Create a world of low martial arts from ancient times

"Six-eared macaque? What six-eared macaque?" The Great Celestial Venerable observes the world and the heavens, including the sacred Buddhist mountains, the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Tushita Palace, the Miluo Palace, the Biyou Palace, and all the blessed lands created by the great gods. None of them can escape his divine eyes.

Ultimately, it landed on Flower and Fruit Mountain in Aolai Country of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Beside the naturally formed stone spirit, there was a six-eared macaque muttering and saying a lot of strange things.

"So there are such wicked monsters out there, committing such heinous acts!" the Great Heavenly Venerable said indignantly.

Seeing His demeanor, Luo Zu said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, how do you intend to punish this? Shall we unleash more lightning to strike this monster to death?"

The Great Celestial Venerable waved his hand: "No need for such trouble, just ignore it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu suddenly wondered if the Great Celestial Venerable before him was an imposter.

Or perhaps He is merely a Great Celestial Venerable, not His Majesty the Eastern Emperor?

"Why is Your Majesty plotting a rebellion?" Luo Zu asked.

"What do you mean?" The Great Celestial Venerable, whose mind was filled with countless thoughts, was puzzled when he heard this.

How could there be any rebellion? What reason would there be for rebellion? He is the ruler of billions of beings, and even the Three Pure Ones and the Five Elders must submit to Him. What reason would there be for rebellion?

"Do you think this Six-Eared Macaque will ruin the grand plan of the mortal world?" the Great Celestial Venerable asked.

"Your Majesty is wise," Luo Zu replied.

"Then how could it harm me?" the Great Heavenly Venerable asked again.

"Great Celestial Venerable, please perform a brief deduction," said Luo Zu.

The Great Celestial Venerable did as instructed, and a round mirror appeared in His palm, which was as vast as the universe. It then reflected all things in the heavens and earth, all kinds of time and space, and all things within it.

"Wukong, do you know who sent this Six-Eared Macaque?" The Great Celestial Venerable asked Luo Zu while operating the Round Light Mirror.

“I suppose they are those who do not submit to the Great Celestial Venerable’s discipline,” Luo Zu replied.

"Then wouldn't that be you, Wukong?" the Great Heavenly Venerable asked in surprise.

Luo Zu glared, but fortunately, he was shapeless at the moment, a formless, colorless, and tasteless wisp of divine thought, not even a thought, so he did not show any ridiculous behavior to the Great Heavenly Venerable.

"Could it be that the Great Celestial Venerable has truly become confused?" Luo Zu wondered to himself.

Of course, he had many other guesses. Perhaps something had happened to Donghuang Taiyi, which made his control over this world less effective, and led to the emergence of oddities like the Six-Eared Macaque.

"Great! Our freedom is within reach!" Luo Zu thought with delight.

Who would want to be trapped in such a world, where magical powers and supernatural abilities are restricted everywhere, the growth of one's cultivation is also limited, and the rules are strict, making it difficult for people to be free.

Fortunately, although the great gods were restricted, they only lost some of their cultivation and soon integrated into this world. However, the Great Celestial Venerable was unreasonable and confined all the great gods, preventing them from traveling freely in all directions, not even to the realm of the divine.

It's incredibly annoying, but there's nothing you can do about it; after all, He's the greatest being in this world.

It's different now.

“Since the Great Celestial Venerable intends to spare this fellow, then this humble one dares not disobey. This humble one takes his leave.” With his thoughts settled, Luo Zu’s thoughts vanished without a trace from the Lingxiao Palace.

He left easily and happily, and after returning to Flower Fruit Mountain, the Six-Eared Macaque vanished without a trace. It turned out that the monkey was also a transformation of him.

Everything was just a test, a test of this Great Celestial Venerable's control over the world.

The great gods had already noticed that the Great Celestial Venerable was acting strangely, but none of them had made any attempt to test him. Only Luo Zu had taken the first bite of the crab.

But even though he ate the crabs, it's absolutely impossible for him to actually take action now.

He was just testing the waters; other tasks would have to be done by others. Otherwise, if he did all the work, wouldn't everyone try to take credit from him when it came time to divide the credit?

So Luo Zu focused his mind and stopped roaming the heavens. He continued his cultivation as if he had vanished into nothingness. Even the lightning that used to strike was nowhere to be seen, and the spiritual energy that used to gather from all directions no longer surged in. Huaguo Mountain returned to its original state as a blessed land of immortals, no longer the unique place favored by gods and the world.

The monitoring officers gradually withdrew, leaving only a few officers still on duty to monitor the situation.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the floods on the land of China were quelled. The precious iron that Yu the Great used to stabilize the bottom of the Milky Way was not returned to Laozi, but instead fell into the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and became its treasure.

Everything seemed predetermined, everything was progressing steadily, and fate spared no one, including living beings.

"How pitiful, how tragic, how lamentable." Luo Zu Guan only awoke from his seclusion after witnessing the changes in all things.

"Time has ruined both beauties and heroes; all have passed, and are nothing but a handful of dust," sighed Luo Zu.

The changes in the Central Plains are what attract the attention of all the gods, immortals, and saints. But other continents also undergo changes of time, with dynasties rising and falling, heroes singing tragic songs, and the common people shedding blood and tears. Mountains and rivers are shattered and scattered. Only the gods and immortals remain as clay sculptures, sitting firmly in the heavens, looking down on all living beings.

Of course, there are also instances where immortals descend to earth, becoming heroes of their time, experiencing the calamities of a dynasty's end, or overcoming all obstacles to unify the mortal realm and establish their rule over the Central Plains.

Among them, the most prominent were the constellation gods, such as the Twenty-Eight Mansions, Ziwei and Gouchen, as well as the Southern and Northern Dippers. Especially after Yu the Great controlled the floods, heaven, earth, and man all unleashed their killing intent, resulting in three great calamities for humanity.

The first event was the arrival of the Black Bird of Destiny, with the Shang Dynasty replacing the Xia Dynasty; the second event was the phoenix's cry in Xiqi, with the Wu Zhou Dynasty replacing the Shang Dynasty; and the third event was the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, when a hundred schools of thought contended.

After such a great calamity for humanity, one can see the flourishing state of humanity in this world.

As for whether there was a great calamity of godhood in the middle, there was no such thing in this world. That is, new gods emerged continuously during these three great calamities, and old gods perished along with them. In addition, Ziwei established her deep connection with the human world through this.

The aura of the Human Emperor was firmly bound to the Ziwei Star during the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou overthrowing the Shang Dynasty. Moreover, the Ziwei Star transformed into the Emperor Star. If the sun were not so dazzling and scorching, the Ziwei Emperor would have already entered the Lingxiao Palace and replaced the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor did not blame the Ziwei Emperor for his petty actions. Instead, he bestowed upon him a higher title and established the so-called Four Emperors, including the Ziwei Emperor, as well as Gouchen, Houtu, and Nanji.

For a time, the divine might of the Ziwei Emperor was unparalleled.

Since the Jade Emperor was so accommodating, the Ziwei Emperor naturally worked diligently as his assistant, helping the Jade Emperor to overcome difficulties.

After experiencing these three great calamities for humanity, Luo Zu also realized the arrival of his own "destiny".

"How wonderful! How wonderful! I, Old Sun, am about to be born!" Luo Zu shook the naturally formed spiritual stone embryo, about to announce his arrival to the whole world.

Rumble!
With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth were instantly cleared, as if a divine being had been born.

"Hey, from today onwards, I, Old Sun, will be the Great Sage."

Luo Zu transformed into a golden ray of light, illuminating the entire world. (End of Chapter)
