Chapter 1817

At that time, the Heaven-Shaking Arrow was the only Primordial-level Qi Luck Slaughter Supreme Treasure in the Myriad Heavens World; all major clans' Qi Luck Supreme Treasures dared not clash head-on with it.

Moreover, with the Holy Ape Demon Emperor lending aid, the two invincible powerhouses together guided humanity into the ranks of the Myriad Heavens World's top clans.

The War God State was founded then and remained glorious for a very long time.

With these two supreme powerhouses shielding the human populace, every talented youth finally got a chance to rise; many strong warriors emerged, Venerables appeared one after another, and humanity was no longer the weak clan easy to bully.

Over a span of more than ten million years, humanity remained the main character on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield; the War God State's territory was vast beyond compare, and many strong warriors from other clans also joined in.

At that time, the War God State's culture was richly diverse, a scene of myriad flowers blooming and myriad schools contending; consequently, even though humanity has since declined, its various cultural traits still prevail among the clans.

In terms of strength, at its peak, humanity alone had twenty-one Venerables!

Furthermore, it occupied the two legendary secret realms of the Boundless Immortal Realm and Star Realm Mountain, its fame unrivaled for a time.

Even as formidable as the Savage Beast Clan, they dared not openly oppose humanity; major wars were almost nonexistent, only minor frictions occurred.

Alas, no matter how glorious the golden age, it too will have an ending day.

One million years ago in Myriad Heavens time, the Holy Ape Demon Emperor went offline due to affairs in the Real World.

In the Real World, each year that passes equals a thousand years in the Game World.

His departure lasted tens of thousands of years.

Losing one invincible powerhouse, humanity's dominion began to waver.

At first it was fine; the strong ones of all clans thought the Holy Ape Demon Emperor was merely away temporarily.

But after tens of thousands of years with no sign of his return, many strong ones speculated whether he had perished.

Consequently, friction increased, and those refusing to submit grew ever more numerous.

The Triumphant Great Emperor suppressed rebellions several times, yet could not quell the various clans' strong ones' hearts of defiance.

Over a continuous hundred thousand years, thousands of battles big and small drained the clans' fighting strength heavily, causing many Venerables to fall as well.

Later the Holy Ape Demon Emperor came back online, and the friction temporarily ceased.

Yet after another tens of thousands of years, the Holy Ape Demon Emperor went offline again!

This time the clans' strong ones no longer endured; when the Holy Ape Demon Emperor's aura vanished, a long-planned great decisive battle began.

That battle was extraordinarily brutal, as if heaven and earth were darkened and the sun and moon dimmed.

Not only did the Myriad Heavens Battlefield shatter into fragments, but even the outer starry space became a battlefield; countless stars were smashed, Star Realm Mountain was broken off a segment, and the Boundless Immortal Realm turned into a forbidden land.

The final result, as Xiao Feng saw, was that the War God State became the War Ancient State, turning into historical dust.

Humans were also nearly wiped out.

As the Dao Ancestor, Cang Qiong Zhu still acted at the war's end, using the Region-Suppressing Demon Curse Stele to completely end the era of the War God State.

By the time the Holy Ape Demon Emperor logged in again, humanity had only a few remnants left, barely surviving in the corners of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

The Myriad Demons Sect existed in name only, becoming the Calamity Demon Clan scattered across the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, with only the dominion over the Myriad Phenomena Forest not lost.

The disheartened Holy Ape Demon Emperor had no interest in rebuilding a great clan, and he also heard that the virtual universe was about to be completed and would soon go live.

He wanted to completely bid farewell to the virtual universe and never log in again.

But then he encountered a cute little fairy—Xuan Die.

He thus couldn't help but take on a disciple, imparting numerous secret arts to her and telling her everything he had experienced.

After that, Xiao Feng basically knew everything.

This story was about the human race; Chen Jie explained it in detail, and Xiao Feng listened attentively.

The two walked far along the beach and stopped at a sheltered little bay.

"I never expected the Holy Ape Demon Emperor to have gone through so much. Sigh, Senior Xuan Die…"

Hearing the rise and fall of humanity, Xiao Feng's mood was already heavy, and he couldn't help but think of Xuan Die, making him feel even worse.

