This time, the punishment from heaven is more of a process and is unlikely to cause any real harm to Jiang Chen. Otherwise, would Tiandao really dare to hurt him?
After all, it was because he had made contributions to the prehistoric times. Unless Jiang Chen really destroyed the world, God's punishment for him would always be a small punishment or a big punishment, rather than really killing him.
What really made Jiang Chen look weird was not because of heaven's punishment, but for other reasons. He had just had a dream.
Can you believe it? Not long ago, when he was in seclusion, he actually fell asleep and had a dream. This was simply outrageous.
When his strength reached Jiang Chen's level, he no longer needed sleep. As for dreaming, it was even more impossible.
Dreams are an extension of thinking. If Jiang Chen couldn't control his own thinking, he wouldn't have reached this level of cultivation.
The quasi-sage's dream is an extremely weird thing in itself, not to mention that he had this dream for quite a long time.
This is also the reason why Jiang Chen did not appear earlier. Otherwise, with his character, how could he sit back and watch the Yiren lineage return to the human race, and would have intervened long ago.
In fact, he fell into a dream, and he didn't wake up until this moment.
Speaking of that dream, it was also weird. Jiang Chen actually returned to his previous life. No, it should be said that he watched from the perspective of a bystander how the prehistoric era would evolve in the future without him.
If there were no Jiang Chen, the next evolution of the Great Desolate World would be almost the same as the world Jiang Chen lived in in his previous life.
Around the time of the Jin Dynasty, the plan to create a fairyland that had been prepared for many years by the great supernatural powers of Dongsheng China was officially launched.
During this process, no force came forward to stop it, so there is no doubt that the plan of this group of great supernatural beings was successful.
They used their great supernatural powers to extract the essence of Dongsheng Shenzhou and brought it into the broken boundless starry sky. Combined with the essence of stars and the energy of chaos, they evolved a world even larger than the heaven - the fairy world!
When the Immortal Realm was first opened, it was a world at the level of heaven, earth, and universe. It was more powerful than the current boundless starry sky and was at the pinnacle of this realm.
At the same time, after the opening of the Immortal Realm, it immediately replaced the Heaven Realm and became the center of the Three Realms, and even all the heavens and realms.
That's right, in order to improve the status of the Immortal Realm, the group of great supernatural beings used their great supernatural powers to penetrate the passage between the Immortal Realm and the heavens and all the worlds. With the power of all the worlds, they forcibly raised the level of the Immortal Realm, which made it surpass Above the heaven.
The Immortal Realm replaced the Heaven Realm and became the center of the ancient world, and the original four major continents also lost their due status and were replaced by the heavens and the world.
It can be said that since the opening of the Immortal Realm, the situation in the prehistoric era has changed. From the Three Realms Era, we have officially entered the Ten Thousand Realms Era. The universe has become the new mainstream, and the three realms have officially become history.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was not shocked at all, because this was all expected.
If there were no others in the prehistoric world, no one would think of reshaping the prehistoric world, and naturally no one would stop those people with great magical powers from creating the fairyland. The prehistoric era moving towards the era of all realms is not just following the trend of the times.
Although different roads are not the ones he wants to take, Jiang Chen can still get a lot of inspiration from reading them, which can improve his realm to some extent, and even improve his success rate in reshaping the ancient world.
Therefore, Jiang Chen watched with gusto at first. But with the birth of the fairy world, things gradually went wrong.
At some point, Zhen Yuanzi quietly appeared in the abandoned four major continents, and offered up the Book of the Earth, manifesting the shadow of the original prehistoric land, trying to refine the abandoned four major continents and reshape the prehistoric land. .
Seeing this, Jiang Chen still didn't understand that Zhen Yuanzi, who seemed to be the most harmless to humans and animals in the prehistoric period, was the mastermind behind the plan to create the fairy world. Moreover, his purpose in formulating this plan was not to create a fairyland, but to promote his own enlightenment.
I have to say that after thinking about this, Jiang Chen really admired Zhen Yuanzi. The layout is so deep and far away, not only involving hundreds of great supernatural beings, but also changing the pattern of the ancient world.
