Prologue
A portion of the deities in the Zhou Dynasty have consistently been unable to acknowledge the established rules, nor do they recognize the power of rites and music. However, after the failure of the three leaders, they could not resist the overwhelming force of the heavenly court. Consequently, some began to turn their gaze towards the long river of history, seeking allies for the future
Commerce has conquered the most inhospitable lands, transforming the Mythical Era of Xuan Commerce into a paradise, becoming the first line of defense for humanity
***
The legends formed by the crises that have been extracted from the destruction of the world continuously generate backlash. The butterfly effect of the myths and legendary worlds' backlash on the main world is becoming increasingly significant, leading to unimaginable disasters, causing many people to disappear for no reason, resulting in countless accidental deaths, and giving rise to almost incurable diseases, as well as pandemics sweeping across the globe. It could even lead to the collapse of time and space in the main world. If this situation continues, it will result in irreversible destruction for humanity.
With the spread of these beliefs, humanity has regained the power of immortality; however, the wise among humanity are unable to resolve the fundamental issues, and thus humanity can only achieve immortality in a spiritual state, unable to preserve the physical body in an immortal state
After the creation of the underworld by Qian, humanity finally embarked on a different path, no longer delving into the secrets of the flesh or the mysteries of the soul, but instead began to establish science, utilizing tools, which led to the birth of countless knowledge
Shang has always focused on the Zhou Earth Mythology Chronicle, hoping to guide the Zhou Earth world back on track, becoming a second paradise, and serving as a barrier for humanity just like the Xuan Shang Mythology Chronicle.
The main world has thus left behind countless legends about the Qin Dynasty, such as the Terracotta Warriors that can conquer the mythical world, the immensely powerful Twelve Bronze Men, and the Epang Palace and Mount Li that can traverse time and space
The underworld accommodates only immortal souls, which, based on their differing beliefs, have established various realms. Some of these immortal realms do not interfere with one another, while others are engaged in eternal warfare.
The Chronicles of Carefree
This technology world, exiled by Qian, is referred to by later generations as the First Mechanical Era. In the main world, humanity occasionally discovers creations from this era and marvels at them.
They quickly sought out the third gene civilization that had been exiled by Qian, and dispatched an envoy named Jiu Luan
In just a few hundred years, humanity has reached the pinnacle of another civilization
He also gathered all the forces of the tribal alliance, slaying giant beasts, excavating river channels, extinguishing raging fires, and improving the living environment... All of this elevated the prestige of the Shang, allowing the tribal alliance to grow from just a few tribes to eventually eight hundred tribes.
Until one day, Shang believed he could change the future of humanity. He persuaded a tribe that had become leaderless due to the fall of its chief, and became the leader of this tribe, leading this small group into a grueling struggle.
Human beings will make countless efforts for the continuation of their race, the transmission of life, as well as for pleasure, for preferences, and even for the purpose of venting and losing control, resulting in destruction and devastation
Thousands of years later, Qian returned once again, only to find that the magnificent human civilization had reached its end. The energy of the spirit particles was nearly omnipotent, allowing humans to navigate the universe through their thoughts, capable of accomplishing anything they desired. Those who could manipulate the energy of the spirit particles possessed powers that could rival those of the deities from the myths of the Zhou Dynasty.
***
In one crisis after another, it finally realized that the tendency towards destruction is also a part of human consciousness. As an inherent aspect of human consciousness itself, it cannot act against its own nature, nor can it erase the destructive emotions of humanity
Upon learning of Qian's predicament, Shang selected a group of the most courageous and wisest tribesmen to enter the main world, igniting a brutal war
Jiu Luan was forced by the saviors and could not fully control the Realm of Freedom, so she found this brief moment in time to launch a counterattack. She enabled a nation called Zeng to acquire technology from the Third Gene Civilization. Zeng was unaware that it was Jiu Luan who facilitated this acquisition; he believed it to be a gift from the Third Gene Civilization. He aimed to defeat all other nations, achieve the great cause of unification, and assist the Third Gene Civilization in returning to the main world.

Zeng was unaware that it was Jiu Luan who facilitated this acquisition; he believed it to be a gift from the Third Gene Civilization. He aimed to defeat all other nations, achieve the great cause of unification, and assist the Third Gene Civilization in returning to the main world
Liu Yan and Wang Mu are from the First Mechanical Civilization. They understand that only by protecting the main world can the First Mechanical Civilization be passed down.
