"There was a god in ancient times."
Ancestral Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling still did not answer Jiang Qi's question immediately, but talked about seemingly unrelated things.
Jiang Qi found that this seemed to be a common problem among these big guys. To put it simply, they were good at teaching others.
I won't answer your questions directly, but I will give you examples to help you understand.
To deal with such a big boss, Jiang Qimenqing acted like he was asking for advice humbly and made a point of listening attentively.
As expected, Zhang Daoling was very impressed. He stroked his long white beard and said with a smile: "That was an era when gods and humans were active together in Kyushu."
"But after all, humans and gods are not on the same level, so conflicts inevitably break out."
"The gods who control the rules of heaven and earth rely on the power given by heaven and earth to completely suppress people."
"Then, they were no longer satisfied with staying in the same place as people, so the original heaven came into being. From then on, gods were high above, accepting people's offerings and beliefs."
"The initial order in heaven was relatively chaotic, and there was no clear division of power between gods. In order to compete for more people's worship and belief, the war between gods began."
"The war between the gods was protracted and lasted for a long, long time. One of the strongest gods stood at the end, and he was the original Emperor of Heaven."
"The rules have been established and the heavens have been perfected. The gods have ushered in an era of order, but it is not good news for humans."
Having said this, Zhang Daoling looked at Jiang Qi who was hesitant to speak, waved his hand and said: "Don't ask me questions about the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor. Even if you ask me, you won't tell me."
Jiang Qi: "."
Okay, at least one piece of information is revealed. The big boss in front of him knows the secrets of heaven just like Prime Minister Zhuge.
Seeing Jiang Qi nod, Zhang Daoling continued: "But everything in the world is relative. A heavenly emperor appeared among the gods, ended the war between gods, and established a new order with gods as the mainstay."
"In the human world, a similar existence also appeared, called Sui."
"Unlike Sui who established order, what Sui has to do is fight."
"Human faith is a very powerful force. Originally, only gods could use this power, but things changed after Sui appeared. People's faith was given to Sui, who is also a human being."
"So, the Human Emperor came into being."
"The Human Emperor led the people and opened the curtain of resistance against God. Give me freedom or give up death."
"So after that, the offense and defense began to change. People led by the emperor already had the power to resist the gods, which was the original Xuanxiu."
"But unfortunately, the Human Emperor is also a human being. Compared with gods, human lifespan is too short."
Zhang Daoling sighed, as if he was completely immersed in the era he was talking about.
"Fortunately, the struggle will not stop once it occurs, and the Human Emperor has a successor."
"Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, and Shaohao have been fighting against each other for generations. Each generation of Emperors will issue the same order."
"Destroy the sky against heaven!"
"Until the succession of a human emperor brought a temporary end to this war between humans and gods."
"This Human Emperor is called Gao Yang, also known as Zhuan Xu."
Hearing this, Jiang Qi's expression changed and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Daoling.
Zhang Daoling's narration did not stop.
"In Zhuanxu's time, people who had been fighting against the gods already wanted to pursue a stable life, which is understandable. At that time, the gods were already seeking compromise."
"And the Human Emperor always dotes on his subjects."
"For the wishes of his subjects, Emperor Zhuanxu did something."
Zhang Daoling looked at Jiang Qi and said word for word: "Cut down the building wood, and then the heaven and earth will be connected."
"From now on, at the cost of a great reduction in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, what belongs to humans will return to humans, and what belongs to gods will return to gods."
"People are finally living the stable life they dreamed of."
"Of course, this is for humans. The weakening of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth made God very angry, so before the Jedi Heavenly Power was completely formed, he opened the Colosseum in Heaven."
"Countless monsters have descended on the world, and a new chaos has begun, but it is obvious that Chu has not remembered the lesson. In this ethnic group called humans, there will always be a few bastards who are not afraid of anything and everything."
"Of course, that is Dayu's story, and it is not the focus of our story this time."
Zhang Daoling finally finished telling his story and looked at Jiang Qi with a smile.
Jiang Qi was silent. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Are you saying that even if the spiritual energy is revived, it will not be able to surpass the ancient times because the bridge between heaven and earth has been cut off?"
"It has this meaning."
Zhang Daoling smiled and nodded.
Is there this layer?
That means there is more to it.
Jiang Qi frowned, and suddenly, a lightning-like spark of thought flashed in his mind.
He looked at Zhang Daoling, opened his arm without warning, and let the bright red blood flow.
With the strength of Jiang Qi's physical body, this wound quickly recovered as before.
Jiang Qi looked up at Zhang Daoling, and Zhang Daoling also looked at Jiang Qi.
The two looked at each other for a long time before Zhang Daoling slowly said, "This is a long process, so don't worry too much."
"That's what I said"
Jiang Qi smiled bitterly and rubbed his forehead.
The wounds on one's own body will recover spontaneously. This is the instinct of the physical body, which wants to maintain the most perfect state.
What about Earth?
Will the chopped building wood be put back together after being broken and re-erected?
This is bound to happen, because Zhang Daoling just said that Zhuan Xu only temporarily ended the war between humans and gods.
only temporarily
But at the same time, Zhang Daoling also said that this is destined to be a long process.
Jiang Qi chose to believe in the judgment and knowledge of the Ancestral Master.
Also, what was separated by Emperor Zhuanxu was only the Heavenly Court of the first generation, so what happened to the later Heavenly Court?
Will the changes that happened in the underworld some time ago be related to the future in heaven?
What is the Prime Minister planning in the underworld?
One question led to a bunch of questions, and Jiang Qi couldn't help but rub his temples.
"Okay, little friend, you don't need to think so much at the moment."
Zhang Daoling smiled slightly and said: "There are always people who are more anxious than you and have more complete plans to deal with these changes."
"who?"
Jiang Qi asked subconsciously.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord."
Jiang Qi's very familiar smile appeared on Zhang Daoling's face.
I have seen it on the faces of the old monk, Li Chunfeng, Bai Yuchan, Sun Simiao, the Prime Minister and others. It is called "Damn Riddler. I will kill you ten thousand times and it won't be enough. Hurry up and get out of Kyushu with your riddle." smile.
"It's time to go, little friend."
Zhang Daoling stopped Jiang Qi's inquiring thoughts, stood up, and pointed to the bookshelf filled with all kinds of strange and strange objects.
"The old Taoist said that I can just pick out one of the things here and take it away. It is considered a gift from the old Taoist to the guests."
When Jiang Qi heard this, he looked at the wall.
