"There is no compromise between us and Buddhism." Gou Mang said coldly, not caring at all about offending Buddhism.
Although the Witch God Cult has been very low-key in recent years, their core is still there, or the meaning of the existence of the Witch God Cult itself is here.
In the past, the Witch God Cult followed the co-leaders of the human race in the past generations and led the human race forward. Later, they gave up their authority due to some reasons, but this does not mean that the Witch God Cult will change their original foundation.
No matter the existence of Demonic Sect, Taoist Sect, or Confucianism, no matter how developed their sects are, the concept of human race will not disappear, they will still be considered as human beings, and the spirit of fighting against heaven and earth will still exist forever.
On the contrary, this conceptual understanding of Buddhism is considered heretical by the Witch God Cult and will destroy the spirit of the human race.
Of course, this does not mean that Buddhism must be bad. If it had been bad from the beginning, then Buddhism would not have risen at all from the beginning, and no forces from all parties would tolerate this.
With the rise and growth of Buddhism, their scriptures and meanings have also undergone tremendous changes, which have also begun to have bad effects in the process.
So in the eyes of the Witch God Sect, unless Buddhism returns to its roots, today's Buddhism cannot compromise at all.
Zhu Jiuyin remained silent and did not express any opinions on this.
Even though he now recognizes the identity of the human race, he still has the memory of the ancient demon god. He only admires the unyielding nature of the human race, or the original spirit of the Witch God Religion, but he cannot empathize with it. This is the difference between him and other ancestral witches.
The many ancestral witches of the Witch God Religion seem to be the core of the Witch God Religion and share common interests, but this does not mean that their wills are completely consistent.
There are no two identical flowers in heaven and earth, let alone identical creatures.
Zhu Jiuyin and Houtu Yuzun, they are demon gods who came to this era from the ancient times. Even if they are human beings and recognize their identity as humans, they will inevitably be affected by their former demon god identities. This It is inevitable and no one can deny it.
They joined the Witch God Cult because they knew that the era of the Demon God had passed and they could never regain the glory of the Demon God. For this era, they were outsiders and they needed to integrate into this era. .
There is no doubt that the Wushen Cult, the oldest force inherited from the human race, is in some respects the most tolerant and the place that is most accepting of them, compared to other sects.
They recognize the Witch God Cult because they can be recognized by the people of the Witch God Cult from here, and they can also gain enough authority here to pursue their own interests, and at the same time, they will not be rejected by the other strong men of the human race and will not be regarded as aliens. .
These demon gods who have returned from ancient times have various attitudes. Even if they all join the human race, they will be divided into several categories.
The first type is the kind of demon gods who are aware of current affairs. They realize that this era does not belong to them, and they cannot regain their former status of stirring up troubles, so they made compromises and followed the strong men of the human race. Act under guidance.
The first type is that they truly recognize the identity of the human race. They completely abandon everything about the devil, just treat those things in the past as memories of the past, start to look forward, and make demands as a human race. Own.
There is another type, they recognize the identity of the human race, but they also maintain the pride of the demon god. They have a detached attitude and will not oppose the human race, but they may not really give without reservation. .
The identities of these three types of strong men are not static, but are constantly changing, because the influence they receive in the human race is constantly changing them.
For Zhu Jiuyin, he initially chose to cooperate with the Wushen Sect, except that Zhu Jiuyin’s ancestor Wuben was his inheritance as a back-up, because here he could maximize his interests. , can achieve their goals without being feared and excluded by other parties.
Even though he has lived in the Witch God Cult for so many years and constantly read the history of the human race, if he can simply accept everything about the human race and devote himself wholeheartedly to the human race, let alone the leader of the Witch God Cult and others. , even he himself doesn’t believe it.
So he understood and approved Gou Mang's statement, but he couldn't really empathize with it.
The leader of the Wushen Cult and even many powerful people in the Wushen Cult are well aware of this, but no one has ever questioned these things, because there is no need, everyone's interests are the same now, even if We have different views on some things, but we can still seek common ground while reserving differences.
