Chapter 161: Creation of the world, out of nothing!

For a long time, Zhao Si has been very curious about this version of Honghuang.

Because it has too many new settings, it is quite different from the current conventional prehistoric in many aspects:

For example, the human race, the war between wizards and liches, merit, and the way of heaven...

But after Zhao Si received part of Pangu's memory, he found that the previous new settings were all minor characters. In terms of the creation of the world, that was the real huge difference!
In the conventional story of Pangu creating the world, the general plot is: Pangu and three thousand demons were born from the chaos, and then Pangu wanted to create the world and prove his truth, but the three thousand demons blocked his way, so Pangu killed them one by one.

Finally, Pangu used an axe to create the world and separate the chaos. The pure air rose to form the sky, and the turbid air sank to form the earth. After doing all this, Pangu exploded gold coins on the spot, and transformed into the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and so on...

But this version of Pangu creating the world is completely different from the above:
In the chaos here, there are no three thousand chaos demons, only Pangu.

Literally "there is only Pangu", apart from Him, there is nothing, including chaos itself!
There is nothing that can split the "chaotic energy", nor is there any "chaotic space", nor is there any "chaotic spiritual treasure" or "chaotic spiritual root".

The starting point of everything is Pangu!

Before Pangu, chaos meant "nothing", there was no aura, matter, life, or even the concept of space.

The so-called Pangu creating the world, in essence, is that Pangu used his own body to transform into the world, rather than him using the axe of creation to split the "chaotic air" to create it!

The eyes turned into the sun and the moon, the hair turned into stars, and the body turned into the universe...

It would be better to say that He is a lump of matter rather than a person. He uses this lump of matter to expand the "space" and constitute everything in the ancient world.

And beyond the great chaos, it is still the "nothingness" before He created the world.

"Pangu is [existence], and chaos is [nothingness], the two complement each other... and Pangu was born from chaos, which means [something came out of nothing], that is, the origin of all matter..."

This completely different worldview made Zhao Si ponder for a long time before he slowly came to his senses:

"So... Pangu creating the world is equal to the Big Bang, and Pangu is equal to the material singularity?"

This is novel!

Zhao Si couldn't help but become interested:

"This setting is quite scientific..."

Although talking about science in a world like Honghuang where idealism is rampant is nonsense in itself, this nonsense is eye-opening. After all, we have seen too much conventional Honghuang, so it is novel to occasionally come up with something new.

"As for enlightenment..."

Zhao Si closed his eyes and thought for a while:
Hongjun once said that the meaning of achieving enlightenment is "becoming Pangu". It is impossible for anyone other than the Ancestral Witch to become Pangu in material terms, so in reality, only the "True Spirit Enlightenment Method" is feasible!

The method of achieving enlightenment through the True Spirit is, in essence, to use the "Pangu consciousness" of the True Spirit to drive the "Pangu body" of the great universe.

Whether it is the Third Ancestor's "bloodline enlightenment" or Hongjun's "indirect enlightenment", the principle is the same.

Theoretically, after achieving enlightenment, one can perfectly control the power of the ancient universe like Pangu. By analogy, they are equivalent to the Six Saints of later generations. This is why the Six Saints are so superb.

In fact, the power of an enlightened person is far more than just this one aspect:
Compared with mastering the power of heaven and earth, a more important ability for those who have achieved enlightenment is to be able to "create something out of nothing" like Pangu!
Pangu was born in chaos, which is a true creation out of nothing. He really created matter and used his own matter to create the primitive world.

The enlightened one is equivalent to Pangu in consciousness, which means that the enlightened one can also create objective existence independent of chaos like Him!

“That’s why Hongjun said that those who have attained enlightenment can solve all the problems facing the prehistoric world…”

Zhao Si suddenly realized:
That's true. If you can create something out of nothing, doesn't that mean you can get unlimited gold coins? If you need resources, you can just rub them out of thin air. You are like an endless energy source, a perpetual motion machine!

Such an unreasonable thing can naturally solve all the problems facing the prehistoric world.

"No wonder Jin Bing was able to achieve eternal chaos in his time. With unlimited resources, as long as Jin Bing held on to the six saints and prevented their six nuclear warheads from causing trouble, he could certainly achieve eternal chaos!"

As for why the Six Saints could beat the super-form Emperor Jiang, Zhao Si also understood:

Di Jiang used the Hongmeng Purple Qi to call Tiandao to ask for inheritance, and took a few bites of Mount Buzhou, so he was called "Little Pangu", and basically defeated Donghuang Taiyi with one punch.

But compared with the Six Saints, Dijiang's "Little Pangu" is too weak. He is "Little Pangu" while the Six Saints are "fake Pangu"!
To defeat the six "fake Pangu" of the Six Saints, it would be enough for Emperor Jiang to eat all the prehistoric world and become the real Pangu...

"But once this news came out, it was a bigger blow to Jiao Ming!"

Zhao Si was a little worried:
In order to save all the sacrificed souls, Jiao Ming reincarnated three times just to defeat the three ancestors and stop their and Hongjun's plan to become an immortal.

