Chapter 922: Ancient Mythology

Even for the Great Xia Dynasty, which followed the mythological era, what happened in the ancient times was just a legend to them, just like people today hear "Kuafu chasing the sun", "Xingtian dancing with Ganqi" and "Houyi shooting the sun", and just listen to it as a mythological story. The ancient history of the corpse demon may not be completely true. There must be many exaggerations and fabrications in it, but it should generally be in line with the facts.

The ancient times were very long. No one can tell how long it was. In short, at the beginning of the last era, humans entered the ancient times. During those long years, the ancient ancestors were really quite weak. Wild beasts ate them and natural disasters destroyed them. They were the weakest kind in the world.

But I don't know when it started, the ancient ancestors suddenly became powerful. They multiplied from generation to generation, and were extremely glorious, and finally led mankind into the mythological era. In the eyes of the Great Xia people, the late ancient times were actually much more powerful than the mythological era, because the ancient strongmen had killed gods.

The ancient gods, the people of Daxia believed that they were powerful creatures living in the wilderness. During the long years of the ancient times, the ancient gods had been oppressing and enslaving the ancient ancestors, and the contradictions between the two sides were irreconcilable. Finally, at the end of the ancient times, a shocking war broke out. The strong men among the ancient ancestors broke into the wilderness, killed the gods, and broke into the place where the gods lived, the temple.

The emperor of the gods died in the battle, and the kings of the gods also fell, and the gods disappeared from the wilderness. However, in that battle, many ancient strong men also fell, but they did not hurt their vitality, and humans successfully entered the mythological era.

There are many contradictions in the above statements, but Zhang Jun and others listened to them as novels and did not take them seriously. It was not until the later mythological era was mentioned that their expressions became serious, and they kept asking questions.

The mythological era was a relatively short period, and its time span was comparable to that of the Daxia Dynasty, only a few million years, but it was equally brilliant. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the demon Chiyou, Kuafu, Fengbo and other characters are all celebrities of that era. Naturally, Nuwa mended the leak in the sky, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, Xingtian danced with Ganqi, Fuxi performed the Eight Diagrams and so on are all events that have been passed down to this day.

To be precise, the early period of Daxia was in the mythological era, and Dayu was a figure in the mythological era. It was his descendants who started to establish the dynasty era. In the eyes of Daxia people, the most desirable thing in the mythological era was "Heaven". In the mythological era, there was a brilliant figure who overwhelmed the ancient and modern times, Lord Haotian!

Lord Haotian established the Heavenly Court and opened the prelude to the mythological era. The Heavenly Court is an extremely large and powerful organization. Legend has it that it has 10 trillion heavenly soldiers and generals, governing the heaven and the earth. Every land has a land god sitting in it, and every water has a water god governing it. The world is peaceful and prosperous, and the strong are multiplied.

The Heavenly Court once sent out 1 billion heavenly soldiers to attack the Hundred Clans, killing them so badly that they fled to the most remote place in the wilderness and hid there. They were seriously injured and did not dare to show up until the end of the mythological era. This shows how strong and powerful the Heavenly Court is.

Regarding the origin of the Hundred Clans, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty believed that the Hundred Clans should be the descendants of the gods of the ancient times. Because of their impure blood, their strength was not as good as the ancient gods, but they were still very powerful and dared to confront the Heavenly Court.

However, the Corpse Demon did not seem to know why the Mythological Era ended so hastily. He only knew that the Lord Haotian suddenly died of old age and a large number of masters fell. Later, there was a great chaos in the Heavenly Court, wars broke out everywhere, and heroes fought for hegemony. In this way, in the chaos, they entered the Dynasty Era.

The history of the Great Xia Dynasty was also long. Its early period inherited the genes of the Mythological Era. Therefore, the Great Xia was very powerful and existed for millions of years, which was as long as the Mythological Era. However, the Great Xia was actually jointly controlled by the tribal alliances for a long time. You sang and I took the stage. There were not only a dozen monarchs recorded in human history books.

There were many masters in the Great Xia Dynasty. There were as many people in the Return to the True Realm as there are masters of the Dan-holding Realm now. There were also many people in the Manifestation of Saint Realm. Moreover, there were many Daluo masters sitting in various places, and they had repeatedly raised troops against the hundreds of tribes that were ready to move. However, due to the big roulette, the Great Xia Dynasty began to decline in the late period, and people's cultivation declined again and again, and their strength weakened again and again.

Finally one day, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and the vast and boundless time and space folded up by itself, forming the current "Earth". In that great catastrophe, countless humans died, especially the masters of cultivation, who were almost wiped out. The corpse demon was just a child of a few years old at that time, and the place where he was happened to be a relatively balanced space.

The Great Xia Dynasty perished in this way, and there were very few masters who survived, and the cultivation civilization was almost cut off. Then, the Shang Dynasty rose, King Wu defeated King Zhou, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was divided into states, but those were all things of later generations, and there were relatively detailed records in human history books. And for some unknown reason, the history of the Great Xia Dynasty was modified by someone and became the history of the Xia Dynasty known to people of the time.

