Ji Le fell asleep this time, inadvertently traveling through time and space to the future, causing him to not purify himself of his evil. Therefore, you can only choose the New Year Beast Method, and purify the evil qi of the year in one fell swoop by extracting the evil beast and condensing the evil beast on the day before the New Year.

Well, here's the key.

Which season of the year is the beginning of the year?

Winter is the season that the Xia Kingdom is promoting, and it has a close relationship with the Xia Kingdom, and if it is defined as the first year of the year, it may be able to strengthen the relationship with the Xuanfeng Divine Monarch.

Spring, since the Han Dynasty in the homeland, has defined spring as the first year of the year. In the reincarnation of spring, summer and autumn in the Yuan and Mongolian worlds, the Xia Kingdom has always regarded spring as the first of the year.

But the summer is hot, which is more suitable for the impression of the summer calendar. If you think of summer as the beginning of the year, it's not that it's impossible to say otherwise.

There is also autumn, autumn is the time of harvest, and the beginning of the year also has its own meaning.

From the perspective of ancient China, there were dynasties in October, November, December, and January of the lunar calendar as the first year of the year.

So, when Ji Le threw out the question, the Spirit Palace and the royal court immediately fell into endless arguments.

Summer and autumn were excluded first, after all, the first month of the Chinese dynasties was either winter or spring.

According to the calendar negotiated between the Xia Kingdom and the Sun Temple, it completely imitated the Jiazi calendar of the Yellow Emperor that year, and defined the winter solstice as "Jiazi day in Jiazi year." ”

Because legend has it that this day is a key day for the Yellow Emperor to ascend the throne and set the inheritance of thousands of years of Zhuxia. Even in another world, everyone still adds sacred colors to the day of the winter solstice.

In other words, although there is already a calculation of the Jiazi calendar on the day of the beginning of winter, it is not yet formal. It is not extrapolated from the beginning of the Jiazi calendar.

The real Jiazi year Jiazi month Jiazi day, until the day of the winter solstice, by the Xia monarch sacrifice to the sky, can be regarded as the summer calendar is truly integrated into this era, and the Jiazi calendar is truly run.

So, choosing the winter solstice as the metaverse may be more in line with the needs of this era?

But another group of people put forward another point of view: since the Han Dynasty in the homeland, the first month of Yin is the first month. And Yinyue also means that spring has arrived and entered the beginning of spring. Spring is the beginning of the year.

The views of the two factions did not give in to each other, starting from the confrontation between the Spirit Palace and the Royal Court, and then swept through the Xue Palace, the Hidden Palace, the Ding Palace, the Ming Palace and other places, causing heated discussions in the entire Nine Palace City. In the end, he even rolled up the border platform and the villages outside the city.

And this, indirectly, also involves the gods.

Yuan Xi lazily lay on Ji Le's big bed in the dormitory: "So, you have to toss this place, so my brother will run down to discuss with our sisters." ”

"yes, yes. Goddess Qingling said happily: "There are also several brothers from the Dongfeng Temple, who also came to us for help, and gave me a lot of gifts, I hope we will persuade you to choose 'Lichun' as the head of the year." ”

The New Year's Day of a kingdom is bound to be the most important festival of the year. Among the twenty-four wind gods, the god of the winter solstice and the god of the beginning of spring both want to define "New Year's Day" in their own time period.

In this way, they will be able to gain more faith power in the 24 solar terms. And this is not only the summer country, with the promotion of the summer calendar, perhaps other countries will also define New Year's Day as a national holiday. In that way, whoever controls the festival of "New Year's Day" will have a powerful source of faith.

"I don't care, whatever. Anyway, it's not the turn of the three solar terms of the beginning of winter and the big and small snow. ”

Ji Le put forward the theory of "the first year of the year" at the beginning of winter, and the day of the beginning of winter was directly excluded. Otherwise, according to the first year of the year, Lidong is also very competitive.

Lidong God, that is, the eldest brother of Yuan Xi and the others, silently complained behind his back, shook his head and sighed.

His younger brother competed for New Year's Day with the eldest brother next door, but he obviously had the right to compete, but he was eliminated from the beginning.

Ji Le held a black ball of light the size of a football and slowly pressed the qi in his body into the ball of light.

"Before the winter solstice, I can create the Year Beast. If it's the beginning of spring, it's okay. Negotiate for yourselves. ”

"If we can negotiate, do we still want to come to you?" Yuan Xi hugged the soft pillow and said willfully: "No, this matter was caused by you, and you must solve it!

