Rebirth of the Wilderness

As Hongjun strictly forbade all saints to participate in the war in the prehistoric land, and as Jiejiao suffered heavy losses and the true spirits of many fallen disciples were collected into the List of Gods, the dominant position of Chenjiao in the War of Gods has become unshakable.

After confirming that the war was won, the powerful men of the Chan sect gradually withdrew from the battlefield.

The withdrawal of the Chan sect did not mean a abandonment of the war, but rather trust in the outcome of the war.

They knew that with Hongjun's interference and the saints being banned from taking part in the war, Jiejiao was powerless to save the situation.

Therefore, the strong men of the Chan sect chose to hand over the stage of war to the human forces they supported, allowing them to dominate the final direction of the war.

With the support of the Chan Sect, this human race force has gradually grown stronger and more mature.

They demonstrated strong cohesion and combat effectiveness in the war and became the effective assistants of the Chan Sect on the battlefield.

The powerful men of the Chan sect believed that the human forces they supported were fully capable of taking over the war, replacing the Shang Dynasty, and leading their people to peace and prosperity.

Time passed slowly, and under the leadership of human forces, the war gradually subsided and order between heaven and earth began to be restored.

Although the powerful men of the Chan sect evacuated the battlefield, they did not leave this world.

They continued to follow the progress of the war and the performance of human forces, ready to provide help and support when needed.

The strong men of the Chan sect know very well that the human race is the future and hope of the world. Only by supporting the power of the human race can this world become more beautiful and prosperous, and the influence of the Chan sect can continue to expand.

Therefore, the strong men of the Chan sect did not stop after evacuating the battlefield.

They continued to spread Taoism and teach skills among the human race, helping the human forces to continuously improve their strength and wisdom. For a time, the great men of the Chan Sect became famous among the human race.

Not long after, the war ended completely, and the human forces supported by the Chan sect established the Zhou Dynasty on the basis of the Shang Dynasty, and continued to lead their people to develop step by step.

Time flies, years pass by...

While peace is returning to the secular human world, the primitive cultivation world is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

With the decline of Jiejiao, the largest religion in the ancient world, a new religion, Buddhism, has emerged in the world of cultivation.

This new sect, which developed on the basis of Western religion, not only possessed the two saints Jie Yin and Zhunti, demonstrating profound foundation and strength, but also showed an astonishing momentum of expansion.

During the Battle of the Gods, Buddhism skillfully converted the 3,000 disciples of the Jie sect by taking advantage of the fierce battle between the two sects of Chan and Jie.

These disciples were originally the best in the spiritual world, and their joining undoubtedly injected powerful strength into Buddhism.

At the same time, after the Battle of the Gods, Buddhism also won over the deputy leader of the Chan sect, the Taoist Master Ran Deng, and the four core disciples of the Chan sect, Cihang, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Juliusun.

These core disciples of the Chan sect not only have profound cultivation, but also have extremely high reputation and status in the cultivation world.

Their joining caused the reputation of Buddhism to spread rapidly in the spiritual world, and Buddhism became famous for a time.

The rise of Buddhism undoubtedly broke the original balance in the spiritual world.

Although the Chan and Jie sects still exist, their strength and status have been seriously challenged.

Buddhism, with its powerful strength and clever strategies, has gradually emerged in the spiritual world and become a force that cannot be ignored.

Faced with the rapid rise of Buddhism, both the Chan and Jie sects felt unprecedented pressure.

These two sects, which once dominated the spiritual world, are now in trouble.

The situation of Jiejiao was particularly serious. In the Battle of Conferred Gods, Jiejiao suffered heavy losses. Most of the disciples' true spirits were included in the Conferred Gods List, and the Sage Tongtian was also sealed and confined.

Today, there are only a few remaining disciples left in Jiejiao. It is good enough for them to survive, not to mention dealing with the rise of Buddhism. Therefore, although the disciples of Jiejiao are dissatisfied, they can only silently bear this reality.

The situation of the Chan sect was not optimistic either. Although it won the Battle of the Gods, it also paid a huge price for it.

Many of the disciples of the Chan school died in the war, and some even defected to Buddhism, greatly embarrassing the original saint.

Among these rebellious disciples, there were many core disciples of the Chan sect, and their betrayal dealt a great blow to the Chan sect.

