Myriad Paths

And all of this is developing under Haotian's gentle gaze.

Sentient beings are constantly experiencing things they have never experienced or imagined.

There are some things that even Haotian has never experienced.

Because although Haotian is a born first-class person who has transcended the world itself from the moment he was born, and his existence is more magnificent and more real than the universe, there are still many things that he has not yet understood and has not yet imagined.

At this moment, Haotian is a young man with great power. His mind has not matured to the point where it has been tempered by the reopening of the infinite universe to the point where it is almost omniscient as it is now.

At that time, Haotian was still amazed by the world and was very interested.

Looking back from now, he watched the creatures born in the first universe with almost joy, watching these creatures fight and kill each other for their own survival and various interests, but at the same time, this In this kind of struggle, many beautiful things are born.

Love, humanity, wisdom, knowledge, progress, art, music, many things have been created.

Especially 'music', Haotian likes music very much, so much so that music is an indispensable part of all rituals related to Haotian's sacrifice.

At this moment, from the perspective that the universe has been reopened many times, we can clearly see why everything Haotian and all races did in the past.

At that time, Haotian understood the universe in the same way that all races understand music. The universe was composed of a series of qualities, different pitches, and different intensities.

When he was young, Haotian had an extraordinary interest in this toy and had great fun playing with it. He created endless main and counterpoint melodies from it.

For Haotian at that time, it was still difficult for him to exhaust all the subtleties of music by relying on his own "creativity". Although he made many attempts, he even ran out of inspiration in the end.

However, at this time, he discovered that he had created a lot of lifeless music before, such as genetic genes, self-replication and the like. There were not many of them, but some of them went against Haotian's own ideas. The original intention began to show its own unique traces of life.

There are notes in their melodies that Haotian did not compose.

However, Haotian was not angry. He could even be said to be observing them with great interest. He found that these beings who composed their own unknown notes could always be aroused by various stimuli and inspire new ideas, which Haotian had never felt before. Conception.

Therefore, he deliberately projected his own feelings and wishes into it. Under his instruction, the mind with the ability to perceive began to embody certain characteristic patterns and laws.

This made Haotian feel happy, because the new creations of mortals gave him new inspiration.

This also led to the emergence of the position of "Da Le Zheng". The so-called "D Le Zheng" is to encourage Haotian during sacrifices, compose music in daily life, and educate others about the power of music.

The music department divides the music into sequences, offering sacrifices, enjoyment, and worship. They play the yellow bell, sing the song Dalu, and dance on the cloud gate to worship the gods.

According to the saying of Humanity at that time, it was called: "All sound originates from the human heart. When the human heart moves, things make it happen. It is moved by things, so it is shaped by sound. The sound forms a square, which is called sound."

Music is where sound comes from. It is based on the human heart's feelings on things. Therefore, if someone is feeling sad, his voice will be choked to death; if he is feeling happy, his voice will be warped and slowed down; if he is feeling happy, his voice will be loose; if he is feeling angry, his voice will be rough and sharp. Those who are moved by respect, their voices are direct and honest; those who are moved by love, their voices are harmonious and soft.

There is a similar expression in witchcraft, which is called: "Every sound comes from the human heart. Heaven and man are connected, like the image of a shadow, and the echoes are echoes. Therefore, those who do good will be rewarded with blessings; those who do evil will be rewarded by heaven. It’s natural to be in trouble.”

If the spring palace is the rhythm of autumn, all flowers will wither; if the autumn palace is the rhythm of spring, all things will flourish; if the summer palace is the rhythm of winter, rain and hail will fall; if the winter palace is the rhythm of summer, thunder will sound. Husband, music is the most important, and the feelings are great.

Therefore, it is said: "Those who know the emotions of rituals and music can write them, and those who know the literature of rituals and music can describe them."

When a sage makes music, he must spread the Qi to harmonize and follow the yin and yang. The best music is not called sound. It must first follow the heavens and regulate people, get it from the heart, and adapt to the nature, and then use the sound to play. To bend the ear.

The four seasons come one after another, all things are born in cycles, one is prosperous and one is declining, the civil and military ethics are clear and the other is turbid, the yin and yang are harmonious, and the flow fills its sound.

When the four seasons turn around, the insects begin to strike. They are startled by thunder, played by the harmony of yin and yang, lit by the brightness of the sun and moon, and the laws of nature fill the sky and the earth.

The six rhythms, six syllables, five tones, eight tones, and six dances are the great harmonious music that can bring peace to ghosts and gods, harmonize nations, harmonize all peoples, entertain guests, and talk to people from far away.

This shows the importance of music in the sacrifices and various magical arts at that time.

In the eyes of all races at that time, the most terrifying state of society was the "collapse of rituals and music", which meant that civilization was cut off and everything was ruined.

Through music, all things established a connection with Haotian. Eventually, gods began to descend to the mortal world in large numbers to lead mortals.

With the help of sacrifices, rituals and music, all races have their own 'witches'.

Yes, witches are not unique to the human race. As long as they communicate with the original great gods, they can be called witches. There is no racial distinction.

Then, various races also began to develop among themselves, and on that ancient continent, rounds of competition for hegemony among all races began.

The gods were happy to see this, especially Haotian. From his boiling imagination, races emerged one after another, each one richer and more exquisite than the last.

Under Haotian's hands, the patterns of physical characteristics he played with produced individuals that they themselves did not possess, and different life races were born.

Real life burst out, which is amazing. Life can create things that Haotian is also happy about. Other gods cannot imagine the amazing creativity of those weak mortals.

