Chapter 184 The End of Heaven
Jin Bing? Xuan Du?
After seeing these two familiar names, Zhao Si admitted that his mind was stuck for a moment:
"This...isn't this the original storyline?!"

He thought the background of the new chapter might be Fengshen, Journey to the West, and even guessed it might be Legend of the White Snake, Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Shushan...

In short, Zhao Si had guessed the common plot eras in the normal prehistoric flow, and had made a lot of psychological preparations for this:
Because he is not afraid of these plots. Knowing him inside out is one thing, but what's more important is that he has already upgraded his weapons a long time ago. He has a set of top-notch equipment and skills. He can just give a few to the protagonist as aid, and he can kill people wherever he goes.

At worst, I could just release the colorful bird and use all the power of a saint to destroy all the problems below the saint level into ashes!

However, the key information revealed by the new protagonist in just two sentences made Zhao Si, who was full of calm, confused:

"System, what's going on? Why is the new chapter related to my previous chapter?"

[Players don't need to be suspicious. Every chapter is definitely useful. Besides, the third chapter itself is the hidden chapter you extracted. If any unknown plot appears, you need to solve the puzzle yourself. This system can't help. ]

After receiving the prompt from the system, Zhao Si managed to calm down. Although he was still confused, since it said so, it was obvious that it wanted him to study the plot bit by bit. No matter how many questions he asked, it would be useless.

but……

"The existence of Jin Bing... is understandable. After all, it is not surprising that there is an inheritance relationship between chapters. However... if Jin Bing is present, it would be even more strange for Honghuang to fall into this state..."

Who is Jin Bing?
They were the Six Holy Chosen Ones, with six great saints standing behind them. Di Jun looked very embarrassed, and Di Jiang was completely confused...

It can almost be said that Jin Bing, with the help of a single person, changed his destiny and overthrew the Witch Clan and the Heavenly Court. He is the peerless Heavenly Emperor with unshakable authority!

With such strength and background... How did he get laid off? And even sent to heaven?
It's really the Deus Ex Machina from the Subspace that has invaded, right?

"No... I need to analyze it carefully..."

Zhao Si pondered:
Jin Bing was the powerful Heavenly Emperor supported by the Six Saints. If he was laid off, it certainly could not have been because he was defeated by others, because the Six Saints were not blind.

Therefore, the only possibility for him to be laid off is to abdicate. Considering that the next Heavenly Emperor is Xuandu, the fact must be that Jin Bing felt that he was tired of being the Heavenly Emperor, so he voluntarily abdicated the throne to Xuandu.

Because Xuan Du was the successor he had chosen long ago!

In this case, Zhao Si could probably understand it.

But the following words, "Heaven has long been gone", were really unacceptable to Zhao Si!

"Jin Bing may have abdicated, but how could the Heavenly Palace be gone?!"

As the only legitimate regime of the immortal civilization, the Heavenly Court itself was appointed by the Taoist Ancestor. In other words, it was a tool created to maintain the order of the ancient world and represents the orthodoxy of the immortal way.

It can change the Emperor of Heaven, or change the direction of policy, it can be to maintain "equality among all races", or it can be to maintain "human supremacy"...

It can make many changes, but no matter what, the Heavenly Palace will definitely exist forever, which is determined by the legal source.

Therefore, the Heavenly Palace may deteriorate, but it will never collapse!

“As a result, it has now really closed down…”

The more Zhao Si thought about it, the more confused he became:

"Could it be... that he was really defeated by some Chaos Devil?"

However, not to mention that there is no such thing as Chaos Demon God in this version of prehistoric times, even if there is, there is no way he can defeat the Six Saints!

Even if we take a step back and assume that there really is some kind of Chaos Demon God who is so powerful that he can wipe out the Six Saints and Hongjun Tiandao, can such a powerful Chaos Demon God still leave behind the prehistoric world and the mortal ants there?
He was so kind that the Six Saints cried to death.

All this information put together not only failed to help Zhao Si solve the mystery, but made the whole incident even more confusing...

[Another strategy of yours confuses you, but you don’t know much about these ancient myths and legends, so after thinking about it, you decide to ask someone.]

[You took some food left by the immortals and searched for a long time in the increasingly deserted village, and finally found a distant uncle from the same village.]

[You obediently presented food to this impoverished old uncle, and the old man immediately smiled and praised you as a kind-hearted child. He curiously asked you why you didn't go with your parents. You made a few excuses, and the old man stopped asking. He just looked at you with pity and sighed, thinking that you were abandoned...]

[You have no interest in these things. After opening the conversation, you can’t wait to follow the strategy of “your other self” and ask your uncle about the information about the Heavenly Palace.]

[Although the old uncle didn't quite understand why a little kid like you would care about these things, he thought about it and tried his best to tell you what he knew...]

[“Heaven is a myth from ancient times… It is said that the first emperor of heaven was called Di Jun… Later, Di Jun was imprisoned by the treacherous minister Sun Star Lord. Fortunately, Jin Bing, a righteous man from the East China Sea, rescued him. To express his gratitude, Di Jun abdicated to Jin Bing and was named Jin Tiandi…”]

[You have been listening to these mythological stories from your parents since you were a child, so you are naturally very familiar with them. You know that the righteous Emperor Jin Tian defeated the evil Sun Star Lord and the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang, and finally became the new Emperor of Heaven.]

[You also know that Emperor Jin Tian treated all people equally and punished many corrupt officials. Emperor Jin Tian punished evil and promoted good, and was highly praised by the people...]

