Chapter 678: Literary Saint’s Enlightenment, the Origin of Heavenly Dao
"The way of heaven, it is really possible that it is the way of their race."
Before Wen Sheng finished speaking, the four Long Shengs looked at Wen Sheng in surprise, and even Qin Yi turned around to look at Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng changed his previous silence and continued: "According to the common myths and legends of our human race and the demon race, at the beginning of the world, there was chaos and death. The God of Creation came to this world. Unable to bear the sinking of the world, he created three thousand divine beasts to sort out the yin and yang.
, transform the world, the mythical beast is immortal, has vast magical powers, and is the incarnation of the great road, but death will make it change from a god to a demon, and then from a demon to a god. God is the creation of the world, and the demon is the destruction of the world. Gods and demons confront each other. This is the earliest god.
The Demonic Era.”
Long Sheng's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Will the lost era of gods and demons be added to the epoch system?
This, this, why didn't he think of it?
"Myths and legends say that at the beginning of heaven and earth, there were frequent fires, smoke and dust filled the air, covering the sky and the sun, and large swamps were all stagnant. There was no life between heaven and earth. Three thousand gods and demons moved mountains and seas, gathered rocks to form mountains, and formed mountains.
The island becomes a land, the sea becomes a sea, the earth fire is extinguished, the smoke is cleared, the world is like a wash, the yin and yang are orderly, life is born, the world is first opened, three thousand gods and demons complete their missions, and fall into silence one after another, the era of gods and demons ends with this
.”
After Literary Sage finished speaking, Long Sage retorted: "Myths are just legends. How can they be used as historical documents and basis for reasoning?"
Wen Sheng smiled and shook his head and said: "Are the myths and legends really without basis? Are they really fabricated? Are the legends of the God of Creation and the three thousand gods and demons really false? Dragon Saint, these words,
Do you believe it?"
Long Sheng had a sullen face and did not refute.
Because the literary saint was right.
He also believes in this.
The First Emperor asked in confusion: "Why is it true? Just because it is a myth and legend shared by our human race and the demon clan? Our human race is millions of years later than the demon clan. The myths and legends of our human race can definitely be
Borrowed from the demon clan? This doesn’t mean anything, does it?”
Literary Saint shook his head and said: "Myths and legends, in the process of being spread, especially across time and across the long river of history, will always be processed, dramatized, and added with local cultural characteristics. In this regard, we only start from
It can be seen in the different local myths and legends in various parts of the Central Plains. However, have you discovered that no matter how time passes and how history changes, this myth and legend has never changed at all. Moreover, our understanding of this myth
Legends are unreasonable and are firmly believed. No matter we admit it or not, no matter how we argue, we cannot change this fact."
When the First Emperor heard this, he also fell silent.
Because, just now, he kept reasoning with himself, using logic and examples to convince himself that these myths and legends were false.
But, it's no use.
He may not admit it with his mouth, but he understands that he believes it in his heart.
Wen Sheng continued: "This should be the inherited memory engraved deep in the hearts of all living beings."
Thinking of Ganoderma lucidum's 'inherited memory', Wen Sheng shook his head again and said: "Or, the term 'inherited memory' is not accurate and cannot accurately express this concept. 'Seal of living beings' should be used to be more accurate."
Long Sheng rolled his eyes at Wen Sheng.
Why do you start to quibble again while talking?
Isn’t it just a noun and concept?
As for being so serious?
However, he also knew that this was the character of Wen Sheng, so he had no words.
The Dragon Saint endured it, but the Military Saint did not.
"Literary Saint, don't get hung up on these minutiae. Let's get to the point. Why do you doubt that the way of heaven is their racial way?"
Wen Sheng glanced around and saw that no one realized the importance of this term or concept. He suddenly felt lonely and uncomprehending.
Sighing, Wen Sheng continued: "Have you ever thought about how the way of heaven was born?"
How was the Way of Heaven born?
This question stunned everyone present.
It's not that no one has thought about this question, but that they haven't given a convincing answer to themselves, let alone answer it to others.
However, those present were all smart people and immediately understood what Wen Sheng wanted to express.
Alchemy Saint murmured: "Do you mean that the original way of heaven is the racial way that was born in response to the three thousand gods and demons?"
Wen Sheng nodded and shook his head. Before he could answer, he heard Long Sheng retort: "That's not right. The Avenue of Races only appeared in this era, and the characteristic of the Avenue of Races is to protect one's own race. If Heaven's Way
It is really the racial avenue of innate gods and demons, so he should protect the innate gods and demons, so how can he let three thousand gods and demons fall silent?"
Three thousand gods and demons are immortal, so they are not dead, but silent.
That's why the previous term "God's Tomb" was eliminated and changed to "Secret Realm".
