According to ancient legends, there was a god named Zu.
The ancestor gods created the world, and then after billions of years of population growth, from ancient times to the present world, there is already a saying of "three realms".
That is - the lower world, the upper world, and the celestial world.
Places like the 'human world', where the spiritual energy is turbid, belong to the 'lower realm'. Most of the races and all living beings in the heavens live in similar lower realms.
Occasionally there are people with extraordinary talent and genius, whose cultivation reaches the limit of the 'lower realm', and then 'ascends' to the upper realm, starting a legend.
Compared to the numerous lower realms, there are only two recognized 'upper realms' today.
One is the fairyland, the other is the devilland.
The former is far superior to the latter in terms of territory, overall strength, etc., but when it comes to the distribution of power, it is far from as simple as the unification of the eight tribes of the demon world.
After a long period of running-in, the fairy world has gradually become a structure where three major forces are at the head and the rest of the small and medium-sized forces are subordinate.
These three major forces are the "Taoism" led by the Taoist Master, the "Immortal Court" commanded by the Immortal Emperor, and the "Heart Palace" established by the Queen Nuwa.
Each force has a long history and is closely related to the ancestor god of creation... Among them, the Immortal Emperor and the Queen of Wa are all descendants of the ancestor god's bloodline, and the first generation of Tao Zun is the "preacher" personally selected by the ancestor god, and is the "orthodoxy" of the world's great way...
At least, before the Lord of Xuanmen appeared, Taoism had always been the top force in the world.
But... with the emergence of the brilliant and talented 'Xuanzhu', and his three steps into the Taoist sect, he first defeated the Five Mountains and then defeated the Taoist Master... the Taoist sect's dominance over the world was completely broken.
Afterwards, the eldest senior brother of Xuanmen killed the Demon Emperor with one sword... Xuanmen's prestige was unmatched at the time.
Gradually, Xuanmen replaced Taoism's status as a "preacher".
After a period of development, the Lord of Xuanmen used his great supernatural powers to open up the passage between the upper realm and the 'heavenly realm' left by the ancestral gods, and built a magnificent palace in the center of the realm as the "core headquarters" of Xuanmen.
It is known in history as Xiao Wuji Palace.
Not long after this palace was built, the Lord of Xuanmen announced a shocking news to the world.
It turns out that there are maxims left by the ancestral gods in the outer world of heaven, which were interpreted by the master of Xuanmen as a prediction of the "great catastrophe".
As this prophecy shows, there are distant visitors from the outer void on the other side of the starry sky. They will come here and destroy everything.
It was a mysterious and terrifying force that originated from the ancient era of gods.
The world calls it the "foreign land".
In order to deal with the threat from the "Absolute Domain", various forces have taken measures. For example, the Taoist sect has implemented the "Heavenly Chosen" plan. Based on their own connection with the ancestral gods, they communicate with the "will" left by the ancestral gods - the will of heaven - and thus select the "Son of the Righteous" who will help the people and survive the catastrophe...
In the last "chosen one", they chose "Long Aotian", who had the strongest aura of true destiny and the blood of the ancient dragon clan.
Taoism supported him and made him the last of the nine ancient emperors of the human race, the Dragon Emperor.
But no one could have imagined that... Once Long Aotian completely controlled his destiny, his personality changed drastically. He betrayed all the races in the heavens and tried to collude with the 'Jueyu', refine the 'will of heaven', step on the bones of the people, and ascend to the road of kingship!
At that time, because of the Taoism, he had the support of the people and was also blessed with the destiny to seize the power of the earth. For a moment, he even had the momentum of 'the unity of heaven, earth and man'. If it weren't for the Xuanmen's full support later, I'm afraid that Long Aotian would have really succeeded.
This is the mystery of the decline of the ancient human race, and also the truth of the "War of Heaven".
In that battle, Xiao Xingjun, the world's number one spirit weapon who served under the Lord of Xuanmen, died in order to break Long Aotian's 'human power' and 'terrestrial power'.
The junior master uncle of Xuanmen also disappeared from the public eye since then and was believed to have died.
