Chapter 596 The Myth of Time (asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

The meteorite rotated slowly, attracting dust from all directions, gathering the dust into soil, and solidifying into rock. At first, it was an irregular polyhedron shape, but with the passage of time and the polishing of gravity, it became round, and its diameter continued to expand from a few feet to more than a thousand feet after half a year.

New asteroids are born.

On this day, the surface of the asteroid cracked, and magma gushed out, turning into red flames that enveloped the asteroid, making it look like a blazing copper furnace.

The rock texture on the surface of the copper furnace, under the magic of nature, tells the myth of time.

In the beginning, everything was empty.

In the absolute "nothingness" without any concept, there are countless pure white stars. One of the pure white stars exploded at a certain moment. From "nothing" to "something", various concepts and rules came into being in the expansion of space.

Then, all the paths began to ring.

Starting from the pure white stars, in the process of accelerated expansion of "time and space", the emergence of matter gave birth to countless stars. And in the highest place beyond the material dimension, the rules of the universe's operation override all the stars.
In the middle of the road, there is a giant spirit sleeping.

Then, thousands of horses galloped.

For unknown reasons and at unknown times, perhaps in ancient times or even more distant times, the giant spirits in the avenue suddenly became tired of the existing pattern.

They fought against each other, and wars broke out everywhere. During this period, many powerful creatures born from the stars took turns to appear on the stage, rising like dragons and phoenixes.

In the never-ending war, there is a headless demon god who stands tall and upright, holding a giant axe to create the world; there is a golden-robed emperor with three suns hanging from his head and the sun and the moon in the sky, riding dragons and controlling phoenixes; there is a dragon holding a candle, who sees day as day and sleeps as night, blows as winter and breathes as summer; there is a nine-tailed tiger with a human head and carrying mountains on its back... and many more giants participated in this war.

After a long time, the war ended, countless giants fell, were buried in the starry sky, and turned into dust. Only the four giants, the Golden Robe Emperor, the Headless Demon God, the Dragon Holding the Candle, and the Nine-tailed Tiger, a total of 36 giants survived. They returned to the Great Dao, and the heaven and earth crowned the Golden Robe Emperor as king and built 49 magnificent Dao palaces.

The giants entered the Taoist Palace and became the masters of heaven and earth. There were still 13 Taoist Palaces without owners. The golden-robed emperor gave the two most important ones to a red dragon and a colorful phoenix who accompanied him in conquering the universe and riding the divine chariot. The remaining 11 were divided among the other surviving star giants. From then on, the world was settled.

In the end, everything is in order.

After the eternal war, the masters of the 49 Taoist palaces rebuilt their power in the ruined universe.

The Nine-tailed Tiger gathered 180 trillion stars and built a continent with supreme magical powers at the place where the pure white stars exploded, in a place called "Tianyuan" by the giants. He folded the places where the giants fell with space, and turned them into countless "realm tombs". The folded space dimensions became an endless ruin of nothingness, which became a sea that separated the realm tombs.

After the Tianyuan Continent was formed, it used its powerful gravity to capture stars over endless years, forming a new continent under the continent. The giants called this barren land "the Great Wilderness".

The golden-robed emperor captured ninety-nine thousand stars and created nine super suns in the vast sky.

Nine suns hanging in the sky!

This represents the nine most supreme positions among the 49 Taoist palaces, headed by the emperor.

After several eras of change, a new cosmic structure took shape in the ancient times.

It is called the Divine Court!
And that vast starry sky, where a war had broken out and lasted for several epochs and which had the potential to give birth to powerful creatures among the stars, has never given birth to any new powerful creatures since the appearance of the Divine Court.

Some call it,
Lost place.

……

Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes in the core of the asteroid, surrounded by red flames, followed by wind and thunder. The friction between his majestic physical blood and vast spiritual power generated blue lightning in the void, which turned into a cloak.

Inside the body, trillions of cells seem to roar like endless stars, gathering strands of strange energy into the meridians through the flesh and blood, flowing into a galaxy.

He drilled out of the copper furnace of flames condensed by the asteroid and casually punched the void above. The strange energy actually distorted the void in front of him, forming a dark and deep vortex that swallowed up the light.

Lu Chenzhou felt something in his heart and stepped into the vortex. The vortex slowly dissipated, leaving only the boundless void.

Passing through the kaleidoscopically gorgeous passage, it seemed like a blink of an eye, and also like billions of years. When Lu Chenzhou appeared again, a familiar light appeared in front of him.

"sun……"

It took him fifteen years to travel the interstellar space by Aurora Palace, but now he can reach the destination in one step.

"Even the mighty ones can't do it. It's not that I'm fast, but that my compatibility with the starry sky has improved, making this place my home. I can go wherever I want without any obstacles."

Lu Chenzhou looked towards the martial arts tree.

[Chaos: Level 83 (%)]

"Wow, the World Dao has increased by 30% at once. After the fifth level, even if you refine the Void Dao Monument, it will only increase by less than 10%. The biggest benefit from the birth of this internal strength is the World Dao."

Immediately, he looked back.

[Chaos Hole: Level 3 (%)] "After absorbing a portion of the demon saint's soul, the spiral has reached the fifth level. It is more appropriate to change the name of the spiral to Chaos Hole. Chaos is the opposite of chaos. Chaos is the beginning of creation, and Chaos Hole is the end of the end. The two are the positive and negative sides of the world and even the universe. What connects Chaos and Chaos Hole is the prosperity and decline of the universe."

