Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1020 Chi You

After all, in the upcoming situation, only Da Luo can be stable—no, only Da Luo has the possibility of being stable.

And below the Great Luo...

Ao Bing shook his head inwardly.

Even he wasn't confident that he could protect his close associates who hadn't yet achieved the status of Great Luo in the upcoming situation.

Whether during or after this great calamity, Ao Bing could almost foresee how the situation would develop.

Starting with the Jade Emperor's initiative to lay out the chessboard, inviting all the powerful figures from the five great worlds to join the game, the structure of the five great worlds will then develop in a more 'integrated' way.

As long as the ultimate war is stalled, the communication between the five great worlds will become increasingly close!
Those at the Daluo level, and even those at the Taiyi level below Daluo, will move more and more frequently between the five directions of the Great Heaven and Earth.

At that time, Ao Bing, who would stay in Pantian no matter what and would not leave Pantian to go to other great worlds, would definitely become an extremely conspicuous and eye-catching existence in the group of Great Luo.

Everyone, including the Great Luo Immortals within Pan Tian, ​​was curious about why Ao Bing had remained within Pan Tian without ever stepping outside, and why he had no interest in any opportunities beyond that heaven.

This also means that countless people will begin to test Ao Bing.

Countless people, including the Great Luo of Pantian itself, would actively or passively try to persuade or force Ao Bing to go beyond the heavens in various ways, hoping to find out why Ao Bing sat in Pantian without coming out.

The more Ao Bing remained still, the more frequent and excessive the tests would become.

This means countless dangers—not dangers for Ao Bing, but dangers for those close to him.

Because other people's probing of Ao Bing cannot start directly with Ao Bing.

They will only choose to target those close to Ao Bing, then slowly lay out their plans, creating a ripple effect that will ultimately influence Ao Bing.

In this situation, the most dangerous ones are naturally Ao Bing's two Daoist partners.

A symbol of the Western Extremity, the White Tiger, the Divine Lord of Military Supervision.

A celestial princess, the Red Phoenix Star Lord.

"Chi You clan".

"I plan to go and see where Chi You's seal is located first."

Li Nu spoke of her considerations regarding the situation.

The intensity of this massacre was so great that even she was somewhat alarmed.

If such a deadly calamity had been planned and laid out from the beginning, it would have been fine—but since the calamity had already been unleashed, her attempt to enter the game would inevitably draw the attention of countless people and make her a target of public criticism.

Therefore, even if she wanted to get involved, she needed to find an excellent anchor point. She moved along this anchor point, and then the calamity actively sought her out, dragging her in and forcing her to step into the calamity.

In this way, she wouldn't attract too much attention during the killing.

And the anchor point she chose was none other than Chi You!

Humanity is the protagonist of heaven and earth.

The short-lived human race, their army shone brightly on the battlefield outside the heavens, directly supporting half of the battlefield.

Under such circumstances, it is easy to imagine how much attention the existence of the human race would receive.

And one can imagine how repeatedly people will scrutinize the history and secrets of the human race.

In the history of humankind, the most distant era, which is also filled with the most secrets—the era of those human emperors—is naturally also repeatedly revisited.

Everyone, including the Great Luo Immortals, wanted to glean the true nature of the Human Emperors from the few words and phrases recorded in the history of the human race.

Even for those Great Luo Immortals who walk on the earth with the Human Emperor in the Pantian realm, peering into the Human Emperor's essence and deducing his thought process is a considerable asset, often allowing them to gain insights from other sources when they least expect it.

The Human Emperor is no exception—his enemies, and even those who failed in their attempts to become Human Emperor, also receive considerable attention.

Among the countless genealogical charts of figures related to the Human Emperor, the one that has attracted the most attention and the one that people most want to explore is Chi You, also known as Da You.

Or rather, it should have been called Da You Shi – Chi, a derogatory term used after a defeat.

Its existence coincided with the most brilliant period of human mythology.

