Chapter 7 [Revisiting the Legend of Pandora]
"The legend of Pandora's box, it is rumored that Pandora was the first human 'female' created by Zeus, mainly to take revenge on humans. Because Prometheus, one of the gods, cared too much about humans, he provoked Zeus. Zeus first ordered the god of fire, Haphitas, to use the synthesis of water and soil to stir up the 'mix' and make a lovely 'woman' in the image of the 'female' god; then ordered the 'female' god of love and beauty, Aphrodite, to sprinkle the 'excited' element that makes men crazy; the 'female' god Athena taught the 'female' to weave cloth and make beautiful clothes of various 'colors' to make the 'female' person look more 'colorful' and 'charming'; after completing all the formalities, Zeus sent the envoy god Hamis to say: 'Put in your cunning, deceiving, cheating, and stealing 'sex'!" A complete 'woman' is finally finished. The gods dressed her in clothes, and wore a rabbit hat on her head, and her necklace was beaded, and she was as beautiful as a bride. Hames came up with the idea and said, 'Call this 'woman' Pandora, a gift from the gods to mankind. The gods agreed with his advice. ”
"When Zeus was fighting for the gods, he was able to ascend to the throne with the help of Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus. Prometheus' name means "foresight." His brother Epimetheus means "regret", so the style of the two brothers is the same as their name, with the characteristics of "foresight" and "regret". After Pandora was created, it was given to Epimetheus under the arrangement of Zeus. Because he knew that Prometheus would not accept a gift from him, he gave it to Epimetheus in the first place. And Epimetheus accepted her, and at the time of the wedding, Zeus ordered the gods to put a gift in a box and give it to Pandora as a gift. And whether the gifts of the gods are good or bad is unknown. ”
"Epimetheus's brother Prometheus warned Epimetheus long ago not to accept gifts from Zeus, especially 'female' people, because 'female' people are dangerous animals. Epimetheus, as his name suggests, began to regret not long after marrying Pandora. Pandora gave birth to seven sons to Epimetheus, but after Pandora gave birth to his sons, Zeus sealed them in a box called "Pandora's Box". Pandora was so angry that she secretly opened the box to see her son. As soon as he saw it, his first six sons flew out, their names were greed, killing, fear, pain, sickness, and desire. Since then, there have been many disasters in the world, but Pandora's seventh son is called Hope. Although people are suffering from greed, killing, fear, pain, disease, and 'desire', people do not flinch because they still have hope!"
This is the legend of Pandora, which is recorded in the texts. Jin Nan slowly exhaled and said.
Although Lin Tao had already heard Jiang Wubian talk about this story from the beginning, he still felt shocked at the moment. But what Lin Tao didn't know was that this legend was actually not widely spread on the Izumo Continent, and it would only be spread among people at the top of the continent.
"Legends are just legends after all, but the world of Pandora's Box is a magical and magnificent world, which is rumored to have been created by a powerful god in ancient times, who combined his lifelong understanding of all the laws into a square to form an object called the Rule-Proto. The rule primordial body is the root of all things in the Pandora's Box world, which determines the rise and fall of this world, and limits the time, space, and gravity here. Since the creation of this Pandora's box world, the god has been very excited to tell his friends that this is an almost perfect world, and he has even improved his sense of the law by creating such a world, and has been promoted to a high god. ”
Jin Nan slowly said the information he got from that ancient book word for word, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the white-clothed Dou Sheng with a wry smile, "The ancient book has been broken since here, and the parchment behind it has been torn by someone, judging from the traces of the broken part, it should have been torn off by the author himself." And I don't know how long this book has been around, and with the passage of time, the missing part may have long since ceased to exist. The information that Wutong and I got was that there was only a primordial rule here, and out of a thirst for rules, we came here. ”
It can be seen that what Jin Nan said is not like a lie, so the white-clothed Dou Sheng can't help but scratch his head, originally thought that he could find a little bit of introduction to this guardian formation from the ancient books, but he didn't expect it to be such a situation. But now that he has come here, no matter how weird and powerful this guardian formation is, there is absolutely no reason to give up. The white-clothed Dou Sheng knew that the opportunity was only this once, and if he didn't seize it, when it slipped away, he would inevitably regret it.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, even if it doesn't describe, I don't believe that I can't break it." With that, he led the way to the formation platform.
——————————————————————————————
At this moment, on the platform, five glass-like circular spheres are still standing quietly, as if they have not moved for millions of years, the 'wave' light circulating on the circle is very peaceful, and the runes drawn on the surface of the regular original body are solemn, and after the fusion of the two, it looks very incongruous.
