Chapter 277: Shocking News of Life Story Revealed
Of the twelve ancient gods who sat beneath Pangu's throne, eight embodied the Pillars of Heaven, supporting the pure and the turbid. Two other gods fought, both suffering heavy losses. One, in anger, struck the Buzhou River, causing the Celestial River to overflow, flooding the land with water.
One god won without a fight and took control of heaven, but his powers were completely lost and he was unable to save the people, so he sent his messenger down to the mortal world to seek a powerful person.
The messenger of God went to Zhonghuang Mountain and saw the spiritual bodies of Fuxi and Nuwa, and asked if he could help them.
Empress Wa couldn't bear the vicissitudes of life, so she used the magic stone to repair the sky and stop the leak in the sky. However, Empress Wa also died in the sky.
At this time, the Emperor of Heaven also returned to Hongmeng, Haotian ascended the throne, remembered the merits of Wa, and agreed to the way of the Three Emperors. The Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Earth, and the Emperor of Man sat on an equal footing, and the three races of humans, gods, and demons were equal.
At that time, the ancient gods who came down to earth were grateful for the great achievements of Queen Wa and stayed in the mortal world.
Time flies, day comes and night goes, the messenger of God has long returned to the earth, but the ancient God's lineage has been passed down from generation to generation.
…
"What do you mean?" Lingxiang pretended to be calm, but her heart was already in turmoil.
Wan Gu Qiong Cang didn't seem to care about the spiritual fragrance. He just took a sip of tea and said lazily, "You already have a plan in mind, so why bother asking?"
Yes, didn’t I guess it a long time ago?
In order to find a way to solve the problem of incomplete spiritual roots, I have read all the books in Langhuan Pavilion since I was a child, and naturally I know what an incomplete soul means.
"So, my mother is from the demon clan?" If that's the case, then it would explain why she saved the Demon Lord in the first place...
wrong!
If my mother was a demon, how could she possibly refine immortality pills?
Wan Gu Qiong Cang narrowed his eyes and looked at the deep-thinking Ling Xiang, still waving the fan in his hand slowly.
"Yes, if Tumi is a demon, how could she refine immortality elixirs?" Wan Gu Qiong Cang closed his fan and tapped the small box on the table. "Since my biological mother isn't a demon, then the only option is..."
Wan Gu Qiong Cang did not finish his words, as if he did so on purpose, and just squinted his eyes and looked at Ling Xiang.
Lingxiang was shocked and looked at Wan Gu hurriedly: "Impossible! How could my mother do that!?"
Wan Gu Qiong Cang just chuckled: "Why not? Is it possible that the fate here can be controlled by you? However, the details should not come from my mouth. Someone will explain it to you later."
Yes, yes! It turns out I’m also a demon!
No! To be more precise, I'm half-demon! That would explain why my spiritual roots are incomplete!
The people of the demon clan have incomplete souls and are unable to nourish their innate qi, so there is no such thing as spiritual roots.
"But..." Lingxiang seemed to want to struggle, "But this doesn't make sense. If I were a demon, how could I perform Taoist magic? And how could I make elixirs and medicine?"
"Look, look," Wan Gu Qiong Cang took a sip of tea, "I told you to tell me slowly, but you insisted on jumping straight into the point. With such disjointed explanations, it naturally doesn't make sense."
"To put it simply, it's all thanks to Tumi. Although she's from the Yuwang lineage, her mother's clan is descended from the Ancient God—the one who descended into the mortal world to seek a way to save the world. Therefore, you also have the blood of the Ancient God in you. Although it's thin, it's a real inheritance."
There is such an inside story!
The world's people are limited by their spiritual roots, so when they practice Taoism, some techniques are easy to master, while others are difficult to practice. However, Lingxiang is different. Although most techniques cannot be performed due to the limitations of cultivation, they are not constrained by the five elements.
When the world was first created, the spiritual energy was not divided so clearly. The ancient gods either came from outside the chaos or gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and were naturally not constrained by the five elements.
"So, my mother..."
Before Lingxiang could finish her words, Wangu interrupted and said, "He is the last god in the world."