After listening to the corpse demon's story, everyone was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Sun Xiaochan sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be a survivor of the Great Xia Dynasty. It's only been more than 4,000 years. How did you live to this day?"

The corpse demon chuckled: "It seems that you all want to know the secret of immortality!"

Zhang Jun sneered: "Immortality? If there is such a method, Lord Haotian probably won't die of old age, and the Daluo leader in history must be able to live to this day, right? Your so-called secret method of immortality must also have a huge price to pay. Is my guess correct?"

"That's right." The Corpse Demon said coldly, "My immortal secret is a kind of magic skill. When practicing this magic skill, the life imprint will change. Once the imprint changes, the life span will also change. But as you said, I also paid a huge price."

At this time, Zhang Jun remembered the demon head Xuehe Laozu who lived in Qinglian's sea of ​​consciousness when he was a child. He was moved and said, "I understand! What you call the secret of immortality is probably to transform into the spirit of the demon domain, right? The spiritual realm can live forever in the world and never die for thousands of years!"

The Corpse Demon was very surprised and nodded, "Yes, I shattered my life imprint and then merged it with the domain spirit of the demon domain. But in this way, my own cultivation is limited. Back then, this demon lord had the strength of the Manifestation Emperor, and the demon domain I refined was only a quasi-manifestation demon domain. Restricted by the level of this demon domain, this demon lord's strength can only be exerted to the level of the Taoist Lord."

"No wonder you call yourself the Demon Lord, it turns out that you are restricted by the demon domain." Zhang Jun nodded, half a step to the Manifestation is still not the Manifestation.

Upon hearing that the so-called secret method of immortality was like this, Sun Xiaochan shook his head repeatedly: "Transforming into a domain spirit means that you have cut off your hope of further advancement, and once the Demon Realm is advanced, your memory will most likely be worn out, and you will no longer be you, but a domain spirit of the Demon Realm."

The Corpse Demon said indifferently: "How can you gain without paying? Although there are various negative effects, this Demon Lord has indeed lived to this day."

Zhang Jun thought of the Stealing Life Divine Art. I wonder if it has any negative effects? If not, can it really prolong life? He was thinking, Master Ji said: "Demon, all things have birth and death, this is the way of heaven, you try to act against heaven, and you will not end well."

The Corpse Demon sneered: "No matter what, this Demon Lord will live longer than all of you. And as long as I get the ninth consciousness of the girl, I will have a chance to advance upward."

He is still planning to go after Qinglian! Zhang Jun's murderous intent flashed through his mind, but he still held back. This Corpse Demon cannot be killed. He is from the Great Xia Dynasty and must know a lot about the mythological era. He will be interrogated slowly in the future. Thinking of this, he said, "Okay, we are not interested in your secret method of longevity. Tell me the whereabouts of the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Secret Palace now, and I promise to spare your life."

The Corpse Demon's face flashed a cunning and sinister smile: "I would like to tell you, but unfortunately my clone has limited time, you may not be able to hear it."

"What? Just a clone?" Sun Xiaochan was shocked, and then furious, "Damn it! The devil actually took advantage of our unpreparedness and secretly used a magic power to replace the original body!"

It turned out that the reason why the Corpse Demon talked about mythology was to delay time so that he could secretly perform the magic secret technique "transplanting flowers and trees" and replace the original body with one of his clones. This secret technique is very extraordinary, even Sun Xiaochan failed to discover it, and when he discovered it, it was too late.

Zhang Jun didn't think much of it. He said calmly, "Let him run away. It won't be too late to catch him later."

Master Ji smiled mysteriously at this time and said, "Out of caution, I, Old Ji, secretly put an 'invisible guide' on him. Even if he goes to heaven or hell, I can find him."

Li Daojun couldn't help laughing: "Master Ji, you don't have to rush to deal with him. Let's prepare for the trip to Yaochi!"

After several great saints left, Zhang Jun immediately returned to Kyoto. Now that the descendants of hundreds of ethnic groups in the country have been purged and the social order has basically stabilized, it's time to implement some of his ideas.

Just two days later, Chen Sanxing organized a group of government elders to establish a provisional government. The provisional government did not make any changes in policy. Its mission was to allow social balance to transition to the next stage. At the same time, Xiaoqiang used its ubiquitous influence to vigorously promote future policy goals in the country.

In short, there are three things Zhang Jun has to do. The first thing is to establish Xiaoqiang's management status. The entire country will be run with Xiaoqiang as the central computer, and every citizen will be supervised by the central computer, which will make the entire society run more efficiently. Under Xiaoqiang's supervision, all crimes and immoral things will be prevented, and the quality of the people will grow rapidly in this compulsory environment.

Regarding the first point, it involves many things, such as establishing an omnipresent network across the country, so that Xiaoqiang can be comprehensive; it is also necessary to build a large number of infrastructure and law enforcement agencies in the country, so that Xiaoqiang's management can proceed smoothly, etc.
