It is a small miracle that such a small place could give birth to an immortal.
Similar to later generations, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, the universe outside the earth was still completely desolate and there was no other planet with life.
Human beings on earth are still alone.
This is a bit abnormal. A universe should not give birth to only one planet. This goes against the order of the operation of the universe.
Not only did the time on Earth freeze, but the entire universe came to a standstill due to the battle above.
The meteors stopped in the starry sky, the planets stopped rotating, the stars stopped "burning", and the entire universe was stopped in time.
While paying attention to the battlefield in the Realm of Destiny, Zhou Qing was sensing the earth of this era. All the territories were in his sight, and he soon found a place worthy of attention.
At this time on Earth, there were many famous mountains, rivers, and blessed places. What attracted Zhou Qing was Mount Kunlun, which is known as the hometown of all gods and the ancestor of all mountains.
On Mount Kunlun, there grows a giant tree that reaches from the sky to the earth.
The tree is rooted in Kunlun, but it extends into layer and dimension after dimension, and its actual size is much larger than it appears.
Its branches pass through various dimensions and spread across the universe and the starry sky, extracting certain special substances from each star field and feeding them back to itself to supply itself.
This is a tree as vast as the universe. To be honest, its size has already exceeded the level that the cultivation world on Earth should have.
Such a sacred tree should appear in the void, like the original world tree, or appear in the fairyland of the destiny period, rather than on a tiny place like the earth.
A true dragon cannot be raised in shallow water, and there should not be such a sacred tree in such a world.
And when looking at this sacred tree from a distance, Zhou Qing also felt a sense of insignificance, like a mayfly in the blue sky. This shows how lofty the essence of this tree is.
At the top of the giant tree, there hangs a round, fist-sized fruit.
This fruit is covered with circular patterns and is emerald green in color overall, while its surface is coated with a layer of gold.
This fruit is extremely special. After the entire universe came to a standstill, the lapis lazuli fruit was still shaking gently, bringing up a breeze.
The battle in the realm of destiny had no effect on this fruit!
Could this fruit be the reason why those people were fighting? What is it? Zhou Qing glanced at the battlefield in the sky. He didn't dare to get close to it, fearing that he would be affected.
The golden finger said that people and things in history would not affect him, but Zhou Qing had the golden finger for decades, and he knew the characteristics of this thing very well.
The golden finger is not omnipotent. It also has its limits, and this limit is closely related to Zhou Qing's own realm.
The gap between Zhou Qing in Yuan Realm and the unimaginable beings who carry the destiny is too huge.
In addition, Zhou Qing did not think that the golden finger could be stronger than the destiny realm. Such a thing simply did not exist in the world.
Therefore, if one relies on the existence of the golden finger and acts recklessly, daring to interfere in the battles of those who bear the destiny, then he is truly courting death.
What's more, this battle takes place in the realm of destiny, not in the real world. Even if Zhou Qing is bold enough to participate, he cannot reach the battlefield because he is far away from it.
It was precisely because the two were not in the same place that Zhou Qing had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Zhou Qing arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. As he got closer, he found that the sacred tree looked even more majestic, emitting an eternal and timeless Taoist charm.
Zhou Qing rose into the air and came to the side of the lapis lazuli fruit. This fruit was very special. Just by looking at the circular patterns on it, many mysteries of the avenue emerged in people's minds, which was intoxicating.
At the same time, one can see that inside this fruit, there are shadows of the heavens, all spirits are multiplying, and the avenue is shining.
A fruit seems to carry another void.
Treasure.
Zhou Qing was extremely certain in his heart that this was definitely a treasure.
He did not try to pick the fruit because it belonged to the end of the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Qing could not touch it at all.
But Zhou Qing felt that this thing was most likely the cause of the Destiny War. After all, looking at the entire world, this was the only thing that was unique.
"What is this?" Zhou Qing was a little confused, but unfortunately no one could answer him.
