The Celestial Thearch felt exhausted. The reason for the unrest within the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool had been identified, but it had also been rectified at the same time.
The culprit behind all this was right here, after all!
The Heavenly Court didn't receive anything useful, but it had to give the Four Nine Immortal Sect a huge pile of spirit stones! What a travesty!
Why did he have to say what he did about a minimum of ten million spirit stones? The Celestial Thearch really wanted to go back in time and give himself a few slaps to the face!
Soon, everyone began to discuss the battle between the snow maidens and the Opposite Shore Realm.
The Celestial Thearch heaved a forlorn sigh."I didn't want to tell you about all this, but seeing as you've already encountered it, I don't really have much choice. Let me tell you about the changes going on in this world."
An Lin suddenly had a feeling that he didn't want to hear this. He had a nagging feeling that learning about something like this would cause him to be swept up into something. Sometimes, knowing too much really was not a good thing.
"Everything traces back to the Purple Star Civilization..." The Celestial Thearch began in a slow voice.
"Stop!" An Lin extended a hand to stop him."I don't want to hear it!"
The Celestial Thearch choked on his words. He had only just started his story, but An Lin didn't want to hear it?!
This was the first time he had encountered a situation like this, and it was not a good feeling.
He was a little angry, and he insisted.
"Many of the Return to Void Stage Celestial Immortals don't even know about such high-level information, are you sure you're not interested?"
Xu Xiaolan also showed her cowardly side upon hearing this."We don't want to hear it!"
Listening to something like this could get them swept up into an inevitable sequence of events. 𝘧r𝗲𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗𝚗ove𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
Some important things were like a vortex that would suck you deeper and deeper into danger. The only way to escape this vortex was to not know about its existence in the first place!
The Celestial Thearch: "..."
"Are you two really so cowardly?" The Celestial Thearch glared at the two of them as he pointed to the world of snow and ice behind them."Look at the Holy Glacial Lands! All the snow maidens are homeless now with no way of turning back... Aren't you worried that the Kingdom of the Nine States will end up like this?"
An Lin shook his head relentlessly."We're not looking!"
The Celestial Thearch's lips twitched.
He was so angry! The high and mighty Celestial Thearch was going to tell them a confidential secret, but they didn't want to hear it?
Suddenly, a ripple fluttered through the air.
A thin layer of power of the divine dao suddenly enshrouded An Lin and the others.
An Lin faltered slightly with confusion.
He then heard a voice pierce through space before directly sounding in his consciousness.
"Hehe, you have no choice in this matter! You're going to listen to this whether you like it or not!"
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan: "..."
Even Xiao Ze was unable to keep that voice out as it erupted like claps of thunder in his consciousness as if it were trying to engrave itself into his memory.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan glowered at the Celestial Thearch.
The Celestial Thearch's expression remained indifferent, but a peculiar sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
Hmph! You little sh*ts want to go against my wishes?
"Everything traces back to the Purple Star Civilization." The Celestial Thearch began again in a slow voice.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan immediately blocked their ears with their hands, only for the voice to sound directly in their minds.
They were in despair.
"Do you know why the Purple Star Civilization fell?" the Celestial Thearch continued.
An Lin rolled his eyes, and Xu Xiaolan turned to look elsewhere.
Everyone ignored him.
"I just want to know how the Ancient Tai Chu Realm fell, " Xiao Ze said with a dejected expression.
The Celestial Thearch: "..."
What a crappy audience...
He forced himself to calm down before continuing, "The Purple Star Civilization was once the pride of the human race. They stood at the pinnacle of the Tai Chu Continent with no worthy competitors. But do you know the reason for their abrupt fall?"
Unfortunately, his attempt to build suspense completely failed.
An Lin had even begun to pick at his ears in an extremely uncooperatively manner.
The Celestial Thearch remained undeterred."Very few people know the truth about how the Purple Star Civilization fell, and the super mighty figures who do know treat it as a taboo subject."
