Meng Xiang immediately put away the Haotian Mirror. Although this powerful magic weapon could not be used for the time being, with this mirror, he could restrain the gene-locked strongmen in the king battle. Meng Xiang had more confidence in winning the king battle and suppressing all the reincarnations.
"Meng Xiang," Bai Mei put away his smile and said seriously, "You will have a decision in the future, which will determine the success or failure of the reincarnation. Although I cannot penetrate into the more detailed future, your decision will be a turning point."
"What decision?" Meng Xiang had heard Xuantian Sect mention this matter before, and couldn't help but feel curious, so he asked anxiously.
"I don't know much, but this decision is about your life and death. You are very strong, and you will be stronger in the future, and you may even have a chance to surpass Haotian. However, don't forget your identity and your purpose. There is no obvious gap between Buddha and devil. The cultivators in this world are too obsessed with the two paths of good and evil. The biggest reason is that this world is set by the Lord God, and everyone acts according to the route given by the Lord God, so the people in this world are just pawns and cannot escape fate. However, you are different. The so-called destiny is just an excuse and reason for deception. Cultivators must go against the will of heaven in order to survive the heavenly tribulation and ascend to become immortals. The so-called ascension is to transcend the laws of this world and get rid of destiny. And your advantage over me is that you are not puppets of the Lord God from beginning to end, and there is no good and evil in your hearts. So, when you encounter a decision, don't worry, just act according to your feelings and your own ideas."
Meng Xiang didn't quite understand Bai Mei's mysterious words, but he wiped his nose with his hand and said arrogantly: "Of course, I won't be influenced by others. I am a straightforward person. If I think it is the right thing to do, I am not afraid even if it means fighting against the sky."
"Haha, what a good 'fight against heaven', no wonder the Blood Qilin died in your hands. However, this is only because you don't know how terrible 'heaven' is. Do you know why Haotian chose to self-destruct after ascending? After ascending, everything turned into nothingness, and he could no longer participate in the struggles of the human world. Haotian's self-destruction was a decision made at the moment of ascension. Because only those who have ascended, or cultivators like me who have reached the Mahayana realm for hundreds of years and still cling to the human world, can understand the secrets of heaven and know the past and future three thousand lives. I regret it very much. Haotian asked me for advice many times after breaking through the gene lock, but I was afraid of being punished by heaven, so I kept waiting vaguely. Now I think about it, if I had made a gamble early, Haotian would have been fully prepared before the king's battle, and maybe he wouldn't have to choose to self-destruct."
Seeing that Bai Mei was becoming more and more serious, Meng Xiang couldn't help but feel nervous.
Bai Mei continued, "The so-called heavenly punishment is the punishment from the Lord God. Because cultivators can see through the secrets of heaven, all people, demons, and immortals in "The Legend of Shushan" are under the surveillance of the Lord God. However, this is not the law of my world. In my inner universe, I am not afraid of heavenly punishment. Then, I will reveal a piece of history from ancient times to you."
"History? Could it be that the unknown creatures that created the Lord God died and were defeated?" Fang Ru had previously speculated based on Haotian's last words that a war similar to the Primordial War had taken place in ancient times. In that war, all the unknown creatures that created the Lord God died. However, before they were defeated, they created the Lord God and the reincarnation world in order to occupy the bodies of the strong who broke through the genetic lock, in an attempt to make a comeback.
"That's right. In fact, this history has long been known to the humans in your world, but no one takes it seriously. This is not their fault. After all, it is too unbelievable for the laws of your world."
"Please tell me quickly." Meng Xiang's curiosity was aroused, and he wanted to know the truth of the incident immediately.
"Haha, don't be anxious. After listening to this, I believe you will be much more cautious when you say 'fighting with the sky' again." Baimei smiled slightly, his eyes half closed and half open, and he collected his thoughts for a moment before continuing.
"You should have heard of the Battle of the Gods in the Western Zhou Dynasty, right?" Baimei asked.
"The Battle of the Gods? Could it be the mythical novel 'Investiture of the Gods'?"
