In the core area of the Forbidden God Forest, there exists a paradise for beasts. Here, a super-large city for beasts has been established. The city covers an area of eight hundred square kilometers, and regardless of where you come from or which race you belong to, you can enter this city. Even if you are human, you can take root within this city. This once-glorious city is called the City of Myriad Beasts.
The City of Myriad Beasts, meaning inclusive of all things. Now, with the fall of the original Dragon God, this city has become a ruin. Weeds grow rampant, and bird droppings are scattered everywhere. From the hidden white jade bricks in the grass and the dilapidated statues towering over ten meters high, one can see the former splendor of this city.
Whether it is the Golden Dragon King or the Silver Dragon King, both show a look of sadness upon entering this place. It was because the Dragon God wanted to reform, and after being rejected, declared independence from the God Realm, that she faced the attack from the human Gods led by the Five Supreme Gods.
What?
The Dragon God was attacked by the human Gods and the Five Supreme Gods because she wanted to reform, not because she could not control her emotions, becoming exceedingly evil and violent, which led to the attack from the Five Supreme Gods and the human Gods?
Of course not! History is always written by the victors.
In the past, the God Realm had six Supreme Gods: the God of Destruction, the God of Evil, the God of Asura, the Goddess of Life, the Good Goddess, and the Dragon God.
Initially, there was only one God in the God Realm, which was the Dragon God. Later, the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction appeared; the Goddess of Life created a vibrant God Realm, while the God of Destruction brought an end to life, leading to a phase of cyclical development.
With the birth of life, the thoughts of evil and goodness began to diverge, giving rise to the Good Goddess and the Evil Forest. Life, in order to continue existing, had to kill other lives. Thus, the God of Asura was born.
Over the long years, the Dragon God, the God of Destruction, the God of Evil, the God of Asura, the Goddess of Life, and the Good Goddess coexisted harmoniously. At that time, the God of Evil and the God of Destruction were purely what they represented, untainted by any corruption.
One day, the Goddess of Life proposed to expand the God Realm. This decision was agreed upon by the Five Supreme Gods, including the Dragon God. With her powerful abilities, the Dragon God created the core of the God Realm and one hundred and eight stone pillars for the expansion of the God Realm. Thus, under the leadership of the Dragon God, the God Realm expanded.
As the God Realm expanded, the number of lower realms under its jurisdiction increased, absorbing more and more beliefs, and the God Power of the God Realm grew ever stronger.
The Good Goddess proposed that she could not bear to see the believers in the lower realms dying one by one, suggesting the establishment of a system for ascension, giving those beings in the lower realms some hope for longevity. Thus, the lower realm life welcomed the era of ascension.
From the lower realms under the jurisdiction of the God Realm, apart from humans, even beasts and plants could ascend to the God Realm through diligent cultivation, thus obtaining immortality.
The emergence of a new phenomenon always brings numerous issues that need to be addressed.
When the six Supreme Gods established this ascension system under their leadership, they had not yet noticed any abnormalities. As more and more beings from the lower realms ascended to the God Realm, especially humans with strong emotions, problems began to arise in the God Realm.
The God of Evil was originally pure evil, and the God of Destruction was merely pure destruction. After a long time, the Dragon God noticed that the God of Evil and the God of Destruction were starting to show problems; it was as if they had been tainted and had fallen ill, becoming increasingly extreme in their personalities.
The Dragon God noticed this issue and entered the core of the God Realm to observe. Through her efforts, she indeed discovered the problem. The ascension of lower realm life to the God Realm not only increased the number of Gods and beings in the God Realm but also brought with it a subtle yet powerful aura. It was this aura, known as negative emotions, that was affecting the two Supreme Gods of the God Realm.
When the Dragon God raised this issue, she was met with fierce criticism from the God of Evil and the God of Destruction. After all, if you tell someone with various physiological characteristics that they are ill, they will only curse you for being crazy.
Under pressure, the Dragon God proposed reforms to the God Realm. The life in the lower realms could continue to ascend to the God Realm, but those with evil thoughts and strong emotions should not be allowed to ascend.
Originally, the Dragon God was addressing the issue directly, but to the God of Evil and the God of Destruction, it sounded like an attack against them. The Dragon God's proposal for reform was met with strong opposition from the God of Evil, the God of Destruction, and the already influenced God of Asura.
With no other choice, the Dragon God announced her withdrawal from the God Realm Committee, declaring the independence of the City of Myriad Beasts and initiating the reforms. The Dragon God controlled the core of the God Realm, reforming not only the beast realm but also the platform for human ascension to the God Realm.
This action by the Dragon God drew the attention of the human Gods. Since the God of Asura, the God of Evil, and the God of Destruction were already ill, under the instigation of the human Gods, the God of Asura, the God of Evil, and the God of Destruction took the lead in declaring war against the Divine Beasts led by the Dragon God.
Once the war broke out, the battle reached a stalemate. The Good Goddess, seeing the increasing loss of life in the God Realm, could not bear it and sought out the Goddess of Life. The Goddess of Life performed a life prayer ritual, which resulted in a dire omen.
In the end, the Good Goddess, who had not been involved in the war, and the Goddess of Life were drawn into the conflict, joining the camp of the God of Asura, the God of Evil, and the God of Destruction.
With the help of many human Gods led by the Good Goddess and the Goddess of Life, the Divine Beast army led by the Dragon God suffered continuous defeats. The Nine Dragon Kings under the Dragon God fell one after another. Ultimately, the Dragon God was cleaved in half by the God of Asura's sword, under the restraint of the Goddess of Life, the Good Goddess, the God of Evil, and the God of Destruction.
Even though the Dragon God's body was split in two, at the last moment, she used her divine powers, with one half forming the Golden Dragon King, inheriting the Dragon God's powerful physique and destructive power. The other half formed the Silver Dragon King, inheriting the Dragon God's wisdom and control over the elements.
This battle was, in fact, a war between the reformists and the traditionalists of the God Realm. Whether the truth of the matter is as such, Mu Chen cannot judge, as he currently lacks the divine ability to reverse time and cannot return to the past to see if things truly happened this way.
Although he does not know the truth of the matter, Mu Chen still supports the Dragon God's view. For lower realm life to become divine, they only need to complete the so-called nine trials. However, there is no examination of a person's moral character, which is evidently wrong for the stability of the God Realm.
"Here we are!"
The Silver Dragon King gazed at a flat area ahead.
The flat area was not small, covering seven hundred acres. What caught the eye was a rugged terrain of protruding stones, along with over a thousand armored God Realm Hunters.
