Chapter 70: Acting Heavenly Mandate Dao Ancestor mentions

The Great Tribulation of the Gods finally ended with King Wu of Zhou overthrowing the Shang Dynasty and establishing the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Tongtian Saint who was already red-eyed, and wanted to repeat the earth, water, fire, and wind was also subdued by the Heavenly Dao incarnation Hongjun Dao Ancestor and brought back to Zixiao Palace to think about it.

Because of the Great Tribulation of the Gods and the Great Saint War, the desolate land, which had been severely damaged in the Lich War, was no longer overwhelmed, fell apart, and shattered into countless large or small sections. Under the leadership of Hongjun Dao Ancestor, the saints re-aggregated the fragments of the flood wilderness, regulated the spiritual veins of the earth veins, and refined them into the earth immortal realm based on the four largest sections preserved by the earth immortal ancestor Zhen Yuanzi with the earth book. The four major plates are the later Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xihe Niuzhou, South Chanbu Continent and North Julu Continent.

Hongjun Daozu felt that the human race had been repeatedly affected by the flames of immortal warfare, so he used a small piece of desolate fragments as a material, imitating the original desolate geography, and refined it into an earth star, that is, the earth of later generations. Transferred the humans who had no connection with the immortal path in the Flood Desolation Race to the earth star. Since then, the gods have gradually faded out of human society.

After the battle of the gods, in view of the great damage caused by the battle of the saints to the flood famine, all the saints were ordered by the Dao Ancestor to return to the dojo thirty-three days away, and they were not allowed to enter the flood famine without incident, let alone make a move for no reason.

Buddhism, which was renamed from Western religion, became the biggest winner of the Great Tribulation. Countless cultivators were brought to the West by the opportunity of the civil war of the Great Tribulation of the Gods, and the two saints were sent to the West by the opportunity of the civil war of the Great Tribulation of the Gods.

Even the teachings of the victorious side did not end well. Among the twelve golden immortals of the Interpretation, several of them betrayed their religion and defected to Buddhism, not to mention, even the Burning Lamp, who was the deputy head of the Interpretation, also went to the West to become the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp. Taking advantage of the loss of luck in the civil war of the Great Tribulation of the Gods, Buddhism began to flourish.

After the civil strife in Daomen, the strength was greatly weakened, most of the luck was lost, and the great prosperity of Buddhism was unstoppable. With the continuous growth of Buddhism, it began to squeeze the living space of other forces. The strength of the Buddhist Sect above the Heavenly Court has penetrated strongly, snatching away most of the right to speak in the Heavenly Court that originally belonged to the Daomen. The Lord of Heaven, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, had to rely on the power of Buddhism in everything, and looked at the eyes of Buddhism.

The Buddhist forces represented by the King Bodhisattva of Jizo began to enter the underworld in a big way, and the old god Styx, who was suppressed by the Buddhism, could not raise his head, and could only survive in the sea of blood.

In the ocean, although the Four Seas Dragon Clan still belongs to the Heavenly Court, it is also moving closer to the Buddha Gate under pressure, and many times the Dharma Sect Buddha's decree to the Four Seas Dragon Clan is more effective than the Holy Decree of the Heavenly Court. There are also many dragons who are included in the sect by Buddhism as thugs and servants. Buddhism subdued all races, and Sanxiu served as a thug servant to form the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon. One day, the two nagas, the three nakshats, the four gandharvas, the five asuras, the six garudas, the seven kinaras, and the eight maharajas.

Buddhism is also popular in the four continents of the Earth Immortal Realm and the Earth Star, squeezing the living space of the Daomen to the extreme. The people only know how to eat fasting and recite the Buddha but do not know how to worship the three clear and six royals, and when it comes to the westward journey planned by the Buddha, the strength of the Buddha has swelled to the limit. At that time, if the Buddhism sect had not taken care of the Daomen and the three saints of the Sanqing, they would have the strength to eliminate the Miao descendants of the Daomen, so as to dominate the universe.

However, after that, Buddhism gradually began to weaken. The weakening of the Buddhist Sect was not due to the strong rebound of the Dao Gate, but because of the invasion of the extraterritorial demon gods.

As the universe opened up by Pangu, the son of the Great Dao, the Flood Universe is the central universe in the chaos, and it is blessed with all the universes opened up by chaos, and the demon gods of that universe are full of yearning and longing for the central universe. It's just that the cosmic barrier of the central universe of the Flood Desolate Universe is too strong, and they can't break through the cosmic barrier to enter.

However, after experiencing the Dragon Han Tribulation, the Lich Tribulation, and the God Tribulation, the Flood Desolate Universe was shattered, the origin of the universe was damaged, and the cosmic barrier was loosened. Many extraterritorial demon gods who have coveted the Flood Desolation Universe for a long time have taken the opportunity to invade and take root in the Flood Desolation Universe.