Um?
Lingxiang looked at Wanguqiongcang in surprise. She didn't mean to say this, but was interrupted by Wanguqiongcang. However, what she said was not right. She had clearly inherited the bloodline of her mother, the ancient god.
Wangu Qiongcang seemed to see Lingxiang's doubts and sneered, "With a half-demon body, do you really want to inherit the title of Ancient God?"
Lingxiang fell silent after hearing this.
This is indeed true. If it is really as this old man said, how can I dare to talk about it as an ancient god? However...
"Can ancient gods die too?"
Lingxiang believed that if it were not for fate, the lifespan of gods should be the same as that of heaven and earth.
Wanguqiong rolled his eyes. "Look at you, you're so ignorant. Everything has a lifespan, even heaven and earth. Why should the so-called gods be an exception? It's just that compared to mortals, the gods' lifespans are so long and unattainable, so they feel this way."
Yes, between heaven and earth, human beings are so small and insignificant.
Just as Lingxiang was sighing, Wan Gu Qiong Cang spoke again.
"Do you know why spiritual roots are becoming increasingly scarce in this world?"
Wan Gu Qiong Cang's question stumped Ling Xiang.
"Why?" She really didn't know.
Wan Gu Qiong Cang smiled again, turned into a cloud of mist and floated to Ling Xiang's side, then hung under the eaves and fanned herself.
…
Originally, heaven and earth were in chaos, clumped together, yet united as a whole. Pangu's blade suddenly separated them, and the clear and turbid began to form. The so-called spiritual energy is the alternation of the clear and turbid. Only when they merge can wisdom emerge.
However, since heaven and earth are separated, so are the spiritual energy. Thus, there are the five elements. Coupled with the eight pillars of heaven, over time, the clear and the turbid are separated, and the spiritual energy naturally becomes increasingly thin.
…
"Not to mention the so-called outer gods outside of the Primal Chaos, those ancient gods born from the spirits of heaven and earth were born from pure and unadulterated spirits. At that time, spiritual energy was abundant, and naturally they were not constrained by the Five Elements."
"But since this is the case, it is suspected of defying heaven, and therefore it is subject to the constraints of heaven and has its lifespan limited."
After hearing what Wan Gu Qiong Cang said, Ling Xiang immediately understood that those ancient gods were destroyed and died, but in fact they were just leaving the way of heaven and returning to the primordial chaos.
You will go back to where you were born, which is consistent with the principle of reincarnation.
"But after the Conferred Gods event, there are 365 true gods in heaven, not to mention the Three Altars and Sea Assemblies, who have achieved sainthood in the flesh. How can you say there are no gods in the world?"
Lingxiang was very confused, but Wan Gu Qiong Cang sneered when he heard it.
"Those are nothing but gods, nothing more than a facade created by the so-called Three Venerables to break the equality between humans and gods. Throughout history, people have always followed the crowd. If we really look at it, while Emperor Xin is undoubtedly tyrannical and brutal, is he really as despicable as people say? If it weren't for his expansion of territory, how could the vastness of our present era exist?"
this……
From childhood to adulthood, whether it was what he read in books or what he heard from others, he was told that King Zhou of Shang was tyrannical and cruel. This was a well-known fact to everyone on the streets, but when it came to this old man's mouth, it seemed as if there was another hidden story.
"At that time, the human race was flourishing and at its peak. Emperor Xin disrespected the gods and refused to perform sacrifices, incurring the wrath of Heaven. This, in turn, affected the interests of Heaven, leading to the subsequent disasters. To prevent the human race from becoming difficult to control in the future, the Conferred Gods were established." As Wan Gu Qiong Cang spoke, he sighed, "With Emperor Xin's death, there were no more Human Emperors in the world."
This is true. When the Three Emperors are all present, humans and gods are equal. If the Human Emperor is lost, the human race will be leaderless and naturally inferior. However...
"But what does this have to do with what I want?" Lingxiang was very confused.
"What? You don't know?"
"The demons are the descendants of the Human Emperor."
