Heaven was naturally unwilling to accept that the underworld was occupied by Buddhism, so these two forces launched a protracted power struggle around the underworld.
The main reason why the underworld is in such chaos and the top management changes frequently is because of the conflict between heaven and Buddhism.
If people from the Buddhist sect are in power, they will definitely face opposition from the Heavenly Court. On the contrary, if people from the Heavenly Court are in power, they will face opposition from the Buddhist sect. Under such circumstances, who can last long?
"The situation in the underworld has become much more stable recently. It's probably all due to me."
Looking back, the strange look on Jiang Chen's face did not diminish.
The underworld has been very stable recently, very stable. Heaven seems to have ignored the underworld, and Buddhism has even ignored the underworld, so that no one disturbs the underworld, but it has fallen into a long-lost calm.
And this, in the final analysis, is still due to Jiang Chen.
Because Jiang Chen used a trick to destroy the false Buddha in Lingshan, Buddhism completely lost power in the underworld, and the heavenly court had the upper hand.
However, here comes the problem. In addition to being the new master of Buddhism, Jiang Chen is also a giant in heaven. To a certain extent, Jiang Chen can be called the third person in heaven.
The Jade Emperor is the eldest, the Queen Mother is the second, and Jiang Chen is the third.
The reason is very simple because, apart from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, only Jiang Chen can call upon the gods in heaven. Therefore, Jiang Chen's official position in Heaven may not be the third largest, but his power is definitely the third largest.
Jiang Chen was so powerful that all the giants in heaven did not dare to offend him. Before Jiang Chen clearly expressed his attitude, they did not dare to get involved in the power of the underworld for a while.
The two dominant forces in the Buddhist Heavenly Court did not dare to touch the underworld, and the other forces naturally did not dare to do so.
It was under this strange situation that the underworld ushered in a long-lost peace. The ten Yamas each performed their duties and kept the underworld running in an orderly manner.
Well, it can even be said that since the Tenth Palace Yama took office, he has never been so dedicated to his duties. He has clearly stated rewards and punishments, and he has not shown favoritism.
There is nothing the Ten Palaces of Yama can do. No one pays attention to them, but it does not mean that they are safe. This may be the calm before the storm.
Secretly, they don't know how many people are watching them. Once the situation changes, the ten of them will most likely bear the brunt and become cannon fodder.
Worried about his unexplained death, Yama of the Tenth Palace would naturally try his best to express himself at this time in order to gain some merit and save his life at the critical moment.
One of the biggest benefits of being a god is that as long as you do your job well, you will receive merit, which is equivalent to the salary from heaven.
Why do many low-level immortals like to be gods and work in heaven? The purpose is to seek merit.
Among the gods, especially the gods of the underworld are the easiest to gain merit. The Ten Halls of Yama are in charge of reincarnation in the underworld, which is very important. As long as you do it well, you can gain a lot of merit every day.
Basically, if you perform your duties diligently for tens of thousands of years, the merits gained will be enough to push the Ten Palaces of Yama to the realm of the innate Taoist Lord. If one performs one's duties conscientiously for a million years, it would not be difficult to become an innate Taoist.
This is an innate Taoist who has achieved Taoism through his merits and deeds. His status is very noble. When a quasi-sage sees him, he will call him a fellow Taoist. When a saint sees him, he will also treat him with courtesy.
In the ancient times, when Empress Houtu was in charge of the reincarnation of heaven and earth, although there was no such thing as Judge Yama, there were similar positions, and they were all extremely noble positions.
It can be said that even the great practitioners of Xuanmen are very jealous of these gods. Even a saint cannot guarantee that all of his disciples can achieve the realm of innate Taoism. Therefore, many people with great supernatural powers have secretly asked for favors from the Queen Mother in order to provide a certain future for their disciples.
Merits are of no use to the witch clan. Faced with the entreaties of those with great supernatural powers, Empress Houtu did not refuse, and directly used these divine thrones as gifts.
The consequence of this incident was that many people with great supernatural powers were indebted to Empress Houtu. Later, Empress Houtu was popular and famous, which may not be without this reason.
This situation ended only when the world changed greatly and Empress Houtu disappeared from the world.
The position of Yama in the Tenth Palace is so important. He is the most noble official in the world. Logically speaking, everyone should be vying for the scalp to be the official. But now, he has become the most despicable official. All I can say is, Times have changed, the world has deteriorated, and people's hearts are no longer as pure as before.
When the Earth Empress was in power before and after, who would dare to interfere with the cycle of reincarnation? Don't want to die? Therefore, the underworld gods can safely enforce the law impartially and gain a lot of merit every day.
