Chapter 1765: Chapter 1784: That Distant and Sealed Era (Part 2)

Eventually, the twelve Small Cauldrons and the spear were all taken away, disappearing completely from all beings’ sight.

A legend began to flourish in the Ancient Times, suggesting that whoever could unravel the secrets contained within the twelve Small Cauldrons might obtain the Transcendence Technique, truly pushing open that grand gate, even surpassing the Eternal Universe.

Time passes swiftly, ages rush by!

The Ancient Times grew increasingly powerful, almost rivaling the previous Desolate Ancient Era.

Finally, the great calamity of ages arrived, once again initiating the apocalypse; countless beings from the Ancient Times rose defiantly, joining in the earth-shattering battle.

The duration of this war is unknown, as the concept of time ceased to exist.

At last!

Everyone perished, all died under this great calamity of ages, yet some earth-shattering individuals from the Ancient Times survived, so much so that even the Chaotic Universe could not annihilate them.

Only three survived, and no one knew who they were, nor where they disappeared to.

Epochs rushed by, time slipped away.

Ultimately!

The Eternal Universe was reopened, birthing numerous beings as a splendid and powerful era commenced anew.

This era, known as the Ancient Times, saw countless ancient beings cultivating themselves, inheriting the fragments of Laws passed down from the Desolate Ancient Era and Ancient Times, and understanding that painful history.

In the Ancient Times, wars were rare; all ancient beings diligently cultivated, even though the nature’s spiritual energy of the Ancient Times was not as rich as that of the Desolate and Ancient Times, their diligence compensated for this.

For the ancient beings knew, if they wanted to survive, they had to break the apocalypse of the Eternal Universe; only breaking the enslavement of the Eternal Universe would grant them Great Transcendence and Great Freedom.

At last!

The Ancient Times met its end, the war against the heavens commenced once more.

A Great Sect deployed an Absolute Formation of ages, leading billions of disciples to rise against the heavens.

Also, a faction of the Demon Sect saw billions of disciples self-destruct, transforming into an eternal Blood Sea, sweeping across the Heavenly Vault.

Moreover, one who could be called an invincible Divine King led tens of thousands of descendants to battle the heavens.

Every era sees earth-shattering individuals rise, and the Ancient Times was no exception!

This battle against the heavens could be said to destroy Chaos, for it gathered the blood and sweat of all beings of the Ancient Times, and they prepared for this fight through countless ages.

Finally!

The Ancient Times were destroyed; all ancient beings perished, leaving only four survivors.

The same event transpired again, these four beings also vanished, never to be seen.

Desolate Ancient Era, Ancient Times, Ancient Times!

These three eras are hailed as the mightiest, producing countless earth-shattering beings who defied the heavens and rose up.

Perhaps Chaos felt it, or perhaps there was a change in Heaven and Earth!

When the Ancient Times were destroyed, the Eternal Universe underwent a change, a cataclysmic shift.

Nature’s spiritual energy thinned, the Three Thousand Great Dao vanished, even the Power of Laws weakened, all born beings becoming exceedingly frail, with the strongest not exceeding the supreme of ages!

This era was termed the Chaotic Universe, with each passing Twelve Primordial Meetings, measuring twelve billion eight hundred and fifty-three million years!

And in one Chaotic Universe, only twelve supreme beings of ages could emerge to replace the Chaotic Universe, to govern all living beings.

As the Chaotic Universe appeared, as the Twelve Primordial Meetings began, three great rivers came into existence.

From this moment, the immortal Twelve Heavenly Gates disappeared without a trace, beings knew only of nine Heavenly Gates, even the supreme of ages believed so.

Time is most unforgiving, Chaos is most ruthless!

One Chaotic Universe after another begins to perish and reincarnate, enduring apocalypse with each twelve Primordial Meetings, the Chaotic Universe has undergone an unfathomable number of apocalyptic reincarnations up to the era Ye Xuan resides in.

The number cannot be calculated, it is inconceivably long, so much so that Ye Xuan cannot imagine, nor predict it.

Every apocalyptic reincarnation of the Chaotic Universe signifies the demise of all beings; this is a disaster, a nightmare for all Spirits!

Since the Desolate Ancient Era, Ancient Times, and Ancient Times, earth-shattering individuals have disappeared, much less to face the Chaotic Universe, all dying unwillingly in the apocalyptic calamity.

Yet, in the world, nothing is absolute; though no Earth-shattering individuals emerged, the tides of time still brought forth dazzling figures.

They refused to be destroyed, seeking new paths, employing various secret techniques at the cost of their lives, evading the apocalyptic hardship of the Chaotic Universe reincarnation.

These individuals knew as forbidden figures.

Unfortunately, even knowing the Twelve Heavenly Gates posthumously, having ventured onto divergent paths, they could not turn back for they were already dead.

The forbidden of forbidden, that small group of earth-shattering individuals, were the ones surviving from those three eras.

They are living beings, daring to rival the Chaotic Universe, even battling against it, unable to be destroyed by any great calamity.

"Do you understand now?"

At this point, the body of ’the Heartless Man’ was visibly trembling, unable to stabilize his emotions for a long time.

Amidst this long-sealed history, even this forbidden figure knew how insignificant he truly was.

The forbidden of forbidden, the legend among legends, that small band of earth-shattering individuals, reigning supreme in the Eternal Universe, where even the Cosmic Will could not extinguish them.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan was trembling, trembling silently!

As the ’Heartless Man’ unveiled this ancient and sealed history, even Ye Xuan, whose mind was steadfast and resolute, felt his heart tremor under this narrated history.

What was he at this moment?

As insignificant as dust, as fragile as an ant!

Compared to those heavens-defying forces, he was truly just an ant; only the words of ’the Heartless Man’ left Ye Xuan’s emotions unsettled.

"That is the era that belongs to me, that is the era of vying for the myriad Dao, how I hate, how I hate being born in this era, if I could have been born in the Desolate Ancient Era, I could have competed with those heavens-defying forces and risen to the heavens along with them!"

Ye Xuan cried out in rage and despair, his eyes burned red, he longed for that distant era, believing that if he had been born in that period, he could undoubtedly live freely, without being confined to this current circumstance.

Alas, that distant and unknown era is gone; this is an iron-clad fact also causing Ye Xuan profound sorrow!

If only!

If time and space could reverse, if Chaos could be inverted, how desperately he wished to visit those three great eras, to witness the supreme demeanor of those heavens-defying forces!

Desolate Ancient Era!

Ancient Times!

Ancient Times!

Ye Xuan’s heart cried out in sorrow, this pain stemming from his heart, lamenting that he was not born in that era, also considering this the greatest regret of his life.

"You’ve opened the Twelve Heavenly Gates, you’re a living being, you’re walking the path of those heavens-defying forces, which is why I hold you as the forbidden of forbidden."

"It’s not just me; other forbidden figures must think alike, for in our era, it is simply impossible for a living person to open the Twelve Heavenly Gates."

The ’Heartless Man’ calmly gazed at Ye Xuan, eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Thank you for telling me!"

Ye Xuan stood and bowed to the ’Heartless Man’, for today he unveiled a sealed history and enlightened him to many earth-shattering secrets of ages, accepting this bow willingly.

"You needn’t thank me; even if I didn’t tell you today, you would know eventually," the ’Heartless Man’ replied calmly.
