Chapter 311 - The Past of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 311: The Past of Heaven and Earth
Xiaoman clenched her fist in pain.
Her firm Sword Heart was also shaken.
What was more painful than physical pain could only be a blow to the heart!
That was because…
She suddenly discovered that the Sky Demon and Asura might not be intruders at all.
On the contrary, they were also from this world.
They were created by the creatures themselves!
‘No wonder…’ Xiaoman thought. ‘No wonder they only hunt and devour intelligent creatures…’
This was something Xiaoman didn’t understand in the past.
Asura or Sky Demon.
They only targeted intelligent creatures.
Humans, demons…
And the wild beasts and insects that filled the mountains and plains, they did not even touch them.
In the past, Xiaoman attributed this to the evil of the Sky Demon and Asura.
But now it seemed…
That was not the case at all!
The Sky Demon and Asura were probably creatures in the first place!
Then the calamity of the heavens was probably not as simple as the legends said.
Therefore, creatures brought this upon themselves?
The Sky Demon and Asuras were here to collect their debts?
With this thought in mind, Xiaoman’s sword heart fell apart.
That was because if the Sky Demon and Asura were individuals who had been suppressed, exploited, and oppressed by humans and demons in the past…
They were avengers who carried hatred and anger towards the world.
In this case, their actions were reasonable to a certain extent.
This directly shook Xiaoman’s cognition.
It caused her worldview to begin to crumble.
If the Sky Demon and Asura were here for revenge, then they would no longer be so evil.
In other words, the so-called righteousness, righteous path, and sacrifice that she had insisted on since she was young instantly became extremely laughable.
Thus, her soul was slowly eroded by those lingering thoughts and distracting thoughts.
These eroded lingering thoughts and distracting thoughts whispered in her ears.
“Since you know the truth, why don’t you give up resisting?”
“Join us…”
“Join us…”
“Let’s smash this rotten world…”
“Let’s smash this torch dragon’s creation!”
Xiaoman’s pupils began to lose color, turning gray and turbid as she slowly walked toward chaos and disorder amidst the whispers.
At this moment, a shadow appeared in her soul.
A sword hum was reverberating in her soul.
This sword hum shattered those remnant thoughts and distracting thoughts.
At the same time, a window was opened.
Behind the window…
Xiaoman saw the huge hole in the sky.
That was the source of the catastrophe.
After the hole was the void.
The mysterious and unknown void.
Time seemed to be going backwards at this moment.
All the way to the era before the creation of the world.
The huge dragon head poked its head out from the boundless void.
On the Dragon Claw, there was a broken mountain ridge.
“Mountain Zhong…” The huge dragon’s eyes were filled with tears. “I finally failed to protect you…”
The huge dragon surrounded the broken mountain range.
The dragon’s eyes were filled with sorrow.
It gently lowered the mountain range on the dragon’s claw.
The mountain range fell from the starry sky and landed on a world that had just been born.
The world was chaos.
There was no matter, no time, and no space.
As the dragon blew out a dragon breath, its raging flames lit up the chaotic scene.
Thus, Heaven and Earth were created.
As the clear air rose, the turbid air descended around the mountain range.
The dragon looked at all of this, and blood even flowed out of its eyes.
“Mountain Zhong…”
“Just you wait, I’ll go back and avenge you!”
With that, the huge dragon disappeared into the boundless void.
Soon, Heaven and Earth slowly took shape after he left.
The clear air that rose became the a heaven of thirty-three levels.
The turbid air that descended formed the earth, the ocean, the mountains, and the plains.
The broken mountain range that was wrapped at the bottom was slowly mended by the Earth’s air.
No one knew how much time had passed.
There was water and air in the heaven and earth; there were also stars, Sun, and Moon.
However, there were still no signs of life in this world.
That was because this world was created by the dragon from the chaos of the void.
It was just a pocket that was embedded in the outer layer of the main universe.
Just like that, the world slowly existed in the void.
After a very long period, the giant dragon appeared again.
But at this moment, it was covered in injuries.
Its large mouth was holding an unknown number of creatures.
After it spat out these creatures into the world, it slowly left.
That was because there was a powerful enemy chasing after it.
It had to fight, it had to draw away that powerful enemy and give its own people a chance to survive.
The creatures that had been put down from the dragon’s mouth woke up one after another after the dragon left. They looked at this new world.
It was filled with confusion, and only a few people seemed to know something.
Silently, they led these people to the four directions of the world.
Time continued to move forward and the world began to prosper.
Cities were established one after another and countries appeared one after another.
Immortals and gods appeared in the sky, and cultivators appeared on the Earth.
As the number of people increased, the demon also appeared.
Both sides soon began to fight…
War, famine, and plague engulfed the world.
The desires and emotions of the people became more complicated.
These desires and emotions had nowhere to go in the world, so they were transformed into a void.
Day after day, year after year.
These desires and emotions tangled together in the void and could not dissipate for a long time.
Finally, one day, shapeless and incorporeal monsters were born from the void made up of the distorted desires and emotions.
When the monsters were born, they were filled with hatred and jealousy towards living beings!
Xiaoman looked at everything that flashed in her soul in a daze.
She gradually calmed down and her sword heart became firm again.
“Is this the background of the birth of the Sky Demon and Asura? Is it also the secret of the creation of the world?”
“Our world was indeed created by the dragon!”
“But we came from beyond the world…”
“Beneath the Earth is the broken earth that covers our true homeland?!”
She recalled the secret that she saw in her soul.
Upon taking a deep breath, she stood up again.
Since she knew that she was righteous, her sword heart was soon rebuilt.
To a sword cultivator, sword heart was a very mysterious thing.
Everything depended on one’s true heart. If one’s true heart was uncertain, then the sword heart would be shattered. If one’s true heart was firm, then the sword heart would be clear!
Slowly, Xiaoman stood up and said, “Thank you…” She thanked the shadow in her soul.
If it weren’t for him, Xiaoman would have become an evil person.
Perhaps, she had already become a member of the Sky Demon.
The shadow didn’t answer; It didn’t even react. It only acted like a puppet that recited scriptures.
“Those who look up to the Dao will be enlightened…”
It seemed that it was his instinctive reaction to recite scriptures.
