A few days later.
Following the Book of Cause and Effect, Xia Ping finally arrived at an area near Gaia Paradise.
"No way, this is near the Dark Forbidden Zone?!"
Xia Ping squinted his eyes. He found that Gaia Paradise had appeared next to the Dark Forbidden Zone, hidden in a void node deep in the void. If it wasn't for the Book of Cause and Effect, he really wouldn't have been able to find the specific location of Gaia Paradise.
It was because the Restricted Darkness Region was just too dangerous. No one knew just how large it was. There were distorted spaces everywhere inside, stacking layer upon layer.
It was said that even invincible saints would be lost in the Dark Forbidden Zone.
Even if one didn't enter the Dark Forbidden Zone, just being near it would cause layers of space to appear, constantly twisting. Even ancient saints had to be careful when coming here.
Otherwise, they would be instantly swallowed by the twisted power of time and space and be banished into the eternal void turbulence.
"The Dark Forbidden Zone?!"
Xia Ping stared at the dark area in the distance. This place was the most mysterious area in the entire universe. Even invincible saints who had lived for countless years didn't know much about this place.
Under his observation, he found that the Dark Forbidden Zone was full of densely packed restrictions and formations. One by one, they merged together as if they had formed independent void laws.
Vaguely, the Dark Forbidden Zone seemed to be incompatible with the laws of the universe. It was like the cancer of the universe, constantly absorbing the energy of the universe.
If it was other saints, they might not be able to see what the secret of the Dark Forbidden Zone was, but under Xia Ping's observation, he suddenly found that the Dark Forbidden Zone was a giant nest.
"I see."
Suddenly, Xia Ping clenched his fists. According to the memory of Quetzalcoatl God, chaos jellyfish, and other sovereigns, in fact, similar nests had appeared in other universes.
This was called the Doomsday Shelter.
Because the universe had a lifespan, when the universe's lifespan ended, even sovereigns would fall along with it. And the more powerful the god, the faster they would die.
To prolong one's life, the only way was to prolong the life of the universe, so that the universe could live a second or third life.
But wanting to prolong the life of the universe was not so simple. God didn't know how many gods had tried to do this, but in the end, they could only watch the universe fall and die with it.
But as time went by, some gods came up with a second way to survive, which was to create doomsday shelters.
The laws of heaven and earth were different from the laws of the universe. If an ordinary being lived in such a shelter, they would be able to withstand the power of the universe collapsing.
From there, they would live until the next universe epoch.
Just like the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the Black Tortoise Clan, the Qilin Clan, and the other Divine Beast Clans, they were shelters built by the powerful gods of their respective clans, allowing some of their weaker clans to enter. They could survive the collapse of the universe, the destruction of the universe, and they could live until the beginning of the second era.
However, it was not so simple for gods. That was because they were too powerful, and their entanglement with the universe's origin and laws was too deep. Their souls were practically fused with the universe's origin.
So, when the universe collapsed, the true spirits of the gods would be destroyed. Not even the sanctuaries could protect them.
Because ordinary lifeforms didn't get too deeply entangled with the universe's origin source, they were able to survive until the second era.
Of course, because they weren't born in this era, their status was no different from the lifeforms of other universes. Like the lifeforms of other universes, once they appeared, they would be targeted by the universe's origin source.
In fact, in the chaos, many lifeforms of other universes became wanderers in the chaos void. They couldn't enter any other universe, and they couldn't return to their own universe. They could only wander in the chaos void.
Once they were discovered by the chaos void's monsters, they would most likely die. They would be devoured.
As for the gods, they didn't want to die just like that. So, they spent a lot of time, and after countless divinations, they finally found a way to survive.
This way to survive was to fake death.
In other words, they had to deceive the universe's origin laws and force their true spirits out of the universe's origin source. That way, they could fake death, and they wouldn't fall with the universe.
The problem was that fake death came with a price.
If they wanted to free their true spirits from the universe's origin source, they would suffer a backlash from the universe's origin source. Even a dominator level god couldn't bear such a price, and it was basically a death sentence.
Even if this plan succeeded, they would be extremely weak and wouldn't be able to unleash their power for a long time.
So, in order to protect themselves, these gods spent countless resources to build god graveyards. This was to protect them from being killed by other lifeforms when they revived.
From the scale of the darkness zone, it was clear that the gods of the previous universe had succeeded. Otherwise, the darkness zone wouldn't have such terrifying power.
"No, that's not right. It's not as simple as the previous universe's era."
Xia Ping's eyes flashed.
One had to know that the universe was a reincarnation cycle. After such a long time, it was unknown how many reincarnations there would be.
If it was some powerful god, they might have a way to live through one epoch after another.
In other words, the gods of the darkness zone weren't just from the previous universe's era. There were probably gods from the era before the one before that, or even the one before the one before that.
It was precisely because of this that, after epochs after epoch, countless gods pushed the darkness zone to become so powerful.
This place also hid countless secrets of the universe.
The lifeforms of the current universe had obtained countless benefits from the darkness zone. For example, the few divine weapons of the human race were found in the darkness zone.
"Are these gods going to revive?"
Xia Ping narrowed his eyes. He could totally imagine that if the modern universe evolved to a certain extent, the suppression of the universe's origin source on the gods of the previous era would weaken. They would definitely crawl out of their graves and revive instantly.
It wouldn't be long before countless gods from the old era would appear in the universe.
At that time, the so-called peak races like the human race, demon race, bug race, elemental race, and so on would probably not be a match for these gods. They would all be enslaved by these gods.
The entire universe would also descend into a dark era.
He knew that in the Evil God universe, when those gods were still alive, the lives of humans were miserable.
To be honest, such a situation would probably be many times more dangerous than the demons from the abyss invading the modern universe.
