I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

The term "humanity" changed from referring to the innate Tao body to referring to the human race alone after the collapse of the great chaos.

this period
This was the period when the Asuras were originally to be recruited into the samsara cycle.

If this is the case, then what did the powerful person who used the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag to involve the entire Asura clan mean?
The other party knew very well that the six realms of reincarnation were very busy and that all kinds of reincarnation required manpower, and that there was an urgent need for Asuras, but they still wanted to "lock up" the Asuras in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

The biggest problem with this is that without the reinforcements from the Asura clan, Samsara will always be short of manpower.

Perhaps some people who have reincarnated could have been reborn as other races through reincarnation.

But in the end, due to lack of manpower, they were all classified as the human race, which led to the human race becoming increasingly large and the fortune of humanity expanding.

So the powerful person who imprisoned the Asuras is actually a senior of the human race?
Jiang Wang left the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag with all kinds of doubts.

Outside the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, Emperor Zhenwu was waiting for Jiang Wang.

Seeing Jiang Wang leaving the flag, the Great Emperor Zhenwu smiled at Jiang Wang and said, "Daoyou, did you gain anything? I hope those monsters didn't give you any trouble."

For some reason, Jiang Wang always felt that after he came out of the Xuanyuan Water Controlling Flag, the attitude of the Zhenwu Emperor towards him became more than twice better.

"You are joking, Master. Why are those monsters trying to embarrass me?"

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

What's more, the person in front of him is no longer an ordinary existence, he is a true lord! In a while, his status will be able to rise to that of a great emperor.

Jiang Wang is just a mere Xuanxian, and hasn't even figured out the meaning of the nature of gold, so it's better for him not to show off.

"The demon clan is difficult to get along with. Only fellow Taoist can make those demon clans sit down and talk calmly." The Great Emperor Zhenwu did not say much about the demon clan. He seemed to know that Jiang Wang would be able to convince those demon clans.

Emperor Zhenwu changed the subject and said, "Daoyou, you should have seen the Asuras, right? What do you think of these Asuras?"

Jiang Wang remained silent.

What does he think?
He just wanted to bring the Asura tribe under his command.

This race created by the ancestor of the Styx is too special. No one knows why the Heaven did not bestow too much merit on it back then, which led to the ancestor of the Styx ignoring the Asura of the Blood Sea.

"True Lord, what happened to the Asura tribe back then? They should have been reincarnated, so why are they in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag?"

Seeing that Emperor Zhenwu seemed to want to speak, Jiang Wang decided to open the conversation.

Both sides should have a frank talk.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu made a gesture of invitation: "Please come into the Zhenwu Hall for a chat."

"Yes, Master Zhen, please."

Following the Zhenwu Emperor into the Zhenwu Palace, I saw the Zhenwu Emperor casually throwing the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag at him.

The emerald green ban enveloped the entire Zhenwu Hall.

"Fellow Daoist, this matter is of great importance. Please listen to me one by one."

The time point of the rupture of the primitive world was a certain moment after the great catastrophe of the lich.

The exact time cannot be determined.

It was a very chaotic time.

After the Lich Catastrophe, it did not mean that the human race, the destined race, would rise immediately.

After the great catastrophe of the liches, the liches still ruled the world for quite a long time.

The reason is also very simple.

During the Lich Calamity, the entire human race was almost destroyed.

If it weren't for the powerful people protecting a part of the human race, it would be a question whether the human race could have fire to continue the life of the race.

Therefore, after the great catastrophe of the Liches, the human race still did not have the power to fight against the Liches.

During that period, the human race was still not the so-called destined race, and it was even less likely that the destiny of humanity would surpass that of the demon and witch races.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

During the period after the end of the Lich Catastrophe, the demon race still possessed powerful strength, and was extremely powerful.

However, although extremely powerful, the demon race had already shown a great decline at this time.

One obvious point is that the demon race during this period no longer dared to attack other races at will.

You have to know that the original demon clan was fearless and dared to be provoked by anyone. Except for the witch clan, the demon clan was a giant!

Even after the war between wizards and liches, the demon clan lived well without the support of great demons like Di Jun and Tai Yi.

Therefore, it is impossible for the demon clan to plan such a major event as the rupture of the prehistoric world!

The rupture of the primitive world does not bring any benefit to the demon race.

If the ancient world had not split, the demon race would not have been torn apart in the physical sense.

The demon race is not falling apart, and at least remains nominally intact. Even without those top-level demons, the decline of the demon race would not be so frighteningly fast.

After the split of the ancient world, the demon race declined at an alarming speed.

In less than a few epochs, the demon race completely declined.

Lingshan rises.