Later, when the underworld came into power, it was just a management agency under the heaven. The heaven could not deter the three realms, let alone the underworld. Therefore, various forces have intervened in the affairs of reincarnation to seek benefits for themselves.
The strength of the underworld is low, and it dares not refuse requests from all forces. As a result, the majesty of the underworld has been reduced, and it can no longer enforce the law impartially. Naturally, it has no connection with the word Qinggui. The Yin God within it has been reduced to the lowest level, no matter how hard it is. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods.
The status of the underworld gods has fallen from being higher than the gods to being lower than the gods. A simple summary is that the backstage is not good!
The law of heaven is the only one. If a deity does a good job, he or she will be rewarded with merit. In the same way, if a deity does a bad job, he or she will be punished. The more you take, the more punishment you get.
The Tenth Hall of Yama controls the reincarnation of all things and has great authority. If he does it well, he will naturally have immeasurable merits and virtues. In the future, he will be expected to be an innate Taoist. If he does not do it well, it will be the end of eternal disaster.
Since the establishment of the underworld, there has been no one in the Ten Halls of Yama who has not shown favoritism. Therefore, few of the Ten Halls of Yama can have a good death.
This is exactly the reincarnation of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant.
…
…………
"The underworld is in charge of the reincarnation of living beings, so it is very important. If this chaos continues, it will be of no benefit to heaven, earth, or people."
"If I take power in the future, I will definitely re-establish the order of the underworld, restore the majesty of the underworld, and implement the word "Zhi Gong"!
Since Jiang Chen aspired to become the Great Emperor of Fengdu, Jiang Chen naturally couldn't stand the performance of the underworld, and secretly made up his mind to tidy up the underworld when he got some free time. Apart from other things, the minimum fairness must be achieved.
The reason why the way of heaven is supreme is because it is impartial and selfless. However, that was the way of heaven a very long time ago. Unless the world is about to be destroyed, the way of heaven will basically not appear in the world.
It was only later that Taoist ancestor Hongjun joined forces and replaced Heaven's heart with his own heart, which caused some changes in Heaven's way. It's still fair, but it's not as pure as before.
The law of heaven is universal, so how can there be distinction between good and evil?
It was the combination of Taoist ancestor Hongjun and Taoism that caused the good and evil in the way of heaven. However, these are not the good and evil of heaven, but the good and evil caused by the influence of the Taoist ancestor.
Therefore, many people don't say it with their mouths, but they can't help but whisper in their hearts, after the Taoist ancestors merged with Taoism, is the way of heaven really impartial and selfless?
However, no matter how you say it, the benefits of Taoism outweighing the disadvantages. All creatures in heaven and earth must inherit the love of Taoist ancestors.
If it weren't for the Taoist ancestors to join forces and allow Heaven to distinguish between good and evil, then Heaven would not care at all if those with strong cultivation massacred weak creatures.
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. Therefore, if a powerful ant kills a weak ant, why should Heaven care? The left and right are just ants, there is no difference in the eyes of Tiandao.
It was the union of Taoist ancestors that led to the emergence of the Heavenly Punishment, Heavenly Punishment and Heavenly Tribulation, which restricted the monks from daring to harm living beings wantonly.
This is the greatness of Daozu!
The reason why Daozu is great is not because he is the strongest, but because he has great compassion. Strong strength can only make people awe, but not respect. The world respects Taoist ancestors because they are grateful for his virtues.
From a certain point of view, it is precisely because Taozu is selfless that he can follow Taoism. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to just be the Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian who is detached from the world?
It should be noted that Daozu is different from the Six Saints. He was the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal who first became a saint, and then became a saint. As for the Six Saints, it's the other way around. The Saints become saints first, and then they become the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals.
In other words, Taoist Hongjun had a choice and could refuse to become a saint. The Six Saints have no choice but to become saints.
…
The Way of Heaven lasts forever because of the Supreme Being, and the Taoist ancestors last forever because of selflessness. It can be said that selflessness is the foundation that will never be easy.
If the underworld wants to return to its peak, it must be selfless. The reincarnation of living beings all depends on how much merit they had during their lifetimes, not who has the most powerful background.
Of course, this is also the merit of Daozu. Before Taozu, the quality of a person did not depend on what he did, but on how much spiritual energy he absorbed. The more spiritual energy absorbed, the greater the sin.
After Taozu, commenting on a person's good or bad qualities turned into the amount of merit in one's body.
Both have their pros and cons, but for ordinary people, the latter is obviously preferred. After all, people with a lot of merit will basically not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
"If the underworld can be fair, then all the Yin gods can return to their origins and become the most noble officials in the world. At that time, a large number of masters will emerge."
