512 Struggle for power

Taiyi dared to initiate the proposal of re-electing the Jade Emperor, and naturally he was fully prepared, Taiyi: "Huangtian Daoyou has indeed inherited the Emperor Daoyou of Houtu Daoyou, and now there is no problem in sitting in the position of Jade Emperor, but I still want to ask, when will Huang Ting Daoyou abdicate?"

"Abdication?" Huang Tianleng paused, not knowing what Taiyi meant?

Taiyi: "According to the rules of heaven, once the Jade Emperor cultivates the Emperor Dao to the immortal sub-saint, he has to abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

Huang Tiandao: "This seat has just been restored to Da Luo cultivation now, and it is still very early to cultivate to immortality." ”

"Emperor Heavenly Daoist Friend!" Taiyi: "The position of the Jade Emperor is not a person, but the Imperial Dao, the Imperial Dao of the Jade Emperor of Houtu has been cultivated to the sub-holy realm, so he can be reincarnated as the Emperor Heavenly Daoist You, according to the Heavenly Rules, Daoyou should abdicate and give way to Xian." ”

The emperor was speechless, he just asked Taiyi, is the emperor's avenue respected by people or the avenue, Taiyi replied with the avenue, he still thought he had a plan, but Taiyi immediately returned the color.

"Since the Emperor Heavenly Daoist does not object, then we might as well discuss the question of the candidate to succeed the Jade Emperor. Seeing that Huang Tian didn't speak, Kong Xuan took the opportunity to speak: "I propose that Taida, the ancestor of my demon clan, be the successor of the Jade Emperor. ”

As soon as Kong Xuan's voice fell, many quasi-saints of the demon clan spoke one after another.

According to the rules of heaven, the election of the successor Jade Emperor needs to be elected by all races Da Luo Zhun Sheng, but the demon clan is powerful, Da Luo and the quasi-saint account for most of the strong people in the flood wilderness, the last time Houtu can be elected, or calculate properly, take advantage of the opportunity that the demon clan has no suitable candidate to serve as the Jade Emperor, and now the demon clan has the Emperor Dao monk Taiyi, and other races no longer have the opportunity to steal chickens.

Huang Tian looked at the saints of the demon clan, and was annoyed in his heart, he knew that this time the demon clan regained the position of the Jade Emperor, and the witch clan would never have a chance again, and because of the contradiction between the two lich clans when Houtu was in power, the demon clan would return to the heavenly court, and it was inevitable that the battle would be counted after the autumn.

Huang Tianyi gritted his teeth and said, "Then congratulations to Taiyiyou on succeeding to the position of Jade Emperor." ”

"Well said, well said. Taiyi: "The position of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court has been vacant for a long time, and the two Lich clans are full of contradictions, and they will need a lot of support from the Emperor Heavenly Daoist friends in the future." ”

Huang Tian snorted coldly and said, "No need, the demon clan is rich and powerful, and there are many talents, and with the strength of one clan, it is enough to dominate the flood and wilderness." ”

After Huang Tian finished speaking, he walked away, and the ancestors of the Wu clan also followed Huang Tian and left.

After congratulating Taiyi, the envoys of the four clans, such as gods and humans, also left the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

The demon clan regained the position of Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor, all the quasi-saints were overjoyed, and the gods congratulated, only Taiyi looked at the departing witch clan, frowned, and had a bad premonition.

Taiyi did not expect to be wrong, after Taiyi won the position of the Jade Emperor, the Wu clan completely withdrew from the heavenly court system, and almost all the Wu clans who held priesthoods in the heavenly court resigned and returned to the Wu clan's territory, and even those priesthood city god lands in the Wu clan's territory who managed the grassroots level, etc., the Wu clan also resigned.

Taiyi understood that the Wu Clan was adopting a non-cooperative attitude against the Wu Clan. But although Taiyi knew, he didn't have any good way.

