Black Myth! Wukong kills gods and Buddhas!

Chapter 64: Stepping Down from the Altar

In the vast universe of Chinese mythology, the gods only sit high above the nine heavens, ruling over everything. The most honorable among them are none other than the five supreme emperors - the Jade Emperor of Haotian Jinque, the Northern Emperor of Ziwei, the Southern Emperor of Tianji, and the Emperor of Tianqi Rensheng of Mount Tai, the Emperor of Sitian Zhaosheng of Mount Heng, the Emperor of Zhongtian Chongsheng of Mount Song, the Emperor of Antian Xuansheng of Mount Heng, and the Emperor of Jintian Yuansheng of Mount Hua. They were once the most untouchable existences in the world, but now, an unprecedented legend is quietly unveiling the prelude to their dethronement.

Since Pangu created the world, the heaven and earth have been in order, and all things have grown. However, as time goes by, an unprecedented undercurrent surges in the depths of the heavens. The Supreme Jade Emperor of Haotian Jinque, sitting in the Lingxiao Palace, overlooking all living things, sensed a hint of something unusual. He summoned the four great emperors, including the Northern Taihuang Emperor of Zhongtian Ziwei, the Southern Tianhuang Emperor of Gouchen Shanggong, to discuss the danger of the heavens.

"My dear ministers, I feel that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is gradually declining, and there seems to be a sign that the order is loosening. As the masters of heaven, how should we maintain the peace of this world?" The voice of the Jade Emperor echoed in the empty hall, sounding particularly solemn.

The four great emperors looked at each other, all realizing the seriousness of the situation. The Purple Star Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, although we hold the power of heaven and earth, everything has its destiny. Perhaps this is the inevitable cycle of heaven and earth. However, we cannot sit idly by and do nothing. We must find the root cause and resolve this crisis."

In order to find out the truth, the Five Emperors decided to go down to the mortal world and travel around the human world to find the key to maintaining the balance between heaven and earth. They gave up their supreme power and majesty, transformed themselves into mortals, and embarked on this journey full of unknowns and dangers.

The Supreme Jade Emperor of Haotian Jinque, under the alias of Yunyouzi, travels among mountains, rivers, lakes and seas to experience the world; the Emperor Taihuang of Zhongtian Ziwei Beiji transforms himself into a scholar, goes deep into the market and listens to the voices of the people; the Emperor Nanji Tianhuang of Gou Chen Shanggong lives in seclusion in the mountains, keeps company with birds and beasts, and comprehends the way of nature; and the Five Great Emperors of the East, South, Center, North and West each choose a region, and as guardians, silently guard the creatures on this land.

In the mortal world, the Five Emperors gradually discovered that true power does not come from divine power, but from the love and faith in people's hearts. Yunyouzi witnessed the heroic feat of people uniting to fight natural disasters during a flood; Ziwei Emperor witnessed the perseverance of countless poor children in changing their fate through unremitting efforts during an imperial examination; Nanji Tianhuang Emperor of Gou Chen Shanggong realized the true meaning of harmonious coexistence of all things in the mountains and forests; Wuyue Emperor witnessed the piety and admiration of countless believers for them, and this belief was like a beacon, illuminating their way forward.

As time went by, the experiences of the Five Emperors in the human world gradually awakened the divine power deep in their hearts. They began to realize that the real divine power was not used for conquest and rule, but for protection and guidance. Through challenges and tests, they learned how to use their divine power to help those in need and to maintain the balance and harmony between heaven and earth.

When the Five Emperors gathered again in the Lingxiao Palace, they were no longer the high and mighty gods, but had become more mature and profound beings. They integrated what they had learned in the human world into the governance of the heavens, making the heavens glow with unprecedented vitality and vigor.

“Although we are gods, we also come from the human world. Only by keeping our original aspirations in mind can we protect this world.” The words of the Jade Emperor were like a spring breeze, warming everyone's heart.

From then on, the Five Emperors not only continued to perform their duties in heaven, but also often transformed into mortals, traveled between the human world, and used their wisdom and strength to protect this land full of love and hope. Their stories have also become a legend passed down by later generations, inspiring generations to pursue their own "black myth".

As time went by, the Five Emperors left deeper and deeper footprints in the human world. They not only became the patron saints in people's hearts, but also became the bridge between heaven and earth. Whenever the human world encountered a major disaster or difficulty, the Five Emperors would always appear in time to give guidance and help, allowing people to feel the warmth and strength from heaven.

The Five Great Emperors have each built temples in their respective territories, offering incense and worship, making them holy places for believers to pray for peace and blessings. During festivals or special days, the temples are always crowded with people and incense, and believers pray devoutly, hoping that the Five Emperors can bless them and their families with peace, health, and good weather.

The Jade Emperor and the Four Great Emperors set up special institutions in the heavens to collect information from the human world, understand the sufferings of the people, and ensure that the decisions made by the heavens can truly benefit the human world. They also personally guide the immortal officials to practice, improve their abilities and wisdom, so that they can better serve the human world.

However, the peace of the heavens did not last long. A powerful force from a foreign land quietly approached the Chinese mythology universe. This force, with the purpose of conquest and plunder, attempted to break the balance of heaven and earth and plunge the entire world into chaos and destruction.

Faced with this unexpected challenge, the Five Emperors once again joined hands to resist the foreign enemy. They not only mobilized all the forces of heaven, but also mobilized the heroes of the world to form a powerful coalition.

In this epic war, the Five Emperors and the allied forces fought bloody battles, showing unparalleled courage and wisdom. They used their own magical powers and magic weapons to engage in fierce battles with the enemy. Every charge was full of life and death tests; every battle of wits was breathtaking.

After countless fierce battles and sacrifices, the Five Emperors and the coalition forces finally achieved the final victory. They not only successfully repelled the foreign forces, but also recovered the occupied territories and maintained the balance and harmony of heaven and earth.

After the war, the Five Emperors did not stop. They knew that true peace required long-term efforts and maintenance. So they began to rebuild the homes destroyed by the war and help people restore their production and living order. At the same time, they also strengthened the connection and cooperation between heaven and earth, and jointly built a more stable and prosperous cosmic system.

In this process, the Five Emperors established a deeper emotional bond with the people. They were no longer high and mighty gods, but became the closest and most trusted friends in the hearts of the people. Their names and deeds were forever engraved in the long river of history, becoming stories and examples passed down by later generations.
