Just then, the Second Ancestor suddenly looked at Yuan Zhexian, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
Then, the Second Ancestor spoke again, saying, "I think you should understand by now that the Lord of Destiny is the creator of the Heavenly Palace of Destiny, while the Lord of Time and Space and the Lord of Origin are the creators of the Primordial Palace."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian was suddenly jolted, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
He stared wide-eyed at the Second Ancestor, his face filled with astonishment, speechless for a moment.
After a long while, Yuan Zhexian finally came to his senses. He muttered to himself, "I never imagined that there were such terrifying figures behind the Heavenly Fate Immortal Palace and the Innate Palace."
Immediately afterwards, the Second Ancestor's voice rang out again.
"But with a world-destroying war, the primordial chaos shattered."
"Among them, the three supreme beings—the Lord of Origin, the Lord of Chaos, and the Lord of Reincarnation—perished completely in this brutal battle."
"Their demise is an outcome that no force in the universe can bring them back to life or reverse."
"After the Lord of Origin fell, his supreme power was like a seed of the universe, which quickly evolved into the origin of heaven and earth, and at the same time gave birth to the eight original races in the Immortal Realm."
"The Chaos Dao Origin, which was transformed from the Lord of Chaos, merged with the shattered Primordial Era, forming a completely new era—the Chaos Era."
"This era is filled with the power of chaos. Everything is in a state of primordial chaos, and many powerful individuals have emerged from it."
"And your Chaos Immortal Body is derived from the power of the Lord of Chaos."
"As for the Lord of Reincarnation, after his fall, his power did not disappear, but returned to the Dao, eventually evolving into the Dao of Reincarnation in the Immortal Realm after the Chaos Era."
The Second Patriarch's words resounded like thunder in Yuan Zhexian's ears.
He finally understood how the so-called celestial bodies and imperial bodies evolved, and how such a huge secret and history were hidden behind these physical constitutions.
However, the Second Ancestor's narration did not end there. His voice continued to echo in the void: "And that great war in the primordial era almost destroyed seventy or eighty percent of all living beings. They all perished in this catastrophe."
"Because those creatures were the earliest creatures of the origin era, they contain the purest and most powerful primordial power."
"Once someone obtains the essence of these beings, it's like opening a door to boundless power, allowing them to acquire all their power in a very short time."
"So when those powerful figures of the Chaos Era learned of such a way to quickly gain power..."
"Their understanding and pursuit of the Tao have been shaken, and this has even reflected a resistance to the rules."
"After all, if there were such an easy way to obtain great power, who would be willing to spend a long time cultivating?"
"This move will trigger a series of chain reactions, plunging the whole world into chaos."
"The living beings fought each other for the supreme origin of the Dao, and this chaos directly led to the disappearance and extinction of nearly 90% of the living beings."
"And all of this was exactly what 'he' wanted. 'He' had been waiting for such an opportunity, so that when the world was in chaos and on the verge of destruction, 'he' could regain control of everything."
"This is a situation that no one wants to see, as it would lead to the complete destruction of the entire universe."
"In order to prevent this tragedy from happening, those people decided to join forces and use the Primordial Treasure as the foundation."
"The remains of those fallen innate holy spirits and other innate beings were sealed in a mysterious place—the Burial Ground."
"It also drove him out of the world we live in."
"At the same time, relying on the power of the Primordial Treasure, the divine power of the Great Dao—the power of cause and effect—is unleashed."
"Anyone who dares to mention the origin of the universe will suffer endless karmic consequences, ultimately leading to eternal annihilation."
"Of course, our clan and the You clan are exceptions."
"For certain special reasons, we are free to talk about the origin of the universe without being punished by the forces of causality."
“Even the two progenitors of the Qilin clan were figures from the Chaos Era.”
"To be precise, they were born at the end of the chaotic era."
"Although they were just two eggs at the time, and they hadn't hatched yet, they witnessed it all."
"However, even those who witnessed that era never spoke of it because of the terrible consequences of the power of cause and effect."
"As for the other Immortal Emperors, most of them were born only after the fall of the Emperors, so their understanding of the Origin Era is negligible."
"This is why the Burial Grounds are the final resting place of a forbidden era."
Yuan Zhexian finally realized that before the era of the Emperor's Demise, there was such an era full of taboos.
He also understood why, when he inquired about the origin era, those people all changed their expressions drastically, dared not speak, and did not even dare to speculate.
The doubts in Yuan Zhexian's heart were not completely resolved, and he immediately asked, "Second Ancestor, what is the connection between these matters and the major events in the Immortal Realm?"
He desperately wanted to know what the connection was between this buried, forbidden era and the major events currently facing the immortal realm.
The Second Ancestor's expression grew increasingly grave. He slowly replied, "This major event in the Immortal Realm is closely related to the Burial Ground and the Lord of Time and Space!"
These words struck Yuan Zhexian like a thunderbolt, leaving him utterly astonished.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. He frowned deeply, seemingly realizing the seriousness of the matter, and said, "Could it be..."
Upon seeing this, the Second Patriarch quickly nodded, indicating his agreement with Yuan Zhexian's guess.
Then, the Second Ancestor continued, "Only now have we finally uncovered the conspiracy and plans of the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Palace and the Primordial Palace that have been going on for countless years."
His tone was serious and heavy, as if the secret had been hidden very deep and had only been discovered over a long period of time.
The Second Ancestor paused for a moment, then continued, "Ever since the Ancient Ancestor returned, he has noticed something unusual."
"The ancient ancestor began to suspect that one of the sealed Lord of Fate and Lord of Time and Space had successfully escaped the seal."
Yuan Zhexian listened quietly, his unease growing stronger.
The Second Ancestor continued, "During the time you were undergoing training, the Ancient Ancestor's conjecture was confirmed."
"The one who escaped is none other than the Lord of Time and Space!"
Yuan Zhexian stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment.
The Second Ancestor explained, "To be precise, it should be one of the spiritual bodies of the Lord of Time and Space."
"The Lord of Time and Space controls the two ultimate principles of time and space, possessing unparalleled power."
"He can split into two spiritual bodies, one for time and one for space, each possessing incomparably powerful and terrifying strength."
"Back then, when the Lord of Time and Space was seriously injured and about to be sealed, he must have decisively separated a spatial spirit body and used its unique ability to escape the seal."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian frowned even more deeply, realizing that this spatial spirit body of the Lord of Time and Space might bring a great disaster to the Immortal Realm.
