Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 658 - 046 Cradle
The terrifying war swept across countless parallel planes, even more horrifying than the previous two wars!
The previous two wars, though they ravaged the entire Multi-universe,
at most,
the war that ended the Gold Era only caused the fall of the original rulers of the parallel planes, severed the countless connections between the parallel planes and the Main World, turning each parallel plane into an isolated island engulfed by darkness, until the rise of the Silver Era reconnected them to the Main World.
The war that ended the Silver Era was much the same, despite the myriad battles aimed at severing the enemy's Daotong roots, blood sacrifices were held clearing numerous native beings of parallel planes within the invaded planes.
Yet, whether it was the war that ended the Gold Era or the myriad conflicts of the Silver Era, the foundation of parallel planes surrounding the Main World remained intact, able to recover automatically after enduring long stretches of time.
However,
the battle between the Arcane Mages and the Divine shattered whole parallel planes directly!
The endless starry sky was destroyed, vast swathes of parallel planes collapsed in the war, dreadful shockwaves sweeping through the entire Multi-universe, inflicting devastating blows upon the entire Multi-universe System.
The Multi-universe System that had been established since the dawn of the Gold Era encountered complete destruction.
Along with it, the entire Main World was disintegrating, overwhelming and boundless attacks nearly broke the entire Main World!
Thus,
greater consequences were triggered.
Before the God of Time sealed the Divine Kingdom completely and disappeared into the ends of chaos, he left a saying:
[You are toying with time, and time is toying with you.]
Throughout the entire Gold, Silver, and most of the Bronze Era, no one understood the meaning of these words.
Until the battle between the Arcane Mages and the Divine reached its end, bringing irreversible disastrous extinction upon the entire Multi-universe and even the Main World, they finally grasped the significance of this phrase.
Parallel planes, derived from the timeline split by the strong of the Gold Era.
When a parallel plane is completely destroyed, the Power of Time also creates interference waves, affecting the temporal rivers of the Main World.
However, the two sides blinded by the deaths in battle did not even notice this point.
Ninety percent of parallel planes in the Multi-universe were destroyed, the chaotic time ultimately creating retaliatory storms sweeping across the entire Main World, and almost simultaneously, the Arcane Council decided unanimously to use a world-ending weapon:
directly attacking the source, destroying the foundation of the entire Multi-universe: the temporal rivers!
On that day,
the starry sky shook,
countless Divine Kingdoms descended from the heavens, crashing into the earth, parallel planes completely collapsed, the temporal rivers reversed, the sky and earth were torn apart.
The entire Multi-universe faced a great collapse, a great extinction!
Ultimately, amidst the crisis of annihilation of the Multi-universe,
those ancient remnants hidden in the depths of the starry sky, who had survived since the Gold and Silver Eras, emerged and, together with the Divine, ended the civilization of the Arcane Mages.
However, by this moment, the destruction wrought by the war upon the Multi-universe was inevitable.
Finally,
with the remaining mighty beings joining forces, they gathered the remnants of the Main World after the battle, fortifying it with the Law Power, holding everything together, creating a new Main World, serving as the "coordinates" for those remaining parallel planes of continents.
This was the origin of the Seta Continent, also known as the Cradle World by the Divine.
Austin did not live through that period nor witnessed the war, but merely from the Beast God's words, he could glimpse the horrors of that ancient war.
Currently,
the Seta Continent crafted from the remnants of the Main World is less than one ten-thousandth the breadth of the former Main World!
That was an unimaginable war, ending the Multi-universe and the Bronze Era.
Until today,
the entire world still languishes in the aftermath of that war, teetering amidst storms.
In the Treasure Hall, after hearing the Beast God's narration, Austin was profoundly shaken, unable to regain his composure for a long time.
In this sweeping world history, the torrent of time rolls on the grand stage, where countless prodigies of various eras come and go, like passing visitors, performing the birth and death reincarnation of this world!
In that almost immeasurable span of time, for the first time Austin felt,
just how insignificant his existence was.
Placed within that vast and grand era,
would he not also be like dust in the soil?
Fortunately,
such self-doubt was fleeting, quickly Austin restored his mindset.
Were he born in that vast era, unrestricted, he may well reach the pinnacle of the world; to reach such heights in merely twenty years in the current environment, even against those Gold and Silver ages, he might not fare poorly, there was no need for self-denial.
Because, Austin believed.
One day, he will inevitably become a being transcendent across all worlds!
...
[Little Blue Dragon, once you become Epic, the Time Law within you will bring about a destructive impact upon the already fragile Cradle World, breaking the weak structural links of Seta Continent...]
Within the Treasure Hall, the shadow of the Beast God floated in mid-air, its voice drifting: 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
[Of course, most importantly, as a native being grown in the Cradle World, once you achieve Epic, a major event will certainly occur... even if those sly creatures can't descend, they will use all means to obstruct your progress.]
The Beast God's shadow seemed to have hidden meanings in its words.
"What major event will occur if I achieve Epic?"
Austin noticed the latter part of the sentence.
[What do you think.]
The Beast God's shadow did not answer directly,
Austin fell silent,
eyes flickering.
In the battle against the Frost Giant Ancient King, Austin learned that seemingly at some future point, those ancient titans will awaken one by one in this world.
From the Beast God's words, after the twilight of the gods witnessed the war of great extinction, aside from the Seta Continent, deep within the endless dark chaos still exist certain parallel worlds, or drifting world remnants from the shattered Main World of old.
Why,
would those Ancient Kings among races revive within this "Cradle World," could there be another special aspect to the Cradle World forged from Main World remnants?
There might be a mystery here.
However, Austin did not probe further,
as the Beast God shadow seemed unwilling to disclose, questioning would be futile.
In an instant,
several thoughts flashed through Austin's mind.
Eyes slightly flickering.
"If I ally, what's in it for me?"
The Beast God shadow smiled lightly, its crimson pupils radiating red light.
[For example, the method to ascend to Epic Level...]
