Conferred God: High Priest of Yin and Shang Dynasties

Chapter 269 Endless Cycle

Baiyao and hundreds of guards rode on horseback. The ancient road was overgrown with weeds. Occasionally, the bones of starved people were piled up on the roadside.

The guards are all children of the Shang clan. Under the current uncertain situation, the royal family can be said to have sent out all the young men in the family for the safety of Da Zhu.

After all, more young men went to fight against Dongyi.

From the west, the Rong Di, who were no different from the savages, invaded from time to time, and the Zhou Dynasty as a barrier to the west had not yet been developed.

The situation in the world is not optimistic.

At this time, Baiyao still didn't understand the unparalleled power of human nature to the human world, and it was so terrifying that even the ancients were not allowed to pry into it.

But he was really doubting in his heart that Nuwa, who was in the same camp, should come to him first.

With various speculations in his mind, he followed the route in his memory and ran towards Nuwa Palace without stopping except for the necessary rest.

As the sun set, after many days of hurried walking, he finally arrived at Yinxu, the future capital of Great Shang.

At this time, Chaoge was still a deserted place.

However, it spans both sides of the Huan River, with abundant water and grass, and the vibrant scene can't help but make the tired people shine.

"Da Zhu, where is this?"

A young tribesman asked.

At this time, the Shang people had not been brainwashed by Da Zhu for six hundred years. They respected Da Zhu and feared the gods.

But not as crazy as before.

Baiyao washed his face and said:
"This is the place where great merchants will revive. The future king will move his capital here."

Everyone became excited when they heard it, but most of them were uneducated and could not understand ZTE. They could only tell from the tone of the big wish that it was a good word.

They exchanged words with each other, and even began to fight over where they would live in the future, and they did not hesitate to fight.

Baiyao was so noisy that his scalp went numb, so he simply picked two quiet people to follow him, and ordered to the rest:

"You guys camp where you are, I'm going to see the gods."

At the mention of the gods, all the young people shut their mouths.

The world is cruel and bloody, full of killing and insecurity. All natural and man-made disasters are controlled by ghosts and gods.

This is how the Shang people view the world.

They obeyed the order and divided their work. Some people set up camp and some went down to the river to catch fish.

Baiyao rode a horse and ran towards Nuwa Palace with two guards.

...

One day later, in the jungle.

Unable to find a place to wade across the Huan River, Baiyao had to ask a guard to lead the horse back, and he and another swam across where the water was not strong.

His cultivation level was less than one billionth, and his body was sealed into a mortal by an inexplicable force.

Baiyao became a grandson for the first time.

The moon was sparse, and he and his guards sat by the campfire to keep warm.

"Which branch are you from? What's your name?"

he asked the inherently silent guard.

The guard added some dry firewood and answered honestly:
"Da Zhu, I am from the dog-fish family. My ancestors contributed greatly to destroying the Xia Dynasty. I was given the surname Zi. My name is Xi."

Baiyao nodded slightly. The first nobleman he sacrificed after traveling through time was the leader of the Dog and Fish clan.

He was about to say some words of encouragement to draw cakes.

Suddenly he turned his head and looked deep into the jungle.

"come out."

His cold tone revealed a majesty that could not be resisted.

"rustle……"

The sound of skin scraping against trees and leaves was extremely harsh in the silent forest.

He pulled out the golden copper knife from his waist and stood in front of Bai Yao, alert.

Not long after, a figure suddenly rushed out!
Surrounded by animal skins, he is short and thin, with knotted hair.

He made his judgment in a split second.

"Bold Savage!!!"

He struck him in the head with a knife!

Unexpectedly, the figure that looked like he had very little flesh was very nimble and could dodge the slashing attack with just one roll.

And took the opportunity to roll over to Baiyao.

His heart was beating fast. If Da Zhu died here, the entire dog fish would be scratched alive by the Prime Minister!
However, Baiyao had already stood up and was about to raise his foot to kick the short and thin savage away.

A strange scene happened.

I saw the savage hugging his thigh, and his screams and cries echoed through the night sky:

"Big congratulations! It's me!!!"

Baiyao saw small black handprints all over his robe, and even though the short figure looked familiar, he still kicked it out.

Taking a closer look, he frowned and said:

"Golden boy?"

