By the time Zhu Gaoxu had dealt with the Fiery Red Dragon, he had already reached the old man.

The old man calmly raised his foot and stood on the water, his posture like an independent white crane, elegant and calm.

Wow!

Then the old man kicked forward with a light and powerful movement.

Zhu Gaoxu was horrified and couldn't avoid it at all.

It was not until then that the entire lake began to splash with huge water like a giant beast that had been awakened, and the sound of water resounded through the heavens and earth.

Boom boom!

After being kicked by the old man, Zhu Gaoxu flew into the sky like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily on the ship.

With a loud bang, the entire ship seemed to have suffered a huge impact and began to shake violently.

The soldiers on the ship were stunned by this sudden change, as if they had witnessed an impossible miracle.

The King of Han, who seemed like a living overlord, was easily defeated by an old man!

Not to mention these soldiers, even Huo Xia opened his eyes wide.

Liliana gasped and exclaimed, "How could this be? This prince's Qigong has been cultivated to a level that is no less than that of Mr. Paul and Teacher Saint Raphael, but he was defeated like this..."

Fu Shihua's pupils suddenly changed and turned into a pair of snake eyes.

"Oh~"

Athena exclaimed, "I have seen many transcendents who have transcended fate with wisdom and reached the realm of immortality, but this is the first time I have seen someone who has practiced qigong and martial arts to this level."

Hearing this, Li Yunai was surprised and said, "Broken Void! I thought it was just a legend, but there are actually people who have practiced Qigong to the level of Broken Void!"

Huo Xia blinked, recalling the common sense of this supernatural world.

qigong.

A supernatural martial art that is common in this world.

In ancient China, practitioners of qigong were called "qigong practitioners" and practitioners of magic were called "alchemists".

Whether in World No. 235 or World No. 492, there are many people who are good at Qigong.

but.

Qigong practice relies too much on the physical body, making it difficult to achieve immortality, let alone transcend fate.

Even though Qi (mantra power) can delay aging, it also has its limits. As Qi and blood decline, even the strongest Qi cultivator will lose his Qi and eventually die.

Only warriors who have broken through the void can avoid such a fate.

Athena said calmly: "Even if the power of the spell is strong enough to escape fate, it cannot resist the torrent of fate of all living beings, and cannot resist the power of history to correct it."

"So, we have no choice but to leave the earth."

"If there is a ghost world in this world, then I will transform into a spirit body and live in seclusion in the ghost world."

"If the Netherworld does not exist, then we will go to another world and live there."

"In China, this state is called 'ascension', in Japan it seems to be called 'becoming a Buddha', and in the West it is called 'becoming a saint'."

"This man is a being that can ascend to heaven in the flesh."

Huo Xia also looked at the old man under the archway with a serious look.

There is a ghost world in world No. 235, but there is no ghost world in world No. 492.

Or.

What was supposed to be the netherworld was turned into an endless desert by Zalwan.

Li Yunai murmured, "But Qigong has its limits after all. How come this old man doesn't disperse his Qigong?"

Athena stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at the old man's left eye.

I saw that the old man’s left eye looked like obsidian.

It should be stone, but it gives people a feeling of living flesh and blood, as if looking at the eyeballs of stone.

There is an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Seeing this, Zheng He was horrified and shouted, "Stone Eyes! He is Zhang Dingbian, a former subordinate of Chen Youliang!"

The old man raised his head slightly when he heard this.

"I didn't expect that someone would know my name. Subjects of the King of Wu, why are you here?"

The old man admitted it nonchalantly.

He was the greatest military general in the late Yuan Dynasty—Zhang Dingbian.

In the early Ming Dynasty of World No. 492, an era when supernatural powers were rampant, Zhu Yuanzhang had many powerful psychics under his command, such as Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Liu Bowen, and Zen Master Wukong.

but.

All of them pale in comparison to one man.

That is Zhang Dingbian.

Don’t say that the stone man has only one eye. Once this thing appears, the whole world will rebel.

The stone man's eye that caused chaos in the world was in Zhang Dingbian's left eye!

Chapter 59: Destined

Don’t say that the stone man has only one eye, he will stir up the whole world to rebel against the Yellow River.

According to legend, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River burst its banks, and the people at that time dug out a stone man in the river. The stone man brought with him countless astonishing martial arts, which enabled people to be blessed with divine powers and triggered a great uprising.

The Red Turban Army, blessed with divine power, was unstoppable in their fierce battle with the Yuan Dynasty army, which ultimately led to a significant reduction in the power of the martial arts world.

Wudang Mountain, Yuan Court, Han Junhou, Confucian Academy...

Many martial arts forces were unable to recover after this great war, and coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang's suppression, the power of the Central Plains martial arts eventually plummeted.

Throughout the whole process, Zhang Dingbian was also extremely outstanding.

Legend has it that after his defeat, he took away the one-eyed stone man who had stirred up the world and disappeared.

just now.

Huo Xia and others met the legendary warrior.

The left eye of this withered old man is no longer a flesh and blood eyeball, but a stone eye.

Athena pointed at Zhang Dingbian's eyeball and said slowly: "That stone man's eye is Zalwan's eyeball."

Hearing this, Huo Xia and others remembered Zalwan's appearance.

It was a stone lion mask almost two meters tall, with empty eyes and a snake on each side.

Hearing Athena's words at this time, could it be that the one-eyed stone man who caused chaos in the world was the eye in Zalwan's empty eye socket?