"Then why do you insist on telling us?" An Lin flared up.
"You have the right to know." The Celestial Thearch turned to An Lin with a serious expression.
"What about me that has given me this right? I'll change!" An Lin felt like he was on the verge of tears.
The Celestial Thearch completely ignored him. He was not going to be satisfied until he got this off his chest.
"The reason for the fall of the Purple Star... was celestial retribution!" the Celestial Thearch answered his own question.
This time, An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and all the beasts were all dumbstruck.
Celestial retribution? Was this a joke? Celestial Retribution laid waste to an entire civilization?
The Celestial Thearch was quite pleased to see that he now had everyone's attention."That's right, you didn't hear that wrong. They suffered celestial retribution!
"The Purple Star Civilization was extremely powerful and using their technology, they could ensure that their entire population was at the Dao Body Stage at the very least. They could bring out the extent of one's latent potential so that all humans could live for a thousand years without any problems.
"They could artificially create seas of vital energy, spirit roots for Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, and they could even replicate Soul Formation Stage domains, as well as the spatial powers and power of the divine dao of Return to Void Stage mighty figures through the use of extremely advanced technology!
"At that time, the Purple Star Civilization was a dazzling star and was undoubtedly the place everyone yearned to go to in the Tai Chu Continent.
"However, they made the grave mistake of challenging the heavens!"
The Celestial Thearch's voice finally turned grave here.
"As their technology advanced, they tried to replicate the power of dao!
"There are countless dao in heaven and earth, but dao integration is something that can only be done by a cultivator through countless observations of the world around them. How could something like this be replicated through the use of technology?
"They failed. Many times..."
An Lin recalled the Godfiend of Six Paths from Shen Yin's memories, as well as the demonic baby and the Holy Trinity Fiendcelestial he had encountered in the Phoenix Small World upon hearing this.
"I don't know the specific details, but I do know that the Purple Star finally gave up on artificially replicating dao integration after many failures, " the Celestial Thearch continued.
"It's good that they knew their limits." An Lin nodded with approval.
The Celestial Thearch glanced at An Lin before continuing, "They then decided to replicate the Heavenly Dao instead."
An Lin: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"Dao integration required the perfection of one's intent realm and enlightenment. It is not something that can be artificially replicated or created.
"However, the Heavenly Dao is different. It is a type of authority that lies somewhere between existence and non-existence.
"It could even be said that the Heavenly Dao represented the entire world, or even transcended beyond the entire world. I don't know what the Purple Star discovered that led them to think that such a thing could be replicated.
"They wanted to create the most perfect human beings who could control the Heavenly Dao and rain blessings upon the human race, thereby bringing prosperity and ascension to the entire human race."
The Celestial Thearch continued in a slow voice, and each of his sentences was loaded with an overabundance of shocking information.
"What happened next?" An Lin asked.
"Hehe, finally being honest with ourselves now, are we?" The Celestial Thearch seemed to have secured some sort of victory, and a faint, triumphant smile appeared on his face.
An Lin: "..."
"After that, the Purple Star somehow managed to stab a hole in the 'sky'.
"In the end, the hole disappeared.
"The entire Purple Star Civilization, along with the earth, had been cursed.
"Regardless of whether you were a mundane mortal or a powerful Dao Integration Stage mighty figure.
"Everything perished within three days of the hole's emergence.
"What else can this be referred to as aside from divine retribution?"
The Celestial Thearch looked at An Lin and the others with a serious expression.
An Lin fell silent.
This made sense. The sky had a hole stabbed into it, so it naturally had to retaliate.
But why did it sound like the heavens were so humanized?
"But what does that have to do with the snow maidens?" Xu Xiaolan was perplexed.
The Celestial Thearch heaved a forlorn sigh."There is a connection because the divine retribution is not over! The fall of the Purple Star is only just the beginning..."
