"Does 'upper realm' refer to the immortal realm?"
Ao Shuang's eyes flickered as she thought about the various things that would happen later, and she felt somewhat uneasy.
The old Zen master sighed, "What is meant to be will be. We humans have even defeated the Void Realm, what else can't we defeat! Don't forget, even if an immortal is no longer powerful, he was still a human who cultivated to that level!"
"Hmph! Who bestowed upon them the title of immortal? It's just a title they gave themselves! Back then, they closed the Heavenly Gate, cutting off the human race's escape route, which destined the human and divine races to live in seclusion, never to interact again. If they dare to act recklessly, then our human race is not to be trifled with!"
Ao Shuang waved her sleeve and turned away, her expression as cold as ice.
"grandmother!"
Lu Xueqing quickly followed him out.
The two traveled all the way back to Antarctica.
"Grandma, after the collapse of the primordial world, weren't the mortal realm and the immortal realm separated?"
Lu Xueqing asked, puzzled.
Ao Shuang glanced at her. "You and I are both reincarnations from ancient times, and we have both awakened the power of destiny. Don't you know very well what happened back then?"
Lu Xueqing pursed her lips and said, "Lin Yu and I are both juniors. I know that you, Grandma, are an ancient god, and you know more than we do!"
Lu Xueqing sincerely asked for advice. Back in the primordial Thirty-Three Heavens, when she was in charge of Yaochi, she was the only one in the entire Thirty-Three Heavens who favored the human race.
At that time, the human race and the god race already had a rift. Although she was powerful, her seniority was far inferior to that of the other holy masters, and she could only be considered a junior. In addition, her alliance with Lin Yu led to her being ostracized by Di Shitian. Otherwise, she would not have ended up in such a state.
At the time, she was a newly ascended Holy Lord, and she knew very little about the affairs of ancient times. She was even more unaware of when the rift between the human and divine races began.
Ao Shuang sighed and said, "The conflict between humans and gods began 100,000 years ago, in the ancient times. There is no difference between humans and gods except for their bloodline. The gods believe that the strong will always be strong, value bloodline, and exclude humans, while humans believe that everyone is equal. This huge conflict of ideas led the two races to drift further and further apart in the end!"
Lu Xueqing nodded. "I do know a little about that. The gods have extremely strict requirements for the purity of bloodlines, and they are divided into several factions, such as Fuxi, Nuwa, and later Donghuang Taiyi. These factions later formed the Thirty-Three Heavens!"
Ao Shuang nodded, her face cold as she said, "The so-called gods are nothing but a bunch of selfish bastards. When the primordial world collapsed and the Heavenly Gate was opened, they were just the first to ascend to heaven, yet they proclaimed themselves gods! When they arrived in the upper realm and became gods, they did not do so to protect the common people, but instead closed the gates, isolating the human realm and severing the connection between heaven and earth! This has made it impossible for the human race to cultivate anymore, and they no longer have the opportunity to ascend to heaven!"
Lu Xueqing pursed her lips and said, "Yes, at that time, Lin Yu and I were fighting against the Void. These guys not only didn't help, but they also closed that gate, leaving our human race to suffer from the threat of the Void and the oppression of the Death Tribulation!"
"When the Heavenly Gate was first closed, it wasn't very secure. After I returned to Yaochi, I tried to plan how to open it, but I never expected they would send an inside agent to disrupt Yaochi's internal affairs. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been forced into reincarnation!" Lu Xueqing said bitterly. Recalling the past, she couldn't help but clench her fists tightly.
Those so-called gods are truly shameless.
Ao Shuang sighed, "Actually, it's not their fault. It's just that our human race was too weak at the time, and we were in a period of transition. This result was to be expected!"
Lu Xueqing seemed to have thought of something and frowned as she asked, "By the way, Grandma, these gods should be living a carefree life in the Immortal Realm, so why are they causing trouble in the mortal world again?"
Recalling the unusual activity of the Heavenly Secrets Disc and the old Zen master's eight words, Lu Xueqing felt uneasy.
Ao Shuang pondered for a moment and said, "The Upper Realm isn't as good as you think! It's just that its dimension is higher than the Human Realm. When the primordial world collapsed, the primordial energy surged upwards, concentrating in only a very small space. Of course, even this small space is much larger than the Great Xia World, about one-fifth the size of the Southern Jambudvipa. If we compare the entire Saha World to a pyramid, the Upper Realm is the apex. The number of gods is enormous, and they are all crammed into this apex. As time goes by and the population grows, they will inevitably face the problem of resource allocation! Moreover, they are all proud and arrogant, ruthless and fierce, and they can even fight tooth and nail for resources!"
"Aren't they all gods? How can they fight over resources!" Lu Xueqing said with a mocking expression.
Ao Shuang laughed and said, "People die for wealth, birds die for food. This is the simplest of truths. Wherever there are people, there will be conflicts of interest. Even gods are not exempt from this!"
"Then why do they need to go to the Upper Realm? Just for the Xuanhuang Qi? Cultivation is only for longevity. If they become immortals in the Lower Realm, isn't that the same?" Lu Xueqing asked, somewhat puzzled.
Ao Shuang shook her head. "Things aren't as simple as you think. First of all, is it so easy to become an immortal? Look at us immortals, which one of us didn't make a great vow in ancient times, exhausting our cultivation to protect the great powers of the human race life after life? In addition, in the cycle of reincarnation, energy is depleted, and how many of us can remain undeterred? Furthermore, how many fellow cultivators have perished in the fight against the Void!"
"Furthermore, and more importantly, the collapse of the Primordial World was an anomaly caused by the Primordial World in order to avoid the Void. It was a desperate act of sacrificing most of its Xuanhuang Qi to raise a very small part of itself to a higher dimension! The benefit of doing so is that although the lower realm was sacrificed, the upper realm, being in a higher dimension, will not be threatened by the Void!" Ao Shuang finally revealed the truth about the collapse of the Primordial World.
Lu Xueqing was stunned when she heard this.
"So that's how it is?"
"This Saha world is so amazing! How can it, like humans, know how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune?"
Ao Shuang smiled bitterly: "The entire world is a huge living organism, and we are just insects on its body. As our cultivation improves, we think we have understood the rules and truth of the world, but in reality, we only understand the rules of its operation!"
"So, we only know the rules of how the Saha world works. Could there be other worlds?" Lu Xueqing's beautiful eyes widened. She had vaguely learned about these things from ancient books, but with her magical power and experience, her knowledge of them was very limited.
Ao Shuang nodded. "You're right! The Saha World is just one of many worlds in this universe. There are countless worlds like the Saha World in the entire universe. It's just a drop in the ocean in this vast universe! Other worlds have their own rules of operation and their own paths! For example, in some worlds, people consider the top as the bottom and the left as the right. They walk with their heads and eat with their feet. If you really see this, it will definitely shatter your understanding!"
After hearing what Ao Shuang said, Lu Xueqing was at a loss for words.
It felt as if my entire worldview had been reshaped!
This truly shatters my worldview!
