Chapter 984: Chapter 60 Godly History [2-in-1]

"Were those fallen Ninth Realms really caused by the Shenxu Temple?"

Chu Liang asked with some reverence, for he remembered the small figures in Taoist robes he had seen in those ancient murals.

Could it really be the work of the Shenxu Temple?

If they had the power to kill a Ninth Realm Godly being, then he would have to be mindful of his attitude when speaking with the temple master.

Upon hearing his question, the temple master pondered for a moment before answering with a light smile, "Not entirely."

Chu Liang also smiled.

Not entirely, which means they certainly have killed before.

The temple master seemed to guess what he was thinking and explained, "We are not in opposition to the Godly beings; quite the opposite, in fact. If a Ninth Realm Godly being wishes to ascend and strives for the sublimation of this world, then we are in a cooperative relationship. The Shenxu Temple would be their staunchest support."

"Unless a Godly being covets their own power and ignores their duties, attempting to ascend by harming this world and not abiding by the Ascension Law left by Saint Li." The temple master waved his hand gently. "Only then would we take action."

Although he spoke lightly, everyone knew what it meant to intervene against a Ninth Realm entity.

The hidden strength of the Shenxu Temple is terrifying.

"Take for example the Dragon God you are familiar with," the temple master said, looking at Chu Liang. It was not difficult to notice the Dragon God Token on him. "He abided by the Ascension Law and mobilized the entire race’s effort for the great war of ascension. The Shenxu Temple had once assisted him."

"The Shenxu Temple once helped the Dragon God?" That caught Chu Liang off guard.

The depictions of the Dragon Race’s Mural and the later shattering of the Dragon Nest had led him to believe that the Shenxu Temple was the culprit behind the decline of the Dragon Race.

"When Saint Li was here, the relationship with the Dragon Race was always good," the temple master said. "Unfortunately, though powerful, the Dragon Race attracted a lot of enemies due to its dominance across myriad realms. The resistance encountered by the Dragon Race in their ascension far surpassed others. That battle involved not only the heavenly tribulation but, as the Skyroad opened, many Heavenly Demons from the Upper Realm converged to prevent the Dragon God from ascending. Despite the help provided by the Shenxu Temple, he ultimately perished."

"In addition to the heavenly tribulation, there are also Heavenly Demons involved in the ascension battle?" Chu Liang asked curiously.

"The so-called heavenly tribulation is actually a protection mechanism of this world," the temple master explained. "If just anyone could take the Spiritual Energy of the world with them, then over time the world would naturally dissolve. So when someone tries to do this, the world intervenes."

"As for those Heavenly Demons, it is because the Skyroad opens at the moment of ascension, connecting the Upper Realm with our own. The Heavenly Demons normally unable to descend will view these opened paths as treasures to plunder. Not every battle of ascension will draw Heavenly Demons, but unfortunately, during the ascension of the Dragon God, an exceptional number of them appeared. Otherwise, with his level of Cultivation, he should not have failed to ascend."

"What about the subsequent shattering of the Dragon Nest..." Chu Liang asked softly.

"That was the deed of the Shenxu Temple," the temple master said without hesitation. "Although we once fought side by side, the Dragon Race’s attempt to revive the Dragon God was still a violation of the Ascension Law, so the Shenxu Temple had to strike against them."

"That’s very strict," Chu Liang said with a smile.

Indeed, if the Shenxu Temple lacked the power to battle a Ninth Realm entity, once a Godly being advanced, their first order of business would be to eliminate this force that had imposed so many restrictions on them, making their own ascension much easier. After all, why should a Godly being from the Upper Realm care whether this world declines or collapses?

Not familiar at all.

...

"Throughout the endless years, very few Godly beings have actually been slain by the Shenxu Temple... of course, there haven’t been many Ninth Realm entities either. To be precise, it was only the God Mother of the Southern Sea and Jiuli’s Evil God whose remnants you might have encountered," the temple master continued.

"Both of them were killed by the Shenxu Temple?" Chu Liang blinked.

"Jiuli’s Evil God not only disobeyed the Ascension Law but also gathered the strength of his entire race, attempting a collective ascension. Although he passed the heavenly tribulation, the Shenxu Temple still had to intervene and suppress him," the temple master recounted. "As for how it was done, you need not be curious, nor can I tell you."

"Hehe."

Chu Liang was indeed curious.

The annihilation of the Jiuli Race in the Zhennan Region’s Mountain by the Shenxu Temple was truly frightening.

"The path of the God Mother from the Southern Sea to godhood was particularly cruel. She used the waters of the Four Seas to engulf the Nine States Land, sacrificing the majority of the land’s living beings in exchange for Heavy Mist’s ascension. After ascending to the Ninth Realm, she barely survived the heavenly tribulation and lacked the strength for further gains. She should have returned to the Mortal Realm to accumulate more power, but instead, she tried to depart. Only then did the Shenxu Temple intervene, keeping her in the Mortal Realm."

Chu Liang had also heard the legend of the God Mother of the Southern Sea.

It spoke of the ancient years when natural disasters were constant, the God Mother used the sea to shelter mortals, saving the creatures of the world. It seems she did this to attain godhood, resulting in the death of countless creatures on the land.

Spin the same event with different words, and you can turn the cause and effect around to paint such a picture, becoming a part of history over time.

However, this also revealed the indifference of the Shenxu Temple; even as countless land creatures died, they did not intervene to stop the God Mother’s actions, allowing her to reach the Ninth Realm. It seems that as long as the Ascension Law is not violated, they believe nothing in the world should be interfered with.
