Chapter 1747: The Epoch Begins, All Things Are Renewed (First Update, Please Subscribe)

Chat Group.

Su Xiaoxiao: "What a sight, truly a sight. Who would have thought the disciples of the Jiao Sect would be rushing to die!"

Xiaomai: "So magical."

Ye Hei: "Did they have a choice? Although they are disciples of the Jiao Sect, their path had already come to an end."

Han Paopao: "Indeed. Their talent was insufficient to prove the Dao and become a Quasi-Saint, and they had no shortcuts. Only the Saint position of the new epoch could let them fantasize a little."

Touma Kazusa: "Just a fantasy? Didn't Taixuan-ge say anyone has a chance to prove the Dao and become a Saint?"

Hu Yifei: "In the real world, anyone can still try to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, or Tokyo University. Young Lady Kazusa, if you hadn't joined the chat group, could you have gotten in?"

Xiaomai: "A bit difficult."

Su Xiaoxiao: "There's no helping it, there's only one Saint position. Taixuan-ge allowing them to compete freely is already far more enlightened than Dao Ancestor Hongjun."

Ye Hei: "Yeah. That is a Saint position, after all. Even though most people knew they were just running alongside, they had no complaints. After all, they competed and simply weren't a match — you gamble, you accept the loss."

Han Paopao: "This really is a good opportunity."

As the disciples of the Jiao Sect reincarnated, a massive amount of spiritual energy was returned to heaven and earth.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the entire world rose by several tenths.

"Now that all matters are concluded, it is time to restart the epoch. The next epoch shall be the Epoch of Calamity. All living beings shall no longer cultivate the immortal Dao of spiritual energy, but shall cultivate the power of calamity — through enduring calamities to become immortals, through enduring calamities to become Saints!"

Zhang Taixuan's voice carried an air of solemn authority, reaching every corner of the Three Realms.

In an instant, all living beings between heaven and earth felt a force of restraint descend upon them. Apart from the disciples of the Taixuan Sect, not a single person could absorb even a wisp of spiritual energy.

Even though the spiritual energy was within their perception, they could not stir it.

At the same time, a cultivation method based on the power of calamity was branded upon heaven and earth; anyone with the aspiration for longevity could practice it.

Yet achieving longevity through the power of calamity was, admittedly, somewhat absurd.

Enduring all calamities without dying required no small amount of fortune.

An ordinary person, in a single lifetime, endured calamities that could only let them accumulate a bit of strength — the distance to becoming an immortal was immeasurably far.

In the new epoch, even for the greatest genius, achieving immortality in a single lifetime had become a luxury.

As the calamity-power system was established as the mainstream by the Heavenly Dao, cultivators were instantly plunged into despair.

"No—!"

"Heaven is unjust!"

In an instant, the Dao heart of many cultivators shattered.

Within just a few days, three-tenths of cultivators underwent dissolution and reincarnated away.

No choice!

Faced with the Heavenly Dao, there was simply no choice!

An arm cannot twist a thigh!

Apart from embracing the path of the new epoch, they had no other choice.

One month later, throughout the entire Investiture of the Gods world, immortals and gods below Quasi-Saint had nearly vanished — all had reincarnated.

The massive reincarnation of immortals and gods, with spiritual energy returning, made the entire world extraordinarily prosperous.

The demon race had originally thought their era had arrived.

The result — they were the same, unable to cultivate the path of the demon core.

The increase in spiritual energy could, at most, allow them to awaken their spiritual intelligence.

The demon race had no choice but to let the demons who had awakened their intelligence learn human script, gain wisdom, comprehend the Ten Thousand Calamities Dao Scripture, and then reincarnate to cultivate.

Mount Kunlun.

Randeng and Guangchengzi wore expressions of dejection.

In the new epoch, the heavens had given living beings two paths.

One path: cultivate the power of calamity.

The other path: those above Quasi-Saint could open up heaven and earth, become a Primordial, and repay the karmic debts of heaven and earth.

In the end, not a single immortal on Mount Kunlun received the Famen bestowed by heaven and earth.

"No need to wait any longer!"

"The new epoch is destined to be the Epoch of Calamity. If we keep waiting, we might just let others who reincarnated first gain the upper hand."

Randeng stood up, no longer hesitating. His body ignited, returning spiritual energy to heaven and earth, and his Primordial Spirit headed straight for the Underworld.

At the same time, within the Underworld, a memorial was also submitted upward to the Heavenly Court.

Guangchengzi, Chi Jingzi, and the others saw this, fell silent for a moment, and also chose dissolution.
