe that since the Five Regions are difficult to divide, I think it would be better to divide the primordial world into the Nine Provinces."
Meng Chen explained his method of allocation: the division of the five regions in the primordial world was proposed by a great emperor of the human race in ancient times, and there were no boundaries or anything like that separating the five regions.
Therefore, even if the regions are redrawn, apart from needing time to accept it, there won't be much trouble.
The primordial land was reshaped!
The Queen Mother of the West and the King of Leize were astonished. Wasn't this change a bit too drastic?
The cultivators from all four seas didn't feel anything, since the land was being divided, not the four seas.
Meng Chen continued, "I will take out another supreme dragon vein, making a total of thirteen, one for each province and one for each sea. I will also use immortal gold to forge nine cauldrons to suppress the fortune of the nine provinces and protect the primordial world."
Upon hearing this, the people of the prehistoric world found it difficult to accept the redivision of the prehistoric land, but His Majesty had already devised a plan for the world, and if they had any objections, they would be being unreasonable.
"Your Majesty is wise; we have no objections!" ×N
Lord Lei Ze and God Fu Xi bowed in agreement. This was for the best, so they wouldn't have to argue over the interests of the dragon vein anymore, thus damaging the harmony of the primordial world.
Meng Chen waved his hand, and a map of the primordial land appeared. Then, with a flick of his finger, he divided the land into nine provinces.
The nine provinces in the previous life were Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou.
Of course, Meng Chen did not intend to name the Nine Provinces of his previous life, but instead asked the people of the prehistoric world to name them.
What appears to be a replanning of the ancient land is actually Meng Chen giving these ministers' forces an opportunity to fight for regional interests.
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it more grass.
"My lords, please name the Nine Provinces."
The Divine Lord Fuxi's gaze first fell upon the territory of his Fuxi clan, pointing to that province and saying:
"Your Majesty, this province is the largest of our Fuxi clan and the Leize Kingdom. How about we name it 'Fuze Divine Province', or 'Fuze World', taking the characters 'Fu' and 'Ze' from it?"
