The First Sword of the Earth

Chapter 523: Pangu May Not Exist (Part 2)

Sitting in his own private quiet room, surrounded by the brilliance of the protective formation, and in front of him was a big word "Tao".

Wang Sheng was not in a hurry to practice at this time, but lowered his head in front of himself and drew three lines with his immortal power.

So far, he has heard three different versions of the creation of the world, and this does not include the singularity explosion theory developed by the earth science community.

Elder Lin Yuan's words today made Wang Sheng interested in the origin of this world; especially, when he saw the existence of Li Shang, a human with a human body and a snake tail, and heard the myths and legends recorded by Li Shang's clan, he was more interested.

The truth of this endless starry sky may not be so important to the cultivators, but Wang Sheng has a vague feeling that the more he understands this world, the more he should have on the road of cultivation in the future.

The great way interweaves to form the universe.

To explore the essence of the universe is to explore the essence of the great way; this is actually a kind of practice.

Wang Sheng gently fiddled with his fingers on these three lines, and laid out the three creation stories side by side, one by one.

The first creation theory I received was "Pangu created the world", which was the most widely circulated legend in the ancient times of Dahua Country, and it should have been brought by the Heavenly Court.

Then I found another "Dao Creation Theory" in the posthumous letter of my ancestor. The Great Dao is one, one becomes two, two becomes three, and the Three Pure Ones appear. This is a hypothesis that can make people imagine and has something in common with the "singularity explosion" in the earth science community.

Then came the "Nuwa Creation Theory" that I had just heard of, and Lin Yuan gave many examples, many of which were Taoist texts that Xinghai Elder had read and the conclusions drawn.

There was no Pangu in ancient times. In the ancient times when Taoist texts were popular, and in the ancient times of the Immortal Saint World, the Nuwa Creation Theory was recognized.

Putting these three creation hypotheses side by side, Wang Sheng pondered for a while.

What makes him different from the cultivators in the endless starry sky is his origin, as well as the cognitive methods and thinking tools he came into contact with before practicing Taoism.

The protagonists of these three legends are Nuwa, Pangu, and the Great Dao.

What role does the Heavenly Court play in them?

What role did the Three Pure Ones play?

Wang Sheng touched his chin and muttered: "We can't speculate directly on this matter.

We should combine it with the history of the Immortal Saint Realm and the Endless Starry Sky."

Will it be...

The replacement of Nuwa, the God of Creation, is due to the continuous decline of the weight of the innate creatures between heaven and earth and the rise of the acquired creatures?

The innate creatures use Taoism, are born with great magical powers, can call the wind and rain, and even master many laws.

What happened from ancient times to ancient times? Why did the innate creatures suddenly lose their voices, and instead the acquired creatures represented by demons and witches rose? Although there are still a few innate creatures in power in these forces, the vast space of the Immortal Saint Realm and the Endless Starry Sky is already filled with acquired creatures.

According to the exploration and summary of some relics by Xinghai Lao Ren and Lin Yuan, Nuwa lost her position as the God of Creation in ancient times.

The ancient times were divided into two stages, divided by the breaking of the pillar of heaven and Nuwa mending the sky.

The first stage was the wars of hundreds of races, with heavy casualties, the establishment of the six reincarnations, and Nuwa seemed to have exhausted her power after mending the sky and disappeared.

The second stage was the dark and chaotic era. After this period of time without records, the human race began to rise, defeated hundreds of races, and became the master of the immortal world.

The second stage ended with the rise of the Heavenly Court, the unification of the Immortal Saint Realm by the Immortal Emperor Haotian, the division of the Three Realms, and the conquest of the endless starry sky.

Then it came to the current Three Realms era.

In the legend, the great goddess Nuwa lost the role of the creator god, and only had the two great merits of mending the sky and creating humans, and finally disappeared...

Coincidentally, the legend of Pangu happened at this time, and the Heavenly Court also rose at this time...

"Is there any inevitable connection between the two?"

Wang Sheng murmured, and suddenly caught some inspiration, "Could it be some conspiracy by Yao Yun's father?"

A force needs cohesion. In addition to sufficient cultivation resources and a heroic leader with great talent and strategy, there is a high possibility that there will be some demand for faith.

In order to obtain a steady stream of immortal soldiers, Haotian may have changed the ancient legends and recreated a god!

Yes, Pangu may be a perfect existence fabricated by Haotian or the power that Haotian ruled at that time.

With infinite strength, holding a giant axe, standing upright, and turning into everything after the creation of the world!

And the Yuanshen turned into the Three Pure Ones...

The Three Pure Ones may be the three innate creatures who cooperated with Haotian!

This power of Haotian needs a top master to sit in, and the three innate creatures are deified, and then the three innate creatures are pushed to the real altar...

Wang Sheng's realm is too low at this time, and he can't see through the relationship here, but at this time Wang Sheng suddenly felt that his inference was not without basis.

According to a fragmentary Taoist text that Xinghai Old Man had read, there was a record that three friends practiced together in ancient times, which may be the process of the Three Pure Ones' practice.

As for what role the Three Pure Ones played in the ancient wars and several ancient wars, without enough endless starry sky historical materials, Wang Sheng could not directly determine it.

But this did not prevent him from using his imagination...

Among the innate creatures in ancient times, the final winners were the Three Pure Ones. They reached the end of the Tao and were born in harmony with the Tao; the Heavenly Court respected them as the manifestation of the Tao...