The name floated to Jintong's ears. He climbed up from the ground with difficulty, looked at the old man in front of him who was not wearing Jiutian Xuanniao robe with tears in his eyes, and shouted excitedly:

"I am the golden boy! I am the golden boy! Da Zhu is indeed you! I remember the look in your eyes even when you turn into ashes!"

Xi didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from raising his knife and giving the golden boy a hard blow.

Seeing that Baiyao didn't stop him, Jintong turned pale with fright and quickly begged for mercy:

"Big congratulations! It's really me! You know that golden boy! You even asked me to borrow a spiritual stone!"

After saying this, Baiyao confirmed Jintong's identity and raised his hand to stop Xi's attack.

"Are outsiders also involved?"

he asked intently.

Not only did he resurrect old friends in mythical time and space.

Nuwa also resurrected countless golden boys and girls in the Taisu Heaven she created outside the territory.

The golden boy cried till his nose burst into tears:

"What happened? I was practicing well, and suddenly I came here and recognized the human world, but Chao Ge was not there. My cultivation and body were completely sealed, and I was almost eaten by a savage..."

"After practicing for countless years, how unbecoming is it to cry like this!"

Baiyao frowned deeply. As the Supreme Humanity, it was normal for Nuwa to be involved in a catastrophe.

But since the golden boys have come in, doesn't it mean that the great tribulation has affected even outside the territory?

"Is Nuwa Palace still there?"

he asked.

Jintong wiped his tears, nodded and said:
"Yes! But it's occupied by savages!"

...

From the golden boy's mouth, Baiyao learned that Nuwa Palace was a ruin that had been abandoned for a long time.

Savages are either people in the deep mountains and forests who have been lucky enough not to be involved in clan wars for thousands of years.

Or they were the remaining clans that fled there during the war.

The total number of people was probably between twenty and thirty people. After the golden boy was caught by them, he managed to escape by virtue of his short stature and was not roasted and eaten half-cooked.

"Xie, you go back and tell them to leave twenty people to guard the horses, and the rest will cross the river with weapons."

After thinking about it, Baiyao decided to go and see for himself.

He hesitated, "Your safety..."

"It's okay, God is protecting me."

Baiyao said seriously to Xi.

After moving out of the gods, Ji had no choice but to obey orders.

He left quickly, hoping to come back as soon as possible.

Only Golden Boy and Baiyao were left by the campfire.

Baiyao asked him:

"How did you recognize me? Your perception must have been rewritten, just by your eyes? Can't I even fake my eyes?"

The golden boy stopped flattering, straightened his expression and said:

"Friendly feeling, the first time I saw you while I was hiding in the woods, I was sure that you were Da Zhu. This is probably because I am also a humane person."

Baiyao was stunned for a moment, feeling that this adjective seemed a bit inconsistent when applied to him.

Do human beings perceive each other?

Is this why I noticed the golden boy's gaze just now?

The golden boy's cultivation was completely sealed, and it was impossible to see his human destiny.

Only practitioners can sense the completely different power of human destiny.

"Jade Girl isn't here?"

Baiyao thought of the standard configuration of Nuwa Palace, the golden boy's good partner Jade Girl.

The golden boy shook his head sadly, "I didn't find her, maybe she was eaten by the savages."

Seeing his appearance, Baiyao wondered if even his thoughts were sealed?

After practicing in Taisutian for so many years, there is no need to participate in the plan against the prehistoric era.

Even if you have not attained Daluo, you should cut off all the seven emotions and six desires.

Without talking all night, the two of them waited until ten o'clock in the morning.

The entire convoy came across the river.

Under the guidance of the golden boy, everyone gripped their weapons and headed towards the Nuwa Palace.

The ensuing one-sided massacre of the savages took no more than a quarter of an hour.

Baiyao, whose clothes were not dirty, stood in front of Nuwa Palace and remained speechless for a long time.

The two jade pillars that once had dragons and phoenixes carved outside the palace turned into stone pillars and collapsed.

Vines and moss covered the steps, and the smell of decay hit your face.

Baiyao stepped over the savage's body and walked in.

Then I discovered that great changes had taken place in the palace.

There are no rare and rare herbs, and there is no auspiciousness from the fairy family.

