The black robe kept nodding and suddenly said: "Ancestor, according to your statement, during the Shang Dynasty, the Emperor of Heaven took such care of the Shang Dynasty, that is, our Tiandao Alliance. Could it be said that he has something to do with the Shang tribe?"
The ancestor said calmly: "Yes, yes, no, no. Many years before the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, the Emperor of Heaven already existed in the sky. In ancient times, the gods in the sky also had various
After competing and fighting, the more than ten Heavenly Emperors left behind in the end could also command the Nine Heavens.
Above, there are main gods who manage many gods. However, these main gods will also have their divine power decline, or new gods will appear, with more power than the previous main gods, and they will win the hearts of the gods in heaven, so they can replace them and become the new emperor of heaven.
, there is no essential difference between this and the change of dynasties in the human world."
"Those who were able to ascend to godhood in the early years often fully absorbed the aura of heaven and earth in the human world and made great achievements in the world. Therefore, almost all of the mortal elites who can become gods and immortals can defeat all kinds of beasts and disasters in heaven and earth.
, leading the tribe towards
Prosperous tribal leaders can have the opportunity to become gods and immortals. After they ascend, they will also enjoy the worship of their tribesmen and accept their offerings. Therefore, they will also take care of these tribesmen and give them some oracles from time to time.
or refers to
It can even teach them some magic, such as making fire, making characters, making nets, making traps and other skills. These are the gods and ancestors who passed down to humans. Especially the art of making fire, in
In the heaven at that time, this could only be done by
If the forbidden arts mastered by the gods are passed on to humans, humans will have a great advantage over the beasts, and the balance between those beasts and humans will be broken. Therefore, for thousands of years, the gods of all generations have strictly prohibited humans from mastering them.
The method of making fire.”
The black robe widened his eyes and murmured: "Yes, wild beasts are afraid of fire. If humans hadn't mastered the art of making fire, even people who gathered into tribes would have been unable to resist the attacks of wild beasts. In this way, these
The gods in heaven actually help humans defeat the beasts and spirits in this world, and thus become the masters of heaven and earth. However, are all the gods transformed and ascended by humans? Are there no beasts?"
The ancestor curled up his lips and said: "Actually, animals that absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, such as birds and snakes, may ascend to become gods. However, if they become divine beasts, such as Canglong and Dapeng, even if they are gods,
Even in the sky, they will still be captured by the gods and become their mounts. It can be said that since humans have had flames, palms
Mastering the art of hunting gives you an absolute advantage over the beasts. Even the art of taming animals can be obtained from the ancestors in heaven. Just like the gods tamed the gods as mounts, humans can also use them as mounts.
Wild beasts like wolves became loyal slaves like dogs, and horses and cows became the livestock of the tribe."
Doupeng sighed and said: "These are the changes in heaven and earth since ancient times. In this way, it is inevitable that humans will dominate the world sooner or later, because as humans become stronger and stronger, in fact,
The threat posed to the gods in the sky is getting bigger and bigger. The so-called battle to confer gods will actually happen sooner or later.
It is bound to happen, even if there is no battle between good and evil caused by the Shang Dynasty, the too easy transformation, ascension, and too frequent contact and exchange between humans and gods will inevitably lead to the number and power of humans surpassing those in heaven sooner or later.
God, if there is a collective ascension by then, it will probably be the end of the gods in heaven."
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "Doupeng is right. That's it. During the Battle of the Gods, the gods in heaven, whether they were the decent Taoist immortals or the ancestors of the evil sect, were all surprised to find that in the human world,
After the creation of tribes, city-states, and dynasties for thousands of years,
, human power has developed to such an extent that during the war, countless gods from both factions were killed by mortal weapons. The techniques that were previously taught to humans for hunting wild beasts, gathering fruits, fishing and farming,
Developed by humans themselves, it has evolved into various types of warfare
The art of fighting, the bow and arrow that can be used to kill birds and beasts, has also become a weapon that can kill gods. This made the Taoist immortals and ancestors very afraid. From then on, the war of the gods ended with the Zhou Dynasty and Shang Dynasty, but the gods
They no longer care about this matter. They have interrupted and blocked the connection between heaven and earth.
In other words, it has absorbed all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, no longer allowing humans to ascend at will with magic, and even strictly prohibited the Shang Dynasty's model of sacrificing humans to heaven with boundless magic power. From then on, the Tiandao Alliance could only be forced to secretly
Going underground, that's where our organization comes from."
Heipao said angrily: "Since the gods of the good and evil factions have jointly made the decision to isolate the human world and not allow contact with the gods, why is it that only our Tiandao Alliance is unlucky? Although the Zhou Dynasty won, they also wanted to retain the tribe
, to worship the patron saints of various tribes, why isn’t this banned as well?”
The ancestor said calmly: "Actually, a lot of restrictions have been added to this aspect. On the surface, the eight hundred princes of the Zhou Dynasty won the Battle of the Gods, but the power of the Zhou Dynasty was strictly restricted. From then on,
They are no longer allowed to gain powerful power through large-scale human sacrifices to suppress other tribes and princes. The gods speak the words of heaven and earth to mortals, and from now on few
Then intervene in the tribal conflicts and wars in the world, and use Taoism, or other religions from other places, to maintain the incense of many tribal patron saints in the form of religious worship. Therefore, the world is the feudal model of Emperor Zhou, and heaven is
It is also the Taoist immortals who merge into one body, headed by Sanqing, and collectively enjoy the worship and incense of mortals in the world to maintain their existence in heaven."
Doupeng breathed a long sigh of relief: "So, decent Taoism has always existed, but because of our defeat in the war that year, our Tiandao Alliance could only go underground. It would take decades or hundreds of years before we could take advantage of the war to make sacrifices."
A large number of souls are used by the ancestors in heaven to restore their magic power.
Through our rituals, mana can be fed back to the gods of the Tiandao Alliance, giving them far greater power than ordinary mortals. With these powers and accumulated wealth and weapons, they can continuously create chaos and control the cycle of chaos.
It’s the rule between heaven and earth, right?”
The ancestor nodded: "It is true. When you succeed the gods, you can get a lot of memories of the previous gods by digesting the Gu worms in your body. However, these memories are not complete, and they will not become gods or immortals.
I won’t fully understand these past events, which is why I need to review the past events with you today.” (End of Chapter)
