Once the emperor and his ministers came to the throne, the new leader also needed to promote his own people and use the people he trusted and relied on to do some things, so as to ensure that his authority was not affected and he could better manage the Shenxiao Sect.
The Shenxiao Sect is not a one-spoken church. It is more like the leader of the Shenxiao Sect as the core, plus other elders like Yu Zhenzi who jointly control the Shenxiao.
This is the real leadership group of the Shenxiao Sect. It is similar to a united leadership system, not a model where one person dominates and no one is allowed to interfere.
This is actually not the case of one Immortal Sect of the Shenxiao Sect, but the fact that many Immortal Sects of the Shenxiao Sect have similar management patterns.
Leaders of the extraordinary world, they need enough power to sit in this position, and for strong people who can have enough power, even if they have considerable desire for power, it is not the same as this power. In pursuit of imagination, what they pursue more is longevity and strength.
The strong men who can really take charge of a sect know that their own strength is the core foundation of their rule. Without enough strength, their rights cannot be guaranteed, but they also have a long life and strong strength. Be able to keep the rights forever.
Even if some people’s pursuit of power exceeds their desire for power, such a rule will not last long. Without the suppression of power, it will eventually be overthrown by others. , even the so-called machinations are meaningless under absolute power.
The strategy is just to make better use of one's own strength, but the strategy without the support of strength is just rootless and cannot guarantee the success of the strategy at all.
For these strong men, as long as they ensure that their power is absolutely suppressed, they will not hesitate to release part of their authority and let other people help them manage all affairs.
They can reduce their energy, have more time to practice, and constantly improve their realm and combat power. In this way, even if other accidents occur one day in the future, they can still use it again. This authority is recovered.
Therefore, in this extraordinary world where great power belongs to oneself, the management of sects and sects will be more like the leadership of a group.
Such rules and management methods do not come out of thin air, but are the valuable experience that many sects and sects have passed down for countless generations and have been tempered by blood and fire. The best for their existence.
Of course, the advantage of these other sects and sects is that this rule has been passed down for countless generations. With such valuable experience, they also have various filing methods, which can smoothly to push this matter forward.
This is actually part of the reason why various forces in the world are ready to stir up troubles.
At that time, the world of China had not yet been promoted, and even the most powerful ones had a limited lifespan. This also meant that whether they were the leader or the elder, those who held the authority of the sect had a lifespan of nearly A day of aging.
For the sake of the inheritance of the sect, when a certain number of years are reached, no matter whether they are willing or not, they must start making some preparations to let the latecomers inherit their authority, let new people take the throne, and ensure the continuity of the sect. .
Such a rule of inheritance and moderation has been passed down. Even if the time is longer, the latecomers can finally see the hope. If they have the hope of reaching the top and controlling the power of the sect, they will not be anxious and will not I couldn't wait to choose to overthrow those elders and leaders.
But when the world of China is promoted, the emergence of true immortals means that the lifespan of extraordinary people will no longer be limited. Even if there is the threat of the decline of heaven and man, for most true immortals, they The life he possesses is almost immortal.
If the elders who were once in charge could survive one or two generations of successors, but one day they would eventually hand over their power, they could also use the help of the rising stars to check and balance the existence of the backbone, allowing the sect to Maintain balance internally.
But now, as true immortals and gods, they have almost immortal lives. As long as those latecomers are not certified as true immortals, they may not have a chance to hold power from the moment of birth to death. This is where something goes wrong.
In the past, the cake was given to the younger generation so that they could see hope and that both sides had common interests and could be used as checks and balances.
But now that they have completely occupied the position, the ascending channel of the latecomers has been completely blocked, and even the opportunity to draw a cake is gone. Instead, they have become the target of public criticism. This balance is certain I can't play anymore.
This is exactly like the scene when the Shenzhou world just expelled the demon clan and established the heaven. It seems that the human race has reached its peak development, and all the strong people have obtained what they want, immortal life and Endless power.
But in this situation, the position of the upper class is no longer shaken. For latecomers, it means the solidification of class. They no longer have a way to rise. How can latecomers be satisfied with this.
The solution that many true immortals in the Chinese world, like Pei Xuanjing, came up with was to continue to expand outwards, to continuously plunder more benefits, and to make this cake bigger and bigger. The bigger it is, the more latecomers will have the opportunity to move up, so that their dissatisfaction can be quelled and they can settle down and not cause trouble.
For the leaders and elders of these immortal sects, since they are unwilling to give up their positions, they need to provide more benefits to the latecomers and win over these latecomers so that they are willing to recognize their authority.
This is also the reason why they are finally willing to join the heaven development plan. Even though they know that there will be some disadvantages in this plan, it is undoubtedly a way to alleviate it.
But tens of thousands of years have passed, and the heavenly development plan of the Divine World has reached its peak. Even the development of the top immortal sects has begun to slow down, and the benefits gained have reached a limit.
Whether it is within the Heavenly Court or all the immortal sects, it has reached a limit, and the sharing of interests has also reached a limit, and there will no longer be a qualitative change.
This is true for the upper-level characters, but it is not the case for those strong middle-level people, because the upper-level characters have no room for further advancement, but this is not the case for them.
Therefore, they turned their attention again and set their sights on the leaders and elders. If they could obtain these powers, it would also be an opportunity for them to rise.
