The initial development is really not good, after all, no matter what Buddhism says, it is also dyed with a veil of incense and faith, which is still very different from those simple martial arts sects.

And more importantly, in the early years, "Nanling" was really a sparsely populated place, and there were no people, so it was impossible to expand here.

Although human beings have been expanding, expanding, and migrating from "Middle Earth" to all directions since the beginning of the European Emperors, considering the geographical environment, people are most willing to go to the "Northern Plains" with abundant water and grass, rather than the "South Ridge" with poor mountains and bad waters.

Even the "East China Sea" and the "Western Desert" are far more popular than the "South Ridge", so in the first many years, the main migration direction of the human race was almost not considered in the south.

In such a situation, Buddhism is also a clever woman who has no rice to cook, so she can only honestly consolidate her control over the southern border of Middle Earth, and finally it has indeed turned this place into a land of incense, almost all aspects are controlled by Buddhism, not to mention meddlers, even if you want to infiltrate, it is difficult to see results.

This situation continued until the strong rise of the "True God Cult", and if you really want to say it, Buddhism is also based on faith as the main selling point, but in terms of self-made strength, it is really far from being comparable to the "True God Cult".

At least when the "True God Cult" was first born and took root in "Nanling", it was still almost a civilized wilderness, except for the poor mountains and bad waters, there were only a vast number of snakes, insects, rats, ants, poisonous miasma and mutant beasts, as well as the mountain people and natives who were quite difficult to mess with.

However, it was in such a very harsh environment that the "True God Cult" was stunned to build a large territory from scratch, and what was even more terrifying was that it continued to attract a large number of displaced people to migrate to "Nanling".

This is the most terrifying, you must know that in the wasteland, human resources are actually quite important and valuable resources, even if the nobles on the high do not care about the life and death of the low-level ants, but this does not mean that they do not pay attention to population resources.

On the contrary, even the local forces that no longer know how to operate do not dare to let go of the population on their own turf, so those homeless people who dare to flee will be hunted down in various ways.

However, it was against this background that the "True God Cult" was able to break into pieces and quietly pull a large number of displaced people to migrate to "Nanling" in the early years, accumulating a valuable population base.

It wasn't until the strong rise of the "True God Cult" that it was discovered by the princes from all walks of life, and of course it attracted attention in shock, and various strong measures were taken against the loss of population.

However, at that time, "Nanling" already had a certain population base, which was almost enough to reproduce itself, and even if it was blocked, the "True God Cult" was still able to get some displaced people to pass, but it was far less than at the beginning.

The "True God Cult", such a miraculous method of digging into the wall, and its strong rise, are actually not a big deal for other forces, after all, the "South Ridge" is not a good place far away, and it can hardly affect the overall situation of Middle-earth.

But with the exception of Buddhism, the first thing to bear the brunt of such an unexpected thing is, of course, the southern border of Middle-earth, which is close to the "South Ridge".

In fact, more than half of these people who migrated to the "South Ridge" came from the southern border of Middle-earth, or at least passed through it.

To say that this is also related to the background of the time, since the first European Emperor created the European Qi Dynasty, human beings have been constantly multiplying and expanding externally.

At that time, there was chaos everywhere, not to mention other places, it was the base camp of human beings "Middle-earth", and at that time there was also a constant fight, and the remnants of the demon clan, the shadow son of the ghost clan, the Ouroboros, etc., were all making waves.

Even when the first Emperor Ou was still alive, these big and small storms never stopped, and when human beings expanded externally, they also had to face various other difficulties.

So in that case, neither the royal family nor the local forces have absolute control over their own territory, chaos is a norm, and human mobility is the same chaotic thing.

It was in those years that the "True God Cult" quietly absorbed a large number of displaced people, enriching the originally inaccessible "Nanling", laying the most solid foundation for its future rise.

Originally, in the situation of the world back then, the southern border of Middle Earth was a rare paradise, and the environment here was very good, there were no difficult aborigines and particularly dangerous mutant beasts to deal with, coupled with the belief of the Xia family of Nanling Wang, as well as the power of Buddhism's faith, so that it was favored by many homeless people.

As a result, it is precisely because of this inaction, coupled with the negligence of Buddhism, that it was dug into a corner by the "True God Cult".

By the time the Xia family and Buddhism reacted later, it was already a step too late, and the "True God Sect" had almost become a climate, while the southern side of Middle-earth had lost a lot of people, which had caused a lot of vitality.

But this kind of thing, of course, is tolerable or unbearable, no matter how inactive the Xia family is, no matter how much Buddhism is with the light, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to such a crisis.

Not to mention anything else, if the "True God Sect" is allowed to continue to rise and expand, then both the Xia family and Buddhism will suffer a catastrophe.

So from that time on, the southern border of Middle-earth began to retaliate against the "True God Cult", but unfortunately the effect was not ideal.

Of course, no matter how you say it, the Xia family of Nanling King is also a well-known old force since the first European Emperor period, even if it is not as domineering as the Yang family, the king of the backer, but the Xia family's heritage is definitely not to be underestimated.

In addition, Buddhism is not really vegetarian, so their offensive against "Nanling" has achieved some results at the beginning.

For example, up to now, a large area in the north of the "South Ridge" is still under the control of the Buddhist Gate, and forces such as the "Liantai Temple" are located on the southeast front line of this area, but there is still some distance from the front line of the real long-term firefight.

But that's the end of it, and there is even a large part of the reason for this, which is due to the voluntary abandonment of the "True God Cult".

In order to hide from the eyes and ears of the people and not attract the attention of various forces, the "True God Cult" took the initiative to abandon this area close to the southern border of Middle-earth when it first dug the foot of the wall.

Later, the Xia family and Buddhism expanded southward, and this borderless land was naturally quickly included in their pockets, and the "True God Sect" was still on the way to rise at that time, so it adopted the strategy of exchanging space for time, and did not prevent Buddhism from entering this area at all, and even retreated several times, and finally gave up the northern area of "Nanling".
