Chapter 1: What Is Destiny?
Ancient books contain: "The upper and lower four directions are said to be the universe, and the past is called the present." ”
The mysteries of space and time are in the universe.
After Ji Zhao slept from the Void Heavenly Realm, his soul turned into white points of light like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and the points of light entered the bottom of the world along the chain of rules he had mastered.
If reality is the finished game, here is an endless list of underlying programs.
The sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers, plants and trees, life and death, withering and glory are all born and destroyed in them.
In Ji Zhao's eyes, there are no majestic mountains or surging rivers here, and there are only regular divine chains that shimmer with various colors of divine light.
Criss-crossed, complex but not cluttered, only the beauty of harmony and order is filled with it.
The halo expands along the divine chain, changing color three times in an instant.
The forces of the surrounding chaos also began to have a trajectory, and wisps of light rays revealed along the halo, converging towards the central point.
After Ji Zhao's soul appeared here, the system came with news that had not been seen for a long time.
[The origin of the world, the mother of all things, the truth of the world, finally appears in front of your eyes. 】
A rare piece of news, with a sense of emotion.
The formless and insubstantial Ji Zhao explored his divine consciousness towards the surrounding regular divine chains, opening up the ripples of the Dao, as if he had thrown a stone into the water.
His goal was to find out what the Heavenly Destiny Purple Qi that appeared on the grassland represented.
His purpose was to find out what effect the Heavenly Destiny Purple Qi that he had used the Heavenly Rank Artifact to counteract had played.
What is that kind of call to oneself in the dark?
So here he is.
Human beings live in eternal space-time, but in the lowest-level structure of the world, the concept of space-time is born.
Every moment here may be long, it may be short, and even time will return.
Spacetime has no meaning here.
But Ji Zhao is going to return to reality, and for Luo's, time is meaningful.
So Ji Zhao made time flow backwards, just like a river rushing to the east and never returning!
He was immersed in it, moving along every chain of rules, like searching for a thin book in a vast library.
Ji Zhao saw someone born and someone died on the rule chain, which is the rule in charge of life and death.
He saw people getting married and separating, and that was the rule governing marriage.
What about Destiny?
Ji Zhao swept from the bottom to the top one by one, and finally stopped in front of a huge pillar that almost ran through the entire world of rules.
From above, he saw the scene when he used the Heavenly Rank Artifact, and he saw the scene where the Mandate of Heaven was canceled.
What kind of destiny is that?
What it represents is not just as simple as the Sima family becoming the Son of Heaven, but the decline of the Central Plains!
A piece of information entered Ji Zhao's mind.
[The general trend of the world, like the tide, rises and falls, both prosperity and decline.
Since ancient times, there has never been a civilization that has been resting on its laurels and thriving forever.
Since ancient times, there has never been a civilization that has been able to prosper like the sun.
The development of a great civilization always has to go through a process of vigorous development, full of ills, self-doubt, reshaping of consciousness, and revival of civilization. 】
[The vast and lonely grassland is like a weed, and the Hu people are forever cut down, master, have you ever thought about why you keep killing them? 】
If it was Ji Zhao who had just crossed over, he would naturally not be able to guess, but now Ji Zhao can see it very clearly.
His gaze fell on a chain of regular gods, where the process of the formation of the grassland Hu people was placed.
How many Hu people are there in the grassland?
After 1,300 years of war, it has long been lost, but why has it emerged one after another for so many years?
Because the people of the Central Plains can only graze and live a nomadic life when they reach the grassland, it will not be long before they become Hu people.
Only the Yan Kingdom, which had been organized from the very beginning, was able to maintain its own civilizational characteristics.
Some of the thousands of points of light in Ji Zhao's incarnation actually began to flicker, and his eyes froze, and he immediately realized something.
In ethnic discrimination, there are many people who hold the "one drop of blood" theory, that is, only identify with the sex chromosomes of the paternal line, but this statement is essentially equivalent to admitting that "your mother is gone" and "people only have reproductive organs".
From a scientific point of view, people have 46 chromosomes, and half of them will be passed on continuously, not just the sex chromosomes.
The Y chromosome occupies only 46 percent of the human genes, and the impact of this small number of genes on people is negligible.
Moreover, in the process of inheritance, these 46 chromosomes will also experience accidents, such as exchange, deletion, and mutation.
That is, the so-called eternal Y chromosome in many people's mouths may also be composed of two or more paternal lines.
