Chapter 40: The Era
The endless void cannot be measured at all, everything is empty, and when all kinds of substances are slowly produced, various subtle changes begin, and the world begins to form, this era is called the Hongyuan era, which can also be said to be the Hongyuan era.
Since the Hongyuan era, it has successively experienced the era of Chaoyuan, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, Chaos, Jiugong, Yuan Huang, and Tianhuang.
In the early era, the heavens and the earth were opened up, the universe was formed, and the original creatures were various gods synthesized by the essence of heaven and earth, and many primeval gods were born at the very beginning of the primordial era, and in the late primordial era, there were human beings, that is, primeval humans.
If we divide it according to the primeval, antiquity, and middle ages, the Taisu era is the ancient era, and the emperor era is the medieval era.
Zhou Snake Stick slowly spoke about the division of epochs and eras, just like a magnificent history of cosmic evolution, from the birth of the universe to the formation of living beings, page by page slowly opened, presented in front of Xu Qingfeng and Chun Ruoshui.
But this is more detailed and vivid than the annals of history, because Zhou Snake Stick has walked all the way down from the primeval era, through various eras, all eras, this is his experience, this is his life.
What could be more detailed and truthful than the history told by those who witnessed it?
There are many ancient secrets, not only Xu Qingfeng has never heard of them, but even Chun Ruoshui has never heard others talk about them, and he has never seen them in ancient books.
The two of them were thrilled to hear it, and all kinds of things in that era were so fascinating.
Xu Qingfeng asked, "Senior, in the Hongyuan era, was there really no living beings in the void?"
Zhou Snake Stick smiled hesitantly: "Boy, this question is a good question." But did I say that there are no living beings in the void? I am talking about the existence of living beings after the birth of the universe, and I am only talking about this universe, and our universe is just a drop in the ocean in the void, as for whether there are living beings in the void, how does the old man know, and the old man has never been outside the universe. ”
This is also true, the era that Zhou Snake Stick talked about is all about this universe, and there is no mention of things outside the universe at all.
"Senior, after the Pangu Great God opened up the heavens and the earth in the primordial era, did he really transform himself into all things in the heavens and the earth?"
Zhou Snake Stick leaned forward in front of Xu Qingfeng, showed an intriguing smile, blinked his eyes and said, "Boy, isn't there a legend of Pangu opening the world?
Xu Qingfeng always felt that Zhou Snake's words were a little meaningful, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, and continued to ask with some reluctance: "Legend has it that the ancient gods are all gone......
Zhou Snake Stick didn't wait for Xu Qingfeng to finish speaking, he sat up straight, and said very seriously: "This old man can tell you for sure, and very responsibly, that the ancient gods are all dead, this is a true fact, and the old man knows that you want to ask, since the ancient gods are dead, why is the old man still alive until now? But is the old man a god?"
Xu Qingfeng said with some puzzlement: "Isn't the predecessor still an ancient god?
"Then you said that the old man is the god, what is the god honorific name?"
"This ......", Xu Qingfeng was suddenly a little speechless, he really didn't know that Zhou Snake Stick was the ancient god!
Zhou Snake Stick smiled and said: "You can't say it, right? You see that there are thunder gods, fire gods, water gods, and even mountain gods and river gods, but there are no stick gods." ”
Xu Qingfeng wanted to laugh inexplicably when he heard the word stick god, just like the god stick and the snake stick, it often made people think of other funny things.
"Since the old man doesn't even have the title of god, he can only be regarded as an ordinary primeval creature, besides, the old man doesn't make trouble, doesn't have many troubles, and doesn't fight to win, just take care of himself, and never pay attention to the outside affairs, so why can't the old man live until now?"
"Senior, are you saying that if you ignore everything and ignore anything, you can live a long life?" Xu Qingfeng was a little puzzled.
"Of course!" Zhou Snake Stick looked as a matter of course, "You look at those mountains and rocks, they are motionless, and they don't care about what is happening outside, as long as the heavens and the earth do not change, and they are not destroyed by man, you have passed thousands of years, and then you go to see the mountains and rocks, it is still intact and stays there, you compare the human race and other races, which race can live longer than the mountains and rocks?"
After Xu Qingfeng listened to Zhou Snake's words, he suddenly fell into deep contemplation.
What Zhou Snake Stick said, is it really like that?
It seems to be, but it doesn't seem to be, and it seems to mean something else!
Chun Ruoshui listened quietly on the side, and didn't make a sound, and after seeing Xu Qingfeng not speaking, he finally asked: "Senior, just now you said that you are not a god, if it is a god, will you not be able to live now?"
Zhou Snake Stick smiled with satisfaction: "I didn't expect the little girl to be a smart person, and she asked the real key to the question." In fact, it is not that the gods cannot live until now, the main thing is that the gods are born in response to heaven and earth, and their lifespan is closely related to heaven and earth.
