This divine punishment is more of a process and is unlikely to cause any real harm to Jiang Chen. Otherwise, would Heaven really dare to hurt him?
After all, it was because he had made contributions to the prehistoric times. Unless Jiang Chen really destroyed the world, God's punishment for him would always be a small punishment but a big punishment, rather than really killing him.
What really made Jiang Chen look weird was not because of heaven's punishment, but for other reasons. He had just had a dream.
Can you believe it? Not long ago, when he was in retreat, he actually fell asleep and had a dream. This was simply outrageous.
When his strength reached Jiang Chen's level, he no longer needed sleep. As for dreaming, it was even more impossible.
Dreams are an extension of thinking. If Jiang Chen couldn't control his own thinking, he wouldn't be able to reach this level of cultivation.
The quasi-sage's dream itself is an extremely strange thing, not to mention that he had this dream for quite a long time.
This is also the reason why Jiang Chen did not appear earlier. Otherwise, with his character, how could he sit back and watch the Yiren lineage return to the human race, and would have intervened long ago.
In fact, he fell into a dream, and he didn't wake up until this moment.
Speaking of that dream, it was also weird. Jiang Chen actually returned to his previous life. No, it should be said that he watched from the perspective of a bystander how the prehistoric era would evolve in the future without him.
If there were no Jiang Chen, the next evolution of the Great Desolate World would be almost the same as the world Jiang Chen lived in in his previous life.
Around the time of the Jin Dynasty, the great supernatural power practitioners of Dongsheng Shenzhou had been preparing for many years to build a fairyland and officially began to implement it.
During this process, no force came forward to stop it, so there is no doubt that the plan of this group of powerful people was successful.
They used their great supernatural powers to extract the essence of Dongsheng Shenzhou and brought it into the broken boundless starry sky. Combined with the essence of stars and the energy of chaos, they evolved a world even larger than the heaven - the fairy world!
When the Immortal Realm was first opened, it was a world at the level of heaven, earth, and universe. It was more powerful than the current boundless starry sky and was at the pinnacle of this realm.
At the same time, after the opening of the Immortal Realm, it immediately replaced the Heaven Realm and became the center of the Three Realms, and even all the heavens and realms.
That's right, in order to enhance the status of the Immortal Realm, the group of great supernatural beings used their great supernatural powers to penetrate the passage between the Immortal Realm and the heavens and all the worlds. With the power of all the worlds, they forcibly raised the level of the Immortal Realm, which made it surpass the Immortal Realm.
Above the heaven.
The Immortal Realm replaced the Heaven Realm and became the center of the ancient world, and the original four major continents also lost their due status and were replaced by the heavens and the world.
It can be said that since the opening of the Immortal Realm, the prehistoric situation has changed. From the Three Realms Era, we have officially entered the Ten Thousand Realms Era. The heavens and the Ten Thousand Realms have become the new mainstream, and the Three Realms have officially become history.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was not shocked at all, because this was all expected.
If there were no others in the prehistoric world, no one would think of reshaping the prehistoric world, and naturally no one would stop the group of great supernatural beings from creating the fairyland. The prehistoric era is moving towards the era of all realms, and it is not just following the trend of the times.
Although different roads are not the ones he wants to take, Jiang Chen can still get a lot of inspiration after reading them, which can improve his realm to some extent, and even improve his success rate in reshaping the ancient world.
Therefore, Jiang Chen watched it with great interest at first. But after the birth of the fairy world, things gradually went wrong.
At some point, Zhen Yuanzi quietly appeared in the abandoned four major continents, and offered up the Book of the Earth, manifesting the shadow of the original primitive land, trying to refine the abandoned four major continents and reshape the primitive land.
.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen still didn't understand that Zhen Yuanzi, who seemed to be the most harmless to humans and animals in the prehistoric period, was the mastermind behind the plan to create a fairyland. Moreover, his purpose in formulating this plan was not to create a fairyland, but to create a fairyland.
Promote yourself to enlightenment.
I have to say that after thinking about this, Jiang Chen really admired Zhen Yuanzi. The layout was so deep and far-reaching, not only involving hundreds of great supernatural beings, but also changing the pattern of the ancient world.