Wen Sheng was silent for a moment and said: "This should be a back-up left by the Creator God to prevent the three thousand gods and demons from still occupying the world and hindering the healthy growth and evolution of the world after completing their mission."
This is a guess made by Wen Sheng based on the known information.
He himself wasn't sure if it was true.
So I was a little hesitant, but finally I said it.
Before anyone else could interrupt, Wen Sheng quickly said: "Do you still remember the phrase 'the incarnation of the great road' in myths and legends?"
Long Sheng suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Do you doubt that this is not a false finger?"
Literary Saint nodded and said: "The Seal of Living Beings has a limited space. Every word and paragraph has its own meaning, and it must be true and reliable. Otherwise, how can it become a Seal of Living Beings?"
At this time, the other three people also reacted.
Alchemy Saint shook his head and said in disbelief: "If it is true, doesn't it mean that in our era, the cultivation systems of all intelligent races are based on the avenue of the incarnations of three thousand gods and demons?"
The First Emperor squinted his eyes and said, "Is this the conspiracy of those two people?"
The Military Saint hesitated and said: "Is it possible that we are overthinking it? Don't forget, the Ghosts and Gods Era before this era, the Insect Wood Era, and even the Dragon Ape Era that have not been included, there is no record of the emergence of the Great Dao, only this one
Only in the Era."
Long Sheng already somewhat believed Wen Sheng's inference.
"Just because there is no present world, does not mean there is no such thing."
Literary Saint nodded and said: "I suspect that the Way of Heaven was born after the three thousand gods and demons gathered together and formed three thousand avenues after their silence. Therefore, the Way of Heaven is not only the racial avenues of the innate gods and demons, but also the collection of their soul-like avenues.
...Two sides of one body, regardless of each other.”
The military saint shook his head and said: "This is completely different from the racial avenue we know."
The First Emperor also slowly accepted Wen Sheng's inference.
"When it was first born, it was different. It was normal. What's more, it was still the way of heaven."
Wen Shengchong nodded to the First Emperor and continued: "The reason why the Great Avenue did not appear in the previous three eras may be that the dragon and the demon ape were not ready yet, or it may be that the world has not evolved to the extent that the Great Avenue has appeared."
Alchemy Saint stroked his long beard and said: "I think both are possible."
Obviously, Dan Sheng also accepted Wen Sheng's statement.
"At that time, the world had not evolved well, and the dragon and the demon ape were not ready. After they had gone through three eras of preparation, the world had evolved to the point where the great road could appear. But, I don't understand, why did they do this? Preparation
Why did you spend so much time and put so much effort into it?"
The First Emperor's eyes lit up, he thought of something, turned his head and glanced at his humane image and said: "For resurrection!"
Literary Saint nodded: "To be precise, it is to awaken the three thousand gods and demons who have been dormant for countless millions of years."
As he spoke, Wen Sheng lowered his head and looked at the earth, his eyes flashing with golden light. Through the obstacles of the earth, he looked at the secret realms that were illuminated by the Feng Shui array and only had crystal films left.
"Everything the divine dragon and the demonic ape have done should be to awaken their companions who have been silent for countless years, the innate gods and demons who once transformed the world together."
As soon as these words came out, the whole space fell into silence. All the saints lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, each thinking.
After a long time, the Military Saint spoke, breaking the tranquility.
"I don't understand. Since the three thousand gods and demons have fallen silent, why haven't the divine dragons and the demonic apes fallen silent?"
If they were also silent, there wouldn't be so many things happening later.
Literary Saint glanced at Long Sheng and replied: "According to Long Sheng's Book of Changes, 'The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one of them escapes'. There are always exceptions in everything, and the same is true for the Way of Heaven."
Wen Sheng sighed, looked in the direction of the East China Sea and said: "The dragon and the demon ape, this god and one demon, may be the opportunity for the three thousand gods and demons who have contributed to the creation of the world to reappear in the world."
Long Sheng nodded in agreement: "In this case, it makes sense for the Demon King, the Golden Crow, to appear in this world."
The First Emperor suddenly said: "This is an experiment between the dragon and the demon ape! An experiment to awaken three thousand gods and demons? So with the Demon King's current appearance, is it a success or a failure?"
The Military Saint shook his head and said: "Don't forget, there is also the Demon Emperor. It is rumored that he also has the blood of the Golden Crow and is also the reincarnation of the Golden Crow. Although we call them gods and demons, their gods and demons cannot coexist. Now gods and demons coexist.
In this case, it obviously failed."
Long Sheng shook his head and said: "It is also possible that it is an indispensable step to awaken the gods and demons. It is too early to say whether it will be successful or not."
Military Saint glared at Long Sheng, but what Long Sheng said was reasonable. He couldn't refute it even if he wanted to, so he just sat there and sulked.
Long Sheng glanced at Military Saint, ignored it, turned to look at Wen Sheng, and asked curiously: "How did you think of this?"
