But Luna Ji quietly stepped back a few paces.
Rong Cheng gave an awkward smile. "Fellow Daoist Ji, you truly didn't deceive me; you were very sincere. We only saw half of it – the Age of Dharma Decline. The other half is actually the Age of Germination... If this scene were to become known, the entire universe would tremble... No one would have imagined that the Chaos Era of the Myriad Worlds was actually a period of mutation; the true era is like this!"
Both of them were peerless prodigies with steadfast Dao hearts, so their current composure was already quite commendable.
The mere sight of the Chaos Sea giving birth to life filled them with a faint sense of despair, for they vaguely saw the next epoch, an era of new overlords.
The door to the Eleventh Tier opened in this era. New life was born in this era. How could these two events be so coincidental? It was likely a cosmic alignment of fate, that this door to the Eleventh Tier existed to allow the beings of this era to break through and attain the Dao.
Whoosh.
History was rapidly unfolding.
They saw the Chaos Sea teeming with vitality, a vibrant expanse. Enormous creatures, spanning countless light-years, evolved and crawled ashore, while the Longevity Dao Palace of this universe also began to emerge.
"It's the Longevity Realm!""It's actually the Longevity Realm!"Zhi Ji also exclaimed.
They witnessed that terrifying era, along with the deductions and dialogues of the beings of the Longevity Realm.
"So, we're not the protagonists!""We painstakingly smuggled ourselves, finally arriving in the future era where the Eleventh Tier opened, only to discover that the Eleventh Tier wasn't even for us, these prehistoric beings...""Traveling through time, smuggling ourselves into the future, we thought it was transcendence, but it turned out to be an even more terrifying despair! Because when we open our eyes, we are already ancient beings on the brink of extinction, facing our ultimate demise."
Both of them blacked out for a moment, as if the heavens and earth were spinning, and the ground was shaking.
That sentence spoke of their future selves! How tragic... Both of them wore bitter expressions. They had smuggled themselves into the future seeking hope, only to find the apocalypse of their own race, witnessing their demise. What then was the point of their journey?
They felt the same profound sorrow as the beings of the Longevity Dao Palace in the universe, experiencing immense empathy.
Next, their minds were even more profoundly shaken as they saw the leader of the new era's creatures emerge from the Chaos Sea and engage in a dialogue with an ancient entity from the Longevity Dao Palace.
The cold, brutal dialogue revealed the history of the universe's development and the irreversible, ultimate trend.
This left their minds almost blank. It was too realistic, too heartless, yet it spoke of the undeniable truth of the future.
After hearing this, the beings of the Longevity Dao Palace ultimately chose to seclude themselves. They weren't truly retreating; as old beings, they had nowhere left to retreat. Instead, they were conserving their strength, waiting for the Eleventh Tier to finally open before emerging for a final, desperate battle.
And those final words from the Longevity Dao Palace were forever imprinted in their hearts:"I once wondered, if the Longevity Realm's fate is thus, what is the meaning of our existence?""Now I understand. We are the last glimmer of life for the old era's beings.""This is the meaning of our Longevity Dao Palace's existence; the universe has not left us, the old beings, without a ray of hope.""Nothing has changed. As long as we can win the second half of this battle from billions of years in the future, we will reach our ultimate destination!"
As the final dialogue concluded, that battle fully erupted, ringing the ultimate death knell, bringing about the collapse of heaven and earth. The screen went completely dark, leaving them unaware of victory or defeat.
"We...""So this was the meaning of our Longevity Dao Palace."At that moment, both figures swayed violently, and faint cracks and signs of collapse appeared in their Dao hearts.
They were originally immensely powerful, with their Dao hearts almost impervious to breakdown from brief "seductive" fragments. However, they knew this scene was real, that it was their future.
The screen dimmed to black.
"Rest a while," the Emperor said, helping the pale Zhi Ji to sit down. "We are the young generation of this era, born into this time. While witnessing this scene is equally tragic for us, you are the most sorrowful; I understand."
On the other side, Rong Cheng took a long time to compose himself, his voice finally becoming hoarse with emotion. He bowed respectfully and slowly. "Thank you. You've allowed us to glimpse a corner of historical future. We are eternally grateful!"
"Any gain comes with an equivalent cost."In the distance, the God of Destruction still stood serenely, continuing to evolve those creatures. He spoke softly, "Everything is balanced. My arrival has allowed you to know the future, but it has also brought you face-to-face with calamity ahead of time."
