Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

On the day when the sun stopped rising from the top of Shenmu, the God Realm was caught off guard and plunged into darkness.

The residents of the God Realm, who have long been accustomed to the light, panicked. Although they were not in chaos, they also lost their usual calmness—if there was no light, what would they be like in the Demon Realm?All the gods set their sights on Brahma, the great god in charge of the God Realm—because he is the only one shining in the dark.

Brahma was inspired by the spiritual world. Since Yuan Ling is conceived by the condensation of spiritual energy, can it follow this method to consciously create a life comparable to Yuan Ling?But pure spiritual energy is not so easy to find, especially after the formation of the spirit world, there are fewer and fewer scattered outside.Brahma collected them calmly, because he had expected such a day, seeing the tree of life withering day by day, and the light of the sun above its head was getting dimmer day by day, but everyone chose to turn a blind eye.Once the tree of life dies, it means that no new gods will be born in this world. The prosperity of this world has reached its peak, and then it will probably only go downhill. No one wants to admit this, even though it is a fact.

When the expected darkness came, Brahma gathered together the aura of heaven and earth collected over the years, almost exhausted his divine power, and went without sleep or rest for seven days, and actually created a unique divine object—but that was not Yuan. A life like a spirit, but a bead.The bead was the size of a human head, and it was crystal clear, with a vibrant aura flowing inside, as if it was gestating a new universe.As soon as it was born, it was full of brilliance, emitting a thousand-zhang glow, which immediately illuminated the entire God Realm like daytime.

The residents of the God Realm were relieved that there was such an orb, which was more useful than the sun, so they dispersed one after another and re-invested in their own cultivation.Brahma placed the orb on the top of the Tower of Reincarnation, the center of the God Realm, and it has since become an inextinguishable light in the God Realm. He himself also lives on the top of the tower, overlooking all living beings in the Three Realms every day, and is inseparable from the Orb.

——The above is excerpted from the article "What the Eight-Eight God and the Light Bulb Have to Say" in the "Legend" section of "Three Realms News".

"Who is the light bulb?!" Baozhu threw away the newspaper angrily.

"You want to read it yourself, and you will lose your temper after reading it." Brahma bent over to pick up the newspaper, folded it and put it on the pile of newspapers next to him, then turned around and patted his head, comforting him: " You are not a light bulb, you are the treasure of the God Realm."

"..." Baozhu was at a loss for words for a moment, her transparently white ears were stained pink, and quickly changed the subject: "Who is running this "Three Realms News"?"

"I don't know," Brahma said, "There are only two things in the Three Realms that I can't see through, and this is one of them."

"And one more thing?"

Brahma just looked at him with a slight smile and didn't answer.

Baozhu froze for a moment, lowered her eyes silently, her pure white eyelashes trembled slightly like a thick bird feather.

He couldn't help thinking of thousands of years ago, when he first became conscious, he seemed to wake up from a long dream. In the dream, there was always a person chattering beside him. It couldn't remember what that person said, only I remember his voice, low and gentle, it seemed very patient, and it made him feel very comfortable.That was the first time it opened its eyes, looking eagerly like a newborn baby, and then saw Brahma.

He sat upright on the rosette, his whole body was covered with a soft halo, and he couldn't see clearly.Soon, the hazy halo disappeared, his facial features gradually became clear, and he slightly lowered his eyelids to look at himself, and there was silence in his deep eyes.

"I am Brahma," he said, with a slight smile on his solemn face.

Baozhu, who had just opened up her consciousness, froze for a moment, not knowing how rare this smile was, but it recognized Brahma's voice, which made her feel at ease.

"Hmm..." He still couldn't speak, he hesitated for a long while and only uttered a vague syllable.

Seeing it rolling around in dissatisfaction, Brahma couldn't help laughing, and comforted him: "Don't worry, since you have divine consciousness, you will soon learn to speak."

The beads rolling all over the ground stopped.

After that, Brahma taught it the cultivation method of inhaling and exhaling, but it was more interested in learning to speak, and soon, it learned the first sentence——

"Brahma." A clear and tender voice sounded, as if it had the texture of pearls and jade falling, crisp and sweet.

Brahma was taken aback, Baozhu thought he had said something badly, and repeated it in a straight voice, "Brahma?"

After a while, Brahma stretched out his hand and lightly touched the smooth and cold bead wall, and smiled slightly, "Yeah."

The orb is like a sponge, quickly absorbing all the knowledge imparted by Brahma. He is full of curiosity about this world and wants to know everything about it.

"Brahma, Brahma, Brahma..." The orb persevered and rolled around the great god who was meditating, and Brahma had no choice but to open his eyes.

"Tell me more about the Three Realms!" Baozhu begged.

From its birth to now, it has never left the Reincarnation Tower, and it has never overlooked the God Realm because it cannot reach the window. For a while, it thought the world was only this big, until one day, he tried to jump up , Through the window, I can see the glow outside and a small dead treetop in the distance.

"What is that?" it asked Brahma.

"That is the treetop of the Tree of Life. In the God Realm, only the Tree of Life is as high as the Tower of Reincarnation."

"God Realm? Is this called God Realm?"

Brahma nodded.

"What is the tree of life?"

Brahma was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "At the beginning of the primordial world, the Great God of Creation split the chaos and formed the current world. The Great God split the place of chaos, formed a spring, and grew the first tree of life. Then, today The God Realm and the Demon Realm grew two trees respectively, and the first gods and demons were all conceived and born from the fruit of the tree of life."

