Chapter 174: Opportunity
It is not difficult to hear that the candle dragon shows extreme disdain for the so-called gods, as if in his eyes, those gods are like ants, and there is no respect in his tone.
Although I don't know the reason, but under the explanation of the candle dragon, we can roughly understand the essential difference between gods and immortals.
God is given by death, immortals are cultivated for life, and those who become gods are physically destroyed, leaving only the true spirit obsession, and they have no choice but to be named gods, while those who become immortals are successful in cultivation, and live with heaven and earth, and are at ease.
As we all know, the basis of a cultivator's cultivation is to absorb the aura between heaven and earth, and since this is the case, because the aura of Shenzhou has fallen into depletion, the remaining aura of Shenzhou is not enough to create a new immortal.
But God is different.
Because the cultivation of the gods is far from being comparable to that of immortals, the aura required to seal the gods is naturally far less than the aura required to become immortals, and because of this, even if the aura of the gods has been exhausted, the remaining aura is still enough to create a new god.
At the same time, we also have a faint guess about the protracted war in the mouth of the candle dragon.
Since Candle Dragon said that this war has prompted more gods to appear in order to maintain the peace of Shenzhou, it seems that the name of this war has already come out.
If we are not mistaken, this war must be the battle of the gods that has been widely spread in later generations.
It seems that there is no wind and no waves, and the myths and stories we have heard since childhood, although they are only legends adapted by countless people for thousands of years, there is no doubt that these stories must have an original source, and if there is no corresponding event, there will definitely be no corresponding legend left in the world.
It's just that the truth about the source of these stories has been ruthlessly buried over time, and we can only roughly guess about it, and in this day and age, no one knows what it is.
However, the candle dragon is naturally not among them, and for the candle dragon who has survived from the mythological era to the present, he must know everything that has happened.
It's just that we don't know, how much is Candle Dragon willing to reveal to us about these things?
Thinking of this, I not only became extremely interested in the legendary battle of the gods, but also looked at the candle dragon and asked tentatively.
"Senior, what is going on in that battle of the gods, listening to what you said, this war does not seem to be a simple battle between the two sides, but to promote the emergence of more gods in Shenzhou?"
"You're right, the battle of the gods, the battle of the gods, since the gods are in the front, it means that this battle is not important, what really matters is actually the gods."
Candle Dragon didn't hesitate to answer my question, but he didn't answer my question directly.
"But again, the time has not yet come, and it is not the right opportunity for you to explain this matter, you just need to know that the battle of the gods is far from as simple as you think, and when the opportunity is right, someone will naturally tell you the truth."
Since the candle dragon has no intention of explaining to us, then we naturally have no other way, so we can only watch him helplessly and don't know what to say.
And in our helpless expressions, the candle dragon smiled faintly, he changed the topic again, and continued to talk about the topic just now.
"The reason why I mention this to you is not simply to arouse your curiosity, but that this matter has a certain connection with what I said earlier, and although I cannot give you a satisfactory explanation at the moment, it is not harmful to reveal a little bit about some things."
"At the time of the Xia Dynasty, the spiritual energy of Shenzhou was exhausted and entered the era of the end of the law, and at the same time, Emperor Yu came out of the mountain again and gathered cultivators from all over the world together, there is no doubt that it is not ordinary people who can be selected by Emperor Yu, and all those who can participate in this discussion can already be called the so-called immortals by you."
"And the final result you should have guessed, although Emperor Yu summoned so many capable people, but in the end it did not solve the problem of the depletion of Shenzhou's spiritual energy, not only that, these capable people and strangers eventually even disappeared together, and there was no trace of immortals in the land of Shenzhou from then on."
In our confused and curious expressions, the candle dragon's tone slowly became serious, and his expression began to become more upright.
"And in fact, the original Emperor Yu was not completely unable to solve the depletion of Shenzhou's aura, and the reason why the aura in later generations was not improved was actually done intentionally by Emperor Yu!"
"Although I can't tell you why Emperor Yu is like this for the time being, I can confirm to you that the reason why Emperor Yu made such a decision was not because of personal selfishness, but because of a better future for Shenzhou."
"And just after Shenzhou officially entered the era of the end of the law, there were no more immortals in the world, because the human race at that time was far from growing to the point it is now, so many problems could not be dealt with by the human race itself, and it was under such circumstances that the protracted war of the gods broke out."
"The specific process of the War of the Gods is not convenient for me to go into detail now, but after the end of the War of the Gods, there were three hundred and sixty-five more Qingfu Righteous Gods in heaven and earth, and it was with the help of these so-called Qingfu Righteous Gods that the human race was able to overcome many difficulties and slowly develop to today's scale."
"Senior, since you obtained the Mandate of Heaven for ten thousand years, you have told us about Emperor Yu's request, Chiyou's decision, the difference between gods and immortals, the turning point of Shenzhou's spiritual energy depletion, and the true meaning of that battle of the gods, but until now, we still don't know, what do you want to say to us?"
Perhaps because he was worried that he was still in Shangshan Xuan at the moment, Ling Xuan's expression was obviously a little relieved after hearing this, and he was so anxious that he even blurted out the doubts in his heart to Candle Dragon.
"Senior, I know that you want us to have a clearer understanding of what happened back then, and let us know what efforts our ancestors made for the peace of Shenzhou, but after all, these things have been too long and too long since now, even if we know everything back then, what is the significance of it now?"
For Ling Xuan's anxious appearance, the candle dragon did not show any disgust, on the contrary, the candle dragon's expression at this time was calm, and he showed great understanding of Ling Xuan's reaction.
"There are some things that I will never say to you until the right time comes, but in the meantime, there are other things that may not have been the case in the future if I had not told you them all today."
