Upon the Cliff of Dao, Candle Dragon halted momentarily after delving into the essence of the World of Eight Desolations. There, it awaited Lu Heng and Jiu Mie, for them to contemplate and assimilate this profound knowledge.
Lu Heng pondered for a moment and continued, "So, are the numerous cultivators in the Celestial Desolation Realm encountering successive incidents and the Earthly Catastrophe related to several other Worlds of Eight Desolations?"
"If the World of Eight Desolations is indeed so formidable, then the only remaining threat to the Celestial Desolation Realm would be the other seven realms, correct? Has the Celestial Desolation Realm engaged in wars with other realms? Is that why the Earthly Catastrophe has occurred?"
Lu Heng's inquiry made Candle Dragon sigh and nod, saying, "Indeed, that is true, but it is even more complex than what you, my dear friend, have stated."
"In the distant past, an era even more ancient than my own birth. A time that predates the active years of the Immortal of Martial Arts, Lian Cangqing, the Emperor Fu Xi, and even the supreme god Nüwa. During that age, the Celestial Desolation Realm's circumstances were not as dire as they are now."
"At that time, there was no Earthly Catastrophe. Although the World of Eight Desolations faced difficulties in mutual interaction, there were still exceptional cultivators occasionally traversing the vast chaotic void, traversing among various realms, engaging in friendships and gatherings, engaging in discussions on the path, and experiencing harmonious joy."
"The World of Eight Desolations during that time knew no war, nor ancestral enmity. It can be called the most idyllic and beautiful ancient era."
"However, the emergence of the Emperor Fu Xi disrupted this equilibrium."
Candle Dragon said, "The Emperor Fu Xi is undoubtedly the most deserving figure in history, and also the most brilliant cultivation genius to emerge in the long ages of the World of Eight Desolations."
"It is rumored that he stepped into the realm of Innate at the age of seventeen and became invincible across various realms before reaching the age of one hundred. The strongest beings in the World of Eight Desolations were no match for even a single finger of his. He truly accomplished the feat of overshadowing an entire era, leaving the various realms astonished."
"It was under his mighty unification that the Celestial Desolation Realm experienced true order for the first time. He established the ancient Heavenly Court, rewarding goodness, punishing evil, and enacting laws to govern cultivation. Furthermore, he discovered the coveted artifact, the Requiem Seal, and single-handedly opened up the netherworld, attempting to establish a cycle of reincarnation for the Celestial Desolation Realm."
"Of course, this idea ultimately perished. It is because the Requiem Seal can only be wielded by those who have truly experienced death, and living beings cannot hold it."
Candle Dragon, as he spoke, smiled at Lu Heng and said, "However, the Emperor's various ideas regarding the construction of the Netherworld have been passed down, and some powerful figures of ancient times have further developed and envisioned them. Interestingly, the blueprint of their order is quite similar to the Netherworld that you, Friend Lu Heng, have independently constructed."
"Indeed, the thoughts of true mighty beings have commonalities… don't they, Friend Lu Heng?" chuckled Candle Dragon, speaking in such a manner.
After listening, Jiu Mie couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and he turned his gaze towards Lu Heng beside him, greatly surprised.
Regarding this, Lu Heng felt a slight embarrassment and an inward bitter smile.
He conjectured that this must be related to what he referred to as the Xuanyuan bloodline.
He came from Earth, where there were various rumors about Fu Xi, Nüwa, the Three Emperors, and the Five Sovereigns, as well as various beliefs about the cycle of reincarnation in the netherworld. However, these mythological elements correspondingly existed in the Celestial Desolation Realm.
Perhaps beings from the Celestial Desolation Realm visited Earth during ancient times and left their footprints, and it is even possible that they settled there, which gave rise to the so-called descendants of the Xuanyuan bloodline.
However, Lu Heng's origin from Earth is something he doesn't wish to disclose at the moment. After all, this matter has far-reaching implications, and it also concerns Sister Yuanjun. Lu Heng can only respond with a bitter smile.
