Hearing that Lin Tian rejected his invitation without hesitation, the Chen Clan's ancestor's eyes flashed with a trace of darkness. He was obviously very unhappy, but on the surface, he didn't show the slightest trace of it.
He just looked at Lin Tian and shook his head regretfully. "What a pity …"
After that, he seemed to be unwilling to give up and said, "Fellow Daoists, if you change your mind, you can come to the Chen Clan to look for me at any time. This old man will definitely treat you with respect."
As the saying goes, one doesn't slap a smiling face. Since the Chen Clan's ancestor was so polite, Lin Tian naturally had nothing to say. He nodded and agreed, indicating that if he really wanted to find someone to join forces with, he would definitely look for the Chen Clan first.
Hearing that, the Chen Clan's ancestor nodded in satisfaction and then said goodbye. He turned around and disappeared into the street with Chen Yuguang, whose eyes were full of resentment but didn't dare to show it openly.
Seeing the two of them leave, the surrounding people also knew that today's show was over. They couldn't help but disperse. At the same time, they were shocked by the news they heard from the Chen Clan's ancestor and began to discuss it again.
Xiao Hei looked at the direction where the Chen Clan's ancestor left, then turned to ask Lin Tian, "Young Master, what is the Ancient Desert City?"
Obviously, looking at the shocked faces of the surrounding people, it was also interested in this so-called ancient city.
Although Heavenly Phoenix Princess and Wu Sanhan didn't say anything, their eyes were full of curiosity when they looked at Lin Tian.
Seeing that, Lin Tian sighed helplessly and introduced the Ancient Desert City to them as they walked.
This ancient city was built in the Desolate Era.
At that time, there was no such thing as the Immortal Realm or the Nine Heavens. The three Heavens were also connected and were called the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Realms.
At that time, the Immortal Realm was also called the Heaven Realm. The Thirty-three Heavens came from that time. It was the territory ruled by the strongest race in the world, the God Race.
This race came from the Primal Chaos. They were born strong and had terrifying strength. They had ruled the Immortal Realm for countless years.
That period of time was called the Mythical Era by the later generations.
At that time, the Immortal Realm was also called the Divine Realm.
As for the Earth Realm, it was naturally the Foreign Realm, also known as the Demon Realm. The Mortal Realm was the current Nine Provinces.
Moreover, the Mortal Dimension had always been the weakest amongst the three dimensions.
Regardless of whether it was the Demon Race living in the endless darkness or the high and mighty God Race, none of them took the Nine Provinces' Ten Thousand Races seriously.
In their eyes, humans were nothing more than slaves, and the other races were nothing more than livestock and pets in their eyes.
They relied on their powerful innate abilities to enslave tens of thousands of races. They were known as gods, and the name of the God Race came from that time.
It was just a pity that the God Race's reproductive ability was too poor. Because they were born strong, it was very difficult for them to reproduce.
Among the thousands of races in the Mortal Realm, except for a small number of races, large races such as the Human Race and the Demon Race were rapidly growing and expanding.
Gradually, more and more experts began to emerge.
Although they could not be compared to the God Race, they were not without the power to resist. Over time, the forces of the Human Realm became stronger and stronger.
And at this time, it was already too late for the God Race to suppress them completely.
At that time, almost all of the primordial gods who had walked out of the chaos had fallen in the battle with the demons of the foreign realm. The God Race had long been on the decline. In the end, they had no choice but to cut off the Heavenly Road and completely seal off the Heaven Realm.
However, even though the God Race had retreated, it did not mean that the demons of the foreign realm would also retreat. The foreign realm, the immortal realm, and the human realm could be said to be mortal enemies since birth. Therefore, after a series of expeditions, the God Race finally could not resist.
At that time, the leader of the God Race was none other than the famous Immortal God King. At that time, he was the leader of all the God Race. His strength was sky-high, and he was almost half a step away from being comparable to the first few Gods of Chaos.
However, the God Race had already declined to the extreme at that time. Other than the Immortal God King, there were not many existences who could carry the banner of the God Race with him.
In addition, at that time, the power of the Human Race and the Ten Thousand Races of the Mortal Realm had already accumulated to a certain extent. They all rose up and were no longer enslaved by the God Race.
The war between the two sides made the powerful God Race exhausted to the extreme. Some people were in charge of war, while others were in charge of peace. Faintly, there were even signs of division.
This made the Immortal God King decide to sacrifice the Mortal Realm and use the countless living beings of the Mortal Realm in exchange for the peace of the God Realm.
Naturally, no one would object to this proposal.
After all, in the eyes of the God Race, no matter how weak the living beings of the Mortal Realm were, they were just lowly slaves. If they died, they died. It did not matter.
What's more, this group of slaves actually dared to rebel.
This made the powerhouses of the God Race even more determined to fight this war.
Sacrifice the Ten Thousand Races in exchange for their own peace and recuperation.
However, what the Immortal God King and the group of God Race did not expect was that the hidden strength of the Mortal Realm had already exceeded their imagination.
The God Realm had the God King.
The Devil Realm had the Devil Emperor.
The Mortal Realm naturally had the leader of the Mortal Realm.
And the leader of the Mortal Realm was known as the Celestial Emperor, which meant that he was the ruler of the Heaven Realm and was no longer under the command of the God Race.
It was also under the suppression of the first Celestial Emperor of the Mortal Realm that the God Race lost their absolute dominance in the Heaven Realm.
And this force was the Heavenly Court.
The Ancient City of the Desert was a station established by the Heavenly Court when they ascended to the Heaven Realm. At that time, it was the first city of the Heavenly Court in the Heaven Realm.
It was once the base of the Heavenly Court.
Now, the Heavenly Court had also fallen in history, and the God Race had also slowly retreated into the years. The Immortal Race rose after that.
In the end, with the support of the God Race, they dominated the Heaven Realm.
As a result, this world gradually became known as the World of Immortals. In reality, this world didn't have immortal immortals like everyone thought it to be.
The so-called Immortal Race was just a race that the God Race had interbred with other races and continued.
Just like the Barbarian Race of the Nine States.
They had inherited the talent of the God Race and the reproductive ability of the thousands of races in the Mortal Realm. Therefore, they naturally became stronger and once again suppressed the Mortal Realm.
However, like the God Race, these self-proclaimed Immortals looked down on the living beings of the Mortal Realm.
They thought that they were all lowly living beings from the Lower Realm.
And the Immortal Race was an existence that could be on par with the God Race.
Therefore, the conflict was inevitably triggered again.
And the Mortal Realm, which was the Nine Heavens, was indeed not as suitable for cultivation as the Immortal Realm. It was inevitable that it would fall into a disadvantage again. Although it was not enslaved again, it was gradually difficult to compare with the Immortal Realm.
This was also why later on, in the Mortal Realm, everyone thought that the Emperor was inferior to the Immortal Realm.
And now, in fact, this was indeed the case.
The Celestial Emperor of the Mortal Realm was far less valuable than in the ancient times. Now, not to mention being comparable to an Immortal King, it was already very good to be comparable to a Celestial Immortal.
