Chapter 212 The Battle Between Yan and Huang
Seeing Wu Tan mention Xing Tian and looking at Yan Nu, everyone was a little confused.
So the people of Shanhai still know Xingtian, so why is he called Emperor Yan?
"Is Xing Tian the Emperor Yan?" Luo Yan asked.
The people of Shanhai were a little confused after hearing this.
Wu Tan calmly said: "The Emperor Yan punished the sky and beheaded the Emperor of Heaven. He was unyielding and never gave up. He used his breasts as his eyes, his navel as his mouth, and danced with his arms and legs..."
Everyone was in an uproar. Was it Emperor Yan who was beheaded? Only after beheading is he called Xingtian?
"In that case, Xingtian is indeed not a personal name, but a nickname."
"It refers to the person who was punished by heaven and had his head cut off, so it is called Xingtian. This is a typical name named after deeds, but its real name is not known."
Luo Yan thought about it and couldn't help asking: "But it's not right. Emperor Yan once ordered Xingtian to help the plow. They are clearly two people."
The Shanhai people were stunned for a while, as if they were struggling to understand what everyone was talking about.
Miao Han, who was on the sidelines, had indeed noticed Wu Tan's use of the word Xing Tian twice, and reminded him: "Luo Yan, to them, Xing Tian is an action."
action? Luo Yan frowned, yes, when this person talked about Emperor Yan before, he said 'he wants to punish the sky', which is using 'punishment' as a verb.
"You mean, Emperor Yan planned to punish Yu Tian, but failed and was beheaded by Emperor Tian? That's why it became what it is now?"
Luo Yan pointed to the image of Yan Nu and said, of course he knew that Yan Nu was neither Xing Tian nor Yan Emperor, but his appearance was misunderstood.
But since everyone thinks so, let's just think that the ancient existence in people's hearts has been resurrected, so as not to explain too much.
All the people in the mountains and seas nodded their heads: "All the people are guilty, and Heaven punishes the people. If Heaven is guilty, why punish Heaven?"
"Therefore, the Xuanyuan clan punishes the people by punishing them, and the Lieshan clan raises the people and punishes the heavens!"
Everyone was stunned, it was so arrogant.
Looking at it from this era, the monks have never heard that all the people can think that God is at fault and want to punish God.
This is like saying that everything is the world's fault. Why do people define God's fault? Don't accept reality?
However, the Demon Dao people didn't think there was any problem. They believed that the Heavenly Dao was a strange thing, unnatural, disturbing fate, distorting various rules, and hindering all living beings.
Yan Nu was even more excited. He and Miao Han looked at each other and realized that the ancient ancestors had long wanted to attack the sky.
Yes, if a person commits a crime, God will punish him, and those who are destined to do it will do justice for God. What should he do if he is guilty on that day? Who will do the punishment for others?
"There is no way of heaven in the world. It suddenly appears and suppresses people's hearts. It deserves to be punished." Yan Nu said. .
Luo Yan frowned slightly: "This is just the current situation. In ancient times, when the human emperor ruled the world, the general trend did not take shape, but there was the problem of alienation."
"If it is a sin for Heaven to turn people into totems, Huangdi has already dealt with this problem very well, and even regarded Heaven as a tool and used it."
"Why did the ancient Emperor Yan insist on punishing Heaven? Just for revenge..."
Everyone was pondering, if according to this statement, the way of heaven at that time was not a big deal.
The human heart has a huge influence on it. In addition, people who become totems also have extraordinary powers, which is actually somewhat beneficial.
Of course, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, because it is too simple and easy to turn into monsters, and no one can develop civilization properly. If this continues, there will be no more human beings, and the entire world will become a fight between monsters in the future.
But this situation was regulated, and Huang Di handled it very well.
He unified the world, differentiated between the mysterious and the secular, and solved the chaotic situation of monsters dancing at that time. It was perfect. I must say it is a pity that he could not transform all the clansmen who had become totems back.
So much so that he used the way of heaven to create the cave world and exiled all such tribesmen here.