Wen Sheng looked at Long Sheng with a smile and said, "Thanks to your reminder for this."
"Oh?" Long Sheng's face was full of curiosity.
The other three saints also pricked up their ears, as if listening.
Why are these guys so nosy?
When Wen Sheng saw this scene, he shook his head and laughed and said, "Tell me, 'Dao Wen Tu is the manifestation of the way of heaven in all things in the world.' In an instant, I suddenly understood the essence of Dao Wen Tu. Following the Dao Wen Tu, I realized
Come and analyze the way of heaven, only then can you gain something and understand the essence of the way of heaven."
"The nature of heaven?"
Upon hearing this, even Qin Yi turned his attention to Wen Sheng.
Literary Saint nodded and sighed: "There was no way of heaven in this world, but the God of Creation came and created three thousand gods and demons, allowing them to transform the world. After the world was transformed, the gods and demons fell silent, and the three thousand ways
Merging with the world, the way of heaven was born."
"The Way of Heaven is the racial avenue of all things in the world. It accommodates all things in the world, incarnates all things in the world, expresses all things in the world, and evolves all things in the world."
"The whole world, everything in heaven and on earth, is the way of heaven."
"The Dao Wen Diagram is the manifestation of the way of heaven," Wen Sheng turned to look at Long Sheng: "Yi Shu is like this," Wen Sheng turned to look at Qin Yi again: "The Feng Shui formation is also like this."
Qin Yi nodded thoughtfully, turned his head and continued to look in the direction of the East China Sea.
Long Sheng seemed to have realized something, and sighed and said: "So it turns out that the Tao we cultivate and the Tao we create are all derived from the Tao of Heaven. Their essence is still the manifestation of the Tao of Heaven."
The Alchemy Saint suddenly said: "My Alchemy Way, too?"
The First Emperor shook his head and sighed: "The same is true of my Emperor Wu Dao!"
The Military Saint nodded and said: "The same is true of my military path."
Qin Yi seemed to find it interesting and added with a smile: "Three thousand avenues, too!"
As soon as Qin Yi said these words, the Five Sages opened their eyes wide as if they understood something.
Wen Sheng murmured: "The three thousand avenues are also the manifestation of the way of heaven? Yes, that's right, the three thousand avenues have been merged into the way of heaven and become the root avenue. It is impossible to separate from the way of heaven and can only be manifested.
"
The three thousand avenues they perceived seemed to be the shadow of the Heavenly Dao, appearing outwardly.
They are not the avenue itself.
Just a shadow.
Long Sheng said excitedly: "We finally cracked the relationship between the three thousand avenues and the way of heaven. This has an immeasurable effect on our study of the avenues!"
Long Sheng can be sure that as long as he is given a period of time and the Literary Saint and the Immortal Saint interpret the Heavenly Way and the Great Dao, his Dao of Change will definitely be one step closer.
Thinking of this, Long Sheng glanced at Wen Sheng enviously.
It's a pity that no matter how much he gained, he couldn't compare to Wen Sheng.
If Wen Sheng is given some time, Wen Sheng's avenue will be directly comparable to the Three Thousand Avenues outside the Root Avenue.
Then, he thought of something and looked at Qin Yi helplessly.
No matter how hard they try, they can't compare to Qin Yi.
One is this era, Qin Yi's immortal era, which has his unique advantages that other saints cannot match.
The other is that the wisdom and strength of the Immortal Saints are not at the same level as theirs.
The level of the avenue, I'm afraid, has reached the level of the Three Thousand Avenues outside the Root Avenue a long time ago.
The better he got to know Qin Yi, the more Long Sheng felt that Qin Yi was unfathomable.
The more I realize how big the gap between the two is.
Long Sheng cleared up his messy thoughts, looked at Wen Sheng and said, "Is there anything else you want to add?"
Wen Sheng hesitated for a moment, and then told another of his guesses.
"The way of heaven should grow with the evolution of the world. The changes in the authority of the divine dragon and the demonic ape should be closely related to their proportion in the evolution of the world. This should also be the reason why the divine dragon and the demonic ape are so active in this era.
one of the reasons."
Alchemy Saint stroked his long beard, looked at Literary Saint, and said in surprise: "Proportion? You mean, if you don't advance, you will retreat. The way of heaven is growing. If they don't participate in the evolution of each era, then their authority may
Instead of increasing, it decreases.”
Military Saint understood: "As the epoch shortens, they have to become more radical, more active, and more deeply involved to increase their influence as much as possible. This also explains why they are becoming more and more active.
.”
The First Emperor sighed: "This also proves our previous conjecture that even if the Golden Crow wakes up completely, there will be a clear gap between him and the divine dragon and the demon ape, and he will be unable to compete with them."
After running through the information collected and analyzed and summarized today in his mind like a revolving lantern, Long Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
