I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

There are so many land and mountain gods on earth. How many of them can be similar to these plant and wood fairies? And how many of them can have the merits to protect them?

There are also righteous gods on earth, such as the Lord of Mount Tai and the Great Emperor Zhenwu, one after another, slaying demons and monsters, guiding the souls of the living...

None of their actions gained any merit.

Why can a few plant and wood monsters be favored by heaven?
Coupled with the fact that the Mozhu Fairy was deceived by the so-called Lingshan Guangming Buddha, they felt more and more that there was some kind of conspiracy involved.

"Protector, this..." Xingxian, who was most aware of the situation, suddenly spoke up: "What does what happened to us mean? Is there someone who is plotting merit?"

"No no no."

"The other party is probably not planning to do good deeds, but is using the planning to do good deeds to achieve another thing."

Xingxian frowned.

"What needs to be accomplished through merit? In this world..."

Having said this, Xingxian was suddenly stunned.

He stared at Jiang Wang, almost fearful to the extreme: "Master Protector, is the disaster we are facing related to the great catastrophe?"

Xingxian has not been around for long, but his network of contacts is quite extensive because he has the protection of good deeds.

He heard a lot about the previous two disasters.

In addition to clan disputes, the deeper conflicts in the first two catastrophes actually involved "merit and virtue."

The deepest contradiction in the prehistoric world is more of a struggle over merit and virtue than a struggle over the Tao.

Because only those who have cultivated to the level of Daluo Jinxian can get involved in the dispute of Tao.

The dispute over merit is different, as it involves almost every individual.

From the ancient times to the time when the saints became saints, the issue of merit was involved almost every moment.

In the era of primitive division, merit is no longer as easy to obtain as it was in the ancient times.

At this stage, merit is something that can bring more security than gold.

In this day and age, except for a very small number of great sages of the human race who can gain merit by opening up a new path among the many paths, it is rare to see the extremely astonishing merits that fell from the sky during the ancient times.

No.

Not to mention the merits that are everywhere, even the merits of the few plant and wood fairies in front of Jiang Wang are extremely rare.

Of their merits and virtues, they don’t know how much is the result of others’ calculations, and how much is their own ability.

In fact, if they really had the ability to obtain such a large amount of merit, they would have been recruited by the Heavenly Court long ago. Not to mention the mountain gods and land gods in the mortal world, what would be wrong with giving them a position in heaven?
The Heavenly Court is quite tolerant. It doesn't mean that you cannot go to Heaven just because you are a demon.

Weren't the predecessors of Qianliyan and Shunfenger a demon? They still served in the heaven and were the confidants of the Great Celestial Lord.

Today's Heaven does have a little bit of prejudice against the demon race. After all, before the fall of the Demon Race Heaven, many immortals and gods had been bullied by the Demon Race Heaven.

Can the immortals and gods who have finally made it to the top treat the demon clan well?

But that is for the monsters without merits. Towards the monsters with merits, most of the immortals and gods will have a different attitude.

You should know that if you spend a long time with virtuous beings, you will have great blessings and even disasters will stay away from you.

Therefore, for ordinary immortals or mortals, merit is what they need to strive for more.

Alas, merits and virtues are hard to come by nowadays.

Jiang Wang looked at Xingxian with surprise. Although Xingxian's background was not as outstanding as Mozhu Demon Fairy, he was unexpectedly smart.

His guess is somewhat similar to Jiang Wang's.

Jiang Wang also believed that the person behind the scenes who allowed these plant monsters to gain merits had the goal of causing the great catastrophe in the west.

The purpose of the person behind the scenes is most likely to transfer the merits gained by the plant demon.

The only thing that Jiang Wang couldn't understand was that with the strength of those two, there should be no need to beat around the bush like this.

In Jiang Wang's opinion, even if those two have disappeared now, their identities are there, so even if they want to do something, there is no need to beat around the bush.

If merit is needed, wouldn't it be faster to let their disciples obtain it than for the plant monsters who have no background and no connections to obtain it?
It will be much more convenient when you need it.

