Chapter 1329 Leadership Structure Internal Conflicts
When the emperor changes his government, the new leader needs to promote his own people and use people he trusts to do things, so as to ensure that his authority is not affected and to better manage the Shenxiao Sect.
The Shenxiao Sect is not a one-man show by the leader, but rather a group of elders like Yu Zhenzi who are in charge of the Shenxiao Sect.
This is the real leadership group of the Shenxiao Sect, which is similar to a united leadership system, not a model where one person is in charge and no one is allowed to interfere.
This is not actually done by the Shenxiao Sect alone, but by many of the Shenxiao Sect's sects. They all have a similar management model.
The leaders of the extraordinary world need enough power to be able to sit in this position, and for the strong who have enough power, even if they have a considerable desire for power, they pursue immortality and power more than the pursuit of power.
The strong men who can really control a sect all know that their own power is the core foundation of their rule. Without sufficient power, their rights cannot be guaranteed. Only those with a long life and strong power can keep their power.
Even if some people pursue power more than their desire for their own power, such rule will not last long. Without the suppression of power, they will eventually be overthrown by others. Even the so-called power schemes are meaningless under absolute power.
Power schemes are just to better exert their own power, but power schemes without power support are nothing but rootless duckweed, and the success of power schemes cannot be guaranteed at all.
For these strong men, as long as they ensure that their power has absolute suppression, they will not hesitate to release part of their power and let other people help them manage all affairs.
They can reduce more energy, have more time to practice, and constantly improve their own realm and combat power. In this way, even if there are other accidents one day in the future, they can completely recover this power again.
So in this extraordinary world where the great power belongs to oneself, the management of the sects and sects will be more like the leadership and commander of a group.
Such rules and management methods did not come out of thin air, but were the valuable experience gained by many sects after countless generations of inheritance and the tempering of blood and fire, which was the most suitable for them.
Of course, the advantage of other sects is that this rule has been passed down for countless generations. With such valuable experience, they also have various ways to file and can smoothly promote this matter.
The reason why the various forces in the world are ready to move is actually partly because of this.
At that time, the Shenzhou world had not yet been promoted, and even the strongest had a limited lifespan, which also meant that whether it was the headmaster or the elder, those who held the power of the sect would have a day when their lifespan was about to age.
For the inheritance of the sect, when a certain number of years have passed, whether they are willing or not, they must start to make some preparations, start to let the later inherit their power, let the newcomers take the throne, and ensure the continuous inheritance of the sect.
Such a rule of inheritance has been passed down. Even if the time is long, the later generations can see hope and hope to reach the peak and master the power of the sect. They will not be anxious and will not be impatient to choose to overthrow the elders.
However, after the Shenzhou world is promoted, the emergence of true immortals means that the life span of extraordinary people will no longer be limited. Even if there is the threat of the five decays of heaven and man, for most true immortals, the life they have is almost immortal.
If the elders who once held the sect can survive one or two generations of successors, but there will be a day to hand over the power, they can also use the rising stars to check and balance the existence of the backbone and keep the balance within the sect.
But now they are true immortals and gods, with almost immortal life. Those later generations, as long as they are not true immortals, may not have the opportunity to hold power from birth to death, which is a problem.
In the past, the pie was painted for the younger generation, so that they could see hope, and both sides had common interests and could be used as checks and balances.
But now they have completely occupied the position, and the path for the later comers to rise has been completely blocked. There is no chance to even draw a pie. Instead, they have become the target of public criticism, and this balance will definitely not work.
This is exactly the same as the scene when the Shenzhou world just expelled the demon race and established the heaven. It seems that the human race has reached its peak, and all the strong have obtained what they want, immortal life and endless power.
However, in this situation, the position of the upper class is no longer easy to shake. For the later comers, it means the solidification of the class. They no longer have the path to rise. How can the later comers be satisfied?
And the solution that many true immortals in the Shenzhou world, such as Pei Xuanjing, came up with was to continue to expand outward, to continuously plunder more benefits, to make the cake bigger and bigger, so that more latecomers have the opportunity to move up, so as to calm their dissatisfaction and let them settle down and not make trouble.
For the masters and elders of these immortal sects, since they are unwilling to give up their positions, they need to offer more benefits to the newcomers and win over these newcomers so that they are willing to recognize their own authority.
This is also the reason why they are finally willing to join the Heavenly Court development plan. Even though they know that there will be some disadvantages in this plan, it is undoubtedly a way to alleviate it.
However, after ten thousand years, the Heavenly Court development plan of the Shenzhou world has reached a peak. Even the development pace of those top immortal sects has begun to slow down, and the benefits obtained have reached a limit.
Whether it is the Heavenly Court or the various immortal sects, they have reached a limit, and the sharing of benefits has also reached a limit, and there is no qualitative change.
This is the case for the upper-level figures, but it is not the case for those middle-level strongmen, because the upper-level figures have no room for further advancement, but they are not.
Therefore, they turned their eyes again and set their sights on those masters and elders. If they can obtain these powers, it is also an opportunity for them to rise.
After going around in circles like this, the contradiction that seemed to have been resolved and eased was raised again, and this time the contradiction was more obvious, because the strength of both sides was stronger and the gap between them was reduced.
