Chapter 271: Eat soft rice and eat it hard [Additional chapter for the "Dream 0 Absolute Love" Silver Alliance]

"Thank you, Mom, for helping me reshape my outlook on life."

In legends, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have always been the noblest and most talented sacred figures of the human race.

Ji Changsheng had always respected the legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and believed that they were the key to the rise of the human race.

But he also suffered from the obstacle of knowledge and understanding, and did not carefully analyze the logic behind the rise of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

According to legend, Fuxi was the reincarnation of Nuwa's brother.

The reason why Emperor Huangdi was able to defeat Chiyou was because he received help from a group of gods including the Queen Mother of the West.

This is not the rise of human race, but the rise of human race with the help of sacred immortals and Buddhas.

But there is a logic that has not been explained clearly: Why would the holy Buddhas help the human race? Is it because the personal charm of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors convinced the holy Buddhas?

Without the help of these sacred immortals and Buddhas, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would be doomed to fail?

Without the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the human race could not rise? Li Huanyan followed Ji Changsheng and praised her mother-in-law: "Mom is still so kind and generous. If I were your mother, I would definitely tell others that the rise of the human race is all my credit."

Nuwa smiled and shook her head: "No need, I don't need anyone to add glory to me. I was already myself before the human race appeared."

Queen Nuwa has always been ahead of the times.

Her strength is not defined by humans, so she does not need to take credit for other people's achievements.

"But there are indeed many holy immortals and Buddhas who are greedy for other people's achievements. There are also many low-key talents who choose to hide their shortcomings and protect themselves. The human race is prosperous and growing. After the general trend has been established, befriending the human race will enable faster breakthroughs and better development. In the past, the demon race was powerful, and all the heavens and worlds were demons, and the human race was also a demon race. Now that the human race is powerful, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky are befriending the human race, hoping to share the human race's fortune and faith together."

Nuwa reminded her, "Behind many myths and legends are the division of interests and the struggle for luck. The two of you are still too shallow in your foundation. In this regard, you must learn to see through the falsehood and retain the true."

Just because she doesn't care about something doesn't mean other holy gods and Buddhas don't care about it.

Ji Changsheng and Li Huanyan both nodded slowly.

Ji Changsheng figured out a lot of things.

"Sister Hou Tu wants to revive the Wu clan, so she needs to seize the position of the Human Emperor. The legendary Zulong, the first overlord after the opening of the prehistoric fairyland, also chose to reincarnate into the human race. During the Conferred God Tribulation, Dou Mu Yuanjun wanted to help his second son Ziwei break through the Daluo realm, so he arranged for his clone to reincarnate as a descendant of the Xiqi royal family. In essence, they are all here to take advantage of the human race's luck."

Nuwa nodded and frankly admitted: "In this regard, I have taken great advantage. I have too many original shares of the human race. Later, I gave some to Taiqing and some to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but it is still increasing. My strength has increased over the years, which is also inseparable from the growth of the human race."

Ji Changsheng said sincerely: "This is what you deserve, Mom."

The first generation of ancestors were created by Nuwa, and there is nothing wrong with her holding the original shares.

Later, Nuwa distributed some of the human race's shares, but the human race gradually grew stronger. Originally, all of the human race's shares were only worth 10,000, but now 1% of the human race's shares may be worth 10 billion.

Therefore, as the human race rose, Nuwa also rose in status.

That's fair.

We are all in the same boat, making fortune together.

Those who invested in original shares will definitely make more money.

This includes many sacred immortals and Buddhas who have reincarnated as humans to take advantage of the good fortune of the human race. In essence, they have also joined the human race to make the human race's pie bigger.

Ji Changsheng didn't think this was a bad thing.

However, one cannot take all the credit for others’ achievements.

Moreover, we must not let them completely take over our position.

"It is definitely possible to achieve a win-win situation with the human race, such as my mother, the Great Qing Saint, and my uncle, the Emperor Xi."

Needless to say, it is a win-win situation for Nuwa and the human race.

When Saint Taiqing accepted Xuandu as his disciple and established the Human Religion, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had not yet been born. He can be regarded as the angel investor of the human race second only to Lady Nuwa.

Later, the elixir, medicine, morality and words of the Saint Taiqing were also witnessed by all in the early development of the human race.

