Shen Tian's heart was heavy. He didn't expect the human race to have such a secret.
This world had been protected by countless ancestors with their blood and lives.
Now, the Evil Spirits from the outer realm had invaded again, and the calamity had reappeared.
With the current strength of the five regions, it was difficult for them to resist the invasion of the Evil Spirits from the outer realm.
Why had this place become so desolate?
Shen Tian frowned as he wondered.
At the end of the Antiquity Era, the 36 Immortal Kings had used a secret technique to banish the five regions into the boundless void, far away from the outside world.
Although this had cut off their connection with the outside world, it had also given the five regions a good space to develop.
Logically speaking, after so many years of development, the strength of the five regions should have increased greatly.
Even if they couldn't recover to their peak state, they shouldn't have fallen to such a state. Even Thearch powerhouses were extremely rare!
Furthermore, Shen Tian discovered that the Heavenly Dao laws here were also incomplete, and the spatial barrier was extremely weak.
It was as if some kind of earth-shattering battle had destroyed this place, causing heaven and earth to be damaged!
Shen Tian looked at the tomb keeper and raised the question in his heart.
The tomb keeper sighed and said, "This is all because of the world-destroying battle 490,000 years ago.
"The Evil Spirits from the outer realm that were heavily injured by the First Human Emperor also recovered their vitality.
"They tried to reopen the world barrier and invade this universe.
"In addition, there were remnants of the Evil Spirit race in this world. The two worked together and quickly broke through the world barrier.
"For a time, this universe fell into a calamity again.
"Countless Evil Spirits wreaked havoc, causing living beings to be plunged into misery and suffering.
"Without the help of the human race, the ten thousand races were unable to contend against the Evil Spirits from the outer realm.
"They were besieged and forced to retreat repeatedly. In the end, they could only linger on and hide in the Celestial World.
"But even so, the territory of the Celestial World was constantly shrinking. It was being devoured without any room for resistance.
...
The tomb keeper snorted coldly. He didn't pity those people.
If they hadn't been blinded by greed and targeted the human race, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
However, there were still many innocent people in this world who had also suffered.
Furthermore, this great calamity targeted the entire universe. No one could escape unscathed.
The tomb keeper continued to explain. "At that time, the five regions were exiled to the boundless void under the joint efforts of the 36 Immortal Kings, cutting off all contact with the outside world.
"However, the Evil Spirits in the outer realm still learned of the news from the defectors.
"They were afraid of the power of the First Human Emperor and wanted to completely sever the legacy of the human race to prevent future troubles."
"The Evil Spirits from the outer realm have begun to search the vast starry sky, searching for the five regions."
"By chance, the location of the five regions was exposed, causing the Evil Spirits from the outer realm to covet it. They began a long invasion and war.
"Back then, the Human Race's vitality was greatly damaged. Even after recuperating for a period of time, they were not able to recover to their peak."
"The five regions are facing another calamity. The human race is using the supreme treasure left behind by our ancestors to resist."
"Fortunately, the Immortal King once set up the five regions barrier and sealed this world."
"The Evil Spirit race's Perfected Immortal battle prowess will not be able to easily enter this world."
"But the situation is still not good for the five regions. They are about to be completely destroyed."
At this point, the tomb keeper's body trembled and his words were filled with resentment!
That calamity had already forced the human race to a dead end. There was basically no chance of survival.
All the top experts of the Human Race perished in that battle. Not even their bones were left.
…
Then, the tomb keeper's tone changed. "The five regions are about to completely fall, and there is no way to reverse the situation.
"At that moment, the Second Human Emperor was born in response to the calamity and grew rapidly with absolute momentum.
"The Tinder Sutra he cultivated could refine chaotic aura and open up a world in his body, allowing him to grasp the vast power of heaven and earth.
"This power even far exceeds the Tinder Sutra, and it is also known as the Chaotic Tinder Sutra!
"This is the origin of the Chaotic Tinder Sutra."
The tomb keeper stared at Shen Tian, his eyes filled with a deep light.
Shen Tian's body froze when he heard this.
So the Chaotic Tinder Sutra was created by the Second Human Emperor. No wonder it was so powerful!
...
The tomb keeper continued to explain. "When the Second Human Emperor was born, his cultivation level was not high, but his battle prowess was extremely terrifying.
"He once used the supreme power of the Chaotic Tinder Sutra to slaughter a sea of blood in the five regions. He swept through all the Evil Spirits and was invincible.
"Even when he was at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he killed over a thousand Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits, causing the Evil Spirit race's experts to tremble in fear.
"As for the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits, they didn't even dare to look for the Second Human Emperor.
"Even if they came, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths!
"As for Evil Spirits above the Perfected Immortal level, they were unable to enter because of the five regions' barrier. They could only rage in the outside world."
The tomb keeper's eyes flickered, his tone filled with admiration.
To the people of that time, the Second Human Emperor was like a resplendent sun, bringing hope to the entire five regions.
It was also because of his appearance that the human race had escaped the calamity of destruction.
