Chapter 11: The Story of Ancient Times to the Present Present

After Fu Qinggu was sent away by Ji Wumei, only Yan Che was left in the courtyard. Yan Qinghou's troops were stationed outside the village, and the soldiers occasionally patrolled and passed by, and later the soldiers reported to Yan Qinghou that Yan Che was sitting alone in the courtyard, and Yan Qinghou asked the soldiers to avoid Yan Che when patrolling, so as not to disturb him.

Finally, when no one came again, the fire demon walked out of Yan Che's heart and appeared as a black cloud. Yan Che asked about the story of the ancient period of the fire demon, and wanted to know why the demon was a demon. The fire demon was silent at first, and then the black cloud swirled, and in the very center of the vortex, like a mirror, it was possible to see the past:

About tens of thousands of years ago, the universe was compressed into a black ball, and the world was in darkness. The black ball exudes a strong vitality, and after tens of thousands of years, the first one is finally born from the black ball

The god "Pangu". Pangu was born from the universe, at a loss, the world was dark, and he couldn't feel anything but the black ball. Over time, a sense of loneliness and fear haunted him. He heard the sound of life in the black orb, but he didn't know when the next birth of a god would be. Therefore, he wanted to open the black ball and let the life inside be released. However, he could not open it anyway. In the end, he turned into a mountain-opening axe with his vitality and split the black ball with an axe. The impact of the black ball's instant burst knocked him into pieces, and the fragments of his Yuan Shen merged with the constantly spreading Haotian Universe, scattering at the ends of the world, the end of the world. At this point, the closed Haotian world can be regarded as officially opened.

There are countless stars in the spread universe, and each star is like the earth that exists under our feet. Four of the fragments of Pangu landed on this planet, and they formed the original appearance of this planet: the god of the earth, Hades, Yama, the god of the sea, the god of water, Gonggong, the god of the forest, Nuwa, the god of love, and Zhurong, the god of the core.

Each of the four gods dwells in its own realm and has never been in contact with or know. It wasn't until one day that the other three gods were gathered together, and the four gods officially met. The four gods could sense each other, after all, they were all fragments of the Pangu Yuan God, but this day was the first time they had met in tens of thousands of years. Zhu Rong also crawled out of the lava deep in the earth for the first time, and his appearance caused the earth to crack, volcanoes erupt, and magma and flames everywhere he went. The water god works together with the tail of the fish, and after swimming ashore from the sea, the tail becomes a river. Wherever she goes, Nuwa's four seasons are like spring, and her surroundings are full of vitality, green grass, and a hundred flowers are blooming. And Hades Yama lives in Hokuriku, where there is ice and snow all year round, and his whole body is blue, which is a kind of spirit situation, and the original god still stays in the snow river of Hokuriku.

The four gods introduced each other to each other, and then asked why the snail had summoned them. The snail told the reason.

It turned out that Nuwa felt that the earth was too quiet, and no one could communicate with each other every day and night. The Grim Reaper has his own duties, and the unchanging earth is too dead and silent. She also thought about leaving the earth and going to another planet, but as soon as she left it, the trees withered and the wind raged. Just a few days ago, she had no intention of playing with the mud on the ground, and she randomly played with a clay sculpture standing on two limbs, and she blew on the clay sculpture, and the clay sculpture became a living thing, able to walk and talk. Nuwa was so happy that she called the clay sculpture a human. In addition to being happy, she pinched out many more humans. However, it was not long before she discovered that some problems were too frequent: these people were so fragile that they would sink in the water, they would die in old age, and they could not resist the cold and the heat. They keep dying, and Nuwa's constant pinching can't keep up with the speed at which they die. So she asked the other three gods to help her solve this problem.

The three gods listened to Nuwa's request and began to offer their own opinions.