"You have bright eyes, I admire you." Zhang Dingbian nodded slightly, "This eye of mine is the dark pupil of the Great Ming Lord. It is this eye that aroused the dark elements in the people of the world, causing chaos in the world and making people suffer. It also caused the King of Wu to fall into madness in his later years and start a killing spree."

Huo Xia was puzzled: "Dark Elements, what is that?"

Liliana explained: "Zarwan is the supreme god of Muniism and the prototype of the only God. He is also the father of darkness and light."

"Municipality absorbed a great deal of Gnosticism."

"In the mythology of Muniism, the world was originally divided into the world of light and the world of darkness. Both worlds were created by Zalwan, and he has no bias."

"The Kingdom of Light occupies the north, east, and west, while the Kingdom of Darkness occupies the south."

"The bright virtues are love, faith, loyalty, integrity, wisdom, patience, intelligence, understanding, secret, and insight; the dark virtues are stupidity, lust, self-praise, disturbance of others, anger, impurity, destruction, dissolution, death, and deception."

"In the middle, darkness invades the kingdom of light and becomes mingled with it."

"Zarwan, the Lord of the Kingdom of Light, first summoned the Mother of Life, who in turn summoned Hormozd to fight against the invading dark demons."

"Hormozd summoned the Five Bright Ones as armor and weapons, but was still defeated by the Dark Demon and was imprisoned in the Dark Cave."

"Zarwan summoned Mehr Ezed and other envoys for the second time, and the latter summoned his five sons to help. Only then did they rescue Hormozd and stop the invasion of the dark demons."

"Mehr Ezed used the rescued light molecules to create the sun and moon, used the polluted light molecules to create the stars, and used the corpses of the dark demons to create the sky, the earth, the mountains, etc., and let his five sons take charge of them."

"Zarwan summoned Rushan Shahr Ezed for the third time to rescue the Light Elements imprisoned by the Dark Demon, and returned to the New Paradise via the Moon Palace and the Sun Palace, and finally returned to the Kingdom of Light."

“This myth has evolved many times during the spread of Muniism.”

“It absorbs Abrahamic mythology, monotheistic mythology, Gnostic mythology, and Buddhist mythology, and its inner self is constantly changing.”

"Zarwan also changed from being a god who intervened in the struggle between light and darkness to gradually becoming detached and rarely taking action. In the later period, even the creation of the world became Hormozd's job."

"In other words, Zalwan gradually became a 'concept'."

At this point, Liliana paused, thought for a moment, and said, "According to the culture of the king, Damingzun has gradually changed from a god to a concept like 'Heavenly Way' and 'Taishang'."

Athena raised the corner of her mouth and said with interest: "Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things."

"In the beginning, light and darkness were 'two', and Zalwan was 'one'."

"But as the mythology changed, Zalwan gradually changed from 'one' to 'Tao'."

Huo Xia frowned slightly and asked, "Light molecules and dark molecules are everything that makes up the world, and the two are mixed up and can only be separated at the end of the world... What you mean is that the Stone Man's Eye can arouse the dark molecules of humans."

Light is good, darkness is evil.

The bright molecules are "good thoughts".

The dark elements are "evil thoughts".

The eyes of the stone man can arouse people's evil thoughts.

This is how Huo Xia understood it.

But Athena said: "The eyes of the stone man only block the light and make humans remember the darkness."

What does this mean?

Huo Xia was puzzled.

Liliana explained: "King, in the mythology of Muniism, humans were not created by the good god of light, but by the evil god of darkness. The essence of humans is imperfect and evil in nature."

This is the iconic core of Gnostic mythology.

That is, the God who created human beings is not a good God, but an evil God. Human beings need a savior from a more perfect world to come to this imperfect world to guide human beings, transform human beings, and save human beings.

"Yes, human nature is evil." Zhang Dingbian sighed, raised his head and looked at the building ship, "The Great Ming Zun is the will of heaven. He already knows the fate of everyone."

“Everyone just goes with the flow.”

"If anyone attempts to go against the will of Heaven, the Great Bright Lord will take back the light element bestowed by Him, and let that person be occupied by the dark element. Many good virtues such as love, faith, loyalty, and completeness will disappear, and only many evil virtues such as disturbing others, anger, impurity, and destruction will remain."

Zhang Dingbian looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was struggling to get up, and his voice was filled with vicissitudes of life.

"Grandson of King Wu, you should know this situation. Good thoughts disappear and only evil thoughts remain."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this, and thought of his grandfather who became more and more insane in his later years. He started as the Hongwu Emperor, a man of great talent and strategy who rose from a commoner to a man with Alzheimer's disease who killed many people just to save his grandson's throne.

Zhang Dingbian said leisurely: "In the past, the King of Wu boasted that 'I am a commoner in the right of the Huai River, what can the world do for me', but Liu Bowen told him that his transformation from a beggar to an emperor was also God's will, it was just destined."

"The King of Wu naturally refused to accept this, thinking that he had conquered the world with his own sword and spear, and it was not some kind of divine intervention."

"pity."

"That's the truth!"

Huo Xia nodded slightly, not feeling surprised at all. This is how history is, it has been predetermined.

Zhang Dingbian continued: "Liu Bowen also told the King of Wu that the Mandate of Heaven was with the King of Yan, and asked him to pass the throne directly to the King of Yan to save the people of the world from suffering."

"The King of Wu doesn't believe it."

"He wants to pass the throne to his eldest son. When the eldest son dies, he will pass the throne to his grandson."

"The King of Wu wants to rebel against God's will."