Taking a deep breath, the white-clothed Dou Sheng slowly walked onto the formation platform, and between the shuttles, he was about to touch a straight line of the pentagram formation.
"Poof!"
"Bang!"
Just when the white-clothed Dou Sheng touched the fiery red 'colored' ball, a huge sound suddenly exploded, and the startled Lin Tao and the three of them retreated. Although the white-clothed Dou Sheng's right hand was on the fiery red 'color' ball, his expression looked very grim, and after a while, it turned to pain, and his palm began to "rattle", and a white smoke suddenly came out. But even so, the white-clothed Dou Sheng did not give up, his heart for the need for the original body of the rules was extremely firm, and he would never allow him to give up.
The sound of "呑呑" kept sounding, and the sound of burning skin could be faintly heard, and the three of Lin Tao who listened to it all felt their scalps numb, and the feeling of being burned by fire could be imagined. As time slowly passed, the right hand of the white-clothed Dou Sheng had turned from white to red......
When there was a burst of scorching smell, the white-clothed Dou Sheng roared wildly, he couldn't bear it anymore, and his entire body was repelled four or five steps before stopping.
After snorting coldly, the white-clothed Dou Sheng looked at his scorched right hand with an unwilling face, and tore off the necrotic skin mercilessly, and said hatefully: "Hmph, the guardian formation of this rule primordial body is really very powerful, and a single fire element guardian actually contains such a terrifying fire element fighting qi, if you add the fighting energy of water, earth, darkness, and light, and then connect it to this pentagram formation pattern, I am afraid that the power will only be ten times greater." It's such a big deal, it is worthy of being arranged by the superior god himself, such a formation is not something that can be destroyed by manpower at all, even if the peak powerhouse of the fighting god comes. Oh, maybe there's another way, and that's to find all five Doushen powerhouses who major in different elemental fighting qi to come and break it together. ”
Lin Tao and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard the white-clothed Dou Sheng's words, and found five Doushen powerhouses who majored in different elements to break the formation together? Where is it so simple and easy? Not to mention whether there are still five Doushen powerhouses on this Izumo Continent, even if they are afraid that they don't know which deep mountain corner they are hiding in and don't care about the world. Of course, if there are Fighting God powerhouses who know about the existence of this rule, they will definitely come to fight, but who can guarantee that they won't fight? It's just that since then, what is the matter with Lin Tao and the others? In front of the Fighting God powerhouse, even the white-clothed Dou Sheng has no part to speak, let alone them.
The white-clothed Dou Sheng stared at the pentagram formation in front of him with a calm face, his eyes didn't turn for a moment, obviously he was constantly thinking about a way to break the formation in his heart. However, this formation was so powerful, with only one fire elemental guard, he couldn't deal with it, let alone break the formation. "Do you really want to spread the news of this rule primordial body, and attract those old monsters to join hands to break the formation?" As soon as such a thought popped up in his mind, the white-clothed Dou Sheng ruthlessly smashed it. "No, absolutely impossible, I worked hard to stand in front of the original body of the rules, how many years I have waited for today, how many hardships I have endured, how can I say give up and give up. Hmph, what will happen to me after those old monsters come? Today, no matter what, I must get the rule primordial, even if I am seriously injured, as long as I don't die, after having it, I can definitely set foot in the Fighting God Realm within twenty years, and then I will become the youngest Fighting God in the entire Izumo Continent!"
The white-clothed Dou Sheng's face was uncertain, obviously he was doing a fierce fighter in his heart, Lin Tao and the others were not easy to disturb, and they were also thinking about all the possibilities of breaking the formation in their minds. It's just that they also know very well that they are afraid that this possibility of 'sex' is very small, since the strength of the white-clothed Dou Saint is helpless, let alone them.
The next moment, the voice of the white-clothed Dou Saint came again, "I major in Light Fighting Qi, this time I'll try if I can break through this Light Guard." With that, he walked straight to the side of the white 'colored' ball of light, and his left hand instantly pasted the surface of the light guardian orb.
Suddenly, a burst of white light in the sky was 'confused', and the white light was like a sharp long blade with a sharp handle, constantly slashing on the right hand of the white-clothed Dou Sheng. In the flow of light, the white-clothed Dou Sheng's face became extremely pale, but fortunately, this time he lasted a lot longer than just now. However, a moment later, he was relentlessly repulsed again.
In this way, the white-clothed Dou Sheng's face 'color' is even more unsightly, although he majored in light fighting qi, and his cultivation can be said to be at the peak, but after guarding the light, he still fell into the disadvantage. At first, I was able to hold on for a while, but the time was abnormally declining, and it fell short.
