"At this time, the Wu Clan rose up and took advantage of the internal strife among the Demon Clan to attack the Heavenly Court... Although the Demon Clan was in chaos, its strength remained strong, so the Wu Clan did not ultimately destroy the Heavenly Court."
"But after this incident, the Heavenly Court, already destabilized by internal strife, could no longer maintain its status and completely fell apart. The Heavenly Court, once so majestic and powerful that towered over all living beings, was reduced to ruins."
"And the fighting between the demon tribe and the witch tribe has continued for countless years."
"Years pass, eras change."
"Following the war between the wizards and the lich, the entire prehistoric land was reduced to ruins, nearly falling apart. Both races' strength also weakened significantly, and they eventually engaged in a fierce battle, slashing the fortunes of both races and supporting the immortals instead. As a result, the two races completely declined, and the immortals truly stepped onto the stage of history."
"Countless immortals and gods intervened to stabilize the world that was on the verge of falling apart, restoring order to the chaotic Three Realms and the Six Paths. They also rebuilt the Heavenly Palace on the ruins of the original Heavenly Palace."
"But at this moment, the Demon King returned..."
The Jade Emperor paused at this point and continued, "In order to restore order, the immortals slew countless rebellious demons and witches. Therefore, with the return of the Demon King, the immortals were terrified, fearing that the Demon King would be dissatisfied and retaliate."
"But strangely, the Demon King didn't care about the demon race's decline. He turned a blind eye and simply told the immortals a shocking news - the world is about to undergo a major change. In the future, everything here will be destroyed and disappear into the dust of history."
"These words are so shocking that even though they were spoken by the Demon King, the immortals did not believe them. After all, all immortals have very long lifespans, and some have even transcended the river of time. Their lifespans are truly infinite, so there is no way they could possibly die."
"The Demon King saw that no one believed him, so he didn't care. He simply took the position of the Lord of the New Heavenly Court, made some arrangements, and then gave the position to me. Then he disappeared again and there has been no news since..."
The Jade Emperor leisurely recounted the story that had been forgotten and almost unknown.
The voice was old and there was reminiscence in the eyes.
"And then?"
Chu Mo listened and asked.
"later……"
The Jade Emperor slowly exhaled and said, "Later, just as the Demon Emperor had predicted, Heaven and Earth suffered a great catastrophe... It was a peaceful time, but suddenly, the laws of Heaven and Earth erupted in chaos. Then the Great Dao lost its order, and all things in the world were thrown into chaos. Ultimately... the Great Dao completely fell, and all the original laws vanished in an instant!"
"Can the Great Dao also fall?"
Chu Mo's wrist trembled, and a wave of fear rose in his heart.
In his cognition, the Great Dao is the origin of everything, the ancestor of all things, and the one that gave birth to everything. But according to what the Jade Emperor said, even the Great Dao has fallen. This is simply unbelievable!
"Yes, who could have imagined, who could have dared to imagine, that the Great Dao would fall?"
The Jade Emperor said, "During the Great Dao's fall, the gods and immortals found themselves unable to communicate with the laws and sense any trace of their existence. Then, a strange blood-red light appeared on the horizon, invading it. At first, it was only a faint dot, but as time went on, the blood-red cloud gradually covered the sky."
"During this period, numerous immortals and gods went to investigate and even to stop it. However, no matter who they were, what realm they were in, or how powerful they were, they all perished in an instant. No one could stop the spread of the blood-red. The immortals and gods could only watch helplessly as the blood-red clouds filled the sky."
"The Three Realms, the Six Paths, the Underworld, the Heavenly Palace... everything is being eroded. The space available for living beings to struggle is becoming smaller and smaller. One by one, immortals and gods have fallen."
The Jade Emperor narrated slowly.
This was clearly an extremely tragic event, but his tone was extremely calm.
Chu Mo looked up at the Jade Emperor, trying to see some emotion in his eyes, but found no emotion at all, as if the story the Jade Emperor told was just something he made up and he had never experienced it himself.
"Perhaps this scene has already appeared in his mind billions of times, which is why he can remain so calm, even indifferent..."
Chu Mo thought secretly.
Then he asked, "What does this have to do with the embers of civilization I saw earlier?"
When Chu Mo saw the past scenes through the imprint of time, an old man burned the ancient mythology's skills and all traces, and said something misguided.
This question has not yet been answered.
"That's what I'm going to say next..."
The Jade Emperor said, "The blood-red cloud eroded the heavens and earth, and the prehistoric world was hit by a catastrophe. The immortals rose up to resist, but found that all their magical powers were ineffective in the face of this blood-red cloud. This is why the immortals were unable to stop the erosion."
"To find out the truth, hundreds of immortals blazed a trail at the cost of their own lives, allowing us to peek into the secrets deep within the blood-red cloud. It wasn't until then that we discovered that the blood-red cloud was actually made up of insects!"
"insect?"
Chu Mo was stunned.
"These bugs seem extremely familiar with us. No... I shouldn't say familiar, but rather, they are immune to our magical powers. No matter how powerful our power is, it has no effect on these bugs, as if they don't exist in reality."
"But only later, after paying a heavy price, did we realize that it wasn't that bugs didn't exist, but that we had been on the wrong path from the very beginning!"
At this point, the Jade Emperor finally lost his previous composure, a trace of pain appearing on his face. He dropped his child, exhaled a long breath, and slowly calmed himself before continuing, "At that time, the cultivation of the immortals focused on refining the inner elixir and developing the inner landscape, and then ascending to heaven. This method was also considered the most superior mainstream cultivation method."
"But the mistake is in the metamorphosis!"
"I abandoned my physical body and rebuilt it. Although I transformed into an immortal body, I was actually already being taken advantage of by those insects..."
Hearing this, Chu Mo suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute... According to what you said, Your Majesty, those insects only invaded later. You had already abandoned your physical bodies and transformed into winged creatures before that. How could they have taken advantage of your situation and invaded?"
Chu Mo was a little confused.
It should be noted that the days when the immortals and gods became enlightened were long ago. Even though insects can parasitize on the flesh, the insects had not yet appeared when those top immortals and gods forged their flesh bodies.
"At first, we didn't understand it, but later we discovered that the cause of this disaster was the inner scene!"
The Jade Emperor said.
"Break through the void and you will see God."
"The so-called inner realm is the spiritual place opened up when the essence, energy and spirit of the human body converge and become strong enough. Here, one can see existences that are not normally visible. It is the true world of consciousness, like the Creator, the God of Creation. It is the highest pursuit of any cultivator."
"But no one knows, or rather, no one cares. It's because the inner world is a spiritual world, capable of fantasy and even involving countless beings, that it attracts the prying eyes of insects!"
"They observed, understood, and integrated into the inner scene through the mirror image... After thoroughly analyzing everything about us, they finally launched the invasion!"