Once again, Qian extracted this period of coexistence among humans, gods, immortals, and demons, sealing away all beings that possessed immense power, transforming it into a third legendary world, which is known as the Zhou Earth Era
Dryness has almost given up on humanity, even choosing not to interfere with humans any longer, allowing them to self-destruct due to their own ambitions, leading to mutual destruction.
The act of severing the flow of time has taken away thirty thousand years of the most arduous moments, leaving no trace in human memory or in the annals of history. The only legend that has been passed down is that of "Pangu creating the heavens and the earth"
***
Qian, through his observations of the imaginary world, finally recognized his mistakes. He decided to reverse time, allowing humanity to return to its origins and restart the development of civilization
Shang led his tribe, his people, continuously fighting for the fate of humanity, constantly entering other mythological and legendary worlds to assist the people there
He sealed away all beings possessing great power and also extracted the power inherited from commerce from humanity. With the loss of these formidable powers, human lifespan became short, and they began to suffer from ailments, injuries, aging, and disabilities.
Dry Sky World
The Chronicles of the Underworld
Endless and almost omnipotent power has extinguished humanity's drive for progress, as they have reached a point of no further advancement. They have even abandoned the most basic needs of life. Humanity no longer requires love, reproduction, learning, or even communication, for in just a moment, they can read through thousands of years of memories of their kind.
After interfering with the technological process three times, Qian felt that he could no longer allow humanity to act freely. Thus, he created a world devoid of any power, without technology, and even without time, banishing all those who harbored delusions of transforming the world to this place
It is also unknown that humanity has faced extinction due to atmospheric pollution eighteen times, due to erroneous genetic mutations in evolution nineteen times, due to wars thirty times, and due to the misuse of technology resulting in viral destruction one hundred eighty times
In order to protect humanity, Qian transformed into a giant measuring tens of thousands of miles in length, wielding a colossal axe, and cleaved through the meteor.
To save oneself and also to save the world, O brave one
The Era of Imagination
The conflict between rules and freedom can never be reconciled
All things possess a spirit, and the spirit illuminates them. The circular and square forms are established, and thus the heavens begin to take shape
After the extraction of the mythological chronicle of the Earth God, Qian also contemplated whether using other forms of life to replace humanity, specifically those without a tendency for self-destruction and possessing perfect virtues, could reduce these crises
The uncontrollable world of Zhou Tu often collides with the main world, affecting the history of the main world, disrupting the space-time continuum of the main world, and even causing a reversal of time
The most stringent rules do not appear in the heavenly court that upholds rites and music, but rather in the realm of carefree existence that follows the principles of leisure.
***
He was even prepared to perish alongside humanity in the event of its disappearance
The world of Zhou Tu is home to three thousand true deities and eight million minor gods, with a population that has proliferated into the hundreds of millions. Among them are those with vast supernatural powers who can control monsters, fly through the skies, traverse the earth, summon winds and rains, and create countless wondrous artifacts. They revere a carefree existence; some have embraced the concept of rites and music, restraining their desires, while others still hope to live freely, unbound by any rules.
Over the course of thousands of years, the Earth has undergone terrifying changes, with mountains continuously rising, some land sinking, rivers being formed, and even countless streams emerging. Floods have occurred, and various venomous snakes and ferocious beasts have threatened the survival of all humanity
In a war, a war fanatic launched nuclear weapons capable of destroying all of humanity. This destruction not only affected humanity but also the Earth, where humanity resides, as well as the entire solar system
Human beings are willing to let the flames of war consume everything for the sake of their own preferences
***
As the struggle became increasingly brutal, humanity wielded its immense power to engage in large-scale massacres of its own kind, causing the population of the entire main world to shrink to a terrifying extent, leading to a regression in human civilization
In different places, different countries, and among different races, various wise individuals who inherited beliefs have emerged one after another. They all believe that their methods can elevate the human soul, help one forget those pains, and even attain immortality once again
They have excavated all the minerals, utilized all resources to manufacture goods, and humanity is even capable of creating artificial intelligence that surpasses their own intelligence. They can transform themselves into beings comparable to deities, possessing a body that is half mechanical and half biological, capable of instantaneously acquiring all knowledge, and endowed with a longevity that belongs to the mythological era
Under the encroachment of new species, the four chosen beings by Qian exhibit characteristics that are incompatible with the principle of natural selection. They are sufficiently benevolent, lacking ambition and desire, yet this also results in their inability to stand out in the competition among species, leading them to gradually march towards extinction under the competition of the new species
Zhou Dynasty
Although Qian and Shang continuously strive to maintain order, they are still unable to eliminate all accidents, as the Zhou Earth God myth is simply too powerful, even possessing forbidden spells that can seal Qian.
