In a sense, the development history of Zhetian World is a process of continuous degradation.
In the age of mythology, deities emerged in large numbers and emperors coexisted!
In the ancient times, there were many emperors and many restricted areas!
In the ancient times, emperors were hard to come by and their lives were short-lived!
Why?
Resources are being cut!
The number of elixirs is decreasing, the restricted areas are being occupied, and all kinds of precious materials are constantly being consumed!
The Age of Mythology was an era with the most abundant materials. Ancient books record that there were more than twenty kinds of elixirs at that time. There were only a few people in the restricted area. All kinds of rare minerals could be found everywhere. It was not difficult to refine the Nine-turn elixir.
Almost all the life-extending mythical objects that remain in the world are left over from the mythical age.
For example, Shanhuang, the fragment of the Nine-turns elixir that Wang Ziwen obtained by chance, the Nine-turns elixir that Xiaoyao Tianzun still has, and the complete Nine-turns elixir that was eaten by the six-eared macaque, etc.
All this fully shows how "rich" the deities in the mythical age were!
Later, in the ancient times, the resources for refining elixirs gradually became scarce, so the ancient emperors could only chew the elixir to survive their second life. If they were lucky, they could find a few fragments of elixirs and live for thousands more years.
In the ancient times, the world became even more barren.
The divine source liquid that could be seen everywhere in the ancient times became a rare treasure and had to be refined by the emperor himself.
Less than half of the more than twenty kinds of elixirs that have appeared in history have been destroyed by disaster, and the survivors are difficult to find. They were either taken into restricted areas or hidden in some secret places.
The poor emperors have a hard time finding an elixir to survive for the second life, let alone the Nine Transformations Golden Pill.
Why are the ancient emperors of later generations generally not as powerful as the Mythical God?
It’s not that their talents are inferior to others, it’s just that they don’t have enough time to develop.
In this world where immortal gates are closed and immortality is not possible, resources represent lifespan.
Lifespan represents strength!
In the first life of enlightenment, the elixir of death can help you live in the second life, and then rely on the Nine Transformations Golden Pill to live in the third life.
The third emperor's destiny is at least forty or fifty thousand years old, so his combat power is definitely not comparable to that of the Supreme Being who only lived for ten thousand years.
If I can work harder, work harder, and live a fourth life, I will have a chance to become a worldly immortal.
Generally speaking, when a supreme emperor lives to the third life, he can already initially converge on his own path and not affect those who come after him. Therefore, it is not impossible for the two emperors to meet.
From this perspective, the deities in the mythical age were actually very lucky, because they had enough resources to squander and people with the same ideals to communicate with.
Unlike later generations, the Supremes could only lie in the restricted area and pretend to be dead, unable to say a few words.
…
Feng Jinghong has always had a doubt, how did Lingbao Tianzun die?
Judging from the fact that his body transformed into the Star Continent, he definitely did not die a normal life, but it was more likely that he died unexpectedly.
But this is difficult to understand.
He was able to leave a Nine-Revolution Elixir for future generations, which means that he must have taken one.
In other words, he lived at least three lives!
Who can kill a third-generation Tianzun who also has a powerful killing weapon like the Zhuxian Sword Formation?
Why did he stay on guard against corpses until his death?
And why is the divine realm imprisoned?
Now, the answer to this question is slowly stated in the mouth of Xiaoyao Tianzun.
…
"Do you believe that there are immortals in the world?" Xiaoyao Tianzun asked suddenly.
Feng Jinghong nodded: "Yes, I'm sure of this!"
Xiaoyao Tianzun looked at him in surprise: "There were rumors back then that immortality came from the Immortal Realm, but now I somewhat believe it."
Feng Jinghong did not respond directly to this question, but said: "When the Emperor and several Supremes attacked the Immortal Road with such great fanfare, they must have been very sure that the Immortal Road existed!"
Xiaoyao Tianzun was slightly silent: "Yes, because we saw real immortals back then!"
Damn it! Feng Jinghong could hardly maintain the composure on her face.
There were immortals in the age of mythology? I'm young, so don't tease me!
Just when he was confused, Xiaoyao Tianzun added lightly:
"It's not right to say that. To be precise, it's an 'immortal corpse'!"
"Fellow Taoist, please elaborate!" Feng Jinghong's interest was really aroused.
