Chapter 426 History
If it was just a war, it would be fine, but a part of the human race used the Five-Color Formation to eliminate dissidents and killed the soldiers who should have returned victoriously, even implicating other races and causing a disaster.
The Long clan and other affected races became angry and expelled most of the troublemakers, only tolerating a part of the Wuqi clan.
The expelled human race was divided into several waves of forces. They each acted independently and established "Clans" on the gradually emerging land, which was the original ten continents and three islands. These were the predecessors of the sectarian forces.
Among them, several sects have always felt guilty about the war between humans affecting other races, and they always remember the responsibilities that Nuwa told them when she gave them life.
Therefore, these sects contacted the Wu Tan clan of the Chang Wu tribe, and invited some Wu Tan clan members to teach children in the sects, make witch water, and then train batches of human cultivators to enter the five-color formation to fight.
Perhaps it was because the human race had paid too much for the Five-Color Formation, so the Long family turned a blind eye to all this and did not pursue it.
Until the greedy human race caused a terrible disaster: Jiuyou.
Jiuyou was originally just a world that was completely opposite to Guixu Realm - the heaven and earth were divided into yin and yang, the yang was Guixu, and the yin was Jiuyou. The pivot of yang was the Guixu Sea, and the pivot of yin was the Xuwei Mountain.
Whether it is Guixu Sea or Xuwei Mountain, they are both the central heart that connects thousands of worlds, but they are just one yin and one yang side respectively.
But according to the records of the Quanxian tribe, some other expelled human beings were dissatisfied with the fact that the Wuqi clan only helped a few of their sects to practice, so they launched a war again and even attacked the Five-Color Formation.
There was a brief backflow at the Guixu Mouth, and the Guixu Sea and Xuwei Mountain were infected. The evil energy that gushed out from the Guixu Sea erupted into the Xuwei Mountain, thus polluting the entire Jiuyou.
An accident occurred at Guixukou, and the Five-Colored Array was damaged. The gods came forward to repair it, and became furious. They led the Long clan and other races to unilaterally massacre the human race.
Of course, all along, those human sects that had close relations with the Wuqi clan and were responsible for the Five-Color Formation had survived this catastrophe of genocide. However, they were also isolated because of this, and all races were forbidden from participating in the Five-Color Formation.
Afterwards, the world changed dramatically, and no one knew when, but people actually discovered figures similar to the evil demons from outer space on the ten continents and three islands!
As the surviving humans who have been living and reproducing in these places, they discovered after investigation that these demons wandered over from the passage between the Jiuyou Realm and the Guixu Realm.
Only then did they realize that the Nine Netherworld was already full of these demons, making it difficult for humans to easily reach them.
In order to atone for their sins and do something, the surviving humans began to clear out the demons that wandered from the Nine Netherworld to the Guixu Realm. These demons that wandered from the Nine Netherworld were much weaker than the outer demons in the Five Color Formation, so they were also called "Nine Netherworld Demons" to distinguish them from the outer demons at the Guixu Entrance.
Eventually, the current situation has gradually formed where the major human sects guard the Nine Nether Passage and take it as their responsibility to clear out the Nine Nether Demons, and it continues to this day.
"So, when Nuwa disappeared, she actually went to find a way to completely solve the Five Color Formation?"
After a long silence, Wang Qiqing suddenly asked, "What about the gods of ancient times? Are there any Houyi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, Chiyou, Gonggong, and Zhurong?"
Yuan Tao was very knowledgeable and answered, "According to historical records, it is very likely that Nuwa left for this reason. As for other gods, there is no record... And I have never heard of the names you mentioned, but Chi You did exist. I wonder if it is the Chi You you are talking about. He once fought with a dragon king of the Youlong clan, and after being defeated, he left Kunlun Hill and occupied Wankuzhou. Then he disappeared."
“Disappeared?” Wang Qiqing asked, “Did all the other gods disappear suddenly?”
"That's right. Hundreds of gods seemed to have disappeared suddenly, without any trace or news... But in fact, no one noticed at the time, because the gods of ancient times were always hard to find, and some of them were very reckless and brutal. They controlled powerful forces and even laws, and could destroy the world at will, but they often fought over a disagreement, so they tacitly avoided Kunlun Hill and the Five Color Formation. Even the more kind gods rarely interacted with the tribes after Nuwa left. It is said that some even liked to sleep in some hidden small worlds, sleeping for hundreds or thousands of years.
"However, there are some records about these that are not very formal,"
As Yuan Tao was speaking, he pulled out another book from somewhere. This book had an exquisite cover and contained a large number of exquisite paintings and illustrations with bright and vivid colors.
He opened the book, searched for a while, and then pointed to an article and said, "This is it. Although this is a biography, the legend in this article can be traced back to more than 10,000 years ago, because this was depicted in the murals when our royal city was first built!"
“It took so long!”
Wang Qiqing sighed and flipped through the biography curiously.
To be precise, this article is more like a "fairy tale". It is told in a very simple and straightforward way. It basically tells that a long time ago, two ancient gods disliked each other and often fought.
Later, the Five-Colored Formation was attacked by the "cunning and evil human race". In the face of the crisis, they shook hands and made peace, and together killed the "bad guys" among the human race and survived the crisis.
But once the crisis was over, they began to dislike each other again, until another ancient god persuaded them: "The life span of all living things in the world has a limit. Except for the Guixu Sea, which is eternal, even gods cannot escape wear and tear. When everyone becomes weaker and weaker, and finally disappears, there will be nothing left! So why don't we each take a step back and live in harmony in the limited time?"
The ending of the story is a very standard happy ending, in which the two quarreling ancient gods finally become good friends.
"This story..."
Wang Qiqing finished reading the whole story in just a few glances and didn't know what to say - this story was more like a fable, and fables are the easiest to fabricate and distort, and it is difficult to use them as a real historical reference.
"This is for the children of the Quanxian tribe, so it is naturally more straightforward and simple. However, there are many versions of this story. In some versions, the villains are humans, and in others, they are evil demons from outer space. They are all different. But no matter which version, one thing is retained - God is not eternal, and will also be "worn out" and even disappear. This is completely different from the knowledge we know.
"Of course, this statement may be fabricated just for the sake of the story's coherence and completeness, but it is undeniable that the disappearance of the ancient gods may be due to their complete death due to wear and tear. This argument has always been popular among the many speculations about the whereabouts of the ancient gods."
