Chapter 806 Chaos Immortal System
The prehistoric refers to the state of chaos and ignorance, especially the ancient times. The prehistoric refers to the early state after the formation of the earth. The word "prehistoric" in ancient books usually refers to the ancient times.
The "precious world" here is a system in mythology, which reflects the battle between saints by dynasty, from Hongjun's preaching, Pangu's opening of the sky, Lich War, Nuwa's creation of humans, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, etc., to the Battle of the Gods, and the Battle of Buddhism and Taoism.
I have to say that this author is indeed very creative and connects the originally chaotic myth system as much as possible.
However, Chen Kan did not think that the planes he would experience in the future would be carried out according to this system, because this system was full of flaws in both Taoism and Buddhism. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Hongjun, a big shot in the prehistoric system.
Hongjun first appeared in "The Four Sons' Lectures on Destiny" by Wang Bao of the Western Han Dynasty, and his true reputation was after "The Romance of the Gods". The specific origin was unknown. In the middle, he was the master of the Six Saints. In the prehistoric system, he was the entity of the Great Dao, but anyone who knows Taoism knows that in orthodox Taoism, the entity of the Great Dao manifestation was Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, not Hongjun.
Because it is more popular than the biography of gods and immortals in orthodox Taoist books, many people believe it as the truth, believing that there was a Hongjun before the Three Qing Dynasties, which was completely spread by rumors. In fact, from ancient times to the present, Hongjun has been refuted by Taoism and called it an "evil theory". Buddhism does not recognize Hongjun and has repeatedly denied rumors.
As for the "Romance of the Gods", Hongjun is written as the master of the Three Pure Ones, it is actually necessary to connect with the specific historical background. This is the author's idea of the unity of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty. After the founding of the gods, several immortals from the Ayam Sect entered Buddhism (Buddhism). This is also the reason why the three religions are united and do not distinguish between each other.
Most of the disciples of the Jie Sect were on the list of gods, enthroned gods, and became members of the Heavenly Court, and surrendered to the Jade Emperor. The twelve golden immortals of the Shan Sect became immortals and did not surrender to the Jade Emperor. This was to separate the immortal power and the divine power.
The divine power represents the imperial power in the real world. This is a metaphor. In "The Investiture of Gods", Hongjun said when he gave the Investiture of Gods that the best-character way of becoming an immortal is second to the Investiture of Gods. The Investiture of Gods is under the Investiture of Gods. In "The Investiture of Gods", he respects immortals and suppresses gods, which is actually a satirical ruling regime.
Therefore, the Jie Sect, who helped the Shang Dynasty, was on the list of gods, became gods, was restricted by imperial power, and became a walking corpse, while the Xing Sect, who helped the Zhou Dynasty, became an immortal, a Buddha, and enjoyed freedom forever.
In fact, it is not just this book "The Investiture of the Gods", but the main ideas of another myth "Journey to the West" are almost the same. The time when the two books were written was similar to the author's thoughts, and they were both satirizing the rule of the court.
When Sun Wukong was making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor and the Gods were so cowardly and incompetent, which was actually a satirical motive for the rule of the court. In the first chapter, it was pointed out that Sun Wukong's ability belonged to the Immortal Creation and finally returned to the Buddha. It was also a combination of the three religions, satirizing reality, and respecting immortals and suppressing gods.
So whether it is "The Investiture of the Gods" or "Journey to the West" are all banned books under that era.
The two books "The Investiture of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" originally exist independently of each other, and if they are forced to read them before "The Investiture of the Gods", they are actually completely self-inflicted, and they are not in the same system.
This is like some readers watching Mr. Jin’s martial arts. Although it seems to be in line with each other in the dynasty, there are many problems that many people don’t understand. In fact, if you understand Mr. Jin’s order of writing books, you will understand it.
Among the twelve books, the ones that are truly coherent in the story are "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", because this is collectively called the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and is a series, which is intentionally arranged by the old man.
Don’t force the rest. These three plots were written before the Tianlong, so don’t worry about why Master Yideng didn’t learn the “Six-Meridian Divine Sword” by Duan’s Dali family and why the Xiaoyao Sect disappeared.
This is all nonsense. When Mr. Jin was writing about The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he never thought that he would write a martial art called "Six-Meridian Divine Sword" in the future. Although in dynasties, the Tianlong happened before the Legend of the Condor Heroes, the order of creation was completely opposite.
In fact, China's myth system will be messy, similar to Mr. Jin's. In addition to the large cultural differences caused by China's large territory, the biggest reason is the time of creation.
There is a characteristic of China's early history, that the further we go, the longer the previous history will be. This is a very interesting phenomenon in Chinese history.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius and other sages would only talk about the three dynasties, namely the Xia, Shang, and Western Zhou Dynasty. They like to talk about Dayu, Yi Yin, Shang Tang, Zhou Gong and others, and how the wise men of these three dynasties governed the country and told the rulers how to treat the people well to govern the country. Therefore, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the farthest history was to the Xia Dynasty and Dayu.
In the Han Dynasty, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors emerged. When the time comes to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it would be even more amazing. Pangu and other earlier mythological figures appeared. Basically, the most familiar mythological stories by the Chinese were five or six. The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties appeared.
Therefore, the further the history of China goes, the longer the "history" ahead.
Just like Mr. Jin, in chronological order, it should have been Pangu, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, but the creation time was exactly the opposite. There were three generations first, then the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and finally Pangu created the world.
The author who created the gods and immortals before could not consider the ideas of his colleagues later, and of course he could not consider them, which caused great confusion.
In short, the reasons for one series ultimately resulted in incompleteness in the Chinese mythological system, and even some characters were inconsistent and their strength was extremely chaotic.
After understanding these, the biggest warning to Chen Kan is to look at these gods and immortals when experiencing specific planes and facing these gods and immortals. Never be confused by the names of gods and immortals.
Maybe a character in the previous plane is a soldier under his command, and when he reaches the next plane, he becomes his immediate superior; or maybe a villain in the previous plane becomes a decent person when he arrives in the next plane.
At the same time, Chen Kan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because if all follow the prehistoric system, the problem would be a bit troublesome.
