Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 280: Ch 280: Events Of The Past (1)

Slivya began recounting the story to Emrys from the very beginning, and by the time she finished, Emrys was left in a state of utter shock. He was dumbfounded upon learning the truth.

It turned out that everything began roughly ten million years ago, during an era when the universe thrived with Soul Cultivation geniuses. There were billions of Eternal Sky Soul Masters. The number of Celestial Spirit Soul Masters and those below them was beyond measure.

At that time, Eternal Sky Soul Masters could ascend to the Spiritarium through the Ascension Gates after advancing to the next stage of cultivation.

No one knows who created the Ascension Gates, but these gates can connect to the Spiritarium, which in itself is a matter worth contemplating.

Anyway, no one ever questioned or even thought of looking for information related to the creator of Ascension Gates.

One thing, however, is for sure that the creator of these Ascension Gates must be an unfathomable expert. After all, the runes on the surface of these Ascension Gates were very ancient and filled with ancient divine power. Understanding them is not that simple. Even those top experts sitting high above in Spiritarium can hardly understand these runes.

Most importantly, in the entire Spiritarium, this universe was the only one that had hundreds of Ascension Gates.

It has to be known that Spiritarium is a Cosmic Field with countless universes. Among them all, this universe was unique and different from all, because only it has Ascension Gates and a way to enter Spiritarium.

As for how Slivya knew this information so clearly, she gave credit to an ancient book passed down from ancient times. According to her, this book was kept safely in the treasure house of Crimson Sky Palace, a powerful force that keeps every Eternal Sky Soul Master of Celestial Horizon in check.

On the surface Crimson Sky Palace is controlled by a bunch of Mystical Mist Soul Masters and Celestial Spirit Soul Masters, however, in reality, it is controlled by several Eternal Sky Soul Masters. There is also a rumor that says that the true owner of this force is a Soul Master who has long since surpassed the limit of this universe, however, for some special reason, he was unable to use the Ascensio Gate to enter Spiritarium.

Rumor also says that that expert survived the war 10 million years ago, however, he was injured. In the end, he used a special method to divide his soul into hundreds of fragments. Each of his soul fragments reincarnated with different bodies but with the same source.

There is not much known about that expert. Only his name is known—Barnes. [Ref Ch- 210.]

Coming back to the point, ten million years ago, experts from the Spiritarium suddenly waged war against this universe for some unknown reason. Due to the laws of the universe and the rules of the Spiritarium, no being above the rank of Eternal Sky Soul Master could descend and enter this universe. This limitation became the root cause that prolonged the war, causing it to drag on for the next hundred thousand years.

During that war, tens of millions of Celestial Spirit Soul Masters and Eternal Sky Soul Masters from both the universe and Spiritarium fell. The number of Soul Masters below the Celestial Spirit Stage is uncountable.

The war seemed endless. It was as if the war would never end.

It was a terrifying period with horrifying battles everywhere.

In the end, the war shattered the laws of the universe and pushed back the rules of the Spiritarium, creating a rare opportunity for powerful Spiritarium experts to descend into this universe.

If everything had gone orderly, this universe would have been destroyed. However, as the universe’s laws fractured and the Spiritarium’s rules receded, a fragment of the Spiritarium broke away and fell into this universe, merging with it and becoming part of its fabric.

At the time, no one paid much attention to this occurrence, but soon, things began to change in ways no one had anticipated.

The Spiritarium’s fragments, still imbued with the Spiritarium’s rules, began to influence the universe’s laws. This interference created chaos and distortions, disrupting the natural balance of the universe.

Neighboring worlds where this fragment had landed started experiencing anomalies. For a period, time started to flow irregularly. Spatial dimensions twisted and the essence of cultivation itself began to mutate. This disarray left countless experts bewildered and powerless to restore order, as the very foundation of the universe seemed to be unraveling.

During that period, formidable experts descended from the Spiritarium, seeking to exploit the chaos and annihilate the universe. However, ascended experts who had once originated from this universe returned to defend it. After all, this universe was their homeland, their place of origin. If it were destroyed, their roots, families, and everything they cherished would be lost forever. They couldn’t stand by and watch their birthplace fall into ruin. These returning experts clashed with the invaders.

Thus, the battles that followed were cataclysmic, shaking the very core of the universe. This war was several times more terrifying than the war between Eternal Sky Soul Masters of the universe and Spiritarium.

The returning warriors fought with everything they had. They formed alliances with the remaining Eternal Sky Soul Masters and other powerful cultivators of the universe, creating an unprecedented resistance force.

Despite their efforts, the invaders had the upper hand due to the fragmented Spiritarium’s influence, which already pushed the universe’s laws to distort and shatter.

It was at that time that a powerful expert descended. His strength could not be gauged. With just a wave of his hand, he suppressed all those Soul Masters. Then the first thing he did was block the Ascension Gates, cutting the path of ascension of this universe.

The Soul Masters of this generation may misinterpret his actions from back then, but in truth, he acted to stabilize the universe, whose laws had fallen into chaos. Remaining connected with Spiritarium would have led to the invasion of Spiritarium’s rules due to the influence of its fragments. At that point, no one would have been able to save this universe from destruction.
