Rewriting the Gods

"Please give me some advice, Old Ancestor Haofeng. What should I do to help my human race survive the catastrophe?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin bowed to Jiang Haofeng.

Jiang Haofeng shook his head and said, "Even saints don't dare to say that they have survived the catastrophe safely."

"In the prehistoric times, 10,800 years make up one hui, and 12 hui make up one yuan, which adds up to 129,600 years. And one calamity is as long as 500,000 hui yuan!"

"How can the calamity that has been generated over such a long period of time be resolved so easily?"

Emperor Xin couldn't help but gasp, his eyes filled with horror.

One Huiyuan lasts 129,600 years, and one kalpa lasts 500,000 Huiyuan. What a long time it is!
Life is but a hundred years long, and Emperor Xin, who was only fifty years old, was stunned when he suddenly heard this huge number.

Emperor Xin could not imagine how long the years were. Normally, thousands or tens of thousands of years were considered an extremely long time. Now, after suddenly hearing what the immortal said, he finally understood what it meant to be a frog in a well!
Looking at the shocked Emperor Xin, Jiang Haofeng smiled and then said:

"By the way, the years I mentioned refer to the time in heaven, not the time on earth. One day in heaven equals one year on earth!"

"If we calculate it according to human time, it will need to be multiplied by 365 times!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's face was full of bitter smile. Words could not describe the shock in his heart at this moment.

"After hearing what the old master said today, I finally understood what it means to look at the sky from the bottom of a well and see the blue sky like a mayfly!"

Emperor Xin took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Haofeng smiled and said, "If you can achieve the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, you will naturally be able to live forever, live as long as the heaven and earth, and live as long as the sun and the moon!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin was greatly encouraged. He immediately raised his head and asked anxiously, "I wonder if my two ancestors can practice cultivation?"

"The Human King is not allowed to practice!"

"This is the rule of heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's eyes suddenly became dim and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

Suiren on the side added:

"The Human King is protected by the destiny of the human race. Even a saint cannot hurt you in the slightest. Zhunti plotted against you the other day and prepared for several years, but you were still severely injured by the backlash of the destiny of the human race. Bleeding from all seven orifices, your soul, body, and magic power are all damaged!"

“However, the world has gains and losses. Those who carry the destiny of the human race cannot practice the great way and live forever!”

"So all the human kings in the past generations were unable to practice cultivation, nor were they able to achieve immortality."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's brows immediately furrowed. No one in the world or even in the three realms could hurt him, but at the same time, he could not practice cultivation and would never be able to achieve immortality...

This doesn't seem to be a good thing. It is good that the human race is protected by good fortune and no one in the three realms can hurt them. But no matter how good it is, the lifespan is not enough and one can only live for a few decades. It is really a pity.

Looking at Emperor Xin's changing expression, Jiang Haofeng understood what was in Emperor Xin's mind, smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Among our human race, we don't force our members to do anything."

"If the Human King were a mortal, content with the Nine Provinces, and not looking beyond the Shang Dynasty, he would not know the existence of immortals. Without knowing the immortals, he would not be able to practice. Then, for the Human King, this heavenly rule would be the same whether it existed or not."

"If it is released to the outside world, the Human King wants to practice cultivation and learn from the ancient saints. He can abdicate the throne to others and give up the position of Human King."

"Without your status as the Human King, you can do whatever you want."

Glancing at Suiren beside him, Jiang Haofeng hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "In fact, Suiren didn't tell the whole story just now. The rule that the Human King cannot practice cultivation actually originated after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, both the Human King and the Human Emperor could practice cultivation!"

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient times, as well as the three human kings during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, were all well-known masters of great supernatural powers in the Three Realms."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin no longer cared about the regret in his heart and quickly asked, "Then why was there a rule that the human king could not practice cultivation?"

Suiren, who was standing by, also showed a bitter smile on his face, "It's probably a little too early to let Zishou know this."

"It is late!"

Jiang Haofeng shook his head and said, "The Human King carries the destiny of our human race. Although he is a mortal, his importance is no less than that of the Supreme Elder of our race. He is qualified to know the truth."

Go ahead, Jiang Haofeng turned to look at Emperor Xin and said:
"This matter involves the three paths of heaven, earth and man. It is a game between the path of man and the path of heaven. Although the three paths complement each other, they also have their strengths and weaknesses."

"Now the Great Heavenly Dao is supreme, and everything in the world is governed by the Heavenly Dao."

"The gathering of the destiny of humanity is not a good thing for the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is not worried about the profoundness of the human king's cultivation and his powerful strength, but the Heavenly Dao is worried that the human king will live a long life and the destiny of the human race will continue to gather, threatening the Heavenly Dao."