[“After ruling the country for many years, Emperor Jin gradually felt that his merits and virtues were complete, so he abdicated to Emperor Xuandu… The abdication of Emperors Dijun, Jinbing, and Xuandu became a legend…”]

[You have heard all this before. Your uncle didn’t say anything new. You only care about the strategy that your “other self” wrote for you, so you curiously asked, “What happened next?”]

[“Later…the Heaven Palace disappeared…”]

[The old uncle couldn't explain what happened. After all, he wasn't a big shot, and the Heavenly Palace had long been a mythical thing. People's knowledge of it was limited to some mythological stories.]

[It is hard to tell how it disappeared, when it disappeared, or even whether it ever existed...]

[Perhaps it perished tens of thousands of years ago, or perhaps tens of millions of years ago... In short, the myth is long gone, and now we are all mortals, with a lifetime of at most a hundred years. How can we have the ability to verify those illusory stories?]

[So, you left your old uncle disappointed and had to return to your dilapidated home alone. ]

[The clues are gone, and you haven't been able to find any key information...] [You have no choice but to decline this useless strategy and seek other assistance.]

[Ding! Facing the current predicament, you think it would be more practical to get some material assistance. What do you choose: (?)]

"Won't you get any valuable information by asking directly?"

Although it can be seen that the protagonist this time is a high-quality protagonist with some mental precocity, when faced with difficulties, he will also try his best to micro-manage and implement the player's strategy as much as possible.

But ultimately, material conditions limited his performance. In this reality where everything was lacking, even if he had an extraordinary mind, he still could not do anything.

This protagonist basically starts off in hell, being worse than Jin Bing and Jiao Ming. No matter how lucky Jin Bing is, he is still from a local family. No matter how miserable Jiao Ming is, he is still an ancient creature and has no lack of material foundation to start from, so the pace is very fast in the early stage.

But this mortal protagonist...

"Never mind, let's cultivate first!"

There was no need to hesitate at all, Zhao Si quickly decided on a way to start:
When you are undecided about anything, cultivate yourself first!
Since material conditions limit the protagonist's information collection, then strengthen the material conditions.

The best way to improve his material conditions is to let him cultivate immortality and get in touch with the circle of immortal cultivators as soon as possible. Once he enters the circle, it is equivalent to escaping the novice stage where he is completely in the dark. Only then can he collect more information...

So, Zhao Si directly took out the authentic magic book that Jin Bing gave him and put it on the screen.

[Ding! Assistance successful! ]

[A mysterious and profound immortal law inexplicably flooded into your mind. Although you could not read, you still magically understood its meaning.]

[Realizing that this is a fate that only exists in legends, you are immediately overwhelmed with excitement, and thank your "other self" for the fate, and even promise: a drop of water will be repaid with a spring of water! ]

[Then, you try to calm your mind and begin to practice cross-legged according to the immortal method...]

【On the first day, you get nothing. 】

[The next day, you still have nothing. ]

[On the third day, you still have nothing...]

[After three days of training, you haven’t even gained a hair, and you are in deep self-doubt...]

[Ding! You have again applied for assistance from "your other self". Please choose a gift that can solve your current problem. You choose: (?)]

Ok?
Zhao Si frowned a little:
"Three full days, but I can't even cultivate a little bit of magic power?"

The aptitude of the primitive human race cannot be so poor, right?
Although Zhao Si didn't expect this little brat to become an immortal by just practicing like the early humans, but as the destined protagonist of the human race, no matter how incompetent he was, it was impossible for him to practice hard for three days without any results!

"The only explanation is... the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Considering that the present prehistoric world is completely in the state of the Dharma Ending Age, the reason why the protagonist, who clearly possesses the qualifications of a human, cannot succeed in cultivating immortals can only be a problem of spiritual energy.

"The spiritual energy content in the Dharma Ending Age is too low, so it is impossible to cultivate immortality... This should be the reason."

After thinking about it, Zhao Si's eyes immediately locked on a gift:

The colorful bird comes from the great power of the saint!

After the fusion of the Sage's Dao Fruit and the power of the great wilderness, the spiritual energy-creating function that originally belonged to the Sage's Dao Fruit was retained, coupled with the powerful attack ability of the power of the great wilderness.

It can be said that this thing is Zhao Si’s most powerful gift at present. Coupled with the needs of this plot, Zhao Si can basically conclude that this is the "exclusive magic weapon" prepared by the game system for the protagonist of this round!
"Row!"

Zhao Si, who had figured it out, curled his lips:

"I've been told that this game has a degree of freedom, but every time I feel like it's predetermined..."

As he spoke, Zhao Si put the colorful bird on the screen:
[Ding! You chose "The Great Power from the Saint"! ]

[Ding! Assistance successful! ]

[A beautiful colorful energy bird appears out of thin air in front of you, and at the same time, you immediately know how to use it. ]

[You are overjoyed and immediately begin to absorb the innate spiritual energy and enter the state of cultivation again.]

[This time, your practice will go much more smoothly. With sufficient spiritual energy, your mana will continue to be generated...]

[But the good times didn’t last long. Just after you practiced for a while, you were awakened by a violent knock on the door! ]

[You were startled. Just when you thought the person who came was a bad guy, the door was suddenly forced open. A group of neighbors you were familiar with rushed in quickly and angrily pressed you to the ground with a confused look on your face! ]

[You are at a loss, and don't understand why everyone treats you like this? ]

[But you will soon find out...]

[“You vicious boy Xue! Tell me! Why did you poison the cake and kill your great-uncle?!”]