Such a method fits Jiang Chen's impression of a person with great supernatural powers, who uses heaven and earth as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, laying out an eternal layout that is so vast that it has no boundaries.
What is a person with great supernatural powers? This is it!
The pattern of great supernatural beings was vividly demonstrated by Zhen Yuanzi.
However, although building the Immortal Realm is good for Xuanmen, it is not good for other forces. Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi's move is not without cost.
When he was refining the four major continents and preparing to become a Taoist, he was immediately besieged by many powerful people in the world. The leaders were none other than Empress Houtu and Empress Nuwa, followed by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, as well as many great innate witches from the witch race.
In addition, many people with great supernatural powers appeared and killed Zhen Yuanzi together. Well, even the most insignificant Jade Emperor, a great supernatural power, couldn't hold back and joined the ranks of besieging Zhen Yuanzi.
Those who take action are basically strong men who are involved in the ancient world. By doing this, Zhen Yuanzi not only created the Immortal Realm and transferred the fate of the ancient world, but also prepared to wipe out the remaining luck of the earth.
Neither the masters in heaven nor the races living on earth could spare him.
With so many strong men attacking together, even ten Zhen Yuanzi could be beaten to death. However, with the success of the creation of the fairy world, a group of people with great supernatural powers all owed Zhen Yuanzi a favor. For this reason, they had to try their best to protect Zhen Yuanzi to the death.
The war lasted for a long time, and finally ended with Zhen Yuanzi's side gaining the upper hand and winning.
However, although Zhen Yuanzi won, it was a miserable victory. He has refined the four major continents, but only 90% of them have been refined. The remaining 10% of each has not been refined, and they are left in place as the last habitat of each race.
In the Earth Immortal Realm, Zhen Yuanzi achieved his wish and successfully became a Taoist. He entered the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and made his name as the ancestor of the Earth Immortal become worthy of the name.
However, he has only refined 90% of the four major continents, and there is still 10% that has not been refined. This leads to the fact that Zhen Yuanzi's avenue is not as perfect as imagined, and there are still some flaws.
Therefore, after he became enlightened, his strength did not reach the expected state and was on par with the saints, but was weaker than them.
As a last resort, Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to take the newly made Earth Immortal Realm to the center of the Ten Thousand Realms, preparing to integrate the Ten Thousand Realms into one, so as to complete his path and rush to a higher realm.
With the immortal world and the earthly immortal world as the foundation, it would be difficult for all the heavens and worlds not to develop. With the birth of the fairy world, the broken endless starry sky also began to change, and began to repair itself at the cost of the overall decline of one level.
The star fragments were completely disconnected and evolved into brand new stars. Over the long years, they gave birth to living beings yesterday. This is the origin of the vast starry sky in Jiang Chen's previous life.
Let’s not mention the world and the starry sky for the moment, let’s just talk about the four major continents with only 10% left. The area has been reduced by 90% out of thin air, which can be said to have been reduced many times.
In this way, Jiang Chen's early doubts were solved.
When he traveled to the four major continents in the early years, he once lamented that the four major continents were so vast that even if the gods were rushing all the way, it would still take more than ten years to travel from Nanzhan Buzhou to Xiniu Hezhou.
But as a mortal, Tang Seng only spent more than ten years traveling from Chang'an to Lingshan by walking. This speed was really frightening.
Now that he saw it, Jiang Chen understood that the area of the four major continents was so much smaller. It only took Tang Monk more than ten years to reach Lingshan from Chang'an on a white dragon horse. This speed was not only not fast, it was actually slow.
The area of the four major continents suddenly shrank to one-tenth of its original size, and the impact was not insignificant. To put it simply, the living space of each race has become smaller, and the pressure to survive has increased accordingly.
The quantity has not changed, but the resources have decreased by 90%. In order to compete for those limited resources, wars naturally broke out.
First of all, it was the alien lineage that launched an attack on the human race. Under normal circumstances, the Yiren lineage would never be an opponent of the human race, but the situation at that time was not very normal.