“Hence this heavenly rule!”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's face immediately showed anger. He wondered what the reason was, but it turned out that it was because the Heavenly Dao was afraid that the Human Dao would overwhelm itself, so it made such a rule. It was really hateful!
Emperor Xin suddenly raised his head and asked:

"Ancestor, is there a way to break this heavenly rule?"

As soon as the words fell, thunder gathered in the endless void. Purple lightning flashed in the void and was about to gather into thunderclouds.

However, the rolling thunder had just gathered above Emperor Xin's head, and before it could become visible, the pillar of light of luck on Emperor Xin's body shone brightly, and the thunder gathered in the void solidified instantly. In the golden light, all the thunder melted silently.

Thunder rumbled in the depths of heaven and earth, trying to gather but unable to do so. It went back and forth dozens of times before finally dissipating.

In the three realms, all the saints felt the vibration of the Heavenly Dao at the same time. They raised their hands and calculated, but found nothing.

Deep in the endless chaos, in a Taoist temple with the words "Zixiao Palace" inscribed on it, Patriarch Hongjun slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the human world.

The three people from Zhonghuang Mountain were unaware of all this. Facing Emperor Xin's question, Jiang Haofeng nodded immediately and said:
"Have!"

"If you can overcome the laws of nature, you can naturally change the laws of nature!"

"When you become a saint, everything will be easy. If you can't become a saint, then nothing I say will be of any use."

Emperor Xin's brows were still furrowed when he heard this, and he bowed again and said, "May I ask, ancestor, how can I become a saint?"

"good question."

"I also want to know. There is not a single immortal in the Three Realms who doesn't want to become a saint. If you ask others, you will never find out how to become a saint."

"Is there any way to circumvent this heavenly rule?"

"Why avoid it?"

After Jiang Haofeng finished speaking, Emperor Xin frowned even more tightly, and asked in confusion, "The way of heaven restricts the way of man for no reason, why not avoid it?"

"The three paths of heaven, earth and man complement each other. If the three paths are equally powerful, this is the most perfect state and naturally the best." "If the three paths have different powers, the strong will dominate the world. However, no matter which of the three paths dominates the world, it cannot do without the assistance of the other two paths."

"If our human way is powerful, we also need the existence of the way of heaven and the way of earth to operate the rules of heaven and earth. Similarly, the way of heaven is the same!"

"The Way of Heaven governs the three realms, and it is also inseparable from the Way of Earth and the Way of Man."

"Although the Way of Heaven has some restrictions on the Way of Man, they are not serious. On the contrary, it is a good thing for our human race that immortals and mortals are separated and live their own lives."

"As for the problem that the Human King cannot practice, it would be best to solve it. At worst, after being the Human King for a few years, he can abdicate, or fake his death to escape. Without the restrictions of the Heavenly Rules, he can naturally practice!"

Listening to Jiang Haofeng's words, Emperor Xin was stunned for a moment. There were so many reasons behind this heavenly rule.

Even Suiren, who was standing by, had a thoughtful look on his face. The higher his cultivation level, the deeper his understanding of the three principles of heaven, earth and man, and the more he could feel the profound meaning of Haofeng's words!

Looking at Emperor Xin who was still in a daze, Jiang Haofeng smiled and shook his head and said, "You are going off topic again. You know too little and it is too easy to go off topic."

"We'll talk about these things later. When I finish my business, I'll take you to visit Zhonghuang Mountain. This is the ancestral home of the human race and the foundation of the entire human race. Apart from the Fire Cloud Cave, this is the place where the human race is the strongest."

Emperor Xin was stunned when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said, "Please give me the decree, I will listen attentively!"

"I came here to see you for three main reasons."

"The first is to inform you of the situation of the calamity energy. I have already explained the reason to you before."

"Zunti used the power of a saint to activate the great way of cause and effect, causing you to be infected by the calamity energy. Although the empress and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors took action to suppress the two saints of the West, the calamity energy has entered your body, and the saints and the clan can't do anything about it."

"You have to bear this calamity energy by yourself."

After a pause, Jiang Haofeng said with some relief: "Fortunately, our human race is prosperous and you are not deeply impressed. Otherwise, I am afraid we really need to change a human king."

Emperor Xin was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Can the Human King be replaced?"

"Naturally."

"Indeed, the Human King is protected by the destiny of humanity. No one in the prehistoric world can do anything to the Human King, not even a saint."

“But the Human King is still the Human King after all, not the Human Emperor. The luck of the human race on the Human King was not gathered by the Human King himself, but was gathered by the Human Emperor and then handed over to the Human King to carry.”

"If half of the human race's supreme elders agree to replace the human king, the human race's ancestral pavilion can depose the human king!"

