Chapter 2526: Secular History


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


If the Dragon Lord hadn’t happened to be here, Zhang Ruochen doubted that he would have survived this disaster. Was Wargod Belt enough to stop Asurendra Samay’s true form?


Zhang Ruochen realized that his situation was more dangerous than he had imagined.


“You are the descendant of a grandmaster and Saint Monk’s successor. Your identity is too delicate. The better you perform, the more uneasy some gods in Infernal Court will be. Your situation will only get more dangerous,” Dragon Lord said.

!!

Zhang Ruochen understood that Dragon Lord wanted him to return to Kunlun’s field.


“If you return to Kunlun, I can take you as my disciple and announce your identity to the myriad realms’ gods. You don’t have to tell me your decision now. Everything can wait until you save Lord of Nephilim Island. You will naturally not be criticized if the rescue is successful. You will return in triumph as the hero,” Dragon Lord said.


Obviously, Dragon Lord intended to put all the credit for rescuing Lord of Nephilim Island on him to shut everyone up.


Zhang Ruochen thought profoundly and nodded. He took out Tensho Compass and handed it to the Dragon Lord.


Dragon Lord took Tensho Compass and looked at the Divine Artifact carefully. After a while, he took out a seven-inch-tall five-colored exquisite tower and threw it to Zhang Ruochen.


He said, “Asurendra Samay won’t stop here. His body and Divinity Source have been shattered and he’s not as powerful as he was in the Middle Ages. But, he’s still a TrueGod in the Great Void Realm. Ordinary methods won’t be able to stop him. This tower contains my power. Use it carefully.”


“One of the ten great Divine Artifacts, Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon,” Blackie screamed while his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.


“After saving Lord of Nephilim Island, I’ll take this tower back and return Tensho Compass to you.”


Dragon Lord grabbed Blackie and twisted him away.


“H-help! Someone save me…”


Blackie called for help, but it was useless. Who dared to attack Dragon Lord?


Zhang Ruochen could see that Dragon Lord wasn’t hostile to Blackie, so he didn’t stop him. Besides, it was useless to stop him.


In front of a big shot like Dragon Lord, even a god might not be qualified to speak to him.


Dragon Lord talked so much to Zhang Ruochen because of his identity as the descendant of Saint Monk Xumi and the Immovable Wisdom King. Besides that, Zhang Ruochen proved his talent and temperament.


Zhang Ruochen looked down at the five-colored tower in his hand. Thinking of what Blackie had just shouted, his scalp went numb, and his heart thundered.


The legendary Divine Artifact was just given to him like that?


What if he lost it?


How mighty was Dragon Lord’s power contained in the tower? Could he kill Asurendra Samay?


Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel excited. Instead, he felt a heavy pressure that made it hard for him to breathe. He thought, “Don’t be like this. I’m only a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint. Why would you give such a world-suppressing Divine Artifact to me? I can’t afford to lose it.”


With great power comes great responsibility.


How could a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint bear such a huge responsibility?


The tower contained a portion of Dragon Lord’s power, but could it really be used?


Definitely not!


Before rescuing Lord of Nephilim Island, Dragon Lord couldn’t make a move. His power couldn’t be sensed by the gods of Infernal Court.


Zhang Ruochen could only use it if he really reencountered Asurendra Samay and was forced into a life-and-death situation.


Zhang Ruochen was holding an egg instead of a Divine Artifact. He carefully put it away, afraid it would fall to the ground.


When a Divine Artifact fell to the ground, it was said to be able to smash through a realm.


Why did Tensho Compass and Dragon God’s Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon didn’t seem to hold such powerful energy?



Granny Begonia and Zhang Ruochen were on a cosmic rock.


“Granny, you don’t have to persuade me. Actually, my mother hasn’t told me anything. I’m staying in Infernal Court of my own will,” Zhang Ruochen said.


Granny Begonia looked bitter. “Because of those two children?”


Zhang Ruochen was silent for a long time, “That may be one of the reasons, but… I don’t know either. I just feel that it’s the same everywhere. It’s full of killing, darkness, and deceit. What’s the difference between Kunlun and Infernal Court?”


“The world is like this. It’s always been like this.”


Granny Begonia said, “You’re running away, aren’t you? You don’t dare to face Chi Yao…”


Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to talk about this anymore, “Granny, can you tell me what happened 800 years ago? Where did father go? Why did he let mother wait in Endless Abyss alone for 800 years without showing up? Was he killed?


“Chi Yao said that father was controlled by mother and became her puppet to control Shengming Central Empire and Kunlun. I don’t believe her. I believe you must know what happened that year. Don’t lie to me and tell me the truth, okay?”


Granny Begonia sighed. Her old eyes were full of sorrow, “You have grown up. There are some things that you should know! In fact, no one was wrong. It’s all the fault of the era. It’s all the fault of this world.”


Granny Begonia was a little tired. She sat down and said, “All of this started 100,000 years ago. No, it should have been even earlier. It was 300,000 years ago.


“Do you know what Celestial Court was called before?”


“Saint Realm,” Zhang Ruochen said.


Granny Begonia nodded, “The heaven and earth Saint Qi in Saint Realm is dozens of times richer than Celestial Court now. There are saint veins and divine veins everywhere. Cultivators from all over the world can ascend to Saint Realm to cultivate as long as they become Demi-Saint.