From now on, we no longer care, everyone is doing their own thing.
However, it would be unfair to say that he was exiled. The world of Dongtian is much larger than the Shenzhou, with abundant resources and a happy and worry-free life. After three thousand years of multiplication of thousands of races in the mountains and seas, the population has already exceeded 100 million.
If life hadn't been too easy, they wouldn't still be in the primitive era now.
As for the current killings of monks, Huang Di did not expect this. At that time, the immortal way was not so strong, there was no emperor system, and there was no general trend to interfere with the rise and fall of the human race.
Overall, the Yellow Emperor's era had been handled extremely well.
Then why did Emperor Yan still punish Tian and was eventually beheaded by the Emperor of Heaven?
Wu Tan was a little stunned, but then he seemed to realize something and said: "Only those who believe in the Yellow Emperor's method can escape the fate of being turned into a totem."
"But at that time, Emperor Yan was the lord of the world..."
As he said this, everyone suddenly realized that they ignored the situation.
Huang Di's unification of thoughts was not accomplished in one sentence, but a long process.
During this period, he has to do many things, including subduing all races, bringing all peoples back to their hearts, and making everyone believe in his ways...
Otherwise, Heaven will not recognize it.
Before this theory was accepted by everyone, everyone believed in Emperor Yan's theory: Heaven is guilty, and we will punish Heaven to erase it and make all the distorted people come back.
"Yandi believes that Huangdi's method is not perfect. It is nothing more than alienation from life to alienation in practice."
"All peoples will still be alienated. What's the difference between turning into a totem and turning into a human-like monster? Their fate is entirely in the hands of destiny."
"One day, the human race will no longer be able to resist destiny. No matter how hard we try, it will be in vain."
When Wu Tan said this, Luo Yan and Miao Han suddenly heard something was wrong.
"Wait a minute? Everyone can practice?" Luo Yan asked in surprise.
Wu Tan said of course: "Exactly, anyone who cultivates Qi and cultivates virtue to a certain extent will achieve immortality."
"However, the price of immortality will be controlled by destiny."
"So the Yellow Emperor ordered such immortals to live in seclusion in the mountains. So at that time, even though everyone could alienate, all the people were unwilling to alienate, and only a few people could do it."
Everyone was shocked. In ancient times, everyone could practice cultivation!
The system established by Huangdi was mainly to deal with the problem of alienation. No one was willing to alienate and be alone.
Therefore, cultivation was something that was looked down upon at that time... Huangdi did not set a threshold for cultivation at all.
"Where are the immortal bones! Descendants of noble ministers can breed immortal bones. Who set this up?" Luo Yan asked.
However, the witch community was very confused: "What immortal bones? Which clan does the noble minister belong to?"
"..." Everyone was speechless.
In ancient times, there was an aristocratic minister named Mao, a member of a noble family...
The Immortal Bone System was added by latecomers, who added it?
The people of Shanhai must not know about this. At the very least, it should have been added after there were nobles.
Wu Tan continued: "In short, Emperor Yan is unwilling to accept Huang Emperor's way. He believes that this method can only be beneficial for a while, but cannot be a permanent solution."
"The Yellow Emperor's destiny is with him. Maybe nothing will happen while he is alive. But what happens after he dies? In the future, Haotian will continue to absorb people's hearts and grow stronger, and the alienation system will become larger and larger. One day, people's hearts will no longer have room to resist... …So Haotian must be completely eliminated.”
Everyone looked at each other, Emperor Yan was right.
After Huangdi's death, everything gradually changed. There may be human emperors who will step forward to suppress the destiny, such as Emperor Zhuanxu's Jedi Heavenly Power.
But human power is limited, but the way of heaven is infinite.
We cannot expect that there will be saints from generation to generation, and we cannot expect that people's hearts will always be united. As long as there is a gap, the way of heaven will rise.
Over the past three thousand years, the world has undergone tremendous changes. The immortal way is no longer what it used to be, and the destiny is no longer what it used to be.
