People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Heavenly Court, Temple of the God of Fate.

Yang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of axe light in them, so sharp that even the space in front of him could hardly withstand it, and a black spatial rift appeared.

"I never expected to have such an unexpected gain. This Seven Emotions Demon God is truly my lucky star."

The strange phenomenon in Yang Xuan's eyes disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face, filled with emotion.

If the Seven Emotions Demon hadn't voluntarily surrendered, none of these subsequent events would have occurred.

Yang Xuan thought for a moment and decided to meet his lucky star. If the Seven Emotions Demon God truly wanted to surrender, then he would target the Chaos Demon God...

To be precise, it's time to begin the plan targeting the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Yang Xuan's style of doing things is to plan before acting; he will not take action unless he is absolutely certain of success.

But once he makes a decision, his style of doing things can be described as swift and decisive.

Having decided to meet the Seven Emotions Demon God, he immediately sent a telepathic message to the avatar of the Seven Emotions Demon God left in the main hall.

Upon hearing Yang Xuan's telepathic message, the Seven Emotions Demon God breathed a sigh of relief.

For Hunyuan, two or three Yuanhui is considered quite short; a simple seclusion can take several Yuanhui.

However, the few eons that the Seven Emotions God and Demon spent in the Temple of Fate felt extremely long.

She did indeed intend to join the Primordial World. Compared to destroying the Primordial World, the more prosperous the Primordial World became, the more beneficial it would be for her cultivation.

Whether they are primordial beings or chaotic gods and demons, in the end, aren't they all just pursuing cultivation?

What is beneficial to cultivation is what is beneficial to oneself. If the prehistoric world continues to evolve, it will benefit the cultivation of the Seven Emotions Gods and Demons. Naturally, she hopes that the prehistoric world can win.

The problem is that she is a chaotic god and demon, the culprit who caused Pangu to die from exhaustion and never return, and is in a natural hostile relationship with the prehistoric world.

Although she felt that Yang Xuan had a certain tolerance for chaotic gods and demons, and Yang Xuan himself said so,

But her actions were, after all, a gamble, and she couldn't be sure if her guesses were accurate.

According to her original plan, her last visit was just a test, to show her sincerity, and even if she guessed wrong, she could get away unscathed.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan's mastery of the Dao of Destiny had reached such a level that he found a destiny line connecting her to her true form without much effort.

With this thread of fate in place, there was nowhere for her to hide in the vast wilderness, effectively cutting off her escape route.

In this way, she was left with only two choices: either escape to the chaos and hide far away, never to get close to the primordial world again.

Either her pledge of allegiance was strong enough to convince Yang Xuan to cooperate with her.

Hearing Yang Xuan's voice transmission, she finally felt relieved.

Yang Xuan didn't go directly to her original body, which at least proves that there's still room for further discussion.

Whether or not cooperation can be achieved depends on this round of negotiations.

The Seven Emotions God and Demon stood up and entered the inner hall of the Temple of Fate, where he saw Yang Xuan sitting cross-legged on the cloud platform.

"Fellow Daoist, did you gain anything from this trip?"

The Seven Emotions God and Demon bowed to Yang Xuan, and seeing the smile on his face, he felt more relaxed.

"Thanks to your intelligence, Fellow Daoist, the God of Destiny has been dealt with, and he won't be able to enter the Primordial World for the time being," Yang Xuan said with a slight smile, speaking casually.

What? We can't enter the primordial world? Doesn't that mean...?

The Seven Emotions Demon God looked astonished; the information she had given Yang Xuan was indeed correct.

However, the God of Destiny is proficient in the Great Dao of Destiny and is most skilled at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. Even in chaos, he can still sense danger and retreat in advance. At the very least, he can take countermeasures.

According to Yang Xuan, it's possible that the gods and demons of fate have been severely damaged in his hands.

But how is this possible?

The more saints Yang Xuan summons, the stronger the crisis becomes, and the more the gods and demons of fate can sense the danger, making it more likely that they will escape in advance.

If Yang Xuan went alone, the crisis would be much smaller. The God of Destiny would likely only sense the malice and would not be likely to escape in advance.

The problem is, how could Yang Xuan, alone, possibly severely injure the God of Destiny?

"Could it be that he was exaggerating, and in fact, he only confirmed what I said, without actually finding the God of Destiny?"
Was he saying this simply to increase his own influence and gain a more advantageous position in the upcoming negotiations?

After much thought, the Seven Emotions Goddess and Demon felt that this was the most likely possibility, since she didn't believe that the Fate Goddess and Demon would suffer such a severe blow.

Yang Xuan could roughly guess the reason for the Seven Emotions Demon's surprise, but he had no intention of explaining, and continued:
"I find you to be a sincere and trustworthy partner. I know that the Chaos Gods and Demons have been plotting to destroy the Primordial World. Do you know any details?"

