Chapter 384: Luo Fu Receives the Mandate, Rules the Universe! Golden Decree, Enfeoffing Gods of Heaven and Earth!
The stubbornness of the Fairy Disenchantment actually stems from multiple factors.
Firstly, the romantic ghosts recorded in the Twelve Beauties of Jinling were the result of Fairy Disenchantment's schemes over countless years.
Because of Luo Fu's sudden appearance, Fairy Disenchantment completely abandoned all her plans, which obviously required great determination and wisdom.

As a deity in charge of romance and karmic debts, Fairy Disenchantment herself is inevitably influenced by human emotions and desires.
Of course, besides that, a more crucial point lies in the incense and faith system itself.
Incense is poisonous, and this is by no means an empty statement.
While receiving incense and faith, one is inevitably severely affected by it. Even the initial personalities of some gods and deities will gradually change in the direction of the faith as they receive incense and faith over time.
What is the greatest characteristic of human love affairs? Obsession.
Unattainable desires and ego are the root of love.
Fairy Disenchantment obviously understood this point long ago, and in order to solve her own problems, she created this Grand Dream of the Red Chamber, a play of human joys and sorrows.
But unfortunately, after Luo Fu's power protected Lin Daiyu, the reincarnation of the Crimson Pearl Fairy, Fairy Disenchantment was almost unable to restrain herself from being influenced by incense and faith.
As Fairy Disenchantment wavered, two distinct factions gradually emerged in the Heavenly Court.
One faction insisted that the Great Qing's destiny had not yet ended, and that Luo Fu, the so-called Great Emperor of Luo Heaven, was merely a minor ailment.
At most, he would only slightly shake the Great Qing's national fortune and foundation, and would eventually be annihilated by the orthodox Great Qing Dynasty.
The other faction insisted that Luo Fu would be the founder of a new era.
In addition to the two most obvious factions, there were naturally also two-faced fence-sitters. Of course, the two-faced ones were mostly those gods who received relatively little incense, faith, and fortune from the dynasty.
As the tension between the two sides escalated, the disputes that were previously limited to the mortal realm soon began to affect the entire Three Realms.
Jinling Imperial Palace.
Having enjoyed Xue Baochai's plump beauty, which could only be described as succulent, Luo Fu, embracing this golden hairpin famous alongside Lin Daiyu, suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.
His divine soul seemed to be attracted by something, and he was almost pulled into a strange space of spiritual consciousness.
The sudden change immediately darkened Luo Fu's expression.
A serious look flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, in the Heavenly Court.
"What's going on? This... this Luo Fu, where did he come from? Could it be that he really has cultivation comparable to my Heavenly Emperor? We can't influence his divine soul at all?"
In the Heavenly Court, many gods who intended to bet on Luo Fu were discussing animatedly.
Just as everyone was shocked by Luo Fu's terrifying cultivation and strength.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the gods of the Heavenly Court.
"How dare you be so bold as to try to hook my mind."
A thunderous roar.
Even more terrifying was that this uninvited figure was not a simple divine soul state, but a flesh and blood body.
As the roar sounded, the terrifyingly vigorous blood energy, like the baleful aura of a tragic military formation, erupted in an instant.
Some weaker gods, under this terrifyingly vigorous blood energy, were like snowflakes illuminated by the scorching sun. They sublimated in an instant without even melting.
Those powerful gods, although they withstood Luo Fu's questioning, instantly fell into an unprecedented state of weakness.
It must be admitted that this world's so-called transcendent system of incense and faith is really too weak.
Although it can interfere with the real world, in most cases, the methods and abilities of the Heavenly Court gods are closer to the realm of pure mental illusions, interfering with reality through the influence of the mind.
Luo Fu is different. After sharing, after such a long time, the power from the heavens, after being localized, gradually showed incredible power.
For example, now, Luo Fu seems to have broken the boundary between reality and illusion, descending into the special space where the Heavenly Court gods are located with a body of flesh and blood, which is a clear proof.
Just a questioning roar caused heavy casualties among the previously self-righteous Heavenly Court gods, and the survivors seemed to have suffered heavy damage.
