Chapter 945: The Past of Zu Xian, Part Five
The "past" continues.
The sudden emergence of a large number of Eternal Beasts is impacting the rapidly developing Ancestral Civilization.
At the beginning.
The Ancestral Civilization hadn't paid much attention to the appearance of the Eternal Beast yet.
after all.
Born out of thin air in the myriad worlds, and then bloodthirsty and ferocious, killing anyone in sight, how is this any different from a source beast?
The Source Beasts were once a great enemy of the Ancestral Sage Civilization, but now they have been suppressed to the point that they have almost no room to survive. They are just mindless beasts, so what is there to fear? But soon...
The threat posed by the Eternal Beast is so severe that it could shake the very foundation of the Ancestral Civilization!
First of all, the Eternal Beasts are extremely powerful. They came with overwhelming force, sweeping away everything in their path. Countless human clans and alien groups were completely swallowed up by these monsters in a short period of time!
No one knows exactly how many Eternal Beasts there are, because each one possesses the strength of the Nirvana Realm!
When you factor in the sheer number, it becomes absolutely terrifying!
At that time, the cultivation method of Nirvana Realm had only been comprehended a few eras ago. Even though the Ancestral Sage Civilization had a huge number of sentient beings as its foundation, it was impossible to create a large number of Nirvana Realm cultivators out of thin air.
The ancient civilization has once again fallen into an extreme disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Furthermore, although these Eternal Beasts are said to be "unintelligent," they are actually different from the Source Beasts. They do not kill each other, but instead purposefully head towards the data points of the Ancestral Sage Civilization!
Although the Zuxian civilization at this time was no longer like the small tribes of the past, it had already developed in an orderly manner with complete capabilities in weapon making, alchemy, and array formation. Cultivators were armed and had the means to rely on external forces, so they no longer needed to fight bare-handed.
However, the ancestral civilization still fell into a disadvantage.
Those small forces without Nirvana Realm cultivators to oversee them were wiped out in an instant. Even those with Nirvana Realm cultivators often faced fierce battles against multiple opponents and ultimately perished with resentment.
It didn't take long.
The entire territory of the Ancestral Sage Civilization was completely fragmented into countless pieces by the Eternal Beast Tide!
Everyone fought their own battles. The powerful clans were able to resist the beast tide, but they could only hold onto their small territories. The weaker clans were annihilated in an instant!
The hope now rests on the eight venerable sages who can devise a solution. The eight sages of the First Ancestor were not wasting time; they sensed something amiss as soon as the Eternal Beasts appeared. Unfortunately, their numbers were too great, and despite their strength, they couldn't possibly put out fires everywhere.
in contrast.
The sages devoted their efforts to analyzing the nature of the eternal beast.
Soon, after capturing and studying nearly tens of thousands of Eternal Beasts, the sages reached their conclusions.
These eternal beasts are not "life forms," but rather a "natural phenomenon"!
A phenomenon that suddenly appeared as the number of living beings increased!
The Eternal Beasts don't appear randomly anywhere; they only appear within the territory of the Ancestral Sage Civilization!
Beyond the borders, there was absolutely no sign of the Eternal Beasts! The few pioneering teams tasked with continuing beyond the borders traveled smoothly, completely unaware that their homeland was engulfed in war...
This means that the more prosperous the Ancestral Sage Civilization is, the more members it has, and the more Eternal Beasts it will have!
This conclusion left the eight sages speechless for a long time.
Although the ancients did not understand the reason, the current situation is already quite clear.
Since the Eternal Beasts are a phenomenon, it means that they cannot be completely eliminated. They cannot be killed or eradicated. Killing one batch will result in another emerging, creating a vicious cycle!
But the sages discovered that phenomena cannot be eliminated, but they can be weakened!
Just as the phenomenon of "fire" cannot disappear, but visible and tangible fire can be extinguished.
soon.
The Eight Sages of the First Ancestor issued orders to all remaining members of the Ancestral Sage Civilization who could still be contacted.
Retreat.
Abandon existing territories.
Immediately migrate beyond the territory, spreading the entire civilization's members throughout the myriad worlds. This dispersed population will greatly weaken the Eternal Beast's "numerical advantage"!
The forces within the civilization all hoped that the sages would step forward and turn the tide, but instead they received this order.
Although it goes against common sense, it is something we have to do, and there is no better way for everyone.
then.
The entire Zuxian civilization immediately began to expand on a large scale again, but this time it was out of necessity.
The number of small clans and communities has been greatly reduced, and only a few are able to move their entire power away.
Fortunately, the Ancestral Sage Civilization already possessed a "territorial array" that could be moved at any time, ensuring that the forces migrating outward could still resist the suppression of heaven and earth and not lose all members below the World Realm.
And the situation unfolded exactly as the sages had predicted.
As the various forces within the Ancestral Sage Civilization began to migrate outwards, the once vast territory completely disintegrated, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of Eternal Beasts!
And wherever those forces migrated went, the Eternal Beasts would come knocking on their door.
But fortunately.
Unlike before, when the numbers were so vast they were despair-inducing, this one is manageable.
However, the journey of migrating outwards is never smooth sailing.
There are many extremely dangerous places in the myriad realms, veritable death zones, where even approaching them can lead to annihilation, not to mention the ongoing troubles caused by the Source Beasts and Eternal Beasts...
Migrating forces were constantly wiped out along the way, and some were met with disaster shortly after they stopped...
Time flies.
Half an era passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, after the last migrating force settled somewhere in the myriad worlds, everything returned to peace.
The Eternal Beasts still exist, but their numbers are no longer as vast.
Although the price paid by the Ancestral Sage Civilization was extremely heavy, with the number of beings in the entire civilization decreasing sharply to less than one in ten, the survival of the fittest was vividly demonstrated!
Moreover, due to the vast distances between them, the Zuxian civilization has become extremely fragmented.
Fortunately, the Ancestral Sage Civilization was not lacking in magical artifacts and magical implements that could connect with each other. Before long, the entire civilization was connected again. The calamity brought by the Eternal Beast.
The ancestral civilization barely managed to survive.
"...How tragic."
"These eternal beasts are capable of causing such a terrible tragedy."
Yue Ru was shocked.
Undoubtedly, the sages made a drastic decision, but without doing so, the entire civilization would have been completely destroyed in the end. This way, at least there was a glimmer of hope.
After all, as long as you're alive, anything is possible.
The lost members of the civilization can still be replenished.
“But these eternal beasts…”
More and more mysteries and doubts arose in Yue Ru's mind.
She had already sensed that something was wrong.
The purpose of these eternal beasts seems to be to deliberately cause the Ancestral Sage Civilization to completely separate itself, so as to ensure that it would not be completely destroyed by them...
