Chapter 1456
Wang Shichong's destruction of Buddhism caused a mighty storm in the world.
Buddhism was filled with righteous indignation and accused Wang Shichong one after another.
Even Li Tang thought that Wang Shichong would bear a huge price in the backlash.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed.
Wang Shichong's destruction of Jingnian Zen Temple, Buddhism only shouted slogans, but in fact, it was of no use. They dared not retaliate against Wang Shichong, nor did they dare to do anything else.
This made Li Tang surprised and confused.
When did Buddhism, as the leader of the white martial arts, become so weak?
They tried to contact Fan Qinghui, but unfortunately, only a few people knew about Fan Qinghui's death so far. Li Tang did not know that Fan Qinghui was dead, so it was destined that they could not contact Fan Qinghui.
After failing to contact Fan Qinghui, Li Tang deeply realized Wang Shichong's difficulty.
Originally, Li Tang had all the advantages, so destroying Luoyang was not a difficult thing.
But as Buddhism suddenly changed its state and lost power, Wang Shichong in Luoyang destroyed Buddhism and borrowed the free funding of Jingnian Zen Temple to deeply fill the cracks in the treasury. He had many gold, silver, and treasures to recruit soldiers and horses, and there was Rong Fengxiang behind him. It was not so easy for Li Tang to destroy Luoyang.
A battle that was bound to be won eventually evolved into a pure comparison of national strength.
This was an unacceptable thing for Li Tang.
If they gave up conquering Luoyang, how could they talk about seizing the world?
Not to mention that this battle in Luoyang consumed a lot of financial and material resources and lost a lot of troops.
Giving up now, Li Tang could not accept it.
So, in order to seize Luoyang and for the sake of the Bashu land defecting promised by Fan Qinghui, Li Tang could only continue to persist and continue to conquer Luoyang.
But before they conquered Luoyang, another piece of bad news came.
Kou Zhong went up from the Three Gorges and had occupied the Bashu land.
The Duzun Fort and other Bashu forces that Fan Qinghui promised could be contacted had all been destroyed by Kou Zhong.
The current Bashu had completely fallen into the hands of the Shaoshuai Army.
Since ancient times, the Bashu land has been easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Now that Bashu fell into Kou Zhong's hands, even if Li Tang conquered Luoyang, it was an extremely difficult thing to occupy Bashu.
So, was it necessary to continue this war?
Many people in Li Tang were completely confused.
And the things that made them even more uncomfortable were still behind.
The Song Clan in Lingnan chose to form an alliance with the Shaoshuai Army in Bashu, and then the two sides joined forces to occupy the South in a short time.
Li Tang had not yet unified the North, but a unified regime appeared in the South.
Such a thing was unacceptable for Li Tang.
Since ancient times, although it has always been the North unifying the South, there have been only a few cases of the South unifying the North, and it was full of various coincidences and accidents. But if you want the North to unify the South, you must have a premise, and that is that you have already unified the North.
Did Li Tang unify the North?
No.
So, even if the Southern advantage was not as large as imagined, they had already unified. If Kou Zhong and the Song Clan army joined forces to go North and break the Northern forces one by one, who could stop them?
No matter if Kou Zhong and the Song Clan joined forces, who became the emperor, who was the master, and who was the secondary.
This matter made many forces in the North panic.
The world's affairs, for Su Xuan, were just a game of chess.
At his level, he could already sway the world's chess game at will. Even if he was willing, there was no need to support Kou Zhong to seize the world. Relying on him alone was enough to push across the world.
This was not an impossible thing to do.
But in the Qin world, someone had already done this.
That was Did Chi You.
In the past, Did Chi You held the Did Chi You Sword and slaughtered millions of lives with his own strength, evolving into a monstrous demonic calamity.
Su Xuan's current strength might be inferior to Did Chi You at his peak, but the millions of lives Did Chi You slaughtered in the past were not simple characters. At first, Su Xuan thought they were ordinary civilians, but as he knew more about that period of ancient history, he realized how prosperous the ancient era was. At that time, immortals and gods came to the human world, leaving behind many descendants of gods, and there were all kinds of prehistoric beasts raging on the earth.
In the era of Did Chi You, natural disasters and wild beasts continued. It could be said that those who could survive were all elites who survived in the struggle against those prehistoric beasts and natural disasters.
As a result, such people were all slaughtered by Did Chi You's sword.
All living beings joined forces, but they were just ants under Did Chi You's sword.
It can be seen that the Did Chi You of the past had reached an unbelievable realm.
It was also because of his strength that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, the Dragon God, and other experts had to join forces to help the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
Even so, after Did Chi You was defeated, he did not die, but was divided into two parts and sealed separately.
His Primordial Spirit was suppressed under the Abyss.
His body was sealed in the overseas fairy mountain Penglai. If it was normal, under the condition that his Primordial Spirit had not perished, his body, because it contained many life essences, could not die.
Unfortunately, he met Emperor Yu. The existence of Emperor Yu directly cut off all his vitality.
So in the end, those life essences all benefited Su Xuan.
Back to the topic.
In the past, the experts of the ancient era, those powerful humans, Did Chi You could slaughter millions. Su Xuan's strength, although temporarily not as good as Did Chi You at his peak, was not much weaker.
And the current army, compared to the lives slaughtered by Did Chi You, was much weaker.
If Su Xuan was willing, he alone would be a million-strong army.
But in the end, he still did not do such a thing.
When Kou Zhong and Song Que joined forces to unify the South and were ready to go, preparing to march North and seize the world in one fell swoop, Su Xuan was traveling all over the world.
If he didn't travel, there was really nothing to do.
Earlier, there were the Demonic Sect and Buddhism looking for trouble with him.
But as he became the Holy Emperor of the Demonic Sect and unified the Demonic Sect, the trouble belonging to the Demonic Sect disappeared, and the trouble of Buddhism also stopped abruptly after Su Xuan killed Fan Qinghui.
Since no one was looking for trouble with him.
Su Xuan could only find fun for himself.
In the current world, it was a full thousand years away from the Qin Dynasty.
Under the washing of a thousand years of time, many places had changed greatly compared to the Qin Dynasty, and the Datang world itself was a magic-modified world. Su Xuan traveled here, purely to relax his mood.
It was also at this time that Chu Nangong sent back a message.
