Above the sea of clouds, a conveyance light flashed past. Mengqi was checking the Afflatus King's savings while thinking about the two questions just now.
Asking about the time when the Heavenly Court fell was the main purpose of this trip. He wanted to go back in time and witness the process of the collapse of the heavens. He wanted to find the trail of the Sea Calming Pearl and determine the approximate range to find them in the future. On the other hand, asking when the Demonic Lord went to the Heavenly Court was a flash of inspiration.
He still remembered when he first entered the Journey to the West, he once asked a Little Goblin. It confused the Demonic Lord's attack on the Heavenly Court and the fall of the Heavenly Court. It even felt that the former was the direct cause of the latter. This was obviously contradictory to his understanding of the ancient timeline.
After the indirect or direct verification of the Devil Buddha, Sha Wujing, and other ancient participants, he believed that there was the Battle of Deification first. The Heavenly Court benefited from it and formed a firm alliance with the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and the Heavenly Lord Dao De who were hiding behind the scenes. Thus, they completely suppressed the forces of Buddhism, demons, and other forces, and reached the most prosperous stage. However, there was nothing eternal in the world. The peak often meant the beginning of a decline. As the Celestial Ruler's cultivation improved, he might not be satisfied with being the person in front of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and the Heavenly Lord Dao De. He might not be satisfied with being the person in front of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and the Heavenly Lord Dao De.
At this delicate juncture, the Demonic Lord suddenly achieved the Nirvana Realm and attacked the Heavenly Court. He severely injured the Celestial Ruler at the cost of his own death and exposed the conflict between the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and Lord Dao De. Thus, the situation changed. The Buddhists began to make arrangements and the Taoists responded accordingly. The Celestial Ruler walked on the edge of the cliff, trying to make use of the situation to achieve a balance. In such a strange situation, a Sun Wukong jumped out of the Primordial Heavenly Stone of the Demon Queen Nuwa. There were many subsequent events, such as the continuation of the battle of the underworld, the havoc in the heavenly palace, and forcing the Celestial Ruler to give in. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Ruler turned to the Gautama Buddha.
After that, the Gautama Buddha who had obtained great benefits finally reached the realm of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. He began to try to reduce the void and arrange the Journey to the West. Not long after the Journey to the West ended, the Heavenly Court suddenly fell for some unknown reason. It was suspected that a few Nirvana Realm individuals joined forces and broke the Nine Levels of Heaven. The Celestial Ruler sacrificed himself and turned into the Time Blade. During this process, no one knew if his allies were suppressed or did not make a move.
After the fall of the Heavenly Court, the Gautama Buddha perished, the Demonic Sage Sage attacked the Spirited Mountain.
The Apotheosized World, the Demonic Lord's attack on Heaven, the Pilgrimage to the West, the fall of the Heavenly Court, and the Battle of Spirited Mountain. This was the timeline of the ancient events that he had sorted out. However, for the small demons of this world, since there was the Great Sage Equalling Heaven's Pilgrimage to the West in between, it was impossible for them to confuse it and think that the Demonic Lord's attack on Heaven caused the fall of the Heavenly Court.
Since his memory did not match up with the timeline, there must be something fishy going on. Thus, Meng Qi asked about the time when the Demonic Lord went to the Celestial Court, and the Afflatus King's answer made him feel that it was as he had expected.
In this world, the Demon Master's attack on the Heavens happened less than six years before the fall of the Heavenly Court!
With such a short interval, it was completely reasonable for the little demon to think that they were the same thing after a few hundred years. However, the Journey to the West happened more than eight hundred years ago, long before the Devil Lord attacked the Heavens. This contradicted the timeline that Meng Qi believed in.
Mengqi did not hesitate. Hundreds of years later, the Devil Buddha and Sha Wujing thought it was the same thing. But the Journey to the West was more than 800 years ago. It was before the King King, so it contradicted the timeline.