After Candle Dragon made a teasing remark, he didn't delve further into this topic. Instead, he continued, "In any case, under the powerful integration and rule of the Emperor Fu Xi, the Celestial Desolation Realm operates with laws that all billions of beings must adhere to. Evil demons find it difficult to wreak havoc and harm others, while righteousness thrives."
"He calculates the Eight Trigrams, deducing awe-inspiring secret techniques to enlighten all beings, aiming to transform everyone in the Celestial Desolation Realm into extraordinary beings, no longer ordinary."
"Also, he commanded the ancient sage Yu King to cast the Nine Cauldrons, decreeing the division of the Celestial Desolation Realm into nine provinces. The purpose was for the Nine Cauldrons to bear the weight of the land and gather the spiritual energy of the Celestial Desolation Realm, allowing the flourishing vitality of the realm to nourish all beings of heaven and earth."
"Amidst such continuous development, the Celestial Desolation Realm has grown stronger over tens of thousands of years. The number of top cultivators has increased, and their power has completely surpassed several other realms within the World of Eight Desolations, establishing themselves as the true leaders among all realms."
"However, apart from that, the Emperor's cultivation has never lagged behind. While establishing the ancient Heavenly Court to enlighten all beings, he continues to break through the previous realms, his cultivation far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators. His awe-inspiring cultivation throughout eternity makes all beings across realms look up to him in admiration."
"The only one who could barely keep up with the Emperor at that time was the supreme god Nüwa."
"Ultimately, after tens of thousands of years since the establishment of the Heavenly Court in ancient times, the cultivation of the Emperor Fu Xi, who constantly made breakthroughs, unexpectedly reached an uncharted supreme realm that had never been heard of before."
"Although the specific circumstances of that time have vanished into oblivion with several occurrences of the Earthly Catastrophe and the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court, we are unable to ascertain the truth of the past."
"However, within the Earthly Catastrophe, a few legends still persevered and were handed down."
Candle Dragon looked at Lu Heng and Jiu Mie, his expression serious, and said, "Legend has it that it is a transcendent and unfathomable supreme realm. In that realm, everything in the world unfolds clearly before your eyes, with no secrets left."
"Time, space, past, future, everything, all within grasp. It could be said to be an unimaginable power." fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
"But it was precisely after this that an inexplicable calamity arose."
Candle Dragon said, "Unimaginable formidable adversaries have come from beyond the heavens. They are neither beings of the celestial realms, nor inhabitants of the World of Eight Desolations. Throughout history, nobody has ever heard of their existence."
"However, after they descended upon the Celestial Desolation Realm, they unleashed the power of thunder to destroy the ancient Heavenly Court, annihilating numerous primordial deities."
"The Emperor engaged in a fierce battle with them, causing substantial destruction throughout the Celestial Desolation Realm. Countless small worlds were even created amidst the chaos… However, in the end, this great war ended with the unfortunate defeat and demise of the Emperor, who fought against overwhelming odds."
"However, this group of inexplicably powerful beings also suffered from severe and incurable injuries, rendering them powerless to destroy the remaining half of the Celestial Desolation Realm. In order to eliminate the threat, they established dominion over various realms and led several cultivators from the World of Eight Desolations to the Celestial Desolation Realm. They taught these elite cultivators the techniques to harvest the life essence of beings in the Celestial Desolation Realm and eradicate the souls of cultivators."
"The so-called Earthly Catastrophe is the arrival of enemies from beyond the realms, who descend and harvest, annihilating the surviving beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm, when the time is ripe and the inhabitants of the Celestial Desolation Realm thrive once again."
"In such the Earthly Catastrophe, even the Nine Cauldrons of the Yu King, the treasured possession of the Celestial Desolation Realm, was enchanted by the Earth Spirit Realm into a nefarious Magical Tool for harvesting the life essence of beings, to be used against us, the cultivators of the Celestial Desolation Realm."
