Chapter 1247 - 1196-1197 The Witch God’s Scheme, Seeking to Open the Netherworld
It was not just that; if it were only so, the relationship between the two parties would not have developed to this extent.
An even more important point was the change in identity of Zhu Houji, the Central Jade Emperor, and the complete submission of the Confucian Gate to him. He no longer needed to be held in check by the Witch God Sect, and instead sought to subjugate it, which naturally provoke the displeasure of the Witch God Sect Leader.
The great affairs of the state rely on sacrificial rites and military might.
The former Ruler of the human race, who, as the dominion of the human race, naturally had the authority of the Witch Priest lineage firmly in their hands.
But as the era changed, the subsequent Ruler of the Human Race, or in other words, the Lord of the Divine Dynasty, failed to do so, allowing those powers to once again be wielded by the lineage of the Witch God.
If Zhu Houji had risen from nothing, initially subdued the Witch God Sect with his own strength, and seized that power, then naturally the Witch God Sect would have no grounds for discontent.
However, his establishment of the Divine Dynasty took advantage of a trick; when the Witch God Sect emerged, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty had not yet reached its pinnacle and was unable to suppress the Witch God Sect; it even had to rely on the power of the Witch God Sect, which meant his authority was inherently unequal from the start.
Losing power is simple, but trying to reclaim it is very difficult.
Even though he had now certified himself as a Tao-Certifying True Immortal and took the position of Heavenly Court Master, his power was insufficient to suppress the Witch God Sect, it was even weaker than the Witch God Sect, naturally leading to their alienation.
Even if he did not make his thoughts apparent, how could the many strong members of the Witch God Sect fail to see it?
