The Way of the Heavens

In the Heavenly Dao space, countless gorgeous and dazzling sacred lights flickered, and chains of rules as thick as a baby's arm loomed in the void. The lake water composed of drops of the origin of the world exuding a vast breath rippled slightly.

Suddenly, an invisible wave swept across the entire space, and a supreme will slowly awakened. The light emitted by the countless rule forces in the Heavenly Dao space became more dazzling, and an unrivaled aura enveloped the entire space.

"It's time."

A faint murmur sounded, and suddenly countless bright spots of light appeared from the chain of rules, the origin of the world, and the void, filling the Heavenly Dao space. Then those spots of light gathered together, and a human figure with a height of hundreds of feet and wearing a moon-white robe slowly appeared.

A throne of gods that was also hundreds of feet high emerged from the lake of the origin of the world, like a floating island, floating behind the figure.

Mu Yuan sat on the throne, the power of rules circulated on his body formed by the condensation of the origin, the wheel of heaven behind him was looming, and billions of divine radiances of the Dao rhyme shone and flickered, covering his face and making it unclear.

On the throne, there were carved pictures of all things, all spirits, and all races kneeling and worshipping, and there were inscriptions of rules and symbols all over, noble and majestic!

Mu Yuan lowered his head, his indifferent and majestic eyes penetrated the space, looking at the Yuanjie continent, looking down at all living things.

"In the blink of an eye, I have been asleep for a thousand years, it's really just a snap of a finger."

Ever since Mu Yuan saw the creatures of all races multiplying and began to explore and open up new territories, his main consciousness fell into a deep sleep, leaving only a trace of consciousness to maintain the world's instinctive development.

This trace of consciousness was created by him as a heavenly brain-like existence, managing the world according to instinctive procedures. Only when there is a major change that can affect the entire Yuanjie, this heavenly brain will wake up Mu Yuan at the first time.

Of course, in the past thousand years, nothing happened in the Yuanjie that could wake up Mu Yuan. Even the war between the orcs and tribes that took place in the northwest hundreds of years ago was nothing more than a small fight between ants in Mu Yuan's view. It was the inevitable process of civilization development and could not wake him up from his slumber.

As for why Mu Yuan woke up from his slumber at this time, it was because it was time to start his plan.

"Hey, interesting."

Suddenly, Mu Yuan's eyes were attracted by the world tree rooted in the void. After thousands of years, the world tree grew into a towering tree hundreds of feet high, as if it was going to penetrate the space of the heavenly way.

The crystal clear leaves swayed slightly, flashing streams of divine light from time to time, and the thick roots penetrated the void, absorbing the air of nothingness from the boundless nothingness.

Of course, what really attracted Mu Yuan's attention was, "I didn't expect that the world tree was about to give birth to consciousness."

Mu Yuan looked at the world tree with interest, ignoring the body of the world tree, and fell on a ball of chaotic gas in its body.

A trace of spiritual light flickered above this chaotic gas, as if it was about to give birth to spiritual intelligence in the next moment.

Ta-da-da.

Mu Yuan's slender fingers tapped the armrest of the throne, and his consciousness moved. He immediately knew the reason why the world tree was about to give birth to consciousness, because of the power of faith and the will of all living beings!

Originally, as a chaotic spiritual root, it would take at least tens of thousands of years or even longer for the world tree to give birth to independent consciousness.

However, the belief, worship, and awe of the various races in the Yuanjie for the gods or the way of heaven have generated a huge amount of faith power for a thousand years, which has gathered in the space of the way of heaven.

Originally, these powers of faith belonged to Mu Yuan, but Mu Yuan, as the way of heaven in a world, naturally looked down on the power of faith of all living beings, so he let it gather in the space of the way of heaven and did not deal with the power of faith.

Later, as Mu Yuan fell asleep, the way of heaven only managed the world according to instinct, and did not stop the world tree from instinctively absorbing the power of faith. Therefore, under the promotion and promotion of the power of faith, the world tree began to give birth to independent consciousness and soul.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuan did not hesitate at all. He stretched out his right hand, crossed the space, and easily extracted the chaotic-colored World Tree consciousness from its body.

The World Tree plays a very important role in the growth of a world. Mu Yuan could not let it give birth to an independent consciousness. Once the World Tree has an independent consciousness and has the idea of ​​escaping from Mu Yuan's control, it will be a trouble.

Although Mu Yuan is confident that he can easily suppress such trouble, he can solve it from the source now, so he naturally does not want to wait until the day when the trouble breaks out.

The consciousness of the Heavenly Dao flows into the air mass in his hand, and a trace of Mu Yuan's consciousness replaces the spiritual consciousness that is about to be born in the World Tree, and then puts it back into the body of the World Tree.

From this moment on, the World Tree becomes an incarnation of Mu Yuan and will never betray him.

Mu Yuan's eyes once again turned to the lower world. After thousands of years of expansion, the land area of ​​the Yuanjie continent has increased to nearly 400 million square kilometers, and the ocean has also expanded several times. On the vast land, creatures of all races either struggle to survive in a humble way, or control the life and death of a city and control the country...

"It's time for the new era to begin..."

...

Tianyuan Valley, the simple thatched houses that once covered the valley have long disappeared. Only a dozen tall Haotian Temples built of granite stand here. Various words, symbols and murals are written on the temples. These are special words for worshiping and praising Haotian, and the murals are various myths and legends that have been circulated among humans for thousands of years.

