Pathological.

As the saying goes, "the beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things." "At the beginning of ancient times, chaos was not cleared, yin and yang were not separated, everything in the world was mixed together, nothingness, dead silence, chaos and disorder. This is the "nothingness" of heaven and earth before it was born, or rather, the birth of heaven and earth.

Since Pangu broke through the chaos and separated the heavens and the earth, everything in the world has become "real", and everything has its proper order - this is "existence".

However, whether it is "nothing" or "being", they are all dialectically unified, which is not only mutually exclusive, but also accompanies each other, and is unified under the "Tao".

After all, just as "no limit is the greatest limit", even disordered chaos is bound by rules.

There are thousands of interpretations of "Tao", but no matter which interpretation it is, it is inseparable from the word "rule".

The Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu, who was the first to systematically explain the concept of "Tao", in the twenty-fifth chapter of his famous work "Tao Te Ching":

There is a mixture of things, born from nature.

Lonely, independent and unchanging, Zhou Xing without dying, can be the mother of the world.

I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed.

Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big. There are four major domains, and people live in one of them.

Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature.

And the forty-second chapter of the Tao Te Ching is cloudy:

Tao gives birth to one, life two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, all things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and think they are harmonious.

The so-called "one" refers to a chaotic and undivided state before the formation of all things in heaven and earth. From "one" to "two", that is, to produce heaven and earth or yin and yang. Heaven and earth yin and yang merge to give birth to "three", and then give rise to all things. In this way, the Tao becomes the essence or origin from which all things are born, and everything in the world is produced by the Tao, and all things are unified in the Tao.

After Pangu opened the world, a group of powerful creatures were born in heaven and earth, although these creatures were not created by Pangu himself, but they were all born because of Pangu. Because of this, they all have access to the power of "rules".

In other words, these beings themselves are the embodiment of rules.

In short, these beings who were able to control the power of the rules became the masters of the world, and in later history, they were called gods.

The gods, the beauty of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, the unfeasible to do the mundane, and the unpleasant to enjoy.

If you compare the world to a system or a game.

Then all the creatures in the mundane are strings of code in the program, and the gods, this is the administrator.

It is precisely because the gods have so many benefits that countless non-god beings have sacrificed their lives and sacrificed their lives to devote themselves to the "grand cause" of cultivating into gods.

However, the avenue is vast, and it cannot be seen unless it is destined for people.

Moreover, in the same way that later Western evaluations of Shakespeare's works were made, each person and even every spiritual creature had different indirectness to the Tao.

Some of these understandings are similar and merge with each other, while others are contradictory and even close to each other.

Therefore, under the general direction of "cultivating to become a god", countless paths have emerged.

As a result, there are immortals, Buddhas, demons, and demons in this world.

In an era when mortal technology could not provide an effective survival barrier for the weak, these various "gods" were the most effective and reliable umbrella for the disadvantaged.

In order to thank the gods for their kindness in protecting the mortal world, people began to build all kinds of temples, temples, and altars on the earth, and set up special priests to guide mortals to worship the gods in their hearts - countless mythological systems have been passed down in the world.

The worship of mortals, though weak, cannot be ignored.

For as early as the first time one prays to a particular deity, that deity feels himself receive a faint but extremely comfortable energy.

As time passed, the gods were amazed to find that the strength of the gods who were worshipped by their followers had generally increased.

All of a sudden, these energies generated by the worship and prayer of the devotees became an excellent tonic for the gods to pursue.

This power originates from the faithful, hence the name "power of faith".

And because people are generally accustomed to lighting flames at the time of playing--it is widely believed that fire has the ability to open the door of space to transmit messages and objects-and in the East, people have gradually developed from "bonfire sacrifice" to "burning incense and praying", so the power of faith has another name in the East, that is, "incense offering".

Later, among the many mythological systems, the immortal clan, which had just risen and was in urgent need of developing power, was keenly aware that since the power of faith could improve the strength of the realm that was already close to solidification, could it be possible to let those cultivators who could not become gods for various reasons ascend to the altar?

As a result, under the leadership of the three leaders of the immortal clan and the Sanqing patriarch, a god-making project called the "Fengshen List" was born......

……

The mortal era is 2011 A.D., New Year's Day;

"Uncle Shi. Yang Jian looked at the blue light that bloomed from the god list on the majestic god sealing platform, and said respectfully to the old man beside him, "Count, tomorrow will be the god sealing ceremony." ”

The host of the God Ceremony, dressed in a dark cyan coat, looked like a seventy-year-old man in the mortal world, Jiang Shang Jiang Ziya, a flying bear daoist, looked at Yang Jian when he heard this: "What, isn't it that my nephew can't even wait for this last day?"

“…… Uncle Shi is like a god, and the disciple admires it. Since this is the case, the nephew dared to ask the uncle to lure out the soul of Huo Quai's illness and go to the lower realm with his disciple. ”

"Hmm...... After more than 2,000 years of incense offerings, this son has become a heavenly immortal. But you've already taken one a few days ago, so why aren't you satisfied—do you care so much about their armor and weapons?"

"This ...... Uncle Shi, you have also presided over several ceremonies of the gods, don't you still understand the temperament of this god list? It's not that the disciples are obsessed with this, but that the god-making power of this god list is really ...... It's embarrassing. ”

“……”

"Every time the disciple sees the green hat on Yun Chang's head and the big knife in his hand......" Yang Jian's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "Uncle Shi, it's hard to hold back your laughter." ”

After listening to Yang Jian's reasoning, Jiang Ziya's face showed the same embarrassment as Yang Jian's, "Yes...... After all, the Fengshen List is essentially just an absorber of the power of faith, and when it uses the power of faith to shape the gods, it will always shape them into the most familiar image for believers. ”

"And this kind of image is often romanticized and dramatic," Yang said, "and it is far from their real image." ”

"Well, I'll promise you one more time. ”

"Thank you, uncle!"

"Don't forget to seal the canon tomorrow - call Bai Qi. ”

"Don't worry, uncle, one day in heaven and one year on earth, you won't miss it. ”

……

In a soft auspicious cloud, Yang Jian was talking to his newly recognized "fifth brother".

"Second brother, if you count according to the calendar of the world, the fourth brother should have been wandering in the world for several years, right?"

"What is a wave?" Yang Jian glared and said angrily, "People are looking for their own saber back then, so that they can refine it into a natal magic weapon at tomorrow's god sealing ceremony." ”

"That's not right, it was you who said that you had already learned the whereabouts of the fourth brother Sabre, and Daoist Jiang promised you, but why haven't you found it yet?"

"Uh...... I didn't know that the aura of that sword suddenly disappeared, and according to my judgment, it should have been blocked by some magic weapon. So I can't help it. ”

"Didn't the fourth brother say anything?"

"Oh, there are still complaints, but he's been obsessed with collecting katana lately, so I'll let him go. ”

“…… In the words of the second brother, you called me, I served you. ”
