The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 486 Liches can also be one family, collectively known as the Pangu Clan

The swordsman's face in front of Wang Ping'an was gradually becoming familiar.

It was his grandfather—Luo.

If the two hadn't stood together, Wang Ping'an, who spent every day with Luo, wouldn't have noticed the similarity.

"What...what's going on?"

"Has he always been like this?" the swordsman asked Luo.

"He himself was just a catalyst," Luo said.

"You've met those so-called founders of the three religions, haven't you?" Luo added.

The swordsman withdrew his gaze from Wang Ping'an and said without any hesitation, "I didn't see him."

"Indeed, there's no such person in this world." Luo laughed.

The swordsman ignored his laughter and continued, "Have you seen the solution?"

Luo shook his head: "If there is a solution, I will leave now. I can't stay here any longer."

Wang Ping'an stood to the side, but he didn't understand anything.

After listening to a few sentences, I felt dizzy, as if I had heatstroke.

"Since this is difficult, that is difficult, let's just kill this kid and that might reveal a way to break the deadlock." The swordsman drew his sword and, without saying a word, struck down.

Wang Ping'an was shocked and raised his hand to block, but then he felt that it would be futile. How could a mortal body withstand such a sword strike?

hum!

The sword's edge finally stopped at his head, but did not strike.

Then he heard the voice of the swordsman he had always admired: "Just kidding, young man, don't be nervous."

What kind of ridiculous joke is this? It's deadly! Wang Ping'an's face turned pale, and his heart turned cold. He looked at his grandfather, and then at the swordsman. At this moment, he had never doubted his own origins so much.

Was he found?

Or what?

Judging from what he just said, he still seemed like his grandfather's enemy.

And his grandfather looked exactly like this swordsman; could they be twins? The doubts in his heart washed over his mind like a whirlwind.

It kept him from having a moment's peace, and this sword strike at this moment stirred a strange thought in his mind.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill these two people in front of me, and slaughter all living beings in this world.

But just as he had this thought, he heard the swordsman look at him with a serious face: "Your killing intent is quite good, I received it."

"I...I...I..." Wang Ping'an panicked and took a few steps back, afraid that the swordsman would suddenly draw his sword and strike, and this time he would not miss.

"Don't worry, it's not us who should be worried, it's Him. Now this world no longer resembles Him, only an empty shell remains," Luo said.

As he said this, his gaze was fixed on Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an suddenly started sobbing and staggered to the ground.

"But His counterattack has already begun. The ancestral temples of the three religions have already fallen, and next, I'm afraid, will be the entire world," the swordsman said calmly.

Luo laughed.

"A cornered dog will jump over the wall; this is just a last gasp before it's fully charged. The most important thing now is to guard against the guy who set this up."

"Yes, that makes sense."

The swordsman completely sheathed his sword, and then his figure gradually faded away, turning into shimmering light spots that fell into Luo's body.

Wang Ping'an stared blankly at the scene, completely bewildered by what had just happened.

But I was deeply shocked.

Gods? Demons?

He suddenly felt that his grandfather had become a stranger.

"Peace." His grandfather got up from the bench.

"Ah...Grandpa?" He hesitated to call out.

Is Grandpa still Grandpa? This question has been lingering in his mind ever since, and he can't let it go.

"From now on, you'll be living alone. Take good care of yourself," Luo said leisurely.

Wang Ping'an didn't detect any sense of melancholy in the voice; in fact, he seemed to feel a bit schadenfreude.

"Grandpa, where are you going?" Wang Ping'an couldn't help but ask.

"..." But Luo just smiled and didn't answer.

His figure gradually disappeared under Wang Ping'an's gaze.

……

If you ask who Luo is, he is naturally a wisp of the spirit of Luo Zu, who now has a name in the primordial world.

However, this wisp of spirit inherited all of Luo Zu's will and then landed in this cave.

To be more precise, Luo Zu has fallen into a trap and is now trapped here.

What scheming is there?

The scheme was to lure him here step by step.

At first glance, it appears to be the work of the Greedy Wolf Star.

As for whether there were instructions from the Star Lord of Greed, endorsements from the Emperor Ziwei, or promises from the Goddess Doumu, Luo Zu had no idea.

But this matter is by no means a simple death throes of the Vengeful Gu God, which has dragged his consciousness into it.

Moreover, the Vengeful Gu God General himself was quite powerful and had no shortage of treasures. Even if Luo Zu launched a surprise attack, he could not kill him so quickly.