After three catastrophes, the human race is the protagonist of the desolate universe and monopolizes most of the luck of the desolate universe. The many invading extraterritorial demon gods made up their minds on the human race. These extraterritorial demon gods have evolved various branches from the human race through intermarriage, soul reincarnation, and other means, forming various barbarian human races. These barbarians are either black-skinned and curly-haired and burly-shaped, or blond-haired and blue-eyed and tall, each with the power of a ghost.

The invading extraterritorial demon gods vigorously supported these barbarian races that they had derived from and had the bloodline of extraterritorial demon gods and believed in them devoutly. After the strength of these barbarian human races grows, these extraterritorial demon gods support the barbarian human race to wage war against the orthodox human race in the flood wilderness and compete for the orthodox luck of the human race. So as to achieve the purpose of stealing the luck of the human race and the luck of the universe.

These extraterritorial demon gods are numerous, and most of them are extremely powerful, and some of the chaos demon gods left over from the Heaven Opening Tribulation are even more powerful. Although Buddhism is dominant, it is only a sect after all, and the combined strength to deal with those extraterritorial demon gods is not enough, although the two saints of the West are powerful, they can't take advantage of some chaos demon gods.

In addition, in order to rejuvenate the West, the two sages of the West made many calculations, and other saints such as Sanqing had a grudge against the two of them and did not help. As a result, Buddhism was gradually suppressed by the extraterritorial demon gods, and the orthodox luck of the human race was taken away by the barbarian human race derived from the extraterritorial demon gods, and the orthodox human race suffered great humiliation and suffering.

It was not until many years later that the orthodox Terrans gradually regained their vitality and sought to regain Terran orthodoxy. However, at this time, the extraterritorial demon god has already used the stolen Terran luck to increase his cultivation strength, which is more difficult to deal with than before, regaining the orthodoxy of the human race and expelling the extraterritorial demon god is destined to be a difficult road full of thorns...... Da Zi Zaitian was shocked, and the various scenes that appeared in his mind suddenly disappeared. He opened his eyes suddenly, his face pale and sweating profusely.

"Do you understand?" Dao Ancestor's ethereal voice sounded in Da Zi Zaitian's mind again.

"Master, these are all true?" asked Dazi Zaitian to Dao Ancestor.

Although it is a doubt, but combined with the situation of the Western Barbarian Race in his previous life's memory, Dazi God knows that these are basically fake, and if they continue to develop on a normal track, hundreds of millions of years later, the Flood Desolate Universe will really become a place where extraterritorial demon gods are wreaking. If this is the case, then the shame and tribulation suffered by the Xia and Miao descendants in modern times in the memory of the previous life have also found the deep-seated reasons.

Dao Ancestor took a deep look at Da Zi Zai Tian and said, "These are the ones I deduced based on the memories of your previous life and exerted the power of the law of fate, are you saying it is true?" ”

"Master, then why don't you make a move? as long as you make a move, those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods from outside the territory will not be able to stir up any storms at all. ”

The biggest secret in the heart was exposed by the Dao Ancestor, and it was not surprising that the Great Freedom was in the sky, after the Hongjun Dao Ancestor fit the Dao with his body, the Hongjun Dao Ancestor is the Dao of Heaven, just like the previous doppelganger was exposed, since he survived under the Dao of Heaven, what could he hide from the Dao of Heaven?

Now the mind of the Great Freedom Heaven has been completely attracted by the deduction of Hongjun Dao Ancestor. Although Da Zi Zai Tian is now the Demon Dao Supreme who is free in the outer universe, but in his previous life, he was a descendant of Huaxia Miao, a descendant of Yan and Huang, and he definitely didn't want what he saw in the deduction to happen.

"Hongjun is the way of heaven, and the way of heaven is not Hongjun. Hongjun Daozu sighed lightly.

Listening to this sentence that Dao Ancestor had said once when he was in the Dao of Merge, Da Zi Zaitian suddenly understood Dao Ancestor's hardship. After Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, he perfected the deficiencies of the Heavenly Dao to a certain extent and merged with the Heavenly Dao. But there is still a primary and secondary distinction to this integration. This merger is not that the Dao Ancestor has controlled the Heavenly Dao, but that the Dao Ancestor has sacrificed himself to fulfill the Heavenly Dao. The will of the Heavenly Dao is the true supreme will, and the will of the Dao Ancestor can only influence the will of the Heavenly Dao, but it cannot influence the will of the Heavenly Dao.

