Chapter 201: Calamity or sacrifice of all living beings? [Please subscribe, please vote, please recommend, please reward. ]

All I could hear was Meng Fan's gloomy voice.

His words seemed full of vicissitudes of life. He said to everyone present in a leisurely manner:
“Birth, death and restoration are the basic laws of all things in the universe, and the laws governing their operation are called Tao.”

"Whether the heaven and earth are unkind or merciful, it is all a matter of the mentality of each living being. But one thing is certain about the way of heaven: it is fair to all things, all living beings, even gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters."

"Thus, in the heaven and earth, all living things are evolving. They struggle for survival, their destinies intertwine, forming various causes and effects."

"As life multiplies, the struggle for survival becomes more and more intense. When a conflict is induced by a certain factor, it erupts. This is called a catastrophe!"

"The formation of the quantitative catastrophe is basically a man-made disaster."

"All living things are multiplying, whether they are immortals, Buddhas, gods, demons or monsters, they are all competing for resources and absorbing the energy of heaven and earth. If everyone follows the rules set by Pangu after he created the world, the energy will be basically balanced."

"There are forces that secretly control humanity, interfere, and breed demons and Buddhas. In order for demons to grow, they must absorb Yuanqi energy. They are different from mortals. Mortals die after a hundred years, and after death, everything returns to nature, and it will not destroy the balance."

"It's different with immortals. They are immortal, and the more they absorb, the more unbalanced the energy of heaven and earth becomes, and they gradually move towards catastrophe."

"The occurrence of quantitative calamity is actually the imbalance of energy. There is only absorption, no release, and no continuous generation of energy. This is the reason why quantitative calamity occurs."

"Only by killing and reincarnating can the energy of heaven and earth return to balance."

“But, is the Conferred God Calamity mentioned by Hongjun really a Calamity?”

Meng Fan's words directly pointed out everyone's thoughts.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Meng Fan directly said, "Everyone present here knows the cause of the Conferred God Tribulation. There are three reasons."

"First, because Yuanshi Tianzun, the master of the Daoist teachings of Kunlun Mountain's Yuxu Palace, closed the palace and stopped teaching because his twelve golden immortals had committed calamities in the mortal world and were about to be killed."

"Also, the Lord of Heaven ordered the twelve immortals to submit to him, and there were no capable men or generals in the Heavenly Court. Also, the human world was in the transition period between the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the Shang dynasty was about to end, and the Zhou dynasty was about to rise."

"So Nuwa took advantage of the fact that Emperor Xin was disrespectful to the heaven and recited a poem to him as a trigger to discuss with Hongjun. The three religions were discussed together, namely the Chan religion, the Jie religion, and the Ren religion, and a total of 365 orthodox gods were compiled."

"It is divided into eight parts: the upper four parts are thunder, fire, plague, and fighting; the lower four parts are the stars, the three mountains and five peaks, the gods of rain and clouds, and the gods of good and evil, which detail the responsibilities and powers of the heavenly court."

"It is said that when the sky is murderous, the stars will move; when the earth is murderous, dragons and snakes will rise from the land; when people are murderous, heaven and earth will turn upside down; when heaven and man are murderous together, all changes will be established."

“But its essence, to put it bluntly, is a massacre of all living beings by heaven and earth, an act of cleansing, and the Conferred God Tribulation actually targets the human race the most.”

"Comparing the past and present, is the claim that the Conferred Gods are a catastrophe really tenable?"

"Don't forget, Hongjun himself said the calamity of the Conferred Gods. He is not worthy of trust. Although the heart of heaven is selfless, the human heart is selfish."

"How many people are there in the world now? How many people were there during the Conferred God Period? We can still live a stable life now. Compared with the two, which one is greater and which one is less, in terms of the number of people supported by the heaven and earth?"

"Then why was the energy of heaven and earth insufficient during the Conferred God Period?"

"Here again, let's make a bold assumption!"

"That is, the so-called Conferred God Tribulation is simply a lie!"