For the first time, humanity can help Qian share the burden of the world's destruction, for the first time, there is a mythological world free from disaster, for the first time, humanity is able to wield great power and strives to assist itself.
Their enemies are nearly half of the deities from the Zhou Earth God Mythology. Three true gods wish to establish a world of their own, and they persuade those deities who advocate for a carefree existence. These deities have gathered an immensely powerful force, which the power represented by Wen Wang cannot possibly contend with
Thus, it made an unprecedented decision to extract all events that could lead to the destruction of humanity from the long flow of time and space, transforming them into an independently existing legendary world, in order to preserve the reproduction and existence of humanity
It must maintain those legendary worlds, preventing them from reversing into the main world. It cannot contradict itself, so it has only one choice
The world of the earth still exerts various influences on the main world, but these influences are fragmented and incomplete, leading to countless contradictions in human myths and legends, as well as various discontinuities and inexplicable phenomena
The dry sky represents another aspect of humanity, a destructive aspect, which is the true history of humanity, the genuine existence that is irreplaceable
The savior Xu Xian, under the guidance of Qian, realizes that if he does not save the world, he will vanish from history. He must rise up and unleash his power, sealing the temporal disconnection, allowing this temporal node to return to the world of Qin Shi.
Until one day, another form of consciousness, "carefree," was born
When the space-time experiences turbulence, and the legendary world is in reverse, your parents, grandparents, and ancestors from dozens of generations ago will die or disappear, and you will never be born, vanishing from this world
These four saviors were also rewarded by Qian, becoming one of the true deities of the Heavenly Court, assisting King Wen in maintaining the balance of the Zhou Earth mythology and the main world
The subordinates of Jiu Luan soon could no longer endure the rule of this leader. Having betrayed everyone, they were unable to seek assistance from the deities of the Zhou, Tu, and Ji who were originally in the same camp, nor from the Third Gene Civilization. Ultimately, they turned their attention to the opposing camp and sent out a plea for help to the Xuan Shang and Tian Ting.
This time, Qian not only extracted three thousand years of history but also sealed off hundreds of thousands of miles of land, enclosing the most perilous peaks, the most overflowing rivers, the deep mountains and vast marshes inhabited by venomous snakes and fierce beasts, as well as dense forests and high mountains, all places unsuitable for human habitation into the second legendary world
Carefree and unrestrained does not equate to being devoid of desires and aspirations; rather, it signifies an increasing lack of restraint over greed and desire. Jiu Luan even wishes that the deities of the Carefree Sect in the Zhou Earth Era would not meddle in her affairs. At the same time, she has betrayed everyone, including the gods of the Zhou Earth Era and the Third Gene Civilization.
Among those selected by the merchants to enter the main world, there was a person named Wen Wang, who observed the two different philosophies of rules and freedom, and invented the rites and music
The savior Zhang Yu, found by Qian, along with his companion, entered the Blood Demon World one after another in order to save their own world and loved ones
The people of this world possess the most powerful strength, as well as a philosophy that is entirely opposite to that of the Qiantian world and the Xuanshang world. They also possess the ability to restrain Qian, making both Qian and Shang reluctant to enter it
***
The Earth is akin to the most brutal of hells, where living beings continuously perish. After meteors are shattered, they release immense energy and seeds of malevolent life, triggering bizarre mutations and giving rise to countless evil spirits that stand against humanity
Morality is the highest embodiment of rules, the ultimate standard, yet a completely moral world cannot be sustained
***
In order to maximize her own freedom, Jiu Luan can only choose the most stringent rules to restrain her subordinates. Although she knows that this is contrary to her pursuits, she finds herself with no other options
Dryness has sealed off this world, extracting and introducing new species, allowing these four forms of life to continue living comfortably in an environment devoid of competition, as he has completely lost hope for these beings
He selected four beings that were the purest, the kindest, and completely devoid of destructive ambitions and desires, and created a world into which he cast these four beings
It also has no other means but to once again extract these immortal souls, the wise ones who spread the faith, the fallen evil gods, as well as this chaotic history and time, transforming them into the fifth legendary world— the Underworld
Humanity is even unaware that its history should have witnessed three great floods, seven meteor impacts, and six nuclear annihilations
He is a collective will of humanity, unable to resist the destructive tendencies that also arise from humanity itself
