Chapter 159
In theory, the human race was still very weak at that time. Even if there were practitioners, they were learning the methods of immortals, demons, gods and demons. It was impossible to defeat immortals and gods, but Yu won for some reason, and finally suppressed the immortal destiny that should have flourished at that time with his powerful human destiny.
Therefore, in the past thousand years, immortals and gods have disappeared, and even the immortal cultivation methods circulated among the people are pitifully few, because the immortal way is suppressed now; and demons are also restricted.
This is why humanity has flourished in the past thousand years.
After reading Li Mo's memory information, Yuan Buwei understood everything - now the immortal way should be prosperous, but the immortal destiny is suppressed by humanity, and there are not many practitioners, so this world is like this.
"In other words, I should have come to a world of immortal cultivation?"
He said with some amusement.
In the fate story that System 999 had shown him before, Li Mo would become the demon king a thousand years later, and would be killed by the cultivator who was the son of destiny. Doesn't this mean that the suppressed immortal path will be revived in the future? ? ?
System 999 licked it skillfully first: [Seeing the big picture from the small details, seeing the leopard from the tube, worthy of the host. ] Then he said, [The host guessed correctly, it is indeed like this. ]
In the hidden fate story it saw, Princess Yuhua's plan was successful. Li Mo replaced Xie Yuan, and after marrying Princess Yuhua, his cultivation progressed rapidly, and he helped the emperor to maintain immortality by stealing life.
Not long after, Princess Yuhua accidentally learned the truth about her life experience, and turned against the emperor. In addition, the emperor became increasingly incompetent and did all kinds of absurd things for immortality, which was no longer popular. Li Mo killed the emperor in the name of justice, put all the blame on him, and took the opportunity to steal the power of Daxia, and even the new emperor became his puppet.
In this way, this great demon became the real uncrowned king of Daxia, and Daxia gradually became a country of demons.
From then on, humanity declined and demons raged all over the world.
The rise of demons and demons, which suppressed the fate of humanity, allowed the immortal way suppressed by the fate of humanity to revive.
The biggest manifestation of the rise of the immortal way is that various ancient secret realms were discovered by chance, and the inheritance of the immortal way flowed into the human world, which greatly increased the number of cultivators.
When the demons were rampant, the cultivators who obtained the inheritance no longer hid in order to eliminate the demons, but walked out of the secular world, established sects, recruited disciples, and taught skills, and gradually had the prototype of the later immortal sects.
At the beginning, the cultivators were not as good as the demons in terms of both number and strength, and were undoubtedly in a weak position. But as time goes by, generations pass on, generations struggle, and as the immortal path prospers, they begin to gain the upper hand, and the demons gradually lose the upper hand.
Thousands of years from now, a son of destiny will be born in the immortal path. He is a natural genius who practices and eliminates demons all the way until he finally solves Li Mo, who has become the demon king, and ascends to become an immortal.
From then on, the immortal path prospers, and the world where demons are rampant has returned to peace, as if everything has returned to the past.
In fact, there are many subtle changes-
For example, mortals are protected by immortals and gods. No matter which dynasty changes, every emperor who wants to ascend the throne must first offer sacrifices to heaven and be recognized by the immortals and gods before he can be considered to be in compliance with the will of heaven.
For another example, all methods related to the destiny of humanity have been cut off. As it is now, the palace is protected by dragon energy, and supernatural powers are forbidden. Even if the cultivation is heavenly, it will be impossible to fall into the mortal world here.
If the original Great Xia Dynasty had continued to develop, according to Yuan Buwei's speculation, when it reached its peak, it would probably be like the Beili he had built, with an incredibly rich human destiny covering the world. All the people with supernatural powers would be suppressed in the Great Xia territory, and even if demons appeared, they would not dare to act rashly.
But in the trajectory of fate, the human destiny declined, and even the emperor lost the dragon's blessing. The mortal dynasty had no power to resist demons and cultivators. Once demons appeared in the world, they could only ask for help from cultivators.