Why this?

"Your guess is close to the truth."

Jiang Wang looked at Xingxian differently. Originally, he wanted to make a deal with the Mozhu Fairy with the help of the Mozhu Fairy. But now it seems that among these plant monsters, Xingxian, who slid to his knees the fastest, is actually the smartest one.

It's always nice to talk to smart people.

"The catastrophe is approaching. The merits on you are not amulets, but life-claimants." Jiang Wang said bluntly, "You may not understand that the one plotting against you is not an ordinary person."

"Is it Lingshan?" Xingxian asked.

But soon, he denied himself and said, "No, Lingshan is not that stupid. If it was Lingshan, why would they go to Nanzhanbuzhou to find us? Isn't there no human race in Xiniuhezhou? Lord Protector, is it the powerful being related to Lingshan? Could you please tell us something? We will serve you well."

How could Xingxian not understand now that this demon guardian in front of her not only holds the Chaos Bell, but may also have a more powerful background and even know the secrets of the catastrophe.

If we don't take the opportunity to serve him now, then when should we wait?
When the great catastrophe is about to come, will their merits be taken away?

At this time, Xingxian had actually believed what Jiang Wang said.

Seeing Xingxian like this, the other several plant and wood fairy demons hesitated for a long time and then, like Xingxian, swore to work for Jiang Wang, on the condition that Jiang Wang could protect them.

If you can't protect it, then the words of loyalty will naturally end.

"Okay, since you all say so, then I will speak frankly." Jiang Wang used the Chaos Bell to re-establish new restrictions.

The restrictions set by the Chaos Bell cannot be easily seen through even by a saint.

Unless a saint intends to break the restriction, normally, a saint will never eavesdrop on you within the restriction.

After restraining his subordinates, Jiang Wang told Xingxian and other plant monsters his guess.

He was not worried that these plant demons would tell others what they heard from him. They would not do that because they did not dare to.

The Mozhu Fairy is not very smart, so he might reveal a few things, but he will never tell everything.

Unless the Chaos Clock is fake.

It is not a problem to say that the Chaos Bell that suppresses the luck of the demon race is related to the luck of the demon race.

If the Mozhu Demon Fairy really revealed Jiang Wang's words, it would be destroying the fortune of the demon clan. How could the Chaos Bell remain indifferent?

The Chaos Bell will immediately mobilize the luck of the demon clan and directly suppress the Mozhu Demon Fairy!

Therefore, Jiang Wang was not worried that these demons and immortals would turn against him, as they would die faster if they did.

"Do you know the two saints in the West?"

After the Conferred Gods Tribulation, the two saints of the Western Religion disappeared. The living beings after the Conferred Gods Tribulation were no longer so concerned about the two saints of the Western Religion. Many new living beings had never even heard of the names of these two saints in their entire lives.

Several plant and wood fairies looked at each other.

They did have some understanding of the two saints, but that was just a certain understanding.

They were born not long after the Conferred God Tribulation, but by that time, the two saints had already disappeared, and these plant and wood monsters knew very little about the two saints. They only heard through rumors that the two saints, the Three Pure Ones, and Nuwa were the top powers in ancient times, and had long transcended the Three Realms and were no longer within the Five Elements.

"We have heard of it, but there is no trace of these two saints in the prehistoric world now. It is said that their Western religion has also been usurped by the current Lingshan." Xingxian said this and did not say anything else.

It is no secret that Lingshan usurped Western religion.

Most of the immortals and gods know that there is a big problem here.

But even if I knew, I couldn't change anything.

It is an established fact that Lingshan usurped Western religion.

This fact cannot be changed at this moment when the saint has retired from the world.

"Could it be that the people that the Dharma Protector is talking about plotting against us are the two reclusive saints of the Western Religion?" Xingxian reacted and looked very shocked: "But Dharma Protector, we have no intersection with those two saints, why would they plot against ordinary little demons like us?"

