Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 238: Neither a Major Trend Nor an Incurable Disease of the Aristocratic Families

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Neither a Major Trend Nor an Incurable Disease of the Aristocratic Families

It wasn’t just the meteorites falling from the sky, the originally clear night had suddenly turned with flashes of lightning and bursts of thunder, heavy rain and winds came together, torrents of rain causing rivers to swell and drown over ten thousand men in Wang Mang’s fleeing army.

In the end, out of the 420,000-strong army, only a few thousand men escaped back to Luoyang.

The National Master, Wang Bodhisattva, also fled in panic, fearing more heavenly punishment upon himself.

Because he dared not manifest his supernatural power, he also was hit by a meteorite, which smashed him into the ground and inflicted serious injuries.

After escaping from Kunyang, National Master Wang Bodhisattva, seeing that Wang Mang’s army was nearly completely wiped out, could not help but sigh deeply, "Is it not heaven’s will to advance Buddhism?"

His use of Beast Taming Supernatural Power had caused such a great disturbance; clearly, this battle involved the fate of the dynasty, which warranted Heavenly Dao to mete out punishment.

Because the intervention of gods in the succession of the Human Race dynasties is forbidden by rules set by Ancestor Dao and with Heavenly Dao aligned with him, his rules are the will of Heavenly Dao.

But the issue was, advancing Buddhism was also a promise and compensation given by Ancestor Dao to the West.

Could it be that in the eyes of Ancestor Dao, advancing Buddhism is less important than the regular succession of human dynasties?

In recent years, by supporting Wang Mang and widely constructing Buddhist temples in the Southern Region of Asia, Buddhism had only just begun to spread and had the potential to flourish over time.

Now that Wang Mang’s army was nearly entirely obliterated, the fate of the dynasty was at its end.

One could imagine, with Liu Xiu’s measures against Buddhism, if he seized power, then the efforts of the Buddhist community over the years would be in vain.

This was obviously contrary to the heavenly decree to advance Buddhism.

National Master Wang Bodhisattva dared not delve deeper into these thoughts and hurried back to Chang’an, reporting the outcome of the battle at Kunyang to Jia Ye.

With a differential of 420,000 to 20,000 in troop strength, who could have anticipated this outcome beforehand?

Only Sun Wukong had known all along because a wise netizen had previously mentioned the Battle of Kunyang, describing Liu Xiu as the Son of Destiny, a Great Sorcerer.

Even so, seeing the battle first-hand, he still found it quite astonishing.

Meteors falling from the sky, lightning flashing, and storms brewing were not considered formidable divine skills for him.

But the anomalies just now were no simple matter and carried a vast heavenly majesty, clearly a punishment from Heavenly Dao, warning someone had broken the rules.

"Hmm..." Sun Wukong scratched his face thoughtfully.

National Master Wang Bodhisattva might think of these issues, and of course, he could too.

Compared to advancing Buddhism, the rules laid down by Ancestor Dao obviously took precedence, and even the members of the Buddha Sect could not use divine methods to interfere with the normal succession of human dynasties.

"Hehe, since that’s the case, the overall situation is set!" Sun Wukong’s lively eyes twinkled with divine light.

Liu Xiu taking over the realm was no longer an issue; what followed was upgrading agricultural civilization, establishing a City God system, and thus enhancing the Human Dao and Earth Dao!

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong felt he should still consult with the wise netizens to be surer.

Suddenly, his consciousness traveled through countless spatiotemporal barriers, ultimately stabilizing in a specific spacetime, connected to the wisdom platform, posting a question.

"I am Sun Wukong, under my guidance, Liu Xiu has grown faster than his originally destined life, having just won the Battle of Kunyang. May I ask the seniors what are your views on this battle? What should Liu Xiu be aware of after becoming the emperor?"

At the same time, he included the creation of the Red Han forces by Liu Xiu, the intervention of the powerful from the Buddha Sect that summoned heavenly punishment, and his recent speculations alongside the question.

Soon, many responses appeared.

Luan Yueyu: "The Great Sorcerer, Liu Xiu!"

Xiao Gong Gaga Strong: "Great, such resonance with mythology, brilliant!"

Chu Yuanlong: "The Great Sorcerer came like this? I thought it was Brother Monkey borrowing the divine power of Ziwei Great Emperor to summon the meteorite fall."

Yi Chuan: "Haha, interesting! It seems in the rules of Heavenly Dao, programming priorities differ. The Buddha Sect must be dumbfounded now; the Heavenly deity obviously favors the Human Race more."

Dimensional Door Locator: "Of course, the Human Race is currently the dominant force of the three realms, truly bearing the rise and fall of all."

"In a world declining with dwindling spiritual energy, Chan Teaching, Sect of Interception, Human Teaching, and Buddha Sect, which sect does not need the fervor of the Human Race?"

"Compared to them, advancing Buddhism is a minor force, the prosperity of the Human Race is the major force,"

"If the Buddha Sect wants to forcefully change the fortunes of the Human Race under the guise of advancing Buddhism, they are really stepping into a huge pit."

Embracing Rem and Ram’s Handsome Passerby: "What’s advancing Buddhism against, Ancestor Dao melded with Heavenly Dao, his rules are obviously the biggest.

"The Buddha Sect now interferes with the normal succession of the Human Race’s dynasty using divine methods, they’re just courting death.

"Playing the fool every day, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"Major and minor influences?" Sun Wukong pondered internally. The responses from these netizens were more detailed, giving him a deeper understanding of the rules governing Heavenly Dao.

He continued reading the subsequent responses.

Long Nian Mo Fu Tiao: "Liu Xiu was indeed born under an extraordinary destiny, apart from some difficulties in entrepreneurship, conquering the realm was entirely smooth sailing."

"Now with Wukong’s help, indeed, he will become emperor sooner than his original life planned, thus there’s even greater hope to fulfill the Human Dao."

Lauhua Suifeng: "Liu Xiu relied on the aristocracy to achieve success, and the aristocracy of the Eastern Han dynasty was visibly dominant, leaving a huge mess for future generations."

Journey Yanbei Gui: "I was actually against supporting Liu Xiu before, Wang Mang was much better, his reforms clearly aimed at providing land for the common people, establishing a utopian world."

Mine Zhe: "These emperors should not be judged as good or bad people but as incompetent, inept, wise, and emperors of the ages."

"Wang Mang may not be incompetent, but he definitely was inept."</p