Everyone seeks immortality, everyone respects heaven, destiny is like the supreme decree, and even the emperor is just the son of heaven. All powers in the world must be subject to its arrangements.
Theoretically, it is no longer possible to resist the destiny of heaven. Judging from the results, Emperor Yan's idea is right.
Yan Nu was very sensitive. He looked at the witch altar and said in a deep voice: "You said that the Yellow Emperor received the destiny?"
The shaman said of course: "The Yellow Emperor is a man of great talent, and it is his destiny to put down the turmoil!"
"What!"
Everyone was shocked. Could it be that Huangdi was the first destined person?
No wonder the Yellow Emperor had all kinds of gods and beasts to help him. Every time he was defeated, powerful gods always came out to help him.
He was given the destiny to rise from his youth, sweep the world, and defeat Emperor Yan.
In an instant, everyone looked ugly: "Xing Tian competed with the Emperor of Heaven for the throne, and the Emperor of Heaven killed him. Is the Emperor of Heaven the Yellow Emperor?"
Wu Tan said proudly: "Exactly, my Xuanyuan clan has given birth to the first Heavenly Emperor."
"Damn it, it turns out that the Yellow Emperor is the one destined by fate. He compromised with the way of heaven and gained victory, blocking the great cause of punishing and killing the way of heaven..." Yan Nu said angrily.
"Ah?" Wu Tan was very confused and didn't know why everyone had such a big reaction.
He thought for a while, then his expression changed: "Could it be that the outside world has forgotten about Yanhuang and does not remember the ancestors?"
"That's not true..." Luo Yan said, "We are all descendants of Yan and Huang."
Even many monks said: "Both Yan and Huang are ancient saints, and we dare not forget them."
Wu Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked strangely: "Then why are you so surprised? Isn't it good that the Yellow Emperor has accomplished great things and held the destiny of heaven?"
Seeing the proud look on his face, Yannu Miaohan looked at each other and found that the destiny that others understood was a little different.
Miaohan immediately explained what they knew about the destiny, the general trend, and even the current situation in the outside world.
There is no doubt that these people want to defy heaven, go against the trend, and end the way of heaven.
Therefore, in their view, the Destined Ones are the lackeys of Heaven.
But if the Yellow Emperor was really a lackey of heaven, how could these transformed people of the mountains and seas remember him and respect him?
Sure enough, after hearing this, Wu Tan said: "My ancestor, the Yellow Emperor, pacified the world, brought all the people to their hearts, became the emperor of men, and held the destiny of heaven in his hand, and became the emperor of heaven."
"At this point, the human heart and the destiny are integrated into one, and the destiny is used as a tool to apply to the human heart."
"I didn't expect that the destiny system of future generations would be like this..."
He looked strange and looked very sad.
Miaohan's mouth was bitter, and the monks felt faintly ashamed.
Yan Nu suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
He was vaguely excited. Before, he felt a little confused after hearing Miaohan's path to defeating the Heaven-defying Immortal Emperor. After all, it was still unclear how to defeat the Heaven.
It turns out that in ancient times, someone had already thought of it.
The ancient destiny was the tool of the Yellow Emperor. He conveniently used the way of heaven to realize various fantasies and serve the human race.
For example, this Baize world was probably created directly by him using his destiny. There are also various restrictions such as immortal cultivators not being able to interfere with the secular world, which he also stipulated in the name of the Emperor of Heaven.
The Yellow Emperor was indeed the destined one, but he was also the Emperor of Man. Strictly speaking, what he established was the ‘Emperor of Heaven-Emperor of Humanity system’.
He is not only the co-master of the human race, but also the master of destiny.
This is actually very wonderful. It integrates all the chaotic cultural beliefs of ancient times into one. Not only the secular world, but also the power of ghosts and gods must be unified.
As long as there are people who have great achievements and can shoulder these two major responsibilities, then God's will is not a concern and they can get off work.
Luo Yan exclaimed: "I understand... Huang Di is a true genius. He used the rules of heaven to establish an almost perfect system and sealed the heaven."
