Chapter 391: Tracing the Origin (1 Million Words)

Originally, looking back to the past was just a drama-watching mode, which happens to be very close to the current state.

Chu Ge slowly recalled the past of Qiuqiu's autobiography, and suddenly wondered in his heart, could the current state of watching the drama be caused by a subtle deviation in the time and space axis?

Or is the separation of the heavens the reason?

Forget it. I won’t think about it for now. I’d better look back on the past first.

Since Qiuqiu in the future said that, then the solution must be found here. In such a short time in the future, Qiuqiu didn't say anything else, but just said this sentence, which is definitely the most important thing.

The past... the further the better...

Chu Ge stared in a daze at the young Qiu Wuji playing on the edge of the field in the picture.

Xiao Qiuqiu is so cute, with delicate skin and tender flesh that makes people want to take a bite. She is really a natural beauty... Uh, no, why am I thinking about these things.

Think about business.

Qiu Wuji lived for ten thousand years, and according to the setting, the time when the Four Symbols ascended to form the four poles of the heaven was also ten thousand years ago.

The basic meaning is that the background is set and the heroine is born.

Qiu Wuji's autobiography was written from her childhood, which means that when the autobiography started, the Four Symbols had only been ascending for a few years. So Qiu Wuji's reason for going back to the past was definitely not to see how cute she was as a child, but to see the clues of the Four Symbols' ascension.

It must be so!

However, even the author himself does not know where the Four Symbols ascended to heaven. It is just a background setting. Where can we find traces?

The first person Chu Ge thought of was Azure Dragon. The Ten Thousand Snakes Cave where Azure Dragon shed its scales was a place he was relatively familiar with. It was here that Qiu Wuji fought against the Poisonous Hand Demon Lord when he first tried to defy fate.

The place where the Azure Dragon ascends may not be where it sheds its scales, but this is the most direct clue that can be found at present.

Moreover, the present world is most directly related to Azure Dragon, so it would definitely be right to start looking from Azure Dragon.

Chu Ge reluctantly gave up the delicate little girl Qiuqiu in front of him and tried to turn his attention to the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave tens of thousands of miles away.

Fortunately, I was able to move my eyes over there.

The world ten thousand years ago was not as changed as it is now, and the limitations on observation were not so obvious, so it was still relatively free.

But conversely, the "realism" of the world ten thousand years ago was not quite enough.

The most obvious manifestation is that the Ten Thousand Snake Cave looks almost the same ten thousand years ago and ten thousand years later, even the weeds are no different. That is, the way of heaven has set it to look the same, and there will be no natural changes.

This original ecological world, which is presented completely in accordance with the settings of the Way of Heaven, is most suitable for Chu Ge to perform.

He found that he could stretch his perspective at will and observe the shed scale floating above the Falling Dragon Pond from close range.

I had never observed it carefully before and just treated it as a mission prop. Now, observing it closely, I could see dark red bloodstains on its scales, which contained the same aura as the dragon bones of the East China Sea.

In the setting, Qinglong fell due to poisoning, forced the poison out here, and left after that, leaving behind a piece of shed scales to suppress the poison pool. Later, Chu Tiange found clues and reported to the sect, and Qiu Wuji came to take the scales, which became an early copy story.

In fact, this setting is not very reasonable when examined in detail. It is just an explanation for why there are residual items of the Four Symbols in the human world, but this explanation does not tell "how the Azure Dragon was poisoned, who he fought with", and how the fangs, feathers and carapaces of the other three sacred beasts were left behind, and who did they fight with that caused their teeth to fall out?

I haven't written it before. It's just a background wall of an online novel. Who would think so much about it? No reader would care about this!

But at this moment, it seems to be a clue.

The blood on the scales was Qinglong's own! There was no trace of any other power left here.

If they are useless scales that have fallen off, why are they bloody?

If it was injured and fell off by someone, with such a powerful force entangled with the Azure Dragon, it would not have disappeared without a trace in just a few years. There must have been signs of entanglement, but there are none.

There is probably only one explanation...

Poisoning and bloodstains are actually two different things...

