Chapter 751: The End of the Age of Gods
"The Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword was the beginning of the Primordial Chaos, a divine sword conceived from the initial and most core power of the Chaos World. It was also the first sword in the Chaos World, the ancestor of all swords and even all weapons! Ranked first among the Mystic Heaven Seven Supreme Treasures, it possessed power so great it could defy the order of the universe. Legend has it that even if a person completely devoid of power held it in their hands, they could easily tear apart the heavens and destroy the myriad realms."
Mo Li described this legendary sword calmly... and even in the world where she was born, the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword was equally a mythical existence.
"During the Age of the Gods, the name of the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword was known to all. But after its first master—and the only master recorded in history—'Mo E', the foremost of the three Creation Gods, dissipated his divine origin and passed away peacefully, the sword vanished without a trace, and no one ever saw it again. Until seven hundred thousand years later, at the center of Chaos, the shadow of the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword appeared once more."
Yun Che: "..."
With her eyes closed, as if immersed in distant memories, Mo Li continued slowly, "Because it was at the center of Chaos, the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword was discovered simultaneously by the Divine Race and the Demon Race. Naturally, both sides wanted to claim it for themselves. For obtaining the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword would grant supreme power across the entire Chaos Space, a temptation that even the gods could not resist."
"Thus, for the ownership of the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword, the divine world of the Southern Chaos and the demon world of the Northern Chaos engaged in a fierce war. At first, both sides fought merely to seize the sword. But as the war intensified, numerous gods fell at the hands of demons, and numerous demons perished at the hands of gods. Thus, hatred began to sprout, spread, and intensify, making the divine-demonic war even more tragic. The more tragic the war became, the more gods and demons fell, and the deeper the hatred grew... The two worlds that had never interfered with each other, the only two races at the divine level in the world, became irreconcilable mortal enemies. The battles grew more brutal each year... without end."
Yun Che listened intently, but in his heart, he had already roared the same phrase more than a dozen times... What the hell does this have to do with Fen Juechen's matter!?
"After thirty thousand years of fierce war between the two races, the Demon Race began to collapse, and even their Northern Chaos was gradually occupied by the Divine Race. The remaining demons were eventually cornered by the divine race into the corners of Chaos..."
"In their despair, the Demon Race began a desperate counterattack without regard for consequences... They brought out that forbidden artifact which even they themselves feared immensely..."
"The Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel!"
At the mention of this name, Mo Li's delicate brows trembled for a moment, as if in that memory, it was an existence so terrifying that even true gods would tremble at the mere mention of it.
"Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel?" Yun Che was slightly startled, then remembered, "The one ranked second among the seven Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasures, second only to the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword?"
"That's right." Mo Li closed her eyes again. "Although it ranks below the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword among the seven Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasures, in terms of terror, it far surpasses the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword. Even in terms of sheer slaughter and destruction, it might even exceed the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword."
"'The Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword was born from the purest and most sacred power at the center of Chaos, a sword of utmost strength and sanctity. But the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel is the exact opposite extreme, born from the most yin and most evil aspects of the Chaos Space, containing the most extreme and terrifying negative forces. Once its power is triggered, even gods cannot control it, let alone harness it. Therefore, although the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel was always in the Northern Chaos, the Demon Race historically sealed it away with all their might, not daring to use its power or even approach it. Even when they were gradually losing ground in their war against the Divine Race, they never considered using the power of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel."'
"But the Divine Race, facing the collapse of the Demon Race and gradually occupying the Northern Chaos, still pressed forward relentlessly, intending to annihilate the Demon Race completely. In their sorrow and despair, the Demon Race, nearly insane with desperation, activated the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel."
Mo Li's brows unconsciously furrowed, and even her voice carried a hint of pain, as if the images in her memory were truly too terrifying. "When the power of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel was activated, a sound resembling a baby's cry—yet extremely eerie and terrifying—spread to every corner of Chaos. The breath and shadow of death enveloped every space..."
"If the Divine Race had been at their peak, they might have been able to resist the power of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel together. But although the Divine Race won the war, after thirty thousand years of brutal conflict, they had paid an extremely heavy price. The originally thriving Divine Race had withered to a pitiful state, utterly unable to resist the destructive power of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel. The gods were either destroyed, severely wounded, or had evil qi enter their bodies, causing their divine origin to rapidly deplete, making life worse than death."
