Chapter 469 Occupational Overlap and Competitive Exclusion in the Proving of Laws

After several guesses and deductions, combined with information and statements from his previous life, Kunpeng can almost conclude that it is 'proof of the Dao through laws' and 'proof of the Dao through merit'!
Boundless fortune and merit—whether it's Nuwa who molded humans from clay and mended the sky with stones, or Houtu who transformed herself into reincarnation and opened up the underworld, they have all become saints, and this has been settled and is beyond doubt!

The ancestral witches, who embody the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter and are divided into the five elements, may have had plans and intentions to use the laws of nature to prove their Dao and to acquire fortune, merit, heavenly authority, and even to become 'saints'!
After careful consideration, Kunpeng could understand the thoughts of the Ancestral Witch.

The five elements flow and the four seasons cycle; this is the way of nature, the law of heaven and earth.

Seasons and rules intertwine, and the divine duties of Heaven merge with the divine status of the Ancestral Witch.

The upper limit of the Ancestral Witches is thus raised, enabling them to borrow and steal a portion of the Heavenly Dao's authority for their own use, and they are infinitely close to becoming Saints, reaching the peak of Quasi-Saints or even the realm of Sub-Saints.

This path is entirely feasible, for example, the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon of the Four Symbols of Heaven.

However, as for "becoming a saint," it seems that other opportunities or conditions are required!

For example, devouring or completely controlling a great rule, holding the source of the "Dao" in one's palm, the Dao is the Ancestral Witch, and the Ancestral Witch is the Dao!

For example, the 12 laws of heaven and earth corresponding to the 12 Ancestral Witches and their origins!
After much deliberation, Kunpeng had to admit that this move was quite feasible and workable!
Could this be the reason why the Witch Clan rejects those who are different from them and is constantly at war with the Demon Clan?
Its fundamental purpose is to monopolize the origin of the 'One Path' and seize the power of these 12 original Great Paths.

The demon race not only shared half of the world's fortune, but most of them also cultivated inner cores and these 12 fundamental principles!
The laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, time, space, plague/poison, etc., are completely in competition with the demon race, especially the demon saints and demon gods. It is a brutal struggle of life and death, a fundamental conflict that Teng cannot avoid!
This is the underlying logic behind the irreconcilable conflict between the lich and the demons!

No one can retreat; this is the fundamental reason why the Lich War became the most devastating catastrophe!
Furthermore, the Eye of Pangu gave birth to two demon emperors who used innate treasures to suppress destiny, establish the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, integrate the primordial beasts, establish the rotation of the sun and moon and the order of heaven and earth, and obtain immeasurable merit and fortune! For example, Donghuang Taiyi clearly also followed the path of proving the Dao through the laws of time, and he and the Time Ancestral Witch Zhujiuyin were natural rivals and mortal enemies!

As for the Demon Emperor Jun, whether he cultivates the Law of Light, the Great Way of Fire, or attains the Way of the Heavenly Emperor, far surpassing the Four Symbols and directly catching up with Hongjun, he will inevitably clash with the Ancestral Witches and even the 'Sages' and 'Dao Ancestors'!

As for the demon saints and demon gods of the demon race, they are basically all bound by the original principles of the 12 Ancestral Witches.

The establishment of the demon race was probably also driven by a real need to band together for mutual support and resist the witch race.
It is both a struggle to survive and a fight to transcend!
The world's heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river, but most of them are crowding into popular tracks, fighting desperately for the same ecological niche!

Kunpeng, whose soul originated from a later generation, naturally knew that two species with overlapping ecological niches could not coexist due to the principle of competitive exclusion. The dominant species would compress the living space of the submissive species, ultimately forcing the submissive species to become extinct, migrate, or adjust its habits.

The competition between the Lich and the Lich races is no different, and perhaps even more brutal!
They can blatantly and directly strip the other party of their life, fortune, principles, origin, and the various attributes of magical power/spiritual power cultivated over millions of years!

Kunpeng made this conjecture, and while feeling deeply moved, he also profoundly understood the ruthless and decisive nature of the struggle, leaving no room for compromise.

Forget about imperial ambitions and boundless prospects; for the losers, even the idea of ​​"if you don't advance, you fall behind" becomes a pipe dream, with a very high probability of losing everything and their lives.