Therefore, Luo Zu also speculated that the demon race was involved.

Thus, the two sides put their heads together and trapped Luo Zu in this place.

But why did the Star Gods suddenly cooperate with the demon race...?

No, they are in a cooperative relationship, and a very close one at that. They have formed the Heavenly Court and practice maintaining the Zhou Tian Star Array day and night. With this kind of relationship, how could they not be close?

Therefore, Luo Zu felt that he had been deceived by Tanlang Zuo Xing's sweet words and had fallen into his trap by making one careless move.

This is also my own fault for not being vigilant enough.

Having lived in the prehistoric world for so many years, how can you still be so "naive"? Do you really think that the other side is on the opposite side just because of some interests? They may have long been intertwined, and in terms of the concept of the demon race, why can't the Star God lineage be integrated into the demon race?

If the demon race were to be a little more ruthless and generous, it wouldn't be a problem for the witch race to also be integrated into the demon race.

At that time, there will truly be a world in harmony, and all races of the primordial era will share the same root, cheering together that they are descendants of Pangu.

Wow, Luo Zu suddenly felt that he was really talented.

It directly resolved the ancient war between the Lich King and the Demon King that had raged for billions of years.

Of course, this was just him having some wild thoughts.

The reasons behind the Lich Wars are incredibly complex. Was it a struggle for the ultimate unity of heaven and earth?

Now he understands that what they are fighting for is the position of overlord, and the benefit of the position of overlord is that the destiny of the primordial world favors them. If they get the opportunity, they can become the Primordial Saint.

Donghuang conducted this experiment while vying for supremacy with Dongwanggong, and then, by virtue of his victory and the unique primordial treasure, the Chaos Bell, he became a Primordial Saint.

What if the Lich Kings won the war and became the sole overlords of the world?

What achievements will the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor make? What great power will the Twelve Ancestral Witches possess?

The alternative Hunyuan is definitely unstoppable.

If the two races cease hostilities and make peace, and both refer to themselves as descendants of Pangu, then how should this overlord be counted?

Could it be that you sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor today and I sit on it tomorrow?

Isn't that exactly the case of "the emperor's throne rotates, and next year it's my turn"?

But the positions of Golden Immortals are limited, so wouldn't the positions of Primordial Chaos be even more limited? How could so many people take turns sitting on them and becoming Primordial Chaos in turn?

Furthermore, if one can achieve Hunyuan in this way, then once one steps down from this position, one will lose the blessing of this position and can no longer be Hunyuan.

Of course, this is just Luo Zu's conjecture and should not be taken seriously.

If that's the case, then it would be like electing a leader every year, with everyone giving an "inaugural speech" and then seeing who can bring the most benefits to the community—no, to the harmonious family of all races—and then everyone would elect Him.

At that time, a dispute will probably be inevitable.

After all, mortals can scheme and fight tooth and nail for the position of "dragon head," so the struggle for the Heavenly Emperor's throne would probably be so fierce that even the collapse of the heavens and the cracking of the earth wouldn't be enough to stop it.

These matters are of great importance to Luo Zu, after all, he also wants to see rivers of blood flow.

But now all he can think about is how to get out of here.

It's unclear whether the Star God lineage had some reservations, which is why they didn't kill Luo Zu directly, but instead trapped him here. He couldn't leave, he couldn't go anywhere, and he could only sigh and toss and turn in bed.

They used the Vengeful Gu God General as a guide, and then used a grotto-heaven in the Nine Heavens to refine the Vengeful Gu God General's body and mind, thus transforming it into this special realm.

In this world, even if Luo Zu, with his Taiyi characteristics, were to endure the erosion of the river of time and be fixed at a certain point in time, he would not be able to escape this situation without jumping back to the present.

Moreover, they were also vicious, using the clones formed by Luo Zu's Five-Colored Slaughtering Immortal Sword to pull his true consciousness entirely into this world.

The spiritual dimension of living beings can be considered to be multiple, including the spirit (yin spirit, yang spirit, primordial spirit), true spirit, consciousness, and nature.

The spirit encompasses many things, including one's own memories, true spirit, and consciousness.

The true spirit includes the memories of one's own origins and consciousness.

Consciousness is somewhat metaphysical; it may exist, or it may not.

If the soul is invisible and intangible in the eyes of ordinary beings, belonging to the formless and shapeless realm, then the true spirit and consciousness are formless and shapeless in the eyes of cultivators below the level of true immortals.

