Chapter 950: Ancient Secrets

It has been over a hundred years since I arrived in this world.

Su Fan has also gained some understanding of this world, especially regarding ancient secrets and some of the detailed content of the Investiture of the Gods.

Su Fan is no longer a complete novice.

The myths and stories he understood before are actually different from reality.

Su Fan naturally had psychological preparation for this point long ago; novels and myths are stories after all, and in the real world, while this person might exist, they might not necessarily match the novel perfectly.

Perhaps in a novel, the person you know is a righteous character, but when you reach reality, you find it is different.

Su Fan has personally experienced this.

The simplest example is the Xiaoao World; in the novel, that Junzi Sword Yue Buqun is entirely a hypocrite.

Not to mention anything else, regarding his attitude toward Linghu Chong, as his own eldest disciple, he even had to guard against him regarding the Zixia Secret Manual.

But in reality, having experienced it personally, Su Fan is very clear that Old Yue is not actually that bad.

Compared to Zuo Lengchan, he is much better.

In the novel, he became so bad actually because of the constant pressure from Zuo Lengchan; external pressure forced him to go mad.

Old Yue actually treated the disciples of the Huashan Sect very well, and for Linghu Chong, he even held very high hopes.

But unfortunately, Old Yue entrusted his hopes to the wrong person; it was only after Su Fan appeared later that Old Yue gradually let go of his hopes for Linghu Chong.

And under Su Fan's leadership, the Huashan Sect developed better and better, and Old Yue eventually became a true gentleman in name and deed.

Therefore, the characters in novels can actually change, and they are not accurate.

This Mythical World is the same.

In the Mythical World, the Investiture of the Gods was a struggle between the Three Teachings.

But through Dayu, he understood that this was not just the Three Teachings; it was actually a struggle between the Human Race and the immortals and gods, an attempt by the Human Race to resist those immortals and gods.

It was even an attempt to resist the Saints.

From Dayu's mouth, Su Fan learned that ever since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Human Race had never stopped wanting to take back their own Qi of Luck and power.

As the overlords of Honghuang, the Human Race was still like a Puppet of the Heavenly Dao, controlled by those Saints and those of the Immortal Dao.

This was something the upper echelons of the Human Race were unwilling to see; if the Human Race were just like before, merely one of the Ten Thousand Races, they would not have resisted.

But after the development of hundreds of Yuanhui, the strength of the Human Race had become stronger and stronger; it would be no exaggeration to say they were the most powerful of the Ten Thousand Races.

As such, they were naturally unwilling to bow down and submit.

It was just that the Human Race lacked a Heavenly Dao Saint, so their combat power in this regard was a bit lacking.

Thus, the Human Race wanted to resist, and to resist the Saints, they needed the power of a Saint.

So, starting from the Yin-Shang or even the Xia, the Human Race began looking for a target, and in the end, they chose Tongtian Shengren.

Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi once used great divine abilities to calculate a corner of the future.

Although he did not know what the future held, calculating a corner of the future where heaven and earth were broken left a deep impression on Fuxi.

With this, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors gathered the sages of Fire Cloud Cave and formulated a plan.

The Investiture of the Gods was a measure of calamity, but was it not also pushed by human hands?

The Human Race could not influence the great battle of the Saints, but the discord within the Three Teachings was something Honghuang had long known about.

Coupled with the personality of Tongtian Shengren and combining all of this, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors formulated this plan to defy heaven.

For this plan, the Human Race even sacrificed the peak Yin-Shang.

The Yin-Shang at that time had already developed for hundreds of thousands of years; by the time of Zishou, it was at its peak, and the dynasty's Qi of Luck had already manifested the momentum of the Xuan Bird.

Perhaps if it continued to develop slowly, the Human King Zishou would have become the ninth Human Emperor.

However, for the sake of the plan of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, even the Yin-Shang had to be sacrificed in the end; the Human Race could be said to have failed, but they also succeeded.

What failed was that Tongtian Shengren was defeated, the Yin-Shang was finished, and the Heavenly Court remained the Heavenly Court.

But they did succeed; the battle of the Saints caused Honghuang to break, the Heavenly Dao was severely damaged, and the Saints were stopped and unable to enter the Earth Immortal World.

Eventually, the Saints left Honghuang.

This gave the Human Race an opportunity.

Without the Heavenly Dao Saints, the pressure on the Human Race was actually much less, and the foundation of the Human Race was constantly strengthened.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all experts, especially the Three Sovereigns who were at the Quasi-Saint level, and the Human Race also had the Innate Human Race; the surviving Ancestors were also not weak in strength.

In the future, when confronting those immortals and gods, the Human Race would definitely not be too inferior.

Therefore, the Human Race's schemes in the Investiture of the Gods were profound; for the sake of the scheme, they even sacrificed a peak Human dynasty.

One must know that if the Yin-Shang had really been allowed to continue developing, there might have been a ninth Human Emperor; one must know that for any generation of a Human Emperor's dynasty, not only would this Human Emperor become a top-tier powerhouse, but many powerhouses would also be born within the dynasty.

This was the case during the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors; the most famous was the Protector General of Human Emperor Xuanyuan, Yinglong.

Yinglong himself was considered a Dragon Clan member with impure blood; if he had relied solely on himself, he might not have been able to cultivate to a Golden Immortal in his entire life.

After all, Yinglong was also of the Dragon Clan, naturally bearing the Karma of heaven and earth; if the Karma was not eliminated, he would never be able to ascend to a Golden Immortal.

This is why the Dragon Clan, despite guarding the Four Seas and possessing massive resources, never had much power; apart from a few old immortals who survived from the ancient era, the strongest of the new generation were only Golden Immortals.

The bloodline and origin of the Ancestral Dragon were definitely not much worse than those of the Innate Divine.

But unfortunately, the Karma between heaven and earth made it impossible for these new generation Dragon Clan members to break through; only the Four Seas Dragon King, relying on the massive Qi of Luck of the Four Seas, reached the Golden Immortal level.

However, for the vast Four Seas, a Golden Immortal was of no use at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dragon Clan still had a few old immortals, the Dragon Clan would have been overthrown long ago.

After all, the living beings within the Four Seas are not just the Dragon Clan.

As a Dragon Clan member with mixed blood, according to his original path, it would have been very difficult for him to reach Golden Immortal in his life, yet he met Human Emperor Xuanyuan and even became his mount.

When Human Emperor Xuanyuan was conquering the world, Yinglong was always at the front; eventually, Human Emperor Xuanyuan became the co-lord of the Human Race, and Yinglong was also lucky.

During the time of Human Emperor Xuanyuan, he not only eliminated his own Karma, but his cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds, eventually becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

He could be considered the most powerful right-hand man beside Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

Yinglong is like this; in fact, during the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, many powerhouses were also born.

Zishou of the Yin-Shang is also like this; if he were truly allowed to become the Human Emperor, then the Yin-Shang would be different.

It is a pity that for the sake of the Human Race's schemes, the Yin-Shang was abandoned, and that Human King also sacrificed himself; this price cannot be called small.