"Hongjun used the dynasty to subvert the rules, guide and push the situation, and used the life and death of thousands of human beings as chess pieces to make the evil and resentful Qi in the world surge to the sky, thereby shaking the will of heaven and earth."

"The evil spirit is rising to the sky, and the world is unstable. The will of heaven and earth must respond. In order to maintain the stability of heaven and earth, Jiang Ziya's act of offering sacrifices to the heroic spirit was summoned, and the authority and responsibility of heaven and earth, that is, the throne, was given to the gods to be enfeoffed." "In fact, this is tantamount to deceiving the heaven!"

"But it just so happens that Hongjun has already achieved the Dao at this time. To put it in a way that everyone here can understand, a certain thought in his mind has been slandering the Lord of Purple Mansion, asking him to delegate power and rule by decentralization."

"The original will of heaven and earth, or the way of heaven, is like a naive child emperor who is unable to distinguish between good and virtuous and is deceived by Hongjun, who issues the authority of heaven and earth to the gods."

"After the gods were conferred the title of deity, they were controlled by the Conferred God List and the God-beating Whip given by Hongjun before. Therefore, Hongjun could easily suppress and devour the gods. The power of heaven and earth he controlled became stronger and stronger, and he became a prime minister who could threaten the emperor."

"What followed was the removal of the emperor's authority, replacing heaven with oneself, and becoming the true way of heaven!"

Meng Fan finished speaking and immediately glanced around.

The leaders of various sects present had already been stunned by what they heard.

What the hell?
If someone suddenly told him one day that there was a Heavenly Dao in his world, and that this Heavenly Dao was the Hongjun Daozu in mythology and legend, he would definitely take it as a joke.

But now the one who told him this was Meng Fan, the director general of the 139th Division, so it was difficult to judge the authenticity of this.

At this time, Mu You said in a dry voice: "Um...Tian Gong, you are not kidding us, right?"

Meng Fan glanced at him and said unhappily, "Can I joke with you about such a big thing?"

"In fact, the old Heavenly Master and his men know a little about this matter, but they are limited by the Heavenly Master's degree and cannot tell anyone."

Everyone couldn't help but look at them, only to see that Zhang Zhiwei remained silent. He neither spoke out his objection nor nodded, which meant he agreed.

"Let's get back to the topic we started with, Immortal Transmigration and Ascension!"

"As the leader of the Human Religion, Taiqing Daode Tianzun actually discovered the truth of this matter after the Conferred God Calamity and made corresponding backup plans and preparations."

"This backup is similar to the forbidden inheritance of the Heavenly Master Degree. It not only contains various techniques beyond cognition, but can even accumulate the Qi of extraordinary people from generation to generation and pass it down."

"And this preparation is also the information contained in the forbidden inheritance of Tianshidu, that is, the plan of immortalization and ascension, the so-called plan of becoming an immortal."

Meng Fan sighed and said, "Ascension to the Immortal Realm has always been a scam. There is only one Blue Planet, so where can one ascend to?"

"Refine essence into Qi, refine Qi into spirit, refine spirit into emptiness, return emptiness into the Tao, and the Tao into Mahayana!"

"Ascension to the Immortal Realm is just a fusion of Dao after all!"

"To be in harmony with the will of heaven and earth, to become a 'minister' in the court of heaven, to divide Hongjun's influence and authority over the will of heaven and earth, and thus to reduce Hongjun's influence over heaven and earth."

"Generation after generation of our ancestors secretly carried out this plan, which led to our current development and prosperity. The human race was able to grow stronger, escape from the wilderness and form civilization, and technology was able to develop."

"Instead of being exploited and suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, becoming a slave under the Heavenly Dao!"

"The plan of ascending to heaven can be said to have achieved initial results, but in modern times, it has been difficult to find sages who can ascend to heaven."

"There are many factors involved. It may be related to the development of science and technology, which has squeezed the living space of the alien world. It may also be that Hongjun has made a counterattack, suppressing the development of the alien world. This mystery is difficult to investigate clearly."