After its rise, Lingshan quickly took control of the demon clan of Xiniu Hezhou. From then on, the demon clan of Xiniu Hezhou became the dogs of Lingshan.

If the demon clan was really that stupid, they wouldn't have become the most powerful clan and competed with the witch clan for supremacy in the ancient world.

It is impossible for them not to know the fate of the demon clan after the split of the ancient world. The demon clan is such a large clan, and not all of them are stupid. There are quite a lot of wise men in the demon clan. After experiencing the great catastrophe of liches and wizards, they are still giving advice to the demon clan.

As for the witch clan...

The witch clan doesn’t have that brain.

If the Wu clan had some brains, all the clans would not have been united by Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun to become a unified demon clan.

Not to mention that the Wu clan has the brains to take action against Honghuang.

With this kind of brain, even without the ancestor witch Hou Tu, the witch clan can defeat the demon clan.

Before the War between Wizards and Liches, did the demons in the sky like to stay in the sky, so they sent all the essences of each race to settle on the stars in the sky, so that there are still descendants of demon fairies on all the stars now?

Isn’t it all because the witch clan is too powerful that they forced the demon clan to the sky?
Do you really think that the stars in the sky are better than the great earth?
If this is true, then the demon clan is stupid enough to fight the witch clan to the death and must fight for the right to control the prehistoric land?
……

The Great Emperor Zhenwu was obviously very familiar with what happened after the war between the wizards and the liches.

He slowly narrated the history of the development of the human race after the Lich War.

Jiang Wang was confused.

Why did the Great Emperor Zhenwu tell him the history of the development of the human race...

You can't?
You can't!
Jiang Wang suddenly realized a terrible fact.

It can't be that the human race caused the division of the universe, right?

This can't be done!

First of all, the human race was not strong at that time, and there were not many strong people among them.

Jiang Wang's master, Master Xuandu, was just a minion at that time.

And even though the demon clan was beaten so badly in the war between wizards and liches, the demon clan did not lose their basic bases such as the heavenly court and the stars in the sky!
At that time, the battle site of the war between the witches and the lich was the prehistoric land! This also caused the heaven to be controlled by the demons for a long time after the war.

Later, Haotian came to power and used strong means to eliminate many demons and fairies, thus liberating the Heaven from the hands of the demons.

"True Lord, you don't mean to say that it was the human race that caused the destruction of the prehistoric world back then, right?"

Jiang Wang denied it: "If the human race had this ability, why did they have to live so miserably after the war between wizards and liches?"

Emperor Zhenwu smiled and said, "Your words make sense, but...what if it wasn't done by the human race at that time?"

"What do you mean, Master?"

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you curious as to why the fortune of humanity has expanded to such an extent today?" The Great Emperor Zhenwu held up the Xuanyuan Water Controlling Flag and enveloped the two of them in layers of restrictions.

Jiang Wang shook his head: "I'm not curious. Not knowing some things is a blessing."

When it comes to humanity's destiny, Jiang Wang doesn't want to say anything more.

Ever since he learned that the destiny of humanity dominated the occurrence of many things, he felt that the destiny of humanity in the prehistoric world was very strange.

It is said that human nature is far inferior to the way of heaven, but this is not the case in the prehistoric world.

After the Taoist Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao, the last bit of flaw was made up. The Heavenly Dao should have gone a step further, but now it has evolved into the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao advancing in tandem. In the various deeds of the Human Dao in the prehistoric times, there are even vague signs that it is surpassing the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

Just like the Great Emperor Zhenwu in front of Jiang Wang.

According to a certain trajectory of the operation of the heavenly way, as a former subordinate of the Ziwei Emperor, it should be impossible for the Zhenwu Emperor to surpass the Ziwei Emperor and become the new emperor.

Under the way of heaven, all beings are "equal", and the "equality" here means equality without any chance.

It is true that the Way of Heaven has no self-emotions, but the Way of Heaven has a certain will, and the Way of Heaven does not like the existence of "unruly people".

The dragon, phoenix and unicorn did not follow the rules and crossed the boundaries of their respective races, which caused a war. Thus, there was the dragon and phoenix catastrophe, and the dragon, phoenix and unicorn have been in decline since then.

The liches did not follow the rules and wanted to monopolize the entire prehistoric world, leaving no way for other tribes to survive. As a result, the liches suffered a great catastrophe and the liches declined from then on.

Six saints emerged and argued endlessly about their respective sects, which aroused murderous intent from Heaven, thus leading to the great catastrophe of Conferred Gods, and from then on all the saints retired.

Judging from various events, the Heavenly Dao is very concerned about controlling the basic operating rules of the prehistoric world, and anything that is out of its control will eventually be forcibly corrected.