Therefore, the status of the immortal sects in the world became more and more transcendent, and they could still sit back and watch the situation even if dynasties changed. When their power was at its peak, they could even push for a change of dynasty and decide who the world belonged to.
The era of the great prosperity of the immortal way, which was suppressed by the human destiny, finally arrived after being postponed for two thousand years.
"... Good means!"
Yuan Buwei exclaimed after reading these developments.
If all developments are just fate, and this world is destined to be prosperous, so any obstacles are just small twists and turns in fate, then that's fine.
But if all this is man-made... then it's worth thinking about carefully.
Yuan Buwei suddenly thought of the origin of all the entanglements, that is, the original body Xie Yuan - Li Mo accidentally saw Xie Yuan, discovered his qualifications and fate, and became greedy, which led to everything that happened later.
"The seed of cultivation born, destined to ascend to become an immortal... Isn't this the son of destiny a thousand years later?" Thinking of Xie Yuan's qualifications in Li Mo's mouth, he felt a sense of reincarnation, "Who copied whom? Or are they all favored by the destiny of the immortal way, and the factory manufacturers are the same, so it's like a copy?"
If everything is regarded as a struggle for the destiny of immortals, demons, gods, and demons, the emperor represents humanity, and Li Mo symbolizes demons, then Xie Yuan is undoubtedly favored by the destiny of the immortal way.
If Xie Yuan had not been possessed by Li Mo, but was really with Princess Yuhua, with his qualifications and Princess Yuhua's luck, he might have been able to break through the suppression and obstacles of human destiny, and in the future, he would have achieved success in cultivation and ascended to become an immortal, and then the immortal path would have been revived in this era;
Even if Xie Yuan was possessed by Li Mo, this body with excellent qualifications could help Li Mo become the demon king, and Li Mo would naturally continue to develop his power. From then on, demons and human destiny would compete, and the immortal destiny suppressed by human destiny would still be revived, but it would just take another thousand years.
——The original fate trajectory was obviously the second one.
"Both are geniuses in cultivation, destined to be immortals, but unfortunately, one was born at the peak of humanity, and the other was born after the revival of the immortal path, so their fates are completely different."
After three seconds of silence for Xie Yuan, Yuan Buwei suddenly stopped and tilted his ears slightly, as if listening to something.
"...Who should inherit the throne of the new emperor?" After a long while, he murmured, "This is very simple."
"——I have a convenient and effective way."
Chapter 135 Tanhua 20
Although Yuan Buwei thought he had a good idea, the inside of Daxia, from the royal family to the civil and military officials, obviously did not come to Yuan Buwei for advice, and let him, an outsider, decide the ownership of the throne.
They were all half-believing and half-doubting what the crazy Taoist said.
After all, this person who was secretly imprisoned by the previous emperor for many years, his heart must be as deep as the sea, and he has no goodwill towards the royal family of Daxia. Who knows whether what he said is true or false? Daxia has been established for 200 years, and the alternation of the old and the new is a common thing. It has never been heard that there is any danger in inheriting the throne.
With such thoughts in mind, the princes, princesses and ministers present did not show it, but politely sent a group of monks and monsters out of the palace.
After the irrelevant outsiders left, they sat down to discuss what to do next. The funeral of the late emperor just needs to follow the fixed procedures. The most important thing is to let the new emperor take the throne as soon as possible and stabilize the government.
Yuan Buwei didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
Although he left the palace first, the little squirrel Yuan Qi stayed inside. This ear-reporting god transmitted the message from the palace through the straw squirrel left by Yuan Buwei, and told him almost everything that happened later. It was also because Yuan Qi asked curiously that Yuan Buwei mentioned his idea casually.
If others didn't ask, he wouldn't bother to say it.
When the news of the death of the previous emperor and the succession of the new emperor spread in the court, Li Sanyuan, or the three Yuan brothers, and the group of cultivators and demons who had been released from the prison by Yuan Buwei, had already gathered in the Daozhen Temple that had been cleared out. Since Li Mo's soul had been scattered, Yuan Buwei reluctantly accepted the Daozhen Temple.