"Me?" Ji Le thought for a moment, for him, it seemed to be more inclined to the beginning of spring, but the meaning of the winter solstice was also very good.

"In that case, let them duel! The two gods compete, and whoever wins will be the protector of New Year's Day. ”

"Duel?" Yuan Xi's eyes lit up: "That's good, let them fight." Whoever wins, who is responsible for New Year's Day. After saying that, she hurriedly took her sister to her brother to discuss.

"That's right, Ji Le!" As he walked out of the temple, Yuan Xi said, "We can open a game of gambling and find the gods to bet on." It is best to attract the eyes of all the gods and build momentum for the Xia Kingdom. ”

"Of course, you can choose your temple. By the way, I'll go to your temple in a few days. ”

After comforting the goddess who had been wronged for months, Ji Le lay alone on the big bed and pondered.

"Still thinking about what you will see in the future?" Huo Quzhi walked in, saw Ji Le looking like a dead fish, and walked over to comfort: "The future is just a possibility, since we have seen the future, then this future will definitely not be realized." ”

I don't know if I said this specifically to comfort Ji Le, or to myself.

"But it's really uncomfortable to see your own death with your own eyes. ”

"The emperor will not die. The ancient snake crawled down from Huo Qu's arm and swam to the bed: "Didn't you say it too...... Is your future self 'gone'?"

Huo Quzhi: "Is there any difference between disappearing and dying?"

"Of course it is different, the main god has engraved the origin at the root of the world, and it is an immortal and immortal existence. The primordial god of fire has fallen, but is he really dead?"

At the mention of the primordial fire god, Ji Le's heart moved, and he looked at the candle flame not far away.

The ancient snake snapped its tail: "That's right. The so-called fall of the main god is only a change of form. The lights you have here, the stoves in your homes, and even the sacrificial fires used to worship the gods are all extensions of the power of the god of fire. His Source is flowing through the earth with these fires. Someday, he may revert to the form of the main god. ”

The Lord God is the master of a certain law. Their power permeates the world, and the body of the Lord God is only a side of the manifestation of the law, not the root.

Just like the god of the sea, like the goddess of the earth, their so-called death is nothing more than a complete sleep in this world. It is no longer possible to interfere in the course of the world. But in the Sea of Nothingness, the two gods still exist, and they are engaged in endless wars.

Huo Quai: "But the emperor is not the same as the general natural law god. ”

"That's right, it's true that the emperor is different. But Ji Le also said that when you mention the Kingdom of Doga in the future, you will only say that the other party is asleep. Sleep is just mental dormancy, and the length is different. Not long ago, you also slept for a few months, could it be that when you slept, Xia Guo had no contact with you?"

The ancient snake said: "So, in the future, you only mention 'eternal sleep'. This kind of eternal sleep is never to wake up again, but not to die completely. ”

"The death of the emperor will still bring about the destruction of the empire. But you did not die, but entered into eternal sleep. Of course, in the eyes of many mortals, this is no different from death. ”

Eternal sleep means that the emperor will directly enter the end moment of the destruction of the world in this long sleep.

"If you want to say eternal sleep, you will definitely not be the only one who will be asleep at that time. By the end of the Age of Mythology, when the cosmic source power active in the atmosphere began to thin out, the gods would also fall into eternal sleep. ”

After all, the ancient snake is a creation god, who has experienced the evolution of his own universe and has rich experience: "Don't worry, a long sleep is nothing." Even though your empire is destroyed, you, as the main god, have civilization burned into the core of the world. When the empire is destroyed, the next source tide rises, and it will wake up again and re-establish its own civilization. ”

Is there a 10,000-year-old empire in the world?

Don't look at the rapid development of the Xia Kingdom at the moment, but in the eyes of the ancient snake, it will be ten thousand years at most. Ji Le's empire will be completely destroyed, and Ji Le, who has entered the stage of eternal sleep, because the imprint of the Zhuxia civilization is engraved in the root of the world. Perhaps tens of thousands of years later, another indigenous civilization rose, which happened to touch his spiritual imprint, allowing him to reawaken and build a new Zhuxia civilization.

"But even this kind of encounter, I am not happy. Ji Le clenched his fists, no matter what, he didn't want his fate to be like the future!

Since Zhao Zhiwen is about to refine into a Yang God, it is better to help him and help him achieve the Yang God and the Immortal Industry. ”
