Chapter 2101 - 2069: The Truth of the Universe
"Alright alright!!" At this moment, the surrounding forest had been largely restored by Li Chen. Seeing Li Chen’s look of wanting to leave, Little Cang helplessly shook his head.
"Since you are so eager to know, I’ll tell you. But after I tell you, don’t blame me for putting pressure on you," Little Cang said.
"Go ahead," Li Chen just smiled, having seen all kinds of situations before.
Having died once, why fear pressure?
As Li Chen himself said, he was already extremely impatient and no longer wanted to ceaselessly explore the outside world.
At the very least, give him a goal.
Let him know where his mission and destination truly lie.
"You should know that the place we live in is the entire Starry Universe, right?" Little Cang said calmly, "In this Era of the Starry Universe, a total of Seven Great Realms, also known as our Seven Realms, came into existence. Besides these Seven Great Realms, there are many marginal Planets of Life and Starfields. These need not be mentioned much; aside from a few powerful civilizations, the others pose almost no threat to our Seven Great Realms."
Li Chen nodded. Not only did he know about the original Seven Great Realms, but he also knew about the current Four Realms formed after the collapse of the Seven Great Realms and the countless Low-Level Planes under the Four Realms.
"But, do you know how many civilizations existed before our Seven Realms civilization?" Little Cang said, unable to help but sigh.
"Before the Seven Realms civilization?" Li Chen was taken aback, "Weren’t the Seven Realms the earliest civilization?"
Little Cang nodded and replied, "The Seven Realms are indeed the earliest civilization of this Era. However, in the last Era and the one before that, did their civilizations really completely disappear with the End of the Era?"
Hearing this question, Li Chen couldn’t help but fall into silence.
This is a profound historical question.
Was the Seven Realms era powerful?
In each of the Seven Great Realms, there exists a Master of the Heavenly Dao; the Supreme Asura Realm is the highest among the Seven Realms, with an overwhelming existence like the Supreme presiding over its Heavenly Dao.
Even against the World-Destroying Beast, the Supreme could withstand it and seal it in the Starry Universe’s corner.
However, this is just within this Era.
Were there no such powerful beings born in other Eras?
"Nothing is immortal; no matter how powerful an existence or invincible civilization is, it is the same. The End of the Era is unavoidable." Little Cang said softly, "Even if one avoids the End once, even if one kills the World-Destroying Beast, countless years later, new catastrophic endings will emerge. In short, no matter how powerful an existence, eventually, all that awaits is fading into dust and ashes."
"But how many powerful civilizations existed before the Seven Realms, how many powerful beings there were? No one knows. Did they truly vanish completely after the End of the Era?" Little Cang sighed softly, "Previously, our master also talked about this topic with us, but back then, I did not listen carefully. I did not think there would be any remnants of civilization, but later realized I was wrong, we were all wrong."
"Those civilizations did not perish; they survived!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a shock in his Mind Spirit.
Era and Epoch are entirely different definitions.
If an Era refers to a long span of years, whereas an Epoch represents countless Eras!
From the rebirth of the Starry Universe to its Annihilation as an end, this could be called an Epoch!
But Little Cang’s implication was that even after the Starry Universe’s destruction, those civilizations from previous Eras still exist?
How did they survive? Where do they reside, and how strong are they?
"Among those Epoch civilizations, there are some top-level Supreme Powerhouses, even beings comparable to the ancient Supreme, still existing! Their civilizations survived through the collective efforts of countless powerhouses. They are not within the Starry Universe; they opened up new worlds outside of the Starry Universe," Little Cang explained.
"Creating new worlds?" Li Chen’s mind was in shock, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Do they have a creator among them?"
"I don’t know if a creator truly exists in the world," Little Cang shook his head, "But none of them is a creator. The worlds they opened up, while vast and unimaginable to us, are still small compared to the Starry Universe."
"Moreover, in such worlds created by powerhouses, people still need to cultivate. The more cultivators there are, the larger the energy consumption. This massive consumption cannot compare to the Complete Universe like the Starry Universe, which can regenerate endlessly, so these worlds can only exist parasitically next to the Starry Universe, relying on the scattered energy of the Starry Universe to sustain themselves."
"To put it simply, if the Starry Universe is the Main World, then these remnants of civilizations are parasitic minor worlds beside the Starry Universe. Note, not coexisting, but parasitic!"
Li Chen, upon hearing this, couldn’t help shaking his head, "Are these civilizations also enemies?"
"Enemies?" Little Cang sneered, "Mortal enemies!"
"The End of the Era means the temporary disappearance of the Starry Universe. Their worlds, without the support of the Starry Universe, can only devour themselves. Under such circumstances, they have to store enough provisions for the winter like beasts in the forest. Then you think, from where should these ’provisions’ come?" Little Cang’s usually lazy voice revealed a passionate hatred for the first time.
"Did these civilizations make a move in the Seven Realms battle?" Li Chen fell silent for a moment, understanding dawned in his mind.
Yet the moment he grasped the reality, he couldn’t help but feel weighed down in his heart.
"If it wasn’t for those bastards, the Supreme wouldn’t have perished after sealing the World-Destroying Beast!" Little Cang laughed bitterly, "The Supreme was the only Peak Heaven-Shrouding Realm powerhouse in our Seven Realms, someone who could already create a cosmos. If it wasn’t for those bastards intervening, after sealing the World-Destroying Beast, we would have had sufficient preparation time. But with the Supreme’s fall, everything ended."
"They probably don’t want another civilization like theirs to share the Starry Universe’s feast. To them, rather than sharing, it’s better to exterminate early," Li Chen’s statement was harsh, but undeniably, this could very well be the truth.
"The Supreme is different from those who struggle on their last breath," Little Cang shook his head forcefully, "The Supreme also foresaw the approaching End of the Era, but instead of focusing on creating a world, he was studying the Realm, just one last step, just one last step and the Supreme could cross into the Palm Realm!"
"Is the creator beyond the Palm Realm?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.
"No idea," Little Cang shook his head, "I don’t know what grade a creator belongs to, but the Supreme mentioned that as long as he could break through the last obstacle of the Palm Realm, he would definitely be able to open a new Universe akin to the Starry Universe."
Li Chen quietly absorbed this information.
It must be said, Little Cang was right; this information indeed shocked him.
Beyond the shock was the weight of pressure, like two heavy mountains, pressing down on his shoulders.
Because, he was someone favored by the Supreme.
(The worldview has finally been clarified)
