The golden butterfly of merit obediently let Bai Yuzhi play with it for a while, and then consciously merged into her earlobe, which already had golden merit patterns. The energy, which was not scarce to begin with, suddenly surged upwards.
Bai Yuzhi touched her slightly hot earlobe.
"Emperor, what are the golden patterns on your body?"
Bai Yuzhi knew how important merit was to Di Yan. Now that he could give her this kind of butterfly, there was no need for her to beat around the bush.
Emperor Yang turned his hand and took out the big seal that he had used to suppress the Ghost Emperor's fear when they first met. He handed it to Bai Yuzhi and waited until Bai Yuzhi took the seal before answering.
“It’s a ban.”
When the world was first created, all gods were born, and all things in the divine world came to life.
But the world is fair, gods have souls, and humans, ghosts, and monsters are not inferior. Ghosts can cultivate spiritual energy, and monsters can participate in the great Dao. Only humans are fragile and cannot protect themselves between heaven and earth.
So, in accordance with the will of heaven, the Human Emperor came into being.
The Human Emperor carries the mandate of heaven. He can destroy gods above and kill ghosts below. Demons and monsters cannot get close to him for even a moment. He has an invincible golden body. This is the Emperor's disaster.
Later, the spiritual energy was exhausted, the gods withered, the demons could not ascend, ghosts hid underground, and humans, under the protection of Emperor Huai, broke through and then rose again, becoming the masters of all things.
After Emperor Yang died, he became a ghost and was named the Emperor of Fengdu. From then on, all the legends about gods and ghosts became "legends".
Up to this point, everything seems to be traceable.
However, as the Emperor of Man, Emperor Yang was given too much power, and his ghost body and soul were beyond the control of the Six Paths. Therefore, heaven and earth punished him by giving him this restriction. Otherwise, Emperor Yang would not have to fall into a deep sleep. He only needed to break free from the ghost path. Even if he could not obtain a human body again, he could immediately eliminate this evil power.
Bai Yu asked him, "Why are you guilty?"
That’s right, the reason why the laws of heaven and earth imposed restrictions on Emperor Huai was because they considered him “guilty”.
Emperor Yao lowered his eyes and said, "The Human Emperor has shouldered the fate of mankind and the sins of the ages."
All his merits and evil deeds are not caused by himself.
From ancient times to the present, emperors and generals have all been people of great luck, but these people all have the habit of sacrificing countless lives for their success. Their merits and evil forces are intertwined and transformed into disasters on the emperor's body, barely balancing them.
But later on, there were few "righteous wars" among humans. Most of them were for selfish desires, resources, ambitions, and the evil power was far greater than the merit.
By that time, Emperor Huai had already died, but he did not change his body as the Emperor of Man, so all the blame became his, leading to punishment from heaven and earth.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
If Emperor Yan had not died, the world would certainly not have been plagued by frequent wars as long as he was still alive, but he died.
Bai Yuzhi felt that the price was really unfair. He had done nothing wrong, but it became a sin that he could not escape, and Diyang had to bear the entire fate of mankind alone.
But this is exactly the meaning of Emperor Huai being born between heaven and earth.
If this restriction were gone and his evil power were broken, there would be no one left to support the human race.
"Why did you die?"
Such a powerful existence that can bear the merits and demerits of an entire clan, even though he was granted the title of Emperor Fengdu, was still far less noble than he was during his lifetime.
At that time, all gods and ghosts were destroyed. Who could have the ability to kill him?
Bai Yuzhi looked directly into Emperor Yang's eyes and tried to get to the bottom of it.
Emperor Yang's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he had returned to that magnificent and desolate forbidden area tens of millions of years ago. He stood alone in the forbidden area, facing the illusory yet real laws of heaven and earth, or in other words, the way of heaven.
In Emperor Yang's view, that day was no different from any other time. At that time, all the gods had fallen, demons were rampant, and ghosts were rampant, but under the intimidation of Emperor Yang, they did not dare to set foot in the human realm. It should have been peaceful forever, but where there are many people, there will be right and wrong and selfishness.
Then the Way of Heaven appeared.
"It's already like this here. They don't need the Human Emperor anymore."
Indeed, under the protection of Emperor Huo, human beings grew rapidly. After being passed down from generation to generation, few people still remember how difficult it was for human beings in the beginning.
The establishment of order is always inseparable from the expansion of the desire for power. When the first dynasty appeared, it represented the end of theocracy and the birth of royal power. Emperor Yang, as the emperor of mankind, also known as the human god, was the first to hinder the royal power.
From relying on gods to expelling gods, this is the eternal law of historical evolution.
The way of heaven will not stop it. Between humans and the Human Emperor, it chooses humans.
The final value of Emperor Disaster is that it is used as a tool to absorb human evil power and imprison ghosts and monsters.
Bai Yuzhi was in a trance, looking at the calm and peaceful double pupils of Emperor Yao, and for the first time felt that the word "pathetic", which was full of condescending pity, could be used to describe an absolutely strong person.
This is no longer her first time coming into contact with the core of the world, and she will no longer confuse the world consciousness with the way of heaven like she did the first time.
If world consciousness is the "spirit" formed in the development process of this world, then the Way of Heaven is the creator of this world.
To put it simply and crudely, the Way of Heaven is, in a sense, the true creator God, and world consciousness is the world itself.
According to the relationship, world consciousness is more like the "work" of the Way of Heaven, but this work has its own thoughts.
Bai Yuzhi once summarized the world consciousness in a general way as the Way of Heaven, but it was Yi who corrected her mistake in this regard.
It is precisely because Bai Yuzhi can now clearly distinguish the difference between the way of heaven and the world consciousness that he feels the death of Emperor Huai is so absurd.
Each small world is blank. When this world "exists," the Way of Heaven also exists. The system once said that each small world is a literary work. The person who depicts this literary work is the author, and the Way of Heaven is responsible for filling in the blanks and establishing the rules.
Because the author can only write specific characters within a limited framework, but the ultimate operation of the world still requires the vast world outside the characters.
Just like this world.
Assuming that there is nothing strange in this world and it is just a novel with an unfinished ending, then the author is only responsible for creating the historical background of Bai Yuzhi. As for the history before this background and the world outside the characters in the novel, they are all described by the way of heaven.
In other words, in this world, the Way of Heaven is something that absolutely cannot be violated.
In ancient times, if the king wanted his subjects to die, the subjects had to die. So for this world, it is irresistible for heaven to erase anyone's existence.
So Emperor Yang died.
Death by the rules of heaven.
Bai Yuzhi couldn't understand this absurd death. If there was something that told her that its existence was only for so-and-so, and that when that person had a good life, she should retire and die...
Just thinking about it made her feel like she would go crazy.
Emperor Yang's cold fingers touched Bai Yuzhi's unconsciously clenched hand and gently stroked her palm.
"No problem."
After all, although nature was cruel, it did not leave him with nothing.
