Chapter 2623 Mayfly World (Twenty-three)
As we all know, the difference between the Eastern and Western pantheons is like heaven and earth.
Oriental mythology has been a very orderly working-class model since the very beginning, with the main idea being that no matter who you are, you have to be busy and there is no such thing as an idle god in China.
Even if you are Yinglong, who lives in the heavenly world, high above and does not enjoy offerings from humans, you still have to go down to work when the time comes. No matter how much stronger you are than the ants on the ground, you have to deliver the express when you are supposed to deliver the express, and be ridden when you are supposed to be ridden, otherwise you will be killed by a bolt of lightning from heaven.
According to Schiller, Marvel does have a heavenly court, but according to Marvel, they all live in a pocket universe and do not normally interact with the human world.
Schiller learned from the director of the Shenmao Bureau that the Heavenly Court was similar to what ordinary Chinese people knew. It was a civil service system responsible for managing the operation of China, and its boss was the Jade Emperor.
Schiller also learned that the story in the Investiture of the Gods actually happened, which means that no matter what kind of troublemaker you were before, as long as you entered the heaven to work, you had to punch in and out honestly.
The stories of Journey to the West also happened in reality, otherwise there would be no monkeys. Traditional mythological characters like Yang Jian and Nezha all existed in real life, and if nothing unexpected happens, they should all be working in heaven now.
The only difference is that the part about modern history wars has been changed. In short, the war took place, but the enemy failed to break through and was blocked outside Shanhaiguan. However, it seems that some problems still occurred, causing demons to come out and the people to be in chaos.
In other words, the original physical war has become a magical war, but the result is completely different, because if you are beaten by others, others will think you are weak.
But if you punch yourself, and beat yourself with both hands until the sky is dark, and the power revealed by one of your fingers is enough to crush a small country, then basically no one dares to say anything.
This is why in Marvel's stories, China is a terrifying backdrop, and there is no such thing as the five permanent members of the UN Security Council balancing each other in the entire world. China and the United States have always been in competition with each other.
Schiller was actually very curious about that period of history, but he also knew that if he inquired about it in his current capacity, he would easily be considered to have ulterior motives. If it was indeed a serious national pain, he would not want to poke at the wound directly.
Of course, he had this concern for humans, but not for dragons. Schiller finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Do you know what happened in China in the early 20th century?"
Yinglong had an expression that showed he knew you were going to ask this question. He said, "The land of China has a long history. Such a long period of time is enough to breed countless monsters, but they were all suppressed by people with lofty ideals."
"Kunlun was the main force to suppress the demons, but something went wrong with Kunlun that year, causing the seals in various places to be completely broken. The demons that had accumulated over thousands of years came out in droves, ultimately leading to a war to exterminate demons that lasted for decades."
"What about the Heavenly Court? Doesn't the Heavenly Court care?"
"Of course we have to take care of it. Not only that, we have the great marshals leading the heavenly soldiers and generals to descend to the earth. Lingshan has also produced many talented people. One of them is the Fighting Buddha who has made many extraordinary achievements and is still revered as the 'Great Sage' by mortals today."
Schiller was a little confused. He asked, "Can't we defeat so many people? How strong are those monsters?"
"The demons are just the vanguard." Yinglong shook his head and said, "In the past, we can talk about the struggle between demons, witches, and humans. In the future, there is the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou. In short... it is difficult to sum it up in one word."
Schiller roughly understood what he heard. In short, it was just some old grudges. However, since it involved such ancient secrets that were so far away, it was definitely not a coincidence. It was probably planned for a long time, and the power level was very high.
Schiller thought about it and asked tentatively, "I heard that Chi You was beaten in the end?"
"Chi You is dead! I killed him!" Ying Long raised his voice and said, "The one who came after him was just a puppet! Not worth mentioning!"
"But I heard that he also borrowed the Xuanyuan Sword."
"That's because they're afraid they can't win!" Yinglong snorted coldly and said, "Although Chiyou has a cruel personality, he was also considered a hero of Jiuli when he fought against the princes. The one who was resurrected later... Humph."
Yinglong didn't say much, but his disdain could be seen from his tone and expression. It was obvious that Chiyou's resurrection must have made him lose face. After all, he was the one who killed Chiyou in the first place, and he actually came back to life. It would be strange if he was not criticized by others.
"So how was it finally resolved?" Schiller asked again.
"It's sealed, how else can it be solved?"
"I just want to ask why we can't kill them? If we had killed those monsters earlier..."
“I can’t kill them.” Yinglong also seemed a little helpless. He said, “These demons are not actually demons. Most of them are gods worshipped by humans. It’s just that humans were weak at that time, so the gods they created were all cruel and brutal. But because they were created by humans, as long as there are still incense and people remember them, it is difficult to kill them. We can only seal them and wait for people to slowly forget them.”
Schiller nodded. He understood that the laws of operation in the East and the West were different. Then he asked, "Chi You should be dead, right?"
