In the beginning there was God, and God and Tao were the same.
In the ancient times, there was only one path in the multiverse, and that was the Shinto. Each innate saint was born adhering to the path, and was born as a god. He was a symbol of the law and a representative of the universe.
Taiyi is a god, Emperor Wa is a god, Fuxi is a god, Queen Mother of the West is a god, Emperor Jun is a god, and even the Three Pure Ones are gods.
Even though each of the big bosses has ideals and turbulent undercurrents, they are still Shinto people on the surface.
Shinto monopolizes the right to practice of all sentient beings, and all sentient beings develop Shinto, forming a cycle that makes Shinto more and more talented, because there is only one right path in the world.
In the ancient times, immortality, immortality, and eternity were the rights of the gods. If you want to live forever, then become a god.
For those who are not gods, even the most noble demigods, there will still be a day when the divine fire withers and life span is exhausted.
In such a situation, heaven manifests itself, the emperor governs the world, all the gods praise him, and the divine way shines brightly.
It was also under such circumstances that the Queen Mother of the West invented the first elixir of death, completely breaking the situation where gods monopolized immortality and occupied the road to immortality.
You can imagine what a crazy move this is. Even if it is an elixir without any immortal ideas flowing out, it is enough to drive the gods crazy and shake the heavens.
Shen Gongbao immediately realized the seriousness of this problem.
The previous era was the Shinto Era. The so-called Lich War was a battle between the Witch God and the Demon God. It was a conflict within Shinto, fighting for the authority of the Emperor of Heaven.
In the past, Gonggong competed with Zhuanxu to be emperor, and in anger he touched Mount Buzhou, causing the pillars of heaven to break and the earth to remain intact. The sky tilts to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars move away; the earth is not satisfied with the southeast, so the water and dust return to the place.
The emperor here is the Heavenly Emperor.
Taiyi lost his position, and all the heroes competed.
But if something outside the divine way appears, are you really not afraid of the lich joining forces to share the same hatred? !
Those who are not from my race must have different minds. Shen Gongbao could feel the heavy weight of these words, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and asked: "Teacher, the Queen Mother of the West is developing the elixir, don't the gods have any objections?"
"Of course God objects."
Yuanshi Tianzun smiled meaningfully: "There are gods who oppose it, but there are also gods who agree."
"Why?"
Shen Gongbao was puzzled. Could it be that the ancient gods couldn't see the problem? Even the ordinary gods couldn't see it. Or maybe they couldn't say it because of the face of the Queen Mother of the West, so they didn't dare to say it.
The real bosses of Shinto, such as Tai Tiandi, Di Jun..., with their wisdom, it is impossible not to see the problem.
Forget it if you don’t object, why would God praise it?
"Because only gods can live forever." Yuanshi Tianzun said with profound eyes, "Gods can live forever, but descendants of gods cannot live forever. Thousands of acquired creatures who cannot become gods cannot live forever."
"If you have heirs, descendants, disciples, or disciples, but cannot live forever due to various reasons, and Queen Mother Xi comes up with the elixir at this time, are you opposed to it, or are you in favor of it?"
Shen Gongbao thought for a moment and said seriously: "Whatever the teacher opposes, the disciple will always oppose, and whatever Yuxu Palace supports, the disciple will always support."
Yuanshi Tianzun laughed dumbly and cursed: "Slippery."
Shen Gongbao smiled naively and said: "Whatever the teacher's opinion is, the disciple's opinion is also the same."
Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said: "Immortal life is precious, and there is no way to measure people."
"Understood!" Shen Gongbao said solemnly: "The immortal medicine has great merits for the common people and should indeed be developed."
"No." Yuanshi Tianzun regretted: "The elixir has not been developed. The Queen Mother of the West only gave one copy of the elixir. Then because Hou Tu objected, the ghosts and gods of the nether world resolutely resisted this behavior that disrupted Yin and Yang and destroyed order. In the end, the elixir was completely eliminated. Banned by the Heavenly Court and listed as illegal immortality.”
"Illegal immortality..."
The corner of Shen Gongbao's mouth twitched, but when he thought about it carefully, the gods controlled the power of heaven and earth and ran the sun and moon. In that era, taking elixirs was indeed illegal for immortality.
"Looking back now, the elixir is indeed the source of turmoil." Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to be recalling something, and whispered: "It was also this elixir that instigated the war between the lich and the lich."
Shen Gongbao suddenly trembled and asked tentatively: "Chang'e?"
In the past, Chang'e took the medicine of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West and flew to the moon. The story of Chang'e flying to the moon has been widely circulated in later generations and has become a familiar knowledge.
However, people often ignore the source of this elixir.
Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for the elixir of immortality.
The elixir of death was a recipe that Dayi obtained from the Queen Mother of the West.
"Chang'e should be called Heng'e." Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "The daughter of Emperor Ku and the wife of Dayi, because she took the elixir, she was disgusted by the queen, left the earth, ascended to the lunar calendar, and became the second generation of the moon god. "
"Emperor Ku."
