Rewriting the Gods

Upon hearing this, Zhisheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that everyone is alright."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Haofeng smiled. This pure concern warmed his heart. Perhaps this was the meaning of his efforts to protect the human race.

For the sake of relatives and friends, for the continuation of the race, for future generations to live in peace and prosperity, and to be able to roam freely in the primordial world, fearless of any person or any force!

"By the way, you mean it was better than expected, but it was a success?" Zhisheng asked immediately from the side.

"It's not a complete success, only half successful. It's not a full breakthrough, but the gains from this breakthrough are greater than I expected."

“I have already woven the Wheel of the Great Dao, but I cannot stabilize it at the moment. Once it is stabilized, I should be able to attain the Dao Sainthood.”

"Even if I cannot stabilize it, as long as I maintain the Great Dao Wheel that I have already woven, and as long as I do not take action, I am a Great Dao Saint, an existence above the Heavenly Dao Saint!"

As soon as Jiang Haofeng finished speaking, a look of shock appeared on Zhisheng's face. He was above even the Heavenly Saint!
This simple sentence contains information that drives all living beings in the primordial world mad.

Immediately afterward, Zhisheng's face showed excitement. If that were the case, what did the mere Western Buddhist sect amount to?

Looking at Zhisheng's expression, Jiang Haofeng shook his head and explained, "It's different. I'm not a true Great Dao Saint yet; I've only stepped one foot into this realm."

"The Wheel of the Great Dao cannot be stabilized; it requires constant and careful maintenance. It is impossible to make a move on ordinary days; when one does make a move, it must be with all one's might."

"Moreover, unless the human race encounters a great calamity, I will not take action against the Heavenly Dao Saints of the Primordial World. The Heavenly Dao Saints were ultimately established by the Dao Ancestor, and in the Primordial World, it is still the Dao Ancestor who is watching over them."

"I see," Zhisheng's excitement subsided slightly, but only slightly.

"So what, Haofeng? This is already fantastic news."

"It's better to take even half a step forward than to stay in the same place."

"As for not being able to attack the Primordial Heavenly Dao Saints, or not being able to attack in ordinary times, so what?"

"With you sitting in the chaos, the human race will not be in danger of extinction. Anyone who wants to attack the human race should think twice before trying to withstand your wrath!"

"With you here, humanity will not be in chaos. You are the pillar of humanity!"

"As for the Western Buddhist sect, they simply won't intervene. This current bet is a life-or-death crisis for the Buddhist sect, but not for our human race."

"Even if we lose, it's not a big deal."

"Besides, even if you don't make a move, your clan has the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Twelve Golden Men you left behind, and the Zhou Tian Star Array in the Heavenly Court. It's hard to say who will win or lose."

As soon as Zhisheng finished speaking, Jiang Haofeng was slightly taken aback, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Yes, for the human race, destroying Buddhism is not a necessary option, or rather, it is not the most urgent matter.

If we can destroy it, we will; if we can't, it doesn't matter.

In any case, the human race has now firmly established itself as the largest race in the prehistoric world.

On the surface, there are two Saint-level combatants, but in reality, there are three Saint-level combatants plus a half-step Great Dao Saint who can unleash the power of a Great Dao Saint at any time.

In the primordial world, no force could compare with the human race.

The current predicament of the human race is because the human race wants to destroy the Western Buddhist sect. If it were just about destroying Buddhism, there would be no problem. However, the two holy positions that would follow after the destruction of Buddhism are treasures that everyone in the prehistoric world would covet.

Humanity has already reached its peak of power. If it were to acquire these two holy positions, it would become the sole superpower in the prehistoric world.

This is something that no force in the primordial world, and even the Heavenly Dao, wants to see.

If this is done, humanity's enemies will not only be the current Buddhist sect, the Heavenly Court, and the Chan Sect, but will probably also include humanity's current allies, the Nuwa Palace and the Jie Sect.

Aside from these powerful forces with saints, some first-rate forces with quasi-saint peaks in charge will probably also be tempted to get involved.

After all, the Sainthood is reserved for the peak of Quasi-Saints, and a Saint cannot absorb two streams of Primordial Purple Qi at the same time.

Since that's the case, why can't I give it a shot?
The quasi-saint disciples under the sage are powerful, but which of the veteran quasi-saints who have cultivated since the beginning of time is simple?

The Styx Ancestor, Zhen Yuanzi, and many other reclusive masters of great supernatural powers will likely all make their moves at that time.

Moreover, when that time really comes, the Dragon and Phoenix races, who are currently half allied and half vassals of the human race, may very well have other ideas.

Among the dragons, Zhulong, Yinglong, and Qinglong, and among the phoenixes, Kong Xuan, Huofeng, and Zhuque are all powerful beings at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level.

They also have the possibility of attaining enlightenment, even if it's only a tiny bit. But when the position of an immortal saint is placed before them, who can resist being tempted?

Even if the chances are slim, it's like snatching chestnuts from a fire.

