Chapter 847: The Shocking Truth (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After the divine war ended, it transformed into one of the weakest divine lineages.

Just when the natural divine lineage thought it could finally recuperate, another malicious force struck.

Before the divine war, the natural divine lineage was considered powerful, and thus the natural divine realm was vast and rich. However, they harbored guilt.

Other divine lineages that were similarly affected by the divine war saw the extreme decline of the natural divine lineage as an opportunity, coveting the resources of the natural divine realm.

With the natural believers almost completely wiped out in the divine war, their faith rapidly waned. With only two natural gods remaining, there was no way to stop those who began to covet the natural divine realm.

In order to preserve the natural divine realm, they decisively led it deeper into

the void.

However, venturing far from the main world into the depths of the void would have serious consequences. One factor was the distance from the main world.

The main world was like a signal tower: the closer you were, the better the signal, and the farther away, the worse the signal.

But like satellite orbits, positions close to the main world were limited.

Therefore, some powerful divine realms, such as the elven divine realm and the radiant divine realm, relied on their strength to occupy a position very close to the main world.

The weakened natural divine lineage was relegated to a more distant position.

At that time, the natural divine lineage had already declined to the extreme, and naturally, it was pushed to the outermost periphery.

What those coveters did not expect was that the natural gods would be so decisive. They drove the divine realm away from the main world and into the depths of the void, essentially severing their connection with faith, leading themselves to their demise.

The coveters hesitated, no longer pursuing. But the natural divine realm disappeared into the vast void, losing contact.

They thought that the natural divine lineage’s actions would surely lead to its demise, lost in the void.

In reality, the natural divine lineage knew that this was a path to destruction, but they still chose to do so—for the sake of preserving the natural divine realm.

Seeing this, Ji Chen’s heart trembled slightly. He hadn’t expected that the natural divine realm would be driven into the void by the two remaining natural gods, to prevent it from falling into the hands of other coveting gods. Ji Chen tried to empathize with the mindset of those two natural gods at that time, attempting to understand if they had the determination to choose this path to their demise.

In the end, he could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

This feeling of helplessly walking towards death, even gods would not accept it willingly.

Ji Chen shook himself out of his reverie and continued reading.

As the two natural gods ventured deeper into the void, they, too, saw what even for gods was limited to the realm of legends-the edge of the void.

At this time, 200,000 years had passed since the end of the divine war, more than 100,000 years from now, contrary to what other divine lineages believed, the natural divine lineage and the natural divine realm did not vanish 370,000 years ago.

At the edge of the void, they saw things hidden within the void.

In this void, there was indeed a supreme existence silently observing everything.

That supreme existence, also known as the plane’s will, also saw them on the brink of death and told them a truth.

Ji Chen was finally unable to contain his astonishment at this point.

The main world, countless rotating realms, and the void formed a complete plane ecosystem.

Any living being that died in the plane would be transformed back into birth energy by countless constant rules, in order to maintain the continuous operation of the plane.

There were simply too many gods bom in this plane, and with powerful beings like gods constantly plundering resources to strengthen themselves, and almost never aging or dying, this led to energy continuously gathering towards the top gods.

And with insufficient energy to maintain the operation of the birthing plane, the world’s resource birth rate was slowed down countless times, inevitably leading to environmental collapse.

Therefore, special means had to be used regularly to promote the cycle.

The divine war was one of the ways to cycle plane energy.

And the war between order and darkness became a way of cycling.

As with the previous times, the effect was very apparent, with most of the gods falling in the divine war, and a large amount of primitive energy returning to the plane, promoting the cycle and revitalizing the main world, countless realms, and the entire plane.

However, after such a simple and effective “cycle,” the supreme existence encountered a problem.

Another plane emerged.

There were many ways for planes to continue, but there were only two ways that never changed.

Conservation and conquest.

Conservation meant maintaining the operation and development of the plane through “cycles,” being self-sufficient.

Conquest, on the other hand, meant literally conquering other planes to plunder resources to maintain and strengthen one’s own plane.

Unfortunately, this time, the nearby plane was a powerful conquest-type plane, which clearly expressed its intention of aggression, slaughter, and plunder.

This created a rather amusing situation.

This conservative plane had just undergone the “cycle” of the divine war and was at its weakest developmental stage, but it collided with such a conquest-type plane that thrived on aggression and plunder.

And upon discovering the conservative plane, this conquest-type plane accelerated its approach.

But the will of this conservative plane was not to sit idly by. Just as the two natural gods drove the natural divine realm away, it also drove this plane to move, fleeing from the conquering plane.

If the conquering plane made contact, its plane’s beings would swarm into this plane like locusts, exterminating all beings, capturing them, and plundering resources.

The will of the conquering plane would also devour the will of this conservative plane, leading to the destruction of this plane.

However, the conquering plane was even more powerful, and if this plane only fled unilaterally, it would sooner or later be caught up with.

Perhaps sensing their impending death, the plane’s will stopped here without revealing anything more, or perhaps any further plans.

The light screen changed, showing the figures of the two natural gods.

One was a middle-aged male, and the other was a female of some kind of void race.

At the core of this natural divine realm, the summit of the natural divine tree, they stored everything they had seen in a crystal ball capable of preserving for millions of years, made a coffin out of the branches of the natural divine tree, and passed on the order to the army of the natural divine realm to forever protect this place.

At the end of their lives.

They used the power of the divine realm to send out a medium that could connect the divine realm with the main world, which was the key that Ji Chen obtained, not to let the natural divine realm truly get lost, and also to let these truths be known to future generations.

After seeing all this, the light screen finally froze on the two natural gods turning into light spots rising into the sky, eventually becoming the energy that sustained the natural divine realm.

For a long time.

Ji Chen slowly breathed out a sigh of relief, still feeling the lingering shock in his heart.

That divine realm key was created by the two natural gods when they felt they had reached a dead end, in order to prevent the natural divine realm and this astonishing truth from being lost in the void.

What’s even more astonishing is that there exists a higher plane will above the gods, observing everything that happens within the plane for countless years, propelling countless events that have left their mark on history.

Even the divine war, according to the speculation of the two natural gods, was indirectly propelled by it for the sake of “cycle,” and such divine wars have occurred more than once.

And each time, countless beings died, turning into energy to return to the plane’s cycle.

The emergence of the conquering plane is an even more serious matter.

This is much more serious than any divine war. To put it bluntly, while divine wars allow energy to re-enter the cycle, originally intended to promote and maintain the survival and development of the plane, if the plane is invaded and conquered by other planes, then the entire plane will be dressed in someone else’s clothes!

This filled Ji Chen’s heart with immense horror, also leading to a series of thoughts.

Could it be that it was the will of the plane that brought players to this world? And the unit technology tree, was it also a gift from the will of the plane?