Yama said, "Instead of letting Nuwa create people herself, it is better for people to reproduce themselves. I know that the sea area of the water god is full of fish and shrimp, and there are even rare sea beasts, which reproduce, which is the result of the self-reproduction of aquatic creatures. Let humans reproduce themselves, so that they can keep living and living. I will then disperse my soul power to human beings, and after human beings are born, old, sick and dead, I will be reincarnated, so that people can live forever. ”

The god of water said, "The creatures in my water are all fish scales that fall from me, and then evolve into creatures of the sea. So I let some of them go ashore and become beasts of the mountains, birds of the sky, and men could domesticate them, so that the animals could carry them around the world. It's just that marine creatures have different qualities, some are docile, some are fierce, and I'm afraid that some animals will hurt humans. ”

The gods were talking, but only the fire god Zhu Rong's mind was not in the discussion, and his gaze did not leave Nuwa. He looked at Nuwa's smile and smiled, he had seen a different light on Nuwa's face for the first time after being in the darkness of the ground for a long time.

Yama and Nuwa didn't know what to do with the question raised by the water god, after all, this human being was small, unlike wild beasts with sharp claws and fangs, and they were fragile. If man cannot survive on the earth, he can only become the food of wild beasts. Nuwa asked Zhu Rong for her opinion, but Zhu Rong didn't pay attention at first, until Nuwa watched her ask again, and then came back to her senses. He thought about it, he lived in the magma underground, and knew that the flames could burn everything, and nothing could stop it, so he taught humans how to make fire, so that they could use fire to defend themselves against wild beasts.

Everyone agreed with this plan, so everyone performed their duties and returned to their own field to exert their divine powers. The fish and shrimp of the sea landed on land, grew limbs and wings, and became wild beasts of the mountains and birds of the sky. After being endowed with a soul, human beings can combine to have children, and they can be reincarnated after birth, old age, sickness and death. After Zhu Rong passed the flames to the humans after the volcano in the southern continent, the human beings gained a firm foothold on the earth, and the earth was overshadowed by life. When the gods saw that it had been done, they returned to their own realm.

At that time, the earth was still connected, and the footsteps of human beings were everywhere, and they could survive in the extreme cold and desert. Seeing that the world has become better, Nuwa also feels that she should take a break. She returned to the forest in the west and slept peacefully. In the place where she slept, her qi was absorbed for a long time, and a towering tree grew, and a fruit bore on the tree. When Nuwa saw it, she knew that this fruit was the fruit of desire, which was very dangerous to human beings, and once human beings ate it by mistake, they would gain hatred, greed, and sin, and it would be difficult for human beings to have true love from then on. There are many elves in the forest where she lives, and they are the first flower elves. Nuwa instructed the flower elves to guard the fruit of desire, and never let humans approach, and went to sleep after the order.

Until one day, a person broke into the forbidden land, which also opened the prelude to the war and strife of mankind and the disintegration of the earth.

About a few hundred years after the snail fell asleep, a human fell off a cliff in the Western Continent and fell into the forest where the snail slumbered. The patrolling Flower Elves saw the wounded human and brought him back to the forest for healing. After several days in a coma, the human awoke.

Humans called Xia, picking herbs on the cliff accidentally fell into the bottom of the cliff. His mother was old and seriously ill, and he wanted to get medicine to heal her.

After Xia expressed his intentions, the flower elves picked some herbs from the tree next to the female snail and gave them to Xia so that he could go back to heal his mother. When Xia heard that Nuwa, the ancestor of mankind, was sleeping in the forest, he wanted to go and see it, and if his mother knew that the herbs were given by Nuwa, he would be very happy.

The female snail had previously instructed that humans should not be allowed to approach the sacred tree, but did not say that no one could see her face. After consulting the elders of the flower world, the fairy of the flower world took him into the place where the female snail was sleeping.

Xia Yi was amazed when he saw Nuwa. Nuwa's face was serene, and she slept quietly under the big tree, covered with flowers and green leaves. Nuwa's body is also much larger than that of humans, about 100 times larger, like a giant. And the tree was even higher, reaching into the sky and not being able to see the end. The scene in front of him made Xia unbelievable, and she knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Nuwa.

After seeing Nuwa's face, the flower elf prepared to take Xia back so as not to disturb Nu Snail's rest. On the way back, Xia turned around and accidentally saw a fruit growing on a big tree. Xia asked the elf what the fruit was, and the elf only said not to ask, it was something that humans could not touch.

