The way of expressing is very interesting.
Gong Yang waved his hand, and a large glazed vat with a diameter of three meters appeared in front of him.
The transparent glass vat was half filled with soil and half filled with seawater. Although it was only a three-meter-square vat, it used extremely mysterious spatial magical powers. On the soil half, there were mountains and hills, plateaus and basins, canyons and rivers, lakes and forests; while the seawater half was vast and misty, with giant whales and beasts looming in it.
This was like a small world. Chu Tian's soul carefully swept across this three-meter-sized world. He also found countless strange-looking apes living happily in this world.
"This is a land of abundant resources and fertile soil. These apes, whom we call 'human apes', are naturally intelligent and have the potential for great wisdom. Once they are enlightened, they can gain the mysteries of heaven and earth and embark on the path of cultivation." Gong Yang sighed, "This land of vastness is so vast that it can accommodate trillions of human apes."
With a point of his finger, some strange spots of light appeared in the sky above this world.
These light spots were suspended in the void, and they matched perfectly with the aura of this small world. If these wonderful auras were a large net that covered the entire world, these strange light spots were the nodes of the large net. Powerful auras flowed rapidly in these nodes, and it seemed that each node could drive the operation of the entire large net.
"These light spots...are born from the will of heaven and earth. Their every move is inspired by the instincts of heaven and earth. We can call them 'spirits of heaven and earth'!" Gong Yang chuckled and pointed at the large glazed jar. "For countless years, these apes have struggled to survive in the natural world, eating and drinking to their heart's content, and reproducing. Everything is inspired by instinct, and they have no other extravagant desires."
Countless apes roam in the mountains and forests, on the plateaus, in the basins, and in the canyons.
They hunted, fished, herded, and planted crops... They built houses, villages, and towns. They began to have a sense of ethnic group and class division...
This is an extremely primitive evolutionary picture scroll. Generation after generation of apes live hard and contented lives, generation after generation of apes grow old and die, generation after generation of apes are born and grow up. They work hard and try their best to leave traces of their survival between heaven and earth.
Finally, as the civilization of these apes gradually developed, some outstanding ones among them invented writing, began to record knowledge, began to study the plants and trees around them, and new knowledge began to emerge continuously.
These beings looked up at the stars and wondered what was above them.
These beings looked down at the deep sea, wondering what was there.
When they stepped on the earth, they began to praise the earth's generosity and carrying capacity, and praised the earth as the mother of all things.
As they trekked through the rivers, they felt that time was like flowing water, which would never return. They shed tears for the heroes’ twilight years and the fading of beauties.
Thus, among these outstanding beings, there are those who are wiser, more intelligent, more perceptive, and more uniquely gifted. They feel the rhythm of heaven and earth. Comparing themselves with the world, they begin to practice!
Practice, practice, become faster, stronger, and live longer. Individuals become stronger and wiser, control greater power, and control more resources. Like a snowball, gradually, a brand new group emerges.
Because of their strength, wisdom, and knowledge, these groups gradually transcended the ordinary and stood at the top of the world.
Their lifespans were getting longer and longer, and their individuals were becoming stronger and stronger, so Chu Tian clearly saw that some subtle changes were taking place in the mountains, rivers and jungles near these overly powerful ape individuals.
The mountains became fragile, the jungles became withered, and the rivers became much weaker. It seemed that these powerful ape individuals had extracted some of the vitality from these natural existences, making the entire natural world weak.
Then those strange light spots in the void began to move, smoke and clouds swirled in the void, and around these overly powerful individuals that were causing damage to the ecological balance, hurricanes, fires, thunder and other disasters began to appear. Especially the thunder disaster, which could easily cover a thousand miles, with countless thunder roaring and falling, fiercely smashing these overly powerful individuals that were causing damage to the balance into pieces.
The predecessors were killed by disasters, but their successors continued to embark on the path of cultivation. These powerful and intelligent individuals began to devote themselves to developing various magical skills to avoid disasters.
They even found all kinds of strange secret treasures created by the natural world. They integrated these secret treasures into themselves, and with the help of the power of the secret treasures and various magical skills, they easily avoided the disaster.
When the disasters formed by the will of heaven and earth could no longer threaten these powerful monks, a mysterious shackle from heaven and earth stood in front of all the monks!
Ten thousand years limit!
A lifespan of ten thousand years is the ultimate!
Chu Tian's body trembled slightly. He vaguely remembered that when he was in the Tianlu world, the reason why the Zi Clan did those heaven-defying things, used the power of mortals to reverse the heaven and earth, and imprisoned and suppressed all the gods of heaven and earth, was all for this matter of the ten thousand year limit!
No matter how great your achievements are, no matter how powerful you are, the biggest issue of life and death in the world is a lifespan of ten thousand years!
No matter how high your cultivation level is, no matter how powerful your cultivation is, ten thousand years, a mere ten thousand years, is the ultimate for a cultivator. The so-called life span of the same age as the heaven and earth, the same age as the sun and the moon, etc., cultivators should not even think about such a good thing!
In the large glazed vat, one powerful ape monk after another died of old age. The thunder of heaven and earth, the wind, fire and lightning were powerless against them, but in the face of natural lifespan, the ultimate and most terrifying force between heaven and earth, they fell.
As soon as Gong Yang waved his hand, all the movements in the large glass vat were fixed and solidified.
He raised his head, looked at Chu Tian solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "These things also happened in the Tianlu world back then."
Chu Tian nodded: "Yes, so the three ancestors of the Purple Clan rose up against the will of heaven, imprisoned and suppressed the gods of heaven and earth, reversed the laws of heaven and earth, and completely dissipated the constraints of the ten thousand years of life... From then on, the cultivators of the Tianlu world, once they break through the Anshen realm, will have infinite lifespan!"
Gong Yang and the other six ancestors laughed at the same time, and then Gong Yang said softly: "This incident also happened before the ancient Wuliangtian... It was almost the same process, and the result was almost the same... It was just that the final outcome was slightly different. The earliest existence that defied the heavens did not enjoy the fruits of victory. Instead, it was replaced by some low-level creatures from Wuliangtian...!"
With a wave of his ram's hand, the large glazed vat and all the objects inside it collapsed completely.
He waved his sleeves, and a brand new large glass jar appeared in front of Chu Tian.
