Chapter 492: Era of Chaos, Era of the Heavenly Court
The information Lian Heng described was rather new to the many Sect Masters of the Immortal orthodoxies present.
Especially the description of the God of Creation, and the Boundless Dao. To most Immortal orthodoxies, they basically only knew these names and knew very little about their actual situation.
This information was too ancient.
The description of the relationship between the six Star Fields when the era was first established made everyone envious.
An era where there was no need to fight or snatch, where one could choose to attack the Heaven Gate at will. How beautiful and desirable was this?
Unfortunately, such a beautiful and glorious era can only be seen in books now.
They would never have the chance to experience it themselves.
Cui Heng nodded slightly and praised with a smile, “Very good, this information is not bad. You can elaborate based on the eras to sort out the changes in the Heaven Realm from the beginning era to the present era. It can be considered as setting a complete framework. Let’s continue. What about after the Primordial Era?”
“Thank you for your praise, Senior.” Lian Heng was overjoyed when he heard this. He nodded and said, “After the initial structure of the world was established, it was an era where order gradually began to collapse. The Ancestral Master of my sect was part of the era called the Era of Chaos…”
In his opinion, Cui Heng was a supreme being that was even older than the Heaven Realm. To obtain the praise of such an existence was indeed a very happy thing.
Next, as Lian Heng described, the situation of this “Era of Chaos” began to gradually appear in front of Cui Heng.
After the Primordial Era ended, although there was no longer a God of Creation above everything, most people still maintained their original lifestyle and lived in peace because of their long-term stable habits.
Unfortunately, this situation did not last long.
Conflicts quickly erupted.
After people crossed the Heavenly Ladder one after another, they were surprised to discover that the characteristics of the Heavenly Ladder contained in the Heaven Gate had actually changed.
They could no longer break through indefinitely like before.
A Heavenly Ladder characteristic could only allow 12 people to transcend within 10,000 years.
The appearance of this restriction directly triggered many levels of conflict.
First was the conflict between the different Star Fields.
Since the characteristics of the Heavenly Ladder could only be obtained by 12 people every 10,000 years, no one would be willing to let people from other Star Fields snatch these 12 spots.
However, there was only one characteristic of the Heavenly Ladder in every Heaven Gate. If one wanted to cross the Second and Third Heavenly Ladder, they had to attack the Heaven Gate in other Star Fields.
This caused a conflict. Battles often erupted, and casualties happened from time to time. However, it had not developed to the extent of a battle of the Great Dao like now.
Other than the conflicts between different Star Fields, there were also huge conflicts in the same Star Field.
It was mainly because of the 12 Heaven Gate realms.
The core contradiction was still the limits of the Heavenly Ladder characteristics.
Within 10,000 years, only 12 people could transcend the Heavenly Ladder.
Whether it was to transcend the First Heavenly Ladder, the Second Heavenly Ladder, or even the Third Heavenly Ladder, one had to compete for the same 12 spots.
And obtaining these 12 spots was not something that could be decided with just a few words and discussion.
It was fought through battle!
Killing!
And scheming!
There were countless methods.
The goal was only to kill their competitors and finally successfully enter the Heaven Gate and cross the Heavenly Ladder to advance their cultivation realm.
This era had no order and was incomparably chaotic. The six Star Fields were filled with killing. It could be said to be an incomparably dark era.
It was also in this era that the number of experts in this sea of stars plummeted.
By the time the Era of Chaos ended, compared to the end of the Primordial Era, there were only less than one-tenth the number of new Heaven Gate realm experts. As for those who had crossed the Heavenly Ladder, there were even fewer.
And the reason why the Era of Chaos could end was because of the appearance of a person.
The Lord of the Heavenly Court.
He was just a peak expert who stood at the end of the 12 Heaven Gate realms. He had also followed the Creation God in the Boundless Dao Realm. He was the closest listener to the Creation God.