The seven saviors selected by Qian fell in this battle for various reasons: some due to misguided ideologies, some relinquished their responsibilities as saviors because they found the tasks impossible to accomplish, and others were killed in conflicts with others
Commerce has become the ruler of the world of mystery and has also become a part of human consciousness. It represents authority, it represents wisdom, it represents courage, it represents perseverance. Commerce is almost the embodiment of all that is beautiful in humanity
It is only after the rules were established that Qian came to understand thinking and realized what constituted his vast consciousness
It has decided to select heroes among humanity to save the world
The universe is a vast and boundless consciousness, composed of countless chaotic thoughts. These thoughts number in the billions, with new consciousness being born every moment, while at the same time, consciousness also perishes. Each consciousness encompasses experiences, emotions, memories, knowledge, judgments, likes and dislikes, all of which are in a constant state of change
The savior from the First Mechanical Civilization possesses the ability to transform everything into mechanical products, capable of changing into spaceships, laser cannons, giant robots, supercomputers, various tools and weapons, and is valiant and warlike
Qian could never eradicate those unruly thoughts, and he also discovered that if humanity were to always adhere to a single rule, there would be no future. This realization plunged him into distress
Heaven is the sky, it is the world, it is nature, it is the manifestation of human consciousness, it is the source of consciousness that sustains the world
The Legend of the Three Thousand Worlds
Despite countless efforts, Qian was ultimately unable to completely eradicate these disasters. He devoted all his energy to governing the Qiantian world, becoming increasingly powerless to assist humanity. He could only choose seven individuals to save the world, marking the first time Qian selected saviors from among humans.
Moral Chronicle
Qian first experienced an impulse, consuming most of his strength, extracting a full thirty thousand years of human time, transforming it into the Qiantian world
In order to sustain humanity and to delay its own demise, it has taken various measures for salvation
The merchant is also the first individual to step into the realm of the divine from the identity of humanity
This meteor is immense, and as it approaches Earth, it shines brighter than the sun, more brilliantly than the most intense sun. Its flames scorch the earth, reducing all things to ashes, and its mass triggers the collapse of the land, causing the landmasses to split.
The Third Gene Civilization
Without rules, there can be no order; to be carefree and at ease; the survival of the fittest
At that time, Qian believed that the root of human chaos was the possession of great power
Even the power of the Qian is continuously diminishing due to humanity's self-destruction
It is the collective consciousness of humanity, it is humanity itself. Since its birth, it has continuously protected humanity and fulfilled human desires, yet it has also discovered humanity's tendency towards self-destruction, even leading to countless actions that could result in its own annihilation
In the end, it was a person who had never been chosen by Tang, a youth from the clan of Tang, named Shang, who understood the principle that humanity should unite. Unable to persuade Tang, he left Tang's tribe and wandered the earth for over ten years, observing the conditions of each tribe and gathering strength
A youth from the Second Spirit Civilization possesses powerful psychic abilities, capable of manipulating souls; however, his character is devoid of desires and aspirations, lacking even the motivation to save the world
Seven saviors chosen by Qian, among them the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor aged in the long battles, while Yao and Shun were killed by the enemy. Only Gun, Yu, and Tang remained, dissatisfied with the actions of the Shang, and began their campaign against him
Ultimately, ritual and music triumphed over barbarism, wisdom overcame greed, and humanity not only understood power but also grasped the wisdom to wield it
The eternal soul, devoid of a physical body, faces countless issues. Without a body, it loses the joy brought by rites and music, cannot enjoy the pleasures of the flesh, and is stripped of human affection and emotions. It can only descend into infinite suffering, enduring an unending solitude that knows no limits
Humanity has experienced numerous cataclysms bestowed by nature. Although there have been efforts to alleviate these disasters, the ultimate fate of destruction has not been entirely escaped, and a small portion of remnants still remains in the main world
He spread the principles throughout the world, allowing everyone to gradually understand right from wrong, what should be done and what should not. He also made people aware of etiquette and moderation, understanding the relationship between giving and receiving, realizing that the world cannot satisfy endless demands, and comprehending that the world may also face destruction, leading to the extinction of humanity alongside it. Continuous greed will bring about one's own demise. He also helped people find better ways to attain happiness, freeing themselves from greed and desire, while still being able to possess contentment and joy.