"What an emperor, worthy of being the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor. Taiyi sneered: "I just don't know if you are smart but you are mistaken by cleverness, or if you deliberately want to lose both." ”

The authority of the heavenly court lies in the great righteousness, the so-called great righteousness is that the heavenly court can exercise a just rule over all the living beings in the flood wilderness, and the entire Wu clan withdraws from the heavenly court system, which makes the righteousness of the heavenly court lacking, because the heavenly court without the participation of the Wu clan is completely managed by foreign clans, and no matter what it does, it cannot achieve true fairness and justice. Even if Taiyi can handle things fairly, how can he ensure that the people under him can also have a bowl of water? With the contradiction between the two Lich clans, will the demon priests consider the legitimate interests of the Wu clan when dealing with the Wu clan?

The Jade Emperor was able to be promoted to Immortal Yasheng because of the merits of the Heavenly Court, but if the Heavenly Court could not manage the various races fairly, let alone obtain merits, it would be good if he could not be punished by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Taiyi also has another choice, that is, to completely abandon the Wu Clan and ignore the Wu Clan. But in that case, Heavenly Court would no longer be the Heavenly Court that ruled over the desolate world, which was equivalent to Heavenly Court taking the initiative to give up part of its authority. The supreme authority established by the successive emperors of the Heavenly Court was abandoned by Taiyi, and he would definitely lose the favor of Heavenly Dao, and even if Taiyi did well in the future, it would not be worth the crime. This is just like the leader of a modern country taking the initiative to give up a part of its territory and sovereignty, which is absolutely a big loss of popular support, and modern popular support is like a flood of heavenly ways.

Huangtian made such a choice, and the demon clan opposed the rule of Houtu back then, the way of rule, there is not only the way to govern the people, but also the reason for suppression, the combination of yin and yang, the rule. Back then, the three sages of gluttony attacked the heavens, but they rebelled against the heavenly court, and the land of the earth had the name of righteousness, so that the book of heaven could be launched and the three sages of gluttony could be judged with heavenly rules. And the emperor knows the norms of the heavens, although he does not obey the demon clan heavenly court, but he did not launch a rebellion, so the demon clan heavenly court wants to punish the witch clan, but there is no righteous name. If the demon clan wants to deal with the witch clan in the name of heaven, it will lose its merit because it cannot govern the people justly, and it will be punished by heaven.

Huangtian's move has forced Taiyi into a corner, if Taiyi can't make the Wu clan obey the heavenly court, then it will be meaningless for Taiyi to succeed the Jade Emperor.

Although Huangtian's plan is good, but he underestimates Taiyi, what kind of person Taiyi is, he is the only one among the ancestors of the demon clan who controls the Holy Dao, no matter how strong Huangtian is, it is simply an immortal-level innate earth avenue. Although there is only a realm gap between the Supreme Saint Dao and the Immortal Dao, it is a world of difference. What's more, the demon clan is the protagonist of heaven and earth, and it is in an absolute advantage in the wilderness.

The Wu clan completely withdrew from the heavenly court, and even the priesthood such as the city god and land in the territory of the Wu clan was abandoned, making it clear that he would not cooperate with the demon clan.

The Emperor inherited the Emperor Avenue of Houtu, but he didn't know that Taiyi's Emperor Avenue was specially restrained by the Emperor Avenue of Houtu. After Houtu succeeded to the Jade Emperor, Taiyi targeted that Houtu would be the biggest threat to the demon clan, so Taiyi specifically targeted the laws of Houtu's Imperial Avenue, painstakingly studied, found its weaknesses, and created an imperial avenue dedicated to Houtu.

If Houtu's Imperial Avenue is good at governing the enemy with conspiracy, then Taiyi's Imperial Avenue is good at Yang Conspiracy, forcing the opponent to submit with grandeur.

Taiyi carefully selected a group of middle-level demon clans from the demon clan, and after teaching them face-to-face, he sent them to the territory of the Wu clan to serve as city gods, land, mountain gods and other priesthoods at all levels.

