The war was ended.
The struggle between Yan and Huang lasted for thousands of years.
The last battle, the Battle of Banquan, which affected the peace of the world, also came to an end. Peace came and all the spirits rested and recuperated.
Huangdi won and Yandi lost.
The world was not surprised by this result, but they were surprised that a creature who could compete with the Emperor appeared during the war.
A dragon king whose name is Wei Guang Bi Chen.
Before this, the world had never heard of the existence of such a dragon king. Although people call him Dragon King, they unconsciously place him in the same position as the current two emperors, and the title is full of awe.
The rivers, lakes and seas were boiling after this battle, because an emperor actually appeared among the leaders of the scales.
Bailin would not be as polite as other creatures. Seeing the majesty of the Dragon King, he would openly call him by the Emperor's name. I just feel proud and proud, just like the Shennong clan and the Xuanyuan clan who ruled the people across the world, being the blood descendants of the emperor. Then together with the group of monsters, they set off a wave of establishing the emperor of the monster clan.
The mighty and powerful Dragon Lord, all the monsters and beasts call this name.
The human race has been glorious for too long. Even the righteous gods have to serve the emperor. The emperor is born to command all things in the world. In the eyes of the emperor, they are all ministers.
The demons also want an emperor.
Peace is just the wishful thinking of some people, and cause and effect are still entangled.
He even got entangled with Li Xi'an.
…………
Emperor Yan's palace.
Li Xi'an was sitting in a corner of Emperor Yan's palace just like when he first came to Chendi.
However, what was different from the original was that despite the accumulation of drugs and poisons, Shennong was still an emperor, one of the two most powerful creatures in the world, and mastered the most powerful flame and the most outstanding alchemy cauldron in the world. technique.
What's sitting on the bed now is just a withered old man.
"You are going to die, Shennong." Li Xi'an's eyes were like a deep pool. He stared at the withered old man and recounted the emperor's death date.
"At least not now." Shennong said, his divergent eyes gathered, and he stretched out his hand to make gestures in the air.
According to the trajectory of the finger, this is divine writing.
At least that's what the creatures of this era call this writing.
It is rumored that this kind of writing is the origin of the fire of human civilization today. It was found on stone tablets. The Suiren clan, the first ancestor of mankind, understood and recorded this kind of writing, preserved it and passed it down to later generations. Divine writing brought civilization and power, which was a leap forward compared to the stone spears and blunt weapons before humans.
Only a few people can master and use it, but it is enough.
The human beings who were enslaved and exploited by the demon clan quickly rose up with this power and were unstoppable. The past of providing blood and food to the demon clan is no longer the past. The Suiren clan's warriors swept across the wilderness and spread the fire of civilization wantonly. This is how the world today came to be.
According to rumors, the Suiren family once burned all over the world, just to force the Dragon King to surrender and spread clouds and rain for the survival of the human race.
Suiren also became the first creature to receive the attention of God.
He was called the Fire Ancestor and the Sui Emperor, and because he was the first to win the attention of heaven, he was also called the Emperor. The human emperor, the emperor, later became the most respected position in the world. Sitting in this position, he had the power to command all things in the world. Even the righteous god with the fruit status could not disobey orders.
Emperor Sui gave birth to Fuxi and Nuwa, and Fuxi and Nuwa combined to give birth to Shaodian, the father of Emperor Yan and Huangdi.
These are all records in the ancient books that can be read in the palace of Emperor Yan of Chen Di. They are not secrets. After all, this is just a family tree. How Lian Suiren discovered the stone tablet, how he understood the divine inscriptions on the stone tablet, and where the stone tablet is, are not mentioned in the classics. The classics focus on the achievements of the ancestor Suiren, such as conquering giant beasts, slaying great demons, burning the world, etc.
Then Fuxi and Nuwa were introduced, and the two human emperors were described in such detail that it seemed as if the historian was writing behind the two human emperors. Whatever they did, the historian would write it down word for word.
There are very few records in Shaodian.
Very little, just a few words.
But the two sons of the Human Emperor can have two extremely outstanding descendants of the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor. In any case, this son of the Human Emperor is not simple.
Among the ruins of the old Kyushu that Li Xi'an visited before, the only arrival mentioned by the guardians was Shaodian.
Shaodian seems to have deliberately concealed his existence. A powerful father and an outstanding heir, his sense of existence is minimal.
"I promised you that I would clarify the cause and effect of everything for you, including the secret that my father, Shaodian, had hidden all his life." Shennong's fingers stopped in the air, and the golden words took shape, with the outline like a blooming lotus.
His words also recalled Li Xi'an.
Li Xi'an carefully looked at the golden divine inscriptions. The divine inscriptions reflected in his eyes seemed to be the opening of the Zhou Dharma.
"This is the first divine inscription on the stone tablet. It is the origin of everything. Suihuang Qiuji has been pursuing its meaning all his life. He has read and understood many subsequent divine inscriptions. The most outstanding one he has mastered is the fire , so even if he doesn't..." Shennong paused, taboos flowing in his blood, and taboos were warning.
