Chapter Seventy-Eight: The History Books
Civilization is based on words and supported by strength.
Writing contains the knowledge of civilization and supports the development of civilization. No matter what kind of power, whether it is the self-righteous immortal path or the Shinto that is in harmony with the way, it needs its own power system to support the development of civilization. Even if it is a gathering of people to develop technology, this kind of technology can be regarded as a kind of power.
Technology is a tool of man, so spell is the tool of the transcendent.
Innate supernatural powers are the most of the things that every transcendent creature has, and some small supernatural powers are better to say, and those more unique supernatural powers cannot be learned through learning at all. And the innate supernatural powers are not the same as spells, so it is very difficult to learn supernatural powers.
You can know how to use the supernatural powers, but you may not know the subtleties behind the supernatural powers. Spells are different, and spells themselves evolved from the red book jade characters according to the laws of heaven and earth. Learning spells is like parsing the mysteries of the world.
The development of civilization was developed from such a little turning point, and this time it was Taiyi and the Five Emperors who unconsciously promoted the development of civilization. Because of the persecution of evil gods and demon gods, Taiyi and the Five Emperors derived the power contained in the red book and jade characters and turned it into a tool that the gods could use - spells.
As a priest of history in the past, Ling Yun has the ability to record history.
It stands to reason that every major historical turning point in the world will be recorded by him.
However, because Ling Yun's own priesthood is incomplete, this historical priesthood cannot interfere with too powerful existences, such as Taiyi and the Five Emperors, unless Ling Yun witnesses it with his own eyes, or if such an existence tells it personally, if he wants to record history by observing the past time, he will inevitably be disturbed and counterattacked.
The moment he witnessed the spell being taught by Taiyi and the Five Emperors, Ling Yun knew that the appearance of the spell had reached the conditions for opening civilization.
In the sea of knowledge, Lingyun's historical priesthood evolved into an old book (the small book mentioned above). The cover of the book is full of dust from ancient years, with a strong sense of historical heaviness.
The pages of the book are very strange, not ordinary paper, nor the paper of divine imitation, but the pages of the book composed of the time that make up the form of the book.
On the title page of the book, there are three thousand red calligraphy and jade characters floating in a period of time.
Ling Yun used his mind to stir the three thousand red texts, and the red texts flowed up and down, evolving into strange scenes in the history books.
As the page that recorded the spell appeared, the three thousand red texts suddenly began to circulate rapidly, and countless words were woven and intertwined, deducing scenes of history.
"It's ...... Epic?" Lingyun-like mind was immersed in the sea of knowledge, looking at the history books of the evolution of the historical priesthood, the red books and jade characters were intertwined and combined into an epic. Reading the epics composed of red books and jade characters, the epics record all the deeds of life that Ling Yun has seen and has never seen.
If the history book itself is a period of history recorded according to the timeline, which can be regarded as a historical record in the chronicle style, then the epic that evolved from the red book and jade characters is the historical record of the chronicle style. Every transcendent being, whether it is a god or an extraordinary intelligent being, will find his record in his history books.
Ling Yun looked at these epics with interest, some of them were very long, such as important gods, and some had a great impact on heaven and earth, such as Taiyi and the Five Emperors.
Ling Yun even saw his own records in the history books, and everything he had done in the past and present could be found in the history books, which was completely a Shinto version of the 'personal record file'.
However, because they are recorded from an objective perspective that is completely faithful to historical facts, without the slightest emotion, these epics are like long and boring novels, which make people feel extremely boring to read.
Looking at the historical book in the sea of knowledge, Ling Yun couldn't help but think: "Civilization is a collective composed of individual lives, running through everything with a timeline, recording life with a chronicle, and each life leaves its own rich and colorful stroke in history, is this the so-called history of civilization?"
The history of civilization is composed of such elements, and it cannot be denied that without intelligent life, the history of civilization cannot be called the history of civilization, but can only be regarded as the history of inorganic time!
After the gods dispersed, Taiyi and the Five Emperors were discussing how to deal with the evil gods and demon gods.
Emperor Qing turned his head and saw the very obvious distraction of his family god, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Qing Lingshi stretched out his hand and flicked it on Ling Yun's foreheadββ
"Ouch-" Ling Yun exclaimed in pain.
It's obviously a god's system, but under the hands of Qing Lingshi, it's like a mortal. The pain regained Ling Yun's attention: "Your Highness Lingshi, won't you call me well, you have to use this method!"
Glaring at his own lord god indignantly, Ling Yun was almost in despair of Qing Lingshi's bad taste(β―β΅β‘β²)β―(β»ββ».
Dan Lingzhen teased on the side: "Who told you to look stupid, who will you play if you don't play?"
He glared at Dan Lingzhen indignantly, and Hou Linghuang on the side smiled lightly and said nothing; Hao Linghuang's face was cold and hard, and he didn't say anything; Wu Lingxuan's eyes were deep, and his expression on his face was flat, as if he couldn't see clearly like a deep stream, and he couldn't see any expression.
"What were you thinking when you were so distracted just now?" Qing Lingshi always wore a warm smile, as if the person with the evil taste just now was not himself.
"Hmm!" Ling Yun shuddered to himself, and his seat cautiously moved away.
Stretching out his hand to summon the Divine Book of History, Ling Yun introduced the Divine Book to Taiyi and the Five Emperors: "Several His Highnesses also know that I have a historical priesthood, so I have evolved such a book that can record the history of the past according to my own priesthood. I call it the Book of History. β
Taiyi and the Fifth Emperor looked at the history book in Ling Yun's hand curiously, especially Taiyi, he clearly felt the fluctuation of time in the history book, which was a time that had been solidified. Among them, you can vaguely feel the extraordinaryness of the history books.
"In the past, the history I recorded was based on a timeline from the past to the present, with a line running through everything. β
After a pause, Ling Yun continued: "Just now, the history books have changed, and the red books and jade characters have evolved into words, deducing epics one after another, and almost all the intelligent lives in the flood have been recorded in them!"
Listening to Ling Yun's explanation, Taiyi and the Fifth Emperor glanced at Ling Yun in surprise, looking at the history book in his hand with deep interest.
Looking at the gazes of several people, Ling Yun handed the history book in his hand to the main god Qing Lingshi in his hand.
Taiyi and the Five Emperors circulated and looked at it in turn, and Taiyi looked through it slightly, and obviously saw his own epic record. Although it is not an exhaustive situation, it also provides a rough history of the past.
"What a great thing!" Qing Lingshi exclaimed at the history books, "but can your history books see the past history of all intelligent life?"
"No!" Ling Yun shook his head and said, "For example, the records of His Highness Lingshi are relatively detailed, and the other four Highnesses and His Highness Taiyi are only rough records. I can't record the gods who are stronger than me by observing the history of the past, I can only witness it with my own eyes, or they can tell their own past, otherwise I can only know about their existence, and everything else cannot be recorded. β
"Is that so?" Taiyi muttered, a few thoughts swirling in his heart, and Taiyi suddenly said to Ling Yun, "Can your history book record the evil gods and demon gods born in the past?"
