Chapter 485: Chapter 320: The Bitter Affairs of the Great Qian Dynasty_3

Under the impetus of interests, as long as one could ascend to the throne, even if only for one generation, it was good.

Events akin to adding fuel to the fire had happened many times in history.

With the arrow drawn on the bow, it had to be released; the great turmoil of the troubled times had already unfolded.

With such thoughts, there was a sense of an impending storm, with dark clouds pressing down on the city.

"The Heavenly Master, we must not let those treacherous villains succeed!" the Emperor whispered urgently.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have dispatched Taoist soldiers to guard the Jianmu Taoist Temple, to deter the likes of Xiao Xiao. Those who dare to trespass the Taoist Temple will be executed without exception!"

"I am reassured with Heavenly Master Fu handling matters... However, after this calamity passes, how many will remain in the Mountain and Sea Realm?" the Emperor said, with deep concern.

"Your Majesty is merciful. As for this matter, be aware of Heaven’s will and exert human efforts; Heaven’s mandate is to be revered, and one must not go against it... How many can survive is up to the will of Heaven and Earth to shape. We cannot predict it."

Although the Emperor was young, he was strategic and deep in thought. He shook his head with his hands clasped behind his back and let out a slight sigh, "Let’s not speak of these things for now. Has Heavenly Master Fu discovered any traces of Ksitigarbha?"

The atmosphere fell silent again at this question.

"Ksitigarbha might really have... perished." Fu Tianyuan also shook his head, "Without a trace to be found, otherwise it wouldn’t have led to the state we are in now."

Speaking of Ksitigarbha, the Heavenly Master, too, felt a surge of emotion.

Although their paths did not align, he still had a considerable fondness for this Deity who had made a significant contribution.

The one who had issued the grand vow, "If I do not enter Hell, who will?" seemed to have been erased by the Evil God.

Even the monks of the Jiuhua Mountain lineage, followers of Ksitigarbha, were hunted to death. With the significant influence on the general environment, even traditional True Gods began to harbor evil thoughts of cannibalism.

The Emperor asked again, "What about that great Deity who claims to be the ’Emperor of Heaven’? Any clues about his Tier?"

"That one’s Tier is naturally not low," Fu Tianyuan replied with some embarrassment, shaking his head, "But... untraceable, truly untraceable."

"That great Deity, with a single statement, vanished without a trace. For months, Evil Gods everywhere have been looking for it but to no avail."

"I speculate, it might be an Outer Heaven God who came to our world, emerging out of the blue like ’Ksitigarbha’, only the timing of its arrival is truly unfortunate. The grand vision it vowed is too broad. If the vision is real, it would take an ability to turn the Great Qian upside down to reorder the Mountain and Sea Realm before it could be referred to as ’Heaven’."

Fu Tianyuan pondered for a moment, speaking with a complex expression, "But this overturning of the Great Qian is as difficult as ascending to the lofty heavens."

That sudden emergence of the "Great Sun" was a magnificent sight, revealing the vast and mighty nature of the "Emperor of Heaven."

But the struggle of the Mountain and Sea Realm was not so simple.

The more powerful the Deity, the more restricted their strength, at most able to only condense an Avatar and unable to exert even one ten-thousandth of their power.

On the contrary, some remote Evil Gods could take the field in the flesh, slaughtering humans.

In such situations, the struggle among humans becomes the most important!

Now facing the nearly infinite and ceaseless Evil Gods, just kill that batch of people who believe in the "Emperor of Heaven", and then it has all this power but nowhere to exert it, no matter how strong it is, it is useless.

Can this task be accomplished? Fu Tianyuan could not even imagine any army capable of unifying the entire Mountain and Sea Realm. Unifying a single Floating Mountain is already incredibly difficult.

"Therefore, the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva has vanished," said Fu Tianyuan. "Because the kin of Jiuhua Mountain, who believed in the Womb of the Earth, have been slaughtered nearly to extinction."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor clenched his fists with a dark expression.

"Nowadays, even if there are people who believe in the ’Emperor of Heaven’, it’s only a minority; otherwise, they would have been tracked down long ago."

"The boundless Evil Gods, as long as they slaughter this group of people, the ’Emperor of Heaven’, no matter how strong, can only fall."

"Can we seek it out? Seek its help?" Emperor Li Hao asked again.

Fu Tianyuan shook his head, "To seek it, ask for its help... that could lead to the rise and fall of dynasties. That one’s grand vision is to reorganize this world. Your Majesty, would you be willing?"

This question seemed to strike at the heart, and the Emperor, stunned for a moment, could only avoid giving an answer.

...

...

The conversation ended without yielding any results.

Each carried their concerns, leaving in silence.

Every mortal has their desires; if the "West King" had undergone a hundred lifetimes of hardship and travelled ten thousand miles, he could have become the Red Dust Immortal and would not have cultivated evil thoughts of cannibalism today.

But past mistakes could not be rectified, and current ones continued to unfold.

"To reorganize this land, to overturn the Great Qian Dynasty? Your Majesty, of course, wouldn’t wish it; how different would that be from nurturing the West King in the first place?"

Fu Tianyuan sighed deeply. On a whim, he suddenly sensed something and knew he had to prepare for the affairs of the Kunlun lineage.

"Know Heaven’s mandate, exert human effort."

"Teacher, the divination is complete... Some Taoists in the remote suburbs have been infiltrated by the Evil God!"

"The recent natural disaster in Fenghua City also emerged from the covert actions of Kunlun disciples; how could they abet the tiger, harming the Human Clan? They truly deserve death!"

Five or six young Heavenly Masters, a mix of men and women, some gentle and refined, others wise and open-minded, all in their early twenties, rushed to Fu Tianyuan. They were his students.

Talking about this matter, their faces showed anger mixed with helplessness. The Mountain and Sea Realm was too vast; even using Divination to know this information, it often felt like having the will but not the strength. Just to reach those peripheral small cities on horseback would take months. Moreover, this corrupt environment could not be changed by a single individual.

"Fortunately, a group of local militia emerged in Fenghua City; the True God ’Mother of Turtle Spirit’ also exerted some strength, which finally extinguished this disaster." This young man named Zhong Li excitedly said, "I truly want to meet those militia who slew the Evil Gods, such true heroes indeed."