There seemed to be something wrong here.

Wang Sheng rubbed his forehead, thinking of the story about the death of the Immortal Emperor, and inexplicably had another absurd idea. Could it be that the Three Pure Ones killed Haotian, which was actually a struggle between divine power and imperial power?

According to the description of Lu Zu's posthumous letter, the Three Pure Ones were manifested by the Great Dao, which actually extracted the Three Pure Ones from the godhood of the 'Pangu Yuanshen', making them meaningless 'manifestations of the Great Dao'.

The existence of the three of them is the Great Dao itself, so there is no need to deliberately worship them. The three realms only need to obey the orders of my Immortal Emperor.

Otherwise, how to explain that the Immortal Emperor was just destroyed by the Three Pure Ones, and the endless starry sky and hundreds of races all attacked together?

If his inference is true, then how could an Immortal Emperor like Haotian, who can overthrow countless races, unify the Immortal Saint Realm, and radiate influence throughout the universe, have no backup plan left?

"The Taoist text engraved on the six immortal tablets!"

Wang Sheng clapped his hands subconsciously, and then suddenly understood something.

Following this line of thought, it is not necessarily the Goddess Nuwa who created this world; in the long years of ancient times, Goddess Nuwa may have been deified by some people in power to consolidate their rule.

Gods and ghosts are just manifestations of human hearts...

Wang Sheng shook his head and first assumed that he denied the existence of every "creator god" and roughly summarized the process of the change of divine power. It was probably like this.

In ancient times, half of the powerful innate creatures survived by instinct, and half had outstanding wisdom;

Acquired creatures began to appear, and the way of cultivation began to rise. Acquired creatures gradually gained power comparable to ancient creatures. The gap in power created a hierarchy, and the strong began to rule the weak, and told these weak people through myths and legends that "being ruled is your destiny."

When the acquired creatures continued to develop, the immortal civilization and the cultivation system became more mature, and they wanted more resources from the immortal world to improve themselves, the war that ended the ancient times broke out.

That should have been a protracted, even extremely long war. From the legends that followed, we can infer that there was no winner in this war.

The final result was that the innate creatures withered away, and the acquired creatures gained the right to speak. The two sides should have reached a model in which the innate creatures led some acquired creatures in the countless years of war, thus opening the ancient times.

In the ancient times, it was still an era when the innate and acquired creatures coexisted, and the protagonists became acquired creatures.

This period should be the process of the great goddess Nuwa being deified and being named the God of Creation.

Later, the human race rose. Because the human race was born weak, they wanted to find a backer, so they claimed that they were created by the God of Creation. Later, this myth became more and more complete, and there was an allusion to mold clay to create people.

A war should have broken out in the ancient times, which was the opportunity for Nuwa to fall or retire...

As time slowly came to the era of the prosperity of the human race, the decline of hundreds of races, and the rise of Haotian, the legend of Pangu began to rise. As the backing of Haotian's forces, the three strong men were given the halo of the God of Creation.

After a long war, the Immortal Saint Realm was finally unified, and Haotian divided the world into three realms.

In myths and legends, Nuwa only had the merits of opening the sky, creating humans, and repairing the sky. All later human practitioners respected Pangu as the God of Creation, and thus had great respect for the Three Pure Ones.

At this time, the Immortal Emperor Haotian began to strengthen his imperial power and shaped the three Gods of Creation that he had personally shaped into the "Manifestation of the Great Dao".

But what Haotian didn't expect was that the Three Pure Ones acted faster and directly wiped him out...

...

Looking at these echoing images in his mind, Wang Sheng sat there speechless.

Of course, these are all his imaginations and assumptions. If he wants to explore them in the future, he needs to conduct a lot of research and verification.

"The true history of this endless starry sky and the immortal world is actually in the hands of the three Taoist ancestors who have lived from ancient times to the present," Wang Sheng sighed, and some impulses rose in his heart.

Now, he has another motivation to become stronger.

If he can't stand at a higher level, he will never be able to see what happened in ancient times and ancient times.

Even a strong person like Immortal Emperor Haotian would be wiped out directly; but Wang Sheng felt that as long as he did not fight for power, fame and wealth, but only cultivated his own way, and kowtowed to the Three Pure Ones on holidays, the three ancestors would not have to kill him directly.

‘Li Shang is a master that can be won over,’ Wang Sheng pondered carefully.

Not only is she strong enough, but her potential is also immeasurable. She has her own racial magical powers, and maybe she will meet a powerful person of the same clan in the future.

If she can be won over to the camp of the earth cultivation world, it should be of great help in the future.

But how to win her over?

The first person that Taoist Wang thought of was Xu Xian, and then he thought of Liu Yunzhi, and then he scratched his head again.

This is too unkind.

“Forget it, let it go, and practice first.”

The true spirit is immortal, the true spirit…

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Wang Sheng’s mind, and the thoughts that had just retreated surged up again.

If the innate creatures came from the chaos, are they the manifestation of the true spirit? According to the principles revealed by the Great Dao, all living beings are just projections of the true spirit in the world.

Then how can the true spirit be projected in the chaos? Isn't chaos a mixture of yin and yang?

Taoist Wang's mind suddenly trembled, and he immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, and his soul sank into the heavenly palace.

After a while, a vague Daoist aura emerged from his body, as if his soul had opened a door in the Heavenly Palace, and a shadow gently swayed over Wang Sheng, then disappeared...