Goumang Zuwu also knew this. He did not stay on this topic, but asked about another thing.
"You should have heard the news that Xuantian Sect wants to elect the Five Emperors of the Human Race. I wonder what you think of this matter?"
"The Five Emperors of the Human Race?" Zhu Jiuyin's eyes flashed. There was a hint of brilliance, and a smile appeared at the corner of the mouth: "Haha."
The former existence of the Witch God Cult was the priest of the various tribes of the original human race. It was the existence in charge of the human tribe and guided the future direction of the human tribe. where.
As the human tribes continued to unite, the human co-lord appeared, and the human sacrifice became the biggest supporter of the human co-lord, assisting the human co-lord to rule the human race and make the human race continue to grow stronger.
It can be said that even though the Xuantian Sect is the descendant of the Five Emperors of the human race, their relationship with the Five Emperors seems to be very close.
But if the Witch God Sect really talks about it, its relationship with the Five Emperors of the Human Race should be even closer. The two parties have cooperated for who knows how many years.
However, when it was first proposed to resurrect many co-owners of the human race by using humans to replace gods, even though the Witch God Sect came up with something, in fact, it was not very recognized internally for this approach.
Even though these human race co-leaders later returned to this era, the Witch God Sect still maintained its original attitude of neither far nor close. It was not because of the previous cooperation between the two parties that they planned to continue.
Now that I heard the news that Xuantian Sect is preparing to support the five emperors of the human race to ascend the throne, even Zhu Jiuyin, the returned demon god, has such a dismissive attitude towards it.
"Are you planning to help the other party and cross the river and burn the bridge one last time?" Zhu Jiuyin said with a sneer.
Even though he is not that sympathetic to many things of the Witch God Religion, he recognizes the Witch God Religion, and his interests are also tied to the Witch God Religion. But what the other party said seemed to reveal a lot of information.
The original Wu Zhu Priest was in charge of the sacrificial authority of the human race and was the most powerful existence under the co-lord of the human race. It could be said that it was at its peak, but why did the later co-lord of the human race still Now, however, many Wu Zhu priests gradually disappeared, and finally the Wu God Cult was established.
Now that I hear Zhu Jiuyin’s words and the information revealed, it seems that the choice made at the beginning was not the initiative of the Witch God Sect, but was forced by others and had to be made.
As a line of priests with powerful authority in the human race, the only people who have the qualifications and ability to force them to give up their authority and have to hide themselves in the world are those co-masters of the human race.
If the cause of all this was done by the co-leaders of the human race, then Zhu Jiuyin’s current attitude and the reaction of the Witch God Sect at the time would all be explained.
Although Zhu Jiuyin is not a person who experienced it personally, the original totem of Zhu Jiuyin’s ancestor Wu Zun was his back-up plan. If it weren’t for the existence of the Witch God Sect, his back-up plan might have failed. .
Also, as the ancestral witch of the Witch God Sect, his interests are tied to the Witch God Sect. If the authority of the Witch God Sect is affected, he is also a stakeholder. From this standpoint, he will naturally He won't show good looks towards those co-owners of the human race.
“Yes, these people are not resourceful!” Jumang Zuwu also had the same attitude and did not think that cooperating with these people was a good choice.
After the original Wu Zhu priests supported these human race co-leaders and took over the power of the human race, these people turned around and disowned them. They began to suppress many Wu Zhu priests and continuously weakened their authority.
After countless years of struggle and an unknown number of generations of co-owners of the human race, the Wu Zhu Priest lineage ultimately gave up their power for the sake of the overall interests of the human race and did not want to cause division within the human race. , and then the Witch God Sect was formed to hide in the world.
Although it is said that taking the overall situation into consideration and actively giving up power for the sake of the unity of the human race sounds a bit hypocritical, in fact, it may be that they cannot resist the suppression of those co-owners of the human race.
But no matter what, judging from the final result, the current Wushen Cult is the loser in the original struggle. They have suffered great losses. With the lessons learned from the past, they are naturally unwilling to repeat the same mistakes again.
