Chapter 701 - 450: A Game Spanning 40,000 Years, The Truth (Part 2)
At this moment, it was as if the private chat between the two of them suddenly turned into a three-person chat room.
"This is the Dark Heaven Immortal Venerable," Immortal Venerable Huihuang said without a trace of displeasure.
"Greetings, Immortal Venerables," Zhong Heng bowed to both Dark Heaven Immortal Venerable and Microdust Immortal Venerable.
Microdust Immortal Venerable is an Ancient Immortal from the same era as the Ancient Celestial Venerable, capable of wielding the Jiuzhou Divine Artifact, the Hongmeng Creation Pearl, with unfathomable strength.
This Dark Heaven Immortal Venerable can create the Reflection World of the entire Jiuzhou, a feat equally astounding.
Among the three, it is actually Immortal Venerable Huihuang, renowned for dragging the stars like the Golden Crow, who has the least credentials and skill.
[After the explanation of Immortal Venerable Huihuang, you gradually learned the ins and outs of the matter.]
Over 36,000 years ago.
A great change happened in Jiuzhou.
Jiuzhou shattered, countless fragments became numerous Fragment Worlds, and even formed a Star River on Jiuzhou.
The earth cracked open, revealing large amounts of the Void Abyss on the surface.
Countless Immortals fell into slumber, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi decreased to a certain extent.
The entire cultivation civilization of Jiuzhou regressed slightly.
The so-called great change was exactly the attack on Jiuzhou by Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
Or perhaps it was... Jiuzhou’s fishing operation.
Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven is also a Great Thousand Worlds,
but compared to Jiuzhou, its foundation is somewhat lacking.
"Apocalypse Rift..."
This is the crux of the matter.
The so-called great calamity of Jiuzhou is essentially the periodic expansion of the Apocalypse Rift.
It is said that the ancient divine artifact God-Demon List, famous since the Ancient Wilderness Era, was created to counter the Apocalypse Rift.
However, unfortunately, it seems to have failed.
The entire Jiuzhou was divided into eras due to the periodic expansion and contraction of the Apocalypse Rift.
The top powerhouses of each era are tasked with suppressing the Apocalypse Rift.
Many Great Saints of the Demon Race from the Ancient Wilderness Era fell because they suppressed the Apocalypse Rift.
"For a Great Thousand Worlds to develop, aside from grinding over time,"
"the fastest way to grow is to annex other Great Thousand Worlds and launch a world war."
"But in the endless void, where is a Great Thousand Worlds easily found?"
"It’s like a dark forest; the worlds that survive in this void all have unique hiding techniques."
But even so,
conquering a world of the same rank remains the best way to make a world grow.
Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven is a peak power Great Thousand Worlds.
In Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven, there are thirty million Lower Realms, Immortals, and figures at the Immortal Emperor Level emerging endlessly.
Currently, they are led by the Central Immortal Emperor, who is ferociously expanding outward.
Jiuzhou originally did not know of this world.
"Apocalypse Rift cannot be destroyed,"
"it can only be suppressed."
"But there is another way."
"And that is to transfer it to another powerful world."
"Let it bear the brunt of the great calamity for Jiuzhou."
Only, for Cultivators, they speak of karma.
Normally, high-level Cultivators wouldn’t recklessly kill the innocent without cause.
Most of the Jiuzhou Immortals also do not want to casually find a scapegoat world.
But there is a good method.
And that is fishing.
Fishing law enforcement.
Jiuzhou deliberately showed signs of weakness and ’accidentally’ let other worlds discover that there was such a Great Thousand Worlds here.
The strength was at a low point, but the world resources were very strong.
When it couldn’t bear it and launched an attack on Jiuzhou.
In that case, no apologies, Jiuzhou naturally needs to launch a defensive counterattack.
Methods include but are not limited to launching counter-offensive wars, sending strong Immortals to disrupt the world order, and packing the Apocalypse Rift to send over.
This approach maintains karma.
Aligning with the mindset of the Jiuzhou Immortals.
Of course, the Jiuzhou Immortals are not saints, and if there are no fish to catch with fishing law enforcement,
the Immortals will not be soft-hearted in randomly seeking a scapegoat.
But for any Great Thousand Worlds eyeing Jiuzhou,
their strength must be considerable.
