Eternal Holy Emperor

Chapter 1112 - 1017: Burying an Era, Opening a Door

"Do you want to be beaten?"

The voice came from the Goddess, melodious as heaven’s music, yet very commanding.

"You—"

The Sun King was about to speak, but everyone in Ye Chen’s direction swiftly turned to look at him, even the Golden Little Divine Dragon and Yiyi, who were feasting, glanced his way.

Each displayed their Divine Power, eyes cold, filled with murderous intent.

If the Sun King dared to make a move then, they would surely attack collectively.

Seeing this, even the Sun King could only snort coldly, because that group of people was indeed not to be provoked, unless Di Wushuang and two others stood by his side.

This also allowed other powerhouses on the Ancient Emperor Continent to breathe a sigh of relief and feel some goodwill towards Ye Chen, the Crownless Emperor.

"Alright, everyone, I invited you here to discuss grand matters like the Heavenly Earth Chess Game, not to quarrel or fight, so please calm down."

Di Wushuang intervened to stop them, his words calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.

Then he looked at all the mighty figures present, pausing slightly, and said, "Since some of you are not quite clear, let me explain."

"The Heavenly Earth Chess Game is actually the Eternal Chess Game set up by the Great Power Level Dominators during the Era of Gods!"

As soon as he spoke, Di Wushuang dropped an extremely shocking bombshell, causing a huge stir!

This kind of secret had long been buried in history, even the ancient 36 empires were not very clear, with few historical relics from the Era of Gods revealed.

And those who lived in that era are almost extinct, who can understand it?

Almost everyone’s expression changed dramatically, but the Sun King, Eternal Night Dark King, and Mystic Sky Saintess looked natural, clearly, the Three Mysterious Holy Lands had known it before.

"Please, Emperor’s son, explain in detail." The Old Heavenly King, who had taken over as the sovereign of the nation, spoke gravely, seeing the immense relevance of such secrets.

Why did the Great Power Level Dominators of the Era of Gods set such a Heavenly Earth Chess Game, and plotting across eternity, what was the purpose?

None of them knew, even though Ye Chen had traveled the entire Ancient Emperor Continent over the years, entered the 36 empires, visited the strongholds of the Demon and Beast Races, and ventured into dangerous secret realms and ancient star regions, gaining only some guesses.

Regarding Di Wushuang’s words, he wasn’t too surprised because he had already understood parts of it, but why the layout, what the real reason was, and the main cause of the Era of Gods’ demise, even he did not fully know.

Now, for Di Wushuang to speak voluntarily was the best way to understand.

Di Wushuang did not conceal it, saying, "You all know, on the Ancient Emperor Continent, there was once a glorious era beyond imagination, known as the Era of Gods, claimed as coexisting with Divines, unimaginably powerful."

"During that era, strength reached the extreme, and the so-called Divines, one Heavenly King after another was born, and even Great Power Level Dominators appeared, more than just one or two."

"Such an era, such a great world, was of the utmost brilliance, let alone the Ancient Emperor Realm, even the vast Heavenly and Myriads of Realms struggled to produce so many Ancient Great Powers in the same era."

"Naturally, after flourishing came downfall, and the Era of Gods perished, gods fell, and those Supreme Tyrants who once dominated the rise and fall of the Era of Gods almost all perished, leaving the desolate Ancient Emperor Continent and the scars of a thousand ages."

All present understood that era, but Ye Chen was most puzzled despite the understanding.

Though the Emperor Realm was developed by Ancient Great Emperor to be a great world heaven and earth, it wasn’t supposed to produce so many Heavenly Kings nor few Great Power Level Dominators.

Everyone knows Heavenly and Myriads of Realms is more vast than the Emperor Realm, contains more abundant nature’s spiritual energy, yet also struggles to birth so many powerhouses in the same era.

One must understand, the balance of the world demands loss leading to gain.

Both Heavenly Kings and Ancient Great Powers were born by swallowing massive amounts of nature’s spiritual energy and fortune, hindering others’ birth potential.

Only when such individuals fall, their Dao dissipates into the world, could there exist the chance to birth other Supreme Powerhouses.

Yet, the Emperor Realm, by any means, does not seem capable of producing so many invincible powerhouses.

This point constantly puzzled Ye Chen, as he traversed the world, subduing various clans, delving into historical relics, and even interacting with sealed powerhouses of the Era of Gods, still finding no answer.

He felt there must be a significant reason inside.

But Di Wushuang did not elaborate on it, instead unveiling other mysteries of the Era of Gods: "The destruction of the Era of Gods, in your minds, in your understanding, I’m sure it’s confusing how it precisely happened, why it suddenly perished."

"Wasn’t it the gods competing for supremacy, battling to dominate the Ancient Emperor Continent’s tides, striving for the position of first Supreme Powerhouses?" A Heavenly King from one Empire voiced, one of the most widespread reasons across the world, gaining broad acceptance.

That era was overflowing with heavenly prides, surged with gods, continuation of brilliance over tens of thousands of years, peerlessly powerful, ancient and unmatched.

But the supreme tyrants, no one submitted to another, contesting for the first place, testing who was stronger or weaker, thus battling at their peaks, leaving behind a ruined Ancient Emperor Continent.

Of course, there were other hypotheses, like someone obtaining forbidden artifacts, provoking a struggle among powerhouses.

Perhaps a treasure for attaining Dao appeared, igniting a Great Tribulation.

There might have been factors leading Supreme Tyrants to take action, eventually causing chain reactions, triggering the whole Ancient Emperor Continent in a divine war.

Many similar hypotheses exist, but no one knows the real reason, even those sealed from the Era of Gods couldn’t possibly know because they missed the Great Destruction War, unaware of it.

Moreover, those individuals were considered lucky as ninety-nine percent of those sealed during that era were affected by the war, perished unknowingly during sleep.

"You were all wrong, the Era of Gods didn’t perish because of competing for the first supremacy, nor for dominating the world," Di Wushuang shook his head, "That era was too flourishing, too strong, Great Power Level figures appeared more than one or two, each side controlled their own realms, incapable of easily starting a war."

"Then what is the real reason?" Ye Chen also questioned, eyes flickering with curiosity and inquiry.

Di Wushuang replied, "Because of a plan."

"A plan?"

Everyone was surprised and suspicious, what plan?

Di Wushuang said, one word at a time, "To bury an era, and open a door!"
