Chapter 740: Why is destiny?
Ancient books record: "The four directions above and below are called Yu, and the past and present are called Zhou."
The mystery of space and time lies in the universe.
After Ji Zhao fell asleep in the void heaven, his soul turned into white spots of light like flowers scattered by a fairy. The light spots followed the divine chain of rules that he had mastered and entered the bottom of the world.
If reality is a finished game, this is the endless underlying program.
The sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, plants, life and death, growth and decay are all born and destroyed in it.
In Ji Zhao's eyes, there are no towering mountains or surging rivers here. What exists here are only chains of rules that are flashing with various colors of divine light.
It is crisscrossed, complex but not messy, and is filled with the beauty of harmonious order.
The halo expanded along the divine chain, changing color three times in an instant.
The chaotic power around it also began to have a trajectory, with strands of tiny light paths appearing along the halo and converging towards the center.
After Ji Zhao's soul appeared here, the system sent a long-awaited message.
[The origin of the world, the mother of all things, the truth of the world, finally appears before your eyes. 】
A rare message, with a hint of emotion.
The invisible and intangible Ji Zhao extended his consciousness to explore the surrounding divine chains of rules, creating ripples like throwing a stone into the water.
His goal was to find out what the purple aura of destiny that appeared on the grassland represented.
His purpose was to find out what role the purple energy of destiny that he had offset with the heavenly artifact played.
What exactly is that mysterious call to myself?
So he came here.
People live in eternal time and space, but in the world's most basic structure, the concept of time and space was born.
Every moment here may be long or short, and time may even go back.
Time and space have no meaning here.
But Ji Zhao has to return to reality. For the Luo family, time is meaningful.
So Ji Zhao made time flow backwards, just like a river flowing eastward and never returning!
He immersed himself here, moving along each chain of rules, just like looking for a thin book in a vast library.
Ji Zhao saw people being born and dying on the divine chain of rules. These are the rules that govern life and death.
He saw people getting married and then getting divorced. This is the rule governing marriage.
What about destiny?
Ji Zhao scanned from bottom to top one by one, and finally stopped in front of a huge pillar that almost ran through the entire rule world.
He saw from above the scene when he used the heavenly grade artifact, and he saw the scene when his destiny was canceled.
What kind of destiny is that?
It represents not just the Sima family becoming the emperor, but also the decline of the Central Plains!
A piece of information entered Ji Zhao's mind.
[The general trend of the world is like the tide, rising and falling, with both prosperity and decline.
Since ancient times, there has never been a civilization that can remain isolated and prosper forever.
Since ancient times, there has never been a civilization that can prosper as long as the sun.
The development of a great civilization always goes through a process of rapid rise, numerous problems, self-doubt, reshaping of consciousness, and civilizational revival.
[The vast and desolate grasslands, the Hu people who are like weeds that can never be chopped off, Master, have you ever wondered why they can never be chopped off? ]
If it was Ji Zhao who had just traveled through time, he would naturally not be able to guess it, but the current Ji Zhao saw it very clearly.
His gaze fell on a divine chain of rules, where the process of the formation of the grassland barbarians was recorded.
How many Hu people are there on the grassland?
After 1,300 years of war, most of them should have been lost long ago, but why do they keep appearing over the years?
Because when the people from the Central Plains arrived at the grassland, they could only graze and live a nomadic life, and it would not take long for them to become Hu people.
Only the State of Yan established its country in an organized manner from the very beginning and was able to maintain its own civilizational characteristics.
Some of the thousands of light spots of Ji Zhao's incarnation began to flicker. He focused his eyes and immediately realized something.
In ethnic identification, many people hold the "one drop of blood" theory, which means that only the paternal sex chromosomes are recognized, but this statement is essentially equivalent to admitting that "your mother is gone" and "people only have reproductive organs."
From a scientific point of view, humans have 46 chromosomes, half of which will be inherited, not just the sex chromosomes.
The Y chromosome only accounts for one forty-sixth of the human body's genes, and the impact of this small part of genes on humans is minimal.
Moreover, this one forty-sixth chromosome may experience unexpected events such as exchange, deletion, and mutation during the inheritance process.
That is, the Y chromosome, which many people call eternally inherited, may also be a combination of two or more paternal lines.
All of Ji Zhao’s ideologies are, of course, the ideologies of the Huaxia or Han nationality.
