In the middle ages, there was internal strife in the Taoist sect, and the dispute over interpretation was in full swing. The big bosses were concerned about their dignity, and the pawns below were fighting into a sea of blood and corpses.
With the promotion of the human race as the authentic religion and the rejection of aliens, the explanatory religion became a prominent religion, and the human race officially became the masters of the heaven and earth and all spirits. This pattern continues to this day.
Moreover, as time went by, the trend not only did not reverse, but became more and more obvious. The human race alone surpassed the sum of hundreds of races.
The Taoist Scriptures say: Misfortunes lie on the back of blessings, and blessings lie on the backs of misfortunes.
The human race is powerful, which is a good thing for the human race. At least they don't have to worry about being regarded as meat by the demon race like in ancient times and ancient times. Now, the demon race has to worry that they may be exterminated by the human race, and they will be miserable. Three
Ten years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, nothing better than this.
However, as the Taoist Scriptures say, a strong human race is not entirely a good thing.
According to the analysis of the theory of contradiction, when external contradictions calm down, internal contradictions that were not obvious in the past will suddenly break out and become the main contradiction.
Whether it is the demon clan, the witch clan, or other demon clans, they can no longer stop the rise of the human race. The human race has no opponents. Then, he himself is his own opponent.
In a word, the human race began to divide, unity was no longer there, internal strife emerged, and became more and more intense.
The root cause of this result is actually the deep-seated contradiction in Taoism. When the saints passed down the Taoism, this contradiction already existed. Unless the way of inheritance of Taoism is changed, it is impossible to change it.
Whether it is explaining the teachings, intercepting the teachings, or even the demon clan and the shaman clan, they all attach great importance to the qualifications of the successors, and this is where the problem lies.
Whether you admit it or not, the world is in the form of a pyramid. People with good qualifications and those who are suitable for cultivation are just some of the people at the top of the pyramid. The vast majority of people, no matter how hard they practice, cannot even get started.
There is nothing surprising, the world is so big, the resources are fixed, and the immortal way seeks from the heaven and the earth, it can be called a predatory plague existence.
If everyone in a world enters the path of immortality, then it is conceivable that sooner or later, this world will become a world with no spiritual energy.
As more people enter the immortal path, both natural and human tribulations (also known as demonic tribulations) will become very frequent. Eventually, with a series of killings, the overloaded world will get back on track. It doesn't matter.
Good and evil.
Otherwise, the world will sink into ruins. This is a cyclic process, so that the saying that some worlds have a small evil catastrophe every hundred years and a big evil catastrophe every thousand years is not groundless.
Returning to the issue of qualifications, the intergenerational inheritance of immortality qualifications is particularly obvious. If an ancestor enters the immortality, then there is a high probability that the descendants will also be qualified to practice. Moreover, with the accumulation of their predecessors, their descendants will be able to cultivate along the way.
Entering the country is also more convenient and faster than others.
The result is that the world is becoming more and more polarized, with the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker. A polarized world is destined not to last forever.
The way of heaven is to destroy the surplus and nourish the insufficient; the way of man is to destroy the insufficient but to provide the surplus.
Heaven and man are in opposition, strong people follow the way of humanity, and weak people follow the way of heaven. It has nothing to do with good or evil, but it is just about one's own background. This background includes qualifications, family background, etc.
One of the promised escapes is to give the world a way out. In a world where only qualifications matter, is it possible that people with poor qualifications will be slaves and maids all their lives, with no chance of turning over?
Obviously, humans, as the spirits of all things, should not be underestimated even if they are not qualified to practice Taoism. A new avenue and a new system were built, and humanity followed the trend.
In fact, there are many interpretations of human nature. The human nature mentioned before in the struggle between heaven and man is the most broad, it refers to selfishness, and it has nothing to do with whether it is a human race or not;
There is also the term humanity from the perspective of race. This humanity refers to the continuous destiny of the human race, sometimes also called human destiny.
There are also meanings such as reproduction and reproduction. Trust me, you don’t want to hear the news from a doctor that you are not humane. I don’t know if this statement comes from the fact that human beings are good at reproduction.
And the human way that we talk about is opposite to the immortal way, sometimes it is also called the human emperor's way. The immortal way seeks to transcend the world and only cares about itself, while the human emperor's way seeks the survival of the people and the prosperity and strength of the country.
The former represents the interests of some people at the top of the pyramid, but the latter truly represents the vital interests of the vast majority of human beings at the bottom. Who wants to be born to worship immortals and openly say that my destiny is not up to me, is it good?
As a result, it is not difficult to imagine that as soon as the Way of the Human Emperor appeared, it immediately became a spectacle and swept across the heavens. Although it is still unable to be compared with the Immortal Way, with the addition of the Divine Way that is between the Immortal Way and the Human Way, the two ways of humans and gods are compared with the Immortal Way.
First, it’s hard to say how much advantage the Immortal Way really has.
In fact, this is also the current situation of most realms. The reason why the vast realm seems a little different is that you can guess a thing or two from the name of the realm from now on.
The world is vast, the world is vast, and it is a wilderness. When the Dao Sect entered this world, it was still a world of monsters. After tens of thousands of years of attacks, there are still water tribes, and the human race is far from being the only one.
All in all, the external contradictions have not been eliminated, and the internal contradictions have not been elevated to the main contradiction for a while. Coupled with a series of Taoist methods, humanity and Shinto have no room to rise. (After realizing the author’s intention in naming the name, deduct 1

Analyze specific issues in detail and do not apply mechanically.
In fact, the division within the human race was the most noteworthy thing in the Middle Ages. It had already begun to take shape at that time. If the Taoist sect paid attention to it, it would not be so embarrassing in modern times.
However, the debate over interpretation at that time was so dazzling that it obscured the undercurrent surging underneath.
The Western Buddhism, which expounded the teachings and determined the heavens, thought that it had no rivals. However, Western Buddhism, which saw the tendency of human race to divide, united the two paths of gods and humans and prospered the Buddhist kingdom.
Mahayana Buddhism, which aims to save all sentient beings, is extremely prosperous in the mortal world. Many Buddhist protectors have come and been involved in the endless stream of people's wishes. In recent times, they gave Taoism a hard slap in the face. A large number of Taoist immortals joined Buddhism in the interpretation dispute.
Buddhism took the lead.
Of course, later on, the Taoist sect also resorted to small means to create Hinayana Buddhism, which divided the powerful and glorious Buddhism into two, greatly reducing the threat. There were repeated disputes over interpretation.
Now, the balance of power is basically present, and no one has the ability to defeat the other. After the interpretation battle, there are many disasters in the heavens, but there is no such thing as such a huge one.