Upon hearing this, the Seven Emotions Demon God abandoned his thoughts on the Fate Demon God and immediately nodded, saying:
"What you say is correct, fellow Daoist. As early as the Investiture of the Gods, the Chaos Gods and Demons, led by Demon Ancestor Rahu and Space God Yangmei, were plotting to destroy the Primordial World."
Unfortunately, the primordial sages were better prepared. To avoid revealing themselves, they ultimately failed. But this time, they are unlikely to stop halfway.

Raise your eyebrows?

Yang Xuan raised an eyebrow, his heart filled with astonishment.

He had naturally heard of the Space God and Demon.

Among the three thousand gods and demons of that time, Yang Mei was one of the strongest, possessing unparalleled mastery of the Great Dao of Space.
Yang Xuan's "Universe in the Sleeve" supernatural power was like child's play in front of him.

Upon hearing that Yang Mei and Luo Hou were the leaders, Yang Xuan was briefly stunned before realizing what was happening.

"No wonder in the original timeline, the primordial world would have progressed to the Dharma-ending Age."

If this spatial deity were truly allowed to act freely, the earth's veins would be severely damaged during the primordial evolution of the Three Realms, leaving behind enormous hidden dangers.

Yang Xuan nodded secretly, his brows relaxing and his expression returning to calm. He then looked at the Seven Emotions Demon God and said in a calm tone:
"Since it's a collaboration, I know the rules. I'd like to know some of Luo Hou and Yang Mei's plans. Tell me your terms."

"I do know some details, and as for my conditions, I'm sure you know them too."

The Seven Emotions Demon raised his head, looked at Yang Xuan, and said in a deep voice:
"Cultivating the Tao is about achieving a state of carefree ease and freedom, and my condition is freedom."
"As long as you can guarantee that I will enjoy the treatment due to a Primordial Chaos cultivator in the prehistoric world, I will tell you everything I know without reservation!"

“No problem. If this is the only condition, I agree!” Yang Xuan nodded, giving a definite answer.

But his quick and decisive agreement aroused the suspicion of the Seven Emotions God and Demon.

"Such a momentous matter, won't you consult with other sages?" "You are my ally, what others think is none of my concern. I will guarantee your rights, and if you are not at ease, I can swear on my Dao heart!"

Yang Xuan's tone was calm, but full of confidence.

Since it concerns her future freedom, even if the Seven Emotions Demon has a big heart, she can't just believe Yang Xuan's one-sided words. This is her most important bargaining chip.

In the end, Yang Xuan swore an oath with his Dao heart, and the Seven Emotions Goddess was finally relieved. However, she still couldn't understand why Yang Xuan was so confident.

It should be noted that Yang Xuan's cultivation level was not particularly high among the prehistoric saints.
It's hard to say whether even the two Western Saints can defeat him, after all, he has only recently become a Saint and has only just consolidated his foundation.

In terms of reputation, Yang Xuan is not very high either. The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Houtu are all more famous than him, with only the two Western Saints perhaps slightly inferior.

But Yang Xuan had already sworn an oath with his Dao heart, which concerned his future path, so the Seven Emotions God and Demon had nothing to worry about. He immediately explained Luo Hou and Yang Mei's next plan.

"You mean, Rahu wants to start with Buddhism, letting the chaotic gods and demons possess the Buddhas?"
Then, under the guise of spreading Buddhist teachings, they traveled throughout the primordial world, seizing vital ley lines, and ultimately forming a grand formation that tore the primordial world apart?

"That's exactly right." The Seven Emotions Demon God nodded. "Back during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, they had already left behind contingency plans in many of the primordial earth veins."

However, the primordial sages were too well-prepared. Nuwa constantly watched over the primordial world, Houtu activated the Book of Earth to protect the earth's veins, and finally, fellow Daoists bestowed titles upon the mountain gods and land deities.
They simply couldn't find an opportunity, and lacked the absolute certainty to move the plan forward, so they had no choice but to give up.

But after so many years of preparation, and with the conditions for the prophecy of the decline of Tao and the rise of Demons now in effect, they certainly won't give up this time. If they succeed, it will be a catastrophic disaster!

After listening to the Seven Emotions God and Demon's words, Yang Xuan nodded slightly.

According to my past life memories, after the Journey to the West ends, Buddhism will face a demonic calamity, and all the gods in Heaven and the Buddhas of Buddhism will be replaced by evil spirits.

Therefore, these so-called evil spirits are actually chaotic gods and demons.

There is one thing that is similar to what Yang Xuan thought: the one who triggered this demonic calamity, Wutian, is none other than the Demon Ancestor Rahu. Only in this way could he have done it so silently.

Only the Dao of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, combined with the unique nature of the Chaos Gods and Demons, could easily seize the bodies of the gods and bodhisattvas, thus triggering this demonic calamity.

Just as the Seven Emotions God and Demon said, if the Demon Ancestor were to accomplish this, it would be an absolute catastrophe for the prehistoric world.

Especially at this critical juncture when the primordial world is about to evolve into countless realms, if the main ley lines of the three primordial realms are damaged at this time,
Leaving aside the fact that the primordial world evolved into countless realms, it's hard to say whether the Three Realms could even maintain their original form. They might even recreate the Dharma-ending Age from the original timeline.

