The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

"I looked it up, and there is one."

"I looked it up, it's clearly not there!!"

Seeing that the forum was in chaos, someone finally came out to set the record straight.

"Yeah, that's right, everyone is actually right."

"In the Mengdai 100-chapter version of Journey to the West, there is indeed no such passage."

"Think about it, King Shu himself is from the late Meng and early Ming dynasties."

"And the 100-chapter version of Journey to the West existed at least during the Wanli period, when Heavenly King Shu wasn't even born yet."

"How can I possibly get into Journey to the West?"

"That's what I told you!" Someone immediately stood up.

"You guys are making a fuss about something that clearly didn't happen, and you don't even care about the most basic logic."

"You guys are just nitpickers!"

As soon as he started to criticize, others immediately responded.

"screw you! "

"Whatever he says is what it is?"

"I told you I'm your father, do you believe me?"

"The guy upstairs should stop pretending to be a cultured person."

"So, what you're saying is that the storytelling, dramas, temples, and legends that have been passed down here for hundreds of years... are all fake?"

"Those who are neither born nor dead are under the jurisdiction of King Shu Tian. Everyone knows this, yet you still insist on making trouble."

"Mo is pronounced as Mo, I didn't say it was a fake Ming." The forum member who had been doing science popularization said hurriedly.

"that----"

"A person's historical image, cultural image, and mythological image are completely different things."

"Don't confuse the two."

"For example, Shu Tianwang, a historical figure, certainly wouldn't appear in Journey to the West, but that's not necessarily true for mythological characters."

"What does that mean?" Some forum users were confused.

"Well, doesn't Daxia have a tradition of upgrading historical figures to mythological figures?" the forum member who advocated science continued.

"All outstanding people will become stars in the sky, or the reincarnation of gods."

"Generally speaking, this transformation takes hundreds or even thousands of years."

"For example, Guan Yu was still portrayed as a fierce ghost during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but by the time of the Meng Dynasty, he had become the loyal and righteous emperor who assisted the heavens and protected the country."

"And because of King Shu Tianwang's illustrious military and agricultural achievements in the late Meng and early Ming dynasties, especially his great achievements in agriculture..."

"The speed at which King Shu Tian transformed into a mythical figure was unbelievably fast."

"It took less than a hundred years for the myths and legends of King Shu Tian to spread everywhere."

"Yes, yes, yes." Someone who knew about this immediately agreed.

"It's said that China is collapsing, and the apocalypse is imminent. Zombies and their terrifying minions are everywhere, sucking blood from the world..."

"Faced with this catastrophe, King Shu Tian descended to the mortal world and used the Samsara Plant to transform plant spirits into spirits, forming them into grass soldiers. He ultimately cleared the world of the evil spirit Yanyan and created a new world..."

"That's right!!" a forum member who is interested in popular science affirmed.

"After all, the cultural level of ordinary people was not high at that time."

"Naturally, the Jiannu were demonized into zombies, and King Shu and his soldiers were deified into gods..."

"The Jiannu were ruthless and bloodthirsty, so they were just blood-sucking zombies."

"King Shu Tian's soldiers were born into the lower classes, well-trained, and capable of both farming and fighting. They remained motionless in the face of cavalry charges. So, they are essentially plant spirits that can't move..."

“I have to say, the myths created by ordinary people are quite relevant.”

"Then, following our tradition of using mythological stories to capitalize on popularity, we started collaborating to capitalize on the hype!"

When the science popularization forum friends talked about this, they even felt a little amused and helpless.

The myth of Daxia is characterized by chaos and confusion.

The images of gods and the origins of mythological stories are all over the place, mixed up, and plagiarized.

There may even be many completely different people under the same throne.

For example, Erlang Shen has many origins, including Zhao Erlang, Li Erlang, and Yang Erlang.

The mythological stories of Erlang Shen splitting the mountain to save his mother and Erlang Shen's nephew splitting the mountain to save his mother, although they cannot be said to be exactly the same, are at least completely consistent.

Even Chenxiang's mother, Erlang Shen's sister San Shengmu, had nothing to do with Erlang Shen at the beginning.

She is clearly Huashan Jilang's sister!!

Apart from the similarity in name, there is no other connection between him and Erlang Shen.

But Huashan Erlang is not as famous as Erlang Shen.

So the Third Holy Mother became Erlang Shen's sister, and it even made sense.

