The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 693: The Ultimate Link to Heaven, No Name on the List of Gods

A strategist? A chess master?
In the ancient war, the opponent who played chess with the gods?
Zhang Jiuyang was a little shocked and confused at the same time. Why had he never heard of this so-called sage of strategy?

Because of the Saint of Painting, he specially looked up the history of various schools of thought in ancient times, among which many brilliant and talented people emerged.

But I have never heard of this person.

"Why did that war happen?"

Zhang Jiuyang couldn't help but ask out loud. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of war would involve all the living beings in the three realms and even destroy the sun.

"If you want to understand why the war happened, you must first understand one thing - fate."

The abbot of Taiping Temple stretched out his hand, seemingly carefully observing the lines on his palm.

"Just as everyone's palm lines are different, everyone's aura is also different."

"Some people are sick, some are rich, some are lonely and widowed, and some have children and grandchildren around them..."

"When the qi of countless people gather together, it becomes the destiny of the entire race."

"When the luck is at its peak, the tribe will prosper; when the luck is weak, it will decline and give rise to all kinds of natural and man-made disasters."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded when he heard this. Zhuge Qixing mentioned in his last words that the reason why there was no long-lasting prosperity in the world was because the demon transformed by Guiguzi was devouring the destiny of humanity.

"Those who eat air are divine and long-lived."

"The gods feed on luck. Otherwise, they would have to reincarnate and rebuild every three thousand years. This is extremely risky. But if they swallow the luck, their position as gods will be stable, and they will sit on the lotus pedestal forever."

"So, the human world is a chicken coop, and the hundreds of millions of humans are their food."

Zhang Jiuyang was shocked and once again thought of the "chicken farmer" that Emperor Taizu had mentioned.

The gods do not eat humans directly, but rather feed on the good fortune of humanity, but this brings even worse consequences.

The luck was destroyed, natural disasters occurred frequently, man-made disasters continued, and all lives were destroyed.

Compared with cannibalism, it is nothing more than a way of life that looks more civilized.

"Generation after generation of human heroes fought through difficulties, tasted hundreds of herbs, created characters, controlled floods, and slew demons, allowing the human race to continue to grow and develop. However, as luck fades, it will fall into war and conflict again."

"Until that person shows up."

At this point, there seemed to be a gleam of light in the weathered eyes of the Taiping Temple master, revealing a deep reverence.

"My master is a genius who knows everything about the universe. He understood the Eight Trigrams by observing the celestial phenomena and drew the Yin and Yang by observing the four seasons."

“I’ve never met anyone as smart as him.”

Zhang Jiuyang's brows moved slightly. Being able to comprehend the Yin and Yang of the Eight Trigrams in ancient times, this sage of strategy is a bit like the Emperor Fuxi.

"Master is determined to change all of this and establish... a truly prosperous world that will never fade."

"A hundred years later, when the master came out of seclusion, the luck of Daxia had already been swallowed up. Natural disasters continued everywhere, demons and monsters were everywhere, and the emperor had the will but no power."

"Master saved the country from collapse and became the Grand Master of the dynasty. After that, he implemented various policies to strengthen the country and enrich the people while secretly planning... the ultimate connection between heaven and earth!"

Jedi Tiantong!
Hearing these four words, Zhang Jiuyang's heart suddenly moved.

It seems that something similar has happened in China.

In the Book of Documents, it is recorded that Emperor Yao ordered Xi and He to be officials in charge of heaven, earth and the four seasons, so that people and gods would not disturb each other and each would get its due order, which was called "Juedi Tiantong".

In "Guoyu", it was Emperor Zhuanxu who launched the "Juedi Tiantong".

Simply put, it means to sever the connection between heaven and earth so that gods and humans no longer have any intersection.

This is a good method. Once successful, the gods in the sky will no longer be able to feed on the good fortune of humanity.

This is a path that none of the three heroes of Qianyuan had thought of. No escape, no fight, and no surrender.

When the 'chicken farmer's' hands can no longer reach here, the chicken coop will naturally become a truly free world.

The world is man’s homeland!
"Master was almost successful, but the gods also found out, so they also made a mistake."

As he was speaking, Emperor Taizu finally made a move, and the master of Taiping Temple placed another piece without even thinking.

Emperor Taizu frowned again.

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, and blurted out: "Guigu!"

The Taiping Monastery Master nodded and said, "Yes, the one they dropped was Guigu."

Guigu was originally a mortal cultivator who was in seclusion in Taixuan Mountain. However, the Nine Immortal Cauldrons descended from the sky, giving him great fortune. He then stood out from the crowd of outstanding people and founded the path to immortality.

"Gui Gu is also a genius, but unfortunately he was bewitched by the gods and thought he was the man of destiny and had to take on the responsibility of changing the dynasty."

"He searched everywhere for a new leader of the world, and finally chose Zhou Taizu. He assisted the Great Zhou in launching an attack on Xia, in order to destroy the foundation that Master had worked so hard to build, and at the same time, to undermine the grand plan of the Jedi Tiantong."

"However, the Great Xia assisted by Master is already strong enough. Guigu was defeated from the beginning. Even Zhou Taizu died once, but was resurrected by the gods."

"Until the gods themselves come down."

When talking about this history, there was an obvious wave of emotion in the eyes of the abbot of Taiping Temple, and it took a long time for him to calm down.

"In the beginning, there were only some weak gods, but later, even the powerful gods on the throne joined the battle."

"Master formed an alliance with the Dragon Clan and persuaded some gods who were unwilling to consume the luck and only relied on reincarnation to help, such as the Buddha and the Ming King."

"Because these gods have all experienced reincarnation as humans, they have complicated feelings towards humans and are dissatisfied with those gods who gain something for nothing."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded. Even the gods were not united, and there were different voices within them.

Win over all the people who can be won over, distinguish who are the real enemies and who are friends, and borrow combat power from within the enemy. The strategist is indeed powerful.

"The war continues to escalate, with humans, demons, immortals, Buddhas, and devils entering the battlefield one after another. Even the underworld, which had been wavering, chose to stand on the side of the Great Zhou."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved, and he remembered what the Saint King Zhuanlun had said, that the underworld had once helped Guigu with all its strength, and nine of the ten saint kings had died in that battle, and even Zhuanlun himself was seriously injured.

That all makes sense.

"In the end, this earth-shattering war had completely gotten out of control. The Sun God fell, and the world fell into eternal night. The Human Emperor ascended to heaven and burned himself, turning into a blazing sun, a sun that belonged to the human race."

"But unfortunately... we lost."

The head of Taiping Temple clenched his fists. He was usually calm and composed, but at this moment, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

In that war, tens of millions of our tribesmen shed their blood and sacrificed their lives, and countless heroes emerged. Some even had their heads chopped off, but they still waved their swords and fought bravely.

Even the Human Emperor fought to the very last moment, ascending to heaven and burning himself to death rather than surrender.

But if you lose, you lose.

"but……"

The master of Taiping Temple showed a trace of sarcasm on his face, and said lightly: "After Guigu assisted Zhou Taizu in establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty, he thought he could be deified and live forever, but he didn't expect..."

"There is no place for him in the God Realm."

His name is not on the List of Gods.
