Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 3: Ancient Times, Heaven, and the Past of the Three Emperors

When talking about the structure of heaven and earth, we have to mention the ancient times and the three supreme emperors of that ancient era.

Today, the reason why the world is ruled by the Heavenly Court and all races coexist in the ancient times is due to the three Heavenly Emperors and Gods of the ancient times.

Among them, Emperor Cangli was the first one to achieve enlightenment. It was also his sudden appearance, unification of the gods with his personal force, and the opening up of the Nine Heavens, thus establishing the current heavenly system.

Above the Heavenly Court, the gods of various clans discuss the affairs of the ancient world together. It is also with the power of these gods that the Heavenly Court is able to respond to the will of heaven, help all living beings, and manage the mountains, rivers, and the universe.

Of course, in this process, in order to unify the ancient forces, the Cangli clan had to make concessions to the gods, divide the myriad races, and separate some of the root authority of the Nine Heavens and hand it over to some ancient gods.

Among them was Qi Yu's predecessor, the sea god Yuqiang. He obtained the authority of the Milky Way, and because of this, he formally established his position as the ancestor of water in the past. He was even able to use it to suppress the ancestor dragon and dominate the great cycle of water.

Although such division solved the problem temporarily, it also left hidden dangers.

With the accumulation of power, many ancient gods rose rapidly and opened up their own lineages and traditions. As a result, the power of these ancient gods gradually became too powerful to be controlled, and they "obeyed orders but not decrees" from the Heavenly Court.

This phenomenon naturally aroused the vigilance of the Heavenly Court, but at that time, the Emperor Cangli had never found a suitable solution.

It was not until after his death that Emperor Di Yue Jian emerged and ascended the throne, gradually changing the situation.

As Yue Jian was able to confront the powerful Yuqiang at that time and suppress the tyranny of Zulong in the alliance, his methods were naturally extraordinary.

During his reign, he opened up the underworld and dispelled the evil spirits from the earth, providing a foundation for the reproduction and survival of acquired races. In the process of identifying the dragon veins of the earth, he also cleaned out many stubborn elements among the gods.

Even some great gods during the reign of the Emperor of Heaven were suppressed, banned, or even killed by the tyrannical means of the Emperor of Earth Yue Jian. As a result, the customs of the ancient world were cleared up.

Unfortunately, God did not give them long enough to carry out the reforms of the Gods, and they were never completed during the Emperor of Earth's era.

At that time, Yue Jian, who had laid the foundation for the reincarnation, had achieved great success and his cultivation was no less than that of Cangli in the past. Therefore, he also chose to try to prove the Dao of Hunyuan.

But when he was trying to prove his truth, some remnants of the old gods launched the most fierce counterattack and reached the Ninth Heaven.

At the same time, the reincarnation and underworld at that time had not been truly perfected, so in the process of proving the Tao, Yue Jian suffered the most terrifying backlash from the underworld, and ultimately failed, and everything was in vain.

Fortunately, Yue Jian's spirit lives on, and his ideas were accepted by the last of the Three Emperors, the Human Emperor Jiutou.

Therefore, after Jiu Tou became the Emperor of Man, he vigorously promoted the reform of the Gods. At the same time, he enlightened countless acquired races, allowing all spirits to flourish on the earth and the civilization of all races to prosper.

Going forward in time, it was the era when the Human Emperor Jiu Tou attained enlightenment and passed away, and the Five Emperors of the Gods ascended to heaven to rule together.

Unfortunately, the Five Emperors were unable to continue the will of the Three Sovereigns. Instead, they were full of conflicts with each other and were keen on internal struggles.

Eventually, a brutal civil war broke out among them. Only the Green Emperor Fuxi anticipated the changes and chose to retire. The rest of the emperors were not so clear-headed and rational.

Under the instigation of the White Emperor Luohou, a war broke out between the Black Emperor Ancestral Dragon, the Red Emperor Ancestral Phoenix, the Yellow Emperor Ancestral Qilin and the three tribes under the command of the three emperors.