When he returned to the forest house, the elf arranged for him to leave the next day. In the middle of the night, Xia Jiu couldn't sleep for a long time, he had heard that Nuwa was the embodiment of the aura of heaven and earth, because of the vitality she exuded, the fruit of life grew on the place where she slumbered, and she could live forever and stay young as long as she ate a bite. There were also many humans who had entered the forest before, and everyone said that the fruit exuded an aura of temptation from a distance, but they couldn't get close to it. Xia thought to himself, even if he returned the herbs to his mother, but his mother was too old and did not have many days, if this fruit was really as ordinary people say, then why not bring the fruit to his mother, let her mother live forever? After this idea began to arise, Xia got out of bed and entered the forest without anyone noticing.

He has the aura of a human on him, so he can't go straight into the forest. The guards in the forest can sense the alien aura and will soon spot him. On his way back to the house from the place where the snail was sleeping, he saw several elves burying a dryad. At that time, the elf said that the tree spirit had lived for nearly a thousand years, and at the end of his life, he had returned to the body of the tree. The elf put the dryad on the ground, put a flower on it, and left. Natsu found the place where the tree spirit was buried, and the tree spirit was already an empty shell, and he put the shell on himself, just enough to hold himself. He walked straight to the tree in this dress, and no one noticed him.

When he reached the bottom of the tree, he saw the sleeping Nuwa hesitating, remembering the scene where he kowtowed to Nuwa in the morning, and the elf warning him not to go near the tree. But he was eager to save his mother, so he still stepped on the trunk of the tree and climbed up the tree.

After collecting medicine on the edge of the cliff for many years, Xia practiced the ability to climb, and after a while, he climbed to half the height of the big tree. But the shell on his body was still too heavy, so he took off the shell in order to save effort. At the moment when he took off the shell of the tree, the flower elves who were training in the woods sensed the breath of an unknown person in the big tree, and they dared to go to the big tree. Unbeknownst to him, Xia had already climbed to the place where the fruit was, and the fruit was also huge, more than 20 meters high, and the skin was bright red, and it seemed that there was a flowing breath in the flesh through the skin.

Xia is not greedy, he just wants his mother to live a long life, he can't take the whole fruit, he only plans to take a bite. Just as he dug out a mouthful of the flesh and was about to put it in his arms, he suddenly thought that the fruit really had such a miraculous effect, and he decided to give it a try, and put the flesh in his mouth. Just after he ate the flesh, the flower fairy flew behind him from under the tree.

As soon as the flower elves came up, they saw that the fruit of desire was missing a piece of flesh, and Natsu, who had eaten the fruit, suddenly began to struggle. His body began to change, the white light of his eyes came out, the meridians in his body were disordered, as if burning, he held his head in his hands, his head was torn, and he was in pain. Seeing this, one of the flower elves was about to step forward to suppress Xia, but he didn't want Xia to just stretch out his hand, so he emitted a white light from his hand, and then a wave of air knocked the guard away. Several other elves wanted to step forward together, and Xia burst out, and the expanding qi in his body shot out, sending everyone away.

After calming down, Xia looked at his body and felt endless power, and the scars left by his fall from the cliff disappeared, which showed that he was already immortal. He asked the elves flying in the air why they didn't let humans eat the fruit of the tree, as long as humans ate it, they would no longer have to go through birth, old age, sickness and death. However, the elf replied that human beings were created by Nuwa, that is, they can experience the cycle of life and death, and only the seven emotions and six desires can be called human beings, and if the boundaries are broken, everyone will be immortal, the order of the earth will change, and the world will fall into chaos. The elf also said to Xia that if he still has respect for Nuwa, he will be arrested immediately, and Nuwa will relieve the anger that should not be in his body.

Xia fell into thought when he heard this, and the elf thought that he was starting to wake up, and did not want him to be hopeless.