Therefore, the Lord of the Heavenly Court was also the person who understood the various theories taught by the God of Creation the most.
Of course, he was also the person with the highest cultivation realm and strength.
Perhaps sensing that the damage caused to the Heaven Realm by the chaotic dispute was too great, the Lord of the Heavenly Court took the initiative to stand up and change everything.
He first took out many of the treasures he had as his foundation and joined forces with many Immortal orthodoxies, including the Eternal Academy, to establish a perfect and strict organization.
This was the Heavenly Court that people later became familiar with.
As the Heavenly Court had gathered almost all the top experts of the Heaven Realm, it had a strong enforcement ability.
Naturally, they had the power to make others listen to their orders and obey their rule.
Hence, under the rule of the Heavenly Court, the 12 candidates to cross the Heavenly Ladder every 10,000 years were no longer decided through chaotic battles.
Instead, they would obtain the qualifications to cross the Heavenly Ladder through the “Heaven Gate Trial”.
The Heaven Gate Trial would be held 12 times within 10,000 years. The 12 people who could cross the Heaven Gate would be chosen in various ways through the trial.
If they had any objections to the person chosen in the end, they could also directly question the Heavenly Court.
At first, this selection method naturally encountered quite a bit of resistance. However, the Heavenly Court had already gathered more than half of the power of the entire Star Field. No one could resist it and they could only choose to accept this system.
In addition, after those who passed the Heaven Gate Trial successfully crossed the Heavenly Ladder, they would be invited by the Heavenly Court and asked if they were willing to join the Heavenly Court.
In the end, most of them naturally chose to join.
As the beneficiaries of this system, they naturally supported it.
As time passed, the Heaven Gate Trial became a publicly acknowledged system.
The voices of opposition gradually decreased until they disappeared.
The Era of the Heavenly Court had begun.
However, the Heaven Gate Trial only eliminated the conflict within the Star Field. If they wanted to transcend the subsequent levels of the Heaven Gate, they had to go to the other Star Fields.
Therefore, the Heavenly Court Era was actually an era where the power of one’s own Star Field was gathered to attack other Star Fields.
Due to the existence of the Heavenly Court, this Star Field was the first to eliminate the internal conflict and gather their strength. Therefore, they had a huge advantage in external battles and easily occupied a foreign Heaven Gate.
This gave the experts of the Heavenly Court a fixed way to transcend the Second Heavenly Ladder.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Court was still fighting a third foreign realm, which was the Outer World that was currently corroding the Heaven Realm.
At that time, both sides had wins and losses and they fought back and forth. This side won most of the time. Every time they won, a group of people would transcend the Second or Third Heavenly Ladder.
As a result, the Star Field ruled by the Heaven Realm and the Heavenly Court entered an era of rapid development. It was also an era where the power of the Heaven Realm was like the midday sun.
Many of the Sect Masters of the Immortal orthodoxies present were experienced people from that era. Most of them had obtained the qualifications to transcend the Heavenly Ladder through the Heaven Gate Trial, which was why they had their current achievements.
At this moment, when they heard Lian Heng telling the story of this era, they could not help but sigh.
These were all their memories.
“Unfortunately, this era was broken by the appearance of the Nine Heavens.” Lian Heng’s tone became emotional. “They are all experts who have crossed the Third Heavenly Ladder and even have extremely extraordinary methods. They even know all the weaknesses of the Lord of the Heavenly Court.
Facing the Nine Heavens, even the Lord of the Heavenly Court had no way of winning. In the end, he was sealed by the Nine Heavens of the Outer World, and the Heavenly Court directly collapsed. The Era of the Heavenly Court also ended.
Next is the scarlet era we’re experiencing now. It’s also jokingly called the Scarlet Apocalypse Era by some people. According to the Nine Heavens of the Outer World, this is a tribulation and punishment sent down by them on behalf of the God of Creation.
They, the Nine Heavens of the Outer World… claim to be followers of the God of Creation.”
