Chapter 189 confrontation
There have been countless stories about the Battle of the Gods in the next thousands of years.
However, it is obvious that although these stories are diverse and different, no matter which story, the protagonists of the story are not the originally opposed Emperor Xin of Shang Zhou and Ji Chang of Xibo, but those capable people who shine in the two camps respectively.
Jiang Ziya, Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, Huang Feihu...
Shen Gongbao, Wen Zhong, Kong Xuan, Zhao Gongming, and the four generals of the Demon Family...
Of course, there is also what Zhulong mentioned just now, the leader of the Three Realms, the 365th Qingfu Zhengshen, and Bai Jian.
Whether good or evil, whether good or evil, it is precisely these mythological figures that we are familiar with since childhood that form the colorful battle of the gods that we have been thinking about thousands of years later.
Now it seems that these people we have known since childhood should be the capable people and strangers mentioned by Zhulong.
But if according to Zhulong, Luohu looked at these powerful strangers and wanted to bewitch them with his inner demons and let them join Di Xin's camp, then in the stories we know, what happened to those capable and strangers who joined Ji Chang's command?
Could it be that these people felt the extraordinaryness of the war and decided to join the battle situation and use their own strength to change the pattern of China?
Or, is it possible that the legendary Xibo Hou Jichang actually has the same ability as Luohu, and he can also use his inner demon to deceive people for his own use?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh.
Because my guesses now are too incredible, even I can't believe it.
The first loophole in guessing is because of human nature and logic.
The old saying goes well, it’s okay to do something, and you can hold it high. Everyone cleans up the snow in front of the door and don’t worry about the frost on others.
Although these two sentences appeared in later generations, there is no doubt that the meaning of these two sentences was effective for practitioners in ancient times.
After the spiritual energy was exhausted, there were no more immortals in the land of China. These few powerful people and strangers were already the most powerful beings in this world. Because of their strength, in the end, no matter who owns the world, this person will treat them with courtesy and will not act like an emperor at all.
Because of this, it is not important for these capable people to win this war. Since no one has to treat them with courtesy, they will naturally only focus on practicing Taoism and will not care about secular power entanglements.
Even if these people are really upright in their hearts, in order to maintain the peace of China, they want to help the righteous army win the world, but they also lack an opportunity to understand them.
There is no doubt that Luohu's inner demon power is extremely hidden, and even the immortals in the mythical age cannot detect Luohu's inner demon power. So how could these so-called powerful people and strangers see that it is strange?
So, my first guess is undoubtedly invalid. No matter from which perspective, these people have no reason to take the initiative to join Xiqi.
The reason why I denied my second guess was actually because of logical contradictions.
The reason why Luohu was able to deceive others was because he was known as the Demon Ancestor. Since Luohu was the ancestor of all demons, the power of the inner demon was used by him and did not need any help from other media at all.
However, it is not that simple for others except Luohu to use the power of the inner demon. Perhaps before this person fully grasps the power of the inner demon, he will be backfired by the power of the inner demon and become a sane person without wisdom.
Even though Ji Chang was gifted and really got involved in the power of the inner demon through some means and successfully mastered it, logically speaking, this is still not a reasonable explanation.
The power of the inner demon is Luohu's exclusive ability. No matter who wants to master it, he must be recognized by Luohu. Otherwise, even if this person's cultivation level is so great and has reached the level of Dayu and Donghuang, it is absolutely impossible for him to master the slightest power of the inner demon.
That means that if Ji Chang really masters the power of the inner demon, it means that he has been recognized by Luohu and must be in the same camp as Luohu.
But if he thought about this logic, if Ji Chang was really in the same camp as Luohu, then he would never be able to raise an army to defeat Zhou and lead his soldiers and capable people to overthrow the rule of Emperor Xin. This is completely contrary to Luohu's plan.
Because of this, I am extremely sure that Ji Chang and Ji Fa, who eventually overthrew Emperor Xin's rule, must have not been recognized by Luohu. In this case, those capable people and strangers would never have defected to Ji Chang's command because they were bewitched, but for another reason.
After thinking about this, everything became clear.
Since we already know that the powerful strangers in the Di Xin camp were bewitched by Luohu's inner demons, what we have to think about now is the real reason why the other powerful strangers defect to Xiqi.
Since these capable people and strangers have no reason to join Xiqi, and Xibo Hou Jichang has no way to let these capable people and strangers defect to him, does that mean that there is another existence in secret and silently manipulating everything?
If I was not wrong, it was under the manipulation of this person that the remaining talented people and strangers would defect to Xiqi and come to Ji Chang's command to exert their strength. It is precisely because of their help that Ji Chang's son, King Wu, Ji Fa, could finally defeat Emperor Xin, overthrow the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty.
After carefully recalling what Zhulong said before, I quickly had two general candidates about the true identity of the person behind the scenes.
The two candidates I thought of were Chiyou and Bai Jian, who were guarding the human race and guarding the country.
There is no doubt that Luohu will definitely not be picky. He must have wanted all the capable and strangers to join King Zhou, but in the end only part of them joined the Shang Dynasty, which proves that the people behind the scenes seem to have some ability to fight against him.
Moreover, if these talented strangers are bewitched by Luohu after arriving in Xiqi, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Ji Chang. Since the person behind the scenes dares to let these talented strangers defect to Ji Chang, it proves that this person must have a way to resist the inner demons.
We already know that although Chi You and Bai Jian cannot compare with Luohu in terms of cultivation, they both experienced Luohu's instigation of the inner demons, and later they lost the demonic nature of the body by Dayu.