Xia replied that the culprit of all this was Nuwa, who herself was a god who could never die, and that humans would have to experience the grief of the death of their loved ones. He wants to bring this fruit to the world, so that all people will not experience the pain of death again. After saying that, Xia Yi picked the huge fruit, and after the fruit was removed, the big tree began to shake, and the leaves fell off. The birds and beasts in the forest were frightened and scurried around, and the sleeping Nuwa was also awakened, but she didn't know what had just happened to her when she woke up from a dream.

After receiving the news of the teleportation elves, the elders and patriarchs of the flower world immediately rushed to the big tree. At this time, Xia jumped down from the trunk of the tree and flew into the air. And Xia also marveled that he could fly in the air, and hated Nuwa and the flower world even more, and did not divide this fruit with humans early. The patriarch and the elder saw that the human beings were about to fly out of the forest with the fruit of desire, and together they emitted an air wave, and the fruit that Xia was carrying in his hand turned into pieces in an instant. The wind from the shaking of the trees actually blew away the residue of the fruit, and Natsu quickly grabbed one of the fruits and flew out of the forest. The other elves caught up one after another, and the elder and the patriarch rushed to the place where the snail was, and pleaded guilty.

After Nuwa knew what happened, she didn't get angry and blame Huajie, but blamed herself for not explaining the meaning of life to humans earlier. She said to the people of the Flower Realm, speeding up the recovery of the fruit fragments scattered in the world and bringing back the fleeing humans.

The fleeing Xia was speeding all the way in the air, and he was overjoyed when he was in the air for the first time, and under his feet was a scenery that he had never seen in his life. He quickly flew back to his village to distribute the fruits to his mother, who was seriously ill, but when he returned home, the news of his mother's early death awaited him. Because he had spent more than ten days in the forest, his mother died without herbs. Filled with grief and anger, he crushed the fruit in his hand, and the chasing soldiers of the flower world also chased him to the village.

The elves ask Xia to surrender and accept punishment, but Xia says that he is not guilty. The unknown villagers admired the people of the flower world and Nuwa very much, and also asked Xia what mistakes he had made. Seeing Xia show his skills after eating the fruit, everyone was amazed. He also said that these people in the flower world have the fruit of life, and they themselves are immortal, so that human beings can live for decades before dying. After eating the fruit, he was full of energy, like a god descending, he was no longer old and immortal, and bewitched the villagers that the people of the flower world were the culprits.

The human beings who don't know the truth question the people of the flower world, and the noise is everywhere, and the voice of resistance intensifies.

The flower elves could not harm humans, so they had no choice but to return to the forest and tell Nuwa and the patriarch the truth.

In fact, the people of the flower world are naturally not immortal as Xia said, they also have a lifespan, but they have a more thorough understanding of life under the teaching of the female snail. At that time, the villagers had been bewitched by Xia, and they couldn't defend themselves. Nuwa, who knows the situation, decides to go out in person and let humans let go of their prejudices.

However, things have developed too fast, and the fruits of desire scattered all over the world have been eaten by all kinds of flowers, insects, birds, beasts, human beasts, and riots have occurred everywhere on the earth for a while. Those who have not eaten the fruit of life have launched attacks on those who have already eaten the fruit, also wanting to gain eternal life. The war ignited on the earth, and Nuwa had no time to stop it, and the land was already full of wolf smoke and blood-stained sky. The war for the fruit affected the creatures of the earth and the sea, and those creatures, whether they ate the fruit or not, were hunted by humans, and rivers of blood were struck by the gods of the water. Gonggong surfaced from the deep sea and found Nu Snail, who told the truth.

At present, because of the sudden large-scale killing of human beings, Yama in the underworld is busy with his hands, and the human beings who have broken the pattern of life have made the underworld chaotic, and the soul is restless in the underworld, and the underworld is also in chaos, and he can't get out. Nuwa thought of Zhu Rong, the god of fire in the center of the earth, and Zhu Rong worked with Nuwa after receiving Nuwa's call.

When the three of them discuss a solution, the matter is imminent, and the co-workers propose to divert the sea to flood the world, let all the rebellious humans die, and then recreate humans and creatures. But Nuwa, who is kind-hearted, doesn't want to see the people she created die, so it's hard to accept it. She hopes that through lobbying, human beings can let go of their preconceptions and face life, and only life experience is the most important part of life. Gonggong rejected the idea of the female snail, saying that it would be too time-consuming, and he would not allow the majesty of his god race to be despised by humans.