"That's right. Myths are all made up by the authors. There are many mythological novels in your world, but famous novels are not made up by a single author. The author simply collects and organizes folk tales, then infiltrates his own ideas into them, and finally forms a novel."
Meng Xiang nodded slightly. Although he was not a literary expert and was not very interested in literature, he had read most of the famous mythological novels or masterpieces, so he agreed with Bai Mei's words. Ancient literature, especially novels, can almost always be found in history. Prototypes or related legends can be found.
The Investiture of the Gods is set against the historical background of Jiang Ziya assisting the Zhou Dynasty (King Wen and King Wu of Zhou) in their crusade against King Zhou of Shang. It describes the story of the immortals of the Chan and Jie sects fighting with each other, defeating the generals and becoming gods. It contains a large number of folk legends and myths, and is based on many famous works. The system of this novel about gods and demons is similar to that of The Legend of Shushan, but the results of ascending to immortality are different. In terms of the level of cultivation, it is hundreds of times stronger than The Legend of Shushan.
"The battle in "Investiture of the Gods" is real, and the Zhuxian Formation did exist." Baimei's every word was sonorous, and every sentence pierced Meng Xiang's heart.
"Could it be that the battle between gods and humans in The Investiture of the Gods was actually a battle between the unknown creature that created the Lord God and some powerful people?"
"You are right, but not entirely correct. The unknown creature you are talking about is actually a cultivator who has unlocked the genetic lock."
"So, they are also human beings? To be more precise, humans who live in the same world as us?" Meng Xiang was shocked, but this seemed difficult to justify.
Sure enough, Baimei shook his white-haired head and said, "There is a natural law in your world. It is very profound and difficult for me to explain. You can substitute the physical laws, the law of conservation of mass and other scientific theorems you know into it and you will know that cultivation, skills, potential locks, etc. cannot exist in your world. Unless you break through the gene lock and open the power of the soul, you can exert your power in your world."
“So… this…” Meng Xiang was totally confused and could only stare at Baimei, eager for him to explain.
"These things have long been beyond your imagination, so it is understandable that you can't figure it out. In fact, this natural law has not always existed. When the world was first created, there was only your world at the center of the universe. As the beasts prospered, humans and beasts absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In the hundreds of millions of years of history, many immortals were born. The immortals each mastered the laws of the universe, and could overturn the world with a wave of their hands and feet. This was unacceptable to heaven and earth, so the natural law came into being."
Bai Mei sighed and said regretfully: "That period was the peak of my cultivation. With the skills of me and Youquan Blood Demon, even if we could squeeze into the prehistoric world, we would only be small characters."
Meng Xiang tried to imagine the ancient fairyland with fairies dancing in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Based on the species before becoming immortals, they can be divided into humans and beasts. The immortals gradually felt the pressure of the laws of nature and had to create a world that allowed them to survive. Originally, everything was peaceful. But gradually, some immortals among the beasts broke through the gene lock and unlocked the power of the soul. They returned to their homeland by chance and found that humans had become the spirits of all things. They were quite unwilling to accept this. As more and more beasts and immortals broke through the gene lock, this emotion became increasingly intense. Finally, they decided to return to their homeland."
"Are you planning to destroy humanity?" Meng Xiang knew that no matter whether it was a human or an animal, as long as they broke through the genetic lock, their power would be so strong that he could not imagine it. It would be easy to destroy humanity.
"Destroyed humans? No matter what, they are also immortals. At first, they just wanted to tease humans. This is the beginning of the novel "Investiture of the Gods". The beasts sent a thousand-year-old fox spirit, a jade pipa spirit, and a nine-headed pheasant spirit to confuse King Zhou and destroy the Shang Dynasty. However, later the author of the novel combined mythology and had a plot in which King Zhou made rude actions against Nuwa, the mother of the earth, and blasphemed Nuwa, which made Nuwa extremely angry. She ordered the three Xuanyuan demons to enter the harem to confuse King Zhou."
"I see, that's really a prank."
