Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1342: Nine one two trouble

So many years have passed, and the reincarnated being of the Central Yellow Pole, Huang Jiao, has emerged and grown up. Not only does he possess the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, but he has also gathered quite a bit of the Human Race’s Fate by preaching.

His strength is not to be feared, just a Golden Immortal; with a single glance, Jiang Chen could doom him to neverending calamity. Yet the Human Race’s Fate on him acts like a talisman, preventing Human Race experts from easily assassinating him.

Killing Huang Jiao is easy, but once he is killed, the Human Race’s Fate on him would transform into a powerful backlash that would strike the one who acted. If it were only this, it still wouldn’t deter people from acting against Huang Jiao.

The most crucial aspect is that once Huang Jiao dies, this portion of Fate turned into backlash would disappear forever, never to return to the Human Race.

It is precisely this concern that even though many Human Race experts know Huang Jiao’s identity and wish for his death, they dare not make their move. He’s just a minor Huang Jiao; spending the Human Race’s Fate on him is truly not worth it.

The simplest way to assassinate Huang Jiao without harming the Human Race’s Fate is to ruin all his plans, defeat him, and thus seize the Fate of the Human Race and the Mystic Sect Fate that he has gathered.

Heavenly Dao is fair. If the Mystic Sect desires to usurp the Human Race’s Fate, how could they do so without paying a price? Since they want to enter the fray, they must pay an equivalent Fate to join the Human Race.

Win, and they’ll take away the Human Race’s Fate; lose, and they’ll leave their own Fate behind.

Just like the war during the Investiture of the Gods, to plunder the Human Fate, the Mystic Sect paid with the Fate of the Jiejiao Sect and the Chan Teaching; for every expert these teachings sent into the Human Race, a portion of their Fate would merge into the Human Race.

To put it bluntly, during the Zhou’s conquest over Shang, and on the cusp of claiming sovereignty over the world, the Human Race’s Fate could be said to be at its zenith, with almost all the Fate of both teachings blending into the Human Race’s Fate.

Regrettably, with the Investiture of the Gods enshrining various deities, such potent Fate was plundered immensely, which resulted in the prosperity of Heaven Court.

This was also the failure of the Ancestor God and King Wen’s plan; otherwise, had the two created the Investiture of Gods technique of the Heavenly Emperor, the enshrined Gods would have been of the Human Path.

At that point, not only would these Gods have no relation to Heaven Court, but also the Fate of the Jiejiao Sect and the Chan Teaching would have been completely refined by the Human Race, leading the Saints’ attempt to steal chickens only to lose their rice.

Rather than plundering the Human Race’s Fate, they would have lost their own, uniting both teachings’ power to forge the glory of the Human Race.

Alas, the plans of King Wen and the Ancestor God failed, resulting in the Human Race’s Fate being stolen and continuously declining to this day, each generation weaker than the last, no longer regaining the glory of Ancient Times.

However, even though the Human Race lost the battle of Investiture, in this war, the Human Race shall not lose. The Great Celestial Huang Jiao of the Central Yellow Pole is bound to fail, and the Mystic Sect shall undoubtedly be defeated.

No matter how much Fate they plundered from the Human Race in the past, after this battle, they must repay it twofold.

...

Giving Huang Jiao a profound glance, committing his features to memory, Jiang Chen continued speaking to Cang:

"You’ve seen the current situation in the Nine States yourself. That Mystic Sect demon, Huang Jiao, under the guise of religion, carries out misdeeds, trying to meddle with the Fate of our Human Race."

"The system I’m laying out now is specifically to counter him. The system is the most crucial part of the Divine Dao and is intimately related to the common people. I believe as soon as the system is introduced, it will immediately be accepted by the world."

"Huang Jiao collects followers by preaching, right? Watch me use the system to compete for believers and cut off the roots of his Yellow Heaven Dao."

"No matter how eloquently the Yellow Heaven Dao preaches, it’s not as easily accepted as the system. Acting in the name of religion without followers, he won’t be able to accomplish anything. Let’s see how he continues to gather the Human Race’s Fate."

In the midst of speaking, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. When it comes to gathering faith, even Buddhism Dao could not compare with the Divine Dao. As for the Mystic Sect, they stand even less of a chance.

The Mystic Sect advocates tranquility and freedom; if they couldn’t promise immortality, who would believe in them?

The reason Huang Jiao’s uprising has spread so quickly, reaching the lands of the four states in such a short time, is due to his numerous followers.

Yet among these followers, apart from his direct disciples who are comparatively devout and have unwavering faith in him, the rest are generally superficial followers, with faith that is far from steadfast.

At this moment, should a better faith emerge, they would easily switch allegiances, abandoning the Yellow Heaven Dao to become believers of the City God.

After all, the majority of the Yellow Turbans Army came from commoners, whose aspirations are nothing more than to live and settle down—utterly modest wishes. If they were not truly driven to desperation, why would they rise up?

And what they need, the City God can provide. If they need land, give them land; if they seek peace, grant them stability; the City God can bless them with favorable weather and protect them from demons and evil.

The needs of ancient commoners were low; as long as they had enough to eat, who would rebel without cause?

"So, the Ancestor God is to spread the Divine Dao at this moment, firmly seizing control over the Human Race’s faith, thus preventing any other power from using the Power of Faith to cause trouble?" Cang seemed to have understood and voiced his interpretation.

"That’s exactly right."

Jiang Chen nodded, affirming Cang’s statement. Faith is like public sentiment; if you do not actively occupy it, it will be taken by the enemy. And faith is extremely important.

Just like Huang Jiao’s Yellow Heaven Dao, simply with a few simple words, he stirred up the people’s hearts, causing great chaos across the land.