Shen Gongbao's heart moved as he saw another familiar name.
What should I do if Jian Di is in Taiwan? Why is my daughter happy when the black bird comes to her?
Emperor Ku is the ancestor of the Yin and Shang Dynasty and is worshiped as a god. According to legend, he and his wife Chang Xi were born in the same month.
Could it be that the born moon is Chang'e, Heng'e!
Queen Mother of the West, Emperor Ku, Dayi, Chang'e, Immortal Medicine, Moon God, Sun and Moon... Words swirled around in Shen Gongbao's mind, as if they were about to be connected, but I always felt that something was missing.
Shen Gongbao couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked Yuanshi Tianzun with a solemn expression: "Teacher, disciple, please ask."
"Who is Di Ku?!"
Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "Emperor Ku is Emperor Jun, and he is also Emperor Kuang."
Connected, connected, everything connected.
Shen Gongbao felt suffocated. Ever since he traveled through time and became a noble in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, he was familiar with the myth of the black bird and often had a doubt.
Who is the birthday of Emperor Ku? Is his wife called Chang Yi? !
He flipped through ancient books and history books, and finally found clues in the corners of old papers and in a few words.
However, I am still not sure, I just have suspicions. After all, this is a time of vests, and there are too many great Luo people.
Now, it has been affirmed by Yuanshi Tianzun.
Shen Gongbao was finally convinced that Emperor Ku was the Demon Emperor Kuang.
The emperor's daughter Chang'e married Dayi, and then Dayi shot nine of his brothers-in-law dead, triggering the Lich War.
But, why did Dayi want to kill his brother-in-law? The emperor's son-in-law did a good job, so why did he fall out with his father-in-law?
Shen Gongbao thought of a record in the Book of Mountains and Seas. In the time of Yao, they all came out in ten days. Yao sent Yi to shoot for ten days, and it fell into Wojiao.
It was Emperor Yao who ordered Yi to shoot the sun!
Yao, the emperor of Yao, Shun and Yu, was also a holy king in ancient times.
There have always been two versions of the Five Emperors of the human race.
One is the Qing Emperor Fuxi, the Yan Emperor Shennong, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the White Emperor Shaohao, and the Black Emperor Zhuanxu.
The other one is Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, Yao and Shun.
The former is divided according to strength. The five most powerful human beings serve as heavenly emperors, symbolizing deterrence, while the latter is an internal inheritance order.
"After the Yellow Emperor, there was Zhuanxu. Gonggong competed with Zhuanxu to become the emperor, but they clashed with each other in anger and caused a landslide."
"After Zhuan Xu, there was Emperor Ku. Emperor Ku competed with Emperor Yao. Dayi shot the sun and Chang'e flew to the moon. From then on, the witches and wizards fought against each other."
Shen Gongbao murmured in disbelief, feeling like time was out of whack.
The Lich War actually happened during the years of Zhuan Xu, Emperor Ku, and Emperor Yao.
"Of course." Yuanshi Tianzun nodded approvingly and said: "Buzhou landslide, the pillars of heaven are broken, the earth is invincible, this is the Black Emperor Zhuanxu, the ultimate heavenly power."
"Shen Gongbao, you have understood ancient history, what do you think now?"
Shen Gongbao was in a trance for a while, and he heard the discussion between himself and Taizhen Yuanjun. Throughout the ages and the long history, there seemed to be only one theme, that is, fighting for the Emperor of Heaven.
Not seemingly, but definitely!
"Eternal years and long history have only one theme, and that is fighting for the Emperor of Heaven!"
Shen Gongbao smiled bitterly, bowed his hands to Yuanshi Tianzun and said, "Disciple, please be brave and ask the teacher a question, what is a demon? What is a witch?"
Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "Those who are not human are demons, and those who are shamans and gods are humans."
Those who are not human are monsters.
As long as it is not a human race, it is a demon race. If it is not human, it is a demon.
No matter what kind of wolf clan, fox clan, tiger clan, rabbit clan... as long as they are not human, they are all demon clan.
Just like all foreign countries, they are collectively called foreign countries.
The so-called demon clan was rejected by the human race, forced out by the human race, and forcibly defined by the human race themselves.
How arrogant and cruel it is to use the power of one clan to fight against all the clans in the wild.
The human race often says that the demon race is scary. Who knows that in the eyes of the weak demon race, the human race is the real monster.
The shaman is a human being! ~
This is the real reason why the human race has become the protagonist of the world.
It doesn't rely on luck, it doesn't rely on the favor of saints, it doesn't rely on the general trend of heaven, everything is achieved by oneself.
Because he is strong enough, the human race is the general trend.
Then there is only one last question left.
"Then how did the wizard-god become a human-god?"
Shen Gongbao took a deep breath, actually he already had some vague guesses in his mind.