Made of ordinary mud bricks, the stone walls were in disrepair and were filled with many cracks.

It was very damp in the hall, and a cold breeze came from nowhere, making people's scalp numb.

He walked slowly to the inner hall and saw that the platform that originally held the statue of Nuwa was empty.

And a filthy curtain like a shroud blocks the wall where the words were once written.

Baiyao pulled it off.

Then pieces of stone slabs with carved scenes appeared in front of them.

The first one.

It is a planet floating in the universe, and the map on it is extremely familiar.

The second picture.

It was a floating image on the planet, and Baiyao saw his inconspicuous self in the corner.

The third picture.

All the images in the floating life became blurred, and only Baiyao was left.

Touching the stone slab, he tried to understand its meaning.

The first picture represents the earth, the future that humanity hopes to achieve, and this future exists in an illusory form.

The second picture is of the creatures on the earth. They look slightly different, but in fact, both the expressions and the depth of the carvings are almost identical, which proves that these creatures are all human beings, and humanity will become sentient beings when it comes in the future.

In the third picture, Humanity realizes that Heaven is nurturing the mythical Daluo Daoguo, intends to change the future direction of the Great Chaos, and decides to materialize its future self to stop Heaven.

Baiyao knew his origins. Among the hundreds of millions of human beings, he was the only one who was successfully transformed into an entity and went to the prehistoric times.

Next, is the fourth picture.

The will of humanity is fully active, and it brings down the majestic destiny of humanity...

Become a person? !
Baiyao stared intently at the figure in the fourth picture, where the Shang people were bowing and worshiping!

It turned out to be myself? ! !
"pull out!"

He turned around and asked the guard who never left his side:

"How did I appear in this world!"

Confused.

Then he trembled and said:
"Da Zhu... Da Zhu is the guide given by heaven to the Shang clan..."

"Given?"

Baiyao frowned, pulled his hands to the fourth stone slab, pointed at the scene inside and asked:
"Is that so?"

Xiu opened his mouth slightly, then shook his head:
"I don't know. Grandpa only said that you are from heaven."

Baiyao took a deep breath, "You all get out, including Golden Boy."

He needed a quiet place to think.

Not long after, the guards dragged the golden boy who was crying for Nuwa Empress out of the hall.

Baiyao turned around and stared at the wall without saying a word.

Most of the classics left by the great blessings of the past dynasties record the methods of using the national fortune, as well as the major events that occurred during the reign of the Shang Dynasty, and what kind of sacrifices were held.

But the origin of Da Zhu was never mentioned.

I wish this position was a sign of humanity being fully active.

The first Da Zhu existed since the founding of the country and did not die until he sent Yi Yin to the temple.

Baiyao remembered a clue that he had ignored for a long time. That was the name of the first Da Zhu.

The first great wish has no name.

The big blessings that follow are all performed by members of the royal family, so they have names.

Combining the scenes in the four pictures and the words "coming from heaven" in his mouth, you can understand one thing.

The first great wish comes from the illusory future of humanity.

And only one person successfully materialized that illusory future.

Baiyao felt extremely weird when he touched the self that the luck had transformed into.

Am I the first Da Zhu?
The next slate is even more lifelike.

"He" destroyed the bronze clan, and together with Yi Yin pacified the world, and controlled the princes in all directions.

Then, he stripped off his true spirit, reincarnated him as a royal child, and trained him to become the second Da Zhu. After his death, the second Da Zhu took over, and his true spirit merged into one, but he lost the memory of being the first.

Strip away the secrets of the true spirit and begin to work on its own.

At a certain point in time, without knowing it, the second Da Zhu's true spirit separated on its own and reincarnated into the third Da Zhu.

The fourth, fifth...

It wasn't until the sixth term that something went wrong.

As the killing energy between heaven and earth dissipated, spiritual energy began to appear in the human world. The sixth great Zhu, who was burdened with the destiny of humanity, tried to practice, causing the secret method to become disordered and ineffective.

He could not find a successor, so before his death, he had to let Zique and Fuhao shoulder the national destiny together and preserve the national destiny system that had been finally established.

Fortunately, at the moment before his death, the secret method successfully adapted to the spiritual energy and evolved on its own.

