Melville did not dare say a word as he continued listening.
She stood by the side reverently as though she was a servant.
If other Rank-Ten existences saw this scene, they might have been astonished. After all, the Nine-headed Ancient Mother's fame resounded throughout the land, preventing other existences from leaving the Bodhimanda.
In fact, she could not help but be astonished. As one of the hegemons of the land, she was considered ancient, but the origins of the clay sculpture were unknown. All she knew was that it was a prehistoric civilization from at least five billion years ago. It could also be said to be one of the greatest archaeological mysteries beyond the Chaos Heavens.
After all, even in this distant space-time, there were many who were immersed in the Chaos Sea. It was imaginable how terrifying the number of stars in the universe of that era was. Some even guessed that most of the stars in the universe back then had been made into clay sculptures, resulting in a considerable number of them being preserved.
"To know of such ancient matters, one must have a rich heritage! It must have a rich heritage! "
Melville's heart skipped a beat. This further proved that the other party was ancient and mysterious, with an unimaginably terrifying background.
"You have to know that although our race came from a golden age more than a billion years ago in ancient times that cannot be investigated, we only awoke from an ancient ruin in recent years after our decline. Step by step, we recovered and developed again to this day. Even after Sage, we have only been passed down to seven generations, which has lasted for less than seventy million years. The history we know is not much more than that of ordinary newly-advanced Sages …
"At the same time, our bloodline has thinned. If it were generations of Sages, with ancient existences presiding over us, our bloodline would naturally not be diluted by time. But in the past, the strongest of our generations were only Gods and Celestial Thearchs. They were unable to maintain the purity of our bloodline, so it diluted with time … This resulted in us not being very strong even after our revival!"
Therefore, as the current leader of the clan, the Nine-headed Ancient Mother, she was constantly thinking of reviving her bloodline. She was so excited when she saw the spatial bloodline of Empyrean Supremacy. She wanted a marriage alliance and was even willing to marry …
This was because she knew that if the two spatial bloodlines produced offspring and constantly nurtured them, there was a possibility of them surpassing their ancestor's bloodline if they could fuse!
Surpassing their ancestor …
She saw the powerful bloodline of the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art and sensed the possibility of returning to glory. How could she not be excited?
"The Renimangka in front of me is probably a Holy Land of those ancient families, a level-10 civilization that is hundreds of millions of years old … Perhaps, his level-10 civilization is already moving toward multiple dimensions and has begun to cross the Chaos Ocean," she guessed. "I'm afraid it's one of the top ones."
The strength of an individual is weak.
In the torrent of history, he was incomparably insignificant.
Even if a Dao Validation Sage were to appear in a civilization that brought glory to their ancestors, ascending beyond the universe and standing proudly in the Chaos Heavens as a Great Dao Sage, controlling the order of the universe and the Heavenly Dao from a Dao venue outside the Chaos Heavens, it would only be a fleeting moment … They would perish in less than ten million years …
A Sage was an individual life. Only by continuing the inheritance and the torch of civilization could they be eternal.
And some powerful Sages, like some mortal families on the planet, would nurture their own descendants. After they died, another Sage would emerge to continue the glory of their civilization and race. They were known as … the Great Dao Families!
Most of the lower-level branches that monopolized a particular Great Dao were the Sages of their lineage.
Just like the Nine-headed Ancient Mother's lineage, they used spatial distance to substantiate their Dao. If their lineage had many Daos, they would monopolize the spatial distance branch over generations. Looking at the Great Dao tree chart, one could see a lower-level Great Dao that belonged to their lineage. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was their family.
This was the Great Dao Families. They were known to hold the authority of the past and present, with the Great Dao as their family!
These were the true powerhouses.
The descendants of ancient Sage families would control a particular aspect of the Heavenly Dao's order in the universe. Every generation would produce Sages for the universe, and in a given era, there could be several of them. The richness of their heritage was unimaginable to other existences!
"But the torrent of history is still too terrifying. Just a single unforeseen event will cause the succession to be cut short … Sages will perish and lose their glory. Those family clans will perish as well. It's just that this method of passing on the torch is rather slow …"
The Nine-headed Ancient Mother knew very well that time was the most terrifying thing. No matter how powerful a supreme existence in the universe was, they could not escape the torrent of time.
She whispered bitterly, "The longest Sage family I've seen has only been passed down for seventeen generations! I was already astounded back then … They actually traversed more than a hundred million years of history in the universe! "
However, it was absolutely impossible to know more than five billion years of prehistory with a hundred million years of history!
The Renimangka in front of her could only be even more ancient …
But was it really possible for more than five billion years?
She felt a little adrift. At this realm, her Dao heart was already as stable as a mountain, but now, she suddenly felt a little lost. She suddenly began to doubt the world she saw …
One had to know that beyond the Chaos Heavens, there was a famous curse that was widely known: The Dao is not passed down for five hundred million years, Gods are not able to transcend ten million years.
The meaning of this sentence was: The heritage of a Sage family would definitely not exceed five hundred million years before it declined. A Sage's lifespan could not exceed ten million years before they were completely assimilated.
This was equivalent to a tipping point.
The universe was alternating as the tides overlapped.
There was no eternal Level Ten civilization that could remain high and mighty forever, controlling the 'politics,' monopolizing the Heavenly Dao, and becoming a Sage. There would definitely be ups and downs.
Just like the dynasties on Earth, they unified the world and were extremely prosperous when they were established. They looked like they would last for thousands of years, but the average lifespan of those dynasties was only about three hundred years. This was a shocking curse.
What did five hundred million years mean?
