The Way of the Prehistoric World

Chapter 13 The Origin of the Universe

After a while of silence, Mei Zihan accidentally remembered the big bang theory of the formation of the universe in his previous life, so he asked Pangu with great interest: "Has Taoist Brother Pangu ever seen a starry sky world? Were they formed by the big bang?"

Mei Zihan's attention to the starry sky world made Pangu feel a little baffled, but he still answered seriously: "I have seen many, many starry sky worlds. I don't know how many I created myself, and most of them are from Zhongqian." Below the world, there are very few at the Great World level, and even less at the Great World level.”

"The 'big bang' you mentioned seems to make some sense, but it should be more accurate to say that the energy is highly concentrated at a certain point in the chaos, and then suddenly released. During the release of energy, the energy of chaos will be strongly stirred, causing it to evolve. It is a lot of innate essence, and then transformed into acquired things.”

Pangu was somewhat interested in the "Big Bang" theory mentioned by Mei Zihan. This was the first time he heard someone describe the origin of the starry sky world in this way.

"However, the starry sky world seems to be very broad, but the origin of the world in it is pitifully small. The total amount of matter in the world is also very small, and the potential is very limited. There is almost no possibility of transcendence for the creatures in the world. Therefore, almost all Chaos Demon Gods have I won’t go out of my way to open up a starry sky type world.”

Without the creation by the Chaos Demon God, how did the universe come into being in the previous life? Since the legend of Pangu opening the sky has been circulating, it must have been Pangu who opened the sky. Why would Pangu deny it?

Seeing Mei Zihan's confused look, Pangu explained in detail: "The starry sky world does not have its own world barrier to block the energy of chaos. Wherever the 'Big Bang' wave passes, matter will be formed there, so the distribution of matter is extremely wide. The density of spiritual energy is extremely low, resulting in a very low level of cultivation in the world. Usually the lifespan of such a world is very short. When the 'big bang' wave finally runs out of energy, the external chaos of the world will invade, and the starry sky world will also Then it will be destroyed.”

"On the contrary, the lifespan of a land-based world is much longer, and the origin of the world is also extremely rich."

Pangu suddenly seemed to become very interested, taking the nascent world in front of him as an example: "For example, although the nascent world in front of us only covers a radius of about one billion light-years, it has existed for countless countless kalpas. Among them, the amount of chaotic energy it has absorbed is simply immeasurable. From the current point of view, it is far from being developed. In the future, we still don’t know how many countless kalpas it will take to fully evolve, during which it will absorb countless more. The energy of chaos is definitely not comparable to that of a starry sky world."

"For countless kalpas, the newborn world absorbs the energy of infinite chaos. The origin of its birth allows it to build a complete world barrier to resist chaos. It contains rich innate essence and dense innate aura, which are all starry sky type. The world can’t have it.”

Chaos energy is thin in chaos, and it is indeed difficult to gather enough chaos energy in the starry sky world opened up by the "Big Bang" method. Although it affects a wide range, the source it obtains is very pitiful.

As if remembering something interesting, Pangu suddenly smiled mysteriously at Mei Zihan, and then flew away quickly into the distance. Soon he was hundreds of billions of light years away, and after stopping there for a while, he quickly returned.

Just when Mei Zihan felt confused, a violent explosion suddenly occurred where Pangu had stopped briefly.

The violent explosion instantly spread to hundreds of millions of light years around it. The chaotic energy within this range immediately began to boil violently. Earth, fire, wind and water evolved one after another, yin and yang creation, and the transformation of the five elements occurred one after another, eventually generating many simple elements.

Mei Zihan unexpectedly found the same two elements of hydrogen and helium as in his previous life, instead of several basic substances and various "qi" in the world inside his own body. The microstructure of the substances in the two worlds was very different.

The reason should be that the starry sky world is too broad, and the matter in the world is extremely thin, which is not enough to form the structure of several basic substances and "gas", and can only be combined with each other in a loose atomic structure.

During Mei Zihan's brief thoughts, the "Big Bang" wave soon spread to billions of light-years in radius, and then spread to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed. The same evolution occurred in sequence from the center to the surrounding areas.

