Chapter 1790 Myth Watershed
"Why?" Li Xuan asked in confusion.
"What do you think is the biggest disaster for mankind after the advent of the other dimension?" Jing Daoxian asked with a smile.
"Of course it's those terrifying extra-dimensional creatures." Li Xuan said as a matter of course.
"You are really too young." Jing Daoxian curled his lips.
"Stop pretending. What else could it be but an extra-dimensional creature?" Li Xuan retorted unconvinced.
Jing Daoxian glanced at Li Xuan, narrowed his eyes, and said, "If two countries went to war and your relatives were killed, would you find it harder to accept that your relatives were killed by the enemy or by their own betrayal?"
Li Xuan was shocked: "You mean to say that Wang Mingyuan was betrayed by his own people?"
"Hehe, it's even worse than that." Jing Daoxian sneered, "Since ancient times, during every major disaster, the most despairing thing is not the disaster itself, but the human heart is often more cruel than the disaster itself."
Zhou Wen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly thought of the question that Wang Mingyuan had asked his fellow disciples.
If the person you love most is insulted and you don't have the strength to fight back, should you choose to fight to the death, or endure the humiliation and join the enemy before waiting for an opportunity to take revenge?
At first, Zhou Wen thought that the enemy Wang Mingyuan was talking about was a creature from another dimension. Now it seems that if Jing Daoxian had not fooled them, perhaps the enemy Wang Mingyuan was talking about was not a creature from another dimension.
"You old fellow, could you please stop saying half of what you want to say and just say it directly?" Li Xuan's curiosity was piqued.
"I also want to explain it clearly, but unfortunately I don't know clearly." Jing Daoxian said slowly.
"After all this time, you still don't know anything and are just fooling around here!" Li Xuan said unhappily.
"People like Wang Mingyuan are so cunning that even I have to admire him. I don't know much about him, but according to my investigation, he was once married and had children. Have you ever heard him mention it?" Jing Daoxian was not angry, and continued to speak slowly.
"This is impossible. Wang Mingyuan has never been married and has no children. Everyone knows this." Li Xuan immediately refuted.
"Believe it or not, I have cooperated with him more than once or twice, and this is all I have found out. I can say for sure that he had a wife and children, but they are gone now." Jing Daoxian said lightly.
Before Li Xuan could say anything else, Jing Daoxian continued, "Actually, whether it's true or false doesn't matter. You'll know the result soon."
Zhou Wen understood what Jing Daoxian meant. If it was true as Jing Daoxian said, that Wang Mingyuan once had relatives and was killed by humans, then once Wang Mingyuan became the master of the other dimension, he would definitely return to Earth to do something.
"What do you want to cooperate on?" Zhou Wen stared at Jing Daoxian.
"Wang Mingyuan's strength is probably unmatched. If we want to restrain him, there is only one way." Jing Daoxian said word by word: "Chess Mountain."
When Zhou Wen heard the three words "Qizi Mountain", his heart couldn't help but move.
He had made two bets with Lord Di at the beginning. One of the bets was proposed by Zhou Wen. The two of them bet that Zhou Wen would live longer than Lord Di. This bet is still ongoing.
Another bet was that Zhou Wen would regret killing the Tianwaixian. Now it seems that Zhou Wen lost this bet.
He did regret killing the immortal. Lady Di was able to predict this result at that time, which showed that she might have seen through Wang Mingyuan's plan long ago.
Zhou Wen really wanted to ask Lord Di why Wang Mingyuan did this, but he didn't go.
Zhou Wen has already lost the first bet. If he goes to see Lord Di now, Lord Di can easily kill him and directly win the second bet.
So now Qizi Mountain is undoubtedly the most dangerous place for Zhou Wen.
Jing Daoxian actually mentioned the place called Qizi Mountain, which made Zhou Wen have countless thoughts in his mind.
"Why is it Chess Piece Mountain?" Zhou Wen stared at Jing Daoxian and asked.
"Because there may well be the answers everyone wants, the answers about the alternate dimension." Jing Daoxian continued, "If you're careful enough, you should be able to see that there's a very clear dividing line in ancient mythology: before the Shang Dynasty and after the Shang Dynasty."
"What's the difference?" Li Xuan didn't understand what Jing Daoxian meant.
"Young man, read more books when you have time," Jing Daoxian said disdainfully. "In the myths before the Shang Dynasty, whether it was Pangu, Nuwa, or the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the relationship between humans and gods was equal. But after the Shang Dynasty, the gods became supreme, and the status of humans plummeted. Even the emperor on earth called himself the Son of Heaven. To put it nicely, he was appointed by heaven and his fate was decided by fate. To put it bluntly, he was just a spokesperson designated by the gods, a lackey. After the Shang Dynasty, there was no human king anymore."
"What does this have to do with the other dimension?" Li Xuan was still confused.
"Among all the extra-dimensional realms on Earth, have you ever seen any before Zhou, except Chess Mountain?" Jing Daoxian asked back.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were both stunned. It seemed that they had never seen the other-dimensional realm before Zhou.
"All the other-dimensional realms on Earth can be connected to myths and legends, but have you ever seen the other-dimensional realms associated with Pangu, Nuwa, Houyi, Kuafu, and other powerful beings? All the connections between other-dimensional realms and myths ended with the Shang Dynasty, as if they were cut in two with a single knife..." Jing Daoxian's eyes were fanatical. "The root of everything lies in the Shang Dynasty, and Qizi Mountain is the root of the Shang Dynasty. Only here can we solve all the mysteries and perhaps get what we want."
"After all this talk, all you've done is baseless speculation." Li Xuan curled his lips and continued, "I remember Feng Qiuyan's hometown had an extra-dimensional realm associated with Fuxi, the ancestor of mankind. And Guide also had an extra-dimensional realm associated with Suiren, the emperor of mankind. These are all myths from before the Shang Dynasty, right?"
"Suiren was a human being, not a myth. As for Fuxi, I'm afraid he also has a close connection with the Chess Piece Mountain." Jing Daoxian said.
"You're exaggerating. Do you really think I'm uneducated? There's nothing between Fuxi and Qizi Mountain." Li Xuan said disdainfully.
"Then tell me, who started the war to destroy the Shang Dynasty?" Jing Daoxian asked back.
"Nuwa."
"What is the relationship between Nuwa and Fuxi?" Jing Daoxian asked again.
"They seem to be brother and sister?" Li Xuan said uncertainly.
"Some say they're brother and sister, some say they're husband and wife. Either way, it suggests a complex relationship. And all ancient mythology ends with the Shang Dynasty. The only one connected to ancient mythology is the Shang Dynasty. Why is that?" Jing Daoxian said solemnly, "If we conquer Chess Piece Mountain, we might find the answer."