Under the control and guidance of Qian, humanity did not develop any machinery, but instead discovered a form of spiritual energy, utilizing this energy to develop a civilization that is entirely different from mechanical civilization
This war is not only a conflict in the world of Qianhe, but also a clash of two different human ideologies. Both "rules" and "freedom" can gain maximum recognition from humanity. Every individual enjoys living in a world governed by rules, yet at the same time yearns to break those rules and possess privileges
At the dawn of humanity, as life flourished and wisdom began to emerge, everything thrived; however, a colossal meteor fell from the heavens.
In a situation where he could no longer endure, Qian intervened in the war of the main world, disrupting humanity's self-destruction. However, he never anticipated that he would encounter failure for the first time.
It is precisely because the Qin Dynasty was unable to achieve unification and did not perish that the history of the Qin Dynasty is fragmented, resulting in countless temporal and spatial disconnections
The Qin Dynasty is a mythological world of the largest power that, despite failing to unify China, has existed for two thousand years, always aspiring to unify China
The main world is one that has always been peaceful and harmonious; although there have been wars, it has never faced an extinction-level crisis, much like our real world
The eight hundred tribes led by Shang have learned a variety of extraordinary abilities through their continuous battles with the world, abilities that enable them to conquer the world more effectively
Thus, humanity is aware of the wilderness battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, yet it is unable to glean even the slightest clue from archaeology, relegating it to the realm of ancient imagination and creation.
The dragon represents justice; it pays no attention to the newly emerged species in this world, only occasionally feeling offended, which leads it to engage in rampant slaughter without discerning right from wrong, resulting in an increasingly deep-seated hatred with the new species introduced by Qian.
***
Qian has always been in a state of chaos, until one day, a spark erupted in the consciousness of countless humans, a consciousness known as "rules." Rules have the ability to unify the vast and incomprehensible chaotic thoughts originating from different sources.
However, during the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Empire was never able to achieve complete unification. It is precisely for this reason that it did not meet its end during the reign of the Second Emperor. Qin Shi Huang obtained the secret to immortality, possessed the technology of the first mechanical civilization, and harnessed the mysterious powers of the Zhou Dynasty, constantly engaging in battles with the saviors sent to confront him.
Through the efforts of Shang and countless individuals, humanity has eradicated all monstrous threats to its existence. Da Yu managed the floods that endangered humanity, and all disasters have been conquered one by one
Thus, the Zhou Earth, which advocates for carefree existence, is continuously engaged in cataclysmic battles. Each individual has their own reason for fighting. Every few decades, the Qian and Shang will select a group of the most outstanding humans to enter the Zhou Earth, in order to maintain the stability of this world and prevent its collapse
The wise among humanity are unable to find solutions to these hardships from heritage and history, as the lineage has been severed, and history has become fragmented and incomplete, leaving them to ponder in solitude.
The Qian Heaven is the manifestation of the Qian consciousness, inseparable from it... If there were an apt description, then the Qian Heaven world would be the body of Qian, the brain of Qian, the embodiment of Qian
The realms established by these immortal souls include the underworld, hell, heaven, the blissful world, reincarnation, the Yellow Springs, the netherworld, and purgatory
Heavenly Court Chronicle
During the process of extracting the mythological chronicle of the Earth God of the Dry, a small portion of crucial time was inadvertently overlooked due to a minor oversight
Two individuals from the First Mechanical Civilization completed their mission. Unable to return to their own world, they willingly sacrificed themselves to assist Qian in extracting this chaotic world and integrating it into the Qin Dynasty.
This time, Qian has slowed down the pace of humanity, treating each dangerous sign with caution before it appears
The vast and boundless universe has existed since time immemorial, with matter being eternal and indestructible. Matter merely transforms from one form to another; however, consciousness does not always arise from it. Without the existence of consciousness, even though matter is eternal, life cannot emerge, let alone the occurrence of civilization.
The wise individuals who spread faith never anticipated that their intention to alleviate human suffering would instead create the greatest chaos. They could only gather their followers to confront the malevolent deities who held dominion over the immortality of souls. This battle has persisted for several centuries, nearly obliterating humanity's beliefs
This is a placeholder text.
Qian will no longer personally intervene in the fate of humanity; he will extend an invitation to those humans who may disappear from the main world at any moment due to the reverse surge of the legendary world
Humanity has grown weary of everything
The myth of the Dry Sky has sealed all the catastrophic crises in history, thus this is a world plagued by disasters, where floods are constantly overflowing, meteors crash to the ground at intervals, glaciers and droughts alternate, flames accompany torrential rains, ferocious beasts roam freely, malevolent spirits abound, and the sun scorches the earth like a furnace
Only the last savior, Dayu, remains. Through countless battles, he has come to understand that humanity can only conquer disasters by uniting. He voluntarily relinquishes the power of his tribe to address the floods that inundate the land.