The complete true spirit became the seventh Great Zhu, a genius who could control the destiny of the country as soon as he was born.

He began to use the practitioners to change DaShang, and used the glory and wealth in the world to attract those practitioners who had no future and could hardly make any progress in their practice.

However, he cannot avoid death.

At that time, he had already noticed that the power of the four major princes was growing day by day, and sooner or later they would threaten Chengtang Sheji.

As he aged, he, like the sixth, failed to find a successor.

Not even anyone who can forcibly carry the country's destiny has been found.

So he didn't know that there was a secret method in the true spirit. After thinking hard, he came up with a way.

——Strip off the true spirit and make yourself the eighth.

At this time, the national destiny, after hundreds of years of evolution, has been able to use methods comparable to immortal magic.

Relying on the talent of being able to carry the destiny of the country since birth, the seventh one successfully peeled off the true spirit and became the eighth great wish, Ziyao.

But the secret method he created did not allow the true spirits to become one.

Therefore, after the seventh generation died, the true spirit was preserved by humanity in the extremely mysterious realm of humanity.

When another true spirit medicine takes over Dashang, calamity has arisen between heaven and earth.

Baiyao already knew what was going to happen next.

Zi Yao found that he could not change the future no matter what.

When despair arises, the will of humanity appears.

Humanity, which could not interfere with reality at that time, took him to the deep realm to talk.

Baiyao once saw the same scene when he obtained the rules of Daluo Jinxian, but he couldn't see what was said.

See it now.

Humanity told Zi Yao that as long as he invades Tiandao and obtains the rules of Daluo Jinxian, everything can be changed.

After Ziyao left the deep realm of humanity, he began a new round of hunting.

This time, he gathered all the sacrifices, successfully built a bone altar, and invaded Heaven.

Later he was punished and saved by humanity.

The physical body was moved back to the ancestral temple by the tribe, while the true spirit was waiting on the bone altar with the rules of Daluo Jinxian.

Years later.

That other true spirit in the deep realm of human nature has become the new great wish, Baiyao.

The moment Baiyao obtained the original rules of Da Luo Jinxian, the secret method hidden in the true spirit made him and Zi Yao merge into one, thus becoming complete.

He guessed that if the secret method was created by him now, then even Hongjun Lai at that time would not be able to discover it at all.

Because at that time, the mythical Daluo Daoguo had not yet been born, and no one, including himself, could detect the secret method.

Later slates directly skipped the Great Tribulation of the Gods and came to the moment when the mythical Great Luo Daoguo was born.

Baiyao moved his steps and kept watching.

Invading the ancient world, voluntarily being sealed, transforming into Li Lu, giving birth to the concept of retrospection...

Came to the last stone slab.

——Outside the ruined Nuwa Palace, he stepped over the corpse of the savage and walked into the decaying hall.

At this point, everything has formed a closed loop.

Baiyao's breathing stagnated and he couldn't regain consciousness for a long time.

Suddenly, he grasped an extremely critical point.

The original rules of Daluo Jinxian!
Why did you let Zi Yao get it?

Since the birth of the mythical Daluo Dao Fruit, Baiyao's Daluo Dao Rules have also been evolved and upgraded by him, allowing him to more fully understand the meaning of eternity.

But the way of sacrifice was also forced to end due to the upgrade of Da Luo's rules.

Because if you use the rules in your hand to transform from Daluo to mythical Daluo, you can deduce the practice system of the way of sacrifice.

Then, a sacrificial cultivator who is equivalent to the mythical Da Luo is born, and the entire Great Chaos is not enough to sacrifice.

The span is too big, from sacrificing spiritual energy, to sacrificing the avenue, sacrificing heaven and earth, sacrificing time and space...

A breakthrough at every stage is the disappearance of a part of the great chaos.

In the end, the only person who is qualified to sacrifice one's body is oneself.

"Sacrificing your own body to your own body?"

Baiyao analyzed, if you practice the way of sacrifice and sacrifice yourself, what will you become?
After a while, he suddenly woke up! Look sideways!

An illusory figure that looked exactly like him appeared at some point.

The figure looked calm and spoke slowly:

"Your guess is correct. After the reality of humanity is sacrificed to itself, it will become the void of humanity, that is, me."

