"Everyone, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you," Zhou Tong suddenly said when he saw the unhappy faces of these people.
"What is it?" Everyone looked at Zhou Tong once more.
"I've been meditating on the Heavenly Daos, and now I have some guesses as to the cause of the calamity," Zhou Tong said.
"Guesses? You know the deeper reason for the calamity? "Many experts grew excited.
The calamity of the Three Realms had always been like a mountain pressing down on their hearts, causing countless friends to turn against each other and countless disciples to perish in battle.
This group of experts did everything they could to find out the cause of the calamity. They wanted to know why fate had shown them such a clear sign, and why the Seamless Gate and Nüwa's factions had to fight each other.
"Ever since the Three Realms were established, there have been a total of ten Heavenly Daos. The Five Elements, Yin Yang Life and Death, and the Heavenly Dao of Primordial Chaos. However, are these ten Heavenly Daos truly unchanging? "Zhou Tong looked at everyone.
"Not long ago, I comprehended the Four Heavenly Daos of Yin Yang Life and Death. Thus, I can sense that the power of the Heavenly Daos of the Three Realms is changing bit by bit. If I don't take action and you continue like this, the Heavenly Dao of Life will continue to weaken while the Heavenly Dao of Destruction will gradually strengthen. "Zhou Tong looked at everyone as he spoke.
Aside from Lord Demonheart, who had already fused with the Heavenly Daos, only Zhou Tong, who had comprehended the Four Daos of Yin Yang Life and Death and whose soul had reached the level of a Chaos Immortal, could sense the changes in the Heavenly Daos of the Three Realms.
The others had to first have a soul that didn't reach the required level. A soul at the Zu Xian level wasn't strong enough. They had to have a soul that was even stronger.
"Why would a change in the Heavenly Daos cause a calamity?" Suirenshi asked.
Zhou Tong said, "The changes I'm talking about are man-made. The Heavenly Daos naturally have their own balance. When the Heavenly Dao of Life grows stronger, it will find a way to weaken it. When the Heavenly Dao of Yang grows stronger, it will find a way to strengthen the Heavenly Dao of Yin and bring it back to balance. "
"The Three Realms is a Chaosworld with the Five Elements and the Heavenly Dao of Primordial Chaos at its core. Naturally, these ten Daos would instinctively reach a balance. The so-called great calamity is because the heavens and earth are not in balance. That is why the great calamity appears and destroys everything. "
"Everyone, think about it. Since the ancient times, the three dimensions have enjoyed peace for a long time, and the living beings of the various dimensions prospered without end. This was especially true for cultivators who had already become Immortals. Due to the cycle of reincarnation in the Underworld, even if they were to perish, they would be able to quickly rise back up again. For countless years, it has been far too difficult for cultivators to die after becoming immortals. "
"In this way, the Heavenly Dao of Life in the three dimensions had long since reached a limit, and it naturally triggered the balance mechanism of the three dimensions itself. Thus, a great calamity appeared and weakened the number of living beings in the three dimensions. This is the origin of the Great Tribulation of the Three Realms as I understand it. "
Some of these things were from the original novel, and some were from Zhou Tong's own understanding. After truly comprehending the Four Daos of Yin, Yang, Life, and Death, he had a completely new understanding of the workings of the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms. This understanding just so happened to match the original novel.
"So this is the reason for the war between our Nüwa Faction and the Seamless Gate?" The Lord of All Fiends frowned.
He knew quite a bit about the details of this war, because he'd personally seen the incarnation of the Lord of the Demonheart and had spoken with him. Thus, he basically agreed with Zhou Tong's explanation.
But even so, he still had his suspicions. This was because Zhou Tong hadn't told him the true question in his heart. Why had fate shown him so clearly that the Seamless Gate and the Nüwa Faction had to go to war?
If the Heavenly Dao wanted to reduce the number of living beings in the Three Realms, it should have other methods. There was simply no need to start a war between the two.
"That's not all!"
Zhou Tong glanced at the Lord of All Fiends, then continued, "The war between the Seamless Gate and the Nüwa Faction caused the Heavenly Dao of Life to be weakened and the Heavenly Dao of Destruction to be strengthened. But in truth, there was another Dao that was strengthened, and that Dao was the greatest winner. That Dao was … "
"The Heavenly Dao of the Demonheart!!"
As soon as the words' Heavenly Dao of the Demonheart 'were mentioned, the faces of all the major powers instantly turned solemn.
In that instant, they understood.
The Heavenly Dao of the Demonheart had never existed in the Three Realms, but after the Lord of the Demonheart had fused with the Dao, the Heavenly Dao of the Demonheart had come into existence. However, the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Demonheart was completely concentrated on the Lord of the Demonheart. Thus, the external appearance of the Three Realms was that of the ten Heavenly Daos, and the Heavenly Dao of the Demonheart had yet to manifest.
The war between the Nüwa Faction and the Seamless Gate had definitely caused a huge change in the hearts of the people. This was a huge source of nourishment for the Heavenly Dao of the Demonheart.
Similarly, because the Heavenly Dao of the Demonheart had been hidden away, no one had noticed this.
"So that's how it is. The Demonheart is at work!" Everyone on the side of the Seamless Gate and the Nüwa Faction finally understood.
The Heavenly Daos of the Three Realms needed to reduce the number of living beings in the Three Realms, but the Lord of the Demonheart needed to strengthen the Heavenly Dao of the Demonheart as well.
Thus, the Lord of the Demonheart had guided the flow of fate, resulting in the fate of the battle between the Nüwa Faction and the Seamless Gate.
"The most likely reason why the fate of the Three Realms has changed is because of the Lord of the Demonheart. I suspect that once the Dao of the Demonheart reaches a certain level of power, the Lord of the Demonheart will most likely be able to break free from the Heavenly Daos, "Zhou Tong said.
"What?!"
The Seamless Gate's side didn't have much of a reaction, but everyone on the side of the Nüwa Faction was stunned. Their faces instantly turned much more solemn.
If the Lord of the Demonheart really was able to break free from the Heavenly Daos, they would be the first to suffer. It must be understood that if Goddess Nüwa hadn't broken through all those years ago, they probably would've been defeated by the Seamless Gate.
"In truth, if the Heavenly Daos wish to reduce the number of living beings in the world, they have an ultimate trump card … the End of Days!" Zhou Tong concluded. "If the Heavenly Daos of the Three Realms strictly control the amount of elemental energy in the world, causing the entire world to fall into an End of Days, then any cultivator who fails to master the Heavenly Dao of Primordial Chaos will slowly weaken until they die!"
"Perhaps when the number of living beings in the Three Realms reaches a certain threshold, the Heavenly Daos will regain control over the elemental energy in the world, allowing the world to slowly recover."
"An End of Days …"
Zhou Tong's words caused the hearts of all the major powers who had yet to master the Heavenly Daos to turn cold. If the Three Realms truly did adopt such a method, they would be the first to suffer.
Compared to this sort of large-scale, indiscriminate 'End of Days' attack, these cultivators were much more willing to fight a war between the two factions, which had a higher chance of survival. This was especially true for the Seamless Gate's group. Now that they knew that the Lord of the Demonheart was the mastermind behind this war, they wanted to fight a war, not an End of Days.
