Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 657 - 045 End

The destruction of the Silver Era began with the contention of numerous extraordinary cultivation paths.

When the native cultivation paths from each of the parallel worlds outside the Main World were introduced and flourished within it, the ensuing struggle of myriad paths was an inevitable outcome.

Sects, ideologies, interests, factions... countless causes intertwined, leading to the inevitable outbreak of war.

A vast number of extraordinary cultivation paths were annihilated, and the victors even invaded the parallel planes that were the source of enemy extraordinary power systems, thoroughly cleansing their strongholds.

This was an incredibly brutal war.

The number of living beings involved exceeded even those affected by the war that ended the Golden Era, with countless beings perishing in this struggle of myriad paths.

Until the very end of the war,

numerous parallel planes were destroyed, and the Main World, turned into a blood mill, was reduced to ruins, a sea of corpses, a mountain of bones, with the terrifying battle even threatening the foundation of the Multi-universe's existence.

In the end,

the cultivation systems of Magic and Fighting Qi emerged victorious in a gruesome manner, but by then, neither side had the strength to continue the fight.

Thus, peace was restored.

The Bronze Era commenced.

Compared to the long history of the Golden and Silver Eras, the Bronze Era could only be considered relatively short.

A million years ago,

the struggle of myriad paths ultimately saw the Magic and Fighting Qi extraordinary cultivation systems win in a tragic fashion, gradually expanding, and slowly becoming the absolute mainstream in the recovering Multi-universe.

The once numerous cultivation systems either perished without heirs or were deemed heretical and destroyed by the victors of the struggle of myriad paths.

Within the Main World, though devastated,

sporadic conflicts occasionally erupted in some places, but overall stability prevailed.

Meanwhile,

in the Golden and Silver Eras, the most ordinary and lowly regarded humans began to thrive and grow stronger, continuously enhancing their strength through the complete extraordinary cultivation paths of Magic and Fighting Qi, eventually becoming mainstream in the entire Main World.

Unlike the Golden Race in the Golden Era, with their limitless longevity, or the gifted postnatal beings of the Silver Era from the parallel worlds, human talent was like the abundant wild grass of the forest.

Yet among the vast wild grass, through the cultivation paths of Magic and Fighting Qi, many would grow into towering trees.

The human race started from a low point of talent,

but they had an advantage not possessed by the Golden Race of the Golden Era or the postnatal beings of the Silver Era: humans reproduced and multiplied far faster than the inherently gifted ones, and their cultivation speed far surpassed them.

Thus, the human race began to rise gradually.

However, although humans became the mainstream of the Multi-universe, they were only one of the main streams; many formidable competitors still existed in this world, and local conflicts erupted among them as well.

During the Bronze Era,

amid these local skirmishes and conflicts, overall stability and forward development were maintained.

The two extraordinary cultivation paths of Magic and Fighting Qi, supported by the rapid expansion of the human race, thoroughly dominated the Cultivation Realm's mainstream.

At that time,

these two extraordinary cultivation paths were the undisputed rulers.

Until,

ten thousand years ago, the emergence of the Arcane System.

The Beast God was noticeably reluctant to speak much about the Arcane System, skimming over many crucial details.

Austin understood in his heart,

the appearance of Arcane Mages signified the formation of the Arcane Council, and soon after, the war known as the Twilight of the Gods between the Arcane Council and the Divine commenced.

The Beast God before him was evidently one of the victims of that Twilight of the Gods, and it was understandable that he was unwilling to discuss much.

Austin did not ask questions,

immersing himself in the turbulent history of this world and listening carefully.

In the Beast God's words,

when the Arcane System appeared, no one noticed this weak cultivation system, and by the time it gained momentum, even the ruling cultivation systems of Magic and Fighting Qi from the early to mid-Bronze Era could not do anything about it.

In just a few tens of thousands of years, the Arcane System developed to its peak, pressing Magic and Fighting Qi so low that they couldn't lift their heads.

Even,

Legendary Warriors and Legendary Mages were no more than standard servants to Arcane Mages.

The rapid development was astonishing and incredible.

By the time the Divines in the starry sky became aware, the Arcane Mages had already created methods to wander the Multi-universe at will, building an enormous floating city above the Main World, proclaiming their right to share the same starry sky as the Divine!

Thus,

the great war of thirty thousand years ago broke out.

However,

unlike the past conclusions of the Golden and Silver Eras,

this war,

not only put the Divines in the starry sky into slumber,

but also directly ended the entire Multi-universe System!

In previous wars that concluded the Golden and Silver Eras, at most, the Multi-universe encountered foundational turmoil, with mainstream beings in the Main World replacing each other and cultivation paths changing.

But this time,

it was complete annihilation!

In a short seventy thousand years, the Arcane Mages, who had pushed the Arcane System to its peak, had reached the fundamental level of the world's existence.

While developing the Arcane Mage civilization to its zenith, they also created various incomprehensible weapons of war, which shone brilliantly in the conflict.

For instance, the power named Arcane Furnace, while providing energy for the entire Sky City, could unleash an energy attack that penetrated entire parallel planes, shattering even the chaotic space.

The aura named Elemental Imprisonment suppressed all extraordinary power within its area.

Arcane Barrier, Absolute Defense, Space Ring, Dimensional Strike... numerous terrifying weapons unimaginable to mortals.

Yet these,

were only trinkets on the conventional battlefield.

The truly terrifying ones,

were those super weapons capable of annihilating an entire parallel plane in one strike!

A unit called "Array,"

just a grain dropped into a parallel plane could "format" the entire plane, turning everything from the sky to the earth, including time and space, into small grids, causing the entire parallel plane to shatter and vanish like sand.

A single particle called "Yuan,"

once its outer "Protective Film" was removed, would cause irreversible chaotic twists in the time stream of the entire parallel plane, potentially overlapping the present, past, and future, leading to its total collapse.

These were merely some of the super weapons used by the Arcane Mages in their warfare.

The war between Arcane Mages and the Divine,

completely destroyed the foundation of the Multi-universe's existence, annihilating the myriad parallel planes derived from the Golden Era!

This war,

marked the end of everything!