Even if all the sages of the primordial world knew that the chaotic gods and demons had ulterior motives.

But the primordial world is so vast that even if the gods and demons of destiny failed to enter it, there are still hidden gods and demons concealing the secrets of heaven. It is obviously unlikely that the sages of the primordial world could discover their schemes.

Even though Yang Xuan had memories of his past life, he could only guess that the person who triggered the demonic calamity might be Luo Hou. He didn't know what the other party's purpose was or what his specific plan was.

Now that we know about this from the Seven Emotions God and Demon, we can take targeted precautions.

"Since you want to use Buddhism as a starting point, then let's make the battlefield Mount Sumeru!"

Yang Xuan's eyes flashed with cold light. Now that his cultivation had greatly increased and he had obtained two supreme treasures, the Destiny Plate and the Chaos Bell, and learned the Creation Technique, he was just looking for someone to practice with.

But the key lies in how exactly to do it, how to continue hiding in the shadows, and how to catch the chaotic gods and demons off guard.

Yang Xuan stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Before long, he had a comprehensive plan.

Strictly speaking, this plan was implemented many years ago, precisely because of the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism.

However, the original purpose of this plan was not to counter the Chaos Gods and Demons, but to confuse the public, attract their attention, and prevent the fact that the primordial world was about to evolve into countless worlds from being exposed too early.

Now, the initial goal should have been achieved, at least judging from the behavior of the Seven Emotions God and Demon, they were clearly unaware of what was happening in the myriad realms.

Compared to devising a new plan on the spot, sticking to the old plan is obviously more discreet and less likely to be detected by the Chaos Gods and Demons.

Ultimately, the key to this matter lies in just one point: how to expose the chaotic gods and demons hiding in the shadows.

To achieve this, it's actually quite simple. No matter how profound the supernatural powers of the hidden gods and demons are, or how ingenious Rahu's hiding methods are, they will all be exposed once a sage personally arrives.

Given that Rahu's target is Buddhism, and the conditions for the decline of Tao and the rise of demons have been met, Rahu's hiding place is self-evident.

If we can descend upon Mount Sumeru before Rahu can react, we might be able to find him, turn the tables, and resolve this potential threat ahead of time.

Without the variable of Chaos Gods and Demons, given the current preparations of the Primordial World, there shouldn't be any major problems in evolving the myriad worlds.

Once the Primordial World has successfully evolved and survived this calamity, even if the Chaos Gods and Demons want to make a comeback and launch a full-scale offensive, the Primordial World will be able to handle the situation more easily.

Once you understand all this, the plan becomes simple: just continue to exacerbate the conflict between Taoism and Buddhism.

If this were during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, even a simple journey would take tens of thousands of years to escalate the conflict between the two sides.

Now that we have the Three Realms Network, things are simple.

Creating public opinion and adding fuel to the fire—is that something anyone can do?
Moreover, there's no need to create public opinion now. Even a child knows that the conflict between Taoism and Buddhism is intensifying.

In earlier years, both sides had Grand Luo Golden Immortals involved. Although none of them had fallen, quite a few were injured.

Based on this, as long as we continue to add fuel to the fire, and if necessary, have a few more Great Luo Golden Immortals sacrificed to the heavens, we can easily achieve the result that Yang Xuan wants.

Now, the fate of the world is in Yang Xuan's hands. If he wants to revive a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it's just a matter of a word. Even if the Sage finds out afterward, he won't make things difficult for him.

Once the decision was made, Yang Xuan, who was always decisive, immediately took charge and led his confidants, including Shen Gongbao and Bixiao, to add fuel to the fire and exacerbate the conflict between the two sides.

Ten thousand years later, the Buddhist monk Julusun was defeated by Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect in a battle of magic and died under the Fantian Seal.

The Buddhist sect was furious, and the Daoist Ran Deng personally issued a challenge, demanding a battle with Guang Chengzi in 30,000 years.

Although Randeng Daoren was once the vice leader of the Chan Sect, he was never known for his combat prowess, and no one had high hopes for him.

Unexpectedly, after joining the Buddhist order, Daoist Ran Deng's cultivation level increased dramatically. At the last moment, he knocked away the Fan Tian Seal and killed Guang Chengzi on the spot.

Having developed to this point, both the Chan Sect and the Buddhist Sect suffered casualties among the Great Luo Immortals, especially the fall of Guang Chengzi, which ignited the fury of the Xuan Sect.

Although the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect were at odds, they were all members of the Xuanmen sect. Now that Guang Chengzi had fallen, and died at the hands of Randeng, the former vice leader of the Chan Sect, how could they tolerate it?
Just then, this statement began circulating on the Three Realms Network—

The Journey to the West is over, the West has flourished, the Taoist Ancestor's request has been fulfilled, and the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) has completed its task. Why not march on Mount Sumeru?

This statement immediately went viral online.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Xuanmen sect were immediately enraged. Led by the Golden Spirit Mother and the Antarctic Immortal, they charged towards Mount Sumeru! (End of Chapter)
