1|The Providence of Heaven

In this heaven full of Gods and Buddhas, there is a famous laughing stock of the three worlds.

Legend has it that eight hundred years ago, there was an ancient country in the land of the Central Plains called Xianle Country.

The ancient country of Xianle has a large land area and a peaceful and happy people. The country has four treasures: beautiful people like clouds, colorful music, and gold jewels. And a famous Prince.

This Crown Prince is, how should I put it, a strange man.

The king and queen regarded him as the jewel in the palm of their hand and doted on him, often proudly saying, “My son will be a bright king in the future, and will be known for generations to come.”

However, for the mundane kingly power and riches, the crown prince was completely uninterested.

What he was interested in, to use a phrase he used to say to himself, was–

“I will save the living!”

–

When the Prince was a young man, he was bent on practicing, and on his way to practice, there were two popular short stories.

The first story, which took place when he was seventeen.

That year, Xianle Kingdom held a grand Shangyuan Festival Tour.

Although this traditional event has been abandoned for hundreds of years, it is still possible to recall from the surviving ancient texts and the oral accounts of the people who lived there what a great event it was for all to celebrate together.

Shangyuan Festival, Shenwu Street.

On both sides of the street there was a sea of people. Princes and nobles talking and laughing on high buildings; royal warriors valiantly wearing armor to open the way; young girls dancing, snow-white hands sprinkling the sky rain of flowers, I do not know who is more beautiful than the people and the flowers; golden car from the melodious sound of music in the whole of the imperial city floating in the air. At the end of the ceremonial procession, sixteen white horses with golden bridles pulled a Chinese platform in parallel.

On top of this high Hua platform was the Yue Shen martial artist who was in the limelight.

In the Sacrifice of Heaven Tour, the Yue Shen martial artist will wear a golden mask, dress in fancy clothes, hold a sword, and play the role of the first martial arts god of the millennium who subdues demons and devils – Shen Wu Da Di Jun Wu.

Once one was selected as a Yue Shen martial artist, it was a supreme honor, therefore, the selection criteria were extremely strict. This year, the one who was chosen was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The entire nation was confident that he would accomplish one of the most spectacular Yue Shen Wu ever.

However, that day, an accident happened.

On the third lap of the honor guard around the city, it passed a wall more than ten feet high.

At that time, the Martial God on the Hua stage was about to kill the demon with a single sword strike.

It was a most exciting scene, boiling on both sides of the street and raging above the walls, with people scrambling to probe, struggling and pushing.

At that moment, a small child fell from the citadel.

The screams were sky-high. Just when people thought that this little child was about to splatter his blood on Shenwu Street, the Crown Prince slightly raised his head and leapt forward to catch him.

People only had time to see a bird-like white shadow flying against the sky, and the crown prince had already landed peacefully with that little child in his arms. The golden mask fell, revealing the handsome young face behind it.

The next moment, ten thousand people cheered.

The people were elated, but the state masters of the royal dojo had a headache.

Never thought it would go so wrong.

It’s ominous. It’s so ominous!

Hua Tai around the imperial city tour | line of each circle, are symbolized for the country to pray for a year of national prosperity and people’s peace, and now interrupted, that is not to invite disaster!

Masters of the country worried about the hair as rain, after thinking about it, invited the Prince, politely said, Your Highness, can you face the wall for a month to show repentance? You don’t really have to face the wall, just mean it.

The Prince smiled, “Don’t.”

Here’s what he said, “It’s not like saving people is a bad thing. How can heaven condemn me for doing the right thing?”

Uh …… what if it goes to heaven and sins?

“Then heaven is wrong, why should the right apologize to the wrong?”

The state teachers were speechless.

This Prince is such a person.

He never met anything he couldn’t do or anyone who didn’t love him. He was the right thing on earth, he was the center of the world.

So, although the state masters were pained in their hearts, “What do you know!”

But it’s not good to say more, and I don’t dare to say more. His Highness wouldn’t listen anyway.

–

The second story, too, took place when the Prince was seventeen years old.

Legend has it that there is a bridge south of the Yellow River called the Bridge of One Thought, and a ghost has wandered on this bridge for many years.

This ghost is very scary: dressed in broken armor, feet on fire, covered with blood and swords and arrows, leaving a trail of blood and fire behind it with every step. Every few years, it would suddenly appear at night and wander across the bridge, stopping pedestrians to ask three questions: “Where is this place?” “Who is this person?” “Why?”