In order to open up the world and occupy the mainstream in the new era, most of the masters of the human race went to the world, and this gave the Yiren lineage an opportunity.
This is the reason why Jiang Chen was called Wuhuanhua in his previous life.
After the Five Husties disrupted China, after hundreds of years of chaos, the human race was reunited and another prosperous dynasty was established, the Tang Dynasty.
After that, it’s time to travel west. There is not much difference from the previous life in Jiang Chen's memory.
Buddhism spread to the east, and Buddhism flourished as a result. Those who participated in the journey to the West, no matter whether they were good or bad, received enlightenment merits as long as they were still alive.
However, the great prosperity of Buddhism did not last long. It is said that everything that flourishes must eventually decline, and Buddhism agrees with this principle. Because of its eagerness to expand, Buddhism has few requirements when recruiting disciples. Regardless of good or bad, as long as they have the heart to worship Buddha, they can become Buddhists.
Although this move strengthened the power of Buddhism and made Buddhism prosperous soon, it also laid hidden dangers for the decline of Buddhism.
It didn't take long for the originally pure Buddhism to become smoky due to the mixed disciples. There were many people who violated the precepts.
Oppressing good people, running rampant in the countryside, bullying men and women, lending money at usury, seizing other people's wives and daughters... all kinds of evil in the world can be seen in Buddhism.
The appearance of Buddhism at this time is the future appearance of Jiejiao in the eyes of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Sage.
At that time, the Shangqing Taoists were like this, adhering to the principle of teaching without distinction, and accepting all disciples regardless of likes and dislikes. This move was fine at first, but it would definitely bring disaster to the Sage of Shangqing in the future. For this reason, the two often persuaded the Sage of Shangqing.
However, Sage Shangqing just refused to listen and saw his younger brother going astray without realizing it. Sage Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to join forces to destroy Jie Jiao.
Well, that was true at first. But later, as his disciples' cultivation was abolished, Yuanshi Tianzun inevitably brought some personal emotions and dealt cruelly to the Jie Jiao disciples, causing many disciples who did not deserve to die to be included in the list of gods.
This is where the disharmony between the Three Purities began.
If Buddhism just becomes a mess, it can still survive for a while. Unfortunately, Buddhism also has enemies.
Seeing the Buddhist disciples degenerating so quickly, the demons hiding in secret were happy.
No longer hiding, he came out in a big way, luring Buddhist disciples into demons, preparing to occupy the magpie's nest with a dove and turn Buddhism into a demon sect.
Soon, the Demon Sect rises!
The war between Buddha and Demon lasted for hundreds of years. During this period, many dynasties rose and fell, and other orthodoxy joined in.
In the end, no one among these Taoist traditions could tell the winner, and their reputations were getting worse and worse. Moreover, because the Buddhist disciples were so evil, they even attracted the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.
Others can be forgiven for doing evil, but only Buddhist disciples do evil, and there is no room for forgiveness, because Buddhism is under the banner of doing good, and hypocrisy is called evil, and the sin is even worse.
Similar to knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime will be increased by one level!
Buddhist teachings are remembered by Heaven. When Buddhist disciples do evil, they not only offend all spirits, but also deeply irritate Heaven.
That night, the backlash of heaven and earth came. Endless fire of karma fell from the sky and flooded the entire four continents. Countless monks who had done evil were burned to ashes amidst the wails. The world suddenly entered the Age of End of Dharma.
After that, the remaining parts of the four continents were also broken, and the fragments fell into the starry sky one after another, evolving into stars.
One of the blue stars was very familiar to Jiang Chen. It was the earth star where he lived in his previous life.
At this point, the Three Realms were completely reduced to history, even the last vestiges were gone, and the Age of Ten Thousand Realms began to reach its peak.
Time passed slowly, gradually entering the history that Jiang Chen knew well. Jiang Chen even saw his own figure in that blue planet.
However, in the dream, he did not travel through time, but continued to live in the earth star.
"Well, how come?"
Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to see what his life would be like without time travel, whether he would become rich or live an ordinary life. But what happened next made him a little confused.