All the ideologies of Ji Zhao are, of course, the ideologies of the Huaxia or Han people.
But the light that appeared on him proved that he subconsciously understood that he was a descendant of national integration.
After these hundreds of years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Han people of the Tang Dynasty and the Han people of the Han Dynasty were quite different.
Ji Zhao understood all this, but he became more and more calm, as if he was telling the whole world, and as if he was saying to himself: "People live in the world because of the existence of souls."
Nation exists because of cognition.
Countless traversal history is changing the chaos of Wuhu, changing the shame of Jingkang, and changing the overthrow of Shenzhou, is it because you don't understand those big truths?
Because that's what we recognize.
Just as I am a Han Chinese, I have a natural inclination to accept those who are willing to take refuge in my Zhuxia, but I cannot allow forcible integration through violence.
Even if the Tang Dynasty that has been fused is really at its peak, it is my dream country.
I don't recognize such rules! ”
Ji Zhao has already understood everything, he is indeed counteracting the existence of the Mandate of Heaven, but what he is counteracting is the Mandate of Heaven of the Central Plains.
That is, the destiny of the decline of the Central Plains.
This kind of countervailing the Mandate of Heaven is not just as simple as the Sima family not being the emperor, after all, the world is very different today, and even if the Sima family usurps the throne, it will not cause so much harm.
That is, man-made disasters can be solved by countless people with lofty ideals in the world.
The true function of the Heavenly Rank Artifact is to avoid many natural disasters that should be brought down.
According to the operation of the world mechanism, in the last years of the dynasty, natural disasters came.
Today's Central Plains land should be full of wind and thunder, floods and droughts are endless, snowfall in the north is not stopped, earth dragons everywhere are turned over more than once, and even plagues are rampant, and the people are not one out of ten.
No matter how talented you are, you can't solve such a natural disaster.
Not even Rock's can handle this kind of thing.
This is not deliberately the case by the world mechanism, but every few hundred years.
In the land of Zhuxia, there has never been a year since ancient times when there has been no disaster.
Disasters occur more intensively every few hundred years.
For example, during the famous Chongzhen period, what is the appearance of the dead country?
Every year, there are a large number of natural disasters, which are called the appearance of the dead country.
When he learned all this, Ji Zhao knew that this heaven-level artifact was worth it.
As long as the natural disasters can be reduced by half, the protection of the whole world is extremely high.
But it's not enough.
[The Heavenly Rank Artifact is precious and abnormal, please don't use it again. 】
The system suddenly sent out a rare message of this tone.
Ji Zhao knows why.
Since the pre-Han Dynasty, the Mandate of Heaven has been two, one in the pre-Han and one in the Xiongnu.
The Mandate of Heaven flourished in the Han Dynasty, creating one of the most prosperous and longest-lasting prosperous eras in the history of Zhuxia, and has been deeply blessed to this day.
The Mandate of Heaven of the Xiongnu was dealt with in succession.
Starting from Luo Ling and Han Xin, all the way to Luo Wujian and Huo Quai, who are lucky people, and finally Luo Shi filled it with his life.
Vanish!
What is the destiny of the grassland?
That's Hu Yun Prosperity!
The Hu people want to gradually become a truly civilized country from a savage who drinks the blood of Maoru.
Of course, this kind of civilization leap is based on the Zhuxia civilization.
This Mandate of Heaven should have flourished a long time ago, but it was suppressed for two hundred years, and then it collided head-on with the era when the Mandate of Heaven of the Prairie was truly prosperous.
This Mandate of Heaven has been brewing for too long, and the power contained in it will be devastating.
Destiny has too many ways to make the grasslands grow strong quickly.
For example, an endless stream of geniuses will appear like mushrooms after a rain.
There are many super geniuses among the Hu people, and there are many military generals in Wenchen, Ji Zhao does not deny this.
It is precisely because of this that the system is worried that Ji Zhao will use the Heavenly Rank prop again, because on the surface, there is no way to stop the rise of the grassland except this method.
But Ji Zhao doesn't think so.
On the surface, the grassland has a mandate of heaven, but the Central Plains does not, which is equivalent to the opening of the grassland and the fight of the Central Plains.
Especially now that the princes of the Central Plains are fighting, and they want to work together to conquer the grassland, it is a dream.
The Central Plains was further weakened.
But Ji Zhao didn't think that the Central Plains would lose, because the Central Plains Luo.
Even if the grassland is hung by the mandate of heaven, the Central Plains has always had a Luo's hanging, and they are hanging with each other, and it is not certain who wins and who loses.