In the end, he found that although he did save the victims, the world was left without a Taoist master, and thus fell into a resource crisis. If he didn't handle it well, more people would be sacrificed...

"Don't let your heart break..."

……

[After a long time, you finally broke away from the few memories left by Pangu, but not only did you not become enlightened, but you fell into confusion. ]

[It turns out that the biggest problem that hinders the eternal prosperity of Honghuang is oneself...]

[You suddenly feel like laughing: you tried every possible means to stop Sanzu and Hongjun from sacrificing innocent people, but in the end, sacrifice is necessary! ]

[If we don’t want the prehistoric world to go through rounds of meaningless birth and death, we must sacrifice enough lives and use their true spirits to refine the heaven and earth, give birth to enlightened beings, and end fate…] [In this way, the three precious creatures of the Three Ancestors are actually saving the people of the prehistoric world. The more fiercely the three tribes fight, the faster they will be saved. The precious creatures have transformed themselves into true saints who would rather bear the infamy than save all living beings!]

[I also transformed myself from a self-proclaimed savior to a short-sighted clown who only disrupted the true sage's plan to save the world...]

[Your unwavering faith begins to gradually disintegrate, and your pure heart of Tao slowly wavers and breaks! ]

[So, what is the meaning of my three lives? ]

【Is it meaningless?】

[Your Qi is visibly declining, and the light in your eyes has suddenly dimmed...]

[“I’m always so self-righteous.”]

[You smiled bitterly. From thinking that Sanzu was the ultimate boss, to thinking that Luohou was the ultimate boss, to thinking that Hongjun was the ultimate boss.]

[In the end, I thought that if I didn't let them sacrifice themselves, I could achieve a perfect ending! ]

[However, not sacrificing can only lead to a more tragic ending...]

[“Fellow Daoist, the situation is actually not that bad…”]

[Seeing that your faith is wavering, Hongjun tries to comfort you: Well, listen to me, we will find two scapegoats, and severely offend them first, so that they will slaughter living beings for revenge! ]

[Then we will bring justice to the world, kill the two wronged ones, and maintain peace in the ancient world...]

[When the time comes, the sacrifices of all souls will be enough, and I will then create the Heavenly Dao, and we will become saints together. You will take the top seat, and it will be no problem for Daozu to give up the position to you! ]

[Hongjun said righteously: "It wasn't us who killed him anyway, so we don't even need to bear the psychological burden. By then, we can both avenge Wan Ling and solve the resource crisis, which is the best of both worlds."

【Win-win! Everyone has a bright future! 】

[Listening to this best of both worlds solution, you remained silent...]

[Is Hongjun's proposal feasible? ]

[For him, it is completely feasible, but for me... it is absolutely not possible! ]

[You take a deep breath and gradually regain your previous state of mind. You just pretend you didn't hear Hongjun's suggestion.]

[At this hopeless moment, you are lost and can only place your hopes on the mysterious "other self" again...]

[Ding! Facing the current desperate situation, what is your choice (?) Please fill in freely! ]

OK! Kick the football to me again!
Seeing that Jiao Ming finally chose to seek help off the court, Zhao Si curled his lips, thinking that this kid had a solution.

"But, you throw the problem to me, and I can't do anything about it..."

Zhao Si was also helpless. After playing the game for such a long time, this was the first time he encountered a problem that he was truly helpless about.

No, because this is an either-or dilemma:

If we want to protect all living things from being sacrificed, there will be no enlightened beings to serve as an endless source of energy, and the prehistoric world will be doomed!

And if we want to have enlightened beings to serve as an endless source of energy, we must sacrifice enough souls.

Now there are only two people in the prehistoric world who can achieve enlightenment. Either Zu Feng is the treasured object, or Hong Jun is the treasured object. Anyway, there must be one treasured object...

"and many more!"

Zhao Si was suddenly stunned, and then fell into deep thought:
"There seems to be something wrong with this method of enlightenment..."

Pangu's body turned into the primitive world, and his consciousness turned into various natural gods. The way for the Three Ancestors to achieve enlightenment was to enlighten all spirits, so that all spirits had a weakened version of Pangu's true spirit, and then kill all the spirits, and use these extra weak Pangu's true spirits to refine Pangu's body...

What if, I mean what if...is there a possibility that there is actually no need to activate these additional Pangu Spirits?

Since Pangu's physical body still exists, it means that Pangu's original true spirit has not been destroyed at all, and his entire true spirit has always existed in the prehistoric world!

It’s just that these true spirits have transformed into many natural divine beings.

So in theory, as long as all the fragments of Pangu's true spirit are squeezed together again, even if the thing squeezed out is not the original Pangu, can it just control its entire body?
Can He also create something out of nothing?

If it were possible, then there would be no need to sacrifice all spirits, only the little bit of innate holiness...

cough!
For them, this is not a sacrifice, but an honor!

You can return to the embrace of God the Father and make contributions to all living beings.

Anyway, since the average person has precious things, if we can reuse them and make them shine for everyone, it can be regarded as a "win-win" in another sense...
