Exert fully?
Do what man can do, and await the heavenly fate.
Now there's no need to wait for heavenly fate; the Great Master knows very well that he surely cannot match the might of the Heroic Marquis.
No matter what he does or says, as long as the long-hidden Divine Beast appears, he, the leader of the Wei Dynasty's Confucians, will have to admit defeat.
However, doing nothing is not an option either—
Now the decline of Buddhism within Wei's territory is inevitable, unless Taizhou Mountain resolves the "Pure Land of Bliss," none of the temples or monks in the Seventeen States can hope to rise.
Thus, in the years, decades, or even hundreds of years to come, Confucianism and Taoism are bound to rise, inevitably accompanied by conflict.
Contending for champions and talented individuals, for Heavenly Materials, Earthly Treasures, blessed lands, cave heavens, and secret realm inheritances, all eventually culminate in a struggle for fortune.
