Chapter 53 The Great Commonwealth
After dinner, Xun Yi returned to the room and sat quietly at the table.
On the table is the biggest harvest in the past ten days. A reading card from the Great Zhou Library and a stack of Imperial Beast cards.
"Is this the end of it?" there was an indescribable amazement in my heart. The twelve-day life of the City God has just made him adapt to the life of the City God, and now he is quite unaccustomed to being beaten as a mortal again.
However, Xun Yi understands that what outsiders borrow is not his own after all. He had no position, and he was not qualified to fight the new Chenghuang.
"I hope this Xinchenghuang can take good care of our side of the water and soil. Reaching out and touching the card, the spirits that could have been seen with the naked eye are still quietly sealed in the card.
Without the Seal of the City God, the Dharma Eye that connects Yin and Yang has also been lost, and he is truly returning to his former mortal life.
So, focus on the reading card next to it. The card itself was the key to the library, and when it was opened again, it appeared at the palace gate. Lu Hou leaned back in the soft chair and yawned, still holding a book in his hand.
"What's the matter, the matter over there in Miao County is done?"
For this well-informed elder, Xun Yi had nothing to hide: "Well, the matter over there in Chenghuang is completely over." So I wanted to take advantage of the last few days to use the library to have a good review. ”
The ratio of time spent in the library to the outside world is 10 to 1, in other words, 10 days of study here and only one day outside. If you study here for the rest of the next few days, you can make up for the wasted effort during this time.
Lu Hou obviously knew Xun Yi's intentions, but deliberately teased and asked, "Do you want to give you Enke's test paper this time?"
"Forget it, I'm not going to go through this backdoor yet. Xun Yi was reluctant to take shortcuts, so he showed his reading card and entered the library.
This time is different from the last time, the last time the situation was urgent, but now I have the leisure to read all kinds of books here.
The large library is divided into many areas, and there are roughly two types: divine and mortal. Most of the books on the Shinto side require high-level permissions, and even Xun Yi saw his own classics of "Maolin Sword Technique" and "Twelve Flower Laws".
"Don't count on it. The green dragon tattoo on his arm turned into a small green dragon in the library and wrapped around Xun Yi's neck: "This library is just a branch of a star in the Book of Hongsheng. There are a lot of books in it, most of them are projections, and if you want to really read, you need to go to a higher library. ”
The slender dragon's tail poked at the "Maolin Swordsmanship", and the swordsmanship book turned into a bubble and disappeared. "And the personal exercises are secretive, except for your high authority, otherwise you are not allowed to read them, and you can't pass them on at will. ”
After going around the Shinto area for a long time, what is the Artifact Department, the Divine Law Department, the Divine Beast Department, the Divine History Department, etc., all kinds of classics require extremely high permissions, and Xun Yi can't read them now. Even the "Encyclopedia of Plague Beasts" that I once saw didn't have the permission to read it.
In the end, he hastily chose a history book "The Final Ideal Township" with permission requirement one on the side.
After reading the preface, this is a summary of the evolution history of the two universes made by a god from the era of Emperor Yan.
Preface: "The world is vast, the flood is up and down, the times are changing, and the world is easier. ”
"The judgment of Hongmeng, the beginning of heaven and earth, this is the origin of the gods, so the name is called the world of the birth of the gods. ”
"In ancient times, the heavenly court was created, and the innate gods were immortal, so the name was called the world of Shenxuan. ”
"In ancient times, the five emperors ruled the world, all spirits were born, and the gods were communicated with witches, so the name was called - the world of gods and witches. ”
Qinglong saw that he was holding the book, and said on the side: "There is no need to read this kind of thing, it is just to explain the several eras of the evolution of the gods." This is not only our Heavenly Court, but also the other continent on the other side. ”
"In the initial stage of the birth of the gods, except for those innate gods, the rest of the people are unknown. There are few records of this section in the library. To put it bluntly, the replacement of the three primeval emperors is the prologue of the battle between heaven and earth, and in the initial creation stage of the heavenly court, various priesthoods have not yet been perfected. Moreover, there are no mortal beings in this era, and those who can exist in this era are innate beings. Or it's a god, or a divine beast, or it's a divine wood Yaocao. It is difficult for mortals to survive in this era, so it is called the world of divine declaration. ”
"The birth of mortals originated from the four generations of Heavenly Emperor Yuanwa. This female emperor created seventy-two acquired races, and the earth was noisy because of it. As the gods ruled the world, they gradually set their sights on these young beings. Because they have a hard time withstanding the power of the gods, the gods will choose some creatures with special talents to proclaim their oracles. This is the witch, the bridge between God and man, between heaven and earth. Our Heavenly Court, the Nine Pillars Divine System on the other side all came here in this way. The use of witchcraft to maintain bridges, or called priests, or priests, or temple blessings, is essentially the dependents of the gods. Cultivating the divine arts given by the gods, the future direction is that the gods belong to the gods. ”
"Then what do you mean by Shentong and Shenli in the back?" Xun Yi turned back, and explained the other two names of the gods and the world later.
