Chapter 49: The Future Buddha Appears

  All the sages also knew that the demon tribe had begun to slaughter the human tribe, and the witch tribe had not shown up, and even many times they were pushing the waves and helping the flames. The situation on the vast land of Honghuang was becoming increasingly mysterious.

  Nothing in this world can truly escape the saints, Laozi as the master of human teachings, seeing the demon tribe slaughtering the human tribe, also knows that this is a rare opportunity to weaken the demon tribe.

  Under the saint, all are ants. Why can the witch and demon tribes make the saint so wary? The witch tribe bears the legacy of Pangu, and also has the Dutienshen array that can counter the saint, naturally no saint is willing to take the risk of bearing endless karma to kill the witch tribe.

  The demon tribe, in fact, since the day of its establishment, has basically included all the cultivators of the Primordial Chaos. The number of demons is countless, and relying on this huge number, the demon tribe also occupies the boundless aura of the Primordial Chaos. To put it bluntly, even killing Emperor Jun and Taiyi would be no big deal for them, as they are already enemies of all living beings in the Primordial Chaos. Even a powerful being like a Sage can't find a good way to deal with the witch demons, and can only try to weaken them bit by bit through calculations.

  After the emergence of the human race, the situation has greatly improved. The strong reproductive capacity of the human race made it a large ethnic group. With the blessing of the Heavenly Way, the human race took away a lot of aura from the Desolate Expanse, becoming a major ethnic group recognized by the Heavenly Way. When the demon clan killed humans, although the human clan was weak in strength, the countless deaths and injuries of the human clan made the operation of the Heavenly Way unfavorable to the demon clan. Simply put, the foundation of the demon clan has been shaken.

  Laozi's Three Purities is because of this, saw the opportunity to eliminate the demon tribe, can tolerate Emperor Jun's massacre of human tribes, and take a indifferent attitude towards it.

  The Westerners also clearly understood this matter, the guide had its own arrangement for the human race and knew that this great disaster was an indispensable opportunity for replacing the demon race, so there was no major action. Zhunti deeply understood the principle of not breaking or establishing, and also knew that it was a test for the human race, and did not hinder it.

  When Emperor Jun first started slaughtering the human race, he was still cautious, afraid of offending the Wu tribe and the various saints. But once he saw that no one came out to stop him, Emperor Jun's courage grew bigger and bigger, and the scale of slaughter continued to expand, from tens of millions to hundreds of millions to nearly a thousand million.

  Di Jun collected countless human souls, starting to refine the treasure, and many demons also secretly left behind a large number of human souls for their own use in refining treasures. This became the beginning of evil cultivators using living people to cultivate treasures, causing endless calamities.

  More and more humans were being slaughtered, and the human high-level also had a understanding. The three ancestors of the human race personally organized the human monks to fight back desperately, but the effect was minimal. The three ancestors of the human race barely reached the level of Daluo Jinxian, and compared with those old-brand Daluos in the demon clan, they were still far from enough. If it weren't for the three ancestors having great merits, they would have fallen long ago.

  Countless humans fled their homes to avoid slaughter, hiding in all directions. Humans also sought support from the witch tribe, but the witch tribe took no action and ignored them, even recalling the witches stationed among humans. The human tribe fell into an extremely precarious situation.

  Of course, there are also people who lend a helping hand to the human race, such as Zhenyuanzi of Wuzhuangguan, who has taken in quite a few humans.

  Zhenyuanzi was extremely dissatisfied with the death of Hongyun, and as a result, he took in the human tribe, not caring about offending Emperor Jun.

  Zhenyuanzi was revered by humans after his death, in charge of the Dixian realm, and became one of the few pre-heavenly great gods who had a good ending, which is also due to this point of virtue and benevolence.

