"If you use copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; if you use ancient times as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; if you use people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses."
When it comes to stories related to mirrors, the first thing Jiang Yuan thinks of is this introspective statement by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
The next thing that comes to mind is the plaque hanging on the ancient yamen, which reads "Ming Mirror Hanging High." After that, there is the evil mirror platform in the underworld, which is said to be able to illuminate bad consequences in life.
"The most basic function of a mirror is to serve as a reference for people to understand themselves. Based on this, the mirror has been extended to have more meanings, such as seeing clearly, penetrating the world, etc."
As the understanding of the function of mirrors became deeper and deeper, the actions of Merit related to it gradually emerged in Jiang Yuan's mind.
Justice!
If you want to give Heavenly Emperor Mirror Merit, you need to start from the aspect of justice. And if you want to be fair, you must have insight into people's hearts.
Therefore, the greatest function of Heavenly Emperor Mirror should not be to monitor the world and observe the past and future, but to gain insight into the ever-changing human heart.
Distinguish between good and evil! Distinguish between loyalty and evil!
With a clear mirror, one can know good from evil and distinguish loyalty from evil. Any evil will be clearly seen under Heavenly Emperor Mirror, so that justice can be done to Primordial World.
There is no absolute justice in the world, but there is relative justice. And if you want to achieve relative justice, you must be aware of everything and be fair and honest.
Such people are rare, but Heavenly Emperor Mirror hangs high in the sky, like the sun and the moon, reflecting the heaven and earth, and can penetrate all the secrets between heaven and earth, so he can see everything clearly.
At the same time, Heavenly Emperor Mirror can see into people's hearts, distinguish between good and evil, and distinguish between loyal and evil, so it can force people to be fair and honest.
Now that we have a clear understanding of everything, we also have fairness and integrity. In this way, we can naturally achieve relative fairness easily.
Heavenly Dao is impartial and impartial, which can be said to be the foundation of Heavenly Dao. Therefore, in Primordial World, upholding justice for all sentient beings and allowing them to receive fair treatment is the biggest Merit move.
"Heavenly Emperor Mirror, should be Eye of the Heavenly Dao, patrolling Primordial World on behalf of Heavenly Dao, punishing evil and promoting good, in order to demonstrate Heavenly Dao's upright principles."
Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that if he wanted Heavenly Emperor Mirror to become Merit Supreme Treasure, he needed to refine it as the "eye" of Heavenly Dao.
This mirror is the incarnation of Heavenly Dao, representing the impartial side of Heavenly Dao. It is the embodiment of Heavenly Regulations, possessing the power of punishment and supreme majesty!
"Heavenly Dao's treasure, a weapon of punishment!"
After coming back to his senses, Jiang Yuan finally confirmed the positioning of Heavenly Emperor Mirror. What he thought before was still too simple. The final positioning of Heavenly Emperor Mirror should not be as simple as insight into the world and people's hearts.
Instead, he went a step further on this basis and became the eyes of Heavenly Dao, transforming into the supreme treasure in charge of the punishment of Primordial World.
If you want to be relatively fair, you must first have a set of standards, and who should set this set of standards? Of course it is Heavenly Dao.
But Heavenly Dao has no intention and will not take the initiative to change, but can only evolve passively. Therefore, if you want him to derive a set of standards, someone needs to step forward to promote him.
Jiang Yuan is not talented, but is willing to step forward, promote the evolution of Heavenly Dao, and formulate corresponding standards. And if you want to do this, you need to master the power of Primordial World's punishment.
What is the power of punishment? To put it bluntly, it is the power to punish all living beings. Its external manifestation is calamity, including but not limited to killing calamity, thunder and fire calamity, heavenly calamity, Heavenly Punishment, etc.
Primordial World All living beings are afraid of disaster. As long as you master the disaster, you will have the ability to punish them, which will naturally make them afraid.
In this case, as long as it does not exceed their bottom line, what standard can they set?
So how to control the power of punishment? Jiang Yuan's method is through Heavenly Emperor Mirror, whose character of upholding justice is most consistent with Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, when it evolves to the end, it can carry the power of Heavenly Dao, turn it into a treasure of punishment, and control all the disasters of Primordial World.
After that, Jiang Yuan, as its owner, can use this authority to set rules for Primordial World.
Setting rules for Primordial World is a simple sentence, but it contains supreme authority, which means that those who can do this have already mastered the legislative power of Primordial World.
Isn't this power powerful enough? Legislative power is the core authority of Heavenly Emperor. Holding this power is equivalent to almost one-third of Heavenly Emperor.
Legislative power, executive power, and judicial power are the three major powers of Heavenly Emperor. Among them, legislative power comes from Heavenly Dao, judicial power comes from one's own cultivation, and administrative power comes from the support of all living beings.
Legislative power alone is not enough; someone must implement and abide by it. The support of all living beings gives Heavenly Emperor enough people to implement the rules he has formulated.
And Heavenly Emperor's powerful cultivation ensures that no one in the world dares to disobey the rules he has set.
The three powers combined into one are the complete Heavenly Emperor authority. Among them, the legislative power is the most important, because it represents orthodoxy and was personally given by Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Dao represents the will of Primordial World. If it is not recognized by Him, then no matter how strong it is, it is not Heavenly Emperor.
Therefore, among the three powers, the legislative power is the most important. Those who do not hold this power but call themselves Heavenly Emperor will surely suffer the wrath of Heavenly Dao, and Primordial World will be punished by everyone.
"The power of punishment, to put it bluntly, is the prehistoric judicial power recognized by heaven. Only after mastering this power can we obtain legislative power, rather than having legislative power first and then judicial power."
From the future evolution of Heavenly Emperor Mirror, Jiang Yuan sees a path to become Heavenly Emperor.
It is true that Primordial World now has Heavenly Emperor, who is Di Jun, the master of the Demon Clan. But the problem is that there is something wrong with his Heavenly Emperor and his authority is incomplete.
Primordial World He only controls half of the world, which is Heaven Realm. The rest of the earth is not under his control, but under the control of the Wu Clan.
Insufficient authority means that the position of Di Jun and Heavenly Emperor is not secure. As long as someone is better than him, he can take his place.
Wu Clan's lord Di Jiang thinks so, so he sends troops to attack Heavenly Court from time to time.
Now, Jiang Yuan thinks the same way. Although his strength is low, he can't stop him from daring to think and do.
Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!
Di Jun can sit in this Heavenly Emperor position, but Di Yuan cannot do it?
As a descendant of the same generation, Jiang Yuan doesn't feel that he is any worse than Di Jun. Didn't Di Jun take advantage of being born early? Otherwise, no matter how good his life was, would he still be able to fight against the bad guy?
If two people were born in the same era, it is uncertain whose position Heavenly Emperor belongs to.
"Di Jun can become Heavenly Emperor, firstly, because he is powerful, and secondly, because he is destined to be the master of Great Sun, so he is born with the emperor's destiny."
"Damn, he was born with a good and precious life. But that's not important. After he became emperor, he went against the grain and blocked Myriad Stars Radiance for his own selfish purposes, which cut off Ten Thousand Races's great chance of life."
"No matter how strong his Qi is, no matter how rich Great Sun's blessings are, due to this cause and effect, it will not last long under the backlash of Ten Thousand Races Destiny."
"He is destined to die, and it's time for me to rise up."
Thinking of Di Jun's future fate, Jiang Yuan felt that if he wanted to become the new Heavenly Emperor after him, he should make preparations now.