Zhou Qing carefully sensed the underlying rules of the Great Dao at this time and confirmed one thing. When this battle of destiny broke out, it was still the Taiyi Era. At this time, Daoist Master Xuanhuang had not yet taken on the destiny and opened up a new era.
Every time someone carries the destiny and opens up a new era, the great ways of the heavens will be reorganized with his way as the core, and the underlying rules will change drastically.
For the strong, the difference between eras is still very obvious.
Zhou Qing had always experienced the great rules of the Xuanhuang Ji before, and the difference between the rules of heaven and earth at this moment could not be hidden from him.
The Zhou Dynasty period after this war was already the Xuanhuang period.
"No wonder the Xuanhuang Seal has never appeared in this battle. That person is unable to bear the destiny at this time and cannot participate in such a battle at all. The Xuanhuang Seal has not yet been able to transform into a soldier of destiny."
Zhou Qing was a little puzzled. If that was the case, why did it turn out that in the end, only the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal could open this place?
"After this battle, the era changed. Could it be that one of them got the biggest benefit? That's not right. This kind of thing is totally impossible."
How could a person who did not carry the destiny take advantage of the situation when the people in the destiny realm were watching him covetously? The gap between the two sides was so huge that it was unimaginable. It was impossible for such a thing as picking up a bargain to happen.
It's like a martial artist at the Flesh Realm wanting to take advantage of something right under Zhou Qing's nose. How could that be possible?
After thinking about it, Zhou Qing continued to move towards the ancient history. He wanted to see when those who carried the destiny left traces here.
No one knows when the battle of destiny will end. The time in the universe has stagnated. Even if those people fight for an era of destiny, not a second will pass here.
But the problem is that Zhou Qing did not fall into stagnation, and his time would continue to pass.
Because of the stagnation of time and space here, Zhou Qing was unable to go to the time when the war ended and directly check the results.
Instead of waiting here, it is better to move forward. This is an option that can help him solve more doubts.
[Historical Ghost] is indeed very powerful. Even if the long river of time is broken, it can allow Zhou Qing to continue moving forward and travel unimpeded through history.
Before the great war at the end of the Shang Dynasty, the earth was peaceful and tranquil. Not only the Shang Dynasty, but other continents also had their own civilizations. Later generations did not discover all of the history.
At the same time, Zhou Qing also discovered that the world before the war had been isolated from the void and had no contact with each other.
And in the history before the war, there were also traces of those who carried the destiny.
The Three Pure Ones, the Human Emperor, the Queen Nuwa, and so on, each great name is spread in this world, and there are even Taoist traditions passed down from them.
However, judging from the historical scenes, these people who carry the destiny had never really come to this world before. The Taoist traditions passed down from them were inspired by the native creatures of the earth and were granted inheritance through the air.
The war at the end of the Shang Dynasty was the only time they showed up. Before that, they only exerted influence on the world in secret.
Zhou Qing could still tell whether those who carried the destiny had appeared but could not be seen in history because of their characteristics, or whether they had never appeared at all.
Zhou Qing continued to go against history. The layouts of those who carried the destiny could be seen everywhere on the earth. The universe and starry sky outside the earth were always lonely, but the sacred tree on Mount Kunlun remained standing.
It is worth mentioning that before the end of the Shang Dynasty, the fruit of the sacred tree was still green, but the golden glow on the surface was gone.
Zhou Qing guessed that the golden glow was a sign that the fruit was ripe and ready to be picked, and it was also the fuse for the outbreak of the war.
The older the time is, the better the cultivation environment on Earth is, and there are also practitioners who have reached the realm of destiny. Of course, this place will also be affected by the cycle of destiny.
After a long period of history, Zhou Qing has confirmed one thing.
The fundamental reason why the environment of this world continues to deteriorate irreversibly is that the Kunlun Sacred Tree continues to grow.
The Kunlun Sacred Tree might be a treasure worthy of those who bear the destiny fighting for, but to this world, it is a complete "worm".