With such a mistake, the Taoist sect and the Immortal Emperor who supported them are naturally to blame.
Eventually, the contemporary Daoist Master went into the 'Dead Sea' alone and exiled himself, and the Immortal Emperor's reputation plummeted as a result. His subordinate, who was originally the Great Emperor of the Human Race, and later abdicated his position to Long Aotian due to the personality charm of the Immortal Emperor and returned to the Immortal Court after his ascension, also became disheartened and left the Immortal Court... Later, that man, the first generation Emperor Zhou of the human world, the Dragon Lord Panlong, the mount of the Dragon Emperor who awakened after the war, and the Lord of Xuanmen, together made a plan to revive the ancient human race.
Afterwards, he handed over his natal weapon, the Emperor Garden.
Later, he heard that his old friend died of depression because he met the wrong person, so he became disheartened and became a monk, with the Buddhist name "Liaokong"...
The gears of fate also turn because of this.
Of course, if we want to trace back, in fact, we have to start from three years ago when Chu Tianxiao followed his father's order and entered Xiao Wuji Palace in a unique way...
At that time, he not only learned a lot of skills with the help of the time mystery of Zhouguang Tiandong, a treasure of Xuanmen, but also, with the intentional matchmaking of the master of Xuanmen, he had a relationship with three proud ladies of the time...
Soul-leaving Road, Void Battlefield, Unlimited Demon Realm...
In these dangerous situations, he met Lin Yuxi, the direct descendant of Queen Wa, Shui Menghan, the daughter of the Immortal Emperor, and '珟', the descendant of the Queen of Humanity.
But after the three-year period was up, in order to completely derail him from the track of the Heavenly Dao, the Lord of Xuanmen used his great magical powers to strip away and seal off his cultivation, and exiled his soul.
Wandering in other worlds, thousands of reincarnations.
After a hundred trials, I will return.
This is where it all began.
Yes.
There is no such thing as time travel.
…
…
"Huh... So that's how it is."
Chu Tianxiao, who slowly integrated his recovered memories and completely understood everything, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He returned to Xuanmen several months ago under the leadership of his fifth senior brother Ning Linyun.
Through the healing formations of Senior Sisters Ye and Han, his over-exhausted body has been restored to perfect condition.
All hidden injuries have been resolved.
"Really... Xiaotian, you are too reckless. You haven't even broken Lingyue yet, but you dare to use Master's sword again and again. Really..."
In front of me, a young girl in cool green clothes pressed her forehead and complained, but before she finished her words, a woman in orange clothes beside her smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "Okay, Xiaoyin, everything is done, let my junior brother have a good rest..."
"Oh, right."
As he spoke, Ye Wuyu looked at Chu Tianxiao with a half-smile, and said, "That Miss Liu Ling has been thinking about me day and night... It's a pity that she encountered a bottleneck some time ago, and the third sister asked her to go to the 'Tianchi' for meditation. I'm afraid she can't 'throw herself into my arms' for a while..."
Thinking back to the time, after the decisive battle at the Purple Forbidden City, Mu Liuling, Chu Tianxiao's number one lackey, followed his fourth senior brother from Xuanmen, Gu Sheng, into the Xiao Wuji Palace to learn martial arts. It has been a while now, so he has become familiar with Ye Han... That's why Ye Wu Yu said this.
But it was a bit teasing.
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao was first happy for Mu Liuling's progress, but then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Seventh Senior Sister, why are you also..."
Ye Wuyu smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "Senior Sister is just reminding you... This time, your 'trouble' is not small."
After saying this, she pulled Han Shaoyin away before Chu Tianxiao could speak.
Seeing this, Chu Tianxiao was slightly stunned, and soon, as if he thought of something, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems... it's really a big trouble."
As he was muttering, the cold voice of the Great Prodigal System sounded in his ears, explaining the completion of the task of torturing his true destiny...
The system is as bad as always.
The rewards are included in a big gift package and distributed together with the main quest, and the completion status of the main quest is still under 'review' by the pitfall system.
But come to think of it, even if it's not finished yet, it's almost there.
"Well... Next, I will retrieve the cultivation that Master sealed for me..."