Taking the invasion of extraterritorial demon gods as an example, in the mind of Dao Ancestor, he naturally did not want to see the orthodoxy of the flood wilderness being seized and occupied by a group of bull ghosts and snake gods who invaded from outside the territory, but the Xuanmen Orthodoxy that he passed down was suppressed and in a difficult situation. If it was in accordance with the will of the Dao Ancestor, he would naturally expel or kill these extraterritorial demon gods.

But this is not the case for Heavenly Dao. What the Heavenly Dao pursues is that the operation of the Heavenly Dao is unhindered, as long as it does not affect the operation of the Heavenly Dao, no matter how you make trouble, you will not interfere. The invasion of the Flood Desolate Universe by extraterritorial demon gods is nothing for the Heavenly Dao.

The Flood Desolation Universe is the central universe, and the Flood Desolation Heavenly Dao is the interpretation of the forty-nine Hongmeng purple gas, which is loved by the Great Dao. If the extraterritorial demon god wants to stir up trouble in the Flood Desolation Universe, he must first integrate into the Flood Desolation Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, they will be suppressed and rejected by the Heavenly Dao.

And as long as those extraterritorial demon gods are truly integrated into the Flood Desolate Heavenly Dao system, no matter what thoughts they have in their hearts or what purpose they are, in the eyes of the Flood Desolate Heavenly Dao, they will be no different from those local gods. Whether it is the local gods who occupy a dominant position in the Flood Desolate Universe, or the extraterritorial demon gods who occupy a dominant position, they are all under the Heavenly Dao anyway, and there is no difference to the Heavenly Dao.

Figuratively speaking, the way of heaven is like the law of a country, and Hongjun Daozu is the judge of justice. The local gods are the mainstream people of this country, and the extraterritorial demon gods are foreigners who have joined the nationality of this country.

Hongjun Daozu is a judicial scholar, and he is also a member of the mainstream ethnic group in his country, and between the natives and foreigners who have joined the nationality, the feelings are naturally biased towards their own people. But for the legal system of Tiandao, whether they are natives or foreigners who later became their own nationality, they are legally citizens of this country, and there is no difference.

Although Hongjun Daozu is emotionally biased towards the local gods, because he is a judicial person and must act in accordance with the law, although he is disgusted by those invading extraterritorial demon gods, he can only tolerate them. Unless those extraterritorial demon gods don't know whether they are alive or dead and violate the way of heaven, they give Hongjun Dao Ancestor a reason to make a move.

This is also the reason why Hongjun Dao Ancestor was able to kill the invading extraterritorial demon god according to his own will before merging the Dao, but after merging the Dao, he could only look down on the flood and dispute as a high-ranking spectator, even if the extraterritorial demon god was in trouble, he would not make a move.

This is also related to the ascension of Hongjun Dao Ancestor's cultivation realm. At that time, although Dao Ancestor was the first saint in the Flood Desolate Universe, there was still a certain gap between him and the Heavenly Dao, and he couldn't really see the future fortune of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, Li Weidan, the jealous monarch of the Abyss Universe, died in the hands of Dao Ancestor after escaping from the hands of the Great Freedom Heaven.

Later, Dao Ancestor's cultivation became more and more profound, highly consistent with the Heavenly Dao, and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao was much deeper. understands that it is better to be sparse, even if he forcibly suppresses and exterminates those extraterritorial demon gods, after he joins the way, he will inevitably be plagued by extraterritorial demon gods. Therefore, after the Great Burning Heaven entered the Flood Universe, Dao Ancestor did not make a move. If Dao Ancestor really made a move, a hundred Great Burning Heavens would also be bombarded and killed, how could there be any reason to escape.

"Master, is there a chance to stop these things from happening?" asked Da Zi Zaitian to Dao Ancestor.

Dao Ancestor pointed to the Great Freedom Heaven and said, "Originally, there was no chance, but your appearance has brought variables to the entire flood wilderness. It is precisely because of the existence of your variable that the extraterritorial demon god will invade the Flood Wilderness in advance, which also gives the opportunity to change the orbit of the Flood Wilderness, as for whether it can be avoided in the end, it depends on your own efforts. ”

"Doesn't it mean that the small trend under the Heavenly Dao can be changed, but the big trend cannot be changed? Can the trajectory of this flood really be changed? If it is changed, is it considered to be going against the sky?"

The Great Freedom Heaven and the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal have always been unsure of how to change the operation of the Heavenly Dao in order to go against the sky, so they have a lot of scruples in acting, and now they want him to change the orbit of the Flood Wilderness, and not give the Extraterritorial Demon God a chance to become big in the Flood Wilderness. This makes Da Zi Zai Tian have no bottom in his heart, and only by asking carefully where the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao is, can Da Zi Zai Tian act with confidence. Otherwise, if he acts rashly, in case he breaks through the bottom line of heaven and suffers punishment from heaven, who will he go to cry to?