Chapter 790: Hold on to the Saint’s Thighs
Who says you can’t make plans if there is no intersection?
Is there any connection between Sun Wukong and Lingshan?

From the moment he was born, the Buddhas of Lingshan had been plotting against him to death. From beginning to end, had Sun Wukong ever escaped from the plots of the Buddhas of Lingshan?

Never.

Not only did Sun Wukong never escape from the schemes, but in the end he himself became part of the schemes against others.

It’s just that he is calculating passively, while the Buddhas are active.

In the middle and late stages of the Journey to the West, the monkey, who had already realized that he was very likely to not be able to escape from Lingshan, was completely ready to join Lingshan.

So later on, the closer they got to Lingshan, the stranger Sun Wukong behaved.

Including taking in disciples, rescuing those children and so on, every step was to leave a way out for himself to prevent being completely tied up by Lingshan!

Jiang Wang calmly told several plant and tree monsters the facts of his plan.

Calculation does not necessarily mean that the powerful one intends to harm you.

Sometimes, the powerful may just want to get something from you.

The Almighty will not harm you, but the same may not be true for people or things related to the Almighty.

“Just because there is no intersection now doesn’t mean there will be no intersection in the future.”

"For those powerful people who are high up in the sky, they have calculated every step in the future. To them, the current intersection is irrelevant."

"What they want is an intersection at some point in the future, and when that intersection happens, they will bet as long as it is in their favor."

"The bets made by the powerful are more like alternative plans than bets."

"Those two reclusive saints bet on you. They will naturally collect their interest at some point in the future. The price is... you will fall into reincarnation."

After the saints place their bets, they naturally do not need to pay attention to the person they bet on because he has lost his value.

Since there is no need to pay attention to it anymore, naturally someone has to clean up the mess.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie are the backup forces to clean up the mess. These two are destined to enter Lingshan to become the reserve forces of Buddha. Lingshan owes the two hidden saints a huge karma, so it is reasonable for them to help the saints clean up the mess.

As for why they wanted to clear out the harmless plant monsters, it was probably because Lingshan didn't want people to find out that the once virtuous monsters were inexplicably dragged into the great calamity of the journey to the west.

The Journey to the West was a great calamity on the surface, but Lingshan was behind it to a certain extent.

It was already incredible that the virtuous demon fairy was involved in the catastrophe. What's more, it was even more fatal that the merits of the virtuous demon fairy were inexplicably taken away.

If we dig deeper, it is very likely to subvert the existing system customized by Tiandao.

No one knows what kind of chaos will happen at that time. Jiang Wang even suspected that Lingshan had done too many similar things during the Journey to the West, which led to Wu Tian taking advantage of the chaos to occupy Lingshan and cause chaos in the three realms after the Journey to the West.

However, he didn't dare to jump to conclusion on such matters.

If Lingshan caught any trace of him, causing Wutan to fail to arrive as expected, it would be a serious sin.

Jiang Wang was quite fond of Lingshan's suffering.

Several plant and wood fairies were moved by Jiang Wang's words, but at the same time, a feeling of powerlessness lingered in their hearts.

The meritorious demon immortals actually have a very high status in Jambudvīpa.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu also invited them instead of sending his two generals, the Turtle and the Snake, to capture them directly, which shows how high their status is.

But what if it’s higher?

In the eyes of beings at the saint level, these golden immortals of merit are just targets that can be calculated.

"Protector, how can we... save ourselves? The saint is plotting against us, and we cannot escape. We just want to live. If this merit attracts the saint, then the saint can take it. Why does he send people to take our lives?" Xingxian prostrated himself on the ground again.

The other demons and fairies also realized at this time that Jiang Wang was not joking.

It is possible that the two reclusive saints were plotting against them, otherwise there would not have been so many coincidences.

Now they have to know how to save themselves!
Most of the plant monsters are evil gods. They have cultivated to this level, so how could they want to be killed inexplicably?

In this world of prehistoric times, which creature has the most difficult practice?

Most creatures would think they are humans.