Balanced?
Rong Cheng sighed deeply, looking at the mysterious species evolving within the clear Chaos Sea."Yes, it is indeed balanced..."The price of the anomaly was the premature arrival of the apocalypse.
Before their eyes, the great tide of this cosmic era was unstoppable! Countless Saints began to attain the Dao, bringing the future rapidly closer. It would likely take no more than a few thousand to ten thousand years for the universe's Grand Dao of rules to reach its eighth layer, and for the Chaos Sea to begin giving birth to life.
"So, the future history that should have unfolded billions of years from now is being born in just a few thousand, or ten thousand years—meaning, almost immediately for us?" Rong Cheng's mind reeled. That tragic destiny was imminent, yet he felt bewildered and despairing.
It was right before them; how should he respond? Rong Cheng looked at the creatures, at the scenes projected by the nine jellyfish universes. "Are you, by any chance, improving and accelerating the cosmic environment, evolving the conditions for those creatures to appear?"
"This is all I can do," the God of Destruction said softly. "To let you see them in advance and prepare for your research... As for whether you can change the future and reverse your destined fate, that depends entirely on yourselves."
Rong Cheng fell silent, then nodded earnestly. Suddenly, without needing to ask further, he vaguely understood the origin of the entity before him, and what kind of being had left behind the prophecy.
"This cosmic meteor shower, I fear, is a contingency left behind by the master of the Longevity Dao Palace from the prehistoric universe. They broke through to the Eleventh Tier but were outnumbered, and ultimately left something floating in the sky, which eventually descended upon this era?" he secretly speculated, looking at the God of Destruction before him, his heart filled with silent admiration.
"This is a glimmer of hope left to us by a prehistoric being, giving us the possibility to change the future." He recalled the scene of that final battle and couldn't help but be moved to tears.
The two looked at each other. Rong Cheng and Zhi Ji had previously been at odds, wary of one another, but now they were simultaneously astonished, as they both originated from the same place after all.
"'The Myriad Worlds' era, historically, might never have seen the present era appear," Zhi Ji remarked.
A scene gradually unfolded.
How intelligent he was! He could tell at a glance that this was the true history! This was a segment of cosmic development history that could not be false, impossible to fabricate.
Countless years gradually passed. The Chaos Sea underwent a complete transformation, beginning to give birth to living beings. A faint glimmer of life appeared in the desolate Chaos Sea, rapidly expanding and moving towards vibrancy.
"This...""Husband..." Zhi Ji took a deep breath, grasping the Emperor's hand."When we first saw this scene, we were just as surprised. Even seeing it for a second time, it's still profoundly shocking. This is the true history of the universe," the Emperor said seriously.
"This is terrifying!" Rong Cheng suddenly wished he had a Dao partner for comfort. He looked at Luna Ji next to him, wanting to confide."It's like a country bumpkin from the countryside entering the city, or Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden."
The chaotic cosmic meteor shower had an irreparable flaw; because it was fake, it could never become real. A lie, no matter how perfect, is always a lie... But what was before them, one could tell with a single glance that it was real. This was the great tide of history, irreplaceable.
The Chaos Sea was clear, nurturing life within it. First, ordinary Saints beyond the Chaos Heavens gradually noticed the anomaly in the Chaos Sea, as if some kind of crisis was approaching. The scene showed a peaceful expanse beyond the Chaos Heavens, where the Chaos Sea had become exceptionally clear, and the Grand Dao Diagram was perfectly complete, perhaps representing a cosmic era billions of years in the future.
Seeing this from the shadows, the Great Octopus couldn't help but shake its head and sigh, "Even at the pinnacle of the cosmic bloodline pyramid, they can't escape the reality of being a bumpkin... They haven't observed the Creation God... The Creation God, I fear, was barely seen by figures like Yi Mang in the Chaos Primeval Era, and by the later Longevity Realm era, knowledge of them was already lost!"
The Great Octopus was pleased, but the two individuals grew even more astonished.
"The true cosmic shield and era peacefully arrived at the moment when the Grand Dao Diagram was about to be completed; that is the moment of eruption." Rong Cheng's eyes shone with a dazzling, astonishing brilliance as he began to deduce, "It is so... it is so... This is the cosmic epoch of normal history, not this anomaly before us!"
"This history!?"Zhi Ji and Rong Cheng were completely riveted."This is not false!"
