Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

Chapter 395: Chapter 391 The truth about the Destruction of the Heavenly Master Civilization_2

Some creators lacked a Ruins Beast as their protector, mainly because they couldn’t find a Spirit Realm Life to serve as the soul of the Ruins Beast.

The stronger the Spirit Realm Life and the more Demon Soul Crystals they possess, the more powerful the Ruins Beast crafted will be.

Why did the Aries Star Lord focus on teaching disciples back then?

It wasn’t because he was truly selfless. From the memories of the Aries Star Lord, the reason he cultivated disciples was to have them challenge the creators and transform them into Spirit Realm Lives at the moment of their challenge.

This was something he did very secretly, and combined with the high danger of becoming a creator, even if each "disciple" fell on the path to becoming a creator and became a Spirit Realm Life, he used a secret technique called "Gathering Spirit Technique" to merge and refine their souls into the Ruins Beast.

And now...

All he needed to do was activate the True Spirit, and he could summon a Spirit Realm Life.

It was a powerful Spirit Realm Life that stretched nearly a thousand kilometers.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinlai calmed down.

"Back then, the creators, in order to nurture more forbidden Ruined Beasts, almost all used various methods to cultivate the spirits of the Ruins Beasts. The Aries Star Lord’s sacrifice of his disciples was not unique. In the eyes of the creators, they were already the high and mighty life forms of the Spirit Realm, immortal and undying. Whether they were Demon Spirits or humans, they were just materials and resources to be used and controlled at will."

He had in his mind the complete method for refining Ruins Beasts, which naturally included the ways the creators obtained materials for the Ruins Beasts.

And they went to all lengths because the Ruins Beasts were too powerful.

"Ruins Beasts are truly unreasonable. Even a True Immortal stationed in the world can’t do anything to a forbidden Ruined Beast. At best... they had already attained the True Immortal Dao Fruit, and it would take more time for the forbidden Ruined Beasts to plunder their spiritual essence, just like a large Demon Spirit devouring my True Spirit."

Gu Jinlai viewed a memory of the Aries Star Lord suppressing a True Immortal: "True Immortals could hardly produce any effective countermeasures against Ruins Beasts, only gradually watching their spiritual essence being stripped and devoured... Ultimately, they only had two outcomes: either they died, or they bowed their heads and begged for mercy."

No wonder that Purple Peak True Immortal was so suppressed by the Ruins Beast that he doubted life itself and even switched to following the Heavenly Master.

After becoming a Great Sky Lord, although he still couldn’t resist the Ruins Beasts, at least he had the ability to fight back a bit.

"Great Sky Lord..."

Gu Jinlai pondered as he continued to view the memories.

Soon, a memory related to Divine Weapons caught his attention.

"The original intention behind the crafting of Divine Weapons was for the creators to use them as Dao Marks, eternal as the Great Dao; even the Innate Divine Beasts have incredibly long lifespans, some living even longer than human history. The creators, in their quest for immortality, hunted Divine Beasts to craft Divine Weapons as Dao Marks, so that they could always descend into the real world as Spirit Realm lives without getting lost."

Gu Jinlai spoke to himself.

Not getting lost, it meant the creators were virtually immortal.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Masters failed.

The Divine Weapons couldn’t withstand the spiritual force brought by the creators from the Spirit Realm.

Eventually, the Divine Weapons died.

When the Divine Weapons died, the "Dao" on them would gradually dissipate.

"It failed, but some creators tried to craft even more powerful Divine Weapons, powerful enough to withstand the cleansing of the Spirit Realm’s force, among them... the Aries Star Lord was the best at Artifact Refining,"

Gu Jinlai said, and soon, he "thought" of something.

"Sky Extreme Sword!?"

He "recalled" the entire process of the Libra Star Lord finding the Aries Star Lord and their collaboration to refine the Sky Extreme Sword.

"No wonder the Sky Extreme Sword was a cut above the other Divine Weapons..."

Gu Jinlai realized.

The Sky Extreme Sword was indeed one of those more powerful Divine Weapons.

While the Aries Star Lord was refining the Sky Extreme Sword, news came from the outside world.

A force comprised of almost all the top Earthly True Immortals and True Immortals stationed in the world—Immortal Country, they had found the path beyond True Immortal.