"Without destroying the way of heaven, its influence has been reduced to the lowest level... A good dancer with long sleeves, defying the will of heaven and solving practical problems."
"No wonder you said that he has found an excellent balance between man and nature."
"It's a pity that he was able to play this system well, and later Emperor Zhuanxu was also able to play it well, but that doesn't mean that there will be people in every subsequent generation who can play it well..."
"The ancient ancestors guided the destiny...but in later generations, they became the leaders of the destiny."
"Everything has gone bad, maybe the immortal bones are the same."
Everyone couldn't help but be moved when they recalled the rules of the Immortal Bones.
It makes it possible for a very small number of rulers to practice, but the vast majority of people cannot practice, which sets a threshold for cultivating immortals.
If you look at it from the perspective of 'alienation is a bad thing', this seems to be preventing the trend of 'alienation for everyone'. It is a patch on the basis of the Yellow Emperor. Just like immortal cultivators cannot interfere with the secular world, it is an attack on the power of heaven. Expansion contained.
The original framers of Immortal Bones may have believed that alienation was something that the general public could not control and could easily be exploited by heaven, causing it to get out of control.
As Emperor Yan said, not everyone can be alienated.
So if we want to alienate, leave it to the ruling class. A few of them are very clear-headed. If they want to be alienated, they can be alienated. If they don't want to be alienated, they can be alienated. They can grasp this.
It's a pity that as time has passed, this idea seems naive. Maybe in the time of the framers, the nobles were a very small group of people, or even a group that specialized in grasping the way of heaven.
At that time, this method may have solved many problems.
But time has changed everything, society has become more and more complex, and the aristocracy has become larger and larger. Who still remembers the original intention?
"The good governance of ancient times is now bad governance." Luo Yan said with emotion.
It is known that immortal cultivators cannot interfere with the secular world. It is the chain imposed by the Yellow Emperor.
His successor, Emperor Zhuanxu, was responsible for the sealing of the authority over the gods.
Suddenly looking back, after understanding the ancient attitude towards alienation, it turns out that the various settings for cultivating immortals seemed to have good starting points.
It's just... it's been 'corrected', changed, and loopholes have been taken advantage of.
When did it start to deteriorate? It's probably the Son of Heaven system...someone becomes the son of Heaven.
From that moment on, there was no longer an emperor, and the Yellow Emperor's system of sealing the way of heaven completely collapsed.
Yuan Fu sighed bitterly: "So we still have to punish Tian...otherwise, Heaven will take control of everything sooner or later..."
A Lushan elder said: "What Emperor Yan wanted was to completely eliminate the way of heaven. Looking at it now, this is the root cause."
"The system established by the Yellow Emperor is like a ship that needs to be constantly patched. It requires generations of experienced people to grasp the needs of the times."
Another Zhongnan Mountain elder said: "This is the flaw in the Yellow Emperor's way. Once there is no successor...the descendants are unworthy, everything will be counterattacked by the law of heaven!"
They actually started chatting and started commenting on Yanhuang's choice.
The elders of Jiuhua Mountain in the crowd said in horror: "What are you talking about! The law of heaven has existed forever since ancient times. You...do you really believe this?"
"If so... who are we? Aren't we just unworthy descendants!"
Many monks were too excited to accept such a thing. They couldn't believe that the ancient ancestors were all defying heaven and trying to solve the law of heaven.
The ancestors are like this, so what are they doing?
The monks who had been discussing just now changed their expressions and lowered their heads in confusion. They actually listened and listened.
Bring it into the Yanhuang perspective spoken by the people of Shanhai to look at the way of heaven.
Is this a demonic barrier...or is it enlightenment?
Some monks are in great pain. On the one hand, they dare not deny their lives, but on the other hand, they are afraid that this is the truth and they have betrayed their ancestors.
Such hesitation tortured them, as if they were falling into endless purgatory.

p.s: Sorry. There is one more chapter, but it will take a while, maybe half an hour.
