Chapter 1508: Nine Realms Unite
Within Longevity Heaven, Jeremiah Colon, the Heavenly Emperor, had a shrine that strictly prohibited anyone from entering. Other Heavenly Emperors also possessed similar shrines or hidden chambers. Regardless of whether it was a shrine or a hidden chamber, what they truly housed were tablets memorializing their predecessors. Though they were Ancient Great Gods, entities that rivaled the heavens, their skill sets and Divine Skills were not innate. Even their Dao teachings were passed down by others.
Jeremiah Colon’s tablet was named "Three Purities Dao Ancestor," while Central Azure Cloud Emperor’s Family’s tablet was called "Bryden Vance Dao Ancestor."
Great God Yi’s tablet was titled "Upper Aquatic Dao Ancestor."
Goddess Yuyao’s was named "Shadow Mother Dao Ancestor."
Each Heavenly Emperor had their respective lineage, yet the origins of these so-called Dao Ancestors remained a mystery, even unbeknownst to the Heavenly Emperors themselves.
What the Heavenly Emperors did know, however, was that the Dao Ancestors predated the Ancient Gods and Demons and surpassed their might.
During the primordial era, these Dao Ancestors had briefly emerged at the dawn of heavens and earth, imparting their Dao teachings and knowledge before vanishing without a trace.
In that age, the current Heavenly Emperors were still children, holding faint memories of those early teachers—their voices preaching from altars, unveiling truths of the mortal realm, and sharing the laws of the cosmos.
That era also marked the Age of Hundred Schools of Thought, where diverse ideologies clashed and thrived. Yet after passing down their teachings, the Dao Ancestors inexplicably disappeared overnight.
Their disappearance ushered in a vacuum period, during which individual reigns emerged. Figures like the Ancient Abyssal Demon God were among the final rulers in this sequence. He stormed across innumerable heavens briefly before vanishing as well. After countless ages, the age of heroes finally began—a time when Heavenly Emperors arose, when champions dominated, and this legacy has persisted to the present day!