Erlang Shen and San Sheng Mu are obviously brother and sister, there is nothing wrong with that.

In addition, in order to sell more books, booksellers spared no effort to pay tribute to their predecessors.

For example, the hymn to Tongtian in "Investiture of the Gods" was copied from the King of Inspiration in "Journey to the West", which led to the idea that during the debate, the entire world of Investiture of the Gods was upset with the King of Inspiration.

"That's the result," explained a user on the science forum.

"Shu Tianwang has a high reputation, many followers, and strong incense. So, in order to sell more, the publisher naturally started to think of crooked ideas and inserted Shu Tianwang's story into the subsequent Journey to the West, and came up with a version of 108 chapters.

"That's how Hunyuan Zhusheng came about."

"That's how Erlang Shen borrowed from Caotou Shen. After all, Caotou Bing and Caotou Shen are both popular in Sichuan. It's easy to tell they're related, so we just made them up together."

"Just like Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West, the story that came earlier was actually written later based on the former."

"So there's no need to argue, it's just a matter of different versions."

"Also, although Dark Horse claims to be entirely based on the original Journey to the West novel, in reality, it definitely incorporates a lot of other folk myths."

"So the appearance of Shu Tianwang is actually quite normal."

"I've found it!!" At this moment, the newbie who had asked for help before posted another picture.

"really----"

"There is a mission from King Shu Tian."

"Well, before entering the temple, you have to spar with a few grass-headed gods. It looks simple at first glance..."

"Just watch me..."

"Don't be so hasty!" a forum member immediately responded.

"not to be trifled……"

"Ah?" Soon, the novice came back and said in confusion.

"Why did that little monster hit me hundreds of times in a minute?"

"The first blow froze me. I couldn't move at all. I was beaten into a sieve in an instant..."

"The original form of that thing is the Thunder Gun." Someone held his forehead helplessly.

"When King Shu Tian fought against the nomads, he brought the Thunder Gun with him."

"Because the Thunderbolt will overheat if fired too quickly, it needs water to cool it down, which will easily produce water vapor."

"From a distance, it looks like the effect of ice evaporating."

"As a result, rumors spread that the rookie troops under King Shu Tian knew how to cast freezing spells."

"So in this game, once you're hit by the Grass-Headed God for the first time, you'll be frozen for the rest of the game."

"Remember to bring your own way and use fire to thaw."

"Okay, I'll try again." The novice went there excitedly.

The discussion continues in the forum.

"Speaking of the plot of this game, I feel like there's no need to guess!"

“It’s literally right there in the open.”

Myths must be based on real life.

The emperor in ancient times was supreme, so the corresponding Jade Emperor was naturally the ruler of the three realms.

The gods in charge of a region are like officials. While they hold high positions and great power, they also obey the rule of the Jade Emperor.

Therefore, many mythological stories contain satirical meanings about officialdom.

Later, King Shu Tian ended the imperial system and ushered in a completely different era.

Then, this incident naturally reflected in the myth, Ling Shu Tian Wang became the god who created the world anew.

In other words, in the traditional mythological system, Shu Tianwang is an out-and-out traitor.

The kind that is completely unpretentious.

For netizens, this is like the game related to Journey to the West, where it is revealed that the boss is carrying a dog.

There is no concealment, everything is explicit.

"Now that Shu Tianwang has appeared, the next plot will definitely be us joining forces with Shu Tianwang, Erlang Shen, Nezha and other gods to smash the Heavenly Palace to pieces."

"Then, I used the souls of countless gods and Buddhas to sacrifice blood to the Samsara Plant, and then I created the world anew."

"Hahaha, one is openly against it, one is secretly against it, one is ready to oppose it at any time, and the other has already opposed it a long time ago."

"Several great masters serve the Jade Emperor together. Is this a small blessing?"

Just as the discussion in the forum continued, a few hours later, the newbie came back.

"Brothers, we finally fought."

"Oh my god------" someone said.

"Well, I think what I said is reliable."

"Follow my instructions and I'll make sure you pass the level easily..."

But the facts were beyond their expectations.

"I'm sorry, even though I followed your instructions, I still failed..."

"Then how did you win?" asked a netizen in the forum in confusion.

The newbie smiled shyly.

"Hey hey hey"

"In the end, I really didn't want to fight anymore."

"I joined the Xieyue Sanxing Cave, the Fengling Yueying Sect..."

"Damn! Using a modifier?!"