It was not without reason that Jiang Chen valued the underworld. He saw the potential of the underworld. As long as the underworld could trace its roots back to its origins and be relatively fair, it would become a huge generator of merit.
Every million years, the underworld can create several innate Taoist deities who realize the Tao through merit. Such a place is so important. Whoever can master it will really take advantage of it.
The reason why heaven and Buddhism compete for control of the underworld is because they see the benefits of controlling the underworld, which can produce a lot of merit. Why the management of the underworld is so chaotic can be said to be deliberately caused by the two forces.
The purpose is to prevent the other party from benefiting, so as to monopolize the benefits brought by the government. When a certain force completely controls the situation in the underworld, it will immediately bring order to the chaos and make the underworld fair again.
The underworld is unfair, so where does the merit come from?
"It's all about profit!"
"The bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit. Mr. Taishi will not deceive me!"
Looking at this circle, Jiang Chen saw the intrigue surrounding the underworld, and its purpose was to compete for the benefits arising from the underworld.
If they are just fighting for interests, there is nothing to say. It is human nature, but when their fighting is at the expense of harming the interests of heaven and earth, then it is their fault.
Injustice in the underworld will cause great harm to heaven and earth.
Where there is injustice, there will always be resentment!
After the death of all living beings in heaven and earth, their souls return to the underworld. If one or two people have a grudge, it is not a big problem. But if there are too many dead souls with grievances, it will be a big deal.
If there is too much resentment, Heaven will definitely feel it and cause disaster.
Jiang Chen can be sure that if Heavenly Court and Buddhism continue to compete for power and profit like this, they will pay a price in the future. Perhaps, in the near future, a huge disaster will break out in the Nether World, and the target of this disaster is Heavenly Court and Buddhism. Buddhism!
"If the situation in the underworld is not stopped, the Jade Emperor may be in danger of falling in the future, and Buddhism is not as good as heaven, and I am afraid it will fall because of this."
Jiang Chen has recently made a small success in changing his ways, and he has a deeper grasp of future changes. In a vague way, he seems to have understood the true meaning of the great calamity and seen the bitter fruits brewed by the continued deterioration of the underworld.
The Emperor of Heaven lost his virtue and fell into disaster again;
Buddhism fell into ruin and fell into ruin.
This is the backlash of countless dead souls!
"Why do I feel that the Jade Emperor seems to have done this on purpose? Deliberately worsening the situation in the underworld..."
At this time, Jiang Chen only regretted that his cultivation was not enough and he had not comprehended Dayan's divine calculation. Otherwise, his grasp of the future would have been more accurate. Now it is not doubt but certainty.
The Jade Emperor was far superior to Jiang Chen in terms of cultivation and knowledge. Therefore, it makes no sense that what Jiang Chen can see, the Jade Emperor cannot. And he saw it, but didn't care.
This is very intriguing.
Is it because he is confident that the calamity of the underworld cannot hurt him, or is he deliberately doing it to increase the calamity of the underworld so as to drag him into the abyss?
Jiang Chen's suspicion was not unfounded. Xing Tian said that the Jade Emperor's calamity has not been completed, and he still needs to enter reincarnation to make up for the missing calamity.
But the Jade Emperor has already fallen once, who will kill him a second time? Moreover, the Jade Emperor's cultivation is even better than before, and he is infinitely close to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. Who can kill him?
Therefore, in this case, Jiang Chen had reason to suspect that it was not that the Jade Emperor could not foresee the disaster in the underworld, but that he had foreseen it and did not want to care about it. He even had the intention of adding fuel to the flames and wanted to use the disaster to help him get into trouble.
The so-called destruction and then erection is nothing more than this!
"I'm going to see Empress Houtu soon, so I can ask her for advice. I can't see the Jade Emperor's plan. She is a master of Xuan, so she may not be able to see it."
After calming down, Jiang Chen felt that if he found a chance, he could ask Empress Houtu for advice on this matter. Otherwise, no matter how he guessed, he would not be able to get the correct answer.
Jiang Chen was very curious about this answer, because it was related to his future plans. Ever since he determined to become the Emperor of Heaven, it was destined that he would be the enemy of the Jade Emperor in the future.
Knowing that he was an opponent, Jiang Chen naturally had to pay close attention to the Jade Emperor's plans. If he really wanted to die, the problem would be much simpler.
An enemy who only wants to die is much easier to deal with than an enemy who only wants to live.
If he wants to die, he will do it. Maybe, when that time comes, the Jade Emperor may not even resist, and he will be killed by Jiang Chen.