As the vested interests of today, these immortal sect masters and elders are naturally unwilling to easily give up their power and interests.
After all, the changes in power in the past were not really because of how great the people who held the power were, but the threat of life and death made them helpless to give up the power. After all, everything will return to nothingness after death.
But now they are either true immortals or gods. The threat of life and death can be said to be far away for them. In the absence of life threats, it is not easy to make these strong men easily give up the power in their hands.
In the past, they were not far from death when they gave up their power, and after death, everything turned into smoke. Now they are not dead after giving up their power, and they still have a long time to survive. How can they be willing without power?
But the fact is that sometimes it is not that they do not want to give up the power in their hands. Those younger generations are eager to challenge them one by one, constantly trying to separate the power from them. This is what they cannot tolerate, so they naturally start to suppress them.
But suppression is not the best choice. After all, suppressing the later ones means weakening the power of their own sects and sects, and weakening the strength of their own sects and sects.
If it is a peaceful period, temporarily letting the horses go to the mountains and weapons go into storage, for their own power, it doesn't matter if they sacrifice some of the power of the sects and sects, and they can barely accept it.
But now is a world of great contention. Not only are there many sects and sects in the Shenzhou world, but there are constant conflicts between the parties. The powerful forces in the entire Chaos Void Heaven Sea are also eyeing them. Once they weaken, they will inevitably attract the covetousness of others.
If they do not suppress the later ones, their position in the sects and sects will be constantly challenged, and their own interests will be shaky.
However, suppressing the latecomers will continuously weaken the fighting power of the sect. In this world of great contention, it is also full of dangers and is also coveted by others. If you are not careful, you may lose everything and the sect will be destroyed.
Therefore, the masters and elders of such sects are afraid of both sides. No matter what choice they make, it is not the best choice.
For them, the best way is to continuously expand their own interests, so that they can consolidate their own status and interests while also stabilizing the challengers within the sect.
However, in today's world of great contention, there are no weak immortals who can really rise and stand in the world of Shenzhou and the chaotic void. Which one is not standing at the top after experiencing great waves.
At this time, the new Taoist alliance appeared. Many Taoists in these new Taoist alliances also have their own interests. They want to challenge the status of the old Taoists, redivide the share of interests between heaven and earth, and reorganize the power structure of the world of Shenzhou and even the sea of heaven.
In this case, the two sides can be said to be a match made in heaven. With common goals and pursuits, cooperation has no meaning.
At the beginning, Pang Hong and his team thought that the cooperation between these immortal gates and the new Taoist monarchs was forced, and they wanted to find a backer for themselves just to protect themselves.
But when they really understood the situation of all parties involved, they realized that it was not the case. The cooperation between the two sides was not forced, but the man had feelings for the concubine, and each got what he wanted.
He even understood the ideas of these immortal gates more clearly, and their ideas were more ruthless than Pang Hong imagined.
For some of the immortal gates, when they cooperated with these new Taoist monarchs, they held the idea that if they could succeed, they would succeed, and if they failed, they would also win.
For these immortal gates, if they succeeded in cooperating with the new Taoist monarchs to challenge the old Taoist monarchs, they could naturally get enough benefits, resolve internal conflicts, stabilize their status and authority, and even move to a higher level.
Even if they fail, it does not mean that they have lost. In fact, they have won because in this process, they will also take the opportunity to purge those challengers and consolidate their own position and authority.
Indeed, if simply cleaning up the challengers of one's own faction is a way to weaken one's own power, it will attract the covetousness of other parties.
But what if everyone does this? If everyone is weakened, then it is equivalent to no one being weakened.
A single immortal sect cannot do such a thing, but if it cooperates with these newly promoted Taoists and uses their power to disrupt the pattern of the world, all parties will have casualties, which is a very good situation.
Waiting for that time, it is not only to clean up the internal challengers, but also to free up more profit shares, so that they will not be a threat and can become stronger.
For this approach, many strong men remembered some of the practices of the demon clan in the past. At that time, the interests of the Shenzhou world were limited, the human race was powerful, and the demon clan occupied only a small part of the interests.
But if the two sides continue to make peace, new demons will continue to be born within the demon clan, which will also cause problems for the stability of the demon clan.
So at some point, these strong men of the demon clan took the initiative to provoke the human race and set off a war between the human race and the demon clan. They don't care about the final success or failure.
If it succeeds, it can plunder benefits from the human race. If it fails, it can consume the monsters. The freed benefits can stabilize the situation within the monsters, so that the monsters can continue to develop, and there will be no civil strife due to too many monsters.
Of course, whether the various forces within the human race had such dark thoughts at the beginning, no one directly said it, and it is a question that cannot be asked.
Even some strong people thought gloomily in their hearts whether the original heavenly court development plan also had such a purpose. Indeed, the current heavenly court plan has succeeded, and it has gained a lot of benefits for all parties and has produced countless strong people.
But what if the original heavenly court development plan failed? Will it make these strong people stop, and let the internal expansion cause civil strife?
No!
Even if the heavenly court development plan is not really successful, this plan will not stop. As long as there are more and more strong people stepping into the chaos to explore, whether they succeed or fail, they can ease the contradiction. (End of this chapter)
