Chapter 19 Reasonable Inference

A group of saints' disciples died in exchange for one miserable life. This is the most satisfying episode!
But the development of the plot obviously exceeded Zhao Si's expectations. He frowned and realized that something was not right:

"That's not right. Even if Emperor Jun really found out that Jiejiao and Xianjiao were plotting to overthrow the sect, he wouldn't lead people to attack Kunlun Mountain directly, right?"

They stormed the other side's dojo base camp. This is a huge feud! Didn't Di Jun know that since the other side had already achieved enlightenment and become a saint, the power between the enemy and us had fundamentally reversed?
All below the saints are ants. If they are really provoked, even though the Heavenly Court has a large number of people and an all-star lineup that seems very luxurious, in fact, the Two Saints can wipe them out without much effort!

Didn't Di Jun completely offend the other party by rushing forward to start a fight?
Why did he risk his life to make enemies with the saints?

"This can't possibly be the protagonist's credit!"

Without thinking too long, Zhao Si decisively denied the possibility that it was the protagonist Jin Bing's greedy words that were at work.

It's not that he looks down on the protagonist. No matter how the protagonist spreads mischief in front of Di Jun, in fact, such things can be found out once they are investigated. Although Guangchengzi and others are indeed arrogant and disrespectful to the Heavenly Court, at least they have not revealed their true colors.

In the ancient times, there were many people who were dissatisfied with the Heavenly Court. If Emperor Jun really wanted to start killing people for this reason, it would be like waking up to find himself the enemy of the world!
In other words, Emperor Jun did not target Kunlun Mountain because he believed the protagonist's lies, nor was he furious because he had discovered that the Jie and Chan sects were conspiring against the heaven. Instead, he himself wanted to take advantage of this matter to achieve certain political goals.

Whether it was slander or evidence from investigation, they were just his excuses. This only legitimate emperor who ruled the prehistoric world was definitely not a tyrant who acted on impulse...

"Could it be..."

Zhao Si suddenly thought of something and seemed to realize:
"It has been hundreds of years since Nuwa created humans, and the other five saints have only just established their religions and become saints. They should not have actually offended the Heavenly Court, but their sainthood itself is the biggest challenge to the Heavenly Court's ruling group."

No matter what world or political system it is, in essence, the strong are using force to establish their supreme rule, and force is the pillar of power.

Before the Six Saints attained enlightenment, there was only one saint in the world, Hongjun. Hongjun Daozu himself was the strongest man and preacher in the prehistoric world, so he was the legal source of the legitimacy of all the forces of the immortal way.

Di Jun was designated by Daozu as the leader of the only legitimate regime in Honghuang, so his legal principles originated from Hongjun. Even Hongjun recognized this legal principle, so Hongjun's disciples should naturally respect and acknowledge Di Jun's authority. Even if there are always people who are dissatisfied with Di Jun, they dare not express it openly.

But legitimacy is legitimacy, and the ruling power of Heavenly Court fundamentally depends on the cultivation of Emperor Jun himself and the cultivation of the strong people who truly obey his orders.

In the past, Di Jun was a quasi-saint level powerful being, and Taiyi, Kunpeng and other heavenly powerful beings also had quasi-saint cultivation. The strength of their collective force was unique in the entire prehistoric world, so no one dared to violate his authority.

However, as the six saints successively attained enlightenment, this authority derived from the power of cultivation was passively challenged and shaken by the emergence of stronger cultivators:
All those below the saints are ants. Now there are six saints appearing in the prehistoric world. You, Dijun, are just a quasi-saint ant. Do you think your words are firm enough?
Obviously, not only did everyone think so, but Di Jun himself was probably also secretly worried. Not to mention that he was unable to sleep or eat, he was at least suspicious.

Basically everyone can imagine that when the Six Saints stay in the world, they will definitely override the power of Heaven. What is the attitude of the Six Saints towards Heaven?

Mostly not very good.