But Emperor Zhenwu was that accident.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu should have been forced to correct his mistakes by the Heavenly Dao long ago, and become a part of the Heavenly Court again, under the command of the Great Emperor Ziwei.

But he is independent of the Heavenly Palace and has a title in the human world, called the Great Emperor. With the blessing of humanity, everyone knows that the title of Zhenwu Great Emperor will come true sooner or later.

Jiang Wang was thinking.

Seeing that Jiang Wang didn't say anything, the Great Emperor Zhenwu didn't keep him in suspense: "The reason why humanity has expanded to such an extent today is all because of that person's connivance."

That one?

Jiang Wang looked at the Great Emperor Zhenwu, who was staring at the Xuanyuan Water Controlling Flag calmly.

He kind of understood.

But why would that person do that?

In terms of closeness and distance, that person is obviously much closer to the Way of Heaven than to the Way of Man.

“But based on the closeness of the relationship, that person has a better relationship with the Heavenly Dao, so why should the Human Dao rise?” Jiang Wang was puzzled.

"The rise of humanity is of no benefit to him. What he has always pursued is harmony and balance."

The person that Jiang Wang and Emperor Zhenwu were talking about was none other than the Taoist Ancestor who was in harmony with the Way of Heaven.

Daozu's experience in the prehistoric times was not smooth sailing, but at least it was uneventful.

Ever since Daozu first appeared in the prehistoric world, he has been a top-notch powerful being.

Later, during the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, the demon Rāhu caused chaos, causing the three tribes to attack each other, and finally fell into an unprecedented war.

It was during this period that Daozu joined forces with several powerful men of the same period to fight against Luohou.

In that battle, several powerful men called by Daozu were all killed by Luohou. They were all famous people with great prospects, but they all died in that battle. It was truly tragic.

However, that battle made Daozu soar to the top of the world!

After that battle, Daozu not only became famous in the prehistoric world, but also gained merit from the Heavenly Dao, thus laying the foundation for his spiritual practice.

Once the foundation of practice is established, subsequent things will naturally come to fruition.

On the eve of the great calamity of the liches, the Taoist ancestor became a saint.

After becoming a saint, Daozu preached three times and gained 3,000 disciples.

From then on, all the disciples of Honghuang were under the command of Daozu!
The Taoist pursued harmony and stability, so there were constant small disputes in the ancient world, but major disputes did not exist during the three times when the Taoist preached.

During the great calamity between the liches and wizards, there were several conflicts between the two tribes!
In the eyes of many powerful people, the previous conflicts were just minor fights!

The saints did not intervene either, just sat and watched the wizards and liches fighting each other.

Only the last war between the liches and the sorcerers was so terrible and terrifying.

The entire Lich and Witch tribes put almost everything on the line for this battle! !

Aren't they afraid of Daozu's wrath? They are afraid, but they were not very afraid when the fight started.

Because during that period Daozu was at a very critical stage.

Since Hou Tu Niangniang created the cycle of reincarnation, the possibility of a fight between the wizard and the lich races is extremely low. After all, the cycle of reincarnation has made great contributions to the world and has brought some relief to the relationship between the wizard and the lich races.

On the other hand, reincarnation makes up for the shortcomings of the Way of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven is only one step away from perfection.

It was at this time that the Taoist chose to merge with the Dao.

Be in harmony with the Tao and make the Way of Heaven perfect.

The Taoist Ancestor had a plan for choosing this period to achieve harmony with the Tao.

People in later generations can basically see this by observing the history of the ancient times.

On the eve of the Daoist Ancestor's integration with the Dao, there were six saints coexisting, reincarnation was born, and the human way began to emerge. The two races of wizards and liches were in a state of mutual restraint as a whole because of the emergence of reincarnation.

This period of harmony with the Tao is an extremely good time for the Taoist Patriarch. It can be said to be a day destined by heaven!

No worries!

But what was beyond Daozu's expectation was that while he was in harmony with the Dao, the lich started fighting.

And the fighting was very serious, from the initial local wars to the entire prehistoric world being engulfed in war.

It eventually turned into an unprecedented catastrophe.

Both Jiang Wang and Emperor Zhenwu were aware of this matter. What confused Jiang Wang now was why Emperor Zhenwu said that the division of the ancient world was related to humanity, and it was not the humanity of the past.

And he also said that letting the destiny of the Dao destroy the prehistoric world was tacitly approved by the Dao Ancestor! ?
If the Taoist ancestor acquiesced, at that time, in addition to the destiny of humanity, there were many other existences that could forcibly shatter the prehistoric world.

Not to mention the Six Saints for now, even those below the Six Saints can accomplish things like destroying the ancient world.

Why is it the fate of humanity?

And it’s not the destiny of humanity at that time! It’s the destiny of humanity downstream of time. (End of this chapter)