Daozu smiled and said: "What is the small trend? What is the big trend? The development of the Heavenly Dao is the big trend, and the rest are small trends. As long as it does not hinder the development of the Heavenly Dao and does not cause damage to the Heavenly Dao, everything is a small trend. Just do it. ”

After Daozu finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly at Da Zi Zaitian, and Da Zi Zaitian suddenly felt a gentle but irresistible force descend on his body, his body flew out involuntarily, and countless images flashed in front of his eyes, and when he regained his freedom again, Da Zi Zaitian found that he had left Zixiao Palace and returned to before the cosmic passage to the abyss universe.

Da Zi Zaitian, who had had an experience once, was no longer surprised, and he didn't intend to sigh that Dao Ancestor's means reached the sky, but stood quietly in the void and thought about the deep meaning of Dao Ancestor's summoning of him this time.

There was no doubt that Dao Ancestor did not want to see the Flood Desolation caused by the Demon Gods of the Extraterrestrial. It was only because he was restricted by the Heavenly Dao after fitting his body into the Dao and couldn't deal with those extraterritorial demon gods without authorization, that he found himself. After some guidance, I hope that I can change the future direction of the Flood Wilderness, so that the extraterritorial demon gods will not have the opportunity to become big in the Flood Universe.

Moreover, he gave himself a very lenient limit, as long as he did not hinder the development of the Heavenly Dao and did not cause damage to the Heavenly Dao, he would not be punished by any Heavenly Dao. Hindering the development of the Heavenly Dao or even causing damage to the Heavenly Dao? Although the Great Freedom Heaven was conceited, he didn't feel that he had that ability.

Looking at the cosmic passage in front of him again, Da Zi Zai Tian had already changed his mind, even if Hongjun Dao Ancestor allowed him to destroy it at this time, he himself didn't want to destroy it anymore. After some mention by Daozu, the great freedom suddenly opened up. As Dao Ancestor said, since the invasion of extraterritorial demon gods will happen sooner or later, it is better to happen late than sooner.

One of the most important reasons why the Flood Desolation Universe in the future will allow those extraterritorial demon gods to run rampant is that the local gods of the Flood Desolation cannot work together to resist the enemy.

Among the seven saints of the flood wilderness, Tongtian was besieged by the four saints in the catastrophe of the gods, and the sect of interception founded by one hand was almost wiped out. Disheartened, Tongtian returned to his own dojo for thirty-three days to meditate, and never paid attention to the affairs of the flood again.

Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi, after becoming gods, found that they had also become losers, Taoist infighting, and loss of luck, but let Buddhism take advantage of the situation and dominate the famine. Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi were angry and depressed, and under the edict of Hongjun Daozu, they also returned to their own dojo for thirty-three days to realize the Tao.

Although they don't want to see the invasion of the Extraterritorial Demon God, it is also not a good thing to attract the two of them in their eyes, so they are happy to see the two Western Saints and those Extraterritorial Demon Gods eat dogs, and it is impossible to help the Western Two Saints fight against the Extraterritorial Demon Gods.

In addition to the Daomen Sanqing, only Nuwa, a saint, is left in the desolate universe who can be used as a help to connect the two of them. However, the saint Nuwa, as a saint of the demon clan, failed to keep the luck of the demon clan under the calculation of the saints, so that the demon clan fell from the overlord of the flood to the situation where everyone was bullied and slaughtered, and he was already disheartened. He ignores all kinds of fighting. Naturally, she won't help bring in Zhun Ti, the two people who calculated her back then.

In this way, it has become a situation where the Buddhist faction fights against many extraterritorial demon gods, even if Buddhism flourishes in the world, after all, it is only a sect, and its strength is much worse than the overall strength of those extraterritorial demon gods who invaded the desolate universe.

Although Buddhism has spread almost all over the flood famine, after all, the time for dominating the flood famine is still short, and the accumulation is not deep enough, and there is still a big gap between the number of masters in the sect and the sum of the populations of multiple demon gods in different universes. It's not enough to compete with the combined forces of those extraterrestrial demon god populations from multiple different universes.

Although Buddhism has the two saints of Zhun Ti, many of the extraterritorial demon gods who invaded the flood universe are the chaos demon gods who survived the catastrophe of the opening of the heavens, and there are many people who are equivalent to the strength of Zhun Ti and even exceed the strength of the two saints.

It was precisely because of the internal discord in the Flood Desolation Universe that those extraterritorial demon gods were given the opportunity to wreak havoc on the Flood Desolation. But if the cosmic barrier were released now and those extraterritorial demon gods were allowed in, the situation would be very different.