Later, the isolation between the Earth world and the nothingness and void was very thorough. The connection was directly cut off from the level of the Avenue, and it was completely independent of the nothingness and void. Even the flow of time was distorted to the extreme.
At this time, the speed of time flow in the Earth world is unified with the void.
The most crucial thing is that at this time there is no trace of the bearer of destiny on the earth, but the Kunlun sacred tree still exists, and its size is only slightly different from that in the late Shang Dynasty.
The Earth during this period was very powerful as a whole. There were even two Heavenly Lords guarding the world, and they had been guarding the Kunlun Sacred Tree.
Anyone can tell that this sacred tree is a treasure.
This was already a very ancient era. When Zhou Qing was born, there was no record of this era at all. It was like a completely different world.
Zhou Qing's heart moved, realizing that this time point should be the source of all subsequent changes.
After realizing this, Zhou Qing perked up and observed the earth carefully.
At a certain moment, two Heavenly Lords who were cultivating in Kunlun Mountain on Earth suddenly walked out of their caves. They looked towards an empty place with a vigilant look in their eyes and said:
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"It is too offensive for Daoist friend to intrude into my realm without reason."
Zhou Qing's spirits lifted. He knew that a person who carried the destiny had appeared at this time, and this person should be Xuanhuang Daozun.
Because during this period, the other Destiny Realms had disappeared, and they had not yet paid attention to the Earth, so it was impossible for them to appear here.
Only Xuanhuang Daozun, who would later successfully carry the Mandate of Heaven, would come here. At this time, he had not yet reached that stage and could move freely among the heavens.
As long as you can carry the destiny, no period of your life can be seen in history. Even the most fragile infancy will disappear, completely transcending time and history.
The invisible Xuanhuang Taoist Master seemed to say something, but Zhou Qing could not hear it. This is also one of the characteristics of the Heavenly Fate Realm, both sound and shape disappear.
But the expressions of the two Heavenly Lords of Kunlun Mountain changed, and one of them asked, "The Tree of Destiny, the Fruit of Destiny? Daoist friend, do you know the Kunlun Sacred Tree?"
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. The Destiny Fruit, was it referring to the Green Gold Fruit? To be determined by destiny, one must be extraordinary.
The next moment, the bodies of the two Heavenly Lords suddenly disappeared. It was Dao Lord Xuanhuang who attacked them.
These two Heavenly Lords only left three words before they died: "You are the Tao..."
The two Heavenly Lords had never met each other before and had no hatred or grudge against each other, but they ended up killing each other without any hesitation. This one was really ruthless and decisive.
Zhou Qing was silent. It seemed that the Taoist Master Xuanhuang who came here had already achieved the status of Taoist Master. It was just that the two Heavenly Masters did not notice it just now, otherwise they would definitely not address him as Taoist fellows.
This is the gap between Chunyang God, Zhenwu Saint and Dao Lord. If the latter has murderous intentions, the former will have no room to resist and it will be impossible for them to escape.
After the death of the two Heavenly Lords of Kunlun Mountain, Zhou Qing had no idea what Xuanhuang Daozun had done here, as he could not see the other party's existence at all.
Three years after Xuanhuang Daozun discovered this place, some people on Earth were inspired and established a force related to those who carried the destiny, and at the same time began to fight around Kunlun Mountain.
At this point, Zhou Qing was completely certain that their target was the Fruit of Destiny on the Tree of Destiny.
Zhou Qing didn’t know how those bearers of destiny who had disappeared for a long time discovered this thing, but it should be related to Taoist Xuanhuang.
Before Xuanhuang Daozun came to Earth, the Destiny Fruit had already grown for a long time without any problems. He has only been here for three years, and it has become like this. No matter how you think about it, it must be related to him.
It should be that Daoist Master Xuanhuang did something that made those who disappeared in the Tianming Realm notice it.
It was also after the traces of the first bearer of destiny appeared that the earth was isolated from the void and entered a secret state.
From this, we can infer that the power that isolates the earth does come from those unspeakable great figures.