"My strength has not completely faded and I still cannot speak freely."
"It's okay." Li Xi'an said.
"Emperor Sui has the best understanding and ability to use the divine words that symbolize fire, so he has the power to burn mountains and boil seas."
"What about you? Your title is Yan, is it similar to Sui Huang?"
"No, it's not close. If I abandon taboos, my power will not be comparable to that of my ancestors. In the sacred texts that symbolize the principles of all things in the world, what I understand is life, a power that keeps all things alive. Whether it is grains, medicine , Baicao, in the final analysis is to let my people survive and not suffer.”
"Can you understand? Our lifespan is much longer than that of my people. Even the Shen'ao, which is famous for its long lifespan, cannot survive us. This allows us to understand more clearly what human life is like today. It’s not easy. The scenes of drinking blood and offering blood food seem to be just yesterday, but these are already far away to my people, as far away as legends.”
Shennong's eyes were bright, not like a dying person, but like a fire burning in his eyes.
"Lying like this really feels like lying in a coffin. I'm really not used to it." Shennong supported his withered upper body with his hands. The strong bronze muscles atrophied, making the skin feel like it was sticking to the dead skin on his bones.
Emperor Yan's palace was really simple, even the beds he rested on were square, without any extra decorations. Shennong wanted to sit up, but found that he had no support. He had never needed to lean on before, so he never thought that his bedroom would make him unable to sit still.
Li Xi'an's expression moved. The vine branches stretched from under the bed and from the eaves, forming a backrest for Shennong to sink in comfortably.
"Oh!" Shen Nong stroked the rattan and exclaimed, "What a convenient magical power."
Shennong recounted the past slowly and lowly. This was not what Li Xi'an needed, but he listened and nodded from time to time. For a moment, in Emperor Yan's palace, there was only Shennong's slightly hoarse narrative voice between the two.
"My daughter drowned in the sea. Oh, it was nothing more than the fault of those restless scale beasts. Her spirit turned into a bird, holding rocks in its mouth every day to fill the East Sea. I led my troops to conquer the East China Sea, killing and causing chaos. scale beast , I will pay for my sins with the Dragon King’s descendants. There is nothing to say about this battle. The old dragon was afraid of me. The true dragon’s pride was broken by Emperor Sui thousands of years ago. I won the victory easily.” “The demon clan is not restless. , They are just waiting for some opportunities. No individual in their group can compete with us. Especially after the Battle of Banquan and Xuanyuan and I broke the contract, they were even more afraid of us. Likewise, they were even more afraid of us. The position is also more coveted. They don’t know the reason why we are so powerful, and they only attribute it to the unimaginable power that this position gives us.”
"The throne of the emperor now only appears in the human race, and there has never been an emperor in the demon race. Lord Long, do you know the hustle and bustle in the outside world after the Battle of Banquan? Those demon clans were extremely excited, and the group of demons found their leader. You are not only the Hundred Scales Chief, Dragon King cannot describe your power, you are an emperor equal to me.”
"So, you still want to expose me to the world. Why, do you think the world is not chaotic enough?"
"This is one of the promises I made with you, Mr. Long." Shennong on the wicker chair spread his hands, and the lotus-shaped divine inscription changed into another divine inscription. Shennong threw this divine inscription to Li Xi'an, "This is my sincerity, the accumulation of what I have learned throughout my life, and the original divine inscription that symbolizes life. At the same time, I will give you the throne of the demon clan. Only in this position can you see clearly More things, otherwise, you are just an outsider in the fog.”
"You want to make a game." Li Xi'an said.
"If I were the emperor of the demon clan, at least when I existed, the demon clan would not cause large-scale rebellion. If it weren't for me, I don't know which vicious demon would come to the throne. The situation would not be as you expected. Shennong, hurry up. Do you still want to keep your descendants safe after you die?”
"No way." Shennong smiled, "If I die, won't I still have Xuanyuan?"
"How long can Xuanyuan live?" Li Xi'an asked. He used the sword box as a long table, resting his elbow on the sword box to support his chin, his eyes rolling on Shennong's shriveled face, "You are afraid, after all, God has paid attention to mankind. It has been too long. From the beginning, humans have reached today's status and strength, which is like a sudden gift and a beautiful dream. You don't know how long this dream will last. Gifts never come out of thin air. Maybe they will come in the future. Humanity has to pay the price.”
"What price can pay for everything today?" Li Xi'an took the divine inscription and whispered.
"Yeah, what kind of price can we pay for what we get?" Shennong sighed.
He lowered his head and observed his physical condition, "I have withered to this extent, and the taboo still won't let me go. Lord Long, is there any way you can keep me away from the world? To be precise, away from everything in the world."
< br>
Shennong hesitated for a moment, "When I was fighting Xuanyuan, our spirits were torn and entangled with each other, forming a wonderful realm. In that realm, we gained freedom that we had never had before. Compared with us in that realm, We walk in this world as if we were carrying shackles. I can’t describe to you in detail what it feels like, but I know that the influence of taboos on our bodies is weakened when we are in this realm.”
