Chapter 5467: Destiny determines destiny and canonize the gods
Doupeng also shook his head in disbelief and said: "Could it be said that these so-called righteous immortals want to eliminate human beings and empty the world?"
The ancestor sighed and said: "Yes, many of these Taoist immortals are not human beings who have ascended to become gods. Many of them are actually spirits and monsters in the world. This is because in the ancient times, humans were not the only ones in the world.
Many elves and monsters can also become immortals. They have no feelings for humans. Some gods are just because they are attracted by certain people.
They are regarded as patron saints and are only sacrificed and worshiped. But once they find out that these humans want to attack Jiutian and replace themselves, they will not hesitate to kill humans and completely exterminate humans. At least, between heaven and earth, because
Without people, the speed of spiritual energy dissipation will slow down, and the existing spiritual energy at that time is enough for these gods to survive for many years."
"But the gods and ancestors of the evil sect are opposed to this plan. Most of them are former leaders of human tribes who have achieved enlightenment, and have also developed the technique of swallowing souls to enhance their magic power, so they need future generations.
We have been offering sacrifices to them to provide incense and sustain our existence.
The Taoist Alliance has followed this path, so our ancestors, hoping to preserve humanity, only eliminated those upper-class humans who wanted to rebel in the Heavenly Palace, leaving other humans without ambitions to serve as slaves of the gods.
, as long as the sacrifices and incense continue, the evil gods can continue to maintain their existence."
"This is where the distinction between Taoist Immortals and Evil Gods began. The two sides have been arguing for a long time, but they have not come to a unified view, because even if the vast majority of human beings are wiped out by natural disasters and disasters, whether the aura of heaven and earth still exists?
How long it can exist, no one knows
I can guarantee that because this is the use of the power of heaven and earth, it is shocking. While consuming the huge mana of the gods, it does not necessarily allow the aura to exist between heaven and earth. Once there is no aura and no human sacrifices, all the gods will be very vulnerable.
Soon both body and soul will be destroyed."
"But the plan of the evil gods to preserve mankind has also been questioned. How to preserve mankind in the face of the catastrophe, and how much to preserve, is also unknown. What if mankind knows that such a terrible disaster is caused by the gods and ancestors in the sky?
, wouldn’t it be worse if they stopped offering sacrifices to the gods in heaven, and even became more hostile to the gods?”
"Finally, a wise man suggested that this disaster must be brought down. Failure to do so will not dissuade mortals from their ambition to challenge the gods. However, a small number of human beings must be preserved so that they can survive. There must be no human beings among these
The powerful kings of the past could not have people who were disrespectful to the gods and had ungrateful hearts. In this way, even if they escaped the great famine, there would still be humans who worshiped the gods in the world, and the incense and sacrifices would continue."
The black-robed man breathed a sigh of relief: "Ancestor, are you talking about Dayu's flood control? That means that the man who wanted to fight for nine days and start a war with the gods was the previous king of the world?"
The ancestor shook his head: "No, it's not the time of Dayu. It was tens of thousands of years ago, in the primitive wilderness. In fact, before the great flood, human beings had very strong technology and magic power.
They are far stronger than they are now. If they didn't have such ability, how could they dare to dream of fighting for nine days and challenging the gods? But it's because of their ambition and greed.
Greed, these plans were known to the gods, so they destroyed these ambitious human leaders and their countries with disasters and catastrophes. Only a very small number of religious priests retained their faith in the gods.
Only then did they escape the disaster, brought a small number of believers with them, and prepared ships in advance, which is why they were able to survive."
"After the great flood, these surviving humans also received some oracles, warning them that if humans continue to be greedy and disrespectful to the gods, the next disaster will only be more terrible. This is also the origin of the theory of induction between gods and humans in the Five Elements of Destiny.
, that is a memory from ancient times. If the leader is unworthy, violates the rules of heaven, and goes against heaven, disaster will inevitably occur. This is also a warning to future kings and continues to this day."
Doupeng sighed: "So it turns out that humans actually tried to challenge the gods in heaven tens of thousands of years ago. In this way, the evil gods and ancestors are the benefactors who left us humans and survived to this day.
.”
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, the ancestors still care about future generations after all. Of course, they just want to preserve human beings and retain their worship and sacrifice to the gods, because they do not believe in spiritual energy.
It will always exist. Sure enough, with the great flood between heaven and earth, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has been expedited. From then on, whether they are humans, elves, or monsters, those who can ascend to immortality and become gods are more and more
There are fewer and fewer. However, the connection between the gods in heaven and the priests in the world is getting closer and closer. The remaining humans think that they can escape because of the blessing of the gods in heaven, and they have no idea about the process in between.
Therefore, they worshiped the gods more devoutly, and the tribes composed of the few surviving humans began to sacrifice to their own patron saints. These patron saints would exist in the form of totems, and the incense was given to the gods in heaven."
The black robe gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "So, the Taoist immortals maintain their existence through normal tribal sacrifices and religious incense, while the evil gods use human sacrifice and martyrdom to devour souls.
Use magic to maintain your own magic power, this is good and evil
From this point of view, the righteous Taoist immortals want the stability of the world, while the evil gods and ancestors want a large number of people in the world to die and be sacrificed. The two paths go further and further until they can become gods.
The war is a large-scale war between the gods of good and evil, right?"
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "Black-robed Venerable, your judgment is very correct. Yes, the distinction between good and evil, the cycle of chaos and chaos, is like this. This battle has been fought from heaven to earth. Countless people have practiced for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
Taoist cultivation
Soldiers, mountain spirits and wild monsters all died in this battle. Even the gods in heaven also died in large numbers in the mortal world. The evil sect was defeated, but the decent Taoist immortals also suffered heavy losses. In this battle, because they took the initiative
Come to the human world to fight, so follow
Mortals also had a head-on conflict. With magic power and the help of gods, mortals killed a large number of gods in the sky in this battle. This shocked them more than the last great flood, so this
After the Battle of the Gods, the good and evil immortals reached an agreement. From then on, the immortals were no longer allowed to come to the human world. The world between heaven and earth was left to humans to manage and resolve. Correspondingly, the magic of heaven was not allowed to spread into the human world again."