This is the current situation of the human race, which is to become enemies of the world. Given the current strength of the human race, unless Jiang Haofeng completely breaks through and becomes a true Great Dao Saint.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no chance of success. At most, they can destroy Buddhism and remove the holy positions of Jieyin and Zhunti, but these holy positions will definitely not fall into the hands of the human race. They can only benefit others.

Even if the human race uses the position of sainthood as a condition to win over the two saintly forces, it will inevitably offend other forces, and the human race will not gain much benefit.

The alliance is already loose, and it will definitely fall apart when faced with such enormous benefits. Even if the plan is well-planned, the human race will still have to pay a heavy price.

At that time, the primordial order will inevitably undergo a major reshuffle, and the various allies of the human race will likely leave.

If that's the case, why not take a step back?

To become an enemy of the whole world!
Taking a step back opens up a whole new world!
Currently, the human race is the largest power in the prehistoric world. The ones who need to panic are not the human race, but other forces that are hostile to the human race.

As long as humanity does not want to advance any further, and there is no great temptation of the Sainthood, which force would want to be hostile to humanity?
I still need time to cultivate, and the human race still has room for development. So why rush?

There are 480 million kalpas in the immeasurable kalpas. Only a few kalpas have passed so far. There is plenty of time to slowly wear it down.

Since forcibly seizing the positions of the two Western Saints at this time would most likely benefit others, let's leave them to the two of them for now.

It's not too late to make a move after the human race is confident in acquiring these two holy positions.

There's still plenty of time; there's no need to worry about the gains or losses of one or two great kalpas.

The key is to strive to improve our own strength and that of the human race!

Thinking about it this way, the current situation of the human race is no longer tense at all; the situation is better than ever.

There's one point: I made a bet with the two Western Saints. If the pilgrim successfully completes his journey to the West to retrieve the scriptures, Heaven will bear witness, and Buddhism will surely spread its teachings to the human race.

If Buddhism were to spread its teachings in Jambudvipa, given the current anger of the human race towards Buddhism, public sentiment would likely boil over, and even the Human Ancestor himself would find it difficult to suppress it.

Moreover, once Buddhism is transmitted to the world, its fortune will surely flourish, while the fortune of the human race will correspondingly decline, harming the human race while benefiting Buddhism.

This approach is also not advisable.

Ideally, things should remain as they are, with Buddhism neither becoming too powerful nor too weak, as this would be most beneficial to the human race.

To achieve this, we need to plan ahead carefully...

As he spoke, Jiang Haofeng fell into deep thought. Seeing Jiang Haofeng's expression, Zhisheng smiled and stood quietly without making a sound, afraid of disturbing Haofeng.

Hao Feng's expression indicated that he was thinking about something important. This was the same thought he had when he established the Manifest and Hidden Lineages of the Human Race, the Ancestral Pavilion of the Human Race, the Elder System, the Supreme Elder System, and even the Grand Elder System.

Now it's like this again. Once Haofeng thinks it through, the current problems in the clan will definitely be solved! Time flies by. Seven hours have passed since Jiang Haofeng was lost in thought.

Looking at Jiang Haofeng who had just woken up, Zhisheng asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Jiang Haofeng smiled and said, "It's not convenient to say more about this matter, but I already have a solution."

"We can achieve victory for the West without affecting the strength of our human race, but we can also limit the West's strength to prevent it from overexpanding."

Upon hearing this, Zhisheng's smile widened, and without asking any further questions, he directly asked, "So, what should the clan do next?"

Jiang Haofeng turned to look at the pilgrim not far away. His eyes shimmered with red and blue light, and a profound Daoist aura rose within them. All the images of the pilgrim from the past two or three years immediately appeared in Jiang Haofeng's mind.

"Six-winged Golden Cicada, Chaos Demon Ape, Marshal Tianpeng, Blood Sea Asura, Jade Qilin."

"Their strength isn't bad either."

"I didn't expect that the Styx Ancestor would intervene before even reaching the final step. He was a bit too hasty."

As he spoke, a sharp, cold glint flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes.

When the human race was weak, the Styx Ancestor forcibly entered the human race's ancestral court to spy on the human race's secrets.

Given its immense power and the guarantee made by the Styx Ancestor in response to Nuwa's authority, the matter was considered settled, as the Styx Ancestor owed humanity a debt of karma.

Unexpectedly, before the consequences could be repaid, they went on to deal with the human race.

Your pursuit of sainthood is understandable, but since you dare to interfere and confront the human race, I hope you can bear the consequences.

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Styx Ancestor was calculating the probability of obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi when suddenly, an indescribable sense of unease arose in his heart, as if he were being watched by a terrifying being in the dark.

The Styx Ancestor's expression changed drastically. At his level, the intuition he felt was not unfounded; it was probably a warning from the Heavenly Dao.

He was merging into the sea of ​​blood, which was also part of the Heavenly Dao. It must be that the Heavenly Dao felt that he was in danger of dying, so it gave him a warning.

He was in imminent danger of death, surrounded by a sea of ​​blood, yet he still managed to perish. Could it be that human Haofeng?

Surely not? If he himself is fused with the sea of ​​blood, does Haofeng dare to dry up the sea of ​​blood?
Thinking of this, the Styx Ancestor felt a little better, but the worry in his heart lingered like a dark cloud, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

This was the first time since I was born that I had felt such a strong sense of impending doom.