At this moment, the Heavenly Court gods no longer regarded Luo Fu as a simple human emperor.
A god wearing a dragon robe exchanged glances with his colleagues, and then bowed to Luo Fu. He said, "Ziwei Star Lord, greetings to the Great Emperor of Luo Heaven."
Ziwei Star Lord, to be precise, should be the Great Emperor Ziwei. However, in front of Luo Fu, how dare this Ziwei Star Lord call himself a great emperor?
Following the Ziwei Star Lord, the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper, the Northern Dipper, the Three Great Emperors, the Five Stars Lords, and so on, bowed to Luo Fu and called him Great Emperor.
His gaze swept over these Heavenly Court gods, and Luo Fu nodded indifferently. After the affairs of the mortal world were settled and the great cause of dynastic change was completed, neither the Heavenly Court nor the Underworld would be spared by Luo Fu.
And these guys in front of him, one by one, have been corroded by incense and faith, and have long forgotten their original selves.
In Luo Fu's eyes, they have almost become puppets of incense and faith.
Putting aside everything else, based on this point alone, Luo Fu will definitely clean up all these people in the future and replace them with his own people.
"Be at ease!" Luo Fu nodded slightly and said, "I will be the ruler of the mortal world and also the master of the Three Realms. The Heavenly Court should respect me from now on. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the Ziwei Star Lord, who was the first to call Luo Fu the Great Emperor, frowned subconsciously and said, "If the Great Emperor wishes to be the master of the Three Realms, he must grasp the hub of the Three Realms: the ruler of the mortal world, the master of the Heavenly Court, and the king of the Underworld. The Great Emperor should act according to his own will as the ruler of the mortal world. We dare not interfere, but the hub of the Heavenly Court is the Investiture of the Gods, and the Underworld is the Book of Life and Death. If the Great Emperor does not obtain these two, then he cannot be the master of the Three Realms."
"The Investiture of the Gods? The Book of Life and Death?" Luo Fu smiled indifferently and said, "Then what about the mortal world?"
The Dragon Qi Jade Seal in the mortal world, to some extent, can actually be regarded as the true core of the Three Realms.
But the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Life and Death are always fixed, while only the Dragon Qi Jade Seal of the mortal world is constantly transferred.
Once a change of dynasty occurs in the mortal world, then under the chaos, it is equivalent to the absence of an orthodox dynasty's Dragon Qi Jade Seal to suppress it, and naturally, the phenomenon of rampant demons and monsters will inevitably occur.
But once the new dynasty's Dragon Qi Jade Seal is determined, its power is even enough to make the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Life and Death retreat.
Even the Dragon Qi Jade Seal of the orthodox dynasty has the power to interfere with the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Life and Death.
The emperor of the mortal dynasty, with his golden decree, can even enfeoff gods of Heaven and Earth, which is precisely why.
The Dragon Qi Jade Seal, to some extent, is simply like the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth in this world.
But similarly, the Dragon Qi Jade Seal cannot be abused.
Whether it is enfeoffing gods or interfering with the Heavenly and Earthly Realms, it is a consumption of the Dragon Qi Jade Seal.
In the end, when the national fortune declines, the essence of the Dragon Qi Jade Seal will naturally be transferred, disappearing from the jade seal of the previous dynasty, no longer appearing in the chaos, until a new orthodox dynasty appears, and the Dragon Qi Jade Seal will re-solidify on the new dynasty's jade seal.
In his communication with Ziwei Star Lord and others, Luo Fu quickly learned that long ago, the Dragon Qi Jade Seal was not like it is now, constantly transferring like the laws of heaven and earth.
But was fixed.
That's right.
It is the famous Imperial Jade Seal.
It's a pity that with the division of the authority of heaven and earth, the appearance of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld has caused the Imperial Jade Seal to lose the effect of the Dragon Qi Jade Seal.
What caused all of this were the alchemists of that year.
The saying on the Imperial Jade Seal, "Having received the Mandate from Heaven, may (the dynasty) enjoy longevity and eternal prosperity," is not receiving the Mandate from the Heavenly Court, but truly receiving the Mandate from the Way of Heaven.