If the answer was incorrect, the ghost would devour it in one gulp. However, no one knew what the correct answer was, so for several years, the ghost had devoured countless pedestrians.

Hearing of this incident while traveling in the clouds, the Prince found the Yixian Bridge and guarded it night after night, finally, encountering the haunted ghost in one night.

The ghost appeared, and it was indeed as eerie as rumored. It opened its mouth and asked the Prince its first question, to which the Prince replied with a smile, “This earth.”

Instead, the ghost said, “There is no room in this room.”

Open the door and answer the first question wrong.

The Prince thought to himself, “Why wait for you to finish your questions when you’re going to get all three wrong anyway? So he lit up his weapon and started fighting.

The battle was a dark one. Prince of martial arts is strong, the ghost is even more brave and horrifying. A person and a ghost on the bridge fight is almost the sun and the moon turn, finally, the ghost finally lost the battle.

After the ghost disappeared, the prince planted a flowering tree at the end of the bridge. At this time, a Taoist man was passing by and happened to see him scattering shovelfuls of earth here to see it off, and asked, “What is this for?”

The Prince then said the famous eight words, “The body is in the Infernal, the heart is in the Peach Garden.”

The Taoist listened, smiled faintly, transformed into a divine general clad in white armor, stepped on the auspicious clouds, pulled the long wind, and rode the light of the sky away. Only then did the Prince realize that he had happened to meet the Divine Martial Emperor, who had come down in person to subdue the demons and subdue the devils.

The Immortal Gods of the Heavens had noticed this very outstanding Yue Shen martial artist when he made that leap at the Shang Yuan Sacrificial Heavenly Tour. After seeing him this time at the Yi Nian Qiaotou, an Immortal asked the Emperor, “What do you think of this Crown Prince?”

The emperor also replied with eight words, “This son’s future is unlimited.”

That night, a natural vision was born above the palace, and the wind and rain were in full force.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, His Royal Highness ascended.

–

But whenever someone ascended, the Heavenly Realm would tremble. When this Crown Prince ascended, it directly made the entire Heavenly Realm tremble three times.

It’s too hard, too hard to fix it.

It took talent, cultivation, and chance. The birth of a god was often a long, hundred-year road.

When the young man will be immortalized the proud son of heaven is not no; exhaustion of a lifetime of hard repair hundred years are not looking forward to a heavenly tribulation is also a large number of people; even if it is to wait for a heavenly tribulation, can not pass this level is also going to die, not dead but also wasted; such as the sands of the Ganges, but the whole of his life are mediocre, can not find their own way of ignorance of the mortals.

And this Prince, undoubtedly is the favorite of heaven. What he wants, there is no can’t get; what he wants to do, there is no can’t do; he wants to ascend to become a god, then really in the seventeen years old that year ascended to become a god.

He was originally the hearts of the people, coupled with the king and queen pining for their son, ordered for him to vigorously build palaces and temples in various places, open caves and statues, all the people worship. The more believers the more palaces and temples, the longer the lifespan, the stronger the power. Thus, Xianle Palace Prince Hall in just a few years within the scenery, the heyday of a moment, reached its peak.

–until three years later, when Xianle was in great disarray.

–

The cause of the chaos was the tyranny of the king and the rebels’ uprising. However, even though the earth has been at war, the Divine Officers of the Heavenly Realm, are not allowed to intervene at will. Unless the demons and devils cross the border, they can do whatever they want. Imagine, the earth is everywhere is strife, people all feel their own reason, if anyone goes up to intervene, today you help your homeland support, tomorrow he helped his descendants revenge, will not be moving to the gods and goddesses fight, the sun and the moon are not light? Like His Royal Highness this situation, it is even more necessary to avoid suspicion.

But he didn’t care. He said to the emperor, “I want to save the living.”

The emperor was sitting on a thousand years of divine power, but he still didn’t dare to hang these words on his lips all day long, so when he heard him say this, his mood was imaginable. But there was nothing he could do about it, saying, “You can’t save everyone.”

The Prince said, “I can.”

And so, he went down to earth without a second thought.

The people of Xianle naturally celebrated. However, folktales throughout the ages have long endeavored to illustrate to the people the truth that there is absolutely no good outcome when the gods come down to earth privately.

And so, instead of calming down, the war burned more frantically.

It wasn’t that His Royal Highness didn’t try, but he might as well not have tried. The more he tried, the more the battle was a mess, the Xianle people were beaten and bloodied, with heavy casualties, and in the end, a plague swept through the entire royal city, the rebels fought their way into the royal palace, and the war ended.