For a moment, even the Styx Ancestor couldn't help but feel a sense of panic, and even had the thought of giving up participating in the Journey to the West and obediently hiding in the Blood Sea.

However, in just a moment, the Styx Ancestor extinguished that thought.

Fortune favors the bold. While one might be safe in a sea of ​​blood, that's about it for the rest of one's life.

He was the most difficult being to kill below the level of a saint, but that only meant he was the most difficult to kill, not that he was impossible to kill.

I'll take a gamble. If I become a saint, I will become the pinnacle of existence in the primordial world!

Besides, we've already taken action, so how can we hesitate?

The hesitation in the eyes of the Styx Ancestor was replaced by determination.

……

Zhonghuang Mountain.

Jiang Haofeng reviewed the progress of the Journey to the West over the past period and immediately said, "The current response is appropriate; we can maintain it from now on."

"The five members of the pilgrimage group are the most outstanding talents in the prehistoric world, and they have already honed their skills to the extreme at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."

"It's not easy to find a good sparring partner like this: let a Taiyi Immortal from our clan who has the potential to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm take action and seek a breakthrough in battle."

"However, we must leave four challenges. I will take one, and the remaining three will be left to Xiang Yu and his men."

"The first eighty tribulations were all arranged when the pilgrims left Jambudvipa, and not a single tribulation was left in Aparagodaniya!"

"it is good."

Zhisheng nodded in agreement.

Jiang Haofeng squinted at the pilgrims below and said, "As for my tribulation, I will personally deal with them on their journey back from their pilgrimage."

Zhisheng was taken aback upon hearing this. "Haofeng, you're going to take action personally?"

"That's right. This idea of ​​mine was painstakingly carved out in the chaos in order to contact you. Now that we've made contact, it's no longer of any use. I might as well reincarnate and become the last tribulation on this journey to the West."

"It is a blessing for the pilgrims to have you personally take action," Zhisheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Haofeng smiled and said, "Since my birth, my opponents have gone from the younger generation to the older generation. It's no fun fighting with old fogies every day. It's a good time to test the skills of the younger generation!"

At the same time, Jiang Haofeng thought to himself, "Besides, if I don't take action, how can I replace the true scriptures brought by the pilgrims with the Buddhist scriptures I have written?"
Not wanting Buddhism to be completely destroyed, nor wanting it to become powerful, Jiang Haofeng's solution was simple: to split Buddhism apart.

The powerful should belong to the human race, while the original Buddhist sect should remain stagnant or even decline.

As for how to do it, it's quite simple. When Buddhism was introduced to China from India, it immediately gave rise to three different versions on Chinese soil: the Esoteric Buddhism of the Western Regions, the Chan Buddhism of the Central Plains, and the Vinaya School of reclusion.

The teachings of these three sects are quite different from those of the current Western Paradise and Mount Ling. Although they are all Buddhist sects, there are differences between them.

Since the current situation is dire and it is not advisable to destroy Buddhism, then we should divide Buddhism.

Jiang Haofeng plans to combine his previous memories with the concepts from online novels from his past life, along with the current Buddhist philosophy and his own understanding of the Great Dao, and add some elements that would benefit the human race.

Knead and knead to create three kinds of classics. Tang Sanzang was going to the Western Paradise to obtain the Tripitaka Sutra, so why bother with such trouble? Mine will suffice.

The Buddhist community in Jambudvipa (the southern continent) must use the Jambudvipa model, and cannot adopt the Buddhist framework of Aparagodaniya (the western continent).

The three collections of Buddhist scriptures—the Dharma Collection, the Abhidharma Collection, and the Sutra Collection—are not as suitable as the three collections of Buddhist scriptures—the Esoteric Collection, the Chan Collection, and the Vinaya Collection.

"By the way, these eighty tribulations cannot all be accomplished by our human race. You can go to Nuwa Palace, the Jie Sect, the Dragon Clan, and the Phoenix Clan in the future and ask them to contribute as well."

"The Buddhist sect has won over the Chan sect, the Heavenly Court, and the Asuras of the Blood Sea. Our human race also has allies. What is there to fear!"

Zhisheng nodded in agreement, "How much difficulty should we give them?"

Jiang Haofeng pondered for a moment and then said, "The Jie Sect has ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage. They are the most numerous and the strongest, so they can face ten tribulations. The Nuwa Palace has fewer people, so they can face three tribulations. The Dragon and Phoenix clans can each face one tribulation. The Dragon Clan has already made its move, so there is no need to disturb them."

"This is just a rough estimate. The specifics will depend on their wishes. We'll discuss it with them later."

"it is good!"

After a pause, Zhisheng asked, "By the way, since you don't want to make things difficult for the pilgrims, should you give Xiang Yu and the other two some leeway?"

"Alright then, if we don't let them pass, I'm afraid the five of them won't be able to get through."

"Don't deliberately show weakness. If they are no match for you at the crucial moment, you can let them go."

"Okay!" (End of Chapter)