It is necessary to interrupt the history of humanity and also to exile the Second Technological World, allowing humanity to redevelop civilization
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the sealed mighty white serpent revived, causing destruction throughout the city of Hangzhou. It also sought to exploit the disruption of time and space to return to its original world, but instead, it created a major crisis
This is a world that cannot be described in words, where Qian alone bears the vast majority of human suffering
These seven saviors have all emerged with the thought of saving the world amidst hardship, each forming their own ideals of salvation. Following the normal course of events, they would eventually perish under the world's backlash. However, Qian has given them another opportunity
The Annals of Qian
Absolute freedom equals no freedom
Every individual believes themselves to be an independent entity, possessing their own thoughts and pursuing their desired actions. However, they are unaware that throughout the vast expanse of human history, at an unknown time and under unknown circumstances, a unique will of their own was born.
Dry weather
The Records of Qin Shi
The content is not provided for translation
Qian is maintaining the stability of the Qiantian Era, unable to withdraw, and can only make hasty remedies, passing the message to the First Mechanical Civilization and seeking a savior from the main world
Come to the legend, and fight hard for your own fate and that of humanity
The savior from the main world is merely an ordinary boy, yet he possesses the most resolute character and the most persistent effort. He understands that he has no way out; the other three saviors can leave the Zhoutu world and return to their own worlds even if they fail to complete their tasks, but he cannot. If he fails to accomplish this task, his family, his friends, all his ancestors, the girl he likes, and even himself will be reduced to ashes. Even if they fail to complete their tasks, they can leave the Zhoutu world and return to their own worlds, but he cannot. If he fails to accomplish this task, his family, his friends, all his ancestors, the girl he likes, and even himself will be reduced to ashes
The Third Gene Civilization thus became aware of this critical period and also joined the competition for the Qin Dynasty.
The seven saviors are: Huangdi, Yandi, Yao, Shun, Gun, Yu, and Tang
If this meteor were to strike the Earth, it would unleash the power equivalent to billions of tons of nuclear explosions, sufficient to extinguish all life on Earth, including humanity. It would devastate the Earth's atmosphere, shrouding the sky in thick clouds for tens of thousands of years, potentially preventing the emergence of any life, rendering the planet a dead world
Qian chose "rules" as the core of self-awareness, integrating the consciousness in humanity that tends toward rules and conforms to them. Self-awareness gradually became stronger, even to the extent of interfering with humanity and guiding human thought to shift in the same direction
They received the power bestowed by Qian and once again defeated the invasion of the Third Gene Civilization
Humanity has also created countless tools, invented the most powerful weapons, manufactured spacecraft capable of traversing the starry sky, and even launched entire cities into space, establishing bases in the universe that can accommodate millions of people, shining like stars
Before the world was formed from the void of time, human lifespan was infinite; no one died from aging, nor did anyone fall ill. Even the most severe injuries could be healed by magic
Although there will still be impacts on the main world due to recoil, this threat has been minimized to the utmost extent
Its birth was due to humanity's first crisis of destruction
These individuals lack strength, cannot attain immortality, and possess no knowledge, yet they have created countless models of society solely through imagination, harnessing the power of thought, causing this world, brought into existence by the Dao, to be destroyed countless times and reborn anew.
Jiu Luan remained undeterred, as the Qin Shiji was most similar to human history and was itself a small yet crucial segment of time left behind by Qian, serving as a springboard into the main world. Therefore, she had Zeng Guo create two highly poisonous white snakes to be sent into the Qin Shiji, intending to disrupt the progression of the main world
Occasionally, there are still evil spirits that have escaped from the world of Qiantian wreaking havoc, causing human life to remain fraught with danger
Even if everything is destined to be destroyed, including humanity, the planet, the future, and even space
Qian Yi believed that humanity had found the right path, confidently immersing itself in the world of Qian Tian, solving the endless natural disasters
Those who are chosen by it due to the collapse of the legendary world, who will be implicated, who will face misfortune, and who will die, embark on difficult missions to save the world, to save humanity, and also to save their own destinies. The vast majority of people do not believe in such matters, reject its summons, and even regard its summons as a mere dream.
