Chapter 947: Cutting Off the Path to Heaven!
Lachlan and Adele both looked at the figure in gray with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.
It seemed that the other party was about to reveal some hidden secrets of this world!
“Rebirth by borrowing a body?”
Lachlan wondered aloud.
The figure in gray’s expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, “That’s right! To explain this, we need to start from the entire universe.
This universe is divided into three thousand major worlds and countless minor worlds.
The Earth we live on is just one of those countless minor worlds.
In ancient times, this minor world was also a place where gods fought for supremacy, and the cultivation civilization was incredibly brilliant.
However, as Earth’s spiritual energy gradually thinned, the cultivation civilization on Earth declined. Eventually, even ordinary Qi Refinement practitioners became extremely rare in the secular world.
We cultivators could only hide in specific sects or family domains, relying on the relatively rich spiritual energy there to practice.
Whether it’s the three thousand major worlds or minor worlds like Earth, they all have their own Heaven’s Will.
The reason Earth’s spiritual energy has gradually thinned is not because this world’s spiritual energy is truly exhausted, but because Earth’s Heaven’s Will did it on purpose!”
“Heaven’s Will did it on purpose?”
Lachlan asked in surprise.
Adele also looked curious!
“That’s right! Earth’s Heaven’s Will deliberately gathered the spiritual energy into the inner world of Earth and did not release it outward!”
The figure in gray nodded.
“Why? Why would Heaven’s Will do that?”
Lachlan asked with a frown.
“For self-preservation! If the spiritual energy were allowed to nurture various powerful beings, cultivators, great demons, and divine beasts, then the cultivation civilization of ancient times would still be brilliant. However, at the same time, various peak battles would also be endless.
Sooner or later, Earth would be destroyed by the battles of cultivators.
A powerful Fragmented Void cultivator can level a mountain with a single strike.
A Great Vehicle stage expert can cut through mountain ranges with one sword, and those who undergo tribulation can move mountains and fill seas with a wave of their hand.
You may not know this, but ten thousand years ago, an entire continent on Earth was sunk due to a great battle between two powerful cultivation factions!”
The figure in gray spoke with a hint of dread and a touch of longing in his expression.
Lachlan and Adele were both shocked and incredulous at what they heard.
They were no longer low-level cultivators themselves.
But they still couldn’t imagine that human power could sink a continent.
What kind of means and power would that require?
“Two factions?”
After his initial shock, Lachlan calmed down and asked about the key point in the gray figure’s words.
“That’s right! At that time, the cultivation civilization was incredibly brilliant, and Earth’s Heaven’s Will had already realized this crisis.
Therefore, Heaven’s Will made a decision: restrict the spiritual energy and close off the star paths!”
As he spoke of this, the gray figure’s expression turned solemn.
“Close off the star paths?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Lachlan raised an eyebrow.
“That’s right! Restricting the spiritual energy was to curb the cultivation civilization of this world and prevent Earth’s cultivators from threatening the safety of this world.
Closing off the star paths was to sever any possible connections between this world and other cultivation civilizations.
To prevent other worlds’ cultivation civilizations from invading Earth and threatening this world.”
The figure in gray sighed and said, “And closing off the star paths essentially means cutting off the path to ascension for Earth’s cultivators.
From then on, the path to heaven was severed, and Fengdu was sealed!
Immortals do not enter the world, and demons do not disturb humans!
Even if Earth’s cultivators reach the peak of the late tribulation stage, they will no longer attract heavenly tribulations, nor will there be a five-colored star path allowing them to step onto the ancient star road and enter more prosperous major worlds.”
As he spoke, he gazed into a certain direction as if there was an invisible star road there.
However, that road to the nine heavens was sealed by countless shackles formed by Heaven’s Will!
The path was cut off!
Hearing this, Lachlan and Adele couldn’t help but frown.
“The path for cultivators to continue advancing is cut off?”
Lachlan asked in a deep voice.
“That’s right! In other words, Earth’s cultivators can only reach the peak of the late tribulation stage; they cannot advance any further.
They will forever be trapped in this world.
Like fierce beasts trapped in a cage, as long as Earth’s Heaven’s Will exists, they will never be able to leave!”
The figure in gray nodded solemnly.
Lachlan and Adele exchanged glances and saw the same look of shock and doubt in each other’s eyes.
It was as if they could foresee themselves becoming one of those trapped beasts in the future.
