CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 403: THE COMING GREAT ERA_2

As for what the Southern Domain would become thereafter?

Without a doubt, it will be exactly the same as now.

Because this is a Noble Family planned by the Longevity True Monarchs, there will be no unexpected changes, especially for Mo Qingyue.

After all, no matter what the Southern Domain becomes, it won’t hinder her from being at the Peak, nor will anything occur that could threaten her.

In her life, the so-called hack, whether she has it or not, makes no difference.

Unless this hack could grant her a Golden Nature without any consequences!

Yet, this thing called Golden Nature, unless cultivated by oneself, its very existence is a future calamity, also the root of chaos!

At present.

With Chen Zhixing ascending to the Peak, he is indeed gradually becoming part of this class.

Even if his elder Chen Tianyuan went missing, not knowing which world he went to enjoy himself, it makes no difference to him.

In the absence of action from the Three Great Sacred Lands, Chen Zhixing essentially has no so-called enemies, resources needed for cultivation can be exchanged, any troubles encountered can be negotiated through words. And even if Chen Zhixing is willing, all Three Great Sacred Lands within the Daluo Taoist Lands are very willing to bring him into their fold.

Of course, such a rule is not absolute!

There exists conflicts within the sects, but such conflicts are not life and death, rather they are based on the determination of the distribution of profits.

Just like years ago when a Longevity Realm Profound Turtle chose to invade the Northern Domain, even if the Longevity True Monarchs of the Three Great Sacred Lands joined forces against it, the outcome for both sides was still within a controllable range. This is typically a war born from profit, a catastrophe for lower-level cultivators, a bone-breaking calamity for middle-level Noble Families, while at the upper level... everyone just redistributes the cake, and by the way, take the opportunity to weaken the lower and middle levels.

There is another situation, one that truly demands serious attention from the Three Great Sacred Lands!

Which is what the Profound Celestial Realm is facing now.

Descent!

Two worlds mutually attract each other, no one knows each other’s condition, whether communication can be conducted, nor whether the communication results will satisfy both parties.

This is a situation even the Longevity True Monarchs are unwilling to face.

It’s unavoidable.

Between these worlds, only after a thousand or even ten thousand years, due to the attraction between planes in the infinite cosmos, they occasionally meet once, and after contact, both sides engage in a once-off bargain. Even if both sides’ upper echelons have reached a so-called peace agreement, when the Descent is about to end, chaos is inevitable!

Think about it.

If an alien descends upon Earth piloting a spaceship, and the body of these aliens becomes a food that extends lifespan and grants superpowers to humans, would you believe the two parties could coexist peacefully?

Chen Zhixing thinks not.

In fact, in the cosmos, worlds like the Profound Celestial Realm, rich in resources, are essentially ’elixirs of immortality’ to some impoverished worlds.

It’s unavoidable.

Even though the cultivators in the Profound Celestial Realm will fight due to resource reasons, generally speaking, even if the number of cultivators in the Profound Celestial Realm doubles, it won’t impact the world’s main body much.

But the situation in other worlds is different.

According to the records of the Three Great Sacred Lands, the world encountered during the last descent was an extremely impoverished world, which had three Longevity True Monarchs, nine Peak Realm strong ones, twenty-seven Nirvana Realm beings, eighty-one True Self Realm beings... with a population of ordinary people reaching as much as sixty billion!!!

Clearly, there is a sufficient population, enough resources, and even ample talent and Cultivation Techniques!

But because of insufficient resources and lack of Spiritual Qi, they dared not nurture more cultivators!

Furthermore, records within the Celestial Saint Palace state that the three Longevity True Monarchs of that world, to ensure their world’s Spirit Veins do not completely dry up, could not cultivate regularly, averaging only one breath of Spiritual Qi every three years, with the three Longevity True Monarchs taking turns, otherwise, there was a risk of draining all Spiritual Qi from the world.

What would happen when such a world encounters a world like the Profound Celestial Realm?

The answer is not hard to guess.

Language is not shared, races differ, and social systems cannot be understood!

Even if at first due to the Profound Celestial Realm’s strength, the other side suppressed their greed temporarily, using trade to exchange for some resources.

But by the final stage of the descent.

The people of that world began flooding into the Profound Celestial Realm!

The top existences would grab resources on sight, pillaging with everything they had, returning to their own world after plundering the Profound Celestial Realm.

Lower-level cultivators, even some civilians sneaking in amidst the chaos, would cling to the Profound Celestial Realm single-mindedly and refuse to return to their world!

This situation is what truly breaks people.

Because descent doesn’t mean the rules of two great worlds completely open and merge, but the occasional balance of space and time between them, without direct and irreconcilable confrontation.

When the descent ends.

Those otherworld beings who remain in the Profound Celestial Realm, as long as they possess cultivation, all transform into incomprehensible monsters, their mutation irreversible due to incompatible rules with the Profound Celestial Realm, resulting in the sparsely populated state of the Northern Domain as the final consequence!

As for ordinary people.

Their fate is slightly better.

But it’s not much better.

Most undergo deformities and are considered monsters, killed off; a few with minor or no mutations become one of the many humanoid races left in the Northern Domain after its great purge, with the Stone Race as one of its representatives!

You say they are humans, yet grown-up they are quite taller and stronger than regular members of the Human Race.

If you say they are not, after mixing blood and reproducing, these Stone Race members are hardly different from ordinary people in the Profound Celestial Realm.

However, being not originally part of the Profound Celestial Race, they could only curl up in the Northern Domain for life, and even if occasionally someone sets foot out of the Northern Domain, they soon return, as this is due to the tacit suppression from the Three Great Sacred Lands and various Noble Families towards these alien races.

Not our race, their hearts must differ!

Such truths hold in any world.

Even more so.

It’s the entire Julu Continent!

That place is forbidden.

The entire Great State is an outcome of the descent, a synonym for danger in the Profound Celestial Realm, a place of monstrous creation, a place where even someone as strong as Chen Zhixing of the Peak Realm is unwilling to approach.

The reason for its creation traces back to the previous descent, having encountered a Barbaric Great World on the verge of destruction. This great world, upon descending with the Profound Celestial Realm, recklessly mobilized all it had, moving its entire race to the Profound Celestial Realm, forcibly occupying a state using bloody and violent means, and forcibly twisted the rules of Julu Continent to allow its race to survive forcibly in the Profound Celestial Realm!

That event occurred twelve thousand years ago and was among the important reasons leading to the fall of the Immortal Imperial Court.

The horror it contained is imaginable.

Of course.

Descent isn’t entirely bad.

Other worlds also have their specialties, even impoverished worlds have their cultivation philosophies and items useful to cultivators.

For instance, the ’True Self Realm’ and ’Nirvana Realm’ concepts of Profound Celestial Realm cultivators were derived from ideas from other worlds and thus improved into new cultivation levels.

And the Longevity Soldiers.

The source of this concept originated from the world that once nurtured the Stone Race!

In the era of the Immortal Divine Court, there wasn’t such a thing as Longevity Soldiers in the Profound Celestial Realm, and it was said that the strongest Long Divine Weapon in that world once encountered was even stronger than some Longevity True Monarchs! It gave the Longevity True Monarchs at that time a lot of trouble!

The results brought by descent are both good and bad.

Of course.

This is for the strong.

The stronger you are, the more benefits you gain during descent, as long as one is strong enough, the worst result is a robbery in the other world during descent.

But if one could acquire knowledge or inheritance absent in the Profound Celestial Realm from the other world.

There is naturally hope for achieving the Great Tao and Longevity after returning to the Profound Celestial Realm!

And at present.

The latest descent.

Is about to begin.