They called it Immortal Master.

This made the creators uneasy.

Worried that their hegemonic status would be challenged.

Especially after the incident with the Purple Peak Immortal, the stationed True Immortals had already taken their development to a new level, and if they were to follow the path of the Immortal Master...

Just at that time, the creators discovered that Divine Weapons were being revered by countless cultivators.

Because cultivating with Divine Weapons allowed cultivators to progress at a remarkable pace, their cultivation could be described as advancing a thousand miles a day.

As long as one’s own body and the Divine Weapon were compatible, let alone becoming Devas or Saints, even becoming an Earthly True Immortal was merely a matter of a few decades.

The only drawback was that their ultimate achievement could never surpass the Dao contained within the Divine Weapon itself.

Moreover, each Divine Weapon was personally crafted by the Creators...

The Creators instantly thought of a way to use Divine Weapons to restrict and even control cultivators.

Thus, the Divine Weapons, which were about to be discarded by the Creators, were frequently crafted.

The sole purpose of these Divine Weapons being disseminated was to completely sever the path of the cultivators.

At least, the path of the cultivators must be controlled by the Creators.

"Because, in the eyes of the Creators, everything in this world is merely their backyard for obtaining materials, so are the Heavenly Masters, and so are the cultivators,"

Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.

At that moment, he finally understood why cultivators, and even Heavenly Masters, would spontaneously come to regard the Ruins Beasts and Divine Weapons as taboo in the future.

If it weren’t for the lesser threat posed by Devils, even the less harmful Divine Weapons might not have been brought out again.

Gu Jinlai closed his eyes and quietly reminisced.

Fortune often goes with misfortune.

While the Creators were keen on crafting Divine Weapons, in the Demon Realm, the first Demon Lord was born.

The birth of this Demon Lord led to the fall of one Creator.

Although subsequently, the Holy Land dispatched six Star Lords who exterminated the Demon Lord in one fell swoop, its emergence undoubtedly let the people know that the Demon Spirits had completed a new round of evolution and paved a new path.

Suddenly, all Creators felt a crisis looming, gathered together, brainstormed, and planned to forge a path beyond that of a Creator.

With the collective wisdom of many Creators, before long, a new path emerged before everyone.

That is the World!

The characteristic of a Creator is to transform into a Spirit Realm Life, the next step is to control the Spirit Realm, to become the Master of the Spirit Realm.

While controlling the Spirit Realm is difficult, they can shape a piece of the Spirit Realm into a kingdom entirely their own, consolidating their own small world.

Thus, a realm within the Heavenly Master System known as "World Master, Spirit Realm Master" was born.

When it was realized that the most important aspect of this stage was control, to refine parts of the Spirit Realm, all Creators began to act.

Claiming territory and declaring sovereignty.

Several Creators, even before achieving the "Realm Lord" state, had already begun declaring sovereignty in the Spirit Realm one step ahead.

The twelve Creators of the Holy Land even divided the real world and the Spirit Realm into Twelve Domains, not only to become World Masters but also Spirit Realm Masters.

This action caused strong dissatisfaction among other Creators.

Conflicts in the real world, coupled with conflicts in the Spirit Realm, as well as potential threats from the Demon Realm...

Everyone proclaimed themselves to be the legitimate Masters of the Spirit Realm, believing they were the ones qualified to continue suppressing the Demon Realm in the name of Justice.

Thus...

A civil war broke out.

Because of the civil war and the Creators’ act of "claiming territory," the complete Spirit Realm was fractured, turning it into isolated islands, disrupting the balance of the True Spirit Realm.

Just as humans disrupt the environment, disturbing the atmospheric circulation, thus...

Glaciers melted, floods swept across the world, and destroyed human civilization.

The same was true for the Spirit Realm.

As this internal conflict wrought havoc, a spiritual tide suddenly erupted in the Spirit Realm, sweeping across it.

All Creators, even the Three-step Heaven Monarch and the Great Sky Lord who were observing or traversing the Spirit Realm, were swept away by the spiritual tide, lost in the Spirit Realm, and perished there.

The rising civilization of the Heavenly Master plunged into a dark abyss.