  In addition, the great shaman Hou Yi also protected many human tribes. Originally, Hou Yi was a great shaman of the Houtu tribe, with a kind and gentle nature, treating people with courtesy. Although Hou Yi was a great shaman, he was not as bellicose as other shamans, especially after the death of Houtu, when Chi You, Yu Shi, Xiang Liu and others took control of the tribe, disagreeing with Hou Yi's views. In a fit of anger, Hou Yi hid among the human tribes, rarely managing shamanic affairs, and increasingly liking the way humans lived, gradually becoming like one family with them, indistinguishable from each other.

  Hou Yi was still highly respected among the surrounding tribes, and many tribal youths came to him for instruction in archery. Hou Yi was also willing to teach these young people, and over time, he found it increasingly difficult to distinguish himself from the others.

  At this time, the demon tribe slaughtered the human tribe, and Hou Yi relied on his cultivation as a great witch doctor, as well as the Shocking Heaven Divine Bow and the Shooting Sun Divine Arrow in his hand, to kill several demon gods and protect the safety of the human tribe.

  However, these were just local small situations that could not change the overall situation of the human tribe being slaughtered. Emperor Jun and the demon clan's ambition continued to expand, and all the demons wanted to refine magic treasures to deal with the true body of the witch tribe, no longer satisfied with the small-scale slaughter of the human tribe. The major demon gods, together with their subordinates, surrounded and killed the human tribe from the edge of the vast wilderness to the center.

  The vast expanse was covered in blood, but this time it was the human race that had perished. The heavens turned, how heartless they were. Yet it was precisely this heartlessness that gave all living things space to survive. But where could the hundreds of billions of vengeful spirits of the human race go to seek justice?

  Xie Yin stood on Mount Xumi, observing the great calamity unfolding before her. Her heart was stirred by a faint sense of unease. Was it the fault of the demon tribe, the witch tribe, or the saints? Or perhaps it was the human tribe that had erred? Alternatively, could it be that the heavenly laws governing the universe were flawed? Why did the cycles of catastrophe in the vast expanse of the heavens never cease? What guilt did all living beings bear?

  An idea has been growing wildly in my mind since Pangu created the sky, the way this vast and wild world operates is wrong. The Way of Heaven reduces what is excessive and supplements what is insufficient, while the Way of Man reduces what is insufficient to serve what is excessive.

  Whether it's the way of heaven or the way of man, neither can avoid struggle and killing, life and death, rise and fall. Why is there no pure land that can truly allow all living beings to forever escape this cycle of sin?

  An idea gradually formed in my mind, the road is long and arduous, I don't even know if I can succeed in the end, but it's worth trying to pursue.

  The brutal slaughter is still ongoing, and the various demon tribes have gradually gathered near Mount Buzhou, the birthplace of humanity. Tens of billions of humans are concentrated here, accounting for more than half of the surviving human population. Moreover, almost all cultivators among humans have been slaughtered, and now it's just a matter of time before the demons completely annihilate humanity.

  Di Jun slaughtered the human tribe on a large scale, and unexpectedly felt that his own aura increased significantly, and his cultivation also made progress. In fact, Di Jun did not notice how much karma the demon clan had accumulated on its back. If the vast wilderness only left the demon clan, it would not be fatal, but now this situation is enough to make the demon clan never recover. Later, it will be several times more difficult for the demon class to pass through the heavenly tribulation than the human tribe, and it's not just that simple that the human tribe is favored by the Heavenly Dao.

  However, the accumulated merits of Emperor Jun were becoming less and less in the midst of slaughter, making it difficult for him to protect himself. Gradually, he was bewildered by the evil energy of the great calamity and walked on a path of no return.

  The three ancestors of the human race, along with other key figures, gathered in the ancestral hall, where they worshiped the Holy Mother Nüwa and the founder Laozi. The atmosphere inside the hall was extremely oppressive, with everyone's brows furrowed, unable to think of a solution.

  The human tribe repeatedly burned incense and prayed, begging Nuwa and Laozi as well as all the saints to appear and protect the human tribe. However, it had no effect at all. The witch tribe not only did not help the human tribe but also fell into the well and threw stones, secretly abducting many people of the human tribe.

