Chapter 146: Creation, Destruction, and the Unity of All Things

[When the demon race and the human race were reproducing and growing. ]

[Donghuang Taiyi and the twelve gods finally perfected the upper heaven and earth and evolved it into a starry sky.]

[In this way, even the "Innate Ancient God" cannot smash the "Sky Dome". ]

【Donghuang Taiyi migrated Donghuang's subjects into the "starry sky".】

[But the descendants of "Kun" and "Qiang" were unwilling, and several descendants of the ancient gods begged Donghuang Taiyi to allow them to protect their mother's body. ]

[Donghuang Taiyi allowed them to be named "Mountain God" and "Water God", but they were not allowed to leave the ancient god's body at will.]

【Donghuang Taiyi used the skin, fingers, feet, and hair of the ancient god to evolve the instrument of "authority" based on the "Xuanhuang Bell".】

[The "subjects of the Eastern Emperor" in the starry sky are named "Star God", "Thunder God", "Lightning God"... Each of them can use the "authority" to control part of the laws of heaven and earth. ]

[The laws of heaven and earth are becoming more and more perfect, gradually giving rise to a kind of "pure energy". Ordinary creatures can prolong their lives by consuming "pure energy". ]

[Donghuang Taiyi built a golden palace deep in the starry sky, and then returned to Donggu again, preparing to revive his children. ]

[At this time, the land is full of humans and demons, who all came out of the "valley" and are brothers to each other. Both the demons and humans live on wild fruits, dew, and rice.]

[There are some intelligent monsters who live on air. In this harmonious coexistence, there is no rift between humans and monsters.]

[What both tribes face in common are severe tests from nature, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, storms, and volcanic eruptions.]

[These are just gentle breezes and drizzles for the former "subjects of the Eastern Emperor".]

[In addition, there is the endless darkness and biting cold, which seems to freeze all life. In this vast world, the sun rises and the moon sets, which is extremely long.]

[For humans, life is particularly short. There are only seventy or eighty sunsets before they enter old age. In this limited life, the night occupies most of the time.]

[Qingqing saw this and often sent her daughters of the cloud birds to secretly help the "human race", giving them fire and helping them survive natural disasters.]

[Donghuang Taiyi also sent out "gods" to help the demons and humans. The more spiritual beings that can practice, the more feedback he gets as the sun that nourishes the heaven and earth than the former "subjects of Donghuang".]

[The gods obeyed the order of Donghuang Taiyi, moved mountains and filled the sea, tore up the storm, and the mighty power of the gods penetrated into the hearts of the demons and humans. They accepted the help of the gods with peace of mind.]

[The two tribes learned that the gods were immortal and they were more eager to cultivate to become "gods" in order to escape "death". In order to race against "death", some powerful tribes in the demon tribe began to "plunder" the cultivation of weaker tribes.]

[Hundreds of sunrises and sunsets.]

[Under the protection of the gods, the number of demons and humans has increased rapidly. At the same time, countless lives have been lost, and the shadow of death is always looming. ]

【The other side.】

[Donghuang Taiyi felt that he was just a little bit away from taking the final step.]

[But he has already perfected all the order of heaven and earth...what is still missing? ]

[Donghuang Taiyi stayed in the valley, accompanying his children, Xixi, and Qingqing. He occasionally saw the "turbid air", "clear air", "worldly air", and a "black air" of the heaven and earth.]

[The amount of "black air" is ten thousand times that of other "airs", occupying 99% of the heaven and earth. ]

[That is the resentment from the "evil", "ancient gods", and "dead creatures", and this "resentment" is slow to disappear. As the creatures of heaven and earth die, the "resentment" accumulates more and more, and becomes jealous of the living creatures. ]

【This is the cause of the natural disaster. 】

[Donghuang Taiyi searches for the source of the "black air" and finds the abyss where the "evil" was born. He realizes that the "eternal night" has not completely passed, but is only temporarily illuminated by his light.]

[Even when Donghuang Taiyi used the "Xuanhuang Bell", he was unable to completely eliminate the "resentment".]

[He named them "obsession", "calamity", and "desire". Donghuang Taiyi realized that if he did not take the initiative to resolve these obsessions, there would be a great war between heaven and earth, and he would never be able to attain enlightenment.]

[Donghuang Taiyi was shocked. He didn't have a chance to do it again.]

[Donghuang Taiyi, Xixi, Qingqing, the eight daughters, and the twelve gods are actively thinking of a solution.]

[First, guide all living beings to eliminate their "obsessions", that is, every living being does not pursue immortality and faces death calmly. Donghuang Taiyi thinks that there are such living beings in the world, but he cannot ask everyone to do so. ]

【Happiness is what I have and you don’t. 】

[The two newly born tribes were ignorant and happy for several days after eating the first dewdrop.]

[The more you can get, the more you desire. Once desire begins, it will never stop, and the world simply cannot support everyone's "eternal life." ]

[Donghuang Taiyi asked: "Do you have any other good ideas?"]

[The twelve gods looked at each other. Then, a simple and honest god stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is very simple."] [Donghuang Taiyi's eyes fell on it. This was the incarnation of Qiang's spirit. Usually, he was a brainless and reckless man, but now he could put forward his own opinions. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Speak quickly."]

