…
About 1,700 years ago in the Middle-earth universe, social conflicts in the Giant Empire in the land of Annan began to become acute, mainly due to the increasingly fierce conflicts between the Giant tribes and other races. Even though the giants have absolute military superiority in the world of Annan, the wise people of the empire have long realized that various other races are also important parts of the empire.
If you want to build a great empire, you can rely solely on the construction of giants, but you must not lack the tolerance to tolerate the world. Moreover, the infinite cosmic ring is so big, and there are as many races as the sands of the Ganges. Even giants have to admit that some races are inherently superior in certain aspects. The Giant Empire of Annan wants to become the overlord of the nearby area, and even compete with other big worlds. , you must have the tolerance to embrace the world and embrace the world.
At this time, a small human sage came to Si Chuomaozi. He preached in Tiktuk for only a few days before he became famous and attracted a large crowd. After hearing about it, the then Storm Giant King Xiao Hongfeng personally welcomed the sage into the palace to listen to his lecture. Three days later, Xiao Hongfeng praised him and gave him gold and silver treasures. He wanted to grant him a high position, but the wise man refused. He only taught and lectured in Tiktuk, and then he drifted away after ten years.
At that time, the Storm Giant King Xiao Hongfeng worked hard to govern. The Storm Giant clan accumulated strength very quickly, and soon ascended to the position of emperor of the empire. During this period, reforms continued, but there was no sign of any storm. Instead, it was like spring breeze turning into rain, subtle and quiet. .
During this period, not only did the strength of the storm giants increase steadily, but the power of the entire empire expanded rapidly. Due to the adoption of this sage's ideas, the conflicts between the non-giant races and the giant races were greatly alleviated, and they also truly became stronger in the process. Integrating into the Giant Empire can be said to have greatly enhanced the empire's heritage. It can be said that this sage may not be as prominent as the giant sages of the previous generations in the Giant Empire of Annan, but in the past few thousand years, his thoughts have been one of the most profound influences on the entire empire.
However, for some unknown reason, his thoughts and works have been handed down, but his name and even origin cannot be found.
In fact, Haller's sudden rise among the storm giants was due to the changes brought about by this sage. At that time, in order to better enhance the strength of the clan, the big clans such as Xiao and Yelu increased their support for the smaller surnames. The Harle clan took advantage of this moment to lay the foundation for their subsequent rise and accumulate strength.
Therefore, this sage's thoughts do not conform to the "storm" way, but various families and surnames still retain many narratives and records of this sage's thoughts. Even people like the Haller family would explain it to their children when they were young. Emperor Haller Dashi was already well-known in the empire for his extensive knowledge before he ascended the throne, so when Wang Yuanheng mentioned that sentence, he quickly reaction.
That sage is most likely from the Middle Earth universe!
At that time, the Middle-earth universe was still a "desert"! Haller Dashi was keenly aware of something, so he said nothing more and just handed the file to Wang Yuanheng.
I believe Wang Yuanheng will understand after watching it.
Wang Yuanheng, who was looking at the files in his room, easily recognized this unnamed sage as Laozi Li Er, the founder of the Taoist school of thought and the disseminator of Taoist thought in the history of the ancient celestial dynasties on earth.
It's just that more than 1,700 years ago, the Middle-earth universe was still an extraordinary desert. It was almost impossible to have an extremely powerful extraordinary person, let alone someone strong enough to travel alone in the infinite universe ring. You must know that although I, Li Er, came to the Giant Empire as a sage, he has become famous so quickly and is famous far and wide. It is impossible that he does not have enough strength.
In the Giant Empire, the land of Annan, or in a place like Tiktuk, if you don't have the strength, you just have to make garbled claims, and the golden lotus sprouting from the ground is useless. The giants disdain to accept the logic of the weak.
Although there is no relevant record of this, it is certain that I have defeated many giants and strong men first, so I can let these people sit down and listen. As for why his ideas were pursued by so many giants at the time, there must be other reasons. After all, the words "Nothing in the world is softer than water, and no one who attacks the strong can win, because it is impossible to conquer" is generally difficult to accept for most giants whose brains are full of muscles.
Normally, in Stromaoz, the storm giant would just say that this is not in line with the way of "storm" at all, and he would be dismissive of you. As for you saying this in front of the fire giant, he will answer you, " Water? Believe it or not, I will turn your whole body into distilled water!"
The key to the problem is not how this famous sage did it, but that something is obviously wrong with his strength. Another point is that if such a powerful extraordinary person was born on the earth and even the middle-earth universe at that time, the earth should not unfold like this.
Before the Middle-earth universe accepted the power of Kashen, the various life planets were like "relics" or "dark rivers", hidden under the yellow sand of the desert. It is difficult for outsiders to find these valuable locations, not to mention that the value of these locations is not high. Without a sufficiently spiritual and extraordinary environment, even human flesh and blood souls are no different than vegetation.
It can be said that at that time, the cost of finding, entering, and leaving these places will far exceed the value of these places.
But for a locally born extraordinary person, at least the biggest expense of finding and locating it has been reduced. So, why would such a sage of human beings on earth make the earth unable to see any traces of extraordinary beings, or even related information? No narrative record has been left.
Wang Yuanheng spent several hours carefully reviewing these files. This was already a huge investment for a person who could memorize nearly 10,000 advanced spiritual writings in two or three days. He considered every word, checked other files from time to time, and asked people to bring some files over from time to time, and finally had some guesses about the matter.
I am afraid that in addition to Lao Tzu and Li Er, there were other sages who came from the earth and even other planets in the Middle-earth universe. They did not only appear 1,700 years ago, but should have appeared at different times. However, Li Er brought a certain I just traveled to the land of Annan for some purpose.
They probably didn't forget their hometown, but more likely they couldn't go back.
But these are just Wang Yuanheng's speculations. If you want to know more, you have to follow the footsteps of Lao Tzu and Li Er. And it just so happens that the last trace of him can be found in the empire's files, which is that he disappeared in Onen!
Perhaps, all this may not be a coincidence.