Originally, Meng Qi would not have hesitated to stick to his previous arrangement because it was affirmed by the Devil Buddha and Sha Wujing, the two people who were directly involved. The world of the Journey to the West was derived from a section of history drawn out by Lord Dao De. He did not know how many specious things or historical fragments were filled in, so it was completely understandable that the order would be messed up. Not to mention that some people suspected that Lord Dao De had drawn out this section of history to develop the New Real World to cover up some secret.
However, there were some details that made him not so sure.
As for his own speculation, the Devil Buddha only admitted that he had colluded with the Devil Lord, betrayed the Celestial Ruler, and caused the chaos in the Spirited Mountain, tricking the Buddhists and the Demon Race. He was noncommittal about other things, and only mentioned that the Celestial Ruler was unable to take down the Great Sage Equalling Heaven after being severely injured by the Devil Lord.
This seemed to point to the havoc in the Heavenly Court. But there were too many explanations. Who could be sure that Sun Wukong did not fight with the Celestial Ruler for the second time after the Journey to the West?
For example, the battle of the fall of the Heavenly Court!
Even if the Celestial Ruler did not fight in the havoc in the Heavenly Court.
After all, at that time, the monkey's strength was not as good as after the Journey to the West. It was still a long way from the Creation Realm. Even if the Celestial Ruler was hurt by the Devil Lord, he was in the Celestial Realm. Only those from the Nirvana Realm could compete with him, so there was no need to be afraid. The Devil Buddha only said that he could not defeat the monkey. So the Celestial Ruler was worried about the mastermind who drove the monkey to havoc in the Heavenly Court. He asked Gautama Buddha for help. Under such circumstances, it was questionable whether he would lower himself to fight with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
What about the battle when the Heavenly Court fell? The Great Sage Equal to Heaven used the Victorious Fighting Buddha and reached the Creation Realm. He might even have the characteristics of the Nirvana Realm. At the same time, there were other people from the Nirvana Realm who held the Celestial Ruler back. It was normal that he was almost taken down by the Celestial Ruler.
Therefore, the Devil Buddha's remarks could not be used as the exact evidence of the Journey to the West after the Devil Lord attacked Heaven. Sha Wujing, on the other hand, clearly and accurately described the sequence. As a mighty person of the Legendary Realm, his memory would not be blurred because of the extraction of history. He was trustworthy at first glance.
However, thinking about it carefully, whether it was the Journey to the West, the Devil Lord attacked Heaven, or even the Lord Dao De extracted this history, Sha Wujing most likely had not achieved the Legendary Realm. The Legendary Realm itself did not involve the River of Time. Without the characteristics of the Nirvana Realm, when he successfully broke through, would he be able to recover his chaotic and blurred memory?
More importantly, Sha Wujing was the Death Mother's Curtain Lifting Oracle. He could not be fully trusted. Even if he did not want to deceive himself, he could not stop the Death Mother from secretly tampering with his memory.
The two most crucial pieces of evidence were not rigorous enough. Some of the details were more meaningful. For example, the Little Goblin mentioned that after the Devil Lord attacked Heaven, the Saint of Nine Spirits was sent to guard the Gate of Nine Serenities. He was still guarding there. If the Devil Lord attacked Heaven before the Journey to the West, when Tang Monk and Sun Wukong encountered the Saint of Nine Spirits, he was obviously guarding the Gate of Nine Serenities. How could he escape so easily?
For example, before the Devil Lord attacked Heaven, the Great Emperor Zhenwu disappeared mysteriously and went to the origin of life and death. Who was the Ninth Heaven Demon-Destroying Grandmaster that Sun Wukong looked for when he asked for reinforcements?
Although these were all the contents of the Journey to the West that he had read, it was very likely that there were some embellishments. For example, there was no difficulty of the Saint of Nine Spirits during the Journey to the West, and no Ninth Heaven Demon-Destroying Grandmaster was invited. However, there were some similar details that could be verified by the mighty people in the future. This made him not so sure.