But the light spots that appeared on his body proved that he subconsciously understood that he was the descendant of ethnic integration.
After hundreds of years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Han people in the Tang Dynasty were quite different from the Han people in the Han Dynasty.
Ji Zhao understood all this, but he became more calm. He seemed to be telling the whole world, and also seemed to be saying to himself: "People live in this world because of the existence of souls.
Nations exist because of cognition.
Countless time-travel historical novels are changing the Five Barbarians' Invasion, the Jingkang Shame, and the overthrow of China. Is it because they don't understand those great principles?
Because that’s what we recognize.
Just as I am a Han Chinese, I have a natural inclination. I can accept those who are willing to convert to my country, but I cannot allow forced integration through violence.
Even though the prosperous Tang Dynasty after the integration was truly at its peak, it is still my dream country.
I don’t agree with such rules!”
Ji Zhao already understood everything. He did offset the existence of destiny, but he offset the destiny of the Central Plains.
That is the destiny of the decline of the Central Plains.
This kind of offsetting of destiny is not as simple as the Sima family not becoming emperor. After all, the world today is very different. Even if the Sima family usurps the throne, it will not cause such great harm.
Even man-made disasters can be solved by countless kind-hearted people with lofty ideals in the world.
The real function of the heavenly artifact is to avoid many natural disasters that are about to happen.
According to the operation of the world mechanism, natural disasters occurred at the end of the dynasty.
Today, the Central Plains is experiencing thunder and lightning, floods and droughts, continuous snowfall in the north, earthworms raging everywhere, and even rampant plagues, with only one in ten people left alive.
No matter how talented you are, you cannot solve such a natural disaster.
Even the Luo family can't handle this kind of thing.
This is not intentional on the part of the world mechanism, but it happens every few hundred years.
In the land of Zhuxia, there has never been a year without disasters since ancient times.
Disasters occur in clusters every few hundred years.
For example, during the famous Chongzhen period, what did it mean to be on the verge of national demise?
If there are a large number of natural disasters every year, that is the sign of a country's demise.
After learning all this, Ji Zhao knew that this heavenly grade artifact was well worth using.
As long as we can reduce natural disasters by half, the entire world will be protected to a great extent.
But that’s not enough.
[The Heavenly Grade Artifact is extremely precious, please do not use it again. 】
The system suddenly sent out a message in this tone which was rare.
Ji Zhao knew why.
Since the early Han Dynasty, there have been two Mandates of Heaven, one with the early Han Dynasty and the other with the Xiongnu.
The Mandate of Heaven of the Early Han Dynasty prospered greatly, creating one of the most prosperous and longest-lasting heydays in the history of the Chinese nation, and it has benefited people to this day.
The Huns' destiny was hit repeatedly.
Starting from Luo Ling and Han Xin, all the way to people with great luck like Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing, and finally Luo Shi paid the price with his life.
Vanish into thin air!
What exactly is the grassland’s destiny?
That is Hu Yun Changsheng!
The Hu people must gradually transform from savages who eat fur and blood into a truly civilized country.
Of course, this civilizational leap is based on the civilization of the Xia Dynasty.
This destiny should have flourished long ago, but it was suppressed for two hundred years. Then it collided head-on with the era when the grassland destiny was truly flourishing.
This destiny has been brewing for too long, and the power contained in it will be devastating.
Destiny has many ways to make the grassland quickly strong.
For example, there will be endless talented people appearing like mushrooms after rain.
There are many super talents among the Hu people, both civil officials and military generals, and Ji Zhao does not deny this.
It is for this reason that the system is worried that Ji Zhao will use the heavenly items again, because on the surface, other than this method, there is no other way to stop the rise of the grassland.
But Ji Zhao didn't think so.
On the surface, the grassland has destiny, but the Central Plains does not, which is equivalent to the grassland cheating and the Central Plains fighting.
Especially now that the princes in the Central Plains are fighting each other, it is a dream to want to work together to conquer the grassland.
The Central Plains was further weakened.
But Ji Zhao did not think that Zhongyuan would lose, because there was Luo family in Zhongyuan.
Even if the grassland has activated the destiny cheat, the Central Plains has always had the Luo cheat. If they cheat against each other, it is still uncertain who will win or lose.
Fate cannot be violated, but the Luo family can defy it as long as they pay enough sacrifices and blood.