The Heavenly Court and the Underworld did not exist from the beginning.
Even the appearance of the Underworld is inseparable from Zhang Tianshi.
According to human legends, the gate of the Underworld is in Fengdu. The earliest rumors of a ghost city were precisely the legends of Zhang Tianshi's crusade against many ghost kings and their imprisonment, and that was the true beginning of the Underworld.
The appearance of the Heavenly Court actually came later than the Underworld, but its source was much earlier.
But whether it is the Heavenly Court or the Underworld, in essence, they are all authorities divided from the human dynasty.
To be precise, the Book of Life and Death and the Investiture of the Gods were once part of the Imperial Jade Seal.
This Imperial Jade Seal did not exist only after the First Emperor created it, but was a symbol. The Imperial Jade Seal completely materialized the symbol and completed the ritual of "Having received the Mandate from Heaven, may (the dynasty) enjoy longevity and eternal prosperity."
But after dividing out the authority of the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Life and Death, this symbolic materialization could no longer be permanently locked on a jade seal.
Luo Fu is not actually concerned about the origin of the so-called Heavenly Court and Underworld.
From the beginning, Luo Fu didn't think much of the confidence of this world in purely utilizing incense and faith.
After all, his shared abilities have truly reached the point where they can create the world, while the way of incense and faith in this world is still only turning in the spiritual realm. Although on some levels, it has completed the process of turning falsehood into reality, in most cases, it is still a virtual symbol.
So how could Luo Fu possibly think highly of it?
In his communication with the various star lords, after understanding that the core of his control over the Three Realms was the Dragon Qi Jade Seal of the mortal world.
Luo Fu didn't even bother to stage a havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but directly disappeared from this strange space in a flash.
As Luo Fu left, the various star lords immediately felt a sense of relief.
The Fire Virtue Star Lord looked weak, but said with lingering fear, "Who... what is the origin of this person? I thought that his so-called Great Emperor of Luo Heaven was just a means of bewitching people, but now it seems that just by relying on his angry roar, our entire Heavenly Court may be in danger of disintegration."
"Great Emperor of Luo Heaven..." Ziwei Star Lord looked complicated.
He had a clear premonition, or rather, a prediction.
After Luo Fu, the Great Emperor of Luo Heaven, completes the unification of the mortal world and the change of dynasty, no one in the Three Realms will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Luo Fu.
In the Three Realms, there will only be one Great Emperor, and that is the Great Emperor of Luo Heaven.
Whether they are heavenly gods or earthly deities, all must submit beneath the feet of this Luo Tian Great Emperor.
If Luo Fu hadn't appeared, the Ziwei Star Lord could have styled himself as the Ziwei Great Emperor. But now, in Luo Fu's presence, he can only call himself the Ziwei Star Lord. And in the future, the Ziwei Great Emperor will forever only be the Ziwei Star Lord.
In the mortal realm, within the Jinling Imperial Palace.
With a flash of his figure, he returned to his residence.
Although Luo Fu seemed to have spent a considerable amount of time conversing with the heavenly deities in that strange space,
when he returned to the Jinling Imperial Palace in the mortal realm,
Xue Baochai felt as if he had only just left.
This feeling was real, because Luo Fu had indeed only been gone for a brief moment.
Without error, from beginning to end, everything is contained within! See it all!
The weary Xue Baochai, seeing that Luo Fu had put on his clothes so quickly, was blushing and preparing to continue serving him.
But Luo Fu waved his hand and said, "You should rest first. After all, it's your first time. You can serve me again once you're used to it."
After giving this instruction, Luo Fu left Xue Baochai's palace directly.
Watching Luo Fu's departing figure, Xue Baochai sighed softly in her heart.
She didn't know what she was now.
Initially, Xue Baochai had thought of using Jia Yucun's power to smoothly enter the palace and secure a place in Luo Fu's harem in advance. Once Luo Fu had established his rule over the world, her early entry would be enough to make her a titled concubine in the new dynasty's harem.
But now, she knew that the real reason Luo Fu had started his rebellion was because he had been forced by the servants of the Four Great Families.
