"Boom—"
A deafening sound came from afar. Qin Nan suddenly opened his eyes and ran quickly towards the mountaintop. Looking into the distance, he saw that it seemed to be a mountain that had collapsed.
Qin Nan lightly flew into the sky and headed towards the source of the sound.
As he approached, he encountered the Qilin, who had been observing him.
"Mo? You're here! A fight has broken out over there!"
The Qilin called out to Qin Nan as they floated in the air, looking at Mount Buzhou, where dust and smoke were rising and mountains were collapsing and water was flowing.
Qin Nan: "Who's fighting with whom?"
Qilin: "Gonggong and Zhuanxu belonged to the tribes of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, respectively, and fought for the throne!"
Qin Nan: "They destroyed Mount Buzhou?"
Qilin: "Hmm, it seems to be Gonggong who broke Buzhou Mountain, one of the pillars of heaven. He should be punished."
Qin Nan: "Mount Buzhou is inhabited by people and beasts, so now isn't that..."
Qilin paused for a moment: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to survive. I rushed here as soon as possible, but with the pillar of heaven collapsing, it's not safe for me to go over there. I can only wait until the collapse stops before I can go and rescue the people and beasts."
The pillar of heaven broke, the sky tilted, the earth collapsed, the very foundation of heaven and earth was shaken, and countless lives were harmed. In this struggle, Gonggong was defeated.
As the dust settled, Qin Nan followed the Qilin toward Buzhou Mountain, searching bit by bit for any surviving people and beasts.
Qin Nan could feel the pain of heaven and earth, and he also sensed that many souls had appeared on Mount Buzhou. In the next seven days, these souls would become ghosts and go to that unknown place.
Qin Nan was very curious about where the souls of the dead went. He had followed them, but in the end, they returned to the earth and could no longer be found.
The Qilin can heal, and Qin Nan helped him save many people and beasts, guiding them to relocate and live elsewhere.
After learning many things, Bai Hao had to do certain things, such as presenting a map to the Yellow Emperor and providing guidance to the righteous sages.
Do everything in accordance with the way of Heaven.
Qin Nan suddenly thought that although he and Bai Hao were born together, they were very different from each other. Bai Hao was omniscient within the Heavenly Dao and served as its guide.
Qin Nan is outside the Heavenly Dao, and can only sense everything beyond the heavens and the earth, but may not know everything.
Moreover, Qin Nan also had a companion jade piece in his mouth. Originally, the jade was a complete ring-shaped jade, not a pair of jade pendants.
Qin Nan didn't know what the jade was for at first; he just held it in his mouth and never took it off. Later, when a rope was available, Bai Hao tied it up for him and hung it around his neck, which made things much more convenient.
But Qin Nan still didn't know what it was for until the struggle between Yan and Huang took place in Banquan.
Qin Nan followed Bai Hao around and encountered this incident.
The battlefield was a scene of devastation after the battle, with corpses strewn everywhere and blood staining the rivers red.
Qin Nan stepped into the battlefield as the sun set. He lowered his head and nudged the beast that had been dead for a long time with its head. The aura of death permeated the world.
Those remains have nowhere to be buried, those souls have nowhere to rest.
Qin Nan could see them; he could see those wandering souls. He knew that seven days later, they would turn into ghosts and go to the underworld.
At that time, no one knew about the underworld, and there was no River of the Dead.
Whether human or beast, at the moment of death, they are destined to fall into an endless abyss and never see the light of day again.
As Qin Nan looked at the still-warm corpse and listened to the mournful songs of the dead, tears streamed down her face and fell onto the black jade.
At that moment, a faint golden light emanated from the black jade, and Qin Nan instantly received a divine revelation in his mind.
Then the black jade broke into two pieces. Bai Hao initially tied them together with a rope, which Qin Nan could barely wear. Later, the two pieces of jade were lost and scattered among the people, where they were exquisitely decorated by craftsmen who developed the craft later.
The Yellow Emperor ultimately won this battle, and the Yan Emperor's tribe declined. Not long afterward, another tribe that had developed in Jiuli launched a large-scale war, attacking other tribes.
Bai Hao said that was Chi You.
Because of the decline of the Yan Emperor's tribe, it was targeted by the Chi You tribe, which launched a war. The Yan Emperor was no match for them and had no choice but to ask the Yellow Emperor for help.
Then came the Battle for Supremacy, a battle that came at an extremely high cost.
Bai Hao said that all of this was fate and destiny, but Qin Nan didn't understand.
I don't understand why the Chi You clan keeps starting wars, I don't understand why the innocent people of the Chi You tribe are also exterminated after their defeat, and I don't understand why this world, which should belong to all things, is being occupied and fought over by others.
Too many people and animals have died.
Eventually, the Yellow Emperor's tribe grew powerful, and the human race gradually rose to prominence.
Later, Qin Nan didn't know what happened, but many gods stepped forward and used the laws of the Dijiang Space to separate the mortal world, the Mountain and Sea Realm, and the Heavenly God Realm.
The separated human world was not peaceful at first, because humans and immortals mingled and ghosts and monsters caused trouble.
Later, the immortals created the Heavenly Palace and ascended to the upper realm, where humans, beasts, and ghosts coexisted in the human world.
Humans are too weak, and despite the existence of many cultivators, they still live in dire straits.
Legend has it that two divine emperors, by a twist of fate, created a hellish realm beneath the human world, a place where ghosts could live. Over generations, this realm evolved and eventually took shape with its own set of rules.
From then on, the three realms of Heaven, Man, and Earth were separated.
Apart from some of the gods leaving, nothing else changed within the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Before the underworld was established, the lost souls of the Mountain and Sea Realm had nowhere to go and could only gather under Houtu, trapped in the netherworld.
As too many people and animals died, one day, problems arose.
An unknown tremor caused a massive opening to tear open the previously isolated Netherworld, where malevolent energy spread and raged.
Gods, beasts, and humans joined forces to solve this problem, but they still had no clue. Even when they consulted the all-knowing Bai Hao, they could not find out the answer.
This matter was beyond Bai Hao's knowledge, because it was related to Houtu.