If Xianle had been lingering on, then His Highness the Crown Prince had directly caused it to break.

–

After the destruction of the country, people finally realized something suddenly:

It turned out that the Prince, whom they worshipped as the God of Heaven, was not as perfectly powerful as they had imagined.

To put it bluntly, isn’t it just a waste of time that can’t make things happen?

With no outlet for the pain of losing their homes and families, the people, full of wounds and pain, angrily poured into the Prince’s temple, toppled the statue and burned down the temple.

Eight thousand palaces and temples were burned to the ground for seven days and seven nights.

Since then, a martial god who guarded peace has disappeared, and a plague god who invites disaster has been born.

People say you’re a god and you’re a god, they say you’re shit and you’re shit, and they say you have to be whatever you are. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.

–

His Royal Highness could not accept this fact in any way. What he could not accept even more was the punishment he was to receive: relegation.

Seal the mana and strike it down to earth.

He had grown up with thousands of pampered children and had never suffered from earthly hardships. And this punishment made him fall from the clouds to a mess of mud. In this muck, for the first time, he experienced hunger, poverty, and filth. And for the first time, he did things he never thought he would do in this life: stealing, robbing, swearing, and giving himself up. He lost his face, his self-respect, and was so ugly that even his most loyal squire couldn’t accept the change in him and chose to leave.

“Body in the infernal, the heart in the peach origin” these eight words, in Xian Le various stone tablets plaques engraved everywhere, if not after the war almost all were burned out, so that His Royal Highness saw, I guess he was the first to rush up to smash.

The man who said this has proved for himself that he does not have his heart in the peach when he himself is in the Infernal.

–

He ascended to the sky quickly and fell to the ground even faster. The Divine Martial Path was a shocking sight, and the Bridge of One Thought met the Devil and met the Immortal. It seems like it was yesterday. But the heavenly realm sighs for a while, and the past is past.

Until after many years, one day, there was a loud bang in the sky. This Crown Prince, for the second time, ascended.

Throughout history, relegated magi have either fallen flat on their faces or fallen into the ghost realm, and there simply haven’t been many who have been knocked down and still managed to turn around. The second ascension was well deserved and sensational.

What’s even more sensational is that after he ascended, he rushed all the way into the heavenly realm, punching, kicking and killing. So he only ascended for one incense stick before he was beaten down again.

One incense burner. It can be said to be the swiftest and shortest ascension in history.

If that first ascension was a beautiful story, this second ascension is a farce.

–

Two times down the line, the Heavenly Realm was full of dislike for this Prince. After the dislike, there are also a few points of vigilance. After all, if you are relegated once, you are going to die, if you are relegated twice, will you not have to take revenge on the living beings with a big devil in your heart?

Who knows, after being relegated this time, he did not get into the devil, and he was also quite honestly adapting to the relegation life. There is no problem with anything, the only problem is that …… it is not too serious.

Sometimes, he sells his art on the street, playing, playing and singing, even his chest breaks a big stone, although I have heard that this prince can sing and dance, multi-talented, but actually saw it in such a way, it is really a complicated mood. Sometimes, he diligently collected rags.

The Immortal Gods of the Heavens were shocked.

It is unimaginable that it has come to this. So much so that nowadays, if you say to someone, “You have a son who is the Prince of Xianle,” it is much more vicious than calling them a son of the dead.

At least was once a golden crown prince, ranked in the immortal class of the magistrate, mixed to this point, is no one. The so-called laughing stock of the three worlds is the same thing.

After laughing, there are a few sentimental may also sigh: when that high up in the sky, really completely disappeared.

The idol fell, his homeland was destroyed, not a single believer was left behind, and he was gradually forgotten by the world. So no one knew where he had wandered off to.

Being demoted once is already a great shame. Being demoted twice, no one can get up again.

–

Many more years passed, and suddenly one day there was another loud bang in the sky.

The sky is falling and the ground is shaking.

The lamps tremble, the firelight dances wildly, and the magi are all awakened from their own golden halls, running to ask each other: which one of the new dignitaries has ascended to the heavens? It is really a great battle!

谁知，前脚才叹了了不得啊了不得，后脚一看，满天神佛都被劈了个遍。

You’re done!

That famous oddball, the laughing stock of the three worlds, the legendary Prince, he he he – fucking ascended again!