Now, not to mention becoming a titled concubine in the new dynasty, it was uncertain whether she could even occupy a small place in Luo Fu's heart.
"Miss..." Ying'er, Xue Baochai's maid, who had been sent to the palace with her, said with a worried expression, "What are we going to do now? His Highness was actually... actually was..."
Waving her hand to stop Ying'er, Xue Baochai sighed, "I will find an opportunity to have you leave the palace and return home to deliver a letter for me and bring Xiang Ling to the palace."
In a proper imperial palace, once the rules and regulations are perfected, it is extremely difficult to leave the harem, and even completely impossible under normal circumstances.
But Luo Fu has not yet formally proclaimed himself king or emperor, so the management of the harem has not yet established clear rules.
This is also why Jia Yucun, this almost cruel official, was able to arrange for Xue Baochai to be sent to Luo Fu's harem.
Looking at the Daqing court, when Xue Baochai was in the capital waiting to be selected, even the Four Great Families could not easily send Xue Baochai into the palace. Even Yuan Chun, the Jia family's嫡daughter, had to go through the Zhen family's connections.
Hearing that her young lady actually wanted to bring Xiang Ling into the palace as well,
Ying'er hesitated for a moment and said, "What about the young master?"
Xue Baochai said with a somewhat helpless expression, "Don't worry, you only need to send the letter back, and brother will not object."
Changing the subject, Xue Baochai forced herself to cheer up and said, "Bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
While Xue Baochai was forcing herself to overcome her fatigue and starting to write a letter home as soon as possible,
Luo Fu, on the other hand, took out the jade material containing the previous dynasty's dragon energy.
As Luo Fu formally started his rebellion,
the dragon energy originally hidden in the jade material has now gradually completed its transformation from the energy of the common people to the energy of a latent dragon.
And as Luo Fu occupied Jinling and even set the plan for proclaiming himself king and establishing a dynasty, this dragon energy from the previous dynasty was only one step away from truly transforming from the energy of a latent dragon into the true dragon energy of a dynasty.
When the change of dynasty is truly completed, then the dynasty dragon energy on Luo Fu's body will also transform into the true dragon energy of the Son of Heaven.
However, Luo Fu's conquest of the world does not rely on people's good or evil intentions, but on truly overwhelming people with force.
He does not need dragon energy to protect his body.
Compared to the effect of dragon energy protecting his body, Luo Fu wanted to try even more to see if he could recreate the supreme treasure that truly combined the three realms of heaven, earth, and man: the Imperial Jade Seal.
Of course, the Imperial Jade Seal that Luo Fu created from this piece of top-quality jade material is essentially different from the one of the First Emperor.
First, purely in terms of material, although Luo Fu's jade material is also top-quality, how can it be compared with the Heshi Bi, which was already priceless back then?
However, if the power of the three realms is gathered together, then even if the jade material itself is not comparable to the Heshi Bi, under the long-term scouring of the origin power of the three realms, this current jade material, the future Imperial Jade Seal, will also become a truly supreme treasure.
What Luo Fu has to do now is to personally create this jade material into an imperial jade seal that will unify the world and issue orders in the future.
In this world with extraordinary power, even after the change of dynasty in the mortal realm, making a new jade seal still requires all kinds of extraordinary people to gradually improve the jade seal.
Any dynasty's jade seal is not just a simple seal.
Even after the change of dynasty, the dragon energy is transferred, and the jade seal is no longer the dragon energy jade seal that could once interfere with the authority of the Investiture of the Gods, it is still a rare treasure in itself. After all, it is a treasure created by pouring the power and luck of a country into it.
Years of national luck scouring are enough to transform a simple jade seal into a treasure that makes people's hearts flutter.
And Luo Fu's personal creation will make the jade seal created from this jade material become a truly leading treasure among the three realms.
Playing with the jade material in his hand, Luo Fu turned his gaze to the north.
His vision seemed to penetrate infinite time and space, seeing the Daqing Imperial City, where the Daqing Jade Seal was strictly guarded and revered as a treasure.
Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Luo Fu could still see that as Jiangnan was gradually being controlled and pacified by Luo Fu, the dragon energy on the Daqing Jade Seal was gradually beginning to dissipate.
