The Sutra of Nothingness

"No, you are talking nonsense! The Way of Heaven is the foundation that all of us mortals rely on and depend on for our practice! It is an extremely noble, sacred and inviolable existence, how can it be as filthy and despicable as you, the Lord of the Demon Clan?" Shangguan Duo was emotionally excited and shouted almost crazily.

"Hahahaha, you are such an innocent little kid! Your appearance reminds me of my past self! But do you know where so many races in the world come from? Why are other races much stronger than humans? In fact, the Heavenly Dao in this world we live in has been in crisis many times, and I have also been warned by the previous Son of Heaven! If I had listened to his advice, I am afraid we wouldn't be in this situation today!" Ye Wuhen looked at the young man in front of him who was in a daze due to the collapse of his worldview, and couldn't help laughing, but his words seemed to be completely opposite to his outward behavior.

"Little kid, do you still remember the legend about the birth of the world?" After Ye Wuhen stopped laughing, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he asked solemnly.

"What kind of evil remarks do you want to say? I won't believe every word you say. You are the lord of the demon clan, and your ability to bewitch people is no weaker than any other demon!" Shangguan Duo stared at Ye Wuhen fiercely. He personally had no good feelings towards the demon clan, and the series of things done by the demon lord Xu Ni made him hate them even more.

"At the beginning of the world, it was originally a chaos. It is said that a great god opened the sky and the earth and divided them into two poles! He transformed his own body into the mountains, rivers and continents in all the worlds, and only then did this world exist for life to survive. After a long period of development and changes, this world produced a group of people, that is, the legendary ancient gods and ancient beasts! And among the ancient gods there was a goddess who was good at creation. It was she who created our human race! This is the legend of the beginning of the world!" Ignoring Shangguan Duo's sarcasm, Ye Wuhen told the legend about the origin of the world.

Shangguan Duo snorted coldly and interrupted Ye Wuhen's words: "These are nothing but nonsense! Who can prove that this so-called legend is real? Maybe it's just a lie made up by people to comfort themselves."

Ye Wuhen smiled slightly, not caring about Shangguan Duo's doubts, and continued: "Although it is impossible to directly prove the authenticity of this legend, we can find a lot of evidence that is consistent with the legend from the world we live in. For example, the land, mountains, rivers, etc. we live in, aren't they the body of that great god? Moreover, in ancient times, there were indeed some creatures with extraordinary powers, which is consistent with the legendary ancient gods and ancient beasts."

Shangguan Duo frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Even so, that doesn't mean that humans were created by that goddess, right? Maybe there are other possibilities."

Ye Wuhen nodded, agreeing with Shangguan Duo's point of view: "Yes, there are indeed other possibilities. However, from the information we have so far, this legend is the most reasonable and can best explain the origin of mankind. Of course, as our understanding of the world continues to deepen, there may be new discoveries that will overturn this legend. But before that, we might as well accept it and draw some inspiration from it."

Shangguan Duo remained silent, as if thinking about Ye Wuhen's words. After a while, he asked, "Then, according to this legend, why did the goddess who created humans do this? What was her purpose?"

Ye Wuhen shook his head: "This is probably a mystery that will never be solved. Maybe the goddess has her own ideas and plans, or she just wants to bring more vitality and vigor to the world out of some goodwill. In any case, we should be grateful to this goddess, because without her creation, there would be no human beings today."

Shangguan Duo sighed: "Well, even if this legend is true, so what? What practical significance does it have for our current lives?"

Ye Wuhen smiled and replied, "This legend can make us more deeply aware of the insignificance and fragility of human beings. In the vast universe, we are just insignificant existences. At the same time, it also reminds us to cherish everything in front of us, be grateful for the gifts of nature, and work hard to protect our home. In addition, by studying the historical and cultural background behind the legend, we can also better understand the evolution of human civilization."

Shangguan Duo nodded thoughtfully: "I see... It seems that I have underestimated these legends before. Maybe I should spend more time to understand them in the future."

Ye Wuhen smiled and patted Shangguan Duo on the shoulder: "Haha, that's right! Sometimes, those seemingly absurd legends often contain profound philosophy and wisdom. As long as we feel and comprehend with our heart, we can gain many valuable inspirations from them."

"But this doesn't explain why there are so many racial issues in the world. I believe what you want to talk about is definitely not just this, right?" Although Shangguan Duo was moved by Ye Wuhen's words, he still asked cautiously.

"Indeed! This is only part of what I want to say! Human disasters have existed since the beginning of creation! Every once in a while, there will always be someone among humans who carries the fate of the entire world. That's because the Way of Heaven has encountered difficulties!"

"The sky is high above, but he is just one of the offspring under the Great Dao, and the Great Dao is the most cruel! It keeps creating offspring of the Heavenly Dao, letting them fight, strengthen themselves, and finally become its own nutrients! The Heavenly Dao that you think is high above is actually just an immature child! And its disaster comes from its brothers and sisters! We, the sons of destiny, are just the existence raised by it to ward off disasters! And the reward for our help in warding off disasters is to develop our relatives and descendants as a new and powerful race! For example, my demon clan, and there are very few races here, and the fairy world has tens of millions of different races! Each one of them was directly raised by the Heavenly Dao!" Ye Wuhen looked at Shangguan Duo very solemnly and explained.

These words left Shangguan Duo completely stunned. This was completely different from what he had experienced. In the field he knew, the Son of Fortune had always been an extremely glorious existence.