As the world reaches its peak, the power of the fairy world becomes stronger and stronger, and in the end, it even swallows up the heaven world.
At this point, the position of the center of the immortal world can no longer be shaken, and it has officially surpassed the world of heaven and earth, and entered a new level, the heavens and the world.
The world is promoted, and everyone is celebrating. The powerful energy of creation, centered on the fairy world, continues to radiate in all directions, even the earth and stars are affected.
From this moment on, Earth Star began to enter the stage of spiritual energy recovery. In this life, Jiang Chen, because he seized the opportunity, successfully became a trendsetter of the times and began to write his own legend.
"Sure enough, excellent people behave excellently no matter where they are."
Jiang Chen saw that in the dream, he rose all the way, first from the earth to the starry sky, then from the starry sky to the world, and finally, he entered the immortal world and became an immortal.
The so-called Immortal Lord is the Innate Taoist Lord. No matter in which era, he can be regarded as a strong person.
"After practicing for only a million years, I have reached the realm of the Innate Taoist Master. Although I am not as good as me in this life, I am still better than many talented people."
Jiang Chen was extremely satisfied with his performance in the dream. It only took a million years to cultivate to the realm of the Innate Taoist Master, and he can already be said to be a rare genius in the world.
With such qualifications, it should be possible to achieve Hunyuan.
It has to be said that the character of Jiang Chen in the dream is really the same as that of Jiang Chen in reality. His path to enlightenment is similar to Jiang Chen's current choice.
That is to reshape the starry sky!
In the dream, Jiang Chen prepared to connect the scattered starry sky into a whole, planning 365 star fields to replace the ancient stars in the sky, and rearrange the star formation in the sky.
If he can do this, then he will be able to achieve perfect merits, transcend heaven and earth in one fell swoop, and reach the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
When Jiang Chen saw this in reality, he expressed great expectations. This was a path similar to his, but different. If he could witness its success with his own eyes, it would definitely bring him considerable benefits.
Time flies, and soon, hundreds of millions have passed.
During these long years, Jiang Chen's plan in the dream was successful. The vast starry sky was rearranged by him and planned into 365 star fields.
And by cooperating with each other, they successfully embodied the ancient Zhoutian star formation.
The moment his plan was successful, Jiang Chen in the dream also achieved the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal as he wished.
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he was happy but also confirmed that this was a dream and not his previous life.
The so-called Hunyuan means that I am the only true one. There is only one me in the world. No matter it is the past, future, present, or past and present life, there is only one me. There is only one me and no other.
Therefore, if what you see in front of you is really Jiang Chen's previous life, it will never be possible to reach the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Regarding the nature of this dream, Jiang Chen had already guessed that it should be someone beyond imagination who was explaining it to him.
In the form of a dream, explain another possibility to him to improve his success rate in reshaping the ancient world, and tell him some of the secrets of the ancient world.
For example, if it hadn't been for this dream, Jiang Chen would never have thought that his biggest enemy was Zhen Yuanzi, who he had always ignored.
"This dream should have been arranged by the Great God Pangu."
Jiang Chen thought about it and found that the only being in the prehistoric era who had the ability to let him fall into a dream silently was the great god Pangu. Perhaps, this dream was the opportunity given to him by the Great God Pangu.
】
And just when Jiang Chen was thinking this, the situation in the dream changed again.
In the dream, Jiang Chen, after integrating the power of the starry sky, turned his attention to the world, preparing to merge the starry sky with the heavens and the world to attack the realm above Hunyuan.
But what he didn't expect was that before he could take action, an unimaginable disaster broke out.
The Chaos Demon God, who had been lurking for countless years, suddenly launched an attack on the ancient world, and once he took action, it was a sure kill.
Although the prehistoric side was extremely powerful, with more than a hundred Hunyuan Taoist masters, and Hongjun Daozu, a being above Hunyuan, they were still no match for the Chaos Demon God. Not long after the battle, the two sides were beaten back and forth.
In the end, the Chaos Demon God didn't win either, because at the critical moment, the Great God Pangu revived.
