But the war never stopped. Instead, it became more and more intense as Chu Bai's aura grew stronger.

In the end, all the soldiers on both sides were killed, and everyone fell to the ground covered in wounds.

The duel between the military commanders ended with the Taoist warrior winning by a narrow margin.

"The enemy is ashamed, I'm going to take off his clothes!"

A declaration was issued to attack the enemy general, and the Taoist warriors also fell down due to exhaustion.

The battlefield was covered in blood, and there was no trace of Taoism's indifference or Buddhism's magnanimity.

If Chu Bai had not intervened, at least thirty or forty people would have died and forty or fifty people would have been seriously injured in this battle alone.

Although the human world has undergone rapid development, its total population is only over 100,000 people.

Even without mentioning a real war, just this small-scale fight at the village entrance. If the fighting continues like this, it won't be long before the population of Gensokyo will collapse.

“We really need to find a way to stop it.”

Chu Bai thought about it and sent Ah Qiu back to the Baitian family:

"Xiao Hei, you are here to protect Aqiu, and at the same time, try to preserve as many people as possible in the war."

"I'm going to Myorenji Temple and the Shinrei Temple to talk to those two religious figures."

"it is good."

Xiao Hei nodded, thought for a moment and added:

"Be careful on the road. If you encounter any difficulties, call my name. I can sense it."

"understood."

Chu Bai responded without further delay and quickly flew into the air.

The closest place to here is Minglian Temple. Chu Bai plans to meet up with Sheng Bailian first, and then go to the small fairyland together to visit the temple of the gods.

But what was unexpected was that when he entered the main meeting room of Myouren Temple.

In addition to the high monks from Minglian Temple, two ascetics from the Temple of the Gods were also seated here...

Chapter 259 Chu Bai: I have a plan that can restore light to the world of the living!

Chu Bai has become very familiar with everyone in Minglian Temple.

After all, he had a relatively close relationship with Saint White Lotus, they had interacted many times, and they had even launched mutations together.

So when he entered the main room, no monsters came to inform him and completely treated him as one of their own.

But his sudden entry startled everyone in the room.

I don’t know what they were discussing, but when Chu Bai pushed the door open, the harmonious atmosphere was instantly broken.

A Taoist immortal flipped the table and stood up, instantly offering a talisman:

"Monster monk, I will never coexist with you!"

On the side of Myourenji, Ichirin also summoned his stand, Yunshan, and the whole person took a JOJO standing posture:

"Taoist hypocrites, we should be the ones angry!"

As if the fuse of a powder keg had been lit, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Only Chu Bai weakly raised his hand:

"Um...I think I came at the wrong time?"

"...Chu Bai?"

It was Saint Bailian who reacted first.

When she saw that the person coming was Chu Bai, she was obviously relieved:

"Namo San, you scared yourself..."

"Alright, everyone put your weapons away."

As she said this, she closed the door again and added another barrier.

The two Taoist immortals obviously let down their guard after hearing Chu Bai's name.

"Are you the evil god... ahem, the famous magician Chu Bai?"

The person who spoke was an immortal whom Chu Bai did not know.

The girl is wearing a long robe, with two big ears standing on her head and a pair of headphones hanging next to her ears. She is dressed very fashionably.

Facing the stranger Chu Bai, she greeted him generously:

"My name is Feng Cong'er Shenzi. I am the leader of Gensokyo Taoism and the true owner of the Shinto Temple."

Chu Bai smiled and nodded:

"Hello, Miss Feng..."

"...My last name is Feng Conger. I'm Japanese, not Chinese. If you don't mind, you can just call me Son of God."

Facing Chu Bai, a strong man who had no religious beliefs, Feng Conger'er God Son was very enthusiastic and made no secret of his intention to win him over.

As for the other immortal, Chu Bai was very familiar with her. She was the Queen Qing'e whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Hello again, Brother Chu Bai."

Huo Qing'e smiled and waved her hand, then said with some resentment:

"We agreed to visit the temple a long time ago, but they kept waiting and waiting, and your visit never came."

Chu Bai was a little embarrassed:

"I'm here now. I sensed you were visiting Minglian Temple, so I came right here to see you..."