It could be said that the Second Human Emperor was the undisputed savior of the human race. His reputation was not inferior to the First Human Emperor's.
"It was also because of the Second Human Emperor's appearance that the five regions regained their vitality.
"The human prodigies held hope in their hearts and focused on cultivating to increase their strength.
"Heaven and earth were affected, and endless Spirit Qi descended. The laws became incomparably intimate, allowing the human race to grow rapidly.
"With the support of such an environment, top prodigies and experts rose like bamboo shoots after the rain.
"The Second Human Emperor had achieved great success in his cultivation. With his peerless demeanor, countless heroes bowed to him.
"During this period of time, the Second Human Emperor successfully developed the forces under his command, causing the 108 peerless prodigies with the highest talent of that era to submit to him.
"Among them, there were 36 prodigies, and the power they displayed was similar to the 36 peerless Immortal Kings of the Antiquity Era.
"It was said that they were the reincarnation of the True Spirit fragments of those 36 Immortal Kings. They were extremely talented.
"Then, these extraordinary and unyielding prodigies eventually submitted to the Second Human Emperor."
"This was because they firmly believed that the Second Human Emperor could lead them back to their peak and lead the human race back to the Celestial World.
"Gradually, the Second Human Emperor's power grew stronger.
"Every general's battle prowess was unparalleled and extremely powerful.
"Under the Second Human Emperor's leadership, they fought more and more valiantly, killing Evil Spirits from the outer realm everywhere.
"Wherever they passed, countless Evil Spirits would tremble in fear, and their entire race would be annihilated.
"Originally, 70% of the five regions had already been occupied by the Evil Spirits from the outer realm. However, under the leadership of the Second Human Emperor, they continuously seized back their territory.
"The Evil Spirits from the outer realm were defeated one after another, and they were completely chased out of this realm.
"This battle caused the Second Human Emperor's prestige in the hearts of the human race to reach its peak.
"He was known as the peerless Human Emperor, and his fame was comparable to the First Human Emperor's!
"The force they created was called the Heavenly Courts!
"As for the 108 prodigies under the Second Human Emperor, they were collectively known as the 108 Heavenly Generals.
"The Heavenly Courts was the strongest force in the five regions. They had made illustrious contributions, and the Evil Spirit race's expressions changed at the mention of them."
...
The tomb keeper's tone became more and more excited, his eyes blazing.
At the mention of this matter, the battle blood in his body could not help but boil.
Shen Tian's eyes burned when he heard this.
It turned out that the Heavenly Courts recorded in the ancient books was created by the Second Human Emperor.
Logically speaking, with a peerless expert like the Second Human Emperor, shouldn't the Evil Spirit race have been beaten back to their hometown long ago?
Why was the five regions still in such dire straits!?
The tomb keeper lowered his eyes and sighed. "But then, something unexpected happened.
"Under the leadership of the Second Human Emperor, the Heavenly Courts' momentum was great.
"They even blew the horn of counterattack, planning to use the teleportation formation in the Supreme Sky Tree to ascend back to the Celestial World.
"However, the Evil Spirits from the outer realm also began to fight to the death.
"They paid a huge price to forcefully blast open the five regions' barrier.
"The Evil Spirit race sent out three Evil Spirit Thearchs to besiege the Second Human Emperor, who was only a Sub-Thearch at that time.
"Both sides fought in the boundless void, and their might shook the universe.
"That battle was too terrifying. It shattered the surrounding billions of stars into dust.
"The entire sky was reduced to ruins.
"No one could get close to this place, and no one knew what the situation was like.
"However, ever since that battle, the Second Human Emperor completely disappeared without a trace and never appeared again.
"The three Evil Spirit Thearchs from the outer realm also never appeared again."
The tomb keeper's tone was extremely heavy, filled with unwillingness.
The Second Human Emperor's disappearance was a huge blow to this realm.
The fighting spirit that they had painstakingly built up was also shaken.
"The Evil Spirits from the outer realm spread the news that the Second Human Emperor had died in the hands of the three Evil Spirit Thearchs.
"However, everyone in the Heavenly Courts knew that with the Second Human Emperor's battle prowess, how could he die so easily?
"However, the Second Human Emperor has yet to make an appearance, causing everyone to worry."
"The Evil Spirit race also took advantage of this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack.
"Without the Second Human Emperor's leadership, the Heavenly Courts gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
"108 Heavenly Generals resisted with all their might, but they were still unable to reverse the situation.
"In the end, more than half of the Heavenly Generals died in battle, and blood dyed the world red.
"Even the Heavenly Courts were destroyed and sank into North Sea."
At this point, the tomb keeper let out a long sigh, filled with regret.
If the Second Human Emperor grew up, he would definitely be a top-notch existence.
He might even be able to lead the Heavenly Courts to successfully chase the Evil Spirits from the outer realm out of this realm.
Shen Tian's mood also became depressed.
The battle that was about to be won was completely beaten back.
In fact, the danger was far more serious than before.
Shen Tian asked, "Where did the Second Human Emperor go?