So is Fuxi.

His actions were worthy of his status as the first Human Emperor. He also brought the human race back on the right track and helped the human race to completely kill Nuwa. This position of Human Emperor was a win-win situation.

Such cooperation is completely acceptable and should be more frequent.

"But for those holy immortals and Buddhas who don't work hard and only want to reap faith and luck, I will definitely cut off their hands if I have the chance. If that's the case, mom, why do I feel that the Western religion is suppressing the human race?"

Ji Changsheng came back to his senses.

The four great Bodhisattvas of Western Buddhism: Ksitigarbha, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Avalokitesvara are all of human origin.

And his strength is much higher than the average Buddha.

But they were only given the title of Bodhisattva.

This is obviously not normal.

Nuwa nodded and said, "You guessed right. The Western religion is indeed deliberately suppressing the human race. The reasons behind this are very complicated. One is that they were kidnapped by the 3,000 disciples of Jiejiao who were saved during the Conferred God Tribulation. Another reason is that they are afraid of the human race becoming too powerful."

"Kidnapped?"

Li Huanyan was a little surprised at first, but then she reacted.

"Mom, are all the Jiejiao disciples converted by the Western Sect during the Conferred God Tribulation demons?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Li Huanyan: "No wonder... The Western Church sealed three thousand Buddhas in one go, and eight or nine out of ten of them are demons. They really have to suppress the human race, otherwise they will be divided internally."

Ji Changsheng complained: "Zunti is so poor that he has gone crazy. He sealed up three thousand demon Buddhas without paying any attention to how badly Tongtian was cheated."

"Zunti has no choice. He owes too much to Heaven. The Western Religion cannot take the path of gradual progress. It must achieve immediate results. No matter how well the human race develops in the future, it cannot compare to the effect that the three thousand disciples of Jie Religion can bring. Not to mention, the addition of Duobao and Randeng makes it even more difficult for the human race to gain a foothold in the Western Religion. Duobao is the eldest brother of Jie Religion. He is born with the same stance as the three thousand disciples of Jie Religion. Randeng is not a human either, so Zhunti and Jieyin have no choice in the end."

Ksitigarbha is supported by Western religions, so he has no independent personality.

Western religions are supported by the Way of Heaven and also do not have an independent religious status.

You have to repay Tiandao’s loan regularly every month. If you can’t pay it back, your credit will be reported.

Jie Yin and Zhunti knew that the three thousand disciples of Jiejiao were poison, but they had to eat it anyway.

And they don't necessarily think it's poison.

What if, under the guidance of the Buddha's teachings, these three thousand disciples really gave up evil and turned to good, becoming three thousand Buddhas? Who wouldn't daydream?

Especially Jie Yin is the Grand Master of Dream Dao.

Only people like Nuwa and Taiqing Sage who have no pressure in life can be long-term value investors, while people like Jie Yin and Zhunti who are in debt can only speculate.

Ji Changsheng also had a mortgage when he was on Blue Star, so he could understand the embarrassment of paying the loan regularly. However, Ji Changsheng was surprised and said, "I can understand that the Western Sect was kidnapped by the former Jiejiao disciples, but why would the Western Sect be afraid of the human race? With Jie Yin Zhunti here, why would they be afraid of human rebellion?"

Nuwa sighed, "They are really scared. You were born too late and don't understand the horror of the ancestors of the human race. Xuandu and Dizang are only representatives of the first batch of ancestors of the human race. Before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the development of the human race was getting better and better. Xuandu quickly became the eldest brother of the three religions, and Dizang became the core of the local sect of the Western religion. If she hadn't been deliberately suppressed, she would have already reached Daluo. Changsheng, don't forget that Jieyin and Zhunti are also Daluo in nature."

Ji Changsheng: "...There are differences between Daluo and Daluo. Do they really need to be like that? I think they are just not confident enough."

"Two quasi-saints who became saints through loans cannot be confident."

Ji Changsheng was unable to refute what Nuwa said.

The argument is too strong.

"Moreover, the development of the human race is subversive. In a short period of time, through their own learning ability and fertility, powerful people at the Daluo level quickly appeared. You should know that before the emergence of the human race, Daluo was determined by birth and bloodline. Every Daluo strongman is a congenital god or devil or a descendant of Pangu. Even I am a congenital god or devil, the four emperors of the demon race, the twelve ancient witches, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, Kunpeng, Taiyin... All the ancient Daluo you can think of were born powerful.

