The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1960: Chapter 1906-1907: Postwar Analysis: Clouds of Suspicion

Reviewing the past, sometimes you can discover many overlooked details.

Initially, a few people did not gather together but cooperated through tacit understanding; the transmission of messages was also somewhat delayed, so everyone might have intentionally or unintentionally overlooked something.

But today, when everyone really gathered together and once again spoke about the original plan, they found that many things did not completely match up.

“Yes, at first, we didn’t think much of it. But now thinking back, it seems like even when we were plotting this plan ourselves, we intentionally or unintentionally ignored this point, as if there was no need to worry. Everything just fell into place so naturally.” The Vajra Sect Leader also frowned, recalling the previous matters.

There seemed to be nothing unusual initially, but now it seemed very strange; looking back at their plan, there were quite a few loopholes and shortcomings.

Yet it felt as if there was an invisible hand guiding them forward, helping them to fill in the gaps, just to ensure they could successfully complete this plan.

The few of them exchanged glances, each seemingly guessing something, and chills ran down their spines.

“It seems there are many who are dissatisfied with the Buddhism School, all wanting to use our hands to deal with the Buddhism School, and bleed it dry.”

“Over the years, the rise of the Buddhism School has offended countless people, encroaching on the interests of many forces and strong individuals, who simply did not have the strength to retaliate and thus held onto their grievances. Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally don’t mind taking action, especially since we are the ones at the forefront.”

“It may not necessarily be dissatisfaction or grudges. Sometimes one is simply guilty for possessing something valuable; the Buddhism School itself holds massive interests, and they are major participants in these vested interests. Now there’s a chance, and naturally, some want to trip them up.”

“Indeed, the Buddhism School is too overbearing, consuming all the benefits without leaving a shred for others. Moreover, this time they proactively jumped out, someone naturally goes with the flow.”

“Benefits are limited; for many experts, they want to break the current order and redistribute benefits, and eventually, they’ll bump into the Buddhism School; this is just a probe.”

After a little thought, they understood all the logic and reasons behind this, and the reason their operation went so smoothly this time was not only because they dared to go all in but also due to the backing of some forces and strong individuals.

The Shenxiao Sect and Xuantian Sect directly supported through Bai Xiaosheng Organization, not to mention, and some top immortal sects and even Taoist Monarchs acted behind the scenes to cover for them.

The current pervading undercurrents in the world are nothing more than the many experts viewing the division of interests as unfair; numerous newly ascended Dao Lords and new top immortal sects believe they get too few benefits and want more resources.

Under the old rules, those occupying many interests and resources are their obstacles; unless they defeat these people, their demands cannot be met, nor can the benefits be redivided.

However, these old vested interest holders are too strong and too many; deciding who to start with without causing a chain reaction or massive resistance is the problem many experts have been pondering.

For so many years, the ambition of the newly ascended Dao Lord Alliance and various parties has been known to all, yet they haven’t acted due to these very concerns.

There are indeed contradictions between the veteran Daoist Monarchs and those with vested interests, but when suppressing newcomers to safeguard their interests, they are united; no one wants to be the one doing the dirty work, becoming a pawn.

Now the Buddhism School steps forward on its own initiative to attack the large immortal sects, giving all Dao Lords and forces a glimpse of an opportunity, something that can serve as a breakthrough.

Especially when news spread from the Bai Xiaosheng Organization that the Shenxiao Sect and Xuantian Sect were selling warships and warship technology to the Heterodox Alliance, even sending Divine Craftsmen to help in forging warships, it solidified their thoughts further.

Perhaps from the Shenxiao Sect’s standpoint, they merely intended to clear out old sixth-generation warships and acquire resources without ulterior motives.

However, such an intention cannot be directly declared outright, since the intelligence about their quasi-seventh-generation warships remains a top secret.

Thus, under the coincidental misunderstanding, all parties of Taoist Monarchs and forces also believe that the Shenxiao Sect has the same stance, wishing to use this opportunity to strike out at the Buddhism School, interpreting it as tacit approval and support.

With the Shenxiao Sect as a prominent front piece, many newly ascended Dao Lords and forces are naturally encouraged; while they are reluctant to get involved directly, they do not mind using the Heterodox Alliance to probe.

Initially, when the conflict between the two sides broke out, there were newly ascended Dao Lords acting as mediators to reconcile the Heterodox Alliance and the Buddhist Jade Emperor.

According to common sense, the Heterodox Alliance superficially agreed to compromise, but in reality, it was deceit, sending people against the Buddhism School; for the newly ascended Dao Lord acting as the mediator, such actions are disrespectful.

But after the incident happened, the mediator Dao Lord, besides initial anger, remained silent without commenting as if nothing had happened.