  This spread a kind of desperate atmosphere throughout the human race, for humans were insignificant ants in the vast wilderness, who could be trampled by anyone. Yet, humans were like stubborn wild grass, constantly reproducing and thriving, developing to this day. Was it not possible for the human race to avoid extinction?

  Every ethnic group has such doubts in their hearts, what did the human race do wrong to suffer such a disaster, why are the Holy Mother and saints so ruthless that they cannot appear to help the human race, then what is the use of worshiping you.

  Suirenshi's coarse big hand slapped his thigh heavily.

  "Our clan, no one asks for anything, relying solely on these two hands, we fight against the demon clan. Even if we die, we'll die standing up. We want to let them know that even ants won't be slaughtered without putting up a fight, and they will have to pay the price."

  The words of the Lord of Fire stirred up the blood of the human tribe, and they all raised their arms and shouted loudly, wanting to fight a bloody battle with the demon tribe until death. This tragic atmosphere enveloped the entire human tribe, from top to bottom, taking out the best wine, roasting delicious wild beasts, feasting on war rations, waiting only to fight to the death with the demon tribe. The sorrowful songs and mournful howls filled the sky and earth.

  Many of the demon clan's cultivators, upon hearing the human tribe's voice and sensing that fearless aura, couldn't help but feel a hint of fear, as if the ants in front of them could truly threaten themselves. The demons who had such thoughts found it laughable; after all, even the most powerful humans were only at the Mahayana realm, while two demon emperors were present - how could they not emerge victorious?

  Not attacking humans now is just letting them have their last meal, which perfectly shows the demon emperor's benevolence.

  The three ancestors of humanity led their subordinates on an inspection tour of the human camp, encouraging every warrior and firming up their determination to fight to the end.

  Xī Yī's heart was relatively delicate, and he had a faint idea in his mind that he couldn't shake off. As he patrolled, he suddenly thought of something. Xī Yī didn't care about appearances and quickly rushed into the ancestral hall, taking out an object from a small room inside. It just so happened that Náo Shì and Suì Rén Shì had also arrived, and as soon as they saw the object, they remembered that when the human tribe was first created, a Taoist priest had given it to the three of them.

  Doesn't the Taoist priest say that it should be taken out at the most critical moment for mankind, able to protect the tribe and avoid disaster? Isn't this exactly such a moment now?

  Xuanyi took out the items, holding them in his hands. The twelve Qinglian, each as large as a dou, emitted soft and gentle green light. The Qinglian slowly rose into the air, and the green light enveloped the human settlement. Every time the green light swept over the humans, their pain and fatigue disappeared. Finally, the Qinglian flew to mid-air, and the massive light screen protected the entire human tribe within it.

  Di Jun Tai Yi suddenly became aware of the anomaly in the human tribe, and upon closer inspection, he saw a massive light shield enveloping the human tribe. A gigantic green lotus, unmatched in size, protected the entire human tribe. Di Jun's heart was filled with alarm - this green lotus was actually an extreme-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, unparalleled in defense. How did it inexplicably appear in the hands of the human tribe?

  It's as if some great power wants to help humanity, but it doesn't seem like it, and I'm at a loss for what to do.

  At this time, the three purities of Mount Xumi, including Nüwa, were discussing the Tao with Zhu Ti. In fact, this was mainly led by the Three Purities. Laozi was afraid that a saint would intervene and disrupt the demon tribe's slaughter of the human tribe, affecting his own plans. After all, it concerned the struggle for the main position in heaven and earth, and could not be taken lightly. Laozi was actually not afraid that the human tribe would remember this Teaching Master with hatred, after all, he had seen the cycle of life and death of the human tribe, and as long as there was enough time, everything could be forgotten or even altered.

  So Laozi brought the original Tongtian and invited Nüwa out, the four saints personally blocked the door, came to Mount Sumeru, and stopped the two saints from the west. It's not that Laozi thought that Jieyin would definitely make a move, but it was just that all the saints being together could avoid unexpected situations. As soon as the discussion began, Laozi knew he might have miscalculated. At the sight of the green lotus suspended in mid-air, Laozi's face looked extremely ugly.