Although humans have a natural Taoist body, their lifespan is too short.

The cultivation trajectory of the human race is roughly as follows.

Enlightenment.

Spiritual practice.

Practice to a certain level.

Life span is almost over.

Practitioners at this level cannot extend their lifespan.

The practitioner died of old age.

This is the current situation of most human practitioners.

Because life span is too short, even if one practices very quickly, there is no way to reach the state that can prolong one's life span, and in the end one can only die with hatred in one's heart.

However, because there are so many humans, and humans are born as Tao bodies, they make up for the quality in quantity.

Among the countless human race, there will definitely be practitioners with extraordinary talents. This kind of practitioners elevates the human race as a whole and makes it more powerful.

In fact, there is another type of creature that is even more miserable than human practitioners.

The human race just lacks a long lifespan, but this can be compensated by talent.

This kind of creatures have nothing but wasting time.

This kind of creature is none other than the plant and tree monsters among the monsters.

According to the demon clan, calling plant and tree demons demons is an exaggeration for them.

In fact, in the classification of the demon clan, plants and trees are born with intelligence, so they should be considered spirits, commonly known as the spirits of plants and trees.

In the ears of humans, the word "spirits" sounds better than "monsters", but actually in the status division of the monster clan, spirits are far inferior to monsters.

Monsters have monster kings, but it is rare to hear that spirits have spirit kings.

Because only when a spirit reaches a certain level of cultivation can it be classified as a demon.

Why do spirits have a low status in the demon race? In fact, it is because the cultivation speed of plant spirits is too slow.

Similarly, for a demon that has just been born with intelligence, it will take no more than a hundred years for it to practice and condense a demon pill.

The spirit needs three to five hundred years, or even longer.

Not to mention practicing to a higher level, the speed of practice of the spirits of plants and trees becomes slower and slower as they advance, because they have no qualifications at all.

Not to mention ordinary plant spirits, even the famous spiritual roots in the world that have awakened their spiritual intelligence are the same. These things don't have a fast cultivation speed. They can only practice step by step, and it takes time to improve their realm.

So under normal circumstances, no plant or tree demon would get involved in things that it shouldn't be involved in after reaching a certain level of cultivation.

Since several plant and wood spirits asked for help, it was impossible for Jiang Wang not to help.

The merits they possess come from protecting the human race. Jiang Wang is the guardian of the human race. Even if they do not ask Jiang Wang for help, Jiang Wang will not turn a blind eye.

"You don't have to do this. You just protect the human race. Even if you don't ask me for help, I will still help you." Jiang Wang raised his hand slightly and helped all the demon fairies up.

"Please protect the famous sayings of the Dharma."

"Do what you did before, do it now." Jiang Wang's eyes were calm and he chuckled, "Those two saints won't harm you, but Lingshan is no longer in the hands of the saints. Hold on to the saints, Lingshan won't dare to do anything. Do you understand what I mean?"

It is true that the two saints plotted against the plant and wood demons, but it is impossible for the two saints to kill these plant and wood demons.

Jiang Wang knew the temperament of the saints.

The saints are no longer the ones who used to fight each other over a disagreement in the ancient times.

The current saints are strictly ordered by the Taoist Ancestor not to interfere in the affairs of the prehistoric world.

Among them, Taoist Tongtian was taken back to Zixiao Palace by the Taoist Ancestor himself and put into solitary confinement.

Although the Taoist Tongtian at this time had been released back to Jin'ao Island by the Taoist Ancestor, judging from the current situation, the Taoist Tongtian still does not have the power to interfere in the affairs of the prehistoric world.

Maybe it was because the Taoist didn't give it to him, or maybe it was because Tongtian Taoist had lost his mind and was unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the prehistoric world.

After all, all his disciples and even the Taoist tradition he founded were wiped out.

In this situation, it is normal to feel discouraged.

As for other saints, including Jiang Wang’s ancestor Taiqing Saint, they actually don’t care about anything in the prehistoric world.