“God knows how many influential people have been born in Saint Realm due to its excellent cultivation environment. Among them, the 20 most powerful ones are called the Twenty Devas.


“The Twenty Devas maintain the order of the universe and intimidate all the races in Infernal Court. The world is peaceful and prosperous. The landscapes were like a painting. There were so many heroes in the same era. It was the most beautiful time for all the cultivators who experienced that period.


“However, 300,000 years ago, a vast change occurred.


“The Twenty Devas went to accomplish something big. Logically speaking, any one of them could sweep across the galaxy and shake the universe with their cultivation bases. If the 20 of them worked together, what else could they not accomplish?


“However, they failed. Only three people came back alive.


“This severely impacted the entire Saint Realm, and even myriad heavens. It represented the end of an era, the end of the ancient era, and the arrival of the Middle Ages period.


“Perhaps it was because of the fall of the Twenty Devas, or perhaps there were other reasons. The various races of Infernal Court began to stir. They were no longer willing to stay in the milky way of styx. In the end, they started a war to destroy the world.”


Zhang Ruochen asked, “The war between Celestial Court and Infernal Court began 300,000 years ago?”


“To be precise, there was no Celestial Court at that time. It was the war between Saint Realm and myriad heavens with Infernal Court. The outbreak of the war represented the beginning of the Middle Ages period.”


Granny Begonia continued, “At the beginning of the war, Infernal Court was actively engaged in the war. Fane of Darkness, Nether Clan, Ghosts, Bone Clan, Stone Clan, and Asura were there. They all wanted to grow in the slaughter and become more robust in the face of death. At that time, Fane of Destiny was still a neutral faction.


“Although Twenty Devas had fallen at that time, Saint Realm and the myriad heavens were still very powerful without a leader. It was difficult for Fane of Darkness and the five clans to gain an advantage in the war. The battle between the two sides also happened locally. It didn’t reach the stage of an all-out war.


“Until the change happened 100,000 years ago.”


Zhang Ruochen was entirely focused. He realized that what she was about to say would probably affect an era. It wasn’t any weaker than the fall of the Twenty Devas.


After all, the Middle Ages period ended 100,000 years ago.


“The great change 100,000 years ago nearly destroyed all the macroworlds in the vast universe. All living things almost died. I still remember that Kunlun turned into a fireball. The sky was filled with divine fire. It burned for three months. If it wasn’t for the Heavenly Lord, Saint Monk, Lord of Nephilim Island, and Dragon Lord fighting with all their might, Kunlun might have been destroyed and turned into dead scorched earth.”


Granny Begonia thought back to the three months of fear and anxiety. The days where her heart was heavy worrying about the world’s destruction every day.


Zhang Ruochen felt shocked and depressed. He asked, “Who did it?”


Granny Begonia shook her head.


“What about three months later?” Zhang Ruochen asked again.


Granny Begonia stared at him. She said heavily, “Saint Realm, the heart of all realms was destroyed! A large number of gods have fallen. Countless saint-level cultivators have died. Fanes have collapsed, sacred mountains and divine veins have been destroyed. Divinity Bestowment Altar in Celestial Domain of Truth is one of the few ruins that has been preserved.”


Zhang Ruochen felt something stuck in his throat. His heart seemed to have shrunk into a ball.


After a long time, he exhaled and said, “Did Infernal Court destroy Saint Realm?”


Granny Begonia shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Maybe Dragon Lord and the others knew the truth, but they didn’t tell anyone. How could Infernal Court destroy Saint Realm, which was so powerful then?


“Some people guessed this catastrophe was a continuation 300,000 years ago. It was caused by the Twenty Devas.”


“If it had something to do with the Twenty Devas, why did they take revenge 200,000 years later?” Zhang Ruochen asked.


Granny Begonia shook her head again and said, “Even the top gods might not know such a secret.”


She continued, “After the catastrophe, the myriad realms of Celestial Court became weaker. They had to work together to resist Infernal Court and deal with the possible unknown strong enemies. Everyone realized they could no longer be like a pile of loose sand. They had to work together to tide over the crisis.


“Driven by the internal and external troubles, Celestial Court was established! Haotian, one of the Twenty Devas that survived in the past, became the Lord of the Celestial Court.


“After the catastrophe, all realms were terrified and tried to increase their strength at all costs.


“Saint Monk, the Heavenly Lord, and Dragon Lord might have known some secrets and were all awakened. They activated Sundial and helped all the cultivators of Kunlun to cultivate together in case they could not fight back when the next catastrophe came.


“It was during this period that a revolution occurred in Infernal Court.


“The chief of Yanluo Clan, who had always been the peacemaker, disappeared in the Abyss of Darkness.


“In Fane of Destiny, Life Reverend and Auspicious Reverend, who had always opposed the war, died mysteriously. Death Reverend and Ominous Reverend, who were in charge of the war, were in power. They also accused Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations and Saint Monk Xumi of Kunlun of killing the two deities.


“Therefore, to lead the ten races to take revenge on the myriad realms of Celestial Court, Fane of Destiny used the excuse that Kunlun wanted to rule the universe and destroy Infernal Court and used the death of the two deities to start the war. The fuse was lit, and an all-out war broke out between the myriad realms of Celestial Court and Infernal Court!”