"Everyone thinks it is natural for creatures that are born strong to become stronger in the future. The emergence of the human race completely broke this rule. And those who are different will always be excluded.

"No one, including myself, could have expected that the human race I created could produce a Daluo strongman. After Xuandu broke through the Daluo realm, the entire prehistoric world was shaken. This represented a complete subversion.

"There is one thing you may not know. Xuandu owes Taiqing a life. When Xuandu broke through the Daluo realm, many ancient Daluo wanted to kill him, but Taiqing protected him. Later, Xuandu attacked Kunpeng, which was also a tit-for-tat. Including this time when Xuandu attacked Zhunti, the cause and effect had already been planted in the past.

"In addition to cultivation, there is also the rise of status. Xuandu under Taiqing is a human, and Yuanshi has twelve direct disciples, eleven of whom are human. If the Western Religion allows Dizang to become more powerful and even take over the Western Religion, then the Western Religion will become a human race. If it continues to develop like this, will the way of heaven control people, or will the way of man rule the way of heaven?

Nuwa paused and added, "It was from then on that the myths and legends of the heavens and the worlds began to increase. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors began to rise, and the sacred immortals and Buddhas began to interfere in the internal affairs of the human race. These powerful beings were afraid of the human race, but they had to rely on the human race. They were very conflicted, and until now, many powerful beings are still very conflicted, so many of the things they did seemed very divisive."

Ji Changsheng silently digested the first-hand information from his mother.

This is also one of the benefits of clinging to someone’s thighs.

There is a lot of information that is not circulated in the outside world and can only be known by those in the top circle.

Li Huanyan also understood a lot of information: "So, if Dizang wants to become Daluo, she doesn't need Changsheng's help at all, she can do it by herself?"

"Yes, most of the strong want to become Daluo but cannot do it. Dizang is one of the few who can take that step at any time, but she stopped herself. If she really takes that step, the consequences will be hard to predict. Judging from the fact that she was sent to the underworld, Zhunti and Jieyin do not want her to continue to expand her influence in the Western Religion. And once she really becomes Daluo, she will definitely expand her influence. The local faction of the Western Religion, as well as those human ancestors who have been hiding their abilities, are likely to move upon hearing the news."

Nuwa looked at Ji Changsheng and said, "Changsheng, if you can really convince Ksitigarbha and make her determined to take a further step, it is possible that Western religion will also take a further step, or it may cause Western religion to fall into chaos. I guess Jieyin Zhunti is also very conflicted. No one can predict how the future will develop in the matter of Ksitigarbha."

Dizang has many potential allies.

For example, those disciples of the Western religious sect who practiced and grew up with her.

For example, the great master Xuandu, who is also the first generation ancestor of the human race.

There are also other human ancestors who have hidden themselves in the years, or concealed their abilities, or changed their appearance, but are still alive.

"The day Ksitigarbha attains Buddhahood may very well be the day when Tathagata attains nirvana."

Nuwa Niangniang revealed another bombshell: "Duobao joined the Western Religion and was named Tathagata Buddha by Zhunti. It was also from then on that Ksitigarbha was sent to the underworld. It is said that Zhunti personally predicted the future for the Western Religion and concluded that Ksitigarbha would become a Buddha after Tathagata's demise and before Maitreya. Ksitigarbha is likely to be a greater threat to Tathagata than Dipankara and Maitreya."

Ji Changsheng realized the complexity of the matter.

"I originally just wanted to join forces with Dizang to fight Ziwei, but now it seems that Dizang's status is more sensitive than Ziwei's."

"That's right. If you choose to join forces with Ksitigarbha, Western religion may immediately become your enemy." Nuwa reminded.

Ji Changsheng nodded.

"Mom, I understand the seriousness of the problem."

"But you still decided to help Dizang attain enlightenment."

Nuwa naturally also saw the attitude of her eldest son.

Ji Changsheng smiled: "Mom still understands me."

"Why?"

“Ancestors like Dizang Xuandu have done a lot for future generations, but their descendants have not given them enough in return.”