Moreover, in the Battle of Conferred Gods, Jie Yin and Zhunti helped the Chan Sect. This favor made it difficult for the original saint to target Buddhism openly even though he hated it.

Therefore, both the Chan and Jie sects could only watch the rise of Buddhism in the spiritual world in silence, but were powerless to stop it.

This kind of helplessness and anger filled the hearts of the disciples of the orthodox and unorthodox sects with resentment and resentment.

Although Buddhism has not yet developed to his own territory, the original saint was unwilling to watch Buddhism grow, so he decided to consult the Supreme Saint and seek a countermeasure.

The Original Sage came to the Taoist temple of the Supreme Sage. After the two of them sat down, the Original Sage revealed all his worries and thoughts.

He said the rise of Buddhism posed a huge threat to them and if they did not take timely action, their own sect might be in trouble.

After hearing this, the Supreme Saint, who had always been adhering to the doctrine of inaction, could not sit idly by and watch Buddhism grow. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "Brother Yuanshi, I understand your feelings.

But the rise of Buddhism did not happen overnight, and we cannot rush for success.

Now, what we need to do is calmly analyze the situation and find a way to deal with it.”

After hearing this, the Original Sage nodded, indicating that he was willing to listen to the advice of the Supreme Sage.

The Supreme Saint continued, “The reason why Buddhism was able to rise so quickly was, on the one hand, because they cleverly took advantage of the opportunity of the Conferred God War, and on the other hand, because their teachings were unique and attracted many practitioners.

Therefore, we need to start from these two aspects and find a solution. You don't need to intervene in this matter. I will arrange it myself."

After the two men finished their discussion, the Original Saint left the Taoist temple of the Supreme Saint.

He was full of confidence. From his birth to now, Tai Shang had never let him down.

After the original sage left, the supreme sage sat alone in the temple, thinking for a long time.

He knew very well that in order to deal with the rise of Buddhism, a comprehensive layout and strategy must be made. Otherwise, not only would it fail to curb Buddhism, it might also cause conflict with Buddhism. The ban issued by Patriarch Hongjun had not been in effect for long, and Tai Shang did not want to touch it.

Considering the current situation in the prehistoric world, he decided to let his good corpse go out and carry out this important task in the name of Taishang Laojun.

It would be just right to let Shanshi take up the post in Heaven after this incident. After all, his Shanshi was also on the list with the title of Taishangjun.

After making up his mind, the Supreme Saint began to arrange for Shanshi to take action.

He told Shanshi his ideas and plans in detail, and urged him to be careful, pay attention to his words and behavior, and not to cause him unnecessary trouble.

After hearing this, Shanshi said that he would keep the teachings of the Supreme Sage in mind and try his best to complete the task.

He was fully aware of the importance of this matter and understood the responsibilities and mission he shouldered.

Thus, under the careful arrangement of the Supreme Sage, Shanshi changed his name to Li Er and began to contact and communicate with the human race of the Zhou Dynasty.

The name Li Er is simple yet dignified, which just meets the expectations of the Supreme Sage for a good corpse - to do extraordinary things in an ordinary way.

Relying on his profound cultivation and wise mind, Li Er quickly emerged in the Zhou Dynasty.

He had in-depth exchanges with wise men and elders among the human race, sharing his experiences in spiritual practice and insights into life.

His words were sincere and his reasoning was profound, and he soon won the respect and trust of the human race.

In his communication with the human race, Li Er not only spread the teachings and ideas of his own religion, but also understood the needs and expectations of the human race.

He knew very well that the human race was the future of the world, and only by gaining the support and trust of the human race could he gain a foothold in the world of cultivation.

Therefore, in his communication with the human race, Li Er always took the needs and interests of the human race as his starting point and provided them with practical advice and help.

His sincerity and dedication gradually won the gratitude and support of some human beings.

Thanks to Li Er's efforts, his influence among the human race gradually expanded, providing strong support for his next move.

In this way, Li Er spent a hundred years in the Zhou Dynasty.

During this century, he witnessed the rise and fall of the human race, and also deeply understood the needs and expectations of the human race.

Finally one day, Li Er felt that the time was ripe, so he rode his flat-horned green ox and headed west.
