"How much do you know about the Great Brahma Heaven and the Falling Sky Night?" Long Chen asked.
Long Chen was also very curious about the Great Brahma Heaven and the Falling Sky Night. Why did Long Chen feel a genuine aversion toward the two gods—no, rather, a kind of resentment.
Long Chen wasn't sure whether this resentment came from the Dan Emperor's memories, the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, or from his true heart.
"What we know about the Great Brahma Heaven and the Falling Sky Night comes from the legacy of Dan Valley.
According to the records of the Pill Valley's divine genealogy, these two deities—Great Brahma Heaven opened the path of alchemical fire, and Luo Tianye opened the path of furnace building.
One was skilled in the fire of myriad paths and only practiced alchemy; the other was skilled in forging artifacts and furnaces, but only forging pill furnaces and cauldrons. One refined pills, the other forged furnaces, both known as masters of alchemy. Without them, there would be no alchemy. The High Priest said.
"That's just nonsense."
Long Chen retorted, but as soon as he finished speaking, he sensed something was off and hurriedly apologized: "High Priest, I didn't mention you. What I mean is, the Divine Register of Dan Valley is talking nonsense." The
High Priest smiled faintly, unconcerned, and looked at Long Chen with interest: "Looks like you have an idea. Tell me about it." "
It's not really about it. These two are shameless. There's no way they could possibly be the masters of the alchemy." Long Chen said with a look of disdain.
"Why?" The High Priest asked.
"This is like the question that troubles the world: which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Regardless of which came first, whether chicken or egg, it definitely wouldn't appear out of nowhere. There must be something else, otherwise there wouldn't be an egg at all.
And that very thing is the ancestor of all paths, the source of all things. Think about it—where do gods come from? It can't possibly have jumped out of a stone, right? Ahem, I mean those two guys, who undoubtedly offended the Dionysus. Long
Chen said this as he got off the road, hurriedly apologizing to the High Priest. After all, Long Chen's words were an offense to the High Priest, the most devout believer of the God of Wine.
The High Priest chuckled, signaling that it was fine, and let Long Chen continue. Only then did Long Chen continue:
"All things have an end and an end; all paths must have their source. Before a god is born, everything should return to chaos. Only after the Heavenly Dao evolves and all things are born can wisdom be born and creation arise."
Although I don't know the true origin of alchemy, I guess it's absolutely impossible for someone to be born knowing how to refine pills, or someone to know how to forge artifacts from birth.
The earliest form of alchemy was likely cooking, with both fire and pot; the fire and pot were hot, and food was steamed until cooked.
Then it began to be subdivided, fire started to be categorized, and pots evolved into countless styles. Ding, stove, cauldron, and other utensils were originally used for cooking.
Although I don't know how the alchemical path originated, it definitely wasn't created by the two of them themselves. "
Why so sure?" The High Priest asked.
Long Chen said confidently, "First, any true powerhouse who comprehends myriad Daos and creates the Dao of Alchemy is absolutely a person of great wisdom."
Anyone with great wisdom knows reverence and gratitude, knowing that they have developed the way of alchemy from the shoulders of countless predecessors. Even if they admit to being the ancestor of alchemy, they would never speak falsely—without themselves, there would be no way to alchemy.
Because even without him, someone in the future would be inspired and create the way of alchemy—it was only a matter of time.
So Da Brahma and Luo Tianye claim to be the ancestors of alchemy, saying that without them, there would be no alchemy. Such boasting is definitely not something a wise person would say. "
That makes some sense. What about the second?" The High Priest laughed.
"Second, that's even more obvious. These two guys—one controlling fire, the other forging furnaces—what does this have to do with alchemy?"
It's like one person can chop wood and tend fires, the other can forge iron and pots, and then two people meet, feeling like they've met sooner, instantly developing delicious recipes, and becoming legendary chefs?
Only those idiots from Dan Valley would believe that. Anyway, I absolutely won't believe it—these two are definitely liars. Long Chen said with absolute certainty.
At first, the High Priest was smiling and thought it was just a joke, but after hearing the second point, he was finally moved.
Because he was a believer in God, he had never doubted God, and he had to believe everything about Dionysus.
But after analyzing Great Brahma Heaven and Luotian Ye, Long Chen did see, as Long Chen said, that there was indeed a suspicion of deception.
Because the Dionysus's divine tome records that he tasted hundreds of grains, crossed mountains, and visited myriad waters, seeking the way of nature. By chance, he was inspired by a farming family and began experimenting with brewing.
Yet the Wine God never claimed to be the ancestor of the Way of Wine, nor did he claim the Way of the Gods, supported by Heaven, and only when opportunities gather can one truly begin.
This means that the reason he became the Wine God was largely due to the will of heaven, attributed to luck, and that those who inspired him were called teachers, just as Long Chen said, filled with reverence and gratitude toward the world.
The disciples of the Wine God Palace also strictly follow the divine teachings. Although most of them may seem somewhat rigid, even somewhat rebellious and unrestrained, deep down they are filled with reverence and gratitude toward the world.
"I don't know why, but the first time I saw the statues of Great Brahma and Luo Tianye, I was especially disgusted by those two guys. I even peed on their heads." Long Chen said.
The High Priest was stunned; he hadn't expected Long Chen to dare to commit such a desecrating act.
"But whether you're right or not, the divine power of Great Brahma and Luo Tianye is incredibly terrifying.
Perhaps in the entire Tianwu Continent, only Dan Valley has the ability to pass through the Wall of Sighs and absorb divine power to bless itself—that is truly terrifying. The High Priest said in a deep voice.
The High Priest's implication was that the God of Wine cannot descend his power onto the Tianwu Continent, but Dan Valley can. This already shows that even gods have their own differences.
"I understand, disciple will be careful." Long Chen nodded.
"In the Divine Inheritance of the Tianwu Continent, although the Killing God's legacy still exists, it has basically been suppressed by you to the point where it dares not appear.
And the Evil God's legacy has now completely vanished. The High Priest said.
"What?" Long Chen was taken aback.
The High Priest said, "Ye Ming has sided with the Undying Clan, sacrificing the entire evil path to the Undead. This is nothing short of a conspiracy, a trap set by the Undead."
In Ye Ming's previous life, he had already begun to set things up. Ye Ming's Eye of the Undead was the seed. In this life, he had stolen the entire Evil God inheritance, and the Evil God lineage was destroyed. "
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. The Undying Clan was ruthless, wiping out even the Evil God's inheritance in one go. No wonder, ever since the City of Wrongful Deaths opened, it seemed like no evil disciples had been seen again. Turns out they had all been sacrificed. This method was terrifying, just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle.
"As for the Eastern Wilderness Bell, I can't give you any guidance. I'm afraid you'll have to solve all of this yourself.
But you don't need to worry. Everything is predestined. The Eastern Wilderness Bell is the foremost of the five supreme divine artifacts, connected to the lifeblood of the Tianwu Continent, so it should appear. The High Priest comforted her.
"Ding ding" Suddenly,
a jade token at his waist made a faint sound. Startled, Long Chen glanced at the token, hurriedly bid farewell to the High Priest, and hurried to Miaole Immortal Palace, because Ziyan had sent him a message and needed his help.