And on Luo Fu's side, because he had not created a jade seal, the dragon energy emanating from the Daqing Jade Seal had nowhere to go, and could only linger around Luo Fu.
Luo Fu's proclamation as king and establishment of a dynasty was imminent, and it was time to create a jade seal.
If he hadn't just happened to meet the gods of the Heavenly Court by chance, perhaps Luo Fu would have simply let others busy themselves with creating the jade seal.
But now, he had to do it himself.
A mysterious and profound power, under Luo Fu's manipulation, instantly wrapped the jade material.
The creation of this new dynasty's jade seal was not done by carving, but the entire jade material, as if it had become a soft and easily shaped material, was gradually changing from the original blank under Luo Fu's power.
During the change of the jade material, all kinds of rune-like imprints were forcibly engraved inside the jade seal.
In just a few breaths, the jade seal was completely formed.
This was a square seal, with a five-clawed true dragon coiled as the knob, and faint reliefs of mountains and rivers on all four sides. Although the reliefs were clear, when touched, one could only feel a smooth surface.
And at the bottom of the jade seal were eight large characters in dragon script: "Luo Tian Receives Mandate, Rules the Universe."
The feudal era emphasized receiving the mandate from heaven, but Luo Fu received the mandate from himself, and he himself could live forever, so naturally, he aimed to rule the universe and the three realms.
At the moment when the jade seal was completely formed,
the entire sky above Jinling City seemed to emit an excited and vibrant dragon roar.
Even in the eyes of some people who mastered profound metaphysical arts, they could clearly see a dragon energy, only one step away from transforming into a true dragon of heaven and earth, instantly being born out of nothing, circling around the entire Jinling Imperial Palace a few times before plunging into the location where Luo Fu was.
About four hundred miles away from Jinling, in the city of Suzhou.
At the moment when Luo Fu's jade seal was created by his own hands,
inside a nunnery,
an old nun wearing a patchwork robe suddenly revealed a terrified expression, followed by a loud "wah" as she spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Her eyes were full of disbelief as she looked at her disciple who was practicing with hair.
"Master." Miao Yu, watching her master calculating her future, suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. The maiden in her prime was immediately flustered, no longer as aloof and composed as before.
Looking at Miao Yu with a complex expression, the old nun said, "I am fine, but... your fate has actually... actually undergone earth-shattering changes. I don't know whether it is good or bad."
Looking at her master in confusion, Miao Yu said, "Master, what exactly did you calculate?"
"From now on... you will be incredibly noble." The old nun slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said, "Foolish child, from today onwards, you should return to secular life. There is no need to mention our relationship as master and disciple anymore."
"Why... why?" Miao Yu was shocked, and her heart became even more uneasy.
"The Lord of the Luo Tian Army has become the trend of the flying dragon in the ninth heaven, and the change of the world is just around the corner." The old nun said, "And you... with such a sudden change in the general trend of the world, the way of heaven has also undergone an immeasurable change. You will definitely be favored by the Lord of Luo Tian in the future and enter the palace to serve. From then on, many calamities will no longer be able to affect you in the slightest. Turning misfortune into good fortune and turning adversity into auspiciousness will be nothing more than commonplace for you. This poor nun is incompetent to be the master of a noble person!"
Miao Yu was completely stunned.
Clearly before, her master had been constantly admonishing her to be pure-hearted and have few desires, and to be ready to welcome her own bumpy fate at any time, but why would there be such a big change after calculating her future this time?
Moreover, although she was practicing with hair, she was also a disciple in the nunnery. Although this nunnery was located in Suzhou, it was quiet and secluded, and rarely visited by people.
How could she be favored by the Lord of Luo Tian?
"You don't need to think too much." The old nun shook her head and said, "I know the doubts in your heart, but the Lord of Luo Tian is unfathomable. The change of the mortal world and the general trend of the way of heaven are also changing according to his will. You will usher in a turning point in the near future. During these few days, you should temporarily stay in the nunnery and wait for your own fate! However, I must warn you that the Lord of Luo Tian has too much influence on the world, and you should persuade him more."