"Shenli refers to the separation of man and God, from the ecology of mixing to isolation, which is also the era when all kinds of spiritual magic flourished. As for Shinto, that is the ultimate ideal place of Shinto. It is also a feat that His Majesty Emperor Yan has done half of it. ”
"Heaven is more precious than nine, supreme and extreme, Emperor Yan Shun the three ancient emperors, and the fate of the five ancient emperors plays the world of the gods. It's a pity that the alien gods invaded, and the success was lost. There is also the rise of the Yellow Emperor, adhering to the mandate of heaven to take charge of the emperor's sword to punish the destiny of the gods, and to open the world of gods. ”
"The world of gods is the ultimate goal of any world in which gods are exclusive. Everyone is God, and all living beings return from the day after tomorrow to the heavens. ”
This ascension of God to the world is the evolution of the entire universe to a higher level. With the efforts of the previous eight generations of Heavenly Emperors, Emperor Yan had already completed half of it. With the help of merit Shinto, lead all mortals to the path of promoting good and punishing evil. Meritorious cultivation of gods, in that era, every mortal had merit and divine powers.
In the description of this god, the era of the Yan Emperor is the one that is closest to the great ideals of the gods. The Book of Hongsheng is a bridge to gather the wisdom of all beings and bring everyone into the ideal hometown.
It's a pity that because of the invasion of alien gods, the world of god-like beings encountered twists and turns in the embryonic stage.
"This involves the first few Xenomorph Wars. Qinglong thought about it, flew away from Xun Yi, and brought back a few books for him. are also history books with low authority: "There should be some records in this, you can take a look." ”
Xun Yi held the books and flipped through them on the seat next to him, and these books explained some of the customs and customs of other continents. It's about how the other world changed from the age of gods and witches to the age of gods.
"Strange, the other world doesn't have the transition of the god's contemporaries?" On the Heavenly Court's side, there is a god's contemporaneous transition between the gods and the gods. But the other side does not have such a transition stage.
"The contemporaries of the gods are not excessive, although His Majesty Emperor Yan has failed now, but the rule of the gods is still one of the supreme ideals of the gods. All the gods in the world, although the rank is inevitable, but the gods will return to the glory of the Shenxuan era. And because of the number of people, the universe will be promoted again. ”
"In the other world, their roots are too shallow. Qinglong looked disdainful: "We have gone through the governance of nine generations of Heavenly Emperors, we should have stepped from the era of gods and witches to the era of gods, and used witches to guide mortals to the path of transforming gods." But because of the tragic dumping in the other world, generations of god kings have changed, so they simply don't have enough background. There were even some people who protested against the gods and broke away from the priestly system, and they had the original independent art and martial arts. ”
"Later, His Majesty Xuanyuan saw that we were at a disadvantage in this regard, so he simply evolved spells and combat skills from divine arts and divine skills in the other world, and simply simplified our Shinto system. Summarize the spells, martial arts, Confucianism, and qi refining one by one. ”
Xun Yi closed his eyes, and two seeds appeared in his mind. The seed symbolizes the world and evolves according to the very different histories of the two worlds.
Originally, the same innate gods were born, but the heavenly court entered an orderly era, and the heavenly court was used to unite the gods. Replace the emperor with the emperor to eliminate the catastrophe again and again, and eliminate the contradictions between the gods.
Contradictions accumulate, karma is introverted, and finally the fire of the operation burns the big tree, and the new world is cultivated in the hands of the new Heavenly Emperor. The rotation of this generation of Heavenly Emperors is to bear the karma of an era with the Heavenly Emperor.
The gods did not have a god to obey the people at the beginning, and they struggled with each other, and with the help of the fall of the gods, they eliminated their karma, so that the Shenxuan era ended early and entered the age of gods and witches.