"The leader has the same idea and has no intention of cooperating with them." Zhu Jiuyin said the attitude of the leader of the Witch God.
Although it is not necessarily the leader who has the final say within the Wushen Cult, as the leader, his right to speak is greater than that of other ancestral witches, and his attitude is enough to influence many people's thoughts.
In the opinion of the leader of the Wushen Cult, if the development of the Wushen Cult is not going well now, it is okay to reluctantly compromise and try this plan for the sake of profit.
But nowadays, the Wushen Cult is developing rapidly and is at its peak. Why should we still praise the stinky feet of those co-leaders of the human race, and why should we still compromise with each other.
To put it more arrogantly, the Wushen Cult has worked hard to develop for countless years since its establishment, not to do something, but at least to give them the qualifications and confidence to refuse things they don't want to do at certain moments. .
"The Xuantian Sect supports their ascension to the throne. Stop joking and don't end up being used as a weapon." Jumangzu Wu continued to sneer.
Not to mention that they decided not to cooperate with these human race co-leaders, even if they wanted to cooperate, they would need to screen the partners. At least this Xuantian Sect was not qualified.
It’s not that the Xuantian Sect is no longer the largest sect today. Their strength is not enough to support the strong recommendation of the co-leader of the human race to the throne. Even if they have the strength, with the Xuantian Sect’s sit-down style , still need to be on guard.
"Xuantian Sect simply does not have the ability to push them to that position. Xuantian Sect's strength is simply not enough, unless there are other Dao Lords to support it." Zhu Jiuyin also thinks so.
Even if Dao Lord Xuantian of Xuantian Sect is a veteran Dao Lord, he cannot use his own power to push the co-leader of the human race to ascend the throne. Even the five emperors of the human race are also strong at the level of Tao Lord. possible.
Even if the Witch God Sect agrees and the Witch God Sect comes to do this, it will be almost impossible to succeed.
In the final analysis, the position of the Royal Lord of Heaven is the top priority. To control the position of the Royal Lord of Heaven, you need enough strength, otherwise you will not be able to convince the public at all.
Even in today's heaven, Taoist sects need to unite all parties to transfer part of their power to be able to do it. How can it be done with the power of Xuantian Sect alone? If Xuantian Sect really With such great ability, why wait until today, why bother to do such a thing, wouldn't it be better to simply cooperate with Dao Sect directly.
And the attitudes of the several royal masters this time are enough to prove that none of them are willing to be puppets among the strong men who are qualified to ascend to that position. Once they are strong enough, they will definitely backfire again.
Don’t say that Xuantian Sect doesn’t have the strength to do that thing. Even if they can do it, and then wait for the Five Emperors to have enough power to bite back again, their investment will be in vain. How is this possible?
So in Zhu Jiuyin's opinion, the co-leader of the human race probably took this matter seriously, and he was probably not really crazy enough to think that Xuantian Sect would help them.
"I'm afraid they are not really frustrated and crazy, but because they find that their current situation is very embarrassing. They only have this opportunity in front of them. If they don't seize this opportunity, they will really lose it in the future. So even if I know Xuantian Sect has bad intentions, but I can only choose to seek skin from the tiger," Jumang Zuwu said with a sneer.
Although he was very dissatisfied with the co-owners of the human race, and the positions and interests of the two parties determined that they would not be on the same journey, Jumang Zuwu did not think that the other party would be so stupid.
Which of these co-leaders of the clan is not a human being? How could they not understand the current situation and that the Xuantian Sect does not have such power after coming to this era for so many years.
But for these human race co-owners, they don’t have many choices. This is no longer their era. Apart from their own strength, they can no longer regain any authority they once had. They have almost become The invisible man.
For these co-owners of the human race, if they want to gain power again and stand at the center of the world again, they must seize the opportunity to do something.
It has to be said that this is a good opportunity. Even though they know that Xuantian Sect's actions are intended to take advantage of them, they cannot give up this opportunity and have to choose to seek skin from the tiger. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope. , even if there are some risks involved, we can only bite the bullet. (End of this chapter)
