Whether in the center of the Heavenly Court or at the grassroots level, Houtu advocated the unity of rights and responsibilities and responsibilities, mainly because during the Emperor Jun period, most monks worked in the Heavenly Court, but were perfunctory and falsely responded to the story. Because there were often many immortal officials and priests in various yamen, in the middle and late periods of Emperor Jun's rule, a few people worked hard and most were scattered.

Di Jun did not interfere in this situation, because his ruling philosophy was that if the law was not prohibited, it would not be corrected. However, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the priesthood of the Heavenly Court, Di Jun increased the welfare of those priest monks who worked hard and gave heavy rewards.

Therefore, the priest monks in the Heavenly Court were divided into two categories. Most of the priest monks mainly spent their days in the Heavenly Court. In order to obtain merits and benefits, some priest monks worked hard.

Therefore, the monks of the prehistoric world gradually divided into two sects, the world-entry sect and the world-renowned sect.

The patriarchs of the worldly sects practice in this way, because of the benefits of the heavenly court and the convenience of power, the worldly sects often form huge sects and families in later generations.

The transcendent sect focuses more on personal practice and becomes a powerful casual cultivator.

Of course, this is a later story.

Houtu was in power to change the situation of the people in the heavenly court during the Emperor Jun period. Of course, Houtu was also very sensible for those monks who were reluctant to become officials but were forced to enter the heavenly court.

Those who are willing to enter the Heavenly Court must do their work seriously and enjoy the benefits of the Heavenly Court and the merits brought by the clergy. If you are unwilling to join the Heavenly Court, Houtu will not force you, but you must not be enemies with the Heavenly Court, especially the priest monks of the Heavenly Court.

Once Houtu’s policy was promulgated, the priest monks from the Heavenly Court went to seven or eight.

First, it is indeed many monks who are willing to go to seclusion and practice rather than manage common affairs. Second, Houtu takes over, which makes many monks of the demon clan dissatisfied. They withdraw from the Heavenly Court, and they have the idea of ​​embarrassing Houtu.

Houtu didn't care. In his opinion, it was useless for those monks who occupied the position of the Heavenly Court but did not do anything to stay. On the contrary, when the priesthood of the Heavenly Court decreased, each priesthood monk would get more merits. Moreover, because Houtu became the Jade Emperor, the witch clan entered the Heavenly Court in large quantities and also supplemented some of the manpower for the Heavenly Court.

Of course, most of the monks who have left the job are at the Taiyi realm and below. There are basically no high-level monks like Daluo Quasi-saint who have left the job.

Because the status of Daluo and the quasi-saints is high, even if they work in the Heavenly Court, they are still second and third ranks of noble positions, and even if they have ordinary affairs, they can be handed over to their descendants to take care of them.

Moreover, the high-level monks of the demon clan stayed in the Heavenly Court to check and balance Houtu, so as not to formulate some heavenly rules that were not conducive to the demon clan.

Of course, there are also powerful demon clans who are not convinced by Houtu. For example, the four newly acquired quasi-saints of the demon clan, Qiongqi, Taotie, Huantun, and Yawu resigned from their priesthood in the Heavenly Court.

Among the four, Qiongqi was just independent. Although he did not obey the Heavenly Court, he did not become enemies with the Heavenly Court. However, the three quasi-saints of Zhiwu, Taotie and Chaos, led nearly dozens of demon clan Daluo, and directly raised the banner against the Heavenly Court to become enemies with the Heavenly Court.

This is the first time since the founding of the Heavenly Court, a force that has clearly opposed the Heavenly Court has appeared in the prehistoric world.

Faced with this situation, Houtu first summoned the demon clan's quasi-saint to negotiate.

The quasi-saints of the demon clan said that the behavior of the three men, including Jue Wu and his subordinates, was their spontaneous behavior and had nothing to do with the demon clan, and the demon clan did not support their behavior.

Houtu knew that this was intentional by the demon clan. The demon clan deliberately released Qiongqi and four others to make trouble for Houtu. More importantly, it was to disperse her energy so that she could not control the prehistoric world and the prehistoric world with peace of mind. Houtu would not be able to obtain a lot of merit and break through the Hunyuan.

After thinking for a long time, Houtu decided to attack the three quasi-saints and maintain the authority of the Heavenly Court.

Although the demon clan did not object on the surface, he kept pulling Houtu's hind legs.

Because Fuxi destroyed Yuanshi's foundation of wisdom, he knew that he could not escape Yuanshi's revenge, so he decided to take advantage of the time that he still had to serve as the military advisor behind this confrontation against Houtu and the Wu clan heavenly court.

Under Fuxi's command, some demon clan Daluo directly claimed that they were both of the demon clan and could not bear to be killed by the same clan, so they refused to recruit Houtu, but secretly continued to deliver elixirs, magic weapons and other materials to the forces of the three quasi-saints.

There are also Daluo, the demon clan, who obey Houtu's dispatch and sent large troops to conquer, but in fact they did not work hard. There were often hundreds of thousands of elite demon soldiers attacking, but they could not fight for a long time. However, in fact, there were only a few little demons in the defenders, and some even secretly sent military intelligence to reveal the deployment of the witch army.

Houtu was mentally prepared for this, so most of the demon clan troops were only responsible for some scraps of materials, and the task of pursuing the Three Saints was mainly based on the power of the witch clan.

However, the demon clan was determined to embarrass Houtu, and the methods used became more and more excessive.