A Sage of the Great Path would not live more than ten million years before he was assimilated! Five hundred million years was equivalent to fifty generations of complete heritage, and every generation would produce a Sage of the Great Path!
There was a saying among mortals: Wealth does not last more than three generations, but that was only for mortals. Here, there were fifty generations. What did it mean to have fifty Sages of the Great Path? This was impossible to achieve!
Just like on Earth, just the continuation of mortals, how could a family with a complete heritage of fifty generations have a complete genealogy? How many were there? Even mortals could not experience the changes of dynasties, the vicissitudes of time, natural and man-made disasters. Even a famine or a bandit attack could cut off their heritage … And this was the highest point of the universe!
At the same time, how could it be easy to become a Sage of the Great Path?
Every Sage of the Great Path was a creation. Even if one tried hard to cultivate them, they would not necessarily become useful!
It was unimaginable and almost impossible to have fifty Sages of the Great Path in a row. But this was only a heritage of five hundred million years.
It was even more impossible!
Even the Sage family that she knew had a heritage of more than one hundred million years, but after more than ten generations, it was inevitable that it would decline with each generation.
There was not even a single Sage of the Great Path left. Only a group of pseudo-tenth-order heirs of the False Path were keeping up appearances. Now, they were living off their old capital. They had been hiding in the powerful Daoist rites reinforced by generations of ancestors to barely maintain their prosperity and prevent other Sages from attacking and plundering them.
They still hoped that by hiding in the Daoist rites, a blazing sun would appear in one generation and return to the Tenth Path. But it was easier said than done.
"This is a curse from outside the Chaos World, and it has not been passed down for five hundred million years …" Melville felt extremely bitter. At the same time, she looked at Renneman, her heart beating faster and faster. As she listened to these allusions, she was more and more shocked, and her mind went blank. What kind of civilization was this?
She was afraid that it was not fake.
"But none of this can be fake." She felt incredulous.
At this moment, she was in a daze. Xu Zhi was still walking on the beach, walking along the shoreline. He faintly said, "That four-dimensional lifeform can cross the past and the future. Back then, when those ancient lifeforms became four-dimensional lifeforms, they could quickly reach the end of their lives.
Almost in a very short time, I arrived in the distant future, crossed the timeline, and arrived at my future self tens of millions of years in the future. At that time, I had already crossed the Ninth Stage from the Eighth Stage and reached the ultimate stage of the Great Dao.
"Four-dimensional creatures are simply terrifying."
Medusa and the others were shocked when they heard this. They felt that they had indeed benefited a lot.
These stories, for mortals, were just stories and historical knowledge. But for existences like them, knowledge was all power, and historical knowledge was also a kind of power.
What's more, this was the truth of the Great Path, the historical process of the evolution of the universe, so they had a clearer understanding of the structure of the entire universe!
This talk about the past and the present was no different than an earth-shattering sermon!
It was an unimaginable opportunity!
"I've benefited a lot." Medusa felt very happy.
"I didn't expect the torrent of ancient history and the ancient civilization to be so strange and brilliant." Even the man dressed like an emperor was very surprised.
"You heard my father's sermon the moment you arrived. You've really picked up a big bargain." The Goddess of Stone proudly poked the Nine-headed Ancient Mother's arm. "It's very difficult for outsiders to hear this kind of history."
"Yes." The Nine-headed Ancient Mother's eyes flashed with a trace of carefreeness. She was completely convinced.
"I don't know what's going on in this fellow's head. She was very unyielding before, but now she doesn't struggle anymore. Maybe it's the four-dimensional creatures I mentioned that stunned her." Xu Zhi naturally did not know what the shocked Melville was thinking. He felt that what he said was due to historical reasons.
In reality, Xu Zhi had just arrived, so he did not know how big of a shock his words would cause!
His inheritance was actually only a year long, but when he said these words, it felt like an incomparably long abyss, breaking the confinement of the universe's time and standing at an unimaginable height.
"In an instant, a large number of four-dimensional creatures appeared. They rapidly broke through the tenth level and began to prove their Dao."
"In that ancient time, there wasn't much difference between the eighth level, ninth level, and tenth level. In their eyes, once they broke through the eighth level, it was equivalent to immediately reaching the tenth level."
Xu Zhi continued to talk about history.
As she spoke, she walked along the beach, whispering along the tide. It was as if she was a traveler standing on the dome of the universe.
The Nine-headed Ancient Mother continued to listen.
She looked around at Medusa, the four Grandmasters, the Goddess of Stone, and the others. Suddenly, she felt a sense of peace. There was no mutual deception, and there was no need to be vigilant of others at all times to steal her bloodline …
The group of people here lived very peacefully. They discussed Dao together, and there was no need to be on guard against each other.
Previously, her bloodline was too powerful, and countless people coveted it. She was like a walking piece of meat, and there was almost no one she could trust.
But now, no one here was interested in her bloodline. Instead, they felt that it was of a low level. She just walked along the beach and leisurely exchanged their experiences, as if it was an outing …
Perhaps this was the life she wanted. Everyone's bloodline was very powerful, even much more powerful than hers. Everyone was devoutly pursuing Dao together, and they would have higher opportunities. A glimmer of understanding flashed through her heart. Previously, she felt that it was very humiliating, but now she felt that it might be a great opportunity.
She was a proud person.
But now, she felt that being able to continue walking on the beach, being able to trust each other, and not have to live in fear was also a kind of happiness. She even followed Renimanga, the mysterious man who walked on the beach and talked about ancient history, the unimaginable supreme sage of ancient times …
It was also a kind of supreme glory.