Did he really die in the hands of the Evil Spirit Thearchs? "
The tomb keeper shook his head. "No one knows.
However, with the Second Human Emperor's battle prowess, it's impossible for him to lose. "
The tomb keeper's tone was filled with trust. There was no doubt about it.
After all, the Second Human Emperor had once made a name for himself. His talent was unparalleled, far surpassing that of his predecessors.
However, the tomb keeper didn't know why he had suddenly disappeared.
At the thought of this, the tomb keeper fell silent.
Seven minutes later, he came back to his senses and said, "In this battle, the human race was almost annihilated.
"Fortunately, the little girl who had always been by the Second Human Emperor's side rose in defiance of the heavens.
"She created a heaven-defying cultivation technique like the Heaven-Devouring Earth Art and forcefully transformed her mortal body into a flawless Chaotic Body.
"She also successfully mastered the Chaotic Tinder Sutra and led the human race to fight against the Evil Spirits from the outer realm.
"It was also because of this woman's appearance that the crisis of the five regions was completely resolved.
"With the support of the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and she soon became a Thearch.
"She led the old troops of the Heavenly Courts back to the Celestial World and fought against the Evil Spirits from the outer realm for hundreds of thousands of years.
"This woman was peerless and peerless. She was known as the Great Empress by the world!
"And the Chaotic Tinder Sutra also became the Great Empress' representative cultivation technique, causing countless Evil Spirits to tremble in fear."
Shen Tian immediately realized that the Great Empress mentioned by the tomb keeper was definitely the same person he had seen before.
This was because the Chaotic Tinder Sutra was passed down to him by that Great Empress.
However, he didn't cultivate according to the cultivation technique given by the Great Empress. Instead, he directly cultivated the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.
Shen Tian's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Could it be that I also have the Human Emperor Physique?"
The tomb keeper nodded. "You didn't cultivate the Heaven-Devouring Earth Art, but you managed to cultivate the Chaotic Tinder Sutra. I believe you should be the third person in the five regions with the Human Emperor Physique."
At this point, the tomb keeper was filled with emotions.
He didn't expect to meet the third person with the Human Emperor Physique in the world today.
Could it be that the glory of the human race was going to reappear in the hands of this young man?
...
Shen Tian was shocked. He had originally thought that his physique was useless.
Who would have thought that his physique, which was like a star of calamity, was actually the supreme Human Emperor Physique?
If not for the fact that Shen Tian had always been calm and developed, he would have died long ago.
The tomb keeper looked at Shen Tian and said, "Go to the deepest part of the Chaotic Star Island domain!
Perhaps you will obtain the inheritance of the former Human Emperor Physique there. "
Shen Tian's body trembled. "Could it be..."
The tomb keeper nodded and said, "The ruins of the ancient Heavenly Courts are in the depths of the Chaotic Star Island domain.
"However, that place is filled with inauspiciousness.
"Back then, the Evil Spirits in the outer realm were worried that the Human Emperor Physique would reappear, so they didn't hesitate to sacrifice the essence of several Evil Spirit Immortal Kings to set up a supreme evil curse to curse the ancient Heavenly Courts and the Human Emperor Physique.
"As a result, people in the later generations who wanted to rise up the ancient Heavenly Courts would encounter inauspiciousness."
The tomb keeper let out a long sigh, feeling extremely regretful.
Such a powerful force in the past had ended up buried in the deep sea. How miserable was that?
Shen Tian pondered and cupped his hands. "Thank you for telling me, Senior."
He had to go to the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Courts.
There was the second-generation Human Emperor's inheritance there, which could greatly increase his strength.
At the same time, Shen Tian also wanted to figure out the situation.
Why did the Second Human Emperor disappear when he was at his peak?
Just what kind of secret was hidden inside?
...
Zhuge Sima had not woken up yet, so Shen Tian did not continue waiting.
Time was of the essence now, so he had to make every second count and increase his strength as soon as possible.
Furthermore, Zhuge Sima had already obtained the fortuitous opportunity he deserved, so there was no need for Shen Tian to continue staying here.
Shen Tian bade farewell to the tomb keeper and left.
The tomb keeper's eyes were solemn as he watched Shen Tian leave.
He muttered to himself, "If he can grow up, he might really be able to lead this realm and repel the Evil Spirits from the outer realm."
...
After Shen Tian left Dragon Armor Heavenly Palace, he did not immediately rush to the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Palace.
Instead, he split out a Blood God's Son clone and returned to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to make arrangements.
After all, it was the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Courts, and it was filled with inauspiciousness.
Shen Tian did not know what he would encounter on this trip.
Although he had helped Zhuge Sima obtain the fortuitous opportunity, Shen Tian had received providence feedback.
His providence halo had successfully broken through purple-gold and reached light purple.
However, it was never too much to be cautious when heading to such a forbidden area.
The Supreme Sky Tree World's Spherical Heaven Chessboard had taught Shen Tian a lesson.
He did not want to return from this experiential training only to find that hundreds or thousands of years had passed.
If anything happened to the five regions, he would regret it to death.