Gonggong returned to the surface of the sea, waved his hand and cast a spell, and rolled up waves dozens of meters high from the sea, drowning all the humans on the shore. Constant waves crashed across the earth, sweeping countless humans into the water. Some of the humans fled to Nu Snail's side and innocently told Nuwa that they were not guilty and that they had not gone against Nuwa's wishes to let Nuwa rescue them.

Nuwa also thought that it was only a part of the human race that had problems, and innocent people could not be buried with them. She untied Chanjuan wrapped around her body and turned into a barrier to protect the people on the earth. Seeing that Nuwa was obsessed, the angry co-worker injured Nu Snail. and said to Zhu Rong on the side, if he also intervenes, he will be knocked down as well.

Seeing the injured Nuwa, Zhu Rong immediately helped her up. Seeing Nuwa's haggard face, he was saddened. Zhu Rong has long had feelings for Nuwa, and has been thinking about her for hundreds of years in the center of the earth. Nuwa begged Zhu Rong to stop the co-workers, and Zhu Rong agreed to her and flew to the sea to fight the co-workers.

But in the water, Gonggong's divine power was better than Zhu Rong's, and in the end, Zhu Rong was defeated, but he still persevered, preventing Gonggong from continuing to lead the sea. Seeing that Zhu Rong was stubborn, Gonggong wanted to stab him with a trident. In a hurry, Nuwa blocked the trident with her body and fell into Zhu Rong's arms.

Looking at Nuwa who was dying in his arms, Zhu Rong shouted angrily, and the red flame that was originally burning on his body turned into a black flame, and this black flame could even burn in the seawater. After Zhu Rong worked hard, Gonggong was defeated by Zhu Rong. But the co-workers do not intend to stop there, watching their world be polluted by humans. With the power of his primordial spirit, he soared into the sky, knocking out a large hole in the sky, and then spewing out a huge splash of water from the hole, pouring into the earth like an inverted column of water, trying to submerge the whole world.

Seeing the human race being submerged by the sea, Nuwa couldn't bear it and decided to make up for the loopholes in the sky with her own primordial spirit. At the last moment, she said goodbye to Zhu Rong and refused Zhu Rong's request to replace her to fill the loophole. Nuwa said that from Zhu Rong's eyes, she saw admiration, which is a human look. She is too weak to do things, resulting in the situation is out of control, she hopes that Zhu Rong will replace the human race to complete the redemption, can truly understand the meaning of life, and before flying to the sky, she also responded to Zhu Rong that she also loves him deeply, if there is fate, one day they will meet in another way. In the end, Nuwa flew into the sky and made up for the loophole with the Yuan Shen, and the water stopped.

At this time, the world was in shambles, and only Zhu Rong was left on the ground with black flames burning all over his body. The humans beneath his feet looked at him with fear and horror, as if begging for forgiveness from the last god on earth. However, there are still people who are inciting the crowd, saying that the gods control their lives at will, and now there is only one god left, and everyone will work together to destroy the god of fire, and there will be no gods in the world, and the humans themselves will be the masters. Then there were people attacking from below, and the impact hit the god of fire without pain, and the god of fire was sad at the moment, but there were no tears left. Looking at the child left behind by Nuwa, he didn't know what to do.

Finally, the Vulcan spoke:

"You don't need God, I can satisfy you. From now on, there will be no gods on the earth, but I will be scattered in the world as a demon, and I will watch over you at all times, and watch what happens to your own world. From now on, your life and death are not in our hands, but up to you. As long as you don't regret it. ”

Zhu Rong roared angrily towards the sky, and his Yuan Shen spread out on the earth, scattered all over the place. After that, human beings were disturbed, and after three thousand years and two great wars between humans and demons, nothing has changed. Nuwa once said that if there is fate, she will meet Zhu Rong again in another form, maybe a hundred years ago, Zhao Lingniang and Yan Tiexin were the reunion between Nuwa and Zhu Rong after a thousand years.
