Chapter 162 It turns out that the me back then has become history
Dongfang Qi began to tell her the earliest history of this world:
"Pangu created the heavens, and Nuwa created humans. The first group of people Nuwa created were called immortals."
"Led by Nuwa, the immortals created the order of heaven and earth, demarcated the boundaries of mountains, rivers, and seas, and embedded the sun, moon, and stars in the sky, teaching later mortals to recognize the four seasons."
"And those immortals who participated in the creation of the world were also revered as gods by people in later generations."
"Until Gong Gong angrily crashed into Mount Buzhou, the gods completed their mission and ascended to heaven, leaving behind some descendants."
"These people are also uniquely gifted among humans. They can practice immortal arts, and the powerful ones have the ability to move mountains and seas. They stand at the top of the world and rule everything."
"Everyone is greedy, even the descendants of gods are no exception. They have occupied the blessed land of immortal mountains and mountains, which are rich in spiritual energy and suitable for cultivating immortals. They use immortal stones as a foundation to separate themselves from the human world, and no one can approach without permission."
"Although the humans in the lower realms are as small as ants, they have gradually developed into countries of all sizes."
"Later, someone discovered that the power of human faith could improve one's cultivation. Thus, humans from the lower realms became the lucrative targets of those cultivators."
"To gain the power of faith, immortal cultivators wantonly create natural and man-made disasters, then reappear as saviors..."
When Lin Qingyue heard this, she was extremely surprised. This history was exactly what she had witnessed before.
So, she didn't travel to another world, but traveled to many years later?
So, all the experiences she had in the world of immortal cultivation have become the history of this world?
Dongfang Qi saw her surprised face and asked, "Surprised, huh? It sounds like a legend, right?"
"That period of history is actually recorded in unofficial history. Official history only records the creation of the world by Nuwa, but does not mention the Age of Chaos—that name was originally given by later generations."
"Although it's unofficial history, I've compared it with many accounts and personally believe it's likely true. In particular, there are still many sorcery techniques and demons left in the world today, which can serve as evidence."
Lin Qingyue's expression was stern: "Go on."
Dongfang Qi then continued, "According to ancient texts, during the Age of Chaos, people lived in hardship, yet they were extremely superstitious about savior gods. They would rather starve their children to death than raise money to gild the gods."
"Whether it's natural disasters, man-made calamities, or just headaches and fevers, we all turn to the gods. This has been passed down through the generations, and our faith in the gods has become ingrained in our bones, an indelible mark on our souls."
"Until later, the immortal stone used by the immortal world to collect faith and isolate the two worlds suddenly collapsed for some unknown reason. Dozens of pious monarchs from the lower world were able to break through the barrier and reach the immortals' territory."
"But when they arrived in the immortal world, thinking they had reached the Pure Land of Bliss, they saw only ordinary people like themselves."
"Those mortals are still discussing how to cause chaos in the underworld."
"For example, they pretend to be river gods and trick believers into offering young girls as sacrifices for their sexual pleasure."
"Or, they falsely claim that money is external and the source of suffering, and that only by giving it up can one cleanse their sins and achieve righteousness. In this way, the so-called divine messengers can openly plunder the believers' money, only to turn around and pave the ground with gold bricks and glazed tiles, enjoying a life of luxury."
"But when the truth was revealed, the common people were saddened and enraged, and finally realized they had to rebel and stop believing in false gods."
"However, this action angered the monks. To establish their authority as a warning to the others, they randomly selected a small country and intended to bring about its annihilation."
"But later, something unforeseen happened in the world of immortal cultivation, and the cultivators who were sent to bring disaster fled in panic. Major clans and sects in the world of immortal cultivation were destroyed one after another. A few remnants fled back to the lower realms and hid, claiming that a demon had descended to bring about a world-destroying disaster. They also claimed that all the evil deeds of the immortals in the past were directed by this demon."
"So the people of the lower realms were in a state of panic, fearing that even greater disasters would come."
"However, more than a decade has passed, and the legendary demon has not set foot on the mortal world. In contrast, because mortals have stopped offering sacrifices to the gods for more than a decade, they have been able to recuperate and gradually regain some of their vitality."
"Afterward, many details were not recorded in detail, with only a general summary: 'Later, immortals from the upper realms deceived the people, gathered them into an army, and rose up to exorcise the demons. However, before their mission was accomplished, divine fire descended from the sky, annihilating them all.'"
At this point, Dongfang Qi sighed, "Sometimes I really feel how pitiful and pathetic mortals are. Back then, a demon king truly descended, but he didn't take a single cent from the lower realm, nor did he bring any harm. Yet, mortals were easily bewitched and raised armies to attack him."
"Fortunately, only one small nation was deceived at the time. After the divine fire descended from the sky, it was destroyed along with it. If the other countries in the lower realm had also risen up in arms, I'm afraid there would have been no future."
Lin Qingyue's expression was indifferent at the moment. It turned out that the bloody storms of those years had turned into a speck of ink in history, and when it was recounted to the ears of herself, a person who had experienced it, it could not cause any waves at all.
It turns out that my past self has become history. It is a little-known unofficial history.
Dongfang Qi continued, "After that, immortal cultivators ceased to exist. The few gifted individuals became ordinary cultivators, perhaps possessing extraordinary abilities, but no longer possessing the power to overturn mountains and seas or subvert the world."
"The world, long divided, must unite. Long united, must divide. The states, large and small, began to fight and clash with each other again. Finally, Qi unified and established the Central Plains Dynasty."
"Later, vassal kings rebelled and split Qi, ushering in another period of chaos. Until today, the Central Plains dynasties have evolved into the Three Kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Feng."
"Three thousand years have passed since the Age of Chaos."
"Perhaps because they were previously enslaved by the immortals, the countries that followed all began to suppress those with special abilities. The demon race was also expelled from the mainstream. And those immortal cultivation techniques are extremely rare. Even if there are occasional single copies, no one can understand them."
"Yueyue, you are the most powerful practitioner I have ever seen. Especially the talisman technique you taught me recently, it is simply too comprehensive. Where did you learn it from?"
Lin Qingyue did not answer, but frowned as she digested the information she had just received.
Three thousand years have passed. For the world, the long river of time has flown by for three thousand years, and the world has long been completely changed.
But for Lin Qingyue, it was just a blink of an eye.
But what was the divine fire that fell from the sky mentioned in unofficial history? Could it be the red lotus fire that he had finally ignited in the Cloud Palace?
Although the Red Lotus Karma Fire was powerful, it required a strong spiritual force to burn. In other words, after his death, the Red Lotus Karma Fire would be extinguished within an hour at most, and would not be enough to bring about the destruction of the entire cultivation world.
Divine fire from the sky? Could it really be the gods in heaven taking action?