Originally, it was just poisoning, forced poison, and shedding scales to suppress it, which had nothing to do with blood, so naturally there was no entanglement of other forces. The bloodstains were splashed later!

Chu Ge's mind gradually sank into his blood, and a broken dimension like the void of the universe seemed to appear in front of him. Qinglong ascended from the human world and shuttled through it. His flesh and blood were torn apart by the violent force, and blood splattered everywhere, scattering into nothingness.

One drop of blood was attracted by the scales that had remained in the human world and attached to them. The rest of the blood had long since dissipated into the void, leaving no trace.

Then the flesh and blood began to crumble, and before passing through this chaotic space, only a skeleton was left.

The moment it finally broke through, even parts of its skeleton were broken and scattered, entering various countries in East Asia.

The entire skeleton fell in a corner of the East China Sea, and it was unknown how many miles deep into the seabed.

On this day, there was a tsunami along the coast and an earthquake on the island country...

Threads of spiritual energy began to overflow from the bottom of the sea, coming from nowhere.

Chu Ge's mind suddenly returned, and before his eyes were still the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, the Falling Dragon Pool, and the Azure Dragon Scales.

There was a hint of cold sweat on his forehead. The scene just now was too shocking. The boundless void of the universe, the violent and chaotic space turbulence, the powerful Azure Dragon that made it suffocating was like a small snake in it, being dismembered and broken without any resistance, and the shrill wailing resounded through the void, spreading for tens of thousands of miles.

Chu Ge was certain that that roar alone was enough to shock all living creatures in the human world to death.

This is one of the reasons why the earth and the sky are connected. The difference in power levels is too great, and the ladder from low to high and the meaning of the existence of basic society are lost, so it is necessary to divide the human world and the heaven. This is his thinking as an author. Who knows that it will become the basis for the independence of the Emperor of Heaven?

Now it can be determined that the blood on the shed scales was splashed when Qinglong traveled through time. So the question is, who poisoned him before?

In fact, these are all flaws in the setting... Who said that the world's flaws have been repaired?

There are flaws everywhere.

You wrote about poisoning, but did not write why you were poisoned; you wrote that the white tiger had fangs in the East Continent, that the Vermillion Bird's fire feathers were with Little Flame, and that the black tortoise's carapace was in the Yunji Sect, but you did not write why or where they came from. You let the world evolve on its own, which means that there are a lot of things that are beyond your knowledge, and you are not an omniscient god at all.

If the falling of these parts was related to the Emperor of Heaven, does it mean that he knew the meaning of the Four Symbols and the origin of the heaven very early on?

He can have other parts on his body to construct his Four Poles, and there is no need for the Four Symbols to ascend!

Just as the Emperor of Heaven said, he "has only done this one thing for ten thousand years."

His actions had begun ten thousand years ago, and were not something that happened now...

And what was the corresponding time in the present world ten thousand years ago?

Did it start when I started writing the main text? Or did it start earlier when I was making the outline? Or even earlier... when I was practicing writing other books and had vaguely conceived the ideas for this book?

If it is the last one, then it really feels like all the clues in and outside the book are connected.

But it seems to be of no help in solving the current dilemma?

The question now is how to regain control of the world. What is the key link to this problem? What elements do we need to find from these past events?

"I understand..." Chu Ge suddenly whispered to himself: "The Emperor of Heaven used the other parts of the Four Sacred Beasts to construct the Four Poles of Heaven, so he had to exile the Four Sacred Beasts to other universes and lose their relationship with each other in order to achieve his independence. But he did not expect that the Four Sacred Beasts appeared in my world because of my attraction... It was also for this reason that he discovered the existence of the present world very early..."

"He colluded with Sandro's sect and searched for the Four Symbols, so Sandro knew that it was the Azure Dragon... More importantly, he was looking for me... The so-called search for the source of spiritual energy does not refer to the Four Sacred Beasts at all, it refers to me..."

"As for how to regain control of the world... I can't think of a shortcut for now, but there is at least one stupid way that is certain... If we can gather the four sacred beasts together, then we will definitely be able to do it!"