So that's how it is. Emperor Xin nodded with a look of sudden realization. After coming to Zhonghuang Mountain today, Emperor Xin finally understood that the Shang Dynasty under his rule was only a small part of the human race, and the real foundation of the human race was in Zhonghuang Mountain.

Besides, as the Human King, it’s not like no one can do anything to me.

The Human King is protected by the destiny of humanity, and no immortal in the world can hurt him. But if he is no longer the Human King, then everything will be in vain.

For a moment, an invisible pressure fell on Emperor Xin, and he immediately became much more obedient. He knew that he was not the only one who was the king of men. In other words, if he did not do well, he might be deposed by the ancestors.

"But don't worry. You are already the king of our human race. You are mainly responsible for taking pictures of our human race. You are not tyrannical or cruel. Naturally, we will not depose you."

"Don't worry, my two ancestors, I understand."

"By the way, Old Ancestor Haofeng, is it really impossible to change the influence of this calamity energy?"

"no!"

Under Emperor Xin's expectant gaze, Jiang Haofeng shook his head and said:
"But you don't have to worry too much. The calamity energy permeates the Three Realms. All the living beings in the Three Realms are contaminated by the calamity energy, even the saints are no exception, but the degree of contamination varies. You have the luck of the human race to protect you, and the calamity energy of the calamity should be the lowest in the prehistoric world except for the Dao Ancestor."

“Although you were plotted against by Zhunti the day before yesterday, the protection of the human race’s destiny has not completely dissipated. You were only contaminated with a trace of calamity energy, which is not considered serious in the Three Realms.”

Emperor Xin was stunned when he heard this, and the solemn look on his face disappeared instantly. Yes, there are only a few creatures in the Three Realms who are protected by luck. He just lost the protection of the luck of the human race for a short while. It is not a big deal at all. There is nothing to worry about. The rest of the people are fine when they stay under the calamity energy all day long, so why should he worry about it!
Looking at Emperor Xin who had regained his confidence, Jiang Haofeng nodded with satisfaction, and then it was up to Emperor Xin.

Jiang Haofeng did not tell the truth to Emperor Xin. Not everyone will be infected by the calamity energy. The degree of infection for those who are destined to be calamed and ordinary people is completely different. Even though Emperor Xin was only exposed for a short while, a lot of calamity energy poured in due to the opportunity.

Otherwise, Emperor Xin would not have had such evil thoughts in the Nuwa Temple.

Fortunately, these calamities are much less than in the original time and space. In addition, in the original time and space, Emperor Xin is the master of the world and the common leader of the human race, and is respected by all the nine states!

Possessing the highest power in the world, without any restrictions!

It was fine when Emperor Xin was still a wise ruler, but when the calamity energy entered his body and Emperor Xin began to have distracting thoughts, the lack of any power to restrain him would magnify the evil thoughts in his heart exponentially.

Ordinary people are affected by the calamity energy and would consider some court laws when they want to kill someone. But it is different for the Human King. If he wants to kill someone, he will kill directly without considering anything. Therefore, once the Human King has evil thoughts, these evil thoughts will easily grow!

This is also the reason why Jiang Haofeng specifically proposed that Zuge could abolish the Human King, in order to restrain Emperor Xin and restrain the evil thoughts in his heart.

"The second is that the catastrophe has arrived. According to my calculations, this catastrophe will inevitably affect the human world. The Human King needs to pay attention to the human world at all times. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to Zhonghuang Mountain to find us, and we will help you!"

"Thank you, Ancestor Haofeng!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's face immediately brightened up and he bowed.

"As for the third point, it is to let you know about the background of our human race. As the Human King, you are qualified to know the background of our human race."

"Come with me!"

A moment later, Emperor Xin walked out of Zhonghuang Mountain in a daze, with shock on his face.

Jiang Haofeng waved his sleeves, and 28,000 elite soldiers of the Shang Dynasty appeared in front of everyone again. The expressions of these 28,000 people were exactly the same as before they were taken in by Jiang Haofeng. Jiang Haofeng froze the time and space of that world. In everyone's mind, they had just followed the Human King here.

"You go back."

"Thank you, ancestor!"

After paying his respects to Jiang Haofeng, Emperor Xin mounted his horse and looked at the elite Shang soldiers in full armor before him. The pride in his eyes was no longer there.

The martial arts army that he was so proud of was simply not on the same level as the human warriors!

Among the guards, all of them are Golden Immortals who have attained the Tao of Immortality. If it weren't for him, the Human King, any one of them could wipe out the 28,000 troops under his command without even having to use a second move.

That's the real army!

Emperor Xin suddenly felt ambitious. All of this was the foundation of the human race. With the support of the ancestors, who in the three realms dared to disrupt the Shang Dynasty? (End of this chapter)