Especially this time, the two sects of Jie and Chan openly interfered in the internal affairs of the Heavenly Court and expelled the protagonist, the Heavenly Court official who managed the human race, which clearly exposed the inflated mentality of the two sects.

Perhaps Guangchengzi and his companions did not feel that they were offending the Heavenly Court. After all, before the secret of the human race's "protagonist of heaven and earth" was exposed to the public, no one except their saintly disciples who had opened their Dharma eyes would care too much about a new species. If they took over, they took over, and there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

But Di Jun obviously cared a lot.

What he cares about is probably not the human race itself. After all, he did not order the massacre of humans in this life, which means that he does not understand the human race this time.

What Di Jun cares about is that the attitude of the saints’ disciples towards the Heavenly Court has changed. Is this also what the saints mean?

The result of his thinking was to take advantage of the situation and strike hard at Kunlun Mountain... This was the result of Zhao Si substituting into the perspective of the Emperor of Heaven and simulating based on his own understanding. Although there might be deviations in the details, it was probably not far off.

"Anyway, the rise of a saint will definitely shake the status of the Heavenly Court. Rather than letting power be gradually seized and eventually leaving the stage in disgrace, it is better to strike back with a strong punch with the righteousness of the immortal way, and legitimately use power to suppress others."

"Among the Three Pure Ones, Taiqing was directly cut off, Yuqing was driven to the remote western land, and Shangqing also went to an island in the East China Sea. This shows that they dare not confront the heavy fist of the Heavenly Court. It's not that they can't beat them, but they are forced by the orthodox and righteous reputation of the Taoist Ancestor."

It is true that everyone below the saint is an ant, but I can't really go to war with the Heavenly Court under the name of "Rebel of the Immortal Path"...

In general, Di Jun's methods were good and the effect was very good. At least he smashed the two sects of Jie and Chan to pieces with one punch. His direct disciples were abolished, and his registered disciples lined up to go to the demon-slaying platform. It can be said that he returned to the time before liberation. He used his military achievements to declare to the ancient world that the Heavenly Court has not given up yet!
But there are negative effects, and they are huge, because now there are really two saints who are plotting to subvert the country...

"What a great self-destruction tactic."

Zhao Si shook his head, surprised by Di Jun's generosity.

[Can time go back and return to the previous life option? ]

"Yes."

【Time has gone back...】

[…Faced with the unknown visit of the Jiechan disciples, as the chief of the millions of human race, you choose: (?), please freely enter your strategy.]

It’s finally my turn to do it myself!

Zhao Si pondered for a moment:
"These guys came to me to discuss a deal. Most likely they want to gain merit from the human race. Anyway, they have the Merit Eye and they already know that the human race is the protagonist of the universe."

"On the specific question of how to talk, they should still want to see my attitude first. If I am as weak and vulnerable as before, they will directly drive me out and seize power. If I am too arrogant like the first time, they will directly take action."

Thinking of the few words in the simulated information just now, Zhao Si made a bold guess:
"These saintly disciples should have noticed the human race a long time ago, but I was doing so well here that they suspected that I knew something, so they carefully investigated me for a long time."

"You came just now, so you must have discovered that my background is ordinary, so you dare to show up. You want to test me in person and then decide how to treat me..."

Thinking about it carefully again, in the last round of simulation, Emperor Jun had to make things difficult for the human race, but in this round, Emperor Jun had been slow to pay attention to the human race. The variable that caused this butterfly effect could only be that he had served as the chief of the human race for seven hundred years in this round.

Therefore, in the last round of simulation, the reason why Di Jun issued the order to kill people so quickly was most likely because this group of saintly disciples smelled the scent and came here shortly after Nuwa created humans.

Because of their undisguised unusual movements among the human race, Emperor Jun discovered their purpose and chose to massacre the human race in order to fight against the saint.

"So, what should I do?"

Zhao Si began to ponder:
Should I make a deal with the saint's disciples?