The war among the three tribes further involved the three major tribes of scaled armor, birds, and beasts, turning the ancient land into almost a meat grinder.

At the same time, this war also affected the stability of the original system of Heaven's control over the prehistoric world, causing Heaven to lose power and the way of heaven to be shaken.

All these things detonated the long-accumulated calamity in the entire prehistoric world. Finally, the first calamity in the prehistoric world since the creation of the world broke out! This calamity was later called -

The Longhan catastrophe!

Amidst the endless wars and bloodshed, the prosperous situation since the reign of the Human Emperor was completely broken, and the ancient times became completely history.

In the end, this first catastrophe in history ended with the White Emperor being executed, the Green Emperor retiring, and the Black, Red, and Yellow Emperors being completely suppressed.

When the catastrophe was completely over, the three most powerful tribes among the gods were also hit hard. The dragon tribe dominated the four seas and was the overlord of the water element for a long time after the Yuqiang era, so it could barely maintain its position.

However, the Phoenix and Qilin tribes suffered heavy losses due to the catastrophe, and had to retreat to the Nanli Volcano and Buzhou Mountain respectively, and have since withdrawn from the ranks of the top forces of the gods.

This is why today Emperor Taiyi has rebuilt the ancient order, and emerging forces such as the witch clan and the demon clan have risen rapidly to become the rulers and chess players between heaven and earth.

Today, although the matter of dividing the Nine Heavens is no easier than the rotation of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the sacred artifacts of the country in ancient times, and can easily cause turmoil in the entire prehistoric world, it is also not a trivial matter.

At least for the existing situation, something like the Nine Heavens Division can definitely be regarded as a subversion.

Perhaps, this is also another new attempt by Taiyi to inherit the will of the Three Emperors and reform the gods.

At the very least, once the Eight Directions Heavenly Emperor returns to his position, the prehistoric world will inevitably enter a completely new era. The Eight Directions Heavenly Emperor and the Eight Desolate Heavenly Court will suppress the major divine clans' lineages and check and balance those ancient divine clans' traditions.

The Eight Desolate Heavenly Court undoubtedly holds the title of righteousness and can conquer all the major legal lineages. At the same time, the authority of the Eight Directions Heavenly Emperor comes from the central government. It is impossible for him to openly defy Taiyi, and he is resisted by all the major forces of the gods. He can only keep moving closer to Taiyi.

After a series of attacks and counterattacks, Emperor Taitian will gain all the benefits, and the authority of the Central Heavenly Court will become more and more stable.

Qi Yu even suspected that this division of the Nine Heavens might be related to the future enlightenment of Emperor Taiyi, and was one of his important early arrangements.

After all, looking back at the three ancient emperors, the reason why they failed to achieve enlightenment, in addition to the obstruction of external enemies, a large part of the reason came from the constraints of the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.

Cangli created the Nine Heavens and became the emperor. He followed the Way of Heaven, but when the sky collapsed and murderous intent was aroused, the stars moved and the universe shifted.

Yue Jian created the cycle of reincarnation and turned the earth into his own imperial base, but he had to face the murderous intentions of the earth, dragons and snakes rising from the land, and finally he died due to the backlash.

Jiu Tou clan created the prosperity of the acquired era, created countless acquired creatures favored by humanity, and carried the hopes of all people. He can almost be called the Emperor of Humanity.

But even so, in the end, it was backfired by humanity and became the prelude to the beginning of the catastrophe.

People are murderous and the world is turned upside down.

After the Three Emperors, great gods successively summarized the experiences and lessons of the Three Emperors in proving the Tao and saw this point. After the end of the ancient times, this view became even more recognized by the prehistoric world.

Taitian Emperor may now be taking this opportunity to realize the transfer of Emperor's power in advance, to lay out and create conditions for his future achievement of Hunyuan.