Ten miles away from the valley, there is a city with a wall three feet high and built of solid rock. In this era, this city is also a first-class city.

On the city gate, there are three human characters for "Tianyuan City". Walking into Tianyuan City from the city gate, you can see that the streets in the city are wide enough to accommodate dozens of people walking shoulder to shoulder, and thatched houses and stone houses stand on both sides of the street.

There is a market in the depths, where people come and go, exchanging trade with each other, or bartering, or trading with special currencies circulated in various human city-states, a prosperous scene.

Outside the city, there are thousands of acres of fertile fields, and farmers work hard under the scorching sun, sweating like rain.

The new high priest of the human race, "Gu", stood at the gate of the Haotian Temple in Tianyuan City, looking at this peaceful and prosperous scene, touching his long white beard, and his heart was full of satisfaction.

"Gu" looked towards the distant west. Although it was tens of thousands of miles away from Tongtian Mountain, the huge mountain that reached the sky could still be seen in the distance in Tianyuan City.

That was a sacred mountain, a holy mountain. Legend has it that it was where Haotian, the creator of the human race, lived. For a thousand years, there have been devout people going to Tongtian Mountain, hoping to see Haotian and achieve immortality.

But for a thousand years, no one had ever heard of anyone actually seeing Haotian, or even whether anyone had climbed Tongtian Mountain.

Suddenly, "Gu" saw a huge golden beam of light appear in the sky, descending from the sky, penetrating the sky and the earth, covering the entire Tongtian Mountain, mysterious and endless runes flowing, and the vast and boundless Tao rhyme emanating. This scene instantly shocked billions of creatures in the Yuanjie.

But it was not over yet. Endless purple clouds appeared in the eastern sky, heading towards the Metaverse continent. Lotus flowers bloomed in the void for billions of miles, emitting a faint fragrance. The sacred Dao sound hymns resounded throughout the Metaverse, shocking all spirits. The long-fallen Taiyin and the Sun appeared together, and the sky was full of stars.

Purple clouds came from the east, lotus flowers bloomed in the void, Dao sounded, the sun and the moon shone together, and all the stars twinkled!

Countless creatures in the Metaverse looked up at this shocking scene, whether they were human, orc, or other intelligent races; whether they were hunting and farming, or fighting and killing, all creatures knelt down in awe and kowtowed to the sky.

Gu's face was covered with tears. He knelt on the ground devoutly, his voice trembling, "A miracle! Haotian has descended!"

"The beast god has descended!"

"The god of nature..."

"My Lord..."

……………

In the Heavenly Dao Space, Mu Yuan sat on the throne, the Heavenly Dao Wheel behind him shone with endless brilliance, his majesty shocked the world, his eyes were full of indifference and rationality, looking down at all living things, in his eyes, all things and spirits could not make his heart waver.

"It's time, the fire of civilization of all races is already burning, now is the time for the spiritual energy to descend, the era of cultivation is officially opened!"

Buzz!

As the words fell, the origin of the world accumulated in the origin space for thousands of years instantly turned into endless innate spiritual energy, and then from the innate spiritual energy into acquired spiritual energy! Then it spread to the whole world from the beam that penetrated the heaven and earth.

The origin of the world belongs to the second level of energy in Mu Yuan's classification. Chaos Qi, Hongmeng Purple Qi, etc. are also at this level. At most, the origin of the world is slightly lower, but they are all second only to the Qi of Nothingness!

Innate spiritual energy is the third level of energy, and the same level includes fairy energy, divine power, etc., while acquired spiritual energy is the fourth level. Therefore, the acquired spiritual energy transformed from a drop of the origin of the world can be said to be overwhelming. Hundreds of drops of the origin instantly turned into spiritual energy and enveloped the entire metaverse!

The rich spiritual energy immediately filled the whole world. Before the various races were shocked by the gods and the miracles were sent down, they suddenly felt that the whole world had changed. Their physical fitness also became better and healthier because of the automatic influx of spiritual energy.

The kneeling high priest "Gu" felt the increased strength in his body, which was stronger as if he was ten years younger, and his eyes were full of fanatical worship: "Is this the power of Haotian? He can make people's bodies return to their youth. He is worthy of being the creator of all things, Haotian!"

The rich spiritual energy changes everything in the world. After absorbing the spiritual energy, the forest grows faster and the branches and leaves become more luxuriant. After absorbing the spiritual energy, the beasts become more powerful and their bodies become larger.

Deep in the earth, under the interference of the Tiandao Intelligent Brain, the vast amount of spiritual energy gathers to form spiritual veins, which are scattered all over the world; the spiritual energy also merges with various mineral veins underground to form spiritual mineral veins; and combines with medicinal materials, exotic flowers and herbs to form spiritual medicines.

At the same time, the power of rules flows into various dangerous places in the world, and these originally dangerous areas become more dangerous, turning into death restricted areas that scare people. For example, the temperature of the Arctic Ice Abyss, which is covered with snow and ice all year round, drops again, and some creatures with poor cold resistance are instantly frozen into ice cubes, and no longer have vitality.

Mu Yuan looked at the ever-changing Yuanjie and nodded, "The cultivation era, the high-level martial arts world, has finally taken the first step."