Ji Changsheng's tone was very calm: "I don't care about others, and the life and death of the Western Church has nothing to do with me. Now Dizang is my de facto ally, so I have to help him. As for the risks after she attains Daluo, I think they are all controllable."

Even if it is uncontrollable, it is the Western religion that is out of control.

Dizang has already reached the state of Daluo, how could something go wrong so easily? Besides, she is in the underworld.

The underworld is the territory of my sister Hou Tu.

Ji Changsheng summarized all the information his mother told him and came to a conclusion: Sister Dizang is just too thin-skinned and doesn't understand the art of upward management. Let me teach her.

Look how well I manage my mother.

A loving mother and a filial son.

The relationship between Ksitigarbha and Jie Yin should also be of this kind.

If Jie Yin is shameless, then he should go to Sister Hou Tu.

It’s no big deal.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Mom, take a rest first."

"Bao, bring the demon-summoning banner over here."

"I want to talk to Sister Jizo."

…

"Buddha, the Great Emperor Changsheng wants to speak to you."

Di Ting once again acted as a messenger.

Then he added: "I have already agreed to it for you."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: “…”

Di Ting said boldly: "Bodhisattva, I want to improve, and you want to improve too. Don't suppress your nature."

I hope the Lord will become a dragon.

Di Ting worked hard for his master's progress.

It feels like it's too loyal.

At this time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Nuwa Niangniang reached a consensus: the mount is chosen by oneself.

Be patient.

After a moment.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw Ji Changsheng in the Queen Wa Palace.

She straightened her clothes and said to Ji Changsheng, "Emperor Changsheng, please move aside first."

Ji Changsheng turned sideways as he was told.

Then I saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva respectfully bowing three times and kowtow nine times to the Queen Wa Palace.

"Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. In the past eras, Your Majesty never allowed our ancestors to go to the Wa Palace to pay homage. I can only pay homage in the underworld. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

Ji Changsheng looked at Nuwa not far away.

Nuwa waved her hand and said casually, "For these children who have already worshipped under other Daluo disciples, especially saints, it is not a good thing for them to get too close to me. It will easily cause taboos for their teachers."

Not only Dizang, but Xuandu also rarely steps into the gate of the Wahuang Palace.

The only person who made Nuwa break the convention was Ji Changsheng.

However, Ji Changsheng was not an ancestor of the same generation, and he took the initiative to choose the Empress Nuwa Palace as his first stop after ascending to heaven, which was different for Nuwa.

It is meaningful only when they are running towards each other in both directions. Among all the people, only Ji Changsheng, the good eldest son, made the goddess Nuwa feel the two-way running.

People like Xuandu Dizang may not be sure whether they have more feelings for their teacher or more gratitude towards Nuwa, so Nuwa is too lazy to order them around.

In case her orders come into conflict with those of Saint Taiqing and Saint Jie Yin, it would make things difficult for Xuandu and Dizang and would also arouse their teacher's fear and suspicion. There is no need for that.

In comparison, Ji Changsheng is much more useful and simpler.

Hearing what Nuwa said, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was obviously envious: "Emperor Changsheng, can you teach me how to be so close to the goddess?"

There were few ancestors who did not want to be close to Nuwa.

Almost everyone wants to call mom, but no one dares.

Ji Xiaozi fulfilled their dream.

In response to this, Ji Changsheng answered simply: "Nothing else, just the utmost purity and filial piety."

Nuwa nodded with satisfaction.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva...it’s hard to describe in words.

"I have also read the information about the Changsheng Emperor."

What you mean is, are you truly filial to Nuwa?

Ji Changsheng ignored what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, but raised his hand first: "Please stand up, Bodhisattva. I am a junior, and it is difficult for me to accept the Bodhisattva's respect."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva uttered a Buddhist name and changed from kneeling on the ground to sitting on Di Ting's body.

"What does the Great Emperor Changsheng want from me?"

Ji Changsheng said: "The Bodhisattva reincarnated Marshal Tianpeng into a pig's womb, and I haven't thanked the Bodhisattva for this yet."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "This is all due to Di Ting's actions."

Ji Changsheng smiled: "The Bodhisattva is joking. Emperor Ziwei will definitely not believe this."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name: "Reincarnation is the authority of Hou Tu Niangniang, and the Star Lord will not know the inside story."