Of course, these are all about the primeval birth gods, as for the ancients, the Middle Ages, these gods, just like the old man said earlier, love trouble, love many things, like the king and hegemony, so how can the life span be long? Just like Taiyi, he is still a descendant of the ancient gods! But since he was a child, he has a violent temper and is ambitious, and you tell the old man that he has long ceased to exist, which is not at all expected by the old man.
In addition, as a deity, it is important to see what kind of deity he is, what authority he holds on behalf of heaven and earth, and what rules he wants to exercise. ”
There are a lot of things that Zhou Snake Stick said, Xu Qingfeng is difficult to understand in a short period of time, but he is not worried, he is still very young, with his own growth, after the experience of life is rich, there are some things, sooner or later, the most important thing is to absorb more knowledge, especially this kind of ancient secrets that cannot be heard at all outside.
However, Zhou Snake Stick is only more familiar with the things of the ancient times, and he is completely unfamiliar with the things that follow, but fortunately, there is spring Ruoshui, she has some understanding of the later years, of course, this is also a record she got from ancient books.
The reason why Zhou Snake Stick is not familiar with the later eras, but because of his deep sleep, he missed these eras, in the early days, each era needed hundreds of millions of trillion years to end, but as the universe evolved more and more perfectly, the time between each era became shorter and shorter, especially the era of the Kyushu Great World, and later it could no longer be called by the era, but only by the era, and these eras were often only separated by tens of thousands of years, or even thousands of years.
Speaking of which, Zhou Snake Stick also has to thank Xu Qingfeng, if Xu Qingfeng hadn't found the "Thunder Classic", I am afraid that Zhou Snake Stick would have to sleep until the Kyushu Great World was shattered, so that he could wake up from the void.
Regarding the Kyushu World, Xu Qingfeng also learned for the first time that the world he lived in was called Kyushu World.
The reason why the big world is called Kyushu is because the big world was originally made up of nine states, and each state is a world.
Thinking back to the great world of Kyushu back then, the vast and vast territory, the convergence of all directions, the prosperity and prosperity, is the sacred place that all the monks of the heavens and all the worlds yearn for.
No one remembers the names of the original Kyushu, and now there are only four states left, and each state has been shattered to the size of a single planet.
There are countless worlds in the universe, and there are countless planets in the world.
The territory is broken, the prosperity has faded, the world of Kyushu has long been forgotten by the heavens and all the worlds, and the only thing that can be remembered is the creatures living under the sky of Kyushu.
Chun Ruoshui told Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Snake Stick that the four surviving states in the Kyushu Great World are now named according to their directions, divided into east, west, south and north states, but the center of the world is in the eastern state, which is also called Shenzhou, which means that it is the birthplace of the original gods in this universe.
The land of Shenzhou is the oldest and most mysterious state, unlike the other three states that are adjacent to each other, the land of Shenzhou is not directly adjacent to any of the states at present, it is still separated from the other three states, there are still many spaces, ordinary people can't go to it at all, only cultivators can go there.
Why did the Eastern State dare to claim to be a Divine State, and also dare to claim to be the birthplace of the original gods of this universe!
Zhou Snake Stick is very clear, because the Kyushu World is the first world to be formed in this universe, and all the ancient gods and spirits were born from this world, including Zhou Snake Stick himself, which was born from the Shenzhou of the Kyushu World, so there will be so many beautiful ancient legends left in the Kyushu World, so it is not an exaggeration to call the Eastern State Shenzhou.
Could it be that it is because the Kyushu World is the oldest state that it will be the first to be destroyed?
When Xu Qingfeng raised this question, Zhou Snake Stick was very angry!
I don't know where his anger comes from, why he is angry!
"Fool! Whoever says the oldest will be the first to be destroyed, and whoever is born early will die early? The life span of the universe is almost infinite, and it will never end easily for no reason! This is the original birthplace of the universe!"
After Zhou Snake Stick finished his anger, his tone began to be sad again.
"God doesn't bless me Kyushu! Woo hoo mourn!
Heaven does not refer to the heavens of Kyushu, but the heavens of this universe!
Why doesn't God bless Kyushu, isn't Kyushu the first world in the universe to be born?
If the creatures of the Kyushu world regard the Kyushu world as their mother, then in the same way, the Kyushu world also regards this universe as their own mother.
The children of Kyushu do not dislike their mothers, but the mother of the universe dislikes the eldest son of Kyushu!
No wonder the snake stick screams!
Zhou Snake Stick's mood has changed so much, and it is also because of the changes in Kyushu that make him sad and sad, after all, he is a creature born from Kyushu, just like the children of Kyushu, watching his mother, slowly aging, and finally passing away, the grief in his heart can't be controlled.
Xu Qingfeng is also a child of Kyushu, but until today, he didn't know that this world is called Kyushu World, and he lives under the dome of Kyushu, but because he only knew it just now, he is inevitably a little alienated and unfamiliar, and he can't understand Zhou Snake's mood for the time being.
Note: All the divisions of the epochs are taken from the "Open Heaven Classic", with slight additions and changes.