Jiuzhou needs a scapegoat, but it needs one capable of continuously suppressing the Apocalypse Rift.
"Legend has it, the Apocalypse Rift is a flaw in the entire universe."
"Where it leads is unknown, but it must be a place even more void than the void."
"Apocalypse Rift must be suppressed; otherwise, when it continues to grow, it will devour countless worlds."
The Apocalypse Rift, after all, originated from Jiuzhou.
Jiuzhou has a responsibility for it, and legend has it that the Apocalypse Rift was orchestrated by that Ancient Celestial Venerable.
Once the Apocalypse Rift expands, the living beings of Jiuzhou might perhaps bear an unending Karmic Force.
"Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven is the most suitable target."
"Thirty-six thousand years ago, Jiuzhou deliberately exposed a hint of its aura."
The exposed aura could infer all kinds of situations about the world.
At that time, the Immortals of Jiuzhou all voluntarily went into slumber.
The so-called Immortal Sect they established was the only Immortals visibly present.
War of the worlds doesn’t start recklessly, after all.
Initially, the world channel opened by Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven was minimal.
They couldn’t start a full-scale war.
Only a part of the elite cultivators were sent.
They didn’t start a real war.
Just a local war.
Therefore, in the eyes of many Jiuzhou beings, the great changes of Jiuzhou began.
The un-sleeping Jiuzhou Immortals allied with the forces of Central State to wage war against the strong sent by Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
The war spread throughout the Jiuzhou World.
However, even if Jiuzhou went easy, it was only partial, but it was still a war.
As long as it’s a war, there will be casualties and deaths.
Immortal Venerable Huihuang spoke calmly, but Zhong Heng could still hear some distinct emotions in her words.
Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven indeed was a world on the same tier as Jiuzhou.
As such, in that war, countless powerful figures of Jiuzhou fell.
Even Immortals perished.
"What surprised us most unexpectedly was their World Divine Artifact, the Misty Bell."
"The power it unleashed exceeded the imagination of the Immortals."
"Many fallen Immortals mostly fell under this Misty Bell."
"For example, the Vast Mist you acquired is one of the derivative techniques of the Misty Bell."
"Five Spirits Immortal Venerable also fell here..."
"In fact, the Immortal coffins you saw amidst the rift were those of many Immortals who fell during this period."
However, even so, the sleeping Immortals cannot awaken.
Because that would mean everything failed at the last moment.
Jiuzhou needs Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven to voluntarily open a complete world channel to smoothly send the Apocalypse Rift there.
Originally, everything was under control, yet it was not expected that the opponent would bring out such a divine artifact as the Misty Bell.
However, it’s said that part of the Misty Bell was shattered in that war, permanently staying in Jiuzhou.
Jiuzhou took the opportunity to create more devastations.
Such as those fragments being struck out, actually preparing for the next war.
When Jiuzhou beings attack these Fragment Worlds, their auras will be recorded in the Hongmeng Creation Pearl.
Currently, the numerous cultivation armies active in the Reflection World are records of the auras from the continuous campaigns against the Fragment Worlds by Jiuzhou beings over two thousand years.
At this moment, they are all transformed into vivid life and combat power, to confuse Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
Strong Demon Race figures were defeated by Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven’s powerhouses, and also took the opportunity to self-detonate the Dragon Transformation Pool.
In the intelligence sent back to Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven, the Demon Race was a race alongside the Human Race.
Facing the powerful figures of Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven, they had no choice but to self-detonate their Supreme Treasure.
However, in reality, with the help of the Immortals, the Dragon Transformation Pool can quickly recover, and the Demon Race can also gain a favor from the Immortals.
To continue surviving within Jiuzhou.
Meanwhile, the Void Abyss can also serve as a means for Jiuzhou Cultivators to quickly recover after the age of Fragment Secret Realms.
"With some fragments of the Misty Bell here, and the intelligence previously sent back by the cultivators of Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven."
"Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven will undoubtedly start a world war."
"At that time, whether it ends depends not on the opponent."
Wars between Great Thousand Worlds are not that easy; even if Jiuzhou randomly picks a Great Thousand Worlds, it wouldn’t be as easy as this war.
"The Apocalypse Rift must not remain in Jiuzhou...."