Shennong and Xuanyuan coexisted almost simultaneously.

In addition, there was the Great You clan, who was equally comparable to the Human Emperor and was revered by all of humanity.

That era was not the most powerful time for humanity, but it was certainly the most brilliant.

It was as if three emperors coexisted in the world—the idea that emperors could not coexist seemed to completely disappear during the era of these three.

It seems that the era they lived in was distorted, making it difficult to define.

Even the great Luo who lived through that era would find it difficult to accurately define that era—because their impressions of that era were actually inconsistent!

In some people's minds, that was the era when the three emperors of the human race coexisted.

Some people believe that it was not an era in which the Three Sovereigns coexisted, but rather a time when the previous Shennong wanted to choose the next Human Sovereign.

Then, one of the candidates for the Human Emperor that he had selected, who was eliminated, launched a rebellion against the human race—that is, the Chi You clan.

However, this argument is also untenable.

The claim that the emperor was chosen is untenable!

Throughout history, no human emperor has ever been chosen—all human emperors have become human emperors only after they have accomplished certain feats.

Instead of the other way around, he was first chosen as the emperor and then achieved the corresponding accomplishments.

It is precisely this sense of time, which even Da Luo finds somewhat confusing, that makes the mythological era in which Shennong, Chiyou, and Xuanyuan lived so alluring.

Of course, in that era, the three most brilliant figures among the human race were not the only ones—Xingtian's brilliance was equally dazzling.

That unique figure in the world, a mortal with an unyielding will, displayed unprecedented killing power, transforming into a war god—rising from the human world with the flesh and blood of a mortal, fighting his way up the Jianmu tree to the Heavenly Court.

In the end, he was personally beheaded by the Jade Emperor.

Even so, he still did not die.

He was the first war god among men; his heart was immortal, his spirit was indestructible, and his body was eternal.

It is through flesh and blood that a different kind of immortal existence is achieved.

Its body is as mysterious as the Dao Fruit of a Great Luo Immortal. To this day, its headless body is still immersed in the dream of Changyang Mountain.

To this day, there are more than one Great Luo Immortal around Changyang Mountain, all seeking to uncover the mysteries within Xing Tian's flesh and blood.

I want to know the profound mystery of that mortal body, comparable to the Great Luo Dao Fruit—I want to know how such a mystery is achieved.

Of course, what everyone wants to know more about is how to tap into the power of thought and the divine.

The existence of cultivation is a miracle, a miracle born from the mind—but this miracle pales in comparison to the miracle of Xing Tian.

After all, Xing Tianshi was just an ordinary music official one moment, and the next he became a being comparable to a Great Luo Immortal, possessing both the immortality and the killing power of a Great Luo Immortal.

How long does it take for an ordinary cultivator to achieve the Great Luo realm?
Immeasurable.

Even the current Great Luo Immortals all progressed step by step, achieving their status over countless years.

However, Xing Tianshi went from an ordinary mortal to a being comparable to a Great Luo Immortal in just a moment!
Who wouldn't want to explore such a secret?
Unfortunately, let alone this secret, no one has been able to uncover even the secret of Xing Tian's flesh and blood.

Since Xing Tian, ​​no other war god has appeared among the human race.

—The second person who came closest to the God of War was Wen Zhong, the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty.

This person, just as he was about to become the God of War of the human race, was shaken in his mind by Ao Bing, Yang Jian, Nezha and others, which dispelled his last breath and completely cut off his chance to become the God of War.

Even Xingtian Shi was already incredibly glorious.

It is easy to imagine how much more illustrious Xuanyuan and Chiyou were than Xingtian.

Especially Chi You!
Despite being a failed rebel, he was still recognized by the human race, called 'Ancestor' by them, and revered by all mortals, enjoying the same incense offerings as the Human Emperor.

In the history of humankind, this can be said to be unique!
Of course, what is the most eye-catching thing about Chi You?

