Chapter 2257: The Beginning and End of the Great World
Spiritual perception - Lin Moyu made note of these two words.
From ancient times to the present, humans have experienced many great calamities, and much information has been lost.
The existence of the four divine beasts like the Vermilion Bird can indeed bring back a lot of information from ancient times.
Black Tortoise flew back. Its shell was covered in wounds, but fortunately it was hard enough to withstand the damage.
The Azure Dragon was indeed powerful. Just its killing domain while asleep was enough to block most Supremes.
The Vermilion Birdâs nirvana, the White Tigerâs fierce winds, the Azure Dragonâs domain - thatâs why the Black Blood Great World ultimately chose the Black Tortoise.
Only the Black Tortoise was the easiest to approach, but unfortunately their plan still ended in failure.
Black Tortoise asked, "How did it go, was it successful?"
Vermilion Bird nodded, "It was successful."
Black Tortoise grunted, "Thatâs good. If it didnât work I would have tried again."
The Azure Dragonâs soul was becoming more active, its soul aura starting to spread out. At this point, everyone could sense it.
After waiting a while longer, the Azure Dragonâs body suddenly moved.
Its body, a hundred million meters long, suddenly stretched out straight into a line, as if stretching lazily, before curling up again.
The Azure Dragon was very quiet, not making a sound as it turned its head to look at the Vermilion Bird and the others.
It retracted its domain, and its huge body flickered in the starry sky, instantly appearing in front of the group.
At this point it had shrunk from 100,000 meters to just 10 meters, about the same size as the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger.
"How are you all awake?" The Azure Dragonâs voice was crisp, even sounding somewhat pleasant.
Lin Moyu could sense that the aura on the Azure Dragonâs body was still somewhat weak. Its injuries didnât seem to have fully healed yet.
After a hundred thousand years, its injuries still hadnât recovered. One can imagine how severe the Azure Dragonâs injuries were back then.
Vermilion Bird said, "Something happened with the great world, so we woke up."
Azure Dragon asked, "What happened? I can sense that the great worldâs origin seems very weak, the situation is very bad."
White Tiger looked at Lin Moyu, "Now can you explain in detail? The more detailed the better."
Lin Moyu nodded and recounted everything that had happened after the ancient great war.
He spoke for a long time, and the four origin divine beasts listened quietly.
Sometimes White Tiger wanted to interject, but was stopped by Vermilion Birdâs gaze.
As Lin Moyu narrated, the auras of the four divine beasts kept fluctuating.
Especially when he talked about what happened 10,000 years ago when humans nearly went extinct, killing intent surged from them.
Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Azure Dragon were all deep in thought. Only White Tiger kept looking around, not knowing what it was thinking.
Azure Dragon slowly opened its eyes, "I never imagined humans would face such great calamities. It really wasnât easy."
"However, I donât understand why the great worldâs origin has reached this state now."
White Tiger said, "If you canât figure it out then donât think about it. You may have been pretending to think just now, but I know very well that with your brain, you canât think of anything."
Azure Dragon looked at it silently, "Itching for a beating?"
White Tiger raised its head, "The truth hurts the most. Although you donât like hearing it, what I said is all true."
Azure Dragon snorted, its tail suddenly lashing out and sending White Tiger flying out of sight with a bang.
"You know it but still say it. Your brain must be sick!" Azure Dragon said disdainfully, with a hint of tsundere.
White Tiger quickly flew back. It wasnât injured; Azure Dragon had held back.
Azure Dragon warned, "If you keep spouting nonsense, next time Iâll hit you so hard you wonât be able to come back."
White Tiger snorted, "I am unyielding in the face of violence. If you think you can deal with me through violence, forget it."
"Alright, stop arguing." Vermilion Bird suddenly spoke up, having finished its contemplation.
Black Tortoise had also stopped thinking at this point and slowly said, "I think I understand the general situation now."
"After the Black Blood Frenzy, the four of us fell into slumber. The great worldâs origin was damaged and difficult to recover."
"Those Heavenly Sovereigns went to the boundary sea, knowing that in their lifetimes, the great world would not collide with another world again."