She did it personally, and unless the Queen Mother Hou Tu investigated, the Ten Kings of Hell would not be able to find out that it was her who did it.

And the Queen Mother Hou Tu was definitely too lazy to pay attention to Ziwei, let alone take the initiative to explain anything.

Therefore, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not think that Ziwei could cause trouble to her because of this.

What's more, the holy war is approaching and the destiny of heaven is in chaos.

Even saints cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, let alone Ziwei.

Ji Changsheng smiled and reminded: "Let the Bodhisattva know. I have already informed Ziwei of this matter. He certainly doesn't dare to offend the Queen Mother Hou Tu, but I think he will soon cause trouble for the Bodhisattva."

The bodies of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Di Ting were a little stiff.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva controlled his anger and asked: "Why is the Great Emperor Changsheng targeting me like this?"

"Of course, it's to help the Bodhisattva."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: “…”

"Ziwei is the Great Luo Emperor. He wants to cause trouble for Bodhisattva. With Bodhisattva's current strength, he is definitely no match for Ziwei. Only by going one step further and achieving the Great Luo can he fight against Ziwei Emperor and preserve the power of the Western Religion in the underworld."

Ji Changsheng reminded enthusiastically: "Bodhisattva, I am creating opportunities and reasons for you to attain Daluo."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's tone was mixed with emotion: "The Great Emperor Changsheng thinks things are too simple. If I achieve Daluo, the prehistoric immortal world, including all the heavens and the myriad worlds, may usher in a great storm."

Western religion is the largest religion today.

The power is still above the Heavenly Court where the Taoist Patriarch does not show up to support them.

Once Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva attains Daluo enlightenment, he will have the opportunity to become the successor of Western religion.

This is indeed a major event that involves Western religions and will affect the structure of the universe.

However, Ji Changsheng shook his head and said, "Bodhisattva, I think you overestimate yourself. What impact will your attainment of the Great Luo have on the Western Church? Just continue to be your Bodhisattva in the underworld. It's nothing more than a low-level position with a high-ranking position. Bodhisattva, you don't care about the power of the Western Church, right?"

"People have no intention to hurt tigers, but tigers hurt people's hearts. A man is innocent, but guilty of possessing a treasure. If I can achieve the Daluo Dao, I will really have the qualifications to rebel."

"So what?" Ji Changsheng asked back, "Buddha, who can do anything to you?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "...Eternal Life Great Emperor underestimates the saints."

Ji Changsheng smiled: "Of course the saint is very strong, but the Bodhisattva seems to have forgotten that you have been exiled to the underworld. Now in addition to being in the Western Church, you are also a deity in the underworld. Can the Saint Zhunti still kill his way to the underworld? It's not that I look down on the Saint Zhunti, but is he a match for my sister Hou Tu in the underworld?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: “…”

She wasn't really sure.

"Bodhisattva, have you never considered yourself a part of the underworld of reincarnation?"

Ji Changsheng was heartbroken: "I know that Saint Jieyin has done you a favor and has done the human race a favor, but you have almost paid it back over the years. Now your boss is Sister Houtu, and the Western Church has sent you to the underworld for labor. Wake up, if someone is looking for trouble with you, Sister Houtu will naturally help you block it, what are you afraid of?"

In Ji Changsheng's view, it was only natural for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to take refuge in the underworld.

Of course, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva may be more principled and not want to change his allegiance, which Ji Changsheng can understand.

Understanding is one thing, but when it’s time to change, you still have to learn to change.

Although Sister Dizang is a senior, we still need to learn and keep up with the times.

So he immediately added: "I have long imagined that if I had a chance in my life to work with a top Daluo, I would feel very happy even if I did nothing every day and just listened to what she said and did every day. You asked me how I could get close to the Queen Mother. The first thing I did after ascending was to come to the Wa Palace and pay my respects to my mother up close. Other things are not important."

At this point, Ji Changsheng continued with a look of disappointment: "Sister Dizang, you also have a top Daluo by your side. If the West teaches this bowl of rice, at worst we won't eat it. You must have an independent personality!"

You have to eat soft rice in order to become a tiger of Western religion.

Sister Dizang, you still have too many moral principles.

It needs to be changed.