[The God said solemnly: "Kill, kill them all."]

[“If we completely eradicate the human and demon races, then only the “Gods” and “subjects of the Eastern Emperor” will remain in the world. The idea will naturally be pure enough.” It raised its head, waiting for His Majesty’s praise.]

[After hearing this, the other gods were also eager to try, and they all requested, "Your Majesty, we have 100,000 ways to make the human race and the demon race disappear completely, and we guarantee that your Majesty will be satisfied."]

[The honest god hurriedly said: "Brothers, please don't argue. This is my suggestion. Your Majesty, please let me take action!"]

【Donghuang Taiyi's face suddenly darkened, and he told it to get lost. This kind of idiot has no bottom line. If he hadn't created it, it wouldn't be worthy of sitting at the same table with him.】

[The other gods were all shocked when they saw Donghuang Taiyi's angry face. Their bodies, which were ready to move, froze instantly, like still sculptures, not daring to breathe.]

【Xixi whispered: "My husband, the pure energy accumulated in the upper heaven and earth is enough to support the immortality of about 120,000 cultivators. And the authority of the ancient gods can also be divided and granted. But they need to go through many tribulations and eliminate the obsessions in the hearts of all living beings. Those who make great contributions can enjoy the fruit of immortality."】

[“This can temporarily postpone the arrival of that day.”]

[Qingqing knew that Xixi's method was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. There were only 120,000 living beings in the world who could enjoy the immortality fruit, but there were so many living beings in this world. By then, the two races would fight to the death for a spot.]

[“My dear, since there is life, there will be death, and there will be injustice if there is death. Then, should we give them another life and let them eliminate their obsessions themselves?”]

[After listening to Xixi and Qingqing's words, Donghuang Taiyi decided that this was not a perfect solution.]

[An idea suddenly popped up in his mind - "reincarnation". ]

[But how to establish "reincarnation"? ]

[Donghuang Taiyi looked at the "Xuanhuang Bell" in his soul and thought about how "it" came about, and then he came to his senses.]

[He is no longer the crow from the Eternal Night World. This time, for Xixi, Qingqing, and his children, he cannot just sit there and do nothing, and cannot just let things take their own course. Instead, he must actively guide the direction of all living beings.]

[When this "heart" appeared, Donghuang Taiyi had already taken the last step. ]

[He summoned the gods and the subjects of the Eastern Emperor to formally establish the "Heavenly Court" in the starry sky. He used the "Black and Yellow Bell", a device that possessed 90% of the great fortune of heaven and earth, to prove his status as the Emperor of Heaven in one fell swoop.]

[The big bell finally got a name - "Donghuang Bell". ]

[“Dangdangdang——”]

【The "Donghuang Bell" sounded a long and melodious sound. 】

[The purple air came from the east, stretching for 30,000 miles. The ground seemed to be blooming with golden lotuses, splendid and dazzling. Then, a colorful bird flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. At this moment, a majestic and solemn voice resounded in the ears of all living beings.]

[“The Heavenly Emperor’s decree——”]

[As soon as these words came out, everyone's heart was shaken, as if being pulled by an invisible force, naturally passing through the void and coming to the depths of the vast starry sky. Before their eyes, a magnificent and dazzling palace stood tall, and its gate slowly opened, revealing a sacred and inviolable aura.]

[The creatures of the human and demon races looked around and felt that every inch of space here was filled with extremely rich spiritual energy. They only took a light breath and felt that their cultivation seemed to have improved several times, and they couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.]

[The human race, the demon race, and those creatures who have achieved great success in Qi training and have profound cultivation, all stepped into the palace. Mighty and tall gods stood solemnly on both sides, their faces full of respect.]

[In the deepest part of the palace, a man sat on a golden throne. His face was shrouded in a mysterious glow, making it impossible to see his true appearance.]

[People do not know Donghuang Taiyi, but they know the two dignified goddesses sitting beside him. ]

[The human race is excited. The one on the left is the goddess who "made people out of clay" beside the river. The demon race is also excited. The one on the right is the Western Emperor who "created all things".]

[In the legends of the human race and the demon race, Xixi and Qingqing both possess the power to change the world. They often argue about whose mother goddess has stronger power.]

[Such a noble existence can only sit respectfully to the side, because in the center, sitting is an even greater being]

[From the Mother Goddess, they learned that this creature was the father of all living beings and the source of all things - Donghuang Taiyi.]

[When Donghuang Taiyi saw the world was desolate, he created twelve gods out of mud. He also gave his wife, the goddess, and Xihuang twelve strands of black and yellow merits, allowing them to create the demon race and the human race according to their own preferences.]

[The human race, the demon race, the god race, the sun in the sky, the moon at night, the stars in the sky... all of these were created by Donghuang Taiyi. 】

[The world was born in this way under the creation of Donghuang Taiyi.]

They were filled with awe for this creator god who could both create and destroy the world and bring all things together, and they really didn't dare to call him by his name "Donghuang Taiyi".

[So, they respectfully called this great Majesty "Emperor of Heaven, Di Jun"]