The present saints are not focused on the ancient times at all. What they seek are things of a higher level. The things in the ancient times are no longer on the same level as the saints.

Therefore, although the two reclusive saints were plotting against the plant and wood fairies, they definitely did not intend to take their lives.

The ultimate goal of the two saints should be to repay the merits they borrowed from the prehistoric times. These merits fell on the bodies of plants, monsters and fairies. It was just a small means for the saints to transfer the merits.

If the saint could repay this merit, he would not kill the donkey after it has served its purpose, and after repaying the merit, he would also kill the plants, trees, demons and fairies.

The only one who wants to make the plants, monsters and fairies disappear in the ancient world is Lingshan.

The saints have no scruples.

Lingshan has to take a lot of things into consideration.

So Jiang Wang's advice to the plant demons is to be yourself! Do what you did before, and don't be stupid enough to change your "demon settings" in order to save yourself, and try to resist the calculations of the saints.

"Protector, we can proceed as usual, but...if Lingshan is determined to plot against us, what should we do?" Xingxian was still a little worried.

Lingshan is very powerful. No matter what these little fairies say, they can never be compared with Lingshan.

The saints will not harm them, but they will not protect them either.

If Lingshan is determined to eradicate these little monsters, they will surely die.

Jiang Wang knew what these demon fairies were worried about, and he fully understood their concerns.

But there is no need to worry too much now.

Because he is here!
If he arranged things in advance, and these plants, trees, demons and fairies still had the same ending as before, then what was the point of his arrangement in advance? Then wouldn't all his magic treasures be useless?

Moreover, Jiang Wang was very clear that his current layout was not so much his own layout as it was a bet placed on him by the saints behind him!

What the saints are planning is not the little merits in front of them.

To be precise, at present, the two saints of the Western Church who owe merits to the Heavenly Dao have not fulfilled the great wishes they made to the Heavenly Dao!

As a result, only these two saints are always working hard to repay the merits of Heaven.

Jiang Wang knew very well that the two saints of the Western Religion would never be angry with him for his plot against Lingshan, because the two saints of the Western Religion would rather Lingshan collapse and become a ruin.

Only these two saints have to repay their merits. The main reason is not because the two saints of Western religion are the weakest, nor because they did not take their aspirations seriously after they made them.

The two saints of the Western religion were plotted against by their master, Saint Taiqing.

In fact, as long as they still control Western religion and Lingshan, then even if their ambitions are carried out slowly, it can be regarded as repaying their merits.

The Way of Heaven will never rush the two saints to repay their merits just because they do not take their ambitions to heart.

It was only because they failed to control Western religion and the progress of their so-called grand ambition came to a complete standstill that the Heavenly Dao had to recover their merits in the form of a great catastrophe.

As for where the merit comes from, heaven does not care.

This is a matter between two saints.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Wang made such a plan.

As long as the saint doesn't die, Lingshan won't dare to do anything to him.

As for the plant and wood fairies following behind him, Jiang Wang believed that as long as their brains were a little more normal, they would benefit greatly from this catastrophe.

"You don't need to worry too much." Jiang Wang gave the Grass and Wood Fairy a sense of peace of mind.

He pointed to the Chaos Clock.

"You are the demon race. The demon race may not trust me, a human, but you will not distrust this senior in my hand, right?"

Jiang Wang did not regard the Chaos Bell as a simple spiritual treasure.

In fact, whether it is the Chaos Bell or other spiritual treasures, their seniority is far superior to Jiang Wang himself, not to mention that their previous owners are now top-notch powerful people in the prehistoric world. It is actually disrespectful to the treasures to easily regard these treasures as one's own property.

Jiang Wang has always been committed to turning these spiritual treasures into his own treasures, rather than simply giving them to him as gifts from the powerful.

Chaos Bell was very pleased with Jiang Wang's address, and a bit of precious light appeared on his originally plain body.

Several plant and wood fairies looked at each other.

Some of the dull ones didn't know what it meant, but Xingxian was really smart. (End of this chapter)