The witch god refers to the twelve ancestral witches, and Gonggong is one of the twelve ancestral witches, the ancestral witch of water.
If the shaman god is a human god, then the struggle between Gonggong and Zhuanxu for emperor is an internal struggle within the human race.
The result of the struggle is self-evident. Gonggong was defeated and Zhuanxu won. As a result, the human forces representing the witches gradually aged, and the human forces of Zhuanxu's faction won.
"Before three generations, he was a witch god, and after three generations, he was a human god." Yuanshi Tianzun smiled slightly: "Since Dayu, there are no longer emperors, and the human race has been unified."
"Since the end of the ancient era, the divine way has fallen and the immortal way has risen."
There are ripples in the void, and a great river rushes forward, never turning back, recording the vicissitudes of endless years, and writing the epic of heroes through the ages. Many events in ancient and modern times are all in one river.
From the initial rise of Taiyi, to Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, Yao, Shun... he wrote brilliant Shinto poems, and also told the rise of immortality.
Huangdi asked Guangchengzi, who was the first Qi refiner.
From weak to strong, from subtle to vigorous, the journey of immortality is not smooth sailing, and countless immortals have sacrificed their lives for it.
Dong Wangong opened up the first realm of spiritual practice, so he suffered the most powerful retaliation. The Immortal Court was destroyed, and the ten continents and three islands were reduced to ashes.
The second group of Earth Immortals created the first realm of immortality - Earth Immortals, which completely shook the foundation of Shinto, and the most powerful attack in history came.
The Heavenly Court was furious, Emperor Kuang appeared, Kunpeng pressed forward, the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation was majestic, 365 Star Gods attacked, hundreds of millions of Star Officers roared, carrying an unstoppable momentum, powerfully suppressing the killing.
Even though Wuzhuang Guan was pregnant with the earth, it was difficult to stop this fight. In the end, Hongyun was born, resisted everything, put all the blame on himself, and cleared Zhen Yuanzi's suspicion.
This is the second ancestor to sacrifice his life for immortality.
The first place, the second place, the third place... The vast immortal way rises, the storm is precarious, the Taishang appears, the Taoist gives three lectures, the Zixiao Palace is established, and finally the gods reach a compromise.
So the Ancient Era ended, and God Haotian appeared, so the human race entered the Xia Dynasty, then the Shang Dynasty, and then entered the most critical Zhou Dynasty.
In the history of the human race, there have been four great unifications.
The bloodline of Xuanyuan is unified, the rituals and music culture of Tianzhou are unified, the land system of Xianqin is unified, and the thoughts and hearts of Shenhan are unified.
From nothing to something, from one to ten thousand, a mighty long river of time rushes in front of us, like a supreme dragon that runs through the past, future and present.
Humans, immortals, and gods, all three go hand in hand, evolving into an endless prehistoric multiverse.
Under the three divine dragons, there is the immature Buddhism, the old demonic two-headed dragon, and the other who is unwilling to fail and tries to make a comeback...
"With all these things, this is Daluo, this is the general trend!"
The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty solemnly said: "The purpose of my teaching is to protect the Zhou Dynasty and destroy the Shang Dynasty. Only when the Tian Zhou Dynasty was born can there be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Only in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period can hundreds of schools of thought contend, I am the Supreme Master."
"This is the foundation of my Taoism, this is the number of heaven!"
Shen Gongbao suddenly felt dazzled. Countless stars appeared on the vast river. Some were like bubbles and dispersed with a blow, while others were like mountain peaks, standing firmly on the river.
Those piles and scenes are Huangdi asking Guangchengzi, Zhuanxu beheading Gonggong, Laozi coming to the world, carrying forward the great road... interpreting his own glory, locking the future on the timeline, and announcing his own existence.
What is the number of days? This is the number of days.
What is the general trend? This is the general trend!
The general trend cannot be changed, but the small trend can be changed, which means that Huangdi asked Guangchengzi, you can blend in, follow Huangdi to learn from Guangchengzi, and have an orthodox identity.
However, if you dare to replace Huangdi or Guangchengzi, you will suffer a double blow from the human race and even Daomen Daluo.
In the same way, you can take advantage of me when I am born, but if you want to replace me, declare the Tao Te Ching in advance.
Then we have to face the iron fist attack of Sanqing. Tai Chi diagram, Pangu flag, Zhuxian sword formation, and the mighty three religions are all on their way to tell you why the flowers are so red and why the general trend does not need to change.
Because to try is to die.
And on the vast river of time, the general trend belonging to the Queen Mother of the West has gathered, and she runs through the three realms of gods, immortals, and humans.
He has a relationship with every big company and every organization, and walks behind one historical trend after another. It seems that there is no trace of her in the ages, but her traces are everywhere.
The Lich Catastrophe, Dayi shooting the sun, Chang'e flying to the moon, Nine Heavens Xuanyuan, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, East King Mugong... there are many figures of the Queen Mother of the West.