Wherever the "Big Bang" wave passes, the gas of chaos is eventually transformed into space, time, various forces, hydrogen, helium, etc.

Pangu returned with some interest and said: "How is it? This is just a starry sky world at the level of the Small Thousand Worlds. You can do it with all your strength, so I said before that I don't even know how many starry sky worlds I have opened up. "

"With my current cultivation level, I can probably form a starry sky-type world on the level of a thousand worlds with one full blow. I don't know how many similar worlds still exist in places where battles took place before."

Those remaining starry sky worlds were obviously not within Pangu's consideration. In his opinion, they were just masterpieces.

Witnessing the whole process, Mei Zihan was obviously a little sad, and couldn't help but think of the universe in his previous life: "Is this how the universe in the previous life came into being? Is it just a random act by Pangu?"

"The universe that once made me feel infinitely vast and powerful may be fundamentally just someone else's game, or it may be a casual blow that may have been completely forgotten afterwards. Maybe the emergence of human beings is just someone else's game. .”

Although Mei Zihan had speculated before that the universe in his previous life was probably only a small world level and was not worth mentioning in the vast chaos, but now facing such a cruel reality, he still couldn't accept it and almost lost his mind.

"How long will it take if fellow Taoist doesn't wake up right now!"

Just when Mei Zihan was losing his mind, Pangu's loud shout came to his ears, causing him to wake up instantly.

After waking up, all the previous frustrations seemed to suddenly make sense: no matter how we were born, no matter how humble we are in the eyes of others, as long as we strive to live for ourselves, there is no need to pay attention to other people's games. After all, it is only theirs. It’s just a game, let them play it!

After experiencing the changes here, Mei Zihan's mental cultivation has obviously taken a step forward. At this moment, he has completely put aside the influence of his previous life and embarked on his own new path.

Seeing Pangu's concerned eyes, Mei Zihan said apologetically: "It's my fault that Brother Ti was worried. Fortunately, Brother Dao woke him up in time, otherwise I would definitely be mentally disturbed."

"I never thought that a temporary game would make fellow Taoist people almost lose their minds, but it was Pangu who didn't think carefully before."

Pangu was very confused in his heart, why did a small starry sky-shaped world make Mei Zihan lose her mind? Of course, he would not have thought that Mei Zihan came from a starry sky world, or a world that was probably opened by Pangu.

"What's the matter with Taoist brother Pangu? It's just that after Taoist brother opened up the world, he thought that all the sentient beings in the world were still confused in the unknown, and he didn't realize that his existence might just be someone else's game."

Then Mei Zihan let out a long sigh and said: "By analogy, maybe we and the Chaos Demon God are just a joke in the eyes of Dao Dao. We and the Chaos Demon God think that we are beyond the world, but we don't know that maybe we are just in a larger world. It's just being kept in captivity, and from there, the poor Taoist will sigh and fall into deep thought, which makes Brother Taoist laugh."

"What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true. We, the Chaos Demon God, are diligently pursuing the Great Way, but what is the Great Way?"

After hearing Mei Zihan's inference, Pangu looked more cautious than ever before.

He also asked hard: "For countless countless kalpas, no one has ever known what the Great Dao is. As cultivators, all we want is transcendence. Before transcendence, we just want to survive. Maybe we can only reach half-step of the Dao." , have the qualifications to seek transcendence, but now it is useless.”

Pangu's final helplessness made Mei Zihan couldn't help but think of a sentence in Lu Xun's article in his previous life: "There are only two eras in China, one is the dynasty where slaves are temporarily stable, and the other is the dynasty where slaves are not allowed to be slaves."

Perhaps in the eyes of Dao Dao, the Chaos Demon God is not even as good as a slave. At least now, Mei Zihan feels that she "asks to be a slave but cannot get it", and the immeasurable calamity is the reason why she "cannot". Maybe those half-step Dao Dao level existences can be regarded as "Take it easy slave for now".

While the two were meditating, the world that Pangu opened up with a game mentality evolved further.

The scattered elements hydrogen and helium continue to gather under the attraction of gravity, and eventually form countless huge stars. Although these are only the first generation stars, most of which have very short lifespans, their production has created the basis for the birth of planets and even life in the future. the basic conditions.