"The Black Blood Great Worldâs origin couldnât be absorbed, and they couldnât obtain origin from other worlds, so the great worldâs origin couldnât recover. They also couldnât advance to become Dao Sovereigns."
Vermilion Bird added, "Originally those Heavenly Sovereigns were still hoping to defeat the Black Blood Great World, and like before, seize the Black Blood Great Worldâs origin to make the great world ascend again, paving the way for them to become Dao Sovereigns."
"No one expected the Black Blood Great Worldâs origin to be so special that it couldnât be absorbed at all."
"Not only could it not be absorbed, it even caused severe damage to the great worldâs origin."
"All the Heavenly Sovereignsâ calculations and schemes ended in failure."
"How laughable, how laughable indeed!"
Lin Moyuâs heart skipped a beat as he listened, and he blurted out, "Could it be that the great worldâs encounter with the Black Blood Great World wasnât a coincidence?"
Black Tortoise chuckled, "How could there be so many coincidences?"
"After learning that the great world couldnât recover and they couldnât advance to become Dao Sovereigns, those Heavenly Sovereigns left."
"Their departure took away part of the great worldâs origin, adding injury to injury for the great world."
"Once they left, the great world began to decline."
"In the great war, all the divine paths were severed. It became difficult for Supremes to appear in the great world, let alone Heavenly Sovereigns. There was also no one who could repair the great world."
Black Tortoiseâs voice grew colder, and Lin Moyuâs heart grew more alarmed as he listened.
The secrets of the great world were finally revealed. The great worldâs current state was inextricably linked to those Heavenly Sovereigns.
...Please vote...
It was the Heavenly Sovereigns who altered the great worldâs trajectory, deliberately causing a collision with the Black Blood Great World.
The Heavenly Sovereigns wanted to use the Black Blood Great World to make the great world ascend, paving the way for them to become Dao Sovereigns.
Unfortunately, they miscalculated. Not only did they ruin the great worldâs chance to ascend, but they also cut off their own path to becoming Dao Sovereigns.
Knowing they could only wait for death in the great world, these Heavenly Sovereigns left, and even took away some of the already insufficient origin of the great world.
This made the great worldâs situation even worse. From then on, the great world began to decline.
The territory continued to expand, but resources could no longer regenerate. Its power grew weaker and weaker, and collapse was only a matter of time.
Only the four battlegrounds, due to the presence of the four origin divine beasts, still had new resources being born.
Everything developed in the worst possible direction, eventually reaching a point of no return.
"The great worldâs current state, besides the many karmic causes, was partly brought about by those Heavenly Sovereigns."
"Those Heavenly Sovereigns, as people of the great world, ended up abandoning the great world. How laughable."
Lin Moyu spoke softly, his tone full of mockery.
Vermilion Bird said, "Actually, we canât blame them. At the Heavenly Sovereign level, with nowhere to advance, that feeling is understandable."
"A Heavenly Sovereign once told me that for beings at their level, having no way to advance is an incredibly terrifying despair."
"So they would try everything possible to gain a chance to advance. As for this world, they had attachments to it too, but compared to advancing, the world was something they could abandon."
Black Tortoise also added, "Itâs not that the world can be abandoned. For the sake of advancing, thereâs nothing that canât be abandoned."
"There was also a Heavenly Sovereign who said that if they could become Dao Sovereigns, they would come back to save the great world."
Lin Moyu said disdainfully, "After leaving the great world, can they still advance to become Dao Sovereigns?"
"They can," Azure Dragon suddenly spoke up, giving Lin Moyu a definitive answer.
Black Tortoise also said, "Indeed they can, itâs just much more difficult. Compared to staying in the great world, the difficulty is much higher."
"With the great world completely hopeless, they had no choice but to leave."
Vermilion Bird looked at Lin Moyu, "Do you hate them?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "I donât hate them. I have no right to hate them. Because Iâm not a Heavenly Sovereign, I canât understand their despair."
"I also donât know if I reach the Heavenly Sovereign level, whether I would make the same choice as them."
"I wouldnât now, but what about in 100,000 years or 200,000 years? Faced with death, would my thoughts change? I really donât know!"
Lin Moyu was speaking the truth. Time can change many things. No one can guarantee that their future self will have the same thoughts as their present self.