Yuan Buwei asked them to come to him to repay their gratitude afterwards, and they really fulfilled their promise. ¤This work¤ is provided by¤ SiTu¤.com¤ for online reading¤
It's not that these people are so grateful, and not even one of them ran away quietly, but they just didn't dare to run away. After all, they also saw the strength that Yuan Buwei showed in the palace that day, which was simply unfathomable. Owe a favor to such a mysterious existence, and dare to run away, that is simply not wanting to live!
What's more, they are not stupid. Such a big thigh is right in front of them. If they hug it, they will have an extra backer. Some little monsters didn't have such an opportunity in the past.
Yuan Buwei saw through their thoughts and didn't mind. It's a waste not to accept the tool man/monster that came to the door. Anyway, he has always been the one to exploit the tool man. Who can take advantage of him for nothing?
Before he started to exploit, Xiao Yuan came to the door.
He brought the news of the new monarch's succession to the throne, and an imperial edict to confer Yuan Buwei as the national teacher.
——This is also a kind of comfort. After all, everyone knew that "Xie Yuan" was imprisoned by the previous emperor for "focusing on Taoism and refusing to marry the princess", but now they know his strength and the kindness of saving the princes and princesses. How dare they offend this big guy?
Even choosing Xiao Yuan to read the imperial edict was because he was an old acquaintance of "Xie Yuan" and could act as a lobbyist.
"...No hurry." Yuan Buwei was not in a hurry to receive the imperial edict, "It's not too late to wait until the next emperor takes the throne."
Xiao Yuan was confused, and looked at Yuan Buwei with a strange look. It's only been about half a month, and he was still in the prison to deliver the last meal to this good friend, and then he came out in a grand manner and became the national teacher.
Because his grandfather's official position was not low, Xiao Yuan himself had a friendship with Yuan Buwei. He had heard some things from his grandfather before, and he was completely confused.
...I thought you were forced to sell yourself, swearing to die and refusing to obey, a weak and helpless little pitiful thing, at most you took the princess's magic medicine but didn't marry the princess, which was a bit of a scumbag; but you turned out to be a big man hidden in the crowd, overthrowing the princess and the emperor in one fell swoop, and you are about to become the national teacher? ? ?
...And this is not the point. The point is, from your tone, you are not satisfied with overthrowing one emperor, and you want to overthrow another and change the emperor to be satisfied?
He was silent for a while, but he couldn't help clearing his throat, leaning close to Yuan Buwei and whispering: "Well, this... Although the new emperor is a bit overbearing and arbitrary, he asked Shishui to be the national teacher this time because all the officials unanimously requested it, so he had to do it, but it's not a crime punishable by death, right?"
When the two talked, they were in the main hall of Daozhen Temple. There were many monks and demons on both sides. Although Xiao Yuan deliberately moved closer to Yuan Buwei and lowered his voice, they could still hear everything clearly.
Originally, they didn't take Xiao Yuan, an ordinary person, seriously, but now, they couldn't help but sit up straight, look cautious, and reveal confused eyes: "???"
... What the hell? Isn't it said that the emperor of the mortal dynasty is supreme? How come a small official always says that the emperor's crime is not punishable by death? Is... this the style of a big boss? Sure enough, the big boss's friends are also big bosses. What a weak and helpless ordinary people are just a false appearance to deceive the world. So insidious.
When Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he noticed that the guys around him who looked difficult to mess with all cast awe-filled eyes at him, and their expressions were even more mysterious and strange, as if they had seen through his amazing secrets.
Xiao Yuan was more confused than them: "???"
... I always felt that these people seemed to have misunderstood something.
Yuan Buwei, who was sitting at the top, saw the changes in the expressions of both parties with his own eyes, and could vaguely guess their thoughts. He replied to Xiao Yuan with a smile: "You think too much."
"...
