Chapter 739 The Origin of the War of the Four Kings
Under the blockade of the Heaven-Deceiving Sword Technique, Taibai and Lin Yun explained the art of splitting the spirit and the levels of gods.
People are divided into different classes, and of course Gods are also divided into different classes.
In the Age of Gods, sociality also existed, so the gods naturally had a standard of measurement.
However, unlike the way humans divide realms, the classification of gods is based on the strength of divine power and status, which is slightly more complicated than the classification of human monks.
Usually, the strength of a god's power matches his or her status. That is, if a god has a high status, his or her power will also be strong.
It seems that it is sufficient to rate them by their status. However, because of the existence of faith, some gods whose status is insufficient may have divine power that exceeds their status as long as they can make their believers devout.
So, in the end, Taibai proposed a more comprehensive grading system.
The gods are divided into three levels: God-Emperor, God-King, and God-Man. God-Emperor means that this god is powerful enough to suppress an empire, God-King means that he can suppress a kingdom, and God-Man is the most common god and also the largest in number.
Like Dongfang Yao, although he did not create his own empire, he had the strength to do so, so he was naturally considered a God-Emperor. Some gods did not have the status and power of a God-King, but they were able to create a kingdom and be named God-King.
The God Emperor is the limit of what a God can go.
If you want to transcend this realm, you need a person who transcends this realm.
The status will not change from the beginning, but the divine power will continue to accumulate. When it accumulates to a certain level, it can only be compressed. When it is compressed to the limit that can be tolerated and cannot be broken through, the gods can only choose to split themselves.
Unable to break through upwards, one can only divide one's own strength.
If their power had not been divided in half, the Four Saints would have been the absolute strongest in the Age of Gods.
"I am half of the White Tiger Holy Spirit, Canglan is half of the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit, Biluo is half of the Vermillion Bird Holy Spirit, and Canghai is half of the Black Tortoise Holy Spirit."
“Ah, this…”
Lin Yun thought of Xiaoqing in his body and Canglan who had always been in his heart, and realized that he really had a destiny with Qinglong!
Two green dragons, one big and one small, were inside his body.
However, Xiaoqing's Azure Dragon is different from Canglan's Azure Dragon.
Lin Yun was somewhat confused and asked, "Since you are the incarnations of the Holy Spirit, why are the powers of the other gods and holy beasts different except for you?"
The powers are different and the names have no connection. Lin Yun had never thought of this before.
Even a master of imagination like him couldn't guess it, it was all because these people's names were too confusing.
Taibai then explained: "Not all split souls will get the same power as my original body, the power they get may be just one of them. After splitting, there is not much relationship with the original body. We all have our own will and our own thoughts.
Despite this, we are actually very much in the same boat.”
The relationship between the four sacred beasts is very close. After the separation of their spirits, the four newly born gods also became the closest friends of the original four saints.
But only they themselves know about this connection between them.
Similarly, even gods who have reached the level of God Emperor may not necessarily know about the matter of splitting the spirit.
The divine man is the weakest level among the gods, but even as the weakest, he can easily defeat a human cultivator who has reached the realm of defying the heavens.
The name "Ni Tian Jing" sounds domineering, but in fact it is just the limit of human beings.
However, there is still a huge gap between the limits of human beings and the weakest gods.
Therefore, if Taibai were to go on an expedition, she would be invincible, unless there was divine punishment, or another strong man like Baizu appeared to punish her.
But there are only a few powerful God Emperors. The Four Spirits are all dead, Bai Zu is also dead, Dongfang Yao and Su E are also dead. How can anyone punish Taibai?
"What level of god is Qianqian?"
"God King, no more."
Taibai made a casual judgment without elaborating.
This also made Lin Yun feel the gap. Qianqian's thighs were indeed not stable enough. He had better hold Taibai's thighs tightly!
Qianqian, who was waiting in the temple, felt a heaviness on her head for no reason.
After giving Lin Yun some general knowledge, Taibai continued to tell some unknown stories.
It is precisely because gods must split when they reach their limits, and after splitting they cannot break through their limits again, the four spirits are very unwilling to accept this, so they begin to try new methods.
So, there was Taibai who loved to explore foreign lands.
In fact, Taibai seldom goes on adventures to foreign lands alone, and always goes with companions.
The four spirits all know that if they want to explore a higher path, the opportunity is only in the outer realm.
In the initial expedition, Taibai and the other four gods acted together, but no one knew about it.
It was this time that they found the ancient ruins in the outer world.
There is a place that Taibai suspects is the remains of the ancient heaven.
There, Taibai found the secret technique to build the Heavenly Palace.
To build the Heavenly Palace, as the name suggests, is to establish a dynasty and gather the power of the entire dynasty in one person.
The gods will become more powerful, thus driving the dynasty to become stronger, and then each will break through their limits.
This theory is similar to a perpetual motion machine.