"You're lying! You looked surprised when you saw us just now!"

"That's because you've become much more beautiful, and I was surprised."

Chu Bai, who has high emotional intelligence, lied without changing his expression.

Then, without giving everyone time to complain, he immediately changed the subject:

"So, the two major sects of Buddhism and Taoism can actually coexist peacefully in the same room?"

"Are you secretly discussing something, such as... the direction of the war in the human world?"

Speaking of this, everyone immediately became gloomy again.

Feng Conger's tone was melancholy, and even his ears seemed to droop:

"I was discovered..."

Because Chu Bai is not a believer.

In addition to his independent status, no one deliberately hid it from him:

"In short, the course of the war is beyond our control."

"If this trend continues, believers on both sides will be killed or injured, and the number of believers will be greatly reduced."

Chu Bai raised a question:

"Then why don't you unite and stop the war?"

"If it is the Son of God who holds the leadership position in Taoism, and the White Lotus who holds the leadership position in Buddhism."

"If both of them declare a ceasefire at the same time, the war among humans should be stopped, right?"

Saint Bailian shook his head:

"It's not that simple."

"Although we are the leaders of a religion, we have become overshadowed by the excessive fanaticism of our followers."

"If an order is suddenly issued that goes against the will of the believers, such as a ceasefire declaration, our own status will be questioned."

"Not to mention the effect, the faith gained will definitely be greatly reduced."

Yunju Yilun, the second in command of Minglian Temple, echoed:

"And our secret meetings must not be discovered. If the believers knew that their respective leaders had secretly held discussions, it would also severely undermine their faith."

Obviously, religious people are more concerned about their own beliefs than the civilian casualties caused by war.

In the face of the impending war, the top leaders of Buddhism and Taoism also reached a rare consensus:

The war must be stopped and the status of Buddhism/Taoism in the hearts of believers must not be affected.

"This is really... a rather thorny problem."

Chu Bai stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

The leaders of Buddhism and Taoism have the same goal as him.

Everyone wants to stop the war and adopt a more peaceful way to compete in religion that will not exhaust all the resources.

But the believers whose minds were influenced were obviously too fanatical.

Once you go against the ideas of the believers, even if it is only a temporary consensus.

I am afraid that believers will express their dissatisfaction and then question their faith.

"Chu Bai, use your invincible brain to think of a solution!"

Queen Qing'e issued a call for help.

Since Chu Bai has a high intelligence point and is also the only male, the girls all looked at him with anticipation.

Under everyone's gaze, Chu Bai pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke:

"I have three strategies: superior, medium, and inferior, which can restore light to the darkness of the human world."

Empress Qing'e interrupted directly:

"Let's just go with the middle strategy. The best strategy is definitely too hasty, and the worst strategy is definitely too slow. Their sole purpose is to highlight the benefits of the middle strategy."

Chu Bai was suddenly choked, it seemed to make a lot of sense.

"If it's a middle strategy..."

"Since the villagers in the human world are killing each other and are caught up in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism."

"Then why not reshape a new religion and develop a new group of forces?"

"Furthermore, this new religion is an extremely tyrannical cult that is hostile to both Buddhism and Taoism."

This strategy immediately made Feng Conger Shenzi, who was good at politics, brighten his eyes:

"Is the best way to resolve the conflict between the two sides to create a common enemy?"

"Yes."

Chu Bai took over the conversation:

"The cult we create must be powerful enough to intimidate the villagers, and it must not be something that a single religious force can contend with."

"Under this sense of crisis, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism will naturally fade away."

"Everyone will also focus all their attention on the newly appeared enemy."

"In this way, even if Buddhism and Taoism come to a truce, the believers will not be dissatisfied."

"And you religious leaders can also take this opportunity to use cults as a negative example and make an agreement—"

"From now on, if anyone uses religion as a pretext to resort to violence, indiscriminately kill innocent people, and spread the flames of war... then the residents of Gensokyo will rise up and attack them."

Second Aunt's eyes lit up:

"If that's the case, both Buddhism and Taoism hold the upper hand. Even if competition returns after the war, fighting will certainly not reignite."

"Because whoever strikes first is in the wrong."
