Chapter 1490: Chapter 1491: What are Heaven and Earth

"Human Clan?"

"Do you know how many Immortal Kings from the mere ten thousand year-old Human Clan have carved out their domains in the Immortal World?"

Su Chengyu squinted his eyes without contradicting, and asked coldly, "Even so, what’s wrong with that?"

"A man is not guilty; he is guilty because he owns a treasure."

"You think the Human Clan is weak, merely because most of the humans you see today cannot practice cultivation, and those few practitioners who try to ascend are incredibly rare. But Su Chengyu, do you know how many times the Spiritual Energy of this universe has been diminished by several Great Emperors together?"

Su Chengyu fell silent, while Ao Tian on the side knew about this and quietly said, "When Empress Nuwa entered this world, it was weakened once to increase the difficulties of her proving Dao. After the war of revival, dozens of Martial Gods from the Human Clan crossed Heaven’s Gate, and it was weakened again, to restrict the development of the Human Clan. In the Remote Ancient Era, when dynasties stood everywhere, it was weakened once more. At that time, the Spiritual Energy was only a tenth of what it had been, and then after that came the Age of Dharma Decline, which you are familiar with."

After the beginning of the Age of Dharma Decline, the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was so thin that ordinary people could no longer perceive it.

For ordinary people seeking to practice cultivation, it was almost an impossibility, and even if there were great opportunities around, they would likely miss them.

The only ones who could continue their cultivation were a few secluded major families, the Four major Taoist sects, and a few quiet Buddhist places.

"With that, are those people still not satisfied?"

Su Chengyu retorted.

"Not satisfied?"

The Heaven-Mending Stone turned to Su Chengyu and said, "You know, after the emergence of the Age of Dharma Decline, the number of people from the Human Realm ascending to immortality had increased several times over."

"What?"

Su Chengyu frowned and spoke in confusion.

"You heard right, in a more harsh environment, the number of the Human Clan’s individuals ascending to immortality was greater than before. With a reduced large base, the intuitively increased number of ascensions from the Human Clan finally made the Immortal Emperor begin to feel wary of the Human Clan. Eventually, they came to an almost unanimous decision - the Human Clan must be eradicated."

"This is some nonsensical reasoning! Why would those Supreme Emperors who have already proven Dao and gained eternal life unnecessarily interfere with the affairs of our Human Clan?"

Su Chengyu spoke passionately.

"Because they fear change."

"Fear change?"

"For those lofty Immortal Emperors, they wouldn’t care about someone from the Nuwa Divine Clan becoming an Immortal Emperor through the Path of Creation, and ranking among them in the Myriad Heavens. In their eyes, not to mention one Nuwa, even Empress Nuwa is not enough to change the layout of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, not enough to cause any changes to their millennia of rule over the Myriad Heavens and Worlds. But the Human Clan is different."

"The strong adaptability of the Human Clan made the Immortal Emperors feel threatened. They might ignore a member of the Human Clan becoming an Immortal King, but they cannot tolerate half of the Immortals in the Immortal World being of Human origin. After all, if half of the subjects in the Immortal World are from the Human Clan, tell me, is this the Immortal Emperor’s Immortal World, or your Human Clan’s Immortal World?"

"Just because of this?" Su Chengyu shook his head, still unable to understand.

The Heaven-Mending Stone shook its form slightly and said, "This is what this Immortal Stone guesses, but it’s probably pretty close to the truth."

Su Chengyu pondered for a moment, not fully believing the deductions made by the Heaven-Mending Stone, but even if there were discrepancies in the reasons, the aversion of the Immortal Emperor towards the Human Clan as stated by the Heaven-Mending Stone was not false.

"Why not just close Heaven’s Gate directly?"

"Who told you it hasn’t been closed before?"

Su Chengyu was stunned and turned to look at Ao Tian, who had a somewhat unpleasant expression and said, "Back when our Divine Beast Clan ascended to The Immortal World, it was through the Investiture of the Gods that we reopened Heaven’s Gate and then ascended."

Su Chengyu froze on the spot, somewhat at a loss for words, finally beginning to understand the meaning of there being always more solutions than difficulties.

"The desire of the Human Clan to ascend to immortality was deeply embedded in their bloodline by Empress Nuwa herself; closing Heaven’s Gate is only a temporary measure. Countless times in history have proven that the Human Clan will always find a way to reascend to The Immortal World. This tenacious vitality and terrifying cultivation talent are unmatched across the Myriad Heavens and Worlds."

"Is it because of Empress Nuwa?"

Su Chengyu softly voiced his question.

"Maybe? I am a creation from after Empress Nuwa’s enlightenment and I do not know what exactly Empress Nuwa embedded in the human bloodline while perfecting her Dao. In any case, the Human Clan is a race that’s very hard to control in the eyes of the current Immortal Emperors of The Immortal World."

"Unable to control, so they opt for destruction? What grand reasoning! Is that how they stand at the highest points of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds? Living for countless millennia, they really lived up to nothing!"

Ao Tian’s face looked somewhat uneasy, worried that Su Chengyu’s words might be overheard by the Immortal Emperors and then with a casual slap, they could reach across the heavens and kill Su Chengyu right in front of him.

Beside them, the Heaven-Mending Stone nonchalantly said, "Anyway, Heaven’s Gate is really closed now, they can’t directly interfere with this side anymore."

Su Chengyu blinked and asked, "What’s that about?"

"You’re asking me? Why don’t you ask your grandfather? I only realized after my power recovered to the Nascent Soul stage that Heaven’s Gate had been unilaterally closed from this side! Gosh, something even the Immortal Emperors couldn’t do, your grandfather managed to achieve it, so it’s not unreasonable for you humans to be feared by the Immortal Emperors."

Su Chengyu blinked and said, "Grandfather noticed something was wrong back then?"

"Maybe. The plan to eradicate the Human Clan probably emerged during the Age of Dharma Decline, but the Human Clan, now recognized by the Myriad Heavens and Worlds as one of the Upper Races, cannot be casually administered by even the Immortal Emperors controlling the Heavenly Dao Laws."

"Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth."

Su Chengyu brought up a term he had known long ago.

"Exactly, your grandfather probably sensed something early on; that’s why he took preemptive action to sever the connection between Immortal World and this world, aiming to prevent Immortal Emperors from directly interfering with the evolution of Heavenly Dao. But while Heaven’s Gate can block the heavy hand of the Immortal Emperors, it cannot block the Heavenly Dao Laws; the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth still emerged as scheduled in this realm."

"How did the Demonic Path find out these things?"

"Hey, don’t push me too far. I know a bit about matters above, but how could I know clearly about the mess in your realm? Those barely human creatures, if not for him stating it openly this time, even I, as an Immortal Stone, wouldn’t have guessed these people were trying to dodge the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth in such a manner."

Su Chengyu thought for a moment, then hesitantly said, "So by exterminating the Human Clan, can the Demonic Path really continue to live on as a new form of humanity?"

"How would I know? But as I see it, this method might only help dodge the eradication of humanity by the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth. Since those from the Demonic Path are still a branch that evolved from the Human Clan, even if they survive this catastrophe, the Immortal Emperors are probably not going to let them go."

After blinking, Su Chengyu suddenly held the Wasteland Battle Halberd in his hands and said, "Then what did you mean by ’making a bet’ earlier?"

He clearly remembered when Immortal Monarch Tianshang appeared; the Heaven-Mending Stone mentioned it was betting heavily on something, which made Su Chengyu quite concerned.