The savior from the Mythology of Xuan Shang was originally sentenced to death for committing a serious crime. However, Shang specifically granted him a pardon, allowing him to enter the world of Zhou to atone for his sins. This savior from the Xuan Shang Chronicles possesses various divine powers, yet he is inherently lazy and has a strong tendency to evade responsibility
***
However, the technology of life ultimately lost control, rebounding against humanity, which prides itself as the pinnacle of all beings. The genes that had been manipulated countless times began to collapse destructively, and the vast majority of humanity lost the ability to reproduce. No matter how advanced the technology, it could not prevent the entire human gene pool from heading towards destruction
Therefore, in this mission, the savior from the main world never retreated even once. When his three companions faced an irretrievable crisis and contemplated retreating, he fought valiantly without backing down. His tenacity and will inspired the three companions, ultimately leading them to exert all their strength to fight alongside him.
The repeated conspiracies of the Nine Luan have been thwarted several times, prompting the Third Gene Civilization, which has been closely monitoring the Qin Dynasty, to take action. They utilized a temporal discontinuity of the Qin Dynasty to enter the period at the intersection of the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties
The phoenix represents kindness; it does not favor new species and continuously reduces its territory to avoid the invasion of new species. In the face of shrinking territory, the phoenix clan struggles to survive, and the leader has even ordered a reduction in reproduction to cope with this situation
As the power of commerce grows stronger, it has provoked dissatisfaction among the saviors
Qian finally understood that only humans possess the greatest competitive strength. Despite the countless shortcomings of humanity, it is only humans who can stand out in such fierce competition and become the masters of the world
The reward it gives to these successful individuals is ... ! ... a glory akin to that of the divine !
The Qian could only send forth the saviors, and countless saviors advanced one after another, ultimately overthrowing this unprecedented unified dynasty, shattering the forces that protected this dynasty, allowing the power of Qian to descend and extracting the Qin Shi era from the main world
The Chronicle of Xuan Commerce
Although Qian is a collective entity of human consciousness, and nearly every thought of humanity, even the slightest notion, cannot escape its awareness, it still cannot comprehend humanity
The Twelve Mythological Eras and the World of Three Thousand Legends
This team of saviors comes from different mythological eras, and they set out from different worlds, being unfamiliar with one another. Therefore, they made an agreement that each savior would have a common symbol representing the "eye" of Qian, which signifies the omnipresence of Qian's gaze
However, the signals from the First Technological World restored Qian's confidence. After being exiled by Qian, the First Technological World reflected on its past mistakes, rediscovered propriety and music, controlled its ambitions and desires, and set technology on a proper course, benefiting humanity under human control
The last two great civilizations will engage in their final battle in the future world, triggered by a game.
Ritual and music have found a point of balance between rules and freedom, yet they cannot satisfy everyone. Although the majority understand how to live better, there are still those who wish to maintain their original conquests and desires. Ritual and music can conquer, but they cannot eradicate the dark nature of humanity.
Jiu Luan acquired the technology of the Third Gene Civilization and quietly established a powerful force that combined the Zhou Earth World and the Third Gene Civilization, seeking assistance from the Zhou Earth Era and receiving countless helpers
Humanity, having freed itself from these disasters, gradually became prosperous. The independent civilization of humanity began to fight for personal desires, competing for land, wealth, population, and everything that could be contested
The dry powder has shattered, and the meteor that is destined to destroy the Earth has borne all the natural disasters
Even the dry itself has been controlled by those among humanity who possess malevolent wisdom through forbidden means, turning it into a tool of destruction
Despite continuous concessions, he was compelled to fight by Gun and Tang. He, along with the two saviors, endured thousands of years of arduous battles, ultimately subduing the two largest tribes, thereby significantly strengthening his own power
He exists for the propagation of humanity, and is born for this purpose, unable to alter this situation
Spiritual energy is almost omnipotent; it can be manipulated by the human soul without the need for tools, does not harm the Earth, does not pollute the atmosphere and environment, and has no inclination towards war
In the main world, the Qin Dynasty perished after two generations, having briefly established a unified empire, and it was also the first feudal unified dynasty in Chinese history
However, Qian soon realized that although an increasing number of humans acknowledged the rules, there always existed thoughts of breaking them. Some individuals simply refused to abide by the rules, giving rise to various absurd yet fanciful ideas. These ideas undermined the rules; some caused destruction, while others guided humanity towards beauty and glory
The seven individuals he selected each gathered a group of like-minded people in this world, establishing different tribes, executing various philosophies, and striving hard to govern this world
Having lost this most arduous chapter of history and the devastating time it entailed, humanity has finally regained a life of tranquility and peace
For a long, long time after its birth, Qian was unable to control the billions of human consciousnesses that constituted itself. It was governed by these consciousnesses, and in every moment, countless different and conflicting thoughts were born. Some of these thoughts collided and extinguished, some generated serious confusion, while others seemed to merge, giving rise to something entirely new. It was governed by these consciousnesses, and in every moment, countless different and conflicting thoughts were born. Some of these thoughts collided and extinguished, some generated serious confusion, while others seemed to merge, giving rise to something entirely new.