In this primitive world where Haotian can be said to be 'omniscient', everything created by mortals is Haotian's 'unknown'. Therefore, under Haotian's instruction, these creatures began to shape the ancient continent according to their own forms. , fighting with each other, these lives fight desperately, and each one thinks that they are right. When they fail miserably, they suffer terribly, but when they succeed, they are also ecstatic.

In such an atmosphere, all races stood side by side, united vertically and horizontally, and eventually climbed up step by step, and various cultivation methods were developed.

Martial arts training, Taoism breathing, witches and wizards began to try to get into combat with the blessings of gods and earth, even though they were not very skilled in fighting.

Monsters began to use their own body instincts, and true dragons began to take shape.

As their cultivation level improved and their technical level developed, they quickly developed new things.

All kinds of thoughts began to appear, all because of practicing the exercises.

These new ideas are very diverse, both biologically and psychologically.

A small number of species are lucky enough to be able to upgrade along the way and evolve more complete individual characteristics and clearer minds.

In some cultivation methods, the biological functions of species are fixed. As long as you start practicing, you will gain fixed strength. There is no such process as "becoming stronger".

Some practices will actually become weaker.

Various techniques have been created, and various physical forms are too numerous to mention. Generally speaking, each creation is more complex and larger than the last one.

Mortals even began to ‘open the sky’.

The volume of the ultimate physical unit of the universe itself began to expand, becoming larger and larger relative to the volume of the entire universe.

In terms of biological populations, the number of conscious biological individuals and different populations in each universe is also increasing, and the most awakened creatures have reached a higher level of intelligence than before.

Some of the gods began to panic, because mortals who had mastered the power of opening the sky had already mastered the authority of gods to a certain extent.

They also learned to control Qi, they learned to create life, they wouldn't even die anymore.

In this regard, the gods also had differences.

Some are ready to destroy mortals, because in the "open sky", mortals "kill gods".

The mortal beings who had mastered the power of opening the sky killed the gods, including some gods of high rank.

Some gods think it's not a big deal. They don't distinguish between mortals and gods so clearly. We are all beings with high intelligence and there is no difference.

Just like mortals killing each other, the gods also did it to each other, and now it's just the same as before.

Some were extremely angry, some because they could not accept the pets they had raised, some because they could not accept their brothers and friends being killed, and some because they were afraid that their status as gods would be challenged.

The views of mortals led to the division of the gods, leading to differences in 'ideas'.

Compared with material competition, ideological differences... are much more terrifying.

Material differences can be bridged. As long as there are enough things, everyone can turn enemies into friends.

Philosophical differences cannot be bridged. Either you die or I die.

So, under the leadership of the gods, the mortals also began to fight.

But this time they are not fighting for survival supplies and territory, but for each other's ideas.

Haotian is still watching all this, tenderly but indifferently. He will not change anything. These things that he did not expect are all good. In Haotian's view, even the two sides of the battle are beautiful. 'a part of.

They were fighting for what they wanted, so what reason did they have to stop them?

So... the emperor and the emperors split.

Thousands of races fought in chaos, and the only continent collapsed as a result.

Mount Buzhou was broken, the pillars of heaven were destroyed, the sky was leaked, and floods fell from the sky.

So Emperor Wa mended the sky, Emperor Yu controlled the floods, and Emperor Gaoyang made the sky clear.

All this... lasted until the birth of the second 'First Grade'.

Under the hope of all living beings, the second first-class man appeared.

At that time, there was no concept of grade, and everyone called the strong in their own way, but... Haotian was still unique.

No one can reach the level of Haotian. The Emperor of Heaven is the strongest and greatest god, a majestic existence that cannot be spoken or even looked directly at.

It is said that no one can reach Haotian, no one can touch Haotian.

However, after this battle, the Lord of the Stars, the 'Emperor of Tai' and 'Tai Emperor', completed this great initiative.

That is the descendant of Haotian, the god named ‘Tai Yi’.

After that, the universe ushered in its first 'reset'.

Just as Li Qi thought.

For Yipin, when they are born, they will inevitably need to reopen.

The reason is very simple.

This was Li Qi's guess.

There was a person who got a blank book. He was surprised to find that this book was a "script of the real world". As long as he wrote words on it, everything written on it would come true intact.

However, just when he happily began to reshape reality according to his own wishes, this man suddenly discovered that he was not the only one writing in the book.

There seem to be many other authors on the book.

Therefore, this composer of reality can easily have a suspicion——

That is, maybe there is someone who is writing himself?

Therefore, he made a decision, which was to write directly: "In the beginning, I was the only one who could write on this."

In this way, all the authors of this book are the ‘first authors’. (See Chapter 900 for details)

At that time, the beings with reality were shocked to find that everything had happened again.

Everything that happened before seemed to have never happened.

Everything seems like a joke.

Even Haotian himself was shocked, because Haotian has never thought of using his own power to reopen everything. As the 'real first author' of the universe, he has never thought of doing so, and naturally he will not Do this.

But it is obvious that Taiyi realizes this. He is not the first author, so he must modify himself to become the first author, otherwise he will be controlled by Haotian forever.

So he did it.

Haotian didn't stop him, he was always so gentle.

But the result of this reopening was that a large number of powerful people from all races had their Taoist hearts collapsed.

They begin to question everything that exists and whether the reality they are in at this moment is the real reality.

Does this universe...really exist?

Because this time backtracking, everything they did was defeated, and everything they did seemed to be a joke.

In this large-scale collapse of the Taoist heart...

The ‘demon’ was born.

The third first product appeared.

From all sentient beings, to even Haotian, Taiyi's heart, this uneasiness, this fear of the instability of 'reality', doubts about all existence, and the myth of whether the universe is meaningful have given rise to the universe's The second one is born with a first-class talent.

He transformed into a demon of freedom.