What if the Journey to the West happened before the Devil Lord attacked Heaven?
Mengqi fell into deep thought and deduced another possibility.
After the sweet period of the alliance, the Celestial Ruler, whose cultivation was improving day by day, had the ambition to become the real ruler of the world. Buddhism also did not want to see Taoism ruling the heavens and the Myriad World. Therefore, small conflicts began to increase, such as the battle of the Nether World. Under such circumstances, Sun Wukong jumped out of the Primordial Stone and became a chess piece in every game and struggle.
When he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he might have gotten the help of Lord Dao De. The celestials related to Taoism collectively let him win, so it seemed that the Celestial Ruler could only take action himself. Once he took action, Sun Wukong's mysterious master might take this opportunity to make things difficult for the Celestial Ruler and achieve a certain goal. The Celestial Ruler saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately invited the Buddha of the West. Perhaps he completely turned to Buddhism, or maybe he just exposed the collusion with the Buddha to seek a new balance.
After the Journey to the West, it was unknown how many years of brewing, so the incident of the Devil Lord attacking Heaven happened. This time, the Celestial Ruler showed a frightening strength. Without the help of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, Lord Dao De, and Buddha, he killed a Nirvana Realm person alone?
Only a Nirvana Realm person could compete with a Nirvana Realm person. It was difficult for a Nirvana Realm person to kill each other, and they could only seal or suppress each other. Even if the Celestial Ruler paid a great price, even if he had the home advantage of the Celestial Realm, even if the Devil Lord had just reached the Nirvana Realm, it was enough to show the strength of the Celestial Ruler if he did not have the help of other ancients to kill a Nirvana Realm person alone. It was enough to show the strength of the Celestial Ruler. He was probably comparable to Emperor Hao Tian in the ancient era, and he really had the prestige to suppress the world.
And why did the Devil Lord attack the Heavenly Court? Perhaps someone wanted to test something. For example, why did the Celestial Ruler have the confidence to fight with the two Heavenly Lords, and in the end, he found out the strength of the Celestial Emperor and his reliance to kill a Nirvana Realm person?
After figuring out these secrets, or after confirming that these secrets were directly related to the fruit of Dao, a few Nirvana Realm people joined forces to break through the Nine Levels of Heaven, and let the Celestial Ruler die for a just cause. Perhaps the Gautama Buddha was also among them?
Although there was a lack of key details to link the matter together, it seemed that one could really see the other side of the matter and find other explanations after deducing it this way … Mengqi took a light breath. He increasingly felt that the events of the ancient times were unpredictable. Just thinking about it made his scalp numb. After two historical abstractions, it was even more chaotic and contradictory, and it was difficult to determine who was real and who was fake.
To him, if he wanted to go back in time in the future and advance further, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid these matters.
Unknowingly, he had already escaped to Donghai, and the treasures in the Crystal Palace of the Afflatus King had long forgotten to check.
As the conveyance light descended, Mengqi found the patrolling marine tribe, asked about the location of the Crystal Palace, and directly sneaked over.
Outside the Crystal Palace, two giant sea crabs were crawling, guarding the door. Mengqi smiled slightly, walked over, and cupped his hands,
"I Su Meng, requesting to see the Dragon King."
"This is a greeting gift."
He threw his hands, and two giant golden hammers flew out, landing in front of the Crystal Palace.
Bang!
The ground shook, and the Crystal Palace shook violently. The surrounding Restrictive Spell lit up and dimmed, and lit up again.
"Enemy attack!" a scream sounded, and an old surprised voice came from the Dragon Palace, "Purple Light Golden Palace Hammer? The Divine Weapon of the Afflatus King? "
And the Divine Weapon of the Afflatus King was actually so broken, and it fell into the hands of a mysterious Taoist!
As the thought flashed, the Dragon King of Donghai suddenly got up, ran out of the Crystal Palace, and greeted him!
Even the Afflatus King was lost, such a person must be treated with respect!
