"The True Saint of Heaven and Earth..."
Murmured the powerful beings of all the Ancestral Witch nations who had set foot beyond the universe.
All showed expressions of incredulity, as if witnessing the descent of Gods and Demons, inducing a fear beyond reason.
What realm is this??
It is a stage that even the terrifyingly ancient civilizations, celebrated for their epoch-spanning myths across countless heavenly bodies, longed to achieve...
They all felt as if their worldviews had been entirely overturned.
Leaving aside the mysterious realm, just this stanza alone:
The vast shifting of Yin and Yang, divine life is like morning dew.
Diving in the star streams, immortality is but the dusk.
This poem is enough to make one feel amidst the universe, facing the grandeur of the cosmos and the insignificance within boundless worlds, overwhelmed by a tremendous fear.
Even the glorious eras of civilizations vanished like smoke in the cosmic transformations of Yin and Yang!
Even the lifespan of gods is fleeting as morning dew!
Immortality, is their end!
"Diving in the star streams, immortality is already the dusk."
Emperor Chu, dazed, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but say: "Immortality is but dusk... Even the ultimate goal we've been pursuing for so long has been effortlessly reached in their eyes, yet their civilization finds no next end..."
"This may be the reason for the destruction of gods in prehistoric times." A historian from the Long Arm Country analyzed excitedly and loudly said: "Your Majesty, the Golden Crow of that time, could have been a source of qi created by an entire civilization."
"Unfortunately, why the Golden Crow rebelled, taking the qi of the entire civilization into chaos, leading to the civilization's destruction." A powerful being from the Giant Skull Kingdom also spoke.
This clan, with heads massive as rocks, possessed wisdom vast as the Abyssal Sea.
At this time, that powerful being from the Giant Skull Kingdom solemnly said: "Then, could the Golden Crow of our world now be a descendant of the ten ancient suns?"
"Then, aren't the Immortal Herbs rooted on them... descendants of those Golden Crow feathers, fallen on the ground and transformed from taking root? To become the source of qi we now have?"
"And that Divine Archer from Long Arm Country, Yi, ancestors also once pursued the Golden Crow with arrows, isn't all this imprinted in our Witch Ancestor's bloodline?"
The more they thought, the more shocked and incredulous they felt.
But, it also made sense and was logical!
Even Emperor Chu felt the same.
For he knew the Witch Ancestor was actually called Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor, a remnant from the Old Days, inheriting ancient Divine Blood, reawakening from the ancient subterranean depths.
And this lineage, reportedly, insisted on walking the path of old, leading to destruction.
And to walk the path once trodden by Ancestral Witches, isn't that the current legacy bloodline?
In other words, this era resembles ancient times in some ways, and this perfectly makes sense.
Soon, they cautiously left the prehistoric relics, protecting them carefully, staying away from this land.
Crash!
When they left, they found the cracks in the world's membrane slowly healing.
"We must go quickly!"
"Our power is exhausted; it's impossible to open it a second time in the short term."
"If we don't leave, we'll be trapped to death outside of heaven."
Each powerful being swiftly retreated, returning to the world.
Soon, each powerful being rode flying beasts, seeing the heavenly membrane crack had completely disappeared, and the stars outside had vanished too, feeling everything that just happened was like a dream, bizarre and surreal.
Sitting on a flying bird, Emperor Chu furrowed his brows, constantly thinking, speaking in a deep voice: "Indeed, after we left the world and saw the many heavens, the old mythological epoch has already revealed a corner to us."
Beside him, his Empress Yun'Er, weighed down with thoughts, pondered and said: "According to this, our world was folded to avoid a great disaster. So with the awakening and expansion before us, it is only natural."
"And based on the mural guess, those ten Golden Crows, fear not, are the crystallization of wisdom of that era's civilization, the source of their civilization's qi... Yet the sun faced a mutation, qi dissipated, so came the Twilight of the Gods.... The current Spiritual Awakening, Cultivators reappearing in the world, these Immortal Herbs, could be the 'feather' descendants."
This hypothesis has solved most of the mysteries.
The source of qi.
The origin of Immortal Herbs.
Why the world is expanding.
A minister recalled standing on the atmospheric membrane of the world, looking at the countless stars, "And now, we don't know how many years have passed, not only have we revived, but some barren other worlds have also ushered in new life."
"Even, we are one of the slowest to revive, these countless stars already contain many seemingly powerful civilizations, deeply terrifying to us."
"At this moment, the world of countless stars is, to small us, also a deathly fearful abyss!"
At this moment, everyone felt that some profound questions were answered, but this also extended more questions with no one to answer them.
For instance, the true face of history.
And the true state of immortality, even the True Saint craved by that civilization.
And how to leave the world...
But these puzzles did not hinder them from formulating a future plan for civilization's development, as it filled them with immense anticipation for the future and a huge sense of urgent crisis.
"First, we must continue to develop."
Emperor Chu said: "The ten suns in suspension is a very good method; the flat-feathered beast I've slain has a group of descendants on the island, we catch ten, plant feathers, making them new Golden Crows like their father, let them fly in cycles, continually radiating qi, so that the townspeople below have Xiaqi to cultivate."
"Your Majesty mustn't, doing so might repeat the catastrophe..." a minister showed panic.
They had witnessed the terror of the end times firsthand.
"What fear? Ultimately, they aren't those terrifying prehistoric behemoths, the bloodline of the flat-feathered beast of our world now is probably very thin, as long as we are cautious, it can't stir up wind and waves."
Chu Tiange said: "I will use chains, bind the ten suns, build a Sun Vehicle, daily drive these flat-feathered beasts to wander in the sky."
He paced back and forth, continuously establishing the future civilization's plan.
"Meanwhile, we can see the blurry scene of worlds outside, they must also be able to see ours... Perhaps they will invade our world, we must establish a defense line to prevent invasion."
"We should begin researching how to leave the space universe methods and establish defense mechanisms, to prevent problems before they arise."
"And, in the sky, the world that is so close at hand to us."
He remembered that vast bubble star world like the moon, "That seems like an abyssal evil, brutal, eerie world, this is our greatest danger, we must be wary of their invasion, and if necessary, we must invade first, probing and observing their world."