Such a method is consistent with Jiang Chen's impression of a person with great supernatural powers. He uses the heaven and the earth as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, laying out an eternal layout that is boundless.
What is a person with great supernatural powers? This is it!
The pattern of great supernatural beings was vividly demonstrated by Zhen Yuanzi.
However, although creating the Immortal Realm is good for Xuanmen, it is not good for other forces. Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi's move is not without cost.
When he was refining the four continents and preparing to become enlightened, he was immediately besieged by many powerful people in the world. The leaders were none other than Empress Houtu and Empress Nuwa, followed by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, and many others.
The innate great witch of the witch clan.
In addition, there were many great supernatural powers who appeared and started to kill Zhen Yuanzi. Well, even Jade Emperor, the most insignificant great supernatural power user, did not hold back and joined the ranks of besieging Zhen Yuanzi.
.
Those who took action were basically strong men who were involved in the ancient world. By doing this, Zhen Yuanzi not only created the immortal world and diverted the fate of the ancient world, but also prepared to wipe out the remaining luck of the earth.
Neither the masters in heaven nor the races living on earth could spare him.
With so many strong men acting together, even ten Zhen Yuanzi could be beaten to death. However, with the success of the creation of the fairy world, a group of people with great supernatural powers all owed Zhen Yuanzi a favor. For this reason, they had to
He tried his best to protect Zhen Yuanzi to the death.
The war lasted for a long time, and finally ended with Zhen Yuanzi's side gaining the upper hand and winning.
However, although Zhen Yuanzi won, it was also a tragic victory. He had refined the four continents, but only 90% of them, leaving 10% of each of them unrefined. He stayed in place as a
The last habitat of all ethnic groups.
In the Earth Immortal Realm, Zhen Yuanzi achieved his wish and successfully attained enlightenment. He set foot in the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and made his title as the ancestor of the Earth Immortals worthy of his name.
However, he has only refined 90% of the four major continents, and there is still 10% that has not been refined. This leads to the fact that Zhen Yuanzi's avenue is not as perfect as imagined, and there are still some flaws.
Therefore, after he became enlightened, his strength did not reach the expected state, on par with the saints, but was weaker than them.
With no other choice, Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to take the newly refined Earth Immortal Realm to the center of the world, preparing to integrate the world into one, so as to complete his path and rush to a higher realm.
With the Immortal World and the Earthly Immortal World as the foundation, it would be difficult for all the worlds in the world not to develop. And with the birth of the Immortal World, the broken endless starry sky also began to change, and began to repair itself at the cost of the overall decline of one level.
The star fragments were completely disconnected and evolved into brand new stars. Over the long years, they gave birth to living beings yesterday. This is the origin of Jiang Chen's previous life and the vast starry sky in the universe.
Let’s not mention the world and the starry sky for now, let’s just talk about the four major continents with only 10% left. The area has been reduced by 90% out of thin air. It can be said that it has shrunk many times.
In this way, Jiang Chen's early doubts were also solved.
When he traveled to the four major continents in the early years, he once lamented that the four major continents were so vast that even if the gods were rushing all the way, it would still take more than ten years to travel from Nanzhan Buzhou to Xiniu Hezhou.
But Tang Monk, a mere mortal, only spent more than ten years traveling from Chang'an to Lingshan by walking. This speed was really frightening.
Now that he saw it, Jiang Chen understood that the area of the four major continents was so much smaller. It only took Tang Monk more than ten years to reach Lingshan from Chang'an on a white dragon horse. This speed was not only not fast, it was actually slow.
The area of the four major continents suddenly shrank to one-tenth of its original size, and the impact was not insignificant. To put it simply, the living space of each ethnic group became smaller, and the pressure for survival increased accordingly.
The quantity has not changed, but the resources have decreased by 90%. In order to compete for those limited resources, wars naturally broke out.
First of all, the Yiren lineage launched an attack on the human race. Under normal circumstances, the Yiren lineage would never be an opponent of the human race, but the situation at that time was not very normal.
