Chapter 219: Five Domains Unified, New Discoveries
"Did Lao Bing really crash?"
This text from Xuandu made Zhao Si, who was peeking at the screen, stunned for a long time:
Although this third chapter begins at the end of the Dharma Age, with the Six Saints disappearing, the Heavenly Palace no longer existing, and even the entire racial structure of the prehistoric world undergoing drastic changes, all the evidence indicates that the fate of the genuine Lao Bing is unlikely to be optimistic.
However, when the above speculation was confirmed by the evidence in black and white, Zhao Si still felt a sense of loss and found it difficult to accept:
"Imprisoned under Mount Buzhou... the same treatment as Monkey King, but he was sentenced for causing havoc in Heaven. What did you do?"
Zhao Si couldn't help but turn to the historical information in the first chapter, trying to find the reason why Jin Bing crashed...
Soon, a description caught his attention:
When Jin Bing attempted to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi in order to become a saint, Daozu intervened and returned the Purple Qi, which was already within his reach, to Hongyun.
At that time, Zhao Si didn't quite understand why this happened, but later he thought that the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao were bound together, and the noble affairs of the human race were also determined by the Heavenly Dao.
Jin Bing's stance has always been against racial supremacy. The reason why he tried every means to become the Emperor of Heaven and created reincarnation was to balance the noble nature of the human race.
Even when Jin Bing was beheading Emperor Jiang, in order to express his lofty political ideals to Emperor Jiang, he clearly shouted: "Heaven is wrong!"
It is obvious that he wants to rush into the Zixiao Palace and smash the dog head of heaven after becoming a saint!
So under such circumstances, Daozu would certainly not allow him to become a saint...
However, can Jin Bing’s ideals be limited by his cultivation level?
Even if he cannot become a saint, he will definitely try to solve the problems at the level of the Heavenly Dao, and this solution will of course conflict with the Taoist Ancestor.
When someone below the level of a saint challenges the Way of Heaven, all we can say is: they will win...
So theoretically speaking, the only possible reason why Jin Bing was sentenced and imprisoned should be that he offended the Way of Heaven.
Zhao Si analyzed it and asked in confusion:
"System, didn't you say before that Jin Bing's victory in the first chapter would result in the perfect ending of eternal chaos? And as the protagonist of the game, Jin Bing can also be immortal... How come the future will become the Dharma Ending Age? Even Jin Bing is gone?"
[This system does not tell lies. The eternal wilderness is naturally the eternal wilderness, and Jin Bing will not die. ]
"Then this..."
[No comment, please continue exploring. ]
"……Row."
Zhao Si rolled his eyes after his inquiry proved fruitless and could only continue playing the game.
However, you can also get a piece of information from the system:
"If what the system says is true, then Jin Bing is indeed not dead, and the Eternal Primordial Wasteland is indeed still the Eternal Primordial Wasteland... But how do we explain the Dharma Ending Age?"
Could it be that... this Dharma-Ending Age is not the real primitive age?
The more Zhao Si thought about it, the more confused he became...
[After receiving the handwritten message from the ancient emperor Xuandu, you can't help but feel excited! But the shocking things revealed in it make you deeply puzzled.]
[“Emperor Jin Tian was imprisoned at the foot of Mount Buzhou because he had angered the Heavenly Dao… Daozu issued a deadline… Xuandu, under the order of Saint Taiqing, asked Minghe to rescue Jin Bing… Minghe agreed to rescue him, but put forward a few conditions…”]
[You spent a long time trying to figure out what the above was talking about. After all, you are a mortal who was born in the Dharma Ending Age. Your knowledge of the ancient heaven is all from myths and legends, and you know nothing about the actual details.]
[You don’t know how Emperor Jin Tian would offend Heavenly Dao, nor do you know what the so-called “deadline” means… The only thing you can understand a little about is the matter of the Styx, because the sanctified Styx is now floating in the starry sky and facing Hongjun Heavenly Dao.]
