Chapter 1625: Talking About Qualification
Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh_
Back in the prehistorical era, before the humankind rose in the form of large clans and families, people would kneel on the ground and put their foreheads and palms on the earth, without the courage to say one word even when they saw the lowest divine being descending from the heaven, with an extreme admiration.
In Emperor Fuxi's era, people walked out of the tree holes and caves and gradually built villages and large clans which lived close to each other. But, once divine gods showed up in the mortal worlds, all clan leaders, even the emperor himself, would show their respect. No human being dared to go against the heaven at that time.
In the age of Emperor Xuanyuan, things started to change. Emperor Xuanyuan was a fierce, brave, and an incredibly powerful being. Led by him, the humankind grew stronger rapidly, while the heaven gradually fell. At last, Emperor Xuanyuan became the central divine emperor, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
Later on, the prestige possessed by divine gods was abased year after year, generation by generation. By the time of Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, only a few divine descendants remained living in the heaven. They built palaces and mansions for human beings, using their labor to exchange for meat and wine. By the time, people no longer stood in awe and reverence of the heaven. Some younger human beings had even forgotten about the ancient glory of the heaven.
Ji Xia led his divine army descended from the heaven, composing an enormous battle formation. Numerous Gold Crow warriors hovered in the sky while cawing thunderously, forming a pure sun sword formation that covered the entire city with a strong aura of killing.
High up in the sky, a divine gate was faintly visible, and inside the gate was a magnificent tower. The tower emitted sharp beams of light, penetrating the space and merging with the entire world. A horrifying pressure descended, suffocating all people in the city.
It had been countless years, but once again, the divine heaven and earth great formation, which was used for balancing the whole world, showed up in the mortal world. The tremendous pressure landed on everyone's shoulders, such that some weak ordinary human beings began trembling slightly, and were almost kneeling on the ground.
A resonant bell ring echoed through the sky. A gigantic, hazy bell emerged above Pu Ban City and rang sonorously. The sound wave transformed into waves of golden-purple glowing mist and spread out to all directions, neutralizing eighty percent of the pressure created by Ji Xia's divine army.
Hundreds of Magi Palace Magi rose into the sky. Wulong Yao, Fang Feng E, Candle Dragon Gui, and the other Magi Palace elders released their scary powers. Dark mists coiled behind their bodies, and within the mist, the hazy silhouettes of enormous creatures could be seen, merging with the bodies of their owners and making look like towering mountains.
”Ji Xia, this is where we human beings perform offering ceremonies, where we pray to nature. Go away!” Behind Candle Dragon Gui's body, a tremendous candle dragon closed its eyes. Every breath it took would start a strong gale around him. The gale swirled and left thin, dark cracks in the air, seeming even to tear apart the space.
”I am a human being too!” Ji Xia leaped down from the back of a Gold Crow and trod on a fiery cloud as he descended swiftly from the sky, soon coming up to Candle Dragon Gui. From less than ten meters away, Ji Xia looked directly at Candle Dragon Gui's lusterless eyes and said, ”I, am a human being too. It's just that I happen to hold a divine power too.”
”Holding your divine power, you shouldn't interfere a human world affair.” Wulong Yao shouted harshly, ”Go away, or do you want to start a war against us with your formidable divine army?”
”The heaven belongs to all living beings in this world. I, as the God of War, am supposed to supervise the entire world and suppress all evils. Facing anyone who intends to do harm to this world, I shall stop him with all my power.” Ji Xia said without hesitating, ”Human beings are a part of the world, and should be under my supervision.”
”The heaven takes no part in human affairs.” Fang Feng E laughed with a high-pitched voice, ”It has been so many years, the heaven takes no part!”
”If the heaven takes no part in human affairs, why do you pray to nature? Why do you pray to heaven?” Ji Xia laughed as he spread his arms and growled to the numerous human beings in the surroundings. ”If human beings do not want to be under the supervision of the heaven, why did you perform an offering ceremony?”
People were confused. Ji Xia sounded reasonable.
