Under the Huai River.

Ji Zheng lay in the mud. He probably guessed that the so-called Central Plains War definitely had gods involved.

Even Chi You was probably revived with the help of gods.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult for Chi You's descendants to revive him on their own.

The later breaking of Buzhou Mountain must also be related to the gods.

Why does this feel a bit like the Battle of Zhuolu?

Ji Zheng recalled the myths about the 'Battle of Zhuolu'.

The protagonists of both sides seemed to be the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and Chi You, but most of their forces seemed to be gods.

"The power of gods, whether in the past or now, seems to far exceed that of humans."

Ji Zheng pondered.

Especially that Heavenly Emperor.

If he guessed correctly, that Heavenly Emperor must also possess all five elements and be in harmony with heaven and man, and perhaps even more.

It seems truly difficult for the Five Emperors of humanity to compare with the Heavenly Emperor.

But that Heavenly Emperor doesn't seem to want to deal with humans, but rather other gods have always wanted to deal with humans.

"Forget it, this complex relationship is useless to think about so much."

Ji Zheng could only imagine this Central Plains War as the former Battle of Zhuolu.

After suppressing many thoughts, he continued to look at the simulation.

The simulation continued.

[Day 101: You and the old Taoist continue to move forward. The blood-red mist in the sky has not dissipated.

When passing by a village, you see that this village is also preparing to sacrifice to Chi You, but the village has not yet started the sacrifice.

The old Taoist stops with you on a hillside outside the village, seemingly wanting to wait for the sacrifice to begin and watch.

You do not disobey the old Taoist's wishes and accompany him to watch. You discover that this village is very ancient.

It seems to have no connection with modern times. You can't help but feel surprised. You know that even after the revival of spiritual energy and the reconnection of heaven and earth, human technology has become ineffective, but some basics still exist.

This village has no connection with modern times at all, which makes you feel incredible.]

[Day 102: The village's sacrifice begins, but the method of sacrifice makes you feel incredible, because in front of Chi You's portrait, you see a series of human skins.

This sacrifice actually uses human skin as a sacrifice. Seeing this, the old Taoist calmly tells you that these human skins were freshly flayed, which is no different from a live sacrifice...]

Live sacrifice…

Is that the meaning of sacrificing living people?

A cold light flickered in Ji Zheng's dragon eyes.

To be honest, he quite hates this live human sacrifice.

Live human sacrifice was common in ancient times. Many ancient civilizations have records of it.

Famous examples include the Shang Dynasty, the Mayan civilization, etc., all of which used live humans for sacrifice.

These civilizations seemed to think that live human sacrifice could please the gods.

So these civilizations have always revered live human sacrifice.

Moreover, the methods of live human sacrifice were also varied.

Some people were tied up and burned alive, while others had their hearts forcibly removed before the altar.

There are countless methods.

The kind in the simulation, where human skin is flayed alive before the sacrifice, is just one of them.

But without a doubt, each one is very cruel.

Anyway, Ji Zheng quite hates this ritual.

Those so-called gods are just gods.

He can now be considered a god, because he can also be considered a god.

But he doesn't think that this method can please him.

"Ultimately, it is those fanatical believers who believe that this can please the gods."

Ji Zheng came to this conclusion.

Then he continued to look at the simulation.

[You and the old Taoist watch the beginning of the sacrifice. In your sight, after the sacrifice begins, a wisp of black gas floats out from each human skin and enters Chi You's portrait.

You don't understand what that black gas is, but seeing that the old Taoist doesn't seem to want to speak, you don't ask.]

[Day 103: The sacrifice ends, and you and the old Taoist leave and continue on your way. At this time, the old Taoist speaks, stating that those black gases are the key to Chi You's revival. Each wisp of black gas is the life of a human being.

You ask in confusion, does Chi You's revival require the lives of many people?

The old Taoist shakes his head, stating that Chi You's revival requires life, not just humans. Chi You lives, and millions die.

You are shocked. The old Taoist looks at you and asks you again, does Chi You think he can win? You shake your head, thinking that Chi You cannot win.

The old Taoist smiles and asks you, is it because Chi You didn't win in the past that you think Chi You can't win? You shake your head, answering the old Taoist that all things contain life. Chi You's revival requires a large amount of life, violating the way of all things, and therefore he will inevitably fail.

The old Taoist is very satisfied with your answer and can't help but smile, stating that you, little dragon, have quite the wisdom.

Immediately, the old Taoist no longer lingers and continues south.]

[Day 104: The blood-red gas in the sky gradually dissipates. The old Taoist looks at the sky, and you follow him to look. You know that Chi You has been revived.

The old Taoist teaches you that any existence that goes against the way of all things, against the natural order of heaven and earth, will inevitably fail, and tells you to take this as a warning. You nod and say nothing...]

The way of all things, the natural order of heaven and earth…

Ji Zheng looked at these two words mentioned in the simulation, deeply agreeing.

He has personally come into contact with these two words.

In the previous simulation, in the Huai River, the old tortoise personally demonstrated to him what 'the hearts of the people' meant.

This so-called way of heaven and earth is actually similar to the hearts of the people.

There have always been many sayings that prove that winning the hearts of the people can lead to victory, such as 'Those who win the hearts of the people win the world', 'Those who are virtuous receive much help, while those who are not receive little help', and so on.

The derivation of all things is undoubtedly the most critical link in the natural order of heaven and earth.

Following nature and obtaining the help of the natural order of heaven and earth is the kingly way.

The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and Chi You in the Battle of Zhuolu are very classic examples.

Ji Zheng suddenly understood.

And in the Central Plains War in the simulation, without a doubt, Chi You will definitely fail in the end.

This is not only because he saw it himself, so he feels this way, but more because of the old Taoist. Since he has spoken those golden words, Chi You will definitely fail.

Moreover, the most important thing in this Central Plains War is not whether Chi You will fail or not, but what kind of actions the gods will take…