When Baozhu heard this for the first time, her eyes widened in surprise, "Brahma, you grew from a tree!?"

Seeing its fuss, Brahma couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes."

"Then, did I grow from that tree too?"

Brahma shook his head, "You are not, you were conceived and conceived by me collecting the aura of heaven and earth."

"Oh..." It didn't grow from the tree like Brahma, which disappointed Baozhu, "Why?"

"Because the tree of life has dried up." Brahma looked up at the bare branches outside the window with a lonely expression, "No new god will be born again."

"Are you sad? Brahma?" The orb gently rolled to his hand and rubbed against him, trying to comfort him with the language level of a bead: "I am a newborn, and I will be with you."

Brahma was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, leaned over and put it in his hand, without saying a word.

On that day, Baozhu learned that besides her own God Realm, there are Demon Realm, Celestial Realm, Underworld, Demon Realm, Human World... and many, many small worlds, which are collectively referred to as "Three Realms".The three realms sound very, very big, but the orb has no concept. How big is it?How does it compare to the Tower of Reincarnation?It doesn't know anything about it.It's just a bead, it has no limbs, no mana, and it can't go anywhere.

Seeing its ignorance and ignorance, Brahma told it some interesting stories in the Three Realms from time to time, and it was admiring and strange to hear the orb.

"You also stay here all day like me, how do you know so much?"

Brahma pointed to his own eyes, "I can see."

"Then why can't I see it?" it asked innocently.

Brahma smiled again, patted its round body, changed the topic, and talked about what was happening in the world, Baozhu was immediately attracted, and left the previous question behind.

Since then, storytelling has almost become their daily homework. Baozhu can't wait to complete the training tasks assigned by Brahma, and then pester Brahma to tell her what happened in the Three Realms today.It is always fascinated by listening to it, those things are much more interesting than staying in the reincarnation tower, gradually, I can't help but be fascinated.

After brewing for several days, Baozhu asked Brahma full of expectation: "Can you take me to see it?"

Brahma's expression changed immediately.

But Baozhu didn't notice it, and still said with great interest: "The stories you tell every day are so interesting! I want to see it with my own eyes, okay?"

Brahma was silent for a long time, and finally answered: "Not good."

His voice was very soft, with a hint of imperceptible guilt, but so firm, leaving no room for it.These two words were like a basin of cold water, which instantly quenched Baozhu's enthusiasm. It stopped chattering and stared blankly at Brahma, as if it still couldn't react.

—Because Brahma had never refused its request before.

After a while, it found its own voice: "...why?"

Brahma slowed down his tone: "You can't even change form, how can you get out? Although the outside is interesting, it is also full of danger."

"Then I'll work hard to cultivate, and when I can transform into form, can you take me there?" Baozhu begged eagerly.

Brahma was noncommittal, and said softly: "Let's talk about it later."

"..."

After that, Brahma seldom brought up matters of the Three Realms on his own initiative, and only said a little bit when Baozhu repeatedly begged, and instead of talking about interesting things before, he only said some terrible things.These did not frighten Baozhu, the yearning for the outside world had already taken root in its heart.

But every time he mentioned going to see the Three Realms, Brahma would change the topic. Slowly, Baozhu, who had gradually developed his spiritual wisdom, began to realize that Brahma didn't want him to leave the Tower of Reincarnation.It didn't know why, but the knowledge was enough to disappoint it.

On this day, someone hurriedly came to the tower to report that a god named "Luo Lang" had rebelled, and they couldn't stop him.Brahma hastily explained a few words, then rushed to deal with the matter, and the orb was left in the tower by himself.

It was the first time that the peaceful God Realm was so noisy, Baozhu rolled around a few times in boredom, finally couldn't hold back her curiosity, and tried to jump to the window sill to have a look.Now it already has some meager mana, which is much more powerful than when it was just born.Sure enough, after several attempts, it successfully jumped onto the window sill. At first sight, it saw a group of angry gods shouting in the distance. Baozhu immediately recognized Brahma who was surrounded by them. The great god was still calm and unhurried. , but the generals around him were already jumping in a hurry.

At this time, Baozhu heard a slight noise, looked down, and saw that a huge bundle was moving under the tower, and after a careful look, she realized that it was a person carrying a bundle.

It suddenly had a thought, since Brahma didn't want to take it out, then it should go by itself.

This was just a whim, but Baozhu had no time to think about it. The longing for the outside world occupied all of its mind at this moment. Seeing that person was about to pass under the window where it was, it gritted its teeth, closed its eyes, and gently turned to the window. Roll outside.

"Puchi—" There was a soft sound, and it just fell into the baggage.

The man seemed to be aware of it, and stopped suddenly, "Huh?" The orb was so frightened that it rolled into a fairy silk and hid it, not daring to breathe out.Fortunately, as the pursuers approached, the man didn't care about it, and moved quickly towards the edge of the God Realm.

The moment he stepped out of the barrier, it was as if someone flipped a light switch, and the entire God Realm suddenly went dark.When Baozhu turned her head and saw the dark God Realm, she was startled, and suddenly felt that she had caused a terrible disaster.

But when it came to its senses, it was already far away from the God Realm.

3000 years after the tree of life dried up, the orb of reincarnation was stolen, and the God Realm was once again silently shrouded in darkness.