[In other words, the reason why Taiqing asked Xuandu to seek help from Minghe was because he knew that Minghe would become a saint in the future, and that his ability and reputation as a saint were greater than Taiqing's, and he could rescue the sinners punished by the Heavenly Dao. Taiqing couldn't do it, but he could...]
[From this point of view, your understanding of the strength of the Styx is still too low... But how can he be so strong? An old-fashioned innate saint who is not outstanding, whose ability may not be as good as the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, how can he become a saint? Why is he so powerful after becoming a saint? ]
[You really can't figure it out. ]
[With such confusion, you continue to search in this heavenly palace, trying to find other useful information.]
[But you are disappointed. There is nothing in this hall. There is no information left intentionally, nor any information left accidentally, and there are not even any extra objects... The whole hall is empty, just like an oversized simple wooden house. Apart from the tables and chairs left intentionally and the diary, there is nothing useful...]
[To be honest, you are very suspicious of this obviously deliberate message: there is nothing else, just a diary with vague words, which is problematic at first glance... Its source and purpose are both very suspicious.]
[“Please save me, Styx…”]
[Jin Bing also read the message left by Xuan Du. He frowned, as if he remembered something... but he didn't remember it after all. He just had a vague feeling: he seemed to have been imprisoned somewhere...]
[His reaction makes you inexplicably surprised: Could it be... is this really a genuine Jin Bing? That's not right, you checked, his body is not from the dragon race, but from the human race, so it can't be genuine! ]
[Except for him, you have verified that Di Jun, Xuan Du, Guang Cheng Zi and the like are all human beings like you. They are all pirated copies...]
[“I think the answer should be under Mount Buzhou.”]
[Jin Bing, who has pondered fruitlessly, seriously suggests to you: To find out what happened, you must make full use of the available information. Since Buzhou Mountain appears in the information, why not actually go there?]
[Buzhou Mountain?] [You are a little hesitant, for no other reason than that you died in the scam of the "Immortal Realm" in your previous life. If there is a problem with the "Immortal Realm", then there must be a problem with Buzhou Mountain as well. It must be full of the calculations of the Styx. If you are not careful, you will die!]
[But after thinking it over, you decided to give it a try. You finally found some useful clues, so of course you can't give up easily...]
[However, there is no need to rush this. ]
[Of course we have to go to Mount Buzhou, but let’s wait until we have pacified the five regions of the prehistoric world. We can go step by step. We have survived dozens of epochs, so we don’t need to waste a little more time...]
【…】
[In the 42nd year of the human calendar, the 9th year of the 44th cycle, the two great heavens united and were called the "Golden and Mysterious Heaven". The two emperors, Jin and Xuan, were both respected, and their capital was located in Shouyang Mountain. Based on the feudal system, they established effective rule over the four regions of the prehistoric world.]
【The Four Wilds are in great order, ordinary people become civilians, and monks become officials, and the two gradually adapt to each other.】
[But the Four Wildernesses have been destroyed, and the Heavenly Court officials' thirst for spiritual energy is far from being satisfied: the conquered territory is too large, so the number of officials that the Heavenly Court must maintain is naturally indispensable.]
[In order to pay salaries, the spiritual energy stored in the national treasury had to be distributed continuously, but the Heavenly Court had no income, so it became a deadlock of eating up all the resources...]
[The celestial officials had fought plundering wars for dozens of epochs, and the plundering spirit in their hearts had long been a habit. Seeing that the income of the heavenly court was insufficient, they volunteered to fight.]