Baiyao looked at the long-lost humanity reappearing in front of his eyes, sighed and said:
"You are me, I am you, how many times has it been?"

Humanity replied:
"Infinite times, great chaos evolved the way of heaven, and the way of heaven evolved Hongjun. He combined with the way of heaven to prove the fruit of the Hunyuan Dao. It is like a trace back to the origin, and it is inevitable."

Baiyao lowered his eyebrows, "Can't it be stopped? Is it too late for us to look back?"

Humanity shook his head, "Retracing all time and space until the moment before everything was born can indeed allow the Myth Avenue to give birth to the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, but our retracement cannot erase the Great Chaos. Where the Great Chaos is, the Dao of Heaven is there, and Hongjun is there.

He and the way of heaven will achieve the fruit of Hunyuan Dao faster than us. This time is only an instant. "

Baiyao's heart felt like a big stone was blocked, "At that level, a moment is eternity. He who became Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian can make us dissipate with a snap of his fingers."

Humanity nodded, "Yes, fortunately we have mastered the method of sacrifice.

If it is too late, sacrifice the Great Chaos to yourself first. The disappearance of the Great Chaos is equivalent to destruction, and destruction will lead to rebirth. This is the reincarnation that it cannot escape, that is, the mechanism of destruction.

Then he sacrificed his body so that the illusory concepts and memories could be preserved in the destruction mechanism. "

Baiyao couldn't help but ask:
"At that time, we were the only things that existed. Can't we still break the cycle of reincarnation?"

Humanity said in a surprising way:
"After the destruction, we are the Great Chaos. The uncontrollable reincarnation will force us to bear the fate of giving birth to everything. Until Pangu opens the sky, we can use the preserved concept of retrospection to trace ourselves back, escape from the Great Chaos, and throw away The entity became empty from the light of Pangu’s axe.”

"So no matter whether you sacrifice yourself or not, it will all become empty in the end?"

"Well, if you don't look back on yourself, you will break away from the evolution of the great chaos and become human and empty. It's just that you have no memory in that reincarnation."

The voice of humanity is unusually decisive.

Baiyao's mood swings gradually became less intense. After pondering for a moment, he analyzed:
"Hongjun's fusion of the Heavenly Dao and the Hunyuan Dao Fruit is a trace back to the origin. Then after he attains the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, he will also become the Great Chaos and bear the fate of being conceived."

Humanity nodded, "Yes, in countless cycles, I have been desperate, no longer interfering with the direction of heaven, seeking eternal peace, that is, death."

But after Hongjun attained the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, everything happened again. The ax that created the world would give birth to space, and space would still materialize us, eventually forming a new space.

Whoever becomes Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian will become a part of the great chaos destruction mechanism, making everything repeat. "

A desperate fact emerged.

The cycle of great chaos cannot be changed.

That illusory future will eventually become illusory and will never come.

"No," Baiyao frowned, feeling strange, "We were also bred from the Great Chaos. Why would Hongjun be closer to the Great Chaos than us? Can he attain the Hunyuan Dao Fruit faster?"

"There is nothing in the first place, so where can we get dust?"

Humanity Youyou said:
"How can there be any will in such a thing as nothingness? Doesn't it mean that we are alienated from the great chaos, which means that we are not his biological children, but the dust caused by certain places."

"which places?"

Baiyao grasps the key points.

Humanity stared at him and finally stated the purpose of his appearance:

"I discovered that before the Great Chaos, there was a certain kind of reincarnation, which was constantly repeating destruction and rebirth just like the Great Chaos.

And one day, something happened, which finally broke the reincarnation and entered a new stage, great chaos.

We may be the ones who broke the cycle of reincarnation in the last era, so even if we are related to the Great Chaos, we are not as good as His biological son Tiandao. "

Humanity waved his hand and brought Baiyao to the boundless Taixu.

In the darkness, along with the voice of humanity, the scenery in my eyes also changed.

"In the experience of becoming great chaos again and again, I traced everything about Him and discovered various signs of the existence of the previous reincarnation."

"In the beginning, it was the Taiyi era, with no light, no image, and infinite emptiness. At the end of the period, the darkness was thick, which promoted the emergence of the singularity."

A point of light containing infinite mystery lit up in the darkness.