"That battle was the first time we released the forbidden power, and the destructive power caused was actually far greater than we expected. So there are still many doubts. When Xuanyuan dropped the meteor, we originally restrained our own spirits and let The people left this battlefield. The fact is that they can't do it. The spirits in the world still don't belong to them. Even we can't explain this doubt. Fortunately, the spirits attribute the reason to you."
"They think that your arrival has affected the world. You are the third emperor besides me and Xuanyuan, so you can naturally affect the world. But you and I both know that the truth is not the case." Shennong said.
"Your taboo power is the law. The area you describe as wonderful is actually the battlefield prepared by the rules for you. It is commonly known as holy war and the battlefield of dimensionality. It is naturally far away from the world and isolated from cause and effect." Li Xi'an held up the coin. The Divine Rune of Life studied it carefully, and the light emitted by the Divine Rune made his face unstable, and the outline formed a shadow. Only the eyes that stared at the Divine Rune were always bright.
"Law..." Shennong repeated the term.
"The existence above the ancestors is holy. This level of life is called the law, and the power controlled by the law is the law. This kind of life controls one side of the rules of the universe and has unimaginable power. You use it to predict And a corner of the starry sky that judges the seasons can be destroyed by the anger of a law practitioner. ”
"Do we have such power?" Shennong said unexpectedly. Destroying mountains and burning oceans is the limit of power in this world. He never thought that the power he possessed could cause such amazing destructive power.
"You have never left this world and do not know the special nature of this world. It is much stronger than the stars in the universe, so you cannot show the destructiveness that belongs to this level of life." Li Xian opened his hands. , a sea of stars appeared in the scaly palm.
Shennong easily understood everything Li Xi'an showed.
The sea of stars wandered around, suddenly enveloping Shennong.
The twinkling stars are the source of light in the dark universe, and there are many dim and insignificant stars like the earth beneath their feet.
This is the universe.
Then the star sea changed its appearance, because a huge thing stirred it up, and the huge stars were like dust in the eyes of that thing.
It was a creature that looked like a cow, with one foot and its skin covered in thunderstorms. Its thunderstorms spread in the breath, and it was just one of the billions of thunders that shattered the star. The center of the constellation continued to erupt with blazing light, and in the midst of thunderstorms, the giant beast roared at its enemies.
What kind of enemies does such a creature have?
Shennong looked over and saw endless flames. The fire was so dazzling that he could not clearly see the sacred creatures surrounded by the flames. Even the Suihuang praised in the record did not possess the ardor displayed before Shennong's eyes. The battle between the ancient beasts recreated by Zhou Fa was as if he were actually there, making him hold his breath and concentrate.
Shennong heard the worship of all souls and witnessed the shouts of pilgrims.
"The Law of Thunder."
There is no doubt that it is the giant beast.
"Returning Fire!"
"How is it possible? The fire that returns to the origin?"
The Fire of Return... is the creature that controls the flame. The name has changed and it is more respectful. He can hear the fear of the Fire of Return in those voices. Does the name of returning to the source mean a more powerful law?
In the sea of stars, thunderstorm and fire meet.
Li Xi'an clenched his fist, and all the scenes were extinguished in his palm.
At this time, Shennong woke up with a start, his face still solemn. He didn't know what he saw clearly in the final collision of thunder and fire. At this moment, he stared at Li Xi'an, as if comparing and confirming.
"Is that divine text the law you mentioned?" Shennong reacted and withdrew his comparing eyes.
"No, there is a lot of information in the divine texts, which is closer to the sum of spirits. Which spirit is contained in which divine text. It even includes the practice system of the old era. This is not the text of the law, but a civilization. The fruit, or the fire of the old era, is left to future generations to ignite the darkness." Li Xi'an explained without caring.
"Didn't you interpret it? After interpreting it, have you achieved the law?" Li Xi'an was confused by the question Shennong asked.
"But there are also things that cannot be deciphered, such as the lotus. My father relied on this lotus-shaped writing to find it -" Shennong said a noun, but the noun disappeared.
A strange power echoed.
Li Xi'an narrowed his eyes.
The next moment, darkness expanded. Shennong did not resist and was swallowed up by this realm.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw only the vast stars wandering in the darkness, and several huge statues of gods sitting cross-legged at the end of the darkness. The Milky Way is bright, but Shennong always feels that this place is missing something natural. For example, there should be something on the side of the Milky Way, but it seems empty now.
The world in the heart.
The strange power rippled out, hitting the outside of the world like a giant hammer, making a deafening muffled sound.
Here, Shennong succeeded in saying the name.
He was no longer calm.
"Kunlun is empty." The veins on Shennong's face were pulsing, as if he had suffered great pain. On the surface of his withered body, the veins were swimming and crawling like a python.
As if drowning, he repeated the words his father said to him back then——
"I dug up the palace of God and dug out the power that does not belong to this world. That is taboo, that is the 'source'."