[Who is the target of the attack? ]
[Answer: Zhongzhou! ]
[Although Zhongzhou is a utopia under the symbiotic model, and both mortals and monks are very satisfied and happy, but... it is also inevitable to be included in the list of conquests of the Heavenly Court, because it is the only target left in the world that can be attacked. ]
[For the sake of spiritual energy and the unification of the wild, this battle must be fought! ]
[However, knowledgeable people in the court also expressed their concerns: the demand for spiritual energy is a bottomless pit, but the world has its limits. With this demand, even if we defeat Zhongzhou, how many years can we last? ]
[So they put forward their own opinions: Some people think that Zhongzhou cannot be unified, but should be used to develop "animal husbandry" here, and Zhongzhou should be listed as a breeding farm, and the monks there should be raised like pigs, slaughtering a batch regularly, and then raising the next batch...]
[Some people believe that Zhongzhou can be unified and the Zhongzhou model can be copied. The war of unification has been fought, and the next step is to change the war machines back to tractors, put the swords and guns into storage, and let the horses go to the mountains. The Heavenly Court needs to use the Zhongzhou model to establish a peaceful world...]
[Some people also think that the Blood Sea's Spirit Stone industry should be restarted, and Spirit Stones should be distributed as salaries. With the regeneration rate of the Blood Sea's Spirit Stones, it is enough to supply the expenses of the Heavenly Court...]
[Everyone's suggestions are useful, but... you don't want to agree with any of them. ]
[The purpose of your establishment of the Heavenly Court is to end the sin of cannibalism, not to re-establish a "legal" cannibalism system. In addition, immortality is not a necessity for the world, so of course you will not agree to this.]
[“The immortal path needs a dignified end of destruction!”]
[You have made up your mind, so you and Jin Bing jointly issued an order: Attack Zhongzhou! Unify the five regions! This is the last battle against the old era! ]
[An imperial decree was issued, and all the Four Wastelands were to prepare for war, and follow the strategy of the Equal Heaven Court to attack Zhongzhou in the past, and surround Zhongzhou from all sides, in order to restore Mount Buzhou! ]
[In the 43rd year of the human calendar, the 8th year of the 9th cycle, the Jinxuan Heavenly Court issued an attack order, and the Four Wastelands surrounded Zhongzhou. However, considering the special situation of the cultivators in Zhongzhou, they should not be slaughtered at will, and should focus on persuading them to surrender.]
[There has been no war in Zhongzhou for a long time, and the mortals are enjoying themselves endlessly, and the monks are also enjoying themselves, what a peaceful and tranquil scene. ]
[Suddenly encountering a war of this magnitude, the monks panicked and had no idea how to resist! ]
[When the fierce and wolf-like armies of Heaven arrive, they often fight for only a few rounds. Knowing they are no match for the enemy, the Zhongzhou Cave Heavenly Beings decisively kneel down and surrender. This makes the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who are eager to make achievements very angry, and they curse them as "Hundreds of millions of Cave Heavenly Beings take off their armor, but not a single one of them is a man!"]
[However, now that things have come to this, the heavenly soldiers can only accept it...]
[After Zhongzhou learned that the "Golden Mysterious Heavenly Court" had been established and would unify the prehistoric world, the most powerful cave gods hurriedly took the teleportation array and held an emergency meeting at the foot of Mount Buzhou to discuss countermeasures.]
[The result of the discussion came out quickly: "The enemy and our forces are completely on different levels. Resistance will only lead to more casualties and is meaningless."]
[So, kneel down...]
[It is luck. Hundreds of billions of caves in Zhongzhou have reached an agreement and sent representatives to the border of the Eastern Wasteland to submit a letter of unconditional surrender to the Heavenly Court! ]
[When the news reached Shouyang Mountain, the court was in a state of confusion, cursing inwardly: "What are you doing, you little softies who grew up in honey pots? If you do, where will we find spiritual energy?"]
[But no matter how everyone cursed in secret, they could only report the good news to the two Heavenly Emperors: Zhongzhou was pacified, and the five regions were unified! ]
[However, your attention is not on the court and the war now. You and the pirated ancients are just looking at each other in bewilderment. Looking at the things just dug up from the foot of Shouyang Mountain, you begin to doubt your life...]
