Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 244: Planning for the West
Although it is not stated openly that the West is forbidden to preach to the East, it is an unspoken rule that all Eastern strong men tacitly accept.

If Ao Bing's plan is followed, this unspoken rule will undoubtedly be broken.

Afterwards, if they succeeded in severely damaging or even destroying Western religion, that would be fine. But if they failed and instead allowed it to successfully establish a foothold in the East and spread its teachings everywhere, who would be responsible for this?
It was true that Ao Bing proposed the plan, but he was only a third-generation disciple of the Xuan Sect, and his shoulders were not equipped to bear such a heavy responsibility. Without a doubt, this responsibility must be placed on Laojun's head and he must bear it.

That is to say, Ao Bing discussed this matter with Laojun, ostensibly to seek his opinion, but in reality he wanted him to take the blame and bear the responsibility.

Without his nod, no matter how good Ao Bing's plan was, the two saints from the West would not dare to come to the East to preach. But if he nodded, he would be responsible for the matter.

If anything goes wrong afterwards, the main responsibility will be on him, and Ao Bing will only bear secondary responsibility at best.

"Uncle Master, even if this door is not opened now, it will be opened in the future. The West will prosper and the East will be preached. This is destiny and cannot be changed."

"In order to become saints, the two saints of the West made so many great wishes to the Heavenly Dao in one breath, and they all need to be fulfilled. If the West is not prosperous, how can they fulfill these great wishes?"

"And if they fail to fulfill their ambitions, Heaven can't really take back their sainthood, right? Compared to taking back the sainthood of the two saints in the West, it is obviously easier to let the West prosper."

"So, even if we don't take the initiative to open this hole, it will be opened passively in the future under the pressure of the law of heaven."

"Since the outcome is already determined, what we need to do is to minimize the losses. Instead of responding passively, it is better to take the initiative and bring the Western religion into the game in advance, so as to firmly control the initiative."

Seeing Laojun hesitate, Ao Bing continued to persuade him. He might not understand the general trend of heaven, but he was very good at analyzing the pros and cons.

If the West cannot flourish, the great aspirations of the two Western saints cannot be fulfilled. And if they cannot fulfill their aspirations, the Heavenly Dao will take back the sainthood granted to them.

But the question is, since the holy position has been bestowed, how can it be taken back easily?
If the money is really taken back, then the previous investment, that is, the merit invested in the two saints of the West, wouldn’t it be wasted?
Even if it is just to prevent this debt from going unresolved, the Heavenly Dao will side with the two saints from the West and give them some cheats.

Not to mention, the Heavenly Dao also needs the rise of the West to balance the Xuanmen.

The Way of Heaven places the utmost importance on balance. However, in the ancient times, the Xuanmen was too powerful and almost dominated the world, so that the Demonic Way, which was used to balance the Immortal Way, was no match for it.

In this situation, the Heavenly Dao naturally needs to support another force to continue competing with the Immortal Dao.

Considering the current situation of the prehistoric world, the only one that can be favored by the Heavenly Dao is the Western Religion, which has always been rejected by the Xuanmen.

First of all, Xuanmen has always regarded itself as the orthodox path, while Western religion is a side path and is not favored by the immortals.

Secondly, the cultivation methods of Western religions are completely different from the immortal way. Thirdly, the teachings of Western religions seem to be derived from the devil way, which is also inconsistent with the immortal way.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Western religion has nothing to do with Taoism. Instead, it is a complete entity of its own, independent of Taoism.

A force that is not favored by the immortal way and is independent of the immortal way is simply another evil way. It is only too normal for it to be valued and supported by the heavenly way and used to balance the Xuanmen.

These were all analyzed by Ao Bing himself and verified by the Heavenly Dao. If he could analyze them, the saints could also analyze them.

Therefore, Ao Bing believed that Saint Taiqing must understand what he said.

"That's right. Instead of passively accepting something, it's better to take the initiative. You don't have to worry about this matter. Let Da Shang give orders to the Western Church. I will discuss the rest with the two fellow Taoists from the West."

Laojun was not a person who was indecisive. He hesitated for a moment before making a decision. He agreed to Ao Bing's plan. No, it should be said that he made Ao Bing's plan a condition and attached it to his own plan.

Just as Ao Bing thought, Western Daxing could no longer stop this, and all the saints knew it. And for this reason, Saint Taiqing also had a vague idea.

It was similar to what Ao Bing thought. Instead of responding passively, it was better to turn passivity into initiative. That is, actively invite the two saints from the West to preach in the East, so that they would owe the East a favor.

Since things can't be stopped anyway, you might as well take the opportunity to get more benefits and try to make up for your losses.

This was the plan of the Saint Taiqing, to ask for favors from the two saints in the West in exchange for preaching, in anticipation of the future.

This plan does not conflict with Ao Bing's plan, but rather complements each other.

The two people's plan can be seen as two parts.

Ao Bing's plan was the first half, which was intended to weaken the power of the Western Religion so that it would break away from Xuanmen and set up its own sect without being able to take away too much of Xuanmen's luck.

If Western religion wants to flourish, the more luck it has, the better. If it cannot take away too much luck from Xuanmen, then if Western religion wants to flourish in the future, it will inevitably encounter more twists and turns.

The plan of Saint Taiqing is the second half, which is to ask for favors from the two saints in the West in exchange for preaching.

As the saying goes, after prosperity comes decline. Without a treasure to suppress its luck, the West will inevitably decline after its prosperity. Asking for favors from the two saints in the West is a preparation for this and speeding up its decline.

One of them is creating difficulties for the Western Great Development, and the other is trying to shorten the time of the Western Great Development. Isn't it complementary? If this plan succeeds, the Western Church will be completely defeated.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Uncle Master!"

Ao Bing didn't know what Laojun was thinking, so when he saw that he agreed, he quickly replied happily. But if he knew what Laojun was thinking, he probably wouldn't be able to laugh.

Although Laojun's plan was good, he could never have imagined that if things developed according to the normal timeline, the favor he wanted would be used by Yuanshi Tianzun to deal with Tongtian Jiaozhu.

In exchange for this favor, I ask the two saints from the West to help me break the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

If there is no benefit, why would the two saints in the West help Yuanshi Tianzun to deal with Tongtian Jiaozhu? Therefore, after the Conferred God, the restriction of the East prohibiting the West from preaching was lifted.

The West became independent and, by converting a large number of disciples from the Jiejiao Sect, it took away a large amount of Xuanmen's luck.

It is hard to say whether Yuanshi Tianzun gained any benefits after Jiejiao was destroyed, but Western Religion definitely gained huge benefits and became a top sect, replacing Jiejiao.

……

After talking about things in the West, Ao Bing did not stay in the Tushita Palace for long. He said goodbye to Laojun, left Tushita Heaven and went to the History Museum.

He wanted to see how the history of heaven was being edited.

He now has a catalog of dragon history, and next he only needs to obtain the catalogs of celestial history and human history to meet the requirements for breaking through to the mythical Taiyi.