On several occasions, some of the army of Taotie and other three saints were about to be killed by the Witch Clan. At this time, the demon army suddenly joined the war and then "forced to surrender" to the enemy. When the crisis was lifted, the surrendered army rebelled again, causing the efforts of the Witch Clan to be wiped out.

After being tortured by Zhurong, the marshal of the Witch Clan and the ancestor of Fire, was tortured several times, he had to force the demon army to not participate in the war.

However, when the Witch Clan gained the upper hand again, some of the demon clan's Daluo directly rebelled in front of the formation, joined the Three Saints' command, and raided the Witch Clan's army, causing heavy losses to the Witch Clan.

Some generals of the witch clan were angry and had committed acts of refusing to surrender and killing prisoners. This was also an excuse by the demon clan. In the name of God's favoritism, Houtu forced Houtu to allow the demon clan to send military supervisors to the witch clan army to strictly investigate military discipline and impose severe punishment on the witch clan who violated the rules of heaven. For this reason, two great witches were even forced by the demon clan to execute him.

Finally, even the stupidest witch clan could see that the so-called rebellious three quasi-saints of the demon clan were actually puppets sent by the demon clan to fight the witch clan, and to fight against the three saints, which was actually to fight against the entire demon clan.

However, the Witch Clan was already in a difficult situation, so they had to constantly mobilize their troops to fight against the Three Saints. The strength that the Witch Clan had accumulated for many years was slowly consumed, and the demon clan actually paid a lot of money. When the rebellion of the Three Saints of the Demon Clan was quelled, the two Lich clans had more than 200 people who fell from the war, and there were countless people below the Daluo.

During the war, the hatred between the two tribes became deeper and deeper, laying the root of the disaster for the final lich disaster.

Therefore, later generations generally believed that the war between several quasi-saints such as Taotie and the Witch Clan Heaven, which lasted hundreds of catastrophes, opened the prelude to the lich tribulation.

In fact, in this preface war between the witch clan and the demon clan, the most tragic thing was the weak human race. Both sides of the war, especially the three Taotie saints, recruited a large number of human races to build fortifications for them, and countless human races died in the fire of war.

Because the Lich tribulation caused the demon clan to lose its position as the protagonist of the world and become a supporting role in the prehistoric world. The demon clan who did not know the truth in later generations hated the four demon clans, including Taotie, who triggered the Lich tribulation, to the core. Therefore, the people in later generations, the demon clans called Qiongqi, Taotie, Huantun, and Baiwu, were the four ancient ferocious beasts.

On Kunlun Mountain, the three pure people sit together.

Tongtian, who was watching the war, saw countless creatures being slaughtered, felt unbearable and said to Yuanshi: "Second brother, otherwise, you should come forward to stop this war."

Yuanshi shook his head and said, "Third brother, look at the world of heaven and earth, how many creatures are there?"

Tongtian was stunned and said for some reason, "The number of creatures in the prehistoric world is now countless, at least as many as tens of trillions."

Yuanshi said: "Yes, there are so many creatures in the prehistoric world. So, at every moment, are there many creatures who die in the dead? Or are there many creatures who die in the war because the three saints of the demon clan rebelled against the Heavenly Court?"

Tongtian was stunned and said, "Ordinary wild beasts and human races have only a lifetime of dozens of years. Low-level cultivators in Qi Realm have a maximum lifespan of only a few hundred years. In this way, every moment, the number of creatures who die at the end of their lives is at least a thousand times that of creatures who die in the fire of war."

"So what is the difference between dying from life span and dying from war?" Yuan Shi asked.

Tongtian didn't say anything, and he was stopped by Yuanshi. Since they were all dead, what's the difference between dying from war and dying down?

At this moment, Tongtian was a little confused and fell into deep thought.

Tongtian thought for three thousand years. Yuanshi and Taishang did not disturb Tongtian, and they were also thinking each other.

"No, there is a difference." Tongtian finally figured it out: "After dying, this kind of death is happy, without regrets, and dying in the fire of war is not the wish of the creatures themselves. Those who practice the great way should benefit the people so that they can escape disasters and survive happily, rather than bringing disasters to them."

After Tongtian finished speaking, he stood up and bowed respectfully to Yuanshi: "Thank you for enlightenment, I finally understand."

Tongtian's body dissipated, leaving only one sentence: "Big brother, second brother, I want to enter the world, save the people and help the people in the world to seize that glimmer of life."

Looking at the dissipated figure of the sky, Yuanshi said to himself: "Third brother, you are imposing your thoughts on the people of heaven and earth, but is it necessary to be happy to die in a state of mind? There are so many creatures in the world, different ideas and different pursuits. The creatures who die in a state of mind may not be happy, and the creatures who die in war may not be painful. What is their happiness? Maybe they themselves don't know, and what we have to do is to explain the truth to them and let them understand what they really need!"

The Supreme Master looked at Yuanshi and did not speak. In his opinion, Yuanshi's words were indeed reasonable, but his actions to heaven were not wrong. In fact, both of them were following their own great principles and concepts. As long as they could firmly uphold the minds of Tao and not violate the (inaction) great ways. And the heavens have the virtue of living, and the war between the two lich monks caused disasters to countless ordinary human races. It is really pitiful. It is better to rescue the human race.

The war between the witch clan and the four ancient evil spirits was much smaller in scale than the war between gods and demons and dragons and phoenix tribulations, but due to the emergence of human race and wild beasts, the number of creatures affected by the war far exceeded that of the previous two wars.
