Traveling back to ancient times from the Western Han Dynasty

There are always people in later generations who believe that the human race is the natural protagonist of the prehistoric world. The biggest reason is that they believe that several saints became saints because of the human race, and that they benefited from the human race. They also say that the Taoist ancestor Hongjun personally appointed them and so on.

In fact, this is not the case. Human beings are not born aristocrats, and even the saints did not predict in advance that human beings would become the protagonists of heaven and earth in the future. In other words, in addition to human beings’ own efforts, the reason why human beings became the protagonists of heaven and earth was also due to many coincidences that even the saints did not predict.

Nuwa had great merit in creating human beings, not because the race she created was the human race, but because the race she created happened to conform to the laws of evolution of heaven and earth, and became a key node in the transition from innate to acquired in the trend of differentiation of the clear and turbid in the primeval world. This race happened to be the human race with an innate Tao body, and that's all.

The reason why Nuwa became a saint was not because she created the human race. The human race does not have such a big face.

He and Fuxi were not natives of the prehistoric world, but were born when Pangu created the world. They were the first ray of innate yin and yang energy derived from the chaos that was cut by Pangu's axe. They were outside the prehistoric world and were born from chaos. They wandered between chaos and the prehistoric world for many years and turned into stubborn stones.

Nuwa and Fuxi did not have to be unable to leave a limited area in order to suppress the wildness like the indigenous innate gods and demons. They were among the earliest demons to be born. Although they did not have innate karma, they had opportunities.

For example, before they landed in the prehistoric world, there was a primordial black sky that covered the prehistoric world for eternity. It was they and other innate beings who arrived and broke the sky curtain, allowing the light of the sun, moon and stars to shine on the prehistoric world. At the same time, the black sky was transformed into the ancient seven-colored sky, giving birth to the most ancient heaven.

For example, they had been blowing in the initial chaos for many years before they were born with intelligence. Their yin and yang abilities eliminated many innate disasters in the chaos. The spiritual light generated in the gap between yin and yang enlightened many spiritual treasures and creatures, and even resolved a certain catastrophe in the chaos. They are key players in the continuation of the chaos to this day.

It is worth mentioning that Nuwa is also one of the key characters in the Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe.

The Phoenix Clan suppressed the endless volcanoes and were a clan that had done great deeds for the world. The fuse for their extinction was because they had destroyed Fengqi Mountain, the Taoist temple of Nuwa and Fuxi, which led to Nuwa's reincarnation to take control of the world again and Fuxi escaping to the Huoyun Cave, which resulted in many causes and effects in later generations.

Nuwa became a saint by relying on the power of creation and the merits accumulated over the years. The merit of creating human beings was exactly the critical point. It was not as ridiculous as the rumors spread by later generations that a mother became famous because of her son.

The Three Pure Ones are similar. As the innate demon gods who are the direct descendants of Pangu, in addition to inheriting the merits of creating the world, they also have many years of merit in suppressing the sins of the creation of the world in the Kunlun Mountains, resisting the erosion of chaos, transforming the chaotic energy, and promoting the trend of clarity and turbidity.

They did not become saints because of the human race. Lao Tzu summarized and concluded his teachings on Mount Shouyang, and proved his truth on the spot. He was connected with the original heavenly destiny, and realized the great way through comparison. It was all natural for them to become saints. It's just that Mount Shouyang is a little bit close to the human race, which led to some human elements in the listeners.

Therefore, those who understand among the great powers of the prehistoric times all understand that no one thinks that the human race is the chosen one. On the contrary, most of them believe that the human race has inferior talents and is naturally at the bottom of the prehistoric class.

The human race at this time only had a vague understanding of these points, but they were very self-aware and knew that if they wanted to rise, they had to rely on their own efforts instead of dreaming about waiting for a saint to kneel down and lick their boots.

To get back to the point, after the sage Laozi preached at Shouyang Mountain, he wanted to accept a disciple, so before heading to Chaos, he left a projection to set up a trial.

This trial had caused a great stir in the ancient world, with tens of thousands of geniuses from all races participating, because the sage Laozi said that he would only accept one closed disciple.