Han Yu, sent by the First Mechanical Civilization, joined forces with the Savior Yang Zhu to temporarily alleviate the crisis, thwart the conspiracy of Zeng Guo, prevent the return of the Third Gene Civilization, and maintain the normal trajectory of human history

Once again, the third technological world was exiled, and they were given the opportunity to reflect
The concept of "Qian" represents rules, while "Shang" embodies all the beauty that exists within those rules.

He resisted the withdrawal of the Qian and utilized forbidden spells to prevent the power of Qian, aspiring to become the sole nation of the main world and to rule eternally.
The power of humanity is indeed overwhelming, to the extent that it has become the very source of the world's destruction. An endless stream of malevolent wisdom has erupted, giving rise to countless powerful spells. This is a world where deities and demons coexist
Jiu Luan concealed her identity and entered the world of the Third Gene Civilization, where she learned about genetic technology and underwent powerful transformations on herself
The dry will no longer wait until the crisis reaches a point of near irreversibility to extract time and space, but will transform it into a legendary world before the signs of danger appear, countless legendary worlds forming a series of defenses for the human world

The First Mechanical Civilization
Qian and Shang, along with King Wen, ultimately decided to dispatch a team of saviors to assist these traitors

The Mythology of Xuan Shang is the first barrier of humanity
At the same time, humanity has produced countless technological wastes, polluting the atmosphere to the point where it can no longer provide breathable air, rendering the earth incapable of growing food, causing rivers to dry up, and eliminating sources of drinking water. Thousands of human lives are lost, as city after city on the ground succumbs to death, and one city after another in space extinguishes.
It is even more unknown that the most advanced continent once regressed to barbarism due to foolish policies
The mission of the four saviors is to prevent these deities from seizing control of the Zhou Earth Mythology Chronicle, allowing Wen Wang to become the master of the Zhou Earth Mythology Chronicle. Once the deities who advocate for freedom gain control over the Zhou Earth world, the human main world will inevitably have to confront the Zhou Earth Mythology Chronicle, facing the imminent threat of destruction from the gods and humans, as well as demons and monsters that may emerge from the Zhou Earth Mythology Chronicle.
This war is referred to as the War of Rites and Music
The four types of life are the dragon, phoenix, qilin, and unicorn. They live very comfortably in the new world, where everything is beautiful. Qian observed for several hundred years and believed that his ideas were completely sound. He intended to replace human life with these four types of beings. Shang stopped him and suggested that he introduce a new "species" into this world to observe how these four types of life would respond to competitors.
Clearly, it is the most necessary task, yet no one is willing to undertake it. Clearly, it is the best choice, yet no one is willing to make it. Clearly, it is a problem that could be easily resolved, but in the end, it has turned into a deadlock. Clearly, it will lead to the most tragic outcomes, yet they refuse to avoid it.
Thus, humanity knows that Pangu once opened up the heavens and the earth, yet no one truly believes that such a powerful giant ever existed

The merchant gained immense power, yet did not cherish it for himself. In order to assist humanity, he bestowed this power upon the people of the main world, hoping they would use it to improve their lives. However, humanity disappointed him. They utilized the power passed down by the merchant for conflict, for slaughter, for the conquest of their own kind, and to satisfy their own selfish desires, but never to transform the world or to enhance their own lives.
Rules can unify different individuals under a common framework, but freedom can give rise to countless conflicts, as each person desires to be free and unrestrained. Each individual also influences others and is influenced by them.
The extraction and sealing of the world is a lengthy process. Everything that Qian does is imperceptible to the people of the main world. They will forget the world that once was, and only occasionally, due to Qian's oversights, will certain remnants from the previous era prompt the wisest among them to reflect.
Every catastrophic event that could lead to the destruction of humanity, including the time and space in which they exist, all the characters involved, all the objects, and everything else has been extracted from the human world by it