In order to open up the world and occupy the mainstream in the new era, most of the masters of the human race went to the world, and this gave the Yiren lineage an opportunity.
This is the reason why Jiang Chen was called Wuhuanhua in his previous life.
After the Five Hus revolted in China, after hundreds of years of chaos, the human race was reunited and another prosperous dynasty was established, the Tang Dynasty.
After that, it’s time to journey to the west. It’s not much different from the previous life in Jiang Chen’s memory.
Buddhism spread to the east, and Buddhism flourished as a result. Those who participated in the journey to the West, no matter whether they were good or bad, received enlightenment and merit as long as they were still alive.
However, the great rise of Buddhism did not last long. It is said that prosperity must decline, and Buddhism agrees with this principle. Because of its eagerness to expand, Buddhism has few requirements when recruiting disciples. Regardless of whether they are good or bad, as long as they have the heart to worship Buddha, they can join.
Buddhism.
Although this move strengthened the power of Buddhism and made Buddhism prosperous soon, it also laid hidden dangers for Buddhism's decline.
It didn't take long for the originally pure Buddhism to become smoky because of the mixed disciples. There were many people who violated the precepts.
Oppressing good people, running rampant in the countryside, bullying men and women, lending money at usury, seizing other people's wives and daughters... all kinds of evil in the world can be seen in Buddhism.
The appearance of Buddhism at this time is the future appearance of Jiejiao in the eyes of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Sage.
At that time, the Shangqing Taoist was like this, adhering to the principle of teaching without distinction, and accepting all disciples regardless of likes and dislikes. This was fine at first, but it would definitely bring disaster to the Shangqing Sage in the future. For this reason, the two of them often
Advise the sages of the Supreme Purity.
However, Sage Shangqing refused to listen and saw his younger brother going astray without realizing it. Sage Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to join forces to destroy the Jiejiao.
Well, that was indeed the case in the beginning. But later, as his disciples' cultivation was abolished, Yuanshi Tianzun inevitably brought some personal emotions and dealt harshly to the Jie Jiao disciples, causing many disciples who did not deserve to die to be included in the list of gods.
This is where the disharmony between the Three Purities began.
If Buddhism just becomes a mess, it can still survive for a while. Unfortunately, Buddhism also has enemies.
Seeing the Buddhist disciples degenerate so quickly, the demon sect hiding in secret was happy.
No longer hiding, he just came out in a big way, luring Buddhist disciples into demons, preparing to come to occupy the magpie's nest with a dove and turn Buddhism into a demon sect.
Soon, the Demon Sect will rise!
The war between Buddha and Demon lasted for hundreds of years. During this period, many dynasties rose and fell, and other orthodoxy joined in.
In the end, no one among these orthodox traditions could tell the winner, and their reputations were getting worse and worse. Moreover, because the Buddhist disciples did too much evil, it even attracted the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.
Others can be forgiven for doing evil, but only Buddhist disciples do evil, and there is no room for forgiveness, because Buddhism is under the banner of doing good, and hypocrisy is called evil, and the sin is even worse.
Similar to knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime will be increased!
Buddhist teachings are remembered by Heaven. When Buddhist disciples do evil, they not only offend all living beings, but also deeply irritate Heaven.
That night, the backlash of heaven and earth came. Endless fire of karma fell from the sky and flooded the entire four continents. Countless monks who had done evil were burned to ashes amidst the wails. The world suddenly entered the Age of End of Dharma.
After that, the remaining parts of the four continents were also broken, and the fragments fell into the starry sky one after another, evolving into stars.
One of the blue stars was very familiar to Jiang Chen. It was the earth star where he lived in his previous life.
At this point, the Three Realms were completely reduced to history, even the last vestiges were gone, and the Age of Ten Thousand Realms began to reach its peak.
Time passed slowly, gradually entering the history that Jiang Chen knew well. On the blue planet, Jiang Chen even saw his own figure.
However, in the dream, he did not travel through time, but continued to live in the earth and stars.
"Well, how come?"
Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to see what his life would be like without time travel, whether he would be wealthy or live an ordinary life. But what happened next made him confused.
As the world reaches its peak, the power of the fairy world becomes stronger and stronger, and in the end, it even swallows up the heaven world.
At this point, the position of the center of the immortal world can no longer be shaken, and it has officially surpassed the world and entered a new level, the heavens and the world.
The world is promoted, and everyone is celebrating. The powerful energy of creation, centered on the fairy world, continues to radiate in all directions, even the earth and stars are affected.
From this moment on, Earth Star began to enter the stage of spiritual recovery. In this life, Jiang Chen, because he seized the opportunity, successfully became a trendsetter of the times and began to write his own legend.
"Sure enough, excellent people perform very well no matter where they are."
Jiang Chen saw that in the dream, he rose all the way, first from the earth to the starry sky, and then from the starry sky to the world. Finally, he entered the immortal world and became an immortal.
The so-called Immortal Lord is the Innate Taoist Lord. No matter in which era, he can be regarded as a strong person.
"After practicing for only a million years, I have reached the realm of the innate Taoist Master. Although I am not as good as me in this life, I am still better than many talented people."
Jiang Chen was extremely satisfied with his performance in the dream. It only took him a million years to cultivate to the realm of the Innate Taoist Master, and he could be said to be a rare genius in the world.
With such qualifications, it should be possible to achieve Hunyuan.
It has to be said that the character of Jiang Chen in the dream is really the same as that of Jiang Chen in reality. His path to enlightenment is similar to Jiang Chen's current choice.
That is to reshape the starry sky!
In the dream, Jiang Chen prepared to connect the scattered starry sky into a whole, planning 365 star fields to replace the ancient stars in the sky, and rearrange the star formation in the sky.
If he can do this, he will be able to achieve perfect merits, transcend heaven and earth in one fell swoop, and reach the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
When Jiang Chen saw this in reality, he expressed great expectations. This was a path similar to his, but different. If he could witness its success with his own eyes, it would definitely bring him considerable benefits.
Time flies, and soon, hundreds of millions have passed.
During these long years, Jiang Chen's plan in the dream was successful. The vast starry sky was rearranged by him and planned into 365 star fields.
And by cooperating with each other, they successfully embodied the ancient Zhoutian star formation.
The moment his plan was successful, Jiang Chen in the dream also achieved his wish and achieved the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he was happy but also confirmed that this was a dream and not his previous life.
The so-called Hunyuan means that I am the only true one. There is only one me in heaven and earth. No matter it is the past, future or present, or the past and present life, I am the only one. There is only me and no other.
Therefore, if what you see before you is really Jiang Chen's previous life, it will never be possible for him to reach the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Regarding the nature of this dream, Jiang Chen had already guessed that it should be someone beyond imagination who was explaining it to him.
In the form of a dream, explain another possibility to him to improve his success rate in reshaping the ancient world, and tell him some of the secrets of the ancient world.
For example, if it hadn't been for this dream, Jiang Chen would never have thought that his biggest enemy was Zhen Yuanzi, who he had always ignored.
"This dream should have been arranged by the Great God Pangu."
Jiang Chen thought about it and found that the only being in the prehistoric era who had the ability to let him fall into a dream silently was the Great God Pangu. Perhaps, this dream was the opportunity given to him by the Great God Pangu.
And just when Jiang Chen was thinking this, the situation in the dream changed again.
In the dream, Jiang Chen, after integrating the power of the starry sky, turned his attention to the world, preparing to merge the starry sky with the heavens and the world to attack the realm above Hunyuan.
But what he didn't expect was that before he could take action, an unimaginable catastrophe broke out.
The Chaos Demon God, who had been lurking for countless years, suddenly launched an attack on the ancient world, and once he took action, it was fatal.
Although the prehistoric side was extremely powerful, with more than a hundred Hunyuan Taoist masters, and Hongjun Daozu, a being above Hunyuan, they were still no match for the Chaos Demon God. Not long after the battle, the two sides were defeated in succession.
In the end, the Chaos Demon God didn't win either, because at the critical moment, the Great God Pangu revived.