Going around like this, the contradiction that seemed to have been resolved and eased was brought up again, and this time the contradiction became more obvious, because the strength of both sides was stronger, and the strength gap between them also reduced.
As the current vested interests, these Immortal Sect Masters and Elders are naturally unwilling to give up the power and interests in their hands easily. After all, the changes in authority in the past were not really due to how great the people in power were, but the threat of life and death that made them reluctantly give up their authority. After all, everything returns to nothingness after death.
But now they are either true immortals or gods. The threat of life and death can be said to be far away for them. In the absence of life threats, they want to let these strong men easily It is not easy to give up the power in your hands.
In the past, they were not far away from death when they gave up their authority, but after death, everything turned into smoke. Now, after giving up their authority, it is not death, but they still have a long time to survive. Without authority, how can they be willing to do so.
But that’s the fact. Sometimes, it’s not just saying that you don’t want to give up the power in your hands. The younger generations are eager to challenge them one by one, constantly trying to separate the power from their hands. This is something they cannot tolerate, and they will naturally start to suppress it.
But suppression is not the best choice. After all, suppressing latecomers also means weakening the power of one's own sect and weakening the strength of one's own sect.
If it is a peaceful period, and Nanshan's weapons are temporarily put into storage, it doesn't matter if they sacrifice the power of some sects for their own authority, they can barely accept it.
But now is a world of great strife. Not only are there many sects and sects in the world of China, but there are constant conflicts between all parties. The powerful forces in the entire chaotic void and the sea of heavens are also looking at them. Once they weaken, It will inevitably arouse the covetousness of others.
If he does not suppress latecomers, his position within the sect will continue to be challenged, and his own interests will be shaky.
However, suppressing latecomers will continuously weaken the sect’s combat power. In this world of great strife, there are also dangers. They are also coveted by others. One mistake may lead to the sect losing everything. The door is destroyed.
So the leaders and elders of such a sect are actually afraid of two things. No matter what choice they make, it is not an excellent choice.
For them, the best way is to continuously develop their own interests, so that they can not only stabilize their own status and interests, but also stabilize the challengers within the sect.
But in today's world of great strife, there is no weakling in the Immortal Sect that can really rise to stand in the world of China and the chaotic void. There is no one who has experienced great waves to stand at the top.
At this time, the new Dao Lord Alliance appeared. Many Dao Lords in these new Dao Lord Alliance also have their own pursuit of interests. They want to challenge the status of the established Dao Lords and re-divide the share of interests in the world. Reorganize the power structure of the world of China and even the world of heaven and sea.
In this case, the two parties can be said to be a match made in heaven. With common goals and pursuits, cooperation is meaningless.
At the beginning, Pang Hong and the others thought that the cooperation between these immortal sects and the new Taoist Lords was out of necessity and they wanted to find a backer for themselves, just to protect themselves.
But when they really understood the situation of all parties involved, they realized that this was not the case. The cooperation between the two parties was not due to helplessness, but because the man and the concubine had the intention to get what each other wanted.
He even became clearer about the thoughts of these immortal sects, and their thoughts were more ruthless than Pang Hong imagined.
For some of the immortal sects, when they cooperate with these new Dao Lord Alliances, they hold the idea that if they can succeed, they will succeed, and if they fail, they will win.
For these immortal sects, if they cooperate with the alliance of new Tao Lords to challenge the established Tao Lords, if they succeed, they can naturally gain enough benefits, resolve internal conflicts, and stabilize their status and authority. , even to the next level.
Even if they fail, it does not mean that they have lost. In fact, they have won, because in the process, they will also take the opportunity to purge those challengers and stabilize their status and authority.
Indeed, simply purging one's own challengers would weaken one's own power and would attract covetous attention from other parties.
But what if everyone does this? If everyone is weakened, it means that no one is weakened.
A single Immortal Sect cannot do such a thing, but if we cooperate with these new Dao Lords and use their power to disrupt the pattern of heaven and earth, it will be a good situation for all parties to suffer casualties.
Waiting for that time will eliminate the internal challengers and free up more shares of interests, so that they will no longer be a threat and can become stronger.
For this approach, many strong people remembered some of the practices of the demon clan in the past. At that time, the interests of the Chinese world were limited, the human race was powerful, and the demon clan only occupied a small part of the interests.
But if the two sides continue to be at peace, new demon clans will continue to be born within the demon clan, which will also cause problems for the internal stability of the demon clan.
So at some point, these strong men of the demon race took the initiative to provoke the human race and start a war between the human race and the demon race. They did not care about the final success or failure.
If you succeed, you can plunder the benefits from the human race. If you fail, you will consume those demon clans. The free profits can stabilize the situation within the demon clan, so that the demon clan can continue to develop internally, and civil strife will not break out due to too many demon clans.
Of course, no one has directly said whether the various forces within the human race had such dark thoughts. This is a question that cannot be raised.
Even some powerful people have dark thoughts in their hearts, whether the original Heavenly Court development plan also had such a purpose. Indeed, the current Heavenly Court plan has been successful and has gained a lot of benefits for all parties, giving birth to countless powerful people. who.
But what if the original plan to develop the heaven failed? Will this cause these strong men to stop, causing the internal expansion to cause civil strife?
No!
Even if the heaven development plan is not truly successful, this plan will not stop. As long as strong people continue to step into the chaos to explore, regardless of success or failure, conflicts can be alleviated. (End of this chapter)