"During the reign of Daode Tianzun, ancient corpses appeared in the underworld. As soon as the corpse energy appeared, it flooded the endless star field, and hundreds of millions of creatures were transformed into corpse soldiers!
Daode Tianzun immediately took action to suppress it, but found that the corpse was indestructible. His realm during his lifetime should have exceeded the supreme realm, and he was suspected of being a legendary immortal!
At that time, Daode Tianzun had reached the twilight years of his third life, and his combat power was no longer at its peak.
Fortunately, it was really just a corpse, not a real living being. Even if it was immortal, it would not pose much of a threat, so the Taoist Heavenly Lord used his Taoist weapon, the Xuanhuang Exquisite Tower, to seal it.
In this way, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the underworld has always been peaceful. The moral god is unable to withstand the passage of time, and the Yuanshi god has attained enlightenment and rules the heavens.
Then, the unexpected happened!
That corpse somehow gave birth to spiritual wisdom, destroyed the Xuanhuang Exquisite Tower, and broke out of the seal.
Although his spiritual intelligence has only just begun to develop, and he does not have the supreme means compared to his physical body, it is still ridiculously strong, enough to rival the Heavenly Lord.
Yuanshi Tianzun sacrificed his life to suppress the turmoil and finally died in battle, but he still failed to destroy the immortal corpse, only causing him to be seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep.
Hou Lingbao Tianzun attained enlightenment, lived out the emperor's destiny for three generations, and forged the first killing formation in ancient times. At his peak, he entered the underworld and finally completely destroyed the immortal corpse.
Because the four killing swords were stained with real immortal blood, they were called the Four Immortal Killing Swords!
From Daode to Lingbao, after three heavenly deities, the catastrophe was finally brought to an end. Unfortunately, Lingbao was too seriously injured in that battle and was eventually defeated.
Otherwise, with his talent, he might be able to survive his fourth life and enter a whole new realm."
Speaking of this, Xiaoyao Tianzun's tone was a bit sad.
Feng Jinghong frowned: "Why didn't the other supreme beings take action at that time? With an immortal corpse in front of you, couldn't you be moved?"
Xiaoyao Tianzun glanced at him indifferently: "Of course I am tempted. In fact, we went there when the immortal corpse first appeared, but we couldn't get any substantial results.
In addition, it was already the late stage of the Mythical Age at that time, and it was not too long before the road to immortality that we estimated would be opened. We did not have only one way to go, so we assisted Daode Tianzun to seal it as a retreat.
Otherwise, he would not be able to seal the ancient corpse with his own strength.
Later, Yuanshi Tianzun severely injured it, and we went to the underworld again, but at that time, the immortal corpse had already recovered some of its power, and it was not as threatless as before. Some of the supreme beings who had studied it in depth were even infected by it and mutated.
I can only stop.
Later, when Lingbao destroyed it, the matter ended there.
It wasn't until Emperor Zun failed on his way to immortality that the supreme beings had no choice but to start digging deep into the underworld, hoping to find something."
Feng Jinghong sighed. These Supreme Beings clearly had more than one chance to destroy the immortal corpse, but they kept it greedily. As a result, they ended up hooking up with two upright Heavenly Beings in their prime. It was really annoying and deplorable.
.
"Now that the underworld is in such decline, it seems that those people must have failed." Feng Jinghong said.
"It's not a complete failure. They did develop something." Xiaoyao Tianzun said.
"Like what?"
"Reincarnation!" Xiaoyao Tianzun shouted loudly.
"At the beginning, everyone was waiting for the road to immortality, but only one person was always studying the method of reincarnation in the underworld, and the facts proved that he succeeded."
"Ming Zun?"
"Not bad!" Xiaoyao Tianzun nodded.
"Mingzun's success gave others hope, but after millions of years, no second winner emerged.
Maybe it’s because the Hades himself was channeled from a corpse, or maybe it’s for other reasons, but in the end he was the only one who succeeded. This road seems to only be able to accommodate one person and cannot be copied!”
Feng Jinghong nodded. No wonder the underworld has no immortal substances but has gathered so many supreme beings. It turns out that they are all studying reincarnation.
Later, the reason why they broke up and went into various restricted areas was probably not only because they were afraid of the resurrection of the Hades, but also because they could no longer endure staying in the underworld.
"Then do you know about God's Domain? Why would Lingbao Tianzun circle such a forbidden area?"