Although the Wu clan is dissatisfied, but there is no excuse to oppose it, after all, it is your Wu clan who does not want to serve as a priest, you can't help but let the demon clan send monks from other races to come, if you really don't let it, then it is in line with the will of the demon clan, and you can kill the Wu clan on the grounds of counterinsurgency.

After these demon clans entered the territory of the Wu clan, they strictly rewarded and punished the daily behavior of the Wu clan in strict accordance with the rules and regulations of the Heavenly Court. But all the rewards were in the form of ordination, and the punishments were scourging, rebuke, imprisonment, and death.

From the perspective of the heavenly court, such rewards and punishments are just, but for the Wu clan, it is an absolute reward and punishment injustice, because according to the emperor's order, the Wu clan withdraws from the heavenly court, then the demon clan cannot accept all the priesthoods of the Wu clan, and the Wu clan cannot accept it, and such a reward is equal to nothing.

The demon clan's move made the identity of the Wu clan uncomfortable, and they could only watch the demon clan immortal officials carry out various criminal laws on the Wu clan.

As the Wu clan was punished more and more, the resentment of the Wu clan began to increase, and finally, some of the Wu clan could not bear the humiliation and began to rebel against the immortal officials sent by the demon clan, and some of the demon clan immortal officials were expelled and even killed by the Wu clan.

This is exactly what Taiyi is told, once there is resistance, the Heavenly Court Heavenly Soldiers will enter the territory of the Wu Clan and kill all the Wu Clans who resist. These Heavenly Court Heavenly Soldiers sent to quell the chaos can absolutely act in accordance with the rules of heaven, and only take action against the Wu clan involved, while the other Wu clans, no matter how close their blood relationship is, will not move a single bit, and will never do anything to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. After the rebellion is quelled, the demon clan will also pass on the head of the rebellious witch clan to the nine sides to warn other witch clans, and every hundred years in the future, the head will also be hung out again to show the prestige of the heavenly court.

This is a trap deliberately set by Taiyi, who deliberately left the relatives of the so-called 'rebellious Wu clan' in order to perpetuate the hatred. It is conceivable that if their fathers and ancestors were killed by the demon clan, how could these surviving witch clans have a good impression of the demon clan, especially the demon clan immortal officials from time to time to bring up these old rebellions to emphasize the authority of the heavenly court, not to say that the relatives of these rebellious witch clans can't bear it, even other hot-tempered witch clans will not let the demon clan show off their might.

Therefore, whether it is not to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, whether it is to pass on the head to the nine sides, or to hang the head again after a hundred years, there is only one purpose, to stimulate the anger of the Wu clan and intensify the contradictions.

This is Taiyi's conspiracy, Huangtian led the Wu clan as the leader of the Wu clan to fight against Taiyi with a non-cooperative attitude, and Taiyi provoked the middle and lower classes of the Wu clan to rebel against Heaven to cut off the Wu clan, and Taiyi fought who couldn't bear it first.

Naturally, the emperor can't bear it first, the demon clan is powerful, and it occupies the righteousness of the heavenly court, how can the weak witch clan fight against it.

After the three great witches of the Wu clan were caught by the demon clan Heavenly Court and killed by the heavenly court on the grounds of rebellion, the emperor compromised, and the emperor sent Candle Jiuyin to deliver a message to the demon clan, willing to return to the heavenly court.

This time, it's Taiyi's turn to pinch the emperor.

For Taiyi, this is something that must be done, as an emperor, authority cannot be violated, the emperor refuses to cooperate, Taiyi naturally can't let it go easily.

Huang Tian naturally knows this truth, he is willing to gamble and lose, since Taiyi wants to control him and the Wu Clan, then he has to find an opportunity to break the game.

The emperor sent a letter of challenge to Taiyi, asking to fight Taiyi.

At that time, Taiyi used a trick to force out the heel of the emperor and promised the emperor, and the emperor thought that after his strength was restored, he could come to fight with him at any time.

If the emperor is defeated, the Wu clan will naturally admit defeat and surrender, if it can win, it can also strive for some favorable conditions for the Wu clan.
