Chapter 344: The Ancient Divine Court

There are gods in this world, just like in the Mythical World, including mountain gods, earth gods, water gods, and so on.

Of course, compared to those deities in myths, the strength of the gods in this world is just so-so.

The fiend who wanted to possess Su Fan is also an earth god, a god of mountains and land, born of heaven and earth.

Just like those primordial great gods in myths.

These deities were extremely powerful in the ancient era; once they gained intelligence, they possessed profound cultivation, and their strength would increase continuously thereafter.

Powerful deities reaching the Three Flowers Realm, or even the Divine Court Lord, were at the Tianren He Yi Realm, the ceiling of this world.

Of course, that person has already died, and it is unknown how many years ago they died.

However, the deities were indeed powerful; in the ancient era, the Human Race was not yet the protagonist of this world, as the Hundred Tribes vied for supremacy, and the deities controlled the Divine Court, acting as the masters of heaven and earth.

The Hundred Tribes and all things were entirely under the control of the Divine Court, all submitting to the Divine Court.

On the eve of the Three Sovereigns, the Human Race was only a part of the Divine Court, and the Heavenly Sovereign of the Three Sovereigns was merely a high-ranking official within the Divine Court.

It was only later, during the great war of the Hundred Tribes, that the Divine Court fell into internal strife, and at this time, the emperors of the Human Race began to seize the opportunity to rise.

Furthermore, the Three Sovereigns united and dealt a heavy blow to that Divine Court Lord in one stroke; from then on, the chaos of the Hundred Tribes that had lasted for thousands of years declined, while the Human Race moved toward prosperity.

Afterward, generation after generation of Human Sovereigns continuously pursued the will of the Three Sovereigns, increasing their enterprising spirit; the strength of the Human Race grew stronger and stronger, and the Hundred Tribes eventually dissipated.

And this vast Divine Court also eventually dissipated, and those deities of the Divine Court, under the pursuit of the Human Race, slowly hid in treacherous mountains and rivers.

From then on, the Human Race stood alone, becoming the true masters of heaven and earth.

However, after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ended, as the Human Race gradually entered the era of hereditary rule, their strength was severely depleted due to internal strife.

The remaining deities of the Divine Court united and began to involve themselves in the internal affairs of the Human Race.

These deities have long lifespans, especially these heaven and earth deities; they are almost immortal.

In the late Xia, they deluded the monarch, causing chaos throughout the world, and the strength of the Human Race was depleted once again; it was thanks to the rise of Shang Tang of the Shang Dynasty that the Xia was annihilated in one stroke, and during this period, several great gods were also severely wounded, forcing the Divine Court to hide once again.

Later, in the late Shang Dynasty, the deities recovered a portion of their power, and then they again deluded the feudal lords everywhere to rebel against the Shang.

In particular, the Divine Court produced an expert, Taiyi Shenhuang, whose cultivation was earth-shattering, and he restored the Divine Court.

Zhou Wang of the Shang Dynasty, in order to resist the Divine Court, did not hesitate to pay the price with his own life, directly dealing a heavy blow to Taiyi Shenhuang.

One must know that although there were many experts among the Human Race at that time, the Tianren He Yi Realm no longer existed.

And that Taiyi Shenhuang had reached the Tianren He Yi Realm, the true ceiling; only by using the added Qi of Luck of the Shang Dynasty at that time to break through his limits was Zhou Wang able to barely deal him a heavy blow.

However, he died, the National Destiny of the Shang Dynasty was consumed, and it was finally destroyed by Wu Wang.

Yet, at this time, the Divine Court was already extremely powerful, and the Great Zhou was simply no match for the Divine Court; even though Taiyi Shenhuang disappeared, the deities under the Divine Court also threatened the Great Zhou.

Having no choice, Wu Wang chose to submit, and the Human Race no longer had Human Emperors or Human Kings, but instead became sons of the Divine Court, nominally the Son of Heaven.

Next, after the Divine Court became the sole power, it slowly fell into a struggle for power and profit, and the world also fell into the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period.

This Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, which lasted for thousands of years, not only severely depleted the strength of the Human Race, but the Divine Court was also severely wounded again, especially by those hegemons of the Human Race who resisted the Divine Court and overturned it once more.

This old fiend originated from the Great Zhou period; he was originally a demon god who accidentally discovered a dying mountain god, killed him, and possessed the other's origin, thus becoming a mountain god.

After all, he was not a deity born of heaven and earth; despite possessing the body to become a mountain god, his lifespan was much shorter than that of a true mountain god.

For this reason, he had no choice but to possess others continuously, whether they were of the Human Race, the Demon Race, or deities.

In these one hundred thousand years, he has possessed others countless times.

It was also thanks to the origin of that mountain god that he was able to succeed; his last possession was Liuzhi Heixia of the Mohist School.

This Liuzhi Heixia was himself a genius of the Human Race, who had reached the Profound Realm at a young age, and even had the hope of entering the Dao before the age of fifty, reaching the Five Qi Morning Origin Realm and becoming a true great power.

Unfortunately, Liuzhi Heixia ran into this person and was possessed by him; however, it is unknown whether he suffered punishment from the Heavenly Dao because he had defied heaven too much through his possessions.

Just after he possessed the body, when he was at his weakest, he encountered Dongjun Yanfei and that Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School.

The other party saw through his state at a glance, and then joined forces with Dongjun Yanfei; the two, one having just entered the Five Qi Morning Origin Realm and the other having the combat power of about the Three Flowers Realm.

And this old fiend originally had the strength of the Three Flowers Realm, but unfortunately, after the possession, he fell into a weak period, and his strength could only reach the peak of the Five Qi Morning Origin Realm.

Suppressed by the two working together, he managed to escape with his life, and then this physical body of Liuzhi Heixia was also cursed by the Yin-Yang School, and in the end, he had to entrust his Divine Soul to this Soul-Hosting Jade.

Finally, he ran into Su Fan, and the possession failed.

After viewing the other's memories, Su Fan also sighed that this world is really not that simple.

After the Profound Realm comes entering the Dao, entering the Dao to the Five Qi Morning Origin, then the spirit and Qi condense into the Three Flowers, and finally the Tianren He Yi.

It is said that after Tianren He Yi comes shattering the void and leaving this world; there is a legend that the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race reached the point of shattering the void and leaving this world.

The memory of this old fiend also contains fragmented information, but after all, he was not a person from the era of the Three Sovereigns, so he is not clear about this either.

But Tianren He Yi is the ceiling of combat power in this world.

In the Divine Court, several experts of the Tianren He Yi Realm appeared, but the Human Race was not bad either; at their peak, the Human Race had four in the same generation, which is also the reason why the Human Race was able to replace the Hundred Tribes.

It is just that the deities in the Divine Court have almost endless lifespans, as if they live as long as heaven and earth, so the Divine Court could never be destroyed.

When the Human Race became strong, those deities would hide, and in this way, the Human Race could do nothing.

Once the Human Race became weak, they would run out to stir up trouble, and at one point, they even became the masters of the Human Race.

During the Great Zhou period, the Divine Court once recovered its powerful strength.

But later, the Human Race strove to become stronger and destroyed the Divine Court again, killing several great gods, which has led to the Divine Court having no reputation today.

Of course, Su Fan knows that the high-level officials of the Great Qin must definitely know, and Su Fan believes that that Ancestral Dragon is definitely thinking about how to completely wipe out this Divine Court.

The great talent and bold vision of the Ancestral Dragon go without saying; he must be trying every possible way to clear out this malignant tumor.