The mandate of heaven cannot be violated, but Luo's can be disobeyed as long as he pays enough sacrifice and blood.
And Ji Zhao himself.
He has more important things!
He had insight into the rules of the Mandate of the Prairie, but as he had previously said, he did not agree with this bloody method of ethnic integration.
The Mandate of Heaven in the late Han Dynasty has fallen, and he can't turn things around, he can only let Luo's resist everything that follows.
But the past cannot be recovered, but the future can be changed, and there will be two real overturns of Shenzhou in the future, which is the fall of heaven and the disaster of civilization.
After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the cultural prosperity was extremely inclusive, and the feudal Tang Dynasty was extreme, but what about the remaining two times?
Dark, ignorant, backward, it is not an exaggeration to put all negative evaluations on it.
How could Ji Zhao watch all this happen in the future?
Do you have to use a heaven-level artifact to change it every time?
Then the number of heaven-level artifacts in his hand may not be enough, so he can only solve the problem from the root.
Ji Zhao's gaze fell on a rule divine pillar that penetrated the sky and the earth, it was the Heavenly Mandate Divine Pillar, like a pillar that had lifted up the world, standing majestically in the world of rules.
On the top of the heavenly pillar, there are countless regular patterns flashing with five-colored divine light, and countless words emitting yellow, blue, and red light fly up and down around the heavenly pillar, piercing in and out, like butterflies flying in a thousand flowers.
The rules of the Grassland Mandate of Heaven are on this pillar of heaven, and all the development of reality is produced according to these rules, if this pillar disappears, then the generation of the Mandate of Heaven of the grassland will disappear.
It's like a law that says that killing someone pays for life, and if you kill someone and get caught, you will die, but now that the law is gone, you don't need to die if you kill someone.
The rules for the rise of the grassland destiny are here, and the grassland will rise again and again in order to complete the mission given to it by the rules.
But if this rule disappears, it will be like the Central Plains that now has no mandate of heaven, each according to his ability.
This kind of atmosphere of each relying on his own ability has been created by Ji Zhao, if each can still lose by relying on his ability, then Luo's is really a joke.
Once Ji Zhao made up his mind, he immediately gave it to implement, and he didn't know when he would be able to break this rule.
I saw endless divine light burst out from the depths of his soul, and then the rule world began to shake slowly, and Ji Zhao only felt that his origin was trembling.
Then, the heavens came!
Ji Zhao hadn't seen the sky descend for a long time, and the sky didn't have the slightest emotion, it just sent a message to Ji Zhao, that is, the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, and the whole world would collapse.
Especially now that the world is still developing, removing the pillar of heaven is not stingy in removing the spine of a person, and there is no other ending than death.
The heavens are not lying!
But Ji Zhao secretly felt that the result would not be as bad as Cang Tian said.
Then a message came from the sky again.
I see!
Ji Zhao finally understood the contradictory but reasonable reason.
In ancient legends, Buzhou Mountain supported the sky, but the co-workers broke Buzhou Mountain, so the heaven and earth overturned, which is just like Ji Zhao's behavior of destroying the Heavenly Pillar now.
The creation goddess Nuwa mended the heavens, and then used the limbs of the turtle to re-support the heavens, so that the heavens and the earth were balanced again.
It's not that the pillar can't be pumped, but it needs to have a new support.
In this world of self-reliance, who else is qualified to support the entire world except Ji Zhao?
This is the message that Cangtian sent to Ji Zhao.
If Ji Zhao wants to change what he doesn't want to see in the future, then he has to become a part of the world and become a pillar of heaven and earth.
He will be subject to more restrictions, and now it really depends on whether the children and grandchildren are trustworthy.
How will Ji Zhao choose?
Without the slightest thought, Ji Zhao's soul followed his subconscious and turned into a ray of light and threw himself into the heavenly pillar.
Man exists because of consciousness.
What I want, I'm willing to give everything for.
When Ji Zhao threw himself into the Heavenly Pillar, the Heavenly Will slowly dissipated, and the Heavenly Pillar began to shake wildly.
[The Tao and the heavens, the body and the Tao are together, the supreme and noble, and it has flourished since then. 】
The sound of the system is no longer mechanical, but full of Taoist sounds, as if coming from the depths of a long time.
"I see, I see, this is the path I should take in the second millennium, and I almost missed it."
Ji Zhao's laughter came from the darkness, he hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time.