[Withered and Flourishing: Level 52 (%)]

"My Dao of withering and flourishing has also been improved by one third. Creating a method is so much fun. One kind of internal energy has allowed me to improve three Daos at the same time."

Lu Chenzhou raised his hand, and a strange energy as black as ink, emitting a hint of blue light and countless tiny points of light, flowed through his fingertips, as if he had casually pulled out a galaxy full of stars.

He called it [Universe True Energy].

How big is the universe?
Ordinary people don't dare to name it this.

But it's not that he's arrogant.

This time, during the process of achieving enlightenment and becoming one with the will of the Xia Realm, he vaguely saw the history of the creation of this universe. He learned that the Divine Court, the Three Thousand Worlds, the Great Wilderness... were actually all born in the starry sky of the Xia Realm. The Xia Realm is the essence of the universe!

In the distant past, the Great Dao gave birth to many more gods than just the 49 gods in the Divine Court.

Powerful true spirits such as dragons and phoenixes were originally special life forms conceived and born in the stars.

That was the savage era of eternal and prehistoric mythology, when the gods of the Dao and the giants of the stars fought endlessly in the starry sky, and the heroes vied for the 49 Dao Palaces that towered over the Dao.

Countless gods and demons fell, and the stars withered.

There are only 49 people who can enter the Taoist Palace, and 36 of them are spirits of the Great Dao, that is, the gods of the Great Wilderness.

Lu Chenzhou learned many secrets of the Great Wilderness from his senior brother, many of which overlapped with the scenes evolved by the will of the Xia Realm, confirming each other.

“So that’s how it is. The Nine Suns of the Great Wilderness are the nine great gods… The Star Lord of Sun, the Golden Crow Emperor, is the Lord of the Divine Court. He controls the sun, creation and many other innate laws. The Star Lord of Punishment, the Demon Lord Gan Qi, is the most powerful general in the Divine Court. He controls war, order, destruction, criminal law, etc. The Star Lord of the Universe, Zhu Jiuyin, controls the history books of the years and lives in Zhongshan on the long river of time. The Star Lord of the Sky, Luwu, controls space and mountains and lives in Tianyuan, the starting point of endless space. The Star Lord of Life, Chiji, controls fate and is the ancestor of the ancient true dragon who was deified. The Star Lord of the Darkness, the Queen Mother of the Underworld, is the ancestor of the ancient sky phoenix who was deified. It is said that this is the wife of the Golden Crow Emperor. She controls the moon, life and death, the six laws, etc. These are the six great gods!”

There are three others that Lu Chenzhou knows less about.

He only knew the names of two of them: [Star God of the Universe·Five Virtues Master] and [Star God of the Universe·Wachang]. As for the Ninth Star God, few people knew his name since ancient times, not even the eldest brother or the ancestor knew it. Although the Great Power was powerful, he was not qualified to know the secrets of the top nine beings in the universe. Many people suspected that the Ninth did not exist.

Among the eight known star gods, Jinwu Emperor is the most powerful and is known as the Emperor of Heaven. He is the common ruler of the Great Wilderness. Ganqi Demon Lord is second. As for the other six, it is difficult to say who is stronger or weaker, after all, they are in charge of different areas.

Lu Chenzhou opened the "Wandering Star Book".

End of the book.

Master Yuanshan left a message.

[There are billions of stars in the universe, why are there only a few that can give birth to star wonders? Although these wonders have instinctive spirituality, they do not have complete will. If the stars are chickens and the wonders are eggs, they are like spirits that have stopped developing before they are fully developed. This starry world that seems to be desolate and where even the civilization of cultivators has not yet been born seems to have another secret.]

“Those strange objects in the stars are most likely the embryonic forms of ancient true spirits born in the stars!”

Lu Chenzhou thought in his heart.

“In the ancient times when the Divine Court was established, apart from some alien species that were promoted to ancient True Spirits through practice, no new True Spirits were born.

The True Spirit Sect, which studied the True Spirit Method and attempted to achieve enlightenment through the True Spirit, also mysteriously perished overnight."

The answer is vague.

"There are only 49 Taoist palaces in the sky. The seats for immortality awarded by the universe are filled one by one. If the birth of true spirits is not curbed, a large number of true spirits will be born among the billions of stars in the sky in the long run, impacting the inherent structure of the Divine Court and pulling the 49 immortals off the altar. Therefore, after the establishment of the Divine Court, true spirits disappeared. Although practitioners rose up, they were only short-lived. In the subsequent history, no new gods were born, and there was no place for them!"

This is Lu Chenzhou’s analysis.

This is just his guess.

No one knows the specific circumstances.

"If the uninvited guests from the stars had not used external force to tear apart the inherent structure of the Divine Court, then in ten thousand years, a million years, or even a billion years, no matter how many times the cultivator civilization has reincarnated, it would have gone from prosperity to decline, just like the historical cycle of the ancient dynasties of Daxia. The essence of the feudal structure will not change."

He repeatedly pondered over what his senior brother had told him: [Life emerges from great destruction].

Now the Divine Court has been destroyed, and the Taoist Palace that he had briefly seen when he entered Taoism is now in ruins.

Does the lack of a deity mean that one can become a god in this era? Are there no more restrictions on practitioners?
Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind: Did these evil gods from the starry land find the universe on their own? Or were they lured here by a force hidden behind the scenes of history?
