Chapter 985: Heaven and Earth Are Unkind, Treating All Things as Dogs
As the Jade Emperor's leisurely sigh sounded, the atmosphere of the entire hall quietly rose with an indescribable meaning......
Long, heavy, sad?
Ding Ling looked at the Jade Emperor quietly, he knew...... The Jade Emperor still has something to say.
Sure enough, the Jade Emperor said softly: "Such a long time...... How can there not be several generations?"
Ding Ling was silent, and countless records of those prehistoric civilizations rose in his mind. So he said softly, "Atlantis?"
The Jade Emperor smiled lightly: "It's too close." ”
Ding Ling was stunned! Too close? This is all he can think of...... The oldest legend yet. Legend has it that these two lost continents were civilizations 10,000 years ago......
"Every rebirth of humanity comes at the cost of the complete demise of the old civilization. I...... It took thousands of eons to become a god, and during this period, I saw the rise and fall of human beings several times. ”
"A thousand eons?" Bai Susu exclaimed, "According to Buddhism...... One catastrophe is more than 10 million years, isn't that a thousand eons?"
Bai Crispy didn't finish speaking, because ...... Something is clearly wrong. Since the Jade Emperor said that he is also from the human world, and the earth is only more than 400 billion years old. A thousand eons are more than 10 billion years......
The Jade Emperor smiled slightly, and said softly to Bai Susu: "The calamity here refers to the time of the God Realm. ”
Ding Ling and Bai Crispy were stunned at the same time.
"Divine Realm?"
The Jade Emperor nodded, he raised his finger forward, and then with a flick of his finger, a starry sky appeared in the air.
The stars were shining, and the Jade Emperor casually tapped on one of the stars, and then ...... It's like clicking on Google Earth, and you're instantly in the sky above a planet. Then, the distance gradually narrowed, and I gradually saw the scene of that planet.
On the planet, a towering building with a dark metallic sheen stands on the planet, and further down, there are clusters of buildings that look like industrial areas.
The roofs of these complexes shine with a variety of red and purple sheen.
The Jade Emperor pointed his finger again, and his gaze returned to the void of the star field, and Ding Ling saw that when the Jade Emperor pointed to one of the bright lights, an extremely brilliant aura appeared in his line of sight.
This aura is too beautiful to describe in words.
It's just that in the center of the halo is pitch black.
Bai Shushu frowned: "This is?"
However, Ding Ling took a deep breath: "Black hole?"
"It is also the gate to the kingdom of God. The Jade Emperor said lightly, and then with a wave of his fingertips, the entire picture shrank into a whole star field again.
Ding Ling's gaze moved with the picture, and then he watched as the star field disappeared with the Jade Emperor's handshake.
At the moment of disappearing, he seemed to feel that this star field had some déjà vu. But soon he stopped his attention on the Jade Emperor, because the Jade Emperor had not yet given him an answer.
"The first catastrophe is the year of the kingdom of God, that is, the thousand years of the earth. Moreover, the so-called year in the fairy world is actually the time of the kingdom of God most of the time. ”
Bai Susu said softly: "Then you are the world...... Humans who existed millions of years ago...... One of them?"
"Yes. The world at that time...... It's actually similar to the current world. The Jade Emperor smiled lightly: "There are still wars everywhere, and it's not a race by race, nor is it a country by country, it's ...... One continent fights with another. ”
"At that time, the continent where we were located was called the Sunrise Continent, and the continent to the west...... Fought for thousands of years. At that time, it was not simply with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, but with all kinds of ultra-long-range artillery......"
Ding Ling and Bai Susu glanced at each other, and since the Jade Emperor spoke, the shock in their eyes had never disappeared.
But soon, the Jade Emperor changed the topic back: "So, I said, I am also from the human world. ”
Ding Ling nodded, agreeing with the Jade Emperor's words.
"So...... At the beginning, I didn't actually agree with Sanqing's opinion. ”
The Jade Emperor whispered, and as his words fell, the air in the entire hall became much warmer.
Ding Ling's eyes were also full of warmth when he looked at him, and the fifth princess clenched her hands even more, overflowing with joy.
She knew, Ding Ling...... As a representative of the world, he has always been a little hostile to his father...... But now, looking at Ding Ling's relieved expression, the biggest stone in her heart also fell.
However, the Jade Emperor's voice changed: "But, as an old man who has watched this world for millions of years...... The one qiē in the world is really just a snap of the fingers. ”
Ding Ling was slightly stunned.
The Jade Emperor asked softly, "How many years has the recorded history of your current world, and when did it begin?"
Ding Ling licked his lips, and although he was reluctant, he still replied in a dumb voice: "Three thousand years...... Thousands of years ago, it was all legends......"
The Jade Emperor then smiled: "Look, it's not even ten thousand years. Compared to millions of years, isn't it just a few fingers?"
Ding Ling sighed: "Yes." ”
The Jade Emperor said: "I seem to have heard such a sentence in the world: Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Isn't it?"
Ding Ling nodded honestly: "Yes." This...... Or the legendary Taishang Laojun said in the Tao Te Ching. ”
The Jade Emperor smiled slightly: "Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"
Ding Ling smiled bitterly, as a liberal arts student, how could he not know the meaning of this sentence?
"Heaven and earth are heartless and merciless, and all things are the same. ”
The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile: "Then do you think this sentence is correct?"
Ding Ling was slightly stunned, and after a moment...... He nodded again. Yes, the heavens and the earth were originally there, how could there be feelings? In front of the heavens...... Anyone, it's the same.
The Jade Emperor smiled: "In that case, why does Sanqing want to be 'benevolent'?"
As soon as the words fell, it was like a thunderbolt rising in Ding Ling's mind!
This famous saying...... It was Lao Tzu who said that Lao Tzu is Taishang Laojun, and he is the moral Tianzun in the Three Qings...... Could it be that this sentence of the Tao Te Ching was actually prepared for them at the beginning...... Someone else to foreshadow?
Ding Ling's mind quickly flashed the life record of Lao Tzu, and it seemed that ...... It was exactly 2,600 years ago.
And Mingyue also said that when she killed Heavenly Court, it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the world.
So, he took a deep breath, then shook his head firmly and said, "That's not right. ”
The Jade Emperor looked at him with interest: "Let's hear it." ”
Ding Ling exhaled slowly, he glanced up at the unreachable ceiling, and then closed his eyes.
Since...... Heaven and earth are merciless, so ...... Sanqing, what they represent, is it the supreme heaven?
He didn't know how to refute it......
At this moment, Bai Susu's voice sounded softly.