It seems that the progress of the world stage is earlier than that of the Heavenly Court, and it seems to be progressing. But in essence, it is a helpless move. Because in the last years of the Shenxuan era, there were not many innate gods left in the other world. New life is born from the corpses of the gods, and the gods use these new nurture races to establish a belief system, transforming from primitive nature gods to believing gods. Fighting through the control of the races by the clerics further exacerbates the conflict.
On the other hand, in the Heavenly Court, the Yuanwa clan adheres to the Mandate of Heaven to create things, although the number of races is far inferior to that of the other world, but it is better to be gentle.
"Don't think it's a good thing that God is out of time. Qinglong said politely: "It is precisely because of the lack of savings to deal with it, coupled with the outbreak of the conflict between humans and gods, that there will be a system other than the study of divine arts by races and mortals." Only then was the so-called witchcraft and war skills and other mortal methods born. In the eyes of the gods, it's just child's play. ”
This kind of witchcraft and combat skills can't even help people live forever, and they were mastered by the gods at the very beginning of the other world. The gods live in seclusion behind the scenes, using the Age of Divine Departure to manipulate mortal battles for their own benefit.
However, the other world does have its own characteristics. A complete cosmic system, and the birth of any kind of new thing has its significance. Although this kind of sorcery and combat skills are not as good as divine arts, they are more convenient than divine magic because the power comes from oneself when attacking other worlds.
Heavenly Court was threatened by this kind of sorcery and warfare from the very beginning. In the realm of Heavenly Court, it was difficult for the divine skills of the Alien God Priests to perform, so this kind of simplified witchcraft and combat skills became the mainstream of the Alien World, making Heavenly Court suffer several defeats at first.
However, because of the original rule of the gods of Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court Universe is strong and has entered the other world. However, because the other world is isolated from the power of this world, it is difficult for those temple shrine maidens in this world to attract the power of the gods. It is entirely by virtue of the descendants of the gods that the heroes lead the people of this world to war.
In terms of generational replacement, the other party will be able to regenerate a mage warrior as cannon fodder in twenty years. But how could Heavenly Court be willing to use the descendants of its own gods to fight?
In the end, His Majesty Xuanyuan simply gave up the highest ideal of the rule of God for the time being, and transformed the first goal of Heavenly Court into a world defense war. And take the initiative to guide our world into the era of divine departure, simplifying the divine arts. However, unlike the opponent's combat skills and spells, our side has derived some systems that are enough to cultivate into gods with the help of the Book of Sacred Spirits, that is, the Spirit Dao. Qinglong was lying on the table, and the word "witch" was drawn out of his tail.
"The evolution of gods and witches to the separation of gods, all new types of power have evolved from the original system of gods and witches. Wu means guarding, guarding the race and protecting the country in the barbaric era, so the other world has a knightly way that is specifically based on the premise of protection. And we derive martial arts, and use martial arts to pass gods. There is also the way of Confucianism, which comes from the ritual and music education in witchcraft, and there are still various rituals of sacrifice inherited in Confucianism. Fang Immortal Dao and Qi Refiners all come from this way, and we call this new type of system the Spirit Dao. The other party is subdivided into various occupations. ”
Xun Yi silently interpreted two completely different worlds according to Qinglong's explanation. Eventually, the two worlds are now on the same level, and the ultimate goal is still God's contemporary.
"After going around in a circle, did you finally come back?" Xun Yi knew in his heart that this might be the difference between the nomadic civilization and the farming civilization among mortals.
"Boy, what are you doing! Aren't you here to review!" Lu Hou suddenly appeared behind him, picked up the ring ruler and twitched it fiercely: "Look at what these things are for! Stinky boy who is distracted by playthings, go over there to find a few poems and songs to read, or look at the essence of governing the country of his predecessors." Do you need to take the Shinto history exam when you're in Enko?"
"I'm studying the difference between nomadic and agrarian peoples. After all, there is some unrest in the north, isn't it?" Xun Yi forcibly retorted as he took the initiative to put away the books and go to the mortal area on the other side.
All kinds of classics collected by the Great Zhou are here, and the range of topics for the imperial examination is in these stacks.
"In the next few days, work hard!" Xun Yi tied Qinglong as a strip of cloth on his head, and also wrote the word "hard work" on Qinglong's body. Concentrate on this sea of books and study all kinds of famous books.