"The singularity evolved into the Qi machine, and in the primordial era, there was Qi but no form."

Points of light burst out, and something thin seemed to appear around them.

"Next, in the Taishi era, Qi Ji evolved into vitality, but this vitality was tangible and intangible."

Thin things become more dense, and when they reach the critical point, they change from mist-like things to strange but finally dispersed shapes.

"The last era is the Taisu era. Space appears, purity and turbidity create opposition, and living things evolve, taking form and quality."

Some ancient stars appeared all around, and the scattered mist shapes solidified into strange-looking creatures.

Some are as huge as mountains, with internal organs growing outside their bodies.

Some are just moving masses of carrion, completely dead but still alive.

Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu.

Baiyao said:

"The next era will be great chaos?"

Humanity said:

"That's right, it is an era when yin and yang will be separated, and the original order will be born. There is yang within yin, and yin within yang, which is the Tai Chi era.

When I became Great Chaos, through the number of reincarnations, I gradually discovered that He was evolved, and through tracing the evolution, I found signs of the existence of the above eras.

And the Taisu Era, which was in the fourth stage, collapsed countless times, everything was extinct, and returned to the Taiyi Era in the first stage.

This cycle is so obvious that it even creates a clear gap between the Great Chaos and the Taisu Era. The time it takes to evolve between the two is immeasurable, and is much more than the reincarnations that the Great Chaos has produced so far. "

Humanity continued:

"Perhaps we come from the previous reincarnation and have been preserved through evolution. We have a mechanism of destruction, so naturally we have a mechanism to break the reincarnation... Otherwise, how can we imagine an illusory future - the earth?"

Baiyao said calmly: "Having said so much, is there any chance to break the reincarnation?"

Humanity smiled:
"I can only show up at the end of the fight for the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, at the alternation of emptiness and reality, on the eve of the transformation between you and me.

And now you are Baiyao, and only you can break the reincarnation.

The opportunity was right in front of me. I pulled the endless time and space into the supreme catastrophe, and took advantage of the fusion of Hongjun and Tiandao to obtain the right to formulate the script of the catastrophe.

The script is just... there is no script. "

Perhaps because the two were the same person, Baiyao guessed what Humanity was going to say next:
"At the end of the Taisu era, something special happened, which caused it to break the cycle of reincarnation and evolve great chaos.

Today is the final stage of the fight for the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, that is, the end of the era of great chaos.

We also have to do something special to cause a change in the outcome. "

Humanity smiled and said:

"Yes, the fact that we can retain memories in continuous reincarnation is the strongest evidence that we are a 'forward' mechanism.

We have done special things in 17.31 million reincarnations and I have made a list for you of what we have done.

No need to waste time on these. "

A turtle shell was born from nothingness and fell into Baiyao's hands.

Wuyuan Taixu disappeared, and the two returned to Nuwa Palace.

Baiyao was about to ask where Nuwa had gone.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the turtle shell flickered.

[The direction of Nuwa cannot affect reincarnation]

It seems that he has done this before and searched for Nuwa.

"The dojo opened by Nuwa is called Taisutian. Is it related to the Taisu era?"

He asked anyway.

Humanity remained silent, and Turtle Shell answered in his heart:
[It is the evidence of the existence of the Taisu era. The evidence of the existence of any era is reflected in all aspects of the Great Chaos. It may be a dream talk of a living being, or it may be a dojo that was named after the inspiration.]

Humanity began to disappear, and he warned on his deathbed:
"I will warn you before Hongjun is about to attain the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. At that time, no matter what you do, you must stop and use the method of sacrifice to stop his progress.

He, the Dao of Heaven, has the same origin as the Great Chaos. According to my observation, if he becomes the Great Chaos, the time for the birth of the Mythical Great Luo Dao Fruit will only be shortened again and again, and the speed at which he will prove the Hunyuan Dao Fruit will become faster and faster, and he will be destroyed. The distance from the new life decreases until...the Great Chaos is destroyed as soon as it is born, causing the degradation to the Taisu era. "

Baiyao was the only one left in Nuwa's palace.

After watching all the stone slabs disappear along with the human path, he held the turtle shell and took a deep breath:

"No matter how many times it is repeated, the endless cycle of great chaos must be ended by me!"