"Chiyou's body is not decayed. Although the power controlling him has been purified, his body is still buried." Yinglong said: "But it doesn't matter. They said that it must be well preserved this time and it won't harm them."
Schiller always thought this was a bit strange, so he asked: "Properly preserved? How to properly preserve it?"
"In my opinion, they probably found a deserted place and dumped it there."
Schiller had a bad feeling. "Somewhere in the middle of nowhere? Where exactly?"
"I heard it's on the border of China now, in a very high mountain. There's also an organization like Kunlun Mountain on it. It should be quite safe."
Schiller took a deep breath and immediately took out his cell phone and shouted, "Pamela! Don't start working yet. There might be something wrong in the mountains..."
"Pamela! Pamela! Are you okay? The machine is ready, come here quickly..."
"Oh, here we are." Pamela hung up the phone and said, "Dr. Schiller just called and told us not to start the work yet..."
"We haven't started the construction yet." Stark said in surprise, "Aren't the personnel not in place yet? Forget it, forget it. Look at this. What do you think of this temperature circulation pump?"
In front of Stark was a strange-looking machine. Although it was called a machine, it actually looked like a magical creation. Although it was filled with magical energy, it had the sophisticated structure of a machine.
"The temperature cycle solution you thought of before is totally unacceptable. It wastes too much energy." Stark said, "At least 80% of the energy is used for meaningless consumption. You still have to use my method."
"So what's the advantage of this?" Pamela asked. After the initial contact, she found that provocation worked wonders on this guy. As long as she showed a little bit of perseverance in his skills, he would talk a lot.
Although Pamela didn't like this kind of people, she didn't hate them that much. The reason she did this was that she wanted to learn more from them. After all, she had several greenhouses of her own and the power of green of all things in her hands, but she didn't have any efficient means of using it. If she could learn something from this and take it back, then she wouldn't have to worry.
"Using magic power to generate heat and keep warm is the most wasteful approach. Magic power itself is a kind of universal energy. It doesn't have to be driven to convert into heat in order to keep warm. Instead, we should focus on its original properties and use other things to catalyze it into heat."
"In this way, only a small amount of magic power can be used to achieve the same effect. At least 90% of the magic power can be saved, and the heating effect will be more even."
Pamela nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Their previous idea was actually to build a heater, but they would use magic as fuel to burn the boiler.
Because this place is above the snow line, the temperature is relatively low all year round and is not suitable for the survival of most plants, so a lot of effort must be put into insulation. The previous ideas were either unusable or the energy required was too much for Strange to bear.
Pamela looked at the strange-looking power pump in front of her again. It didn't look like a furnace or something like that. There was a large nozzle at the front, and it seemed that a lot of magical energy was about to surge out.
"I think your traditional methods of improving seeds, grafting and breeding are too slow. I think we can directly use magic power to construct a special magical environment. The only problem is that ordinary magic energy will disappear quickly without attachment and support. We have to find a way to prevent it from disappearing."
"In addition to providing heat for magical energy, this machine also converts magical energy into a kind of radiation. Although a lot of energy will still disappear into the air, the process of their disappearance has been greatly slowed down. The process of disappearance can provide enough radiation for the plants."
Stark walked forward, patted the machine and said, "I'm not sure what kind of mutations this radiation can bring to plants, but we have to try it. Of course, we shouldn't use too much at the beginning. Just open up a small test field, and it has to be completely closed because this thing also has radiation on humans."
Pamela got a little nervous when she heard this. She said, "Don't tell me it's like nuclear radiation."
"I can guarantee that it's not bad radiation, but if this kind of radiation really causes a few magicians to come out, it will be troublesome. Moreover, this kind of radiation may affect the normal operation of magic. It would be terrible if a student sneaked in and cast a spell that caused an explosion."
"Then we really need to find a hidden place." Pamela touched her chin and said, "Oh, I see. The village chief told me before that there is a cave at the foot of their village. The entrance is not big, but there is a different world inside. As long as we open up an experimental field there, there will be no problem sealing the entrance."
"Then let's go and take a look," Stark said.
"Don't you want to call the Supreme Sorcerer?"
"We don't know how effective it will be yet, so don't make a big fuss about it." Stark said, "I'm not completely sure about magic. This thing is too mysterious. I don't want to give that guy a chance to laugh at me. Anyway, there's no danger with you around."
Pamela thought it made sense. Although she couldn't use the power of the Green of All Things now, she was still very sensitive to the state of plants. Even if there was a plant that could attack people, as long as she gave her advance warning, it would be impossible for the cabbage to rush up and punch Iron Man, right?
Schiller on the other end hung up the phone.
He thought, Chi You's corpse caused such a big mess back then, it was impossible to seal it by burying it shallowly on the surface. There would be no problem for him to grow crops on the ground, but it was impossible for the cabbage to penetrate the thick mountain and punch Chi You, right?