"But those who suffered this calamity were not only the Divine Race, but also the Demon Race who had triggered the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel's power. The horror of that disaster surpasses your imagination countless times... Those destroyed like mowed grass were not lowly creatures, but true gods, supreme beings any one of whom could rule the myriad realms in the present age. The surviving divine and demon races were forced to unite to resist the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel's power in hope of survival, but it was already too late. Both races were pushed to the brink of extinction... Finally, the power of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel reached its end. Both races thought they saw the dawn of hope, but at the last moment, the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel released a flood of poison across the skies, sending both the divine and demon races into the abyss of ultimate despair."
"Poison?" Yun Che subconsciously muttered aloud.
"That poison is called 'Myriad Tribulations of Oblivion.' Although you have some understanding of toxicology, you have definitely never heard of this poison." Mo Li said indifferently. "It is far more terrifying than the 'Heavenly Wound Severing Thought Poison' that the Heavenly Poison Pearl can release! So terrifying that even true gods would die upon contact!"
Yun Che's heart shook with shock and confusion... Heavenly Wound Severing Thought Poison? What was that? Why had he never heard of it? When he had used the poison power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl before, the poison released was indeed terrifying, but not to an incomprehensible degree. After releasing all its poison power, it only spread across thirty-three cities and seventy-six sects.
"...Could it be that when I obtained the Heavenly Poison Pearl, its poison power was already severely incomplete?"
Mo Li glanced at Yun Che's reaction but misinterpreted it as something else. Turning her head away, she said, "Don't be surprised. Although the Heavenly Poison Pearl is named for its heavenly poison, poison power is not its main ability. Its main ability is purification and refinement... and it possesses the most powerful purification and refinement power in the world!"
"However, even with the Heavenly Poison Pearl's purification ability, whether it could purify the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel's 'Myriad Tribulations of Oblivion' is uncertain. The 'Godslayer Desolation Poison' that I was afflicted with, and the demon poison that Hong'er once suffered, were both refined by ancient demons using the leaking evil qi of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel. Just the leaked aura could produce such terrifying god-slaying poison; how terrifying would the 'Myriad Tribulations of Oblivion' born from the source power of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel be? Even true gods might not comprehend it. At least in my view, even the Heavenly Poison Pearl cannot purify 'Myriad Tribulations of Oblivion.' Otherwise, the Divine Race would not have been completely annihilated."
"...And then what? Did the Divine Race and Demon Race just perish like that?" Yun Che pressed.
"That's right." Mo Li nodded indifferently. "The end of the Age of Gods began with the Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasure ranked first, the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword, and concluded with the one ranked second, the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel."
"When I bestowed the Evil God's Indestructible Blood upon you back then, I told you that the Evil God was the last god to fall in the Age of Gods. At that time, both gods and demons were annihilated, Chaos was in turmoil, countless planets, star realms, and living beings perished. The aura of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel eventually dissipated. Although the Evil God did not die immediately, he was afflicted with 'Myriad Tribulations of Oblivion' and was destined to be unable to escape his end. In the final moments of his life, he used his last divine power to calm the turmoil of the Chaos order as much as possible, then, relying on his last shred of divine origin, he came to the place of his chosen demise... and finally fell."
"As for this part about the Evil God, it was a fragmented memory I extracted from the Evil God's Indestructible Blood after obtaining it. It should have been deliberately left by the Evil God when he left his inheritance. However, these memory fragments contain many gaps. Clearly, the Evil God intentionally concealed some things he did not want future generations to know. Even the location of his chosen place of demise and what he did in his final moments were specifically erased."
Memories obtained from the Evil God's Indestructible Blood... That is to say, what Mo Li just said was known only to her under heaven. Oh no, now only she and Yun Che knew.
But! But! But! What exactly does all this have to do with Fen Juechen!!!
I just want to know what bizarre thing happened to Fen Juechen, and yet somehow this dragged out stuff from the ancient era!!
Although it was... pretty interesting to listen to!!
Although that was the end of the Age of Gods, a catastrophic disaster affecting the entire Chaos Space, to Yun Che it was ultimately too far away, too illusory, and had no connection whatsoever with his past, present, or future. He only found it interesting or somewhat shocking to listen to... basically no different from hearing a folk-made-up myth.
In comparison, he was far more interested in the secret of Fen Juechen!
