Chapter 340 - 195: Confronting the Divine as a Mortal (Part 2)
Suddenly, a dazzling light flowed over the platform, and a neutral voice devoid of emotion rang in everyone’s minds:
[You shouldn’t be here]
"Oh?"
Qing Bo tilted her head, looking bewildered and confused.
"Was that just..... the voice of the World Tree?" Zhang Yu cautiously opened his mouth.
Professor Song said, "It should be a kind of mind connection ability, allowing other creatures to hear the voice within their hearts."
After a pause, he added: "This is exclusive to Spirit-type Pet Beasts."
Well, well, well, Spirit-type Pet Beasts truly are nature’s favorites, they’ve got all the advantages.
Professor Song stared at the giant face, slowly stepping forward a few paces, his expression solemn, his tone serious: "Cyan, we are here for....."
[I already know your intention]
Cyan’s voice rang out again, stopping Professor Song’s voice abruptly.
Immediately, an irresistible consciousness forcibly poured into everyone’s minds, the scene before them suddenly transforming, as if watching a film, scene after scene appeared.
Eight dazzling beams of light fell from the void’s gaps, transforming into the shape of giant beasts.
Towering giant trees rooted in the earth, forests spread, vibrant green emerged;
A giant dragon coiled around the mountain ridge, using its tail tip to toggle the cycle of day and night;
A big bird flew high in the air, the flames it shook off swept across the mountains.....
The scene rapidly changed, Chen Yuan’s thoughts surged: "These must be the Eight Deities....."
"This is the scene of their birth."
"The dragon, the bird....."
Several peculiar figures appeared, but the scene flashed by, and Chen Yuan did not see them clearly.
Suddenly, the scene shifted, and tiny human figures appeared on the earth, like ants, they moved everywhere, taming Pet Beasts, villages and cities rose from the ground.
Chen Yuan murmured: "These must be the first Beastmasters."
A highly dazzling civilization of Pet Beasts was thus established, thousands of Beastmasters united to support an emperor, who became the ruler of the world.
"Emperor Yu." Professor Song’s eyes flickered.
According to relevant records, the emperor who single-handedly created the Pet Beast civilization was called Emperor Yu; he rose from obscurity, tamed numerous powerful Pet Beasts, and ultimately became the ruler of mankind.
The scene rotated again.
Emperor Yu led thousands of Beastmasters through mountains and rivers, to the world’s end, finding the dragon coiled around the mountain ridge.
"What does he want to do?" Chen Yuan’s face was startled.
The army pressed on, the dragon roared.
This did not look like friendly communication.
Suddenly, thousands of Pet Beasts charged out, a great battle unfolded.
"He wants to tame this dragon." Chen Yuan looked at Emperor Yu standing on the mountaintop, and the thought suddenly popped into his mind.
The battle lasted a long time, the earth was covered with Pet Beast corpses, rivers were dyed red with blood, and the sky was rendered blood-red.
Emperor Yu did not succeed, he left with his defeated army.
The scene shifted once more.
The dragon and the bird vied beneath the sky, spewing flames and brilliant energy waves, causing mountains and rivers to shatter.
Meanwhile, in other parts of Donghuang, battles between Deities were also taking place.
Mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, rivers dried up, cities were destroyed, and humans and Pet Beasts fled everywhere.
Rumble, rumble!
Accompanied by the deafening roar, Cyan stood beneath the sky, enveloped by countless green lights, which quickly spread in all directions, until enveloping the entire earth.
The fighting stopped, but all things lost their original color.
At one point, spiritual energy vanished, civilization collapsed.
The scene faded away.
A massive amount of information flooded into Chen Yuan’s mind in a short time, knowing he hadn’t fully grasped the information, he didn’t make random guesses, but looked at Professor Song.
Everyone was eagerly looking at Professor Song.
Professor Song’s pupils trembled, his tone heavy: "So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is....."
"This is the reason for the first Spiritual Energy Revival’s cessation."
Lu Ran said straightforwardly: "Professor, stop being mysterious, what exactly happened?"
Professor Song let out a long sigh, waited until his stirred emotions returned to calm, then slowly opened his mouth: "The ruler who established the Pet Beast civilization was called Emperor Yu, he single-handedly created the Great Yu Dynasty."
"But obviously, he tried to capture the Deity that controls time for some reason."
Chen Yuan showed a look of realization.
The dragon represented time.
"But he failed, humans ultimately cannot compete against Deities wielding grand power."
"Thus, he schemed to provoke conflicts between the Deities, causing them to slaughter each other, then sitting back to reap the benefits."
After a brief pause, Professor Song’s expression was complex: "But judging from the final scene, the impact of the Deities’ slaughter on this land was far beyond expectations."
"Mountains and rivers shattered, storms raged, even the dynasty he was proud of could not survive such grand power."
"In the final scene, Cyan took action."
"She should have used some forbidden skill, forcibly ending the Deities’ melee."
"However, the cost was that spiritual energy vanished, and the once-glorious Pet Beast civilization disappeared from history, leaving only some ancient texts revealing the historical truth."
Lu Ran listened intently, then spoke of his seemingly very reasonable deduction: "Professor, this Emperor Yu wants to capture the Deity controlling time, clearly dreaming of immortality."
"It’s classic for the emperor to desire immortality."
Professor Song’s face was solemn as he shook his head seriously: "Without more accurate information, we cannot make arbitrary assumptions."
"Emperor Yu was the emperor who unified the Donghuang Land, he was diligent all his life, wouldn’t conduct foolish acts."
Lu Ran couldn’t help but mutter: "Weren’t there many emperors who were wise in the beginning but foolish in the end....."
