Chapter 1528: Chapter 1528: The Gate of Merit

Eternal Life Realm, on the Thousand Layer Hill.

At this moment, one after another, Ancient Gods and Demons gradually gathered here, and the mountaintop was noisy and chaotic.

This mysterious trip to outer domains ended inexplicably, they hadn’t even started to seek fortune, and the fortune had already collapsed, so whoever it was, would be filled with rage.

No one understood why the Giant Domain would crumble, nor could anyone clearly explain why it suddenly shattered.

Moments later, over a thousand Ancient Gods and Demons had basically all arrived here, then the entire atmosphere temporarily stifled, and a Spacetime Door opened, with one Path Patriarch after another striding out from the Spacetime Door.

"We are all aware of the matters outside the domain!" As soon as Ben Berry appeared, he spoke with a clear voice, causing the summit to fall silent.

"Alright, everyone sit down, listen to me explain why this trip outside the domain turned out this way!" With a wave of his large sleeve, a cloud platform appeared, and he sat on it, with sixty other Path Patriarchs seated around him.

All the Great Emperors and Demon Emperors and Saints sat on the ground, looking up at Ben Berry.

After contemplating briefly, Ben Berry began, "When the Universe was yet to be divided, there was a door, from which a mass of energy perpetually devouring was emanating." As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, and an egg-shaped energy mass and a door appeared, seeming to contain countless cells devouring each other.

Everyone was slightly bewildered, not understanding what Ben Berry was trying to convey, but no one asked, no one interrupted him.

"As this energy mass devoured itself, it also perpetually expanded, and within the self-devouring energy, several faint consciousnesses were born."

"With the passage of time, under the continual expansion of the energy mass, this became the embryonic form of the Universe, and as time passed, those faint consciousnesses awakened into Spiritual Wisdom, and then the first Heavenly Lord emerged between Heaven and Earth!"

"This Heavenly Lord possessed an immense body, with boundless energy, capable of manifesting into all things, and being omnipresent."

"And after countless eons had passed since his emergence, several other faint consciousnesses were also born, and by then, the ever-expanding Universe had basically taken form!"

"This period is called the Primordial Era, and it was the era of the Heavenly Lord’s birth."

"Presumably, everyone has guessed, the firstborn is the Giant Spirit God, and there are many legends about the Giant Spirit God, including myths and legends corresponding in many Mortal World regions, such as the Giant Spirit God opening the heavens and earth, transforming into all things."

"But in reality, the formation of Heaven and Earth is not coincidental, but rather emanated from this door." Ben Berry pointed to the door.

"Who were those other consciousnesses?" All the Gods and Demons were puzzled, but at the same time, they were eagerly attentive, for this was the most authoritative account, the most comprehensive and genuine narration about the Universe.

"Besides the Giant Spirit God, there were eight other Heavenly Lords, who were born a little later than the Giant Spirit God, ranked second was the God of Fate, third was the Thunder God, fourth was the Wind God, fifth was the Water God, sixth was the Fire God, seventh was the Earth God, eighth was the God of Life, and ninth was called the God of Death."

"These Eight Great God Lords each possessed supreme Divine Skills, it can be said they are the ancestors of all things."

"In the beginning, the Nine Major Heavenly Lords coexisted harmoniously, until one day, they suddenly discovered a door leading to an unknown place within their world, and out of curiosity, they stepped into that door."

"Unknown years later, they emerged from that door, then an unprecedented war occurred, the Eight Great God Lords united to slay the Giant Spirit God, causing heaven and earth to shatter, with the Giant Spirit God dismembered into nine segments, the Wind God transformed into wind, the Fire God into fire, the Earth God into earth, the Water God into water, the Wood God into yang, which is life, and the God of Death into yin, the Thunder God into thunder."

"Thus, within Heaven and Earth existed yang and yin, the Five Elements, wind, thunder, and fate, and that era thereby concluded."

"Thereafter, it was not until we, the Path Patriarchs, were nurtured by the timelessness, awakening to Spiritual Wisdom, transforming into human forms, and mastering the universe."

"However, upon our transformation into human forms, we were ignorant, knowing nothing, but we found sacred grounds, places where the Nine Major Heavenly Lords once lived and practiced, hence we achieved the status of Path Patriarchs, though we dared not claim the title of Heavenly Lords!"

"Our era is known as the Primordial Era, for sequentially, the world gave birth to many life forms, which in the Primordial Era were nourished by the universe and the essence of the sun and moon transformed into either humans, demons, or beasts, and the post-Primordial Era is what we call the Great Desolation. After the Great Desolation, civilizations multiplied, and the ancients emerged, which is your era, continuously ushering in the present!"

"I wish to address two points here, firstly, the door that the Nine Major Heavenly Lords entered is actually the Door of Merit."

"Secondly, within the Universe, there are nine foreign domains, also known as the nine Giant Domains, each housing a segment of the Giant Spirit God’s corpse, and the Giant Domain you entered before collapsed likely because Yusuf Zuck also entered it and obtained a segment of the Giant’s corpse. This might also relate to how Yusuf Zuck accessed the Heart of the Soul World earlier, causing that dimension to fragment!"

"No way? Yusuf Zuck?" The Gods and Demons were taken by surprise. Is it really Yusuf causing trouble again?

"Who is Yusuf Zuck?" At this point, everyone looked at each other in confusion!

"It must be him!" Ben Berry shook his head with a smile, flicked a finger, and a humanoid form formed by energy also appeared. This humanoid resembled the over two meters tall, bearded man, Archie Cortez!

"Even I was deceived by him before, this person should be the incarnate of Yusuf Zuck."

"It must be him, it must be him, no wonder he entered ahead of us, causing the Giant Domain explosion!"

"He is the descendant of a Giant Spirit, I fear my Eternal Life Realm is in danger!"

"Indeed, this person is a menace to us as long as he is alive!"

Everyone turned their gaze back to Ben Berry.

Ben Berry then smiled faintly, "There is no need to worry, as long as he doesn’t acquire the bones from the other Seven Domains, he will not rise to power!"

"Ancestor, I would like to know what is the Door of Merit? What is inside it, and why did the Nine Major Heavenly Lords fight after emerging from it?" one Heavenly Emperor suddenly asked.

"Yes, what exactly is the Door of Merit?" Everyone was puzzled, eagerly awaiting Ben Berry’s explanation.

"We don’t know precisely what it contains, but there are certain points we can ascertain." Ben Berry pondered, "First, whoever enters, must become a Heavenly Lord!"

"Ah?" Upon hearing Ben Berry’s words, everyone was astonished.

"Second, those who receive its legacy, will ascend above all beings, becoming the true Creator!"

"Third, within the Door of Merit, there is energy and fate, influencing everything among the heavens!"

"Therefore, the Door of Merit is something we must explore, to understand what kind of existence it really is!"

PS: Uncle is back, everything is fine, the child’s surgery was very successful, there was a 0.22 cm defect at the heart’s oval fossa, corrected through a minimally invasive procedure. Thank you all for your tolerance and understanding during this time, though Uncle is somewhat tired, really tired, eating and sleeping poorly in the hospital, also finding empty places to force myself to type, typing in the hospital! Then using my phone to eventually connect online via a laptop to upload, feeling like a spinning top, about to collapse from exhaustion.