He's still alive!

Indeed, this powerful figure from the human mythological era still lives in the world, just like Xing Tian.

However, the difference between the two is that Xingtianshi was immersed in the dream of Changyang Mountain and did not know when he would wake up.

Chi You was sealed away by the human emperor Xuanyuan.

It was after the Xuanyuan clan defeated him in the final battle that he was killed but could not be truly killed.

Before the final battle between these two human emperors came to a conclusion, the vast majority of immortals and gods in the world believed that Chi You would win, and therefore, countless people supported Chi You.

It was precisely because of this that, in the final battle, the Xuanyuan clan launched a surprise attack and defeated the Chiyou clan in one battle, which almost completely changed the landscape of the world.

Theoretically speaking, Chi You, who affected the overall balance of heaven and earth due to his own failure and aroused the wrath of the masses, was bound to die.

The people of Xuanyuan's side were worried that Chiyou would not submit and that another conflict would break out.

Those who chose to join Chi You's side but ultimately failed and lost countless benefits also needed to vent their anger in this way.

But strangely, Chi You did not die...

This is not because the strong people of that time were all kind and simple, but because Chi You at that time was truly unkillable!

Even if Da Luo were to intervene, he would not be able to eradicate Chi You's existence.

That is why, in the end, Xuanyuan dismembered Chiyou in full view of everyone—though that wasn't really dismemberment.

It can only be described as a fractal.

After tearing Chi You's body apart, they sealed it in different places.

With the death of Xuanyuan, the place where Chiyou was sealed became a complete secret.

To this day, no one knows where Chi You's seal is located.

But for Li Nu, this was not a problem.

Chi You is revered as the "Ancestor of Weapons" among humans. He is the master of weapons and the symbol of war.

And coincidentally, the White Tiger image of Li Nu also contains the symbol of war—the White Tiger Guardian God.

Therefore, by virtue of the authority and symbolism of this weapon, Li Nu was able to sense the location of Chi You's seal!
Long ago, Li Nu had the idea of ​​seeking out Chi You.

However, she was well aware that, given Chi You's influence, once he regained his freedom, the entire human situation would change—which in turn would cause changes in the situation of heaven and earth.

That price was one she could not afford.

But the current situation is different.

Under the Jade Emperor's deadly scheme, all the powerful beings in the world turned their attention to the chessboard.

Even at this moment, if Li Nu went to find Chi You, no one else would stop her.

Their more likely option is to use this opportunity to drag Li Nu into this great calamity, thereby dragging Chi You into it as well.

At the same time, the existence of humanity itself, the very essence of human nature, was also subtly influencing Li Nu's actions—under this calamity, both humanity and human nature needed the existence of a Chi You to serve as the foundation of humanity and the trump card of human nature.

Most importantly, in this calamity, the human race is merely the beginning of the calamity, the trigger that sets it off, not the calamity itself—in fact, the existence of the human race cannot be considered the chessboard of this calamity!

After the Buddha of Dragon Light in Buddhism used an incarnation to attack the human race, and was then crushed by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the calamity among the human race could be said to have been pushed to its extreme, reaching the point of decline after reaching its peak.

Afterwards, even if some ripples still appear among the human race, the surge of those ripples will never be as strong as the attack made by this Great Luo incarnation!

Therefore, at this time, it is the best choice for Li Nu to approach this calamity from the perspective of the human race and from the perspective of Chi You!

Of course, one of the key figures in this calamity is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

Given the relationship between Li Nu and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, if she wanted to intervene in the calamity, there was actually an even simpler way—she only needed the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to personally invite her.

However, this method ultimately benefits the monkey and deprives it of its destiny.

Li Nu regarded the monkey as her junior, and naturally she disdained to scheme about the junior's fortune and opportunities.

"Chi You, huh?"

"Alright." Ao Bing nodded.

He also had considerable curiosity about Chi You.
