Despite Wang Wei's words, Emperor Kong remained quiet. The situation was more complex than it appeared. His academy was too entrenched in the lives of the parasites, so he had to make his following decisions carefully. Additionally, he was extremely wary of the person next to him. If he were not careful, Wang Wei would sell him and have him count the money.
"I have to think about this carefully," Emperor Kong replied, once again giving an ambiguous answer.
'What an annoyance,' Wang Wei thought. He realized another characteristic of Emperor Kong — extreme caution. He understood why. After all, the latter had to play a dangerous game of maintaining a balance with the parasites while secretly helping the rebellion. If one wrong move were made, everything Emperor Kong built would be instantly destroyed.
Wang Wei looked at the sky, and his eyes became extremely profound: "Have you heard of the Endless Tribulation Era?"
"Yes, it's the era before the Golden Era," Emperor Kong replied. Time Eater almost erased this world's history; he even used his Chrono Spirit to block the River of Time to prevent certain capable people from peeking at the past. Of course, such a method does not affect these top lineages, but it did disrupt everything and everyone else.
"I heard that era is our world's version of the Null Era, with civilization restarting," Emperor Kong added. He spent a lot of time and effort, and with Xun Junyao's help, he acquired much knowledge of the world's history. However, Emperor Kong's effort went as far back as the Golden Era, and he knew little about what came before.
"All sentient beings with intelligence have one thing in common: the desire for improvement or evolution," Wang Wei stated calmly. "No one can escape this fact — including Grand Dao." He sipped his wine and emptied the cup. Emperor Kong waved his hand to refill it, breaking etiquette since he should have used a teapot. However, he did not care about that since he had a feeling Wang Wei was about to reveal some outlandish information again.
"Heavenly Dao also wishes to improve, and it happened in that era," Wang Wei continued. "In the lower generation, during my generation, Heavenly Dao skipped your son's time to bring all the luck and destiny of that generation to mine — creating a prosperous era. Meanwhile, True Heavenly Dao did something even more extreme.
"81 tribulations," Wang Wei stated with shining eyes. "During each tribulation, the Eternal Ascension World was ravaged by war, famine, and countless catastrophes, but each time they survived, civilization rebuilt itself, and the world's luck reached a new peak."
Emperor Kong listened attentively while drinking. He compared what Wang Wei said with the information that he had, deducing what he said was the truth, what his motive was, and so on.
"Do you know what the final tribulation was?" Wang Wei asked.
Emperor Kong pondered briefly: "The Innate-Acquire War."
"You would think so, but no," Wang Wei shook his head. "That war was the 80th tribulation and ended that era. Afterward, the human race became the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, and the Eternal Ascension World became one of the many worlds where acquired life is in the dominant position. It can also be said the world determines its position in the eternal battle between Fiengods, Paragons, and Heavenly Primarchs."
Wang Wei moisturized his throat.
"After the war, the world's luck reached an unprecedented height and entered the Golden Era. In some previous eras, it was common for the total number of Paragon to be less than three digits. But at the peak of the Golden Era, all the Overlords had at least hundreds of Paragons, and some were in the thousands."
Wang Wei sighed. He had to give credit to Heavenly Dao. It took the risk of using this tribulation method to drastically improve the Eternal Ascension World's overall strength and power. However, how risky were those 81 tribulations? If any of them went wrong, the world's cultivation civilization would be destroyed and have to restart. The Eternal Ascension World might have spent countless eras trying to recuperate from the devastation.
"During the Golden Era, many extraordinary talents rose up," Wang Wei continued. "For example, my ancestor, Qiyuan. He started the First Origin War, turning the Myriad Emperor World into the destiny center of the lower dimension. However, was this the only effect of that war? Of course not.
"The world's destiny also shifted from the aboriginals born in the upper dimension to the people from the lower dimension." How could the people from the other world communities allow Qiyuan to bless his home world at the detriment of their own? The First Origin War should have ended with these people banding together to defeat the Dao Opening Sect and the others from the Myriad Emperor World. Yet, that's not what happened.
The explanation for this is Qiyuan convinced many people from other world communities to side with him, and the reward was what Wang Wei said: destiny shifting to them. After the war, more and more people from the lower dimension grew until they became the dominant force in the upper dimension.
"I suspect the first war was in preparation for the Second Origin War," Wang Wei analyzed. He had no definite proof of this matter, but he derived this conclusion after researching the historical text.
"Another extraordinary talent of that era is, of course, Empress Wu and her situation is related to you," Wang Wei said, looking at him.
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?" Emperor Kong was genuinely confused.
"Many major events happened during the Golden Era, but the most significant is the Devil Catastrophe — the 81st and last tribulation."
Wang Wei sighed. "She's a wonderful woman, isn't she? She's probably the strongest of all the Primals in that era in terms of direct combat. However, her lineage is slightly better than that of Limitless Exchange Hall in terms of the number of [Primal Strength]. In terms of foundation, such as the number of paragons, empyreans, and middle-level cultivators, she's undoubtedly the weakest. freeweɓnovel.cøm
