All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 394 Chu Xiu's "incident" is exposed, and Jieyin and Zhunti force him to abdicate!

After the sages established their respective religions, the primordial land began to bustle with activity, and various forces became increasingly active, especially the Western Religion.

They actually created Buddhism ahead of time without Lao Tzu having to convert the barbarians to Buddhism.

Jieyin and Zhunti retired to the background.

They brought out the Buddha ahead of time, making him the leader of the entire Western Buddhist community, to rectify the originally chaotic West and purge the parasites of Western religion.

To Chu Xiu's surprise, the second most important figure in Buddhism was actually Kinnara Bodhisattva.

A being who should have been forced to rebel against the corrupt Buddhist sect and fall into demonic ways was not forced to leave Mount Sumeru because of the early appearance of the Buddha.

Instead, they joined forces and made Buddhism flourish.

Chu Xiu was amazed by what he saw.

But there was no interference.

The plot of the prehistoric world has already been completely altered, so it doesn't matter if it deteriorates a bit more. As long as he accumulates enough merit and proves his Dao through force as soon as possible, that's fine!

This has been progressing in the direction he envisioned all along.

With the division between immortals and mortals, the conflict between the witch and demon races was completely resolved, and Zhou Wushang opened up the cycle of reincarnation early on, even solving the problem of the primordial spirit of the witch race.

The entire Three Realms are more prosperous than ever before.

At this point, the problem of the limited spiritual energy of heaven and earth became apparent, and later cultivators gradually found themselves unable to rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation.

The number of beings who are born immortal is gradually decreasing.

The upper-level gods and immortals became increasingly entrenched.

Gradually, the practice shifted from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and searching for rare and precious materials to cultivating merit and good fortune.

Thus, after the Lich and Demon races stabilized, the conflict over incense offerings gradually intensified.

"So-called immortals and Buddhas are not so detached from worldly affairs. Just like mortals fight over food, territory, and women, they also fight for incense offerings and fortune!" Chu Xiu sighed as he watched the conflicts between the various sects escalate day by day.

The Investiture of the Gods war may seem like just an internal struggle among the Three Pure Ones.

In reality, it was the arrival of ten thousand immortals from the Jie Sect that drained the spiritual energy of the primordial world and seized the fortune of the Yin Shang Dynasty, making it impossible for other sects to develop.

It's purely a battle of fate.

As for the failure, it had nothing to do with so-called perverse actions; it was simply that there were too few saints in the Jie Sect, and they were unable to withstand the siege of four saints.

However, this time, Ye Lingxian becoming the leader of the Tongtian Sect has changed many things.

One is that they focused on quality.

It is no longer about teaching without discrimination, but about selecting the most talented students and providing them with more resources.

Another thing is that there are two more vice leaders: Zhenyuan Daxian, who is in charge of the Earth Book, and Hongyun, a kind-hearted man who also obtained the Primordial Purple Qi but did not perish!
Yes, that's right, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun joined the Jie Sect.

Especially the red clouds.

He greatly admired the Tongtian Sect Leader's philosophy of "education for all." Although he did not become a saint, he signed up to compete and became the Heavenly Emperor who governed the East among the "Four Heavenly Emperors."

By fusing the Primordial Purple Qi with the Heavenly Emperor's position, although he is not a saint now, he is better than a saint.

Extremely strong.

Zhen Yuanzi, on the other hand, used the Earth Book to evolve the City God and the Earth God, gaining great merit and becoming the "Western Heavenly Emperor," in charge of the Western Heaven.

In addition, there is the Southern Heavenly Emperor Xuanming and the Northern Heavenly Emperor Fuxi.

These are the Four Heavenly Emperors of today.

Of the seven Heavenly Emperors, three are from the Demon Clan, two from the Jie Sect, and one from the Witch Clan, which constitutes the current structure of the Heavenly Court.

These are currently the three strongest forces in the primordial world, below the Heavenly Court. They all possess both a Heavenly Emperor and a Sage.

In contrast, Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples were few in number and thus failed to obtain the position of Heavenly Emperor, while Taishang Shengren believed in non-action and non-contention and did not send any disciples to compete for it.

As for Buddhism, it is the only force that possesses two saints after the Three Pure Ones split up.

Since Rahu did not die and Hongjun did not engage in a major battle with him, the West was not impoverished.

Kinnara and Ksitigarbha, who were born in the local area, achieved the status of Quasi-Saints at a young age. Their individual strength even surpassed that of the current Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. Even within the Jie Sect, only a handful of people could rival them.

Their strength is not weak.

However, due to their failure to seize the Heavenly Emperor title, they now receive very little incense offerings and good fortune, and most of the merits from the Western Paradise have been taken by Zhen Yuanzi.

Their living conditions were not good.

"How strange! Why is the merit and fortune of this primordial world far less than when our lord first came here?"

The fat monk, who had become the head of the Buddhist sect, discovered that something was wrong with the sect's fortune.

That's far too little.

Let alone supporting the development of Buddhism to its current scale, even maintaining the status quo is difficult. The benefits of following Buddhism are too small, which has already made many people think about switching sides.

However, most of them were only tempted; very few actually ran away.

It wasn't that they were loyal, but rather that other forces outside of Buddhism didn't receive much fortune either—even the demon race, which had the most influence in the Heavenly Court, only received about ten times the fortune of Buddhism.

Seems like a lot.

But in reality, the demon race has one saint and three heavenly emperors!

Two of them were Heavenly Emperors who were in charge of the Heavenly Court.

They held most of the Heavenly Court's authority and controlled almost half of the entire prehistoric world's fortune, but they were only ten times more powerful than the Buddhist sect, which lacked a Heavenly Emperor.

"Something's wrong, something's very wrong!"

After some investigation, the fat monk finally discovered that the total amount of merit in this prehistoric world was pitifully small, completely incomparable to the previous battles.

The reason is not the copy itself, but that it was intercepted by someone.

As for who intercepted the flow, it goes without saying that it must be the true master of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven who controls the distribution of merits.

Chu Xiu took the lion's share of both the merits and the incense offerings.

Ninety percent is taken directly.

"You mean that 'Heavenly Lord' has embezzled the merits that should belong to us?" Zhunti asked in astonishment.

Jieyin, on the other hand, asked directly, "That's a good thing! We were just wondering how to make trouble for the Heavenly Court! Now that there's a matter of a deficit in merit, we can take this opportunity to force the court to abdicate. Even if we can't bring down the Heavenly Court in one fell swoop, we can still make that 'Heavenly Lord' lose face!"

The fat monk felt that he had overlooked something.

But I can't figure out what it is.

All I could say was, "Alright! The once-every-five-hundred-years Immortal God Assembly is coming up soon. All the great sages will be there, and the seven Heavenly Emperors will also be gathered. You can make your move at the assembly!"

Then, he turned his head and looked at Kinnara.

"Go to the Demon Realm and invite Sage Rahu to join you! Huangtian is backed by Hongjun. Without an equal figure to protect him, even if you launch an attack, it will be difficult to threaten him!"

He didn't know that Ye Lingxian was the Tongtian Sect Leader, nor did he know that Zhou Wushang was Houtu.

They were even more unaware that it was Zhou Wudao who replaced Luo Hou.

"Haotian is a good choice, as he has the authority to distribute merits, but his position makes him vulnerable to being attacked by the masses if he is not careful!"