Now, thousands of years have passed, and the trial has not yet ended. Only ten Taoists are persisting. Xuan Du is one of them, and he is also the only human among them. Many people are surprised that he, with his weak human body, has defeated those gifted humans in various tests.

Taoist Donghua had seen Xuandu in the trial many years ago and was quite optimistic about him, so he decided to bet on the human race. Most of his disciples are also human, but since the outcome is uncertain, he will not send his disciples away.

In the ancient times, there were many powerful people like Taoist Donghua who wanted to take advantage of the situation, but the human race was too weak, so it was rare for Taoist Donghua to accept human disciples.

"So that's how it is. Xuandu hasn't officially become a Saint's disciple yet? No wonder the human race is not doing so well right now."

After hearing this, Yan Fang suddenly realized something and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Yan Fang had naturally heard of the name Xuan Du.

Xuandu was just a place name, the name of an ancient vassal state or a Taoist temple in the ancient books of the previous life, but in "The Investiture of the Gods" he is the only disciple of Laozi, not to mention that in the Honghuang novels which mainly combine the stories of "The Investiture of the Gods" and "Journey to the West", some people say that he is Guiguzi, mysterious and powerful.

If the history of this ancient world had not changed much, Xuandu of the human race would definitely become the final winner of the trial.

Xuan and Qing, who were standing by, didn't know the future. After hearing the news, they were not as calm as Yan Fang. They just felt their hearts pounding and were extremely excited.

They didn't expect that the human ancestor who had not been heard from for many years and could be said to be missing was still persisting. The person who had persisted in the saint trial to this day was their ancestor, a member of their human race!

In their hearts, even if Xuandu was not selected in the end, it would still be a great honor, but...

"What is the content of the Saint Trial? Can our tribe do something to help our ancestors?"

Qing asked the question, quite excited. He thought that even if he had to sacrifice his own life, he would help his ancestors succeed and fight for the rise of the human race.

Xuan also nodded. He also wanted to ask this question, very seriously. He had never thought about the difficulty of that trial, or he wanted to do it even though he knew the difficulty. Now, the only one who could guide them was Taishan Ji in front of him.

"How can someone like me know the content of the trial?

The content of each stage of the trial is different, whether it is a discussion of the Dao, a competition, or an experience of a fantasy or a small world, and they are not necessarily in Shouyang Mountain. "

Taishan Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly. If he knew, why would he still be chatting here? He would have contacted the Suiren Tribe, Shennong Tribe, Feng Clan Tribe, the oldest and most powerful tribes of the human race.

If those people would not return to Shouyang Mountain once after each stage, becoming stronger each time they return, and the surviving losers would not come out of Shouyang Mountain, I'm afraid no one would know the result of that stage of the trial.

"Why does this trial look a bit like the main god space?"

Yan Fang secretly complained in his heart, but this routine often appears in Taoism. There are many stories about who became a Taoist after experiencing tens of millions of calamities, but it does not seem as bloody and cruel as in later novels.

“It would be great if I had the chance to meet the Xuandu Ancestor.”

Qing felt a little sorry when he heard this, and said with regret, and Xuan on the other side also nodded.

"Who knows, there should be a chance."

Yan Fang chuckled and said that Xuan must be a protagonist, and it would be normal to meet Xuan in the future.

"I just hope that my time-traveling butterfly wings won't flap too much and change history."

Yan Fang prayed silently in his heart that Xuan Du becoming Laozi's disciple was a completely good thing, and he didn't want things to develop in a bad direction because of him.

At the same time, Yan Fang thought that the affairs of saints were too far away from him and he could just listen to them. Having been beaten by society, Yan Fang did not want to participate.

In comparison, what he needs to focus on now is purchasing painting tools, finding an opportunity to intercept the luck, returning to the Western Han Dynasty, and figuring out the rules of the cloud step crossing.

"By the way, Yan Fang, can you let me take a look at you with my magic mirror?"

Halfway through the meal, Taishan Ji took out the square object wrapped in red gauze from his arms and brought up the old matter again with a very warm look in his eyes.
