## Destruction of Great Thunder Clap Temple

"When the Hades Emperor invaded the Divine Lands many years ago, the reason why he chose to attack the Great Thunderclap Temple was that Hades Empress was defeated by a powerful cultivator of the Great Thunderclap Temple." OR so is known to everyone. The real reason which not even the Great Thunder Clap Temple knew completely was different. They were played with by the Great Void Sect.

This is what happened,

Hades Empress was the empress and companion of the Hades Emperor. She was a powerful demon in her own right too.

That’s the main reason, no doubt. However, there are other factors. The location of the Hades Empress was first discovered by the Great Void Sect, which then relayed the information to the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Emperor and Empress Hades were very close. The entire Grand Celestial World knew that. It was impossible that the Great Thunderclap Temple did not know about the repercussions of killing Hades Empress. Even though the Great Void Sect passed them the information, and even incited them, the Great Thunderclap Temple was ultimately responsible for her death. They should have been mentally prepared to face the wrath of the Hades Emperor which is true but the Great Thunderclap Temple never expected this result neither were they trying to kill her.

There was one thing the Great Void Sect knew but not the Great Thunderclap Temple. When they told the Great Thunderclap Temple her location, they left one thing out and that was that during the War of the Two Worlds, the Hades Empress was heavily pregnant!

During the war, to protect her and the child, the Hades Empress hid temporarily in a Middle World. The Great Thunderclap Temple sought to seal her in it, preventing her from taking part in the War of the Two Worlds however, there were defensive measures around the Middle World too. These defensive measures resisted the Great Thunderclap Temple’s seal and the two sides battled through the Middle World. Hence, the powerful Great Thunderclap Temple cultivators were not fully aware of her condition of being pregnant.

Afterwards, the Hades Empress and her guards broke out, but no one knew where did they went. In the Middle World, the Great Thunderclap Temple cultivators were able to detect that something was amiss from the traces they had left behind in the Middle World. Hence, they left immediately. However, soon after, the enraged Hades Emperor barged into the Great Thunderclap Temple. No one knew if the Hades Empress died because she over-exerted in defending her Middle World, or if she died due to an accident on the way back. The Great Void Sect did not know much about it too.

The Great Void Sect knows even less about what happened to their offspring. However, judging from the Hades Emperor’s anger, it was likely that both mother and child died. As the Great Thunderclap Temple was met with calamities, they lost much of their manuals and scriptures. Much important information perished along with the cultivators into the flowing river of time.

This is the reason of as to why the Great Void Sect instigate the previous War of the Two Worlds even though they were not fully prepared back then. Everything had been planned out. They had to take advantage of the Hades Empress’ pregnancy. While the Hades Emperor was arrogant and ruthless, he loved his wife deeply. When she was pregnant, he would not start a war. Regardless whether it was from an emotional or strategic perspective, this would be the wisest choice.

However, to the Great Void Sect, starting a war then was the most ideal, even if they were not fully prepared. Their plan could only work if they had acted then. If not, with the Hades Emperor’s personality, he would have attacked Mount Baiyun. But after this happened, Hades Emperor attacked Great Thunder Clap Temple which was regarded as an un-stable power by the Great Void Sect

Fighting in the Great Thunderclap Temple allowed the humans to maximize their strength, as to whether the monks of the Great Thunderclap Temple were willing or not, that was not within the Great Void Sect’s consideration.

### **Reasons:**

The Great Void Sect did not trust the Great Thunderclap Temple. Before the War of the Two Worlds, the Great Void Sect knew that the Great Thunderclap Temple had contacted some demons and sought to teach them the Buddhist way. Perhaps the Great Thunderclap Temple wanted to save the souls of the demons, but that was unacceptable to the Great Void Sect.

Hence, the ultraconservatives led by the Tai Yi Holy Man were unable to accept that. The Radical Faction and the Conservative Faction were happy to watch the Great Thunderclap Temple and the demons wear each other down. The Great Thunderclap Temple was deemed as an **‘unstable power’** by the Great Void Sect back then.

**An ‘unstable power’ in the eyes of the Great Void Sect means that they are unable to ascertain whether the sect will be beneficial or harmful to their efforts in the next War of the Two Worlds. All they can do at the moment is to observe till the war is over. Ideally, they would have worn the ‘unstable power’ down enough during the War of the Two Worlds by requesting that they fight the demons head-on.**

Simply speaking, it means that they aren’t sure if an unstable power would fight for the humans and be beneficial in the next war. Hence, the Great Void Sect will do something to force them to get involved and use up all their strength without considering what they might think about it.

They will then observe the ‘unstable power’ after the war. If one is deemed harmful or an **‘enemy power’**, then the Great Void Sect would eliminate them before the War of the Two Worlds. If the Great Void Sect deems the sect too difficult to eliminate up-front, then they will treat it just like how they treat an ‘unstable power’; They will try and get the demons to wear them down as much as possible and then eliminate them after the war.

In the War of the Two Worlds all those years ago, the Great Thunderclap Temple probably did not plan on completely enraging the Hades Emperor and hence, they did not want to kill the Hades Empress. However, as they knew that she was the Hades Tribe’s weak spot, they planned on sealing her. Evidently, they did plan to take part in the War of the Two Worlds, but they also sought to protect themselves.

### **Weakening:**

During the previous War of the Two Worlds, the Great Thunderclap Temple was sent to battle as an **‘unstable power’**. After the war, they were greatly weakened with most of their mantras gotten lost and most of their Powerhouses having died. They were then kept under close observation by the Great Void Sect. **Great Thunderclap Temple** suspected something was amiss with the information provided by the Great Void Sect. However, they were unable to ascertain whether the Great Void Sect knew of the Hades Empress’ pregnancy(but they did).

They did not suspect that by teaching demons Buddhist cultivation, they would earn the enmity of the Great Void Sect. After the previous War of the Two Worlds, they continued, and the Golden Cicada was the result.

### **War of Buddha Annihilation:.**

This was started on the surface due to Great Zhou Empire since they didn't want a power as strong as this near their borders and also becuz the Temple was severely weakened. Due to this, many other powers also joined in with them. During the **War of Buddha Annihilation**, the Great Void Sect gave tacit consent. It could be because they had designated the **Great Thunderclap Temple** as an ‘**enemy power**’.

Internally, the Great Void Sect had done their analysis and organized whatever information they had about the Hades Emperor. Their conclusion was that his only weak spot was his wife.

While the Hades Empress was a powerful demon in her own right, she was the only chink in the Armor of the Hades Emperor. Hence, with her around, the Hades Emperor would lose his cool. They used emotions as their enemy’s weakness.

Since Yan Xinghe, the Great Void Sect has been using this strategy. The more success they obtain, the more they believed in it. This in turn ended up in their downfall when they tried to employ a similar strategy against Lin Feng and Celestial Sect of Wonders. Not only did the great void sect lost many of their powerhouses but they were even forced to close down and hide lest Lin Feng attacked them for those schemes