As long as the dynasty and the God-Emperor continue to grow, breaking through the limits is inevitable.
So after the four God-Emperors returned, they established four God-Kingdoms.
After this, talents like Taibai became famous throughout the world.
Other gods followed suit and even created a group of god-kings.
After tasting the sweetness, Taibai became more and more enthusiastic about foreign lands, but Canglan and the others were more interested in building the kingdom of God. Therefore, Taibai often formed a team to explore on his own, and left the kingdom of God to others.
In addition, there is also the White Tiger secretly watching over things, ensuring that there won't be any major chaos.
As a result, Taibai's kingdom of God developed smoothly, followed by Canglan. The development of the other two kingdoms of God was not as good as that of Taibai, who was a hands-off boss.
This is very infuriating.
To get back to the point, Taibai traveled more to the outside world and naturally saw more things. As the puzzle pieces were completed one by one, she gradually uncovered a corner of the dusty history.
There once existed an extremely powerful prehistoric civilization, and in the end they all died.
Taibai speculated that in this ancient era, humans and gods did not live together. The gods lived in heaven, while mortals lived in the dust.
Finally, both the Kingdom of God in heaven and the Kingdom of Man on earth collapsed.
The gods fell and all living beings died.
Taibai did not elaborate on these archaeological parts with Lin Yun, but just said: "The fall of the ancient times gave me a deep sense of crisis. Maybe it was fate, maybe it was destiny, I got a magical book called the Book of Heaven."
Lin Yun: “…”
It’s a small world.
I have also seen the heavenly book you mentioned.
"The heavenly book told me that the twilight of the gods is coming and an era is about to end. I don't believe it, so I asked him for a solution."
"The solution is Qilin?"
Lin Yun already knows how to answer questions quickly.
Taibai nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Qilin. If it was just the Heavenly Book that said so, I would not believe it, but before I encountered the Heavenly Book, I saw an ancient stele that mentioned the Qilin."
Lin Yun quickly asked: "Do you still remember the inscription?"
"certainly!"
After Taibai finished speaking, he used his sword energy to carve words on the dark wall of the Sword Washing Pool: "In the valley of Jade Mountain, the ** lives; in the abyss of Yuanshui, the ** writes books. The Golden Crow is the matchmaker, and the Deep Spring is the betrothal gift. The zither and the harp sound, and the bells and drums are the music.
At the age of 100, he had a son named Qilin, who was blessed by Huang Tian and praised by Hou Tu. The Qilin was named after four beasts: the left one was called Qinglong, the right one was called Baihu, the back was decorated with Zhuque, and the feet were stepped on Xuanwu.
Lin Yun: “…”
There appeared, familiar invisible text.
Thinking that Su'e didn't dare to chant Qingnu's name, Taibai knew more, so there was no reason for him not to know the taboo.
Perhaps this is why she didn't recite it directly but engraved it instead.
At first Lin Yun thought she was just trying to show off.
"You, do you understand?"
Taibai asked Lin Yun, and Lin Yun knew that she was asking about the two vague areas.
It was clearly there, but Lin Yun couldn't see it clearly.
So angry!
But it doesn't matter, as we all know, people's names don't affect reading.
These two blurred places should be two names. Moreover, the two people later got married and had a baby named Qilin.
Qilin is also very powerful, and the four sacred beasts can only be its followers.
That’s roughly what it meant. Lin Yun nodded, indicating that he understood.
It feels like playing a game of who is undercover. Although I am an undercover myself, I have seen through other people's cards.
Taibai had no idea that Lin Yun had so many little thoughts, and she didn't doubt it.
Since Lin Yun is related to Qilin, he is of course related to the two forbidden beings. Maybe Lin Yun is their reincarnation.
There is another part of the inscription at the end, which Taibai did not engrave.
What she saw at the beginning was not a complete stele. A part was missing in the middle. What was written at the back was that Qilin died, blood rained for nine days, and then disaster struck and ** destroyed the world.
Taibai felt that there was no need to tell Lin Yun about this part. It was a taboo and it was best to say less about it.
Taibai directly talked about the prophecy of the heavenly book: "The four spirits will gather, the Qilin will revive, auspicious signs will reappear, and disasters will not occur. We all thought that if we activated our power, we could awaken the Qilin from our bodies.
To this end, we thought of many ways to resolve the disaster that was bound to happen, but unfortunately, we failed.
It was not until I saw you now that I realized that Qilin was not among us..."
The Four Sacred Beasts and the Four Divine Emperors had previously thought that the Qilin would awaken in their bodies, so they began a civil war.
Only the most powerful can gather the power of the four gods.
However, to be on the safe side, they decided to try it carefully, and it was not really incompatible.
Thus, the war between the four divine kingdoms began.
They launched the war in order to find a way to quell the disaster, but they did not expect that this attempt would usher in the era of Ragnarok.
After the war started, when they wanted to stop, they couldn't stop...