As for true nature, it exists, yet it's hard to say it exists. Moreover, ordinary beings can sense it, and their senses are similar to those of true immortals and golden immortals.

Human nature can only be bound by rules, not by the Great Way.

Of course, if certain great principles contain certain special rules, they can also restrain one's nature, such as the way of humanity and the way of heaven.

Humanity is nowhere to be found, and even the Ancestor of Luo cannot be found. As for the Heavenly Way... it's best not to even dream of it.

Now, Luo Zu has retained his true nature, but most of his consciousness is trapped within it, making it difficult for him to break free.

However, Luo Zu's consciousness was excessively powerful. With the support of numerous "external" brains, it forcefully suppressed the consciousness of the Vengeful Gu God General, who should have been the main force.

This has filled this dreamlike world with the influence of Luo Zu's will.

Just look at the dominant species here and you'll understand. According to the current structure of the primordial world, the cave heavens or affiliated small worlds here would never be dominated by humans, but here, they are all humans.

Moreover, due to the influence of Luo Zu, sects such as the so-called Three Teachings and Nine Schools also emerged in this area.

Figures such as Daoist masters, Buddhas, and sages who did not exist in the primordial world became mere background figures.

There are also numerous wonders, various things that only exist in Luo Zu's memories, and some bizarre settings. These are all Luo Zu's thoughts, which are then reflected in reality.

But now that Luo Zu has come to his senses, he has begun to consciously gather his consciousness, which gives the Vengeful Gu God an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Then came the second strange stone from outer space to fall to the ground, and the contamination of the ancestral temples of the three religions.

Now that the situation is taking a sharp turn for the worse, Luo Zu went with the flow.

As for Wang Ping'an, whom he had adopted for many years, he was a wisp of the will of the Vengeful Gu God General. However, he was abducted by Luo Zu and influenced and brainwashed by his own thoughts day and night. Now he has forgotten his own identity and can be considered an independent person.

As for the reason for this, it was to sow discord among the vengeful spirits and weaken their power.

……

The noise from the sword-making furnace could no longer calm Wang Ping'an's mind.

His heart is quick, really quick.

Is Grandpa not Grandpa, or is he still himself?

Who were his biological parents? He awoke from his daze and stared for a long time at the rotten iron sword hanging from the roof beam.

He had no idea how he wandered from the living room to his bed last night.

Could it all be a dream?

Wang Ping'an immediately jumped up and hurriedly searched inside and outside the house.

But in the end, nothing was found; the place was empty. The change of clothes and the dishes were still there, but the person was gone.

"Forge the sword! Forge the sword!" The boy set off immediately.

"It's strange that your grandpa didn't come today. He's usually more diligent than me. What happened? Did he catch a cold? Is that why you came to ask for leave?" The fat uncle who worked at the sword furnace dealt Wang Ping'an a heavy blow.

He realized that everything that happened last night was not an illusion, but real.

He once fantasized that he wasn't his grandfather's biological son, but rather the child of some important person.

It seems that it has been achieved today...

After living alone in such a daze for seven or eight days, Wang Ping'an also disappeared from the house.

No one in town discovered this, except for the tavern owner, who was obsessed with money, when he came to ask him to come back to work.

As for where he went, no one knew. Only three years later, the amazing swordsman who had been drinking in the tavern unexpectedly saw him on the shore of West Lake outside Hangzhou.

At this time, Wang Ping'an also became a swordsman, and he was extremely famous. He was known in the martial arts world as the Rusty Swordsman because of the rusty sword in his hand.

Meanwhile, the martial world was in turmoil, with demons appearing everywhere. People learned that the once glorious three religions had quietly perished after the demons descended from the ancestral temples of the three religions.

I thought it was just a mountain closure, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

Demons are strange creatures that can lurk in people's bodies and hide in their hearts, devouring their flesh and souls, and eventually replacing them. When they are discovered by others at some point, they will reveal their true nature and then wantonly destroy the order of the world.

In addition, demons can also be born from wild beasts that are normally devoid of intelligence and have a fondness for eating people.

Because there are many kinds of wild beasts, there are also many kinds of demons. In addition, there are demons born from humans. Gradually, humans could only retreat into fortresses.

In the struggle against demons, people gradually came to understand the reasons for the demons' existence.

It was caused by that strange stone from outer space from long ago.

He brought demons to this world.

So the remaining humans decided to form an army and march all the way to the southeast sea to shatter that strange stone from outer space.

The first human army set out, and then was annihilated overseas.