Chen Jie knew Xuan Die wasn't actually dead, but she didn't want to ruin others' plans, so she didn't tell Xiao Feng.

She said, "Can Kong is generous, open-minded, and also hot-blooded. Being his friend is a great experience; if you get the chance, you should meet him."

"We met before, but because of Senior Xuan Die's death, I'm afraid I won't have that honor." Xiao Feng said with a bitter smile.

Chen Jie smiled but said nothing.

Keeping some things from him and seeing his troubled expression was rather amusing.

After a while, she continued, "You are now to take your Xiao Mi to receive the inheritance of the Triumphant Great Emperor; when the time comes, don't be greedy—give it all to her, you're not suited for it."

Xiao Feng nodded, "All right, I will now pursue a specialization path, contemplating only the material laws."

Even the heavenly Dao's laws he would give up.

That path, let Xun Shuang take it.

"Will Xiao Mi become stronger after receiving the inheritance?" Xiao Feng asked.

Chen Jie gave a slight nod, "That's natural; I estimate she should break through to become a high-level god king, becoming the second strongest among all your women."

High-level god king?

That is indeed quite strong, and it's not an ordinary god king but a god king who has received the inheritance of the Triumphant Great Emperor!

However…

Xiao Feng glanced at the girl beside him and joked, "Who knows, she might become the third strongest in a while."

"Pah, wishful thinking!" Chen Jie snapped.

He then reminded him, "When the time comes, your Xiao Mi's divine blood can be used to activate the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, but don't drain her completely, or I won't help you revive her."

"Uh… that definitely won't happen; I cherish her, so I'd never bear to drain her blood." Xiao Feng said matter-of-factly.

Chen Jie gave a faint smile, "Without the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, how could you kill a level-3000 Stellar Lord?"

"I, uh…"

Xiao Feng was momentarily at a loss for words.

The level-3000 Stellar Lord's strength is comparable to that of the primordial Chaos Emperor, and he now indeed finds it somewhat hard to contend with.

But using the Heaven-Shaking Arrow comes at a high cost; he is also reluctant to let Xiao Mi damage his vital energy.

Even in a situation of utter desperation, he would use it at most once.

"Speaking of which, you've finished explaining the Ages Chronicle, and now you're telling me this—does that count as leaking the strategy?" Xiao Feng changed the subject.

Chen Jie remained calm: "I can do as I please; other Primordial Ancestors can't do anything to me, and the Creator God won't strike me either."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Feng looked eager and said: "Then leak some useful info to me, like where to get more 9th-rank Supreme Treasures, Primordial Sacred Artifacts, where to— ow, don't hit my face!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was punched and fell onto the beach.

Actually, he didn't use much force; he was just pretending to fall.

Chen Jie curled his lip: "I only speak when I want to; otherwise, don't ask."

"Um, okay, I'll obey the Dao Ancestor Sister's decree~" Xiao Feng gave an embarrassed smile.

He brushed off the sand on his body and sat down again.

"Finished explaining the human race's history, do you still need to talk about other ethnic groups?" he asked.

Chen Jie shook his head: "There's not much to say about other races' histories; if you want to know, I'll tell you later about the powerful beings from each race that threaten you."

"Um, why wait? Isn't now fine?" Xiao Feng wondered.

Chen Jie said speechlessly: "Look at the time, little bro—you should go online to cultivate."

Recounting the past ages in detail took up most of the day, and now the sun is already setting.

When Xiao Feng logged off, it was still morning; he had played with her for a long time, chatted for a long time, plus the earlier time spent with Xiao Mi exploring ruins and traveling, the 12-hour cultivation interval was indeed approaching.

Alright...

Xiao Feng sighed with a hint of regret.

Then he asked her: "When can I invite the Dao Ancestor Sister to drink soy milk again?"

In response, came the sound of his joints being pinched, making a crackling noise.

Immediately after, a brutal, inhumane beating took place on the beach, the screams drowned out by the sound of waves.

After several minutes, Chen Jie grabbed Xiao Feng's leg, walked over from the beach, and dragged him home face-down.
