Tang Dynasty, Snowwind City.
A hundred miles outside Snowwind City, one could see the largest city of the Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom, which was also built in recent years to resist the Tang Dynasty.
After all, the Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom is located at the junction of Jambudvipa and Aparagodaniya.
Once the Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom is broken, the Great Tang will have a stepping stone to attack Aparagodaniya.
At that time, the entire Aparagodaniya would be in danger.
Chu Hao and King Tang were in the Snowwind City's central military tent, discussing strategies to counter the Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom.
Of course, it was mainly King Tang and the ministers who were talking, because Chu Hao knew nothing about state affairs.
According to Chu Hao's original personality, he would have directly rushed into their camp and killed all the Buddhas and Arhats hidden in the Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom!
However, since Chu Hao learned that even the Medicine Buddha would stoop to sneak attacks, Chu Hao would no longer put himself in danger.
Especially since Chu Hao no longer had the Heavenly Yuan Magic Stone.
Although the White Lotus Boy had been severely injured by Chu Hao, it was hard to guarantee that he would not have any tricks up his sleeve.
However, Chu Hao was not in a hurry at all.
Now, it was the Western Paradise that should be anxious.
The matter should not be delayed, delay will lead to changes.
There were still many tribulations waiting for them, and once the time was later, I am afraid that the Journey to the West would become even more outrageous.
The Tathagata Buddha was too anxious, so he took this bad move.
"Chief Prison God, I have some very important things that I want to ask you about, do you have time?"
Chu Hao was a little puzzled,
"Don't ask me too much about the war, even I can't interfere too much, the karma and cause and effect here are not easy to interfere with."
King Tang shook his head,
"Not so, this battle will be long-lasting, not a year or two, and it is a battle of the Great Tang, naturally I dare not trouble the Chief Prison God."
"I just want to know, what is the meaning of the existence of mortals?"
Chu Hao raised his eyebrows high,
"What? Philosophy time?"
Fortunately, it was not the kind of philosophy where you stand obediently.
King Tang sighed:
"For many years, I have seen the common people of the world, coming and going, some striving for petty gains, some causing disaster to one side, some benefiting the people…"
"I have read history books, there are monarchs who swept across the universe, there are tyrannical rulers who are extravagant and lewd, and there are benevolent rulers who are diligent for the people…"
"However, the people of the world, no matter what, are just ants."
Speaking of this, King Tang's eyes were filled with loneliness.
He also remembered the White Lotus Boy's aloof and indifferent gaze towards life.
"I want to know, are mortals really unimportant in the Three Realms, are we born only as slaves to serve the gods and Buddhas, are we their merit for walking?"
"If so, why do we occupy a realm alone, they only need to give us a small prison to raise us? What exactly are we?"
Each word of King Tang seemed to knock between heaven and earth, a question that struck the soul.
Do mortals live only to serve the gods and Buddhas?
Chu Hao raised his eyebrows, and did not know why King Tang would suddenly ask such philosophical questions.
However, seeing the confusion in King Tang's eyes, Chu Hao could not help but feel some empathy.
Although he had already ascended to the position of a half-step Quasi-Sage, Chu Hao had never forgotten that he was first a person, and then an immortal.
Only such Chu Hao can maintain the most simple emotions, adhere to his values, distinguish between right and wrong in the Three Realms, and determine the sins and punishments of the gods and Buddhas in the Three Realms.
Like the White Lotus Boy, following the Saints, all actions are like the Saints.
If the Three Realms are destroyed, the Saints can be carefree, neither alive nor dead.
So their Saintliness is essentially rid of the life form, without all morals, only the simplest rule.
That is what they call the thing of Saintliness.
What Chu Hao was most worried about was that he would become like them in the future.
Simply put,
Although Chu Hao never does what people do, Chu Hao wants to be a person.
Therefore, Chu Hao has always been concerned about the order of the human world.
And now, King Tang's question touched Chu Hao's blind spot of knowledge.
Chu Hao thought for a while before saying to King Tang;
"I can't give you the answer."
King Tang was instantly disheartened, even the Prison God had no answer?
Could it be that people are really born to be slaves?
However, Chu Hao then said:
"However, I can tell you some history, perhaps you can find the answer yourself."
King Tang raised his eyebrows and respectfully said:
"Please Chief Prison God teach me!"
Chu Hao took a sip of tea before slowly saying:
"That was, the matter of the last two kalpas, that is… many billions of years ago."
King Tang instantly became nervous, he knew that he might be hearing the secrets of the prehistoric era that mortals could not hear.
Chu Hao's eyes were filled with melancholy, although he had not experienced it, he still felt as if he was there:
"Before the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, after the War of the Witch and Demon, the Witch and Demon were damaged and the Human Race prospered.
Haotian Yaochi ruled the Heavenly Court, and the Three Sovereigns ruled the human world: Fuxi, the Heavenly Sovereign, Shennong, the Earth Sovereign, and Xuanyuan, the Human Sovereign.
Before the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, the Human Race even vaguely surpassed the Heavenly Court, I mean, in strength and status.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors made the Human Race extremely strong, the Human Race's luck was strong, and it even vaguely had the potential to dominate, at that time the leader of the Human Race was called the Human Emperor.
Luck, shifted towards the Human Race, and the Gods and Buddhas trembled.
Then, King Zhou wrote lewd poems to the statue of the Goddess Nuwa, which ushered in the Goddess Nuwa sending the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb to attack the human world."
King Tang was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously:
"King Zhou wrote lewd poems, just a moment of evil, why did it cause the Shang and Zhou War? Since the mistake lies with King Zhou, it would be easy to remove King Zhou, with the strength of a Saint."
Chu Hao leaned back slightly and sneered:
"At that time, the Human Emperor was protected by luck, and even the Saint was helpless.
So Nuwa ordered the Three Demons to bewilder King Zhou, making King Zhou even more evil.
On the other hand, he also let Yuanshi Tianzun's disciple Jiang Ziya go down the mountain to preside over the Investiture of the Gods List, and at the same time, he loudly promoted the public opinion that Yin Zhou was昏庸无道, and that the phoenix would sing in Qishan, and a holy master would come out from the west to replace the Shang Dynasty.
After that, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity began smoothly, involving the creatures of the Three Realms, killing them in a dark and chaotic manner, and sealing the Immortals of the Intercept Sect as the Gods of the Heavenly Court.
The Western Sect also took the opportunity to gain a large number of disciples from the Intercept Sect, and then the Western Paradise rose, and there was such a large-scale Western Sect, and even seized Aparagodaniya.
And the Human Race, from then on, lost that heaven-defying luck, so there was no Human Emperor after Shang Tang.
This was the first time King Tang had heard such blasphemous words, and his worldview was refreshed once again, completely stunned.