And Ji Zhao himself.
He has more important things to do!
He understood the rules of the grassland destiny, but as he had said before, he did not agree with this bloody way of ethnic integration.
The destiny of the late Han Dynasty had already come. He could not reverse the fate of the world and could only let the Luo family withstand whatever was to come.
But the past cannot be changed, but the future can be changed. There will be two real collapses of China in the future. That will be the downfall of heaven and the disaster of civilization.
After the Northern and Southern Dynasties came the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was culturally prosperous, extremely tolerant, and extremely feudal. But what about the other two times?
Darkness, ignorance, backwardness, it is no exaggeration to attribute all negative comments to it.
How could Ji Zhao just watch all this happen in the future?
Do I have to use a heavenly artifact to make changes every time?
Then the number of heavenly grade artifacts in his hands might not be enough, so he can only solve the problem from the root.
Ji Zhao's gaze fell on a pillar of rules that reached from heaven to earth. It was the Pillar of Destiny. It stood majestically in the world of rules, like a pillar of heaven supporting the world.
Above the Sky Pillar, there are countless regular patterns flashing with five-colored divine light. Countless words emitting yellow, blue and red light are flying up and down around the Sky Pillar, passing in and out, like butterflies dancing among flowers.
The rules of the grassland's destiny are on this pillar. All real developments are based on these rules. If this pillar disappears, the grassland's destiny will disappear.
It's like a law that stipulates that killing someone means paying with one's life, so if someone kills someone and is caught, the person will die. But now the law has disappeared, so if someone kills someone, there's no need to put them to death.
As long as the rules for the grassland's destiny to rise exist, the grassland must rise again and again to fulfill the mission assigned to it by the rules.
But if this rule disappears, it will be like the Central Plains now without the Mandate of Heaven, where everyone relies on their own abilities.
This kind of atmosphere where everyone relies on their own ability is what Ji Zhao has been creating all along. If Zhongyuan can still lose even if everyone relies on their own ability, then the Luo family will be a joke.
Once Ji Zhao made up his mind, he would implement it immediately. He didn't know when he could break this rule.
Endless divine light burst out from the depths of his soul, and then the world of rules began to shake slowly. Ji Zhao felt that his own origin was trembling.
Then, the sky fell!
Ji Zhao hadn't seen the sky descend for a long time. The sky didn't show any emotion at all. It just sent a message to Ji Zhao, that is, if the pillar of sky collapsed, the whole world would collapse.
Especially now that the world is still in the process of development, pulling out the pillars of heaven is like pulling out the human spine, and there is no other outcome except death.
God did not lie!
But Ji Zhao had a feeling that the result would not be as bad as the heaven said.
Then another message came from heaven.
I see!
Ji Zhao finally understood the contradictory yet reasonable reasons.
In ancient legends, Mount Buzhou supported the sky, but Gonggong broke Mount Buzhou, causing the heaven and earth to collapse, just like Ji Zhao's attempt to destroy the pillar of heaven.
Nuwa, the goddess of creation, repaired the sky, and then used the black turtle's limbs to prop up the sky again, so that heaven and earth were balanced again.
It’s not that the Tianzhu cannot be removed, but it needs a new support.
In this world where I am the only one who can rule the world, who else besides Ji Zhao is qualified to support the entire world?
This is the message that heaven conveyed to Ji Zhao.
If Ji Zhao wants to change the future that he does not want to see, he must become a part of the world and become the pillar of heaven and earth.
He will be subject to more restrictions, and it will really depend on whether his descendants are trustworthy.
What choice will Ji Zhao make?
Without any thought at all, Ji Zhao's soul followed his subconscious and turned into a ray of light and plunged into the pillar of heaven.
Human beings exist because of consciousness.
Whatever I want, I am willing to give everything for it.
The moment Ji Zhao threw himself into the Pillar of Heaven, the will of heaven slowly dissipated and the Pillar of Heaven began to shake wildly.
【The Tao is equal to heaven, the body is united with the Tao, the most honorable and noble, from this point on it flourishes. 】
The sound of the system is no longer mechanical, but is filled with the sound of Tao, as if coming from the depths of antiquity.
"I see, I see. This is the path I should have taken in the second millennium. I almost missed it."
Ji Zhao's laughter could be heard from the darkness. He hadn't laughed so happily in a long time.