After the Fruit of Destiny was discovered by the One Who Carries Destiny, Xuanhuang Daozun's initial plan to take it for himself was thwarted.
But he did not leave and stayed on Earth. Even though he could not be seen, Zhou Qing could determine his location based on the reactions of the creatures on Earth.
This Taoist Master seemed unwilling to lose the Fruit of Destiny and wanted to continue waiting to see if there was any chance.
From a rational point of view, such waiting would only be a futile effort. Who could snatch food from the mouth of the bearer of destiny? But judging from the results, Xuanhuang Daozun really gained something.
Zhou Qing continued to move forward. He witnessed the growth of the Tree of Destiny, and at the same time he discovered something very strange.
Before Xuanhuang Daozun arrived on Earth, although this world was not isolated from the void, very few outsiders came here, and there might not be one in an era.
Many people have left the earth, but basically none of them have come back.
Even in the years when the Destiny Realm was not hiding here, this world seemed to be in a state of no one caring about it.
Zhou Qing went upstream for an extremely long time, watching the Tree of Destiny slowly shrink.
Finally, at the beginning of the Taiyi Era, Zhou Qing saw the origin of the Tree of Destiny.
A new era began, and a small green dot suddenly appeared in the sky above Kunlun Mountain. Upon closer inspection, it was found to be a seed.
No one knew where the seed came from, and Zhou Qing couldn't trace its source. It fell on Kunlun Mountain, merged into the soil, and then began to take root, sprout, and grow slowly.
After that, it was the growth process of the Tree of Destiny, which Zhou Qing had witnessed in its entirety.
Before this seed fell on Kunlun Mountain, the world where the Earth existed was actually normal.
In addition to the Earth, there are still other planets with life in the universe, where creatures of all races multiply, practice and compete with each other.
Even outside the Earth's universe, there are many universes. This big world has a diverse structure and is full of powerful people.
Moreover, the communication between this world and the void at this time still existed intermittently, unlike in later generations where it was almost hidden from the world.
When the Destiny Tree species grew to a certain size, its branches extended into other starry skies and other universes, and began to absorb certain substances as its own nutrients, which led to the collapse of the multiverse, and other life planets in the starry sky gradually lost their vitality.
Eventually, the Earth became the only planet with life.
If it had not fallen on Kunlun Mountain but on other planets, then the Earth would have probably become a dead star.
The growth history of this tree of destiny is the history of the destruction of the world where the earth lives. It brings eternal and irreversible harm to the world.
Zhou Qing stopped at the moment when the Destiny Tree species appeared and did not continue to move towards more ancient history.
What the world was like before was meaningless to Zhou Qing. All he needed to know was the relevant information about the Tree of Destiny.
Afterwards, Zhou Qing went downstream along the long river of time while sorting out the information he had obtained this time.
"At the beginning of the Taiyi Era, for unknown reasons, the mysterious Destiny Tree fell on Kunlun Mountain in an undetectable way. Over the long years, it devoured the multiverse. When it grew to its limit, it produced the Destiny Fruit."
"This is a very precious thing, and the one who carries the destiny also desires it, but the destiny fruit was discovered by Xuanhuang Daozun first."
"Because Dao Zun Xuan Huang did something that I don't understand yet, the existence of the Destiny Fruit was discovered by other people in the Destiny Realm. Those people have made arrangements on Earth to prepare for the fight for the Destiny Fruit. At the same time, they have taken the Earth world out of the void to prevent anyone from discovering it."
"In the late Shang Dynasty in the history of the Central Plains, the Destiny Fruit matured, and a battle broke out over this fruit. Many bearers of the Destiny fought each other, and even the Three Pure Ones turned against each other. Perhaps this was the fuse for the separation of the Three Pure Ones Taoist Palace."
"It's just that in the end, this battle for the fruit seemed to have benefited Xuan Huang Dao Zun, who had stayed on Earth the whole time."
"Even his ability to carry destiny may be related to this matter."
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing felt warm in his heart.
He also wants to eat this kind of fruit!