When the first-generation stars were born, a dark-yellow beam of light flew out from an unknown space in the chaos, and appeared in front of Pangu in the blink of an eye, interrupting their contemplation.

Seeing the dark-yellow beam of light in front of Pangu, Mei Zihan looked extremely excited.

That is the great merit, that is, the innate merit, the innate merit that can make people's merits become holy, and what is achieved is the innate saint, which is much stronger than the acquired saint.

Pangu once again expressed his incomprehension for Mei Zihan's excitement. After being stunned for a moment, he sent his innate merits to Mei Zihan with a wave of his hand, as casually as discarding a grain of dust or a piece of garbage.

"Thank you Taoist Brother Pangu!"

Mei Zihan immediately took over the innate merits, and her joy was beyond words.

Pangu, on the other hand, was confused by Mei Zihan and said speechlessly: "Five elements of Taoism, isn't it just an innate virtue? Taoist friends can easily obtain it themselves, so why should they be so cautious?"

Pangu's comment made Mei Zihan blush.

In the blink of an eye, he understood: Yes, isn't it just an innate merit? Is it necessary to be so excited? It is still the little person in the previous life who is at work. When he opens up the world in his body, the merits he will gain will definitely be countless times more than this. There is no need to get excited at all.

The reason why Mei Zihan was so excited before was because it was the first time for him to see innate merits. Thinking about how magical the merits in the legends of his previous life were, how could he not be excited now that he saw them, let alone the great merits.

It's not like he hasn't gained merit since he traveled through time. When the inner world was first formed, theoretically there should have been merit, but because the number was so small, it couldn't be noticed at all, and he wasn't present at the time.

Later, during the evolution of the world inside the body, the merits came slowly, and then they were integrated into the world. This is why he has never seen innate merits.

After thinking about it, he was very embarrassed and said: "Brother Pangu, this is the first time since I was born that I have seen innate merits with my own eyes, so I just lost my temper and made Brother Tao laugh."

"Fellow Taoist is really kind. Some merits are really worthless to you and me, so I can only let fellow Taoist study it, in case you don't know about the merits next time, and it will be bad if you miss the treasure mountain."

Pangu laughed boldly.

Mei Zihan didn't feel any resentment at being teased by Pangu. It was true that he was too petty and his innate merits were useless to both Pangu and himself, and had no use at all.

If you want to underestimate it because of this, you are absolutely wrong. This innate merit is completely enough for a mortal to break through the Great Luo Jinxian without any risk.

At the same time as a breakthrough is made, the innate merits will also greatly improve one's qualifications for cultivating immortals, increase one's luck, and make one's luck profound.

If you possess the innate spiritual treasure that suppresses luck, you may become the legendary Golden Immortal of Good Fortune, similar to the Yun Neutron in the prehistoric times.

Faced with the innate merit that could enable a mortal to become a meritorious golden immortal, Mei Zihan was not greedy at all. After weighing the pros and cons, he backhandedly pushed it into the world created by Pangu.

This innate merit soon disappeared under the influence of Mei Zihan's residual thoughts.

"It's a good idea and a good decision!"

Mei Zihan's way of handling it was definitely beyond Pangu's expectations, but he soon had to admire it.

"I just thought that since I took it from the other side, then let's use it from the other side."

Mei Zihan revealed all his plans: "If life is born in that world, the innate merits will be integrated into the planet where life was born, and perhaps an environment suitable for cultivation can be formed, allowing the creatures there to have a chance to transcend. You won’t remain ignorant forever.”

"That's why I said friendly decision. If the creatures in that world know about your friend's behavior, they will definitely be grateful. But then again, what are your plans next?"

Pangu had already learned of Mei Zihan's plan before he explained it.

When it comes to his next plan, Mei Zihan has already made up his mind: "I plan to first find a suitable place for enlightenment along the edge of the nascent world, and then re-cultivate the inheritance path to make up for the shortcomings and prepare for the breakthrough to the Heavenly Dao stage."

Pangu nodded in agreement: "Since fellow Taoist has made a decision, Pangu will not keep any more of you, I hope you will take care of yourself!"

"Please take care of yourself!"

With that said, Mei Zihan flew away into the distance and disappeared in an instant.
