Now, as long as Yu Wuwei is in the restaurant, he can enter and leave the heaven as he pleases. He no longer has to wait for a fixed time every day to go back and forth, and he doesn't have to sleep in between like before he became an immortal.
Yu Wuwei's mind moved, and the area around the restaurant was covered by golden light. Within a few seconds, he arrived in heaven again.
When he arrived in the heaven, Yu Wuwei felt something unusual here. He always felt that the place was filled with a heavy atmosphere, which made him very uncomfortable.
On weekdays, whenever he arrived here, there would always be a group of gods around him happily doing various activities, such as watching movies or singing karaoke. There were often children playing football on the football field in front, not to mention the basketball court in the back. There were many young people in heaven.
Although he came a little earlier than usual today, the heaven shouldn't be so quiet, right?
There was no one in sight. Even when he scanned with his spiritual sense, he did not find a single living creature in his territory.
This is not right. I didn’t come that day. What happened in heaven?
Yu Wuwei released his spiritual sense and continued to scan far away, and finally saw a familiar figure fifty miles away, it was the God of Food.
The God of Cookery looked solemn at this moment, no longer as relaxed and at ease as usual.
Fortunately, I became an immortal, and there is no invisible barrier preventing me from leaving.
Yu Wuwei's mind moved, and he flashed in front of the God of Food.
The God of Food heard the commotion and turned around to see that it was the Nameless Immortal. He quickly bowed respectfully and said, "My humble servant greets you, Immortal! You are here a little earlier than usual today!"
Yu Wuwei waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite! Tell me, why has the Heaven become like this after not seeing it for just one day? It's so solemn, has something big happened? Where have all those gods gone?"
Upon hearing this, the God of Food's face turned grave, and he said, "Your Excellency, you may not know that disaster is imminent for the Three Realms!"
Yu Wuwei didn't frown when he heard this, and said, "Misfortune? What misfortune?"
The God of Food stroked his beard and said, "This is a long story! Does the Immortal know the history of this Heavenly Court?"
Yu Wuwei shook his head and said, "You know I traveled the heavens countless years ago and only returned recently. There was no Heavenly Court at that time, so naturally I don't know its history!"
The God of Cookery nodded and began to explain to Yu Wuwei: "Legend has it that before the creation of heaven and earth, chaos gave rise to yin and yang, which transformed into two supreme saints - Pangu the Great Sage and Hongjun the Patriarch!"
"The Great Sage Pangu is of the Yang element, controlling the power of life and leading to creation. He later gave rise to all things and was honored by the gods of the Three Realms as the Supreme God of Creation. The Patriarch Hongjun is of the Yin element, controlling the power of death and leading to destruction. He later protected the celestial sphere and was honored by the gods of the Three Realms as the Supreme God of Protection."
Yu Wuwei nodded and didn't say much, just listened with interest. Although he had heard many myths circulating in the mortal world, those were not based on facts, and he really didn't understand much about the affairs of heaven and earth.
The God of Cookery continued, "In ancient times, after Pangu created the heavens, he used himself as a guide to transform the heavens and earth, giving rise to all things. Later, the spiritual energy was finally guided by Pangu's blood essence, which led to the Three Sovereigns creating the world, flourishing civilization, and the multiplication of various races, ushering in an era of civilized creation."
"Ancestor Hongjun used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to guide the Three Pure Ones, took them in as disciples, and made them the guardians of the Three Realms, while he himself traveled around heaven and earth."
"From then on, all the gods revered the Three Sovereigns as the gods of creation, and the Three Pure Ones as the guardian gods. Heaven and earth were ruled by six quasi-saints! The Three Sovereigns created the world and educated all things, while the Three Pure Ones descended to earth to teach and impart knowledge."
"Later, as myriad races multiplied and flourished, the Three Realms prospered, and the number of living beings increased, racial conflicts erupted and disputes continued."
"The Three Sovereigns and the Three Pure Ones sought to end war and educate the world. They held the First Conferred God Ceremony, selecting the Five Emperors from the mortal world to rule the world. They were flanked by heavenly generals, who would be supported by various gods and immortals. Those with great fortune and merit could also be commended by the heavens and be enthroned as gods, to educate the people. This Conferred God Ceremony established the Heavenly Court, established Heavenly Principles, and formed laws. Heavenly Court's rule gradually took shape."
"Among them, the Jade Emperor of Zhongtian is revered as the chief of all gods and the Lord of Heaven. He sits in the Lingxiao Palace of Heaven, and the other four great emperors assist him and provide him with instructions."
"This is the origin of the original structure of the Heavenly Palace!"
Yu Wuwei touched his chin in surprise. So this is how the Heavenly Palace came about. If the God of Food hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have known.
The God of Cookery obviously had no idea what Yu Wuwei was thinking: "It's just that in later generations, the myriad races multiplied too much, and the number of immortals in the Heavenly Court was limited, so it was difficult to turn around. Therefore, the Jade Emperor asked the Three Sovereigns and the Three Pure Ones to confer the gods, and this is how the Second Conferment of Gods came about."
"After this Conferred God Conferment, the Immortal Class will be arranged, with capable individuals filling the ranks, each fulfilling their duties, thus completing the basic perfection of the Heavenly Court. From this point on, the Three Sovereigns will retire, and the Three Pure Ones will retreat."
The God of Food then looked at Yu Wuwei again and asked, "Sir, do you understand the separation between heaven and earth, and between immortals and mortals?"
Yu Wuwei nodded and said, "I see that the entire mortal world is sealed by a peerless forbidden formation. I guess this is what you call the separation between immortals and mortals!"
The God of Food nodded and said, "That's it! During the Second Conferred God Ceremony, the conflict between Chan and Jie led to discord among the gods in Heaven, which weakened the power of Heaven and greatly changed the situation in the mortal world."
"Later, at Mount Lingshan in the West, the Western gods began to preach in all directions, which gradually caused disputes among the three groups of immortals! As a result, miracles ceased to appear, and mortals no longer believed in or respected the gods. This eventually led to something called the Industrial Revolution!"
"The three parties have been interfering with each other for hundreds of years, allowing the demons outside the Three Realms to take advantage of the situation and infiltrate, causing disasters in the mortal world."
"The demons bewitched people, magnifying their desires, leading to a world war in the mortal world. This, coupled with the industrial revolution that wreaked havoc on the environment, ultimately left the human world in ruins, a loss of spiritual energy, and the advent of the Dharma Ending Age."
"The three immortals realized the seriousness of the problem and finally abandoned their front lines to unite and resist the demons together."
"A great war between gods and demons has caused the ecological imbalance of the mortal world and the near depletion of spiritual energy. The high-ranking gods and immortals have once again realized the seriousness of the problem. The mortal world is the foundation of the Three Realms. If the fighting continues, not only will the mortal world be destroyed, but the Three Realms will also collapse."
"Finally, they made up their minds and had several Quasi-Saints work together to cast the Heaven-Locking Formation, sealing off the mortal world and separating the immortals from the mortals, preventing any further contact!"
"Because the Mortal Realm is the node connecting the Three Realms to the other realms, after it was sealed off, the demons could no longer enter, and the immortals could no longer descend to the mortal realm. The two sides were separated, and finally, they lived in peace until now!"
Yu Wuwei finally understood. He had some guesses after seeing the great formation in the mortal world after becoming an immortal. Now it seems that even though it is slightly different from what he expected, it is roughly the same.
The Three Realms are indeed not peaceful.
"So, the catastrophe you just mentioned is probably related to the demons? Could it be that there's something wrong with the Heaven-Locking Formation, causing the demons to reappear?"
