Throughout the chaotic cosmos, across all heavens and myriad worlds, within the same epoch cycle, each status was unique.
The Epoch End Calamity was the process by which the chaotic cosmos reset and renewed itself.
After the Epoch End Calamity, the original innate spiritual roots and innate supreme treasures among the heavens and myriad worlds were either destroyed or lost, thereby leaving vacant new statuses for new innate spiritual roots and innate supreme treasures to appear.
Ever since the Ancestral World had shattered and transformed into the heavens, only a portion of the twenty-four innate spiritual roots and thirty-six innate supreme treasures appeared in each epoch cycle. This epoch cycle might produce the Innate Five-Needle Pine, the next might produce the Innate Plantain Tree, but the Innate Five-Needle Pine would absolutely not appear again—at the very least, an epoch cycle had to pass between them.
And in every epoch cycle, the mass fall of Pure Yangs was, in a certain sense, also freeing up a great many Pure Yang fruit positions and leaving vacant new Great Daos.
The chaotic cosmos was constantly renewing itself.
This was the conclusion Jiang Sheng had deduced from the various records in Penglai's own classics and the Daoist canon gathered from East Heaven.
A ten-thousand-year calamity was a world's renewal of itself, while the Epoch End Calamity was the chaotic cosmos's renewal of all heavens and myriad worlds. With each renewal, the rise and fall among the heavens and myriad worlds would also change accordingly. Some things vanished, some things reappeared, and the patterns within were also faintly mentioned in the Daoist canon of East Heaven.
In the Daoist canon, the Dao Lords called it epoch-cycle karma and likened it to the tides of time. Their words were broad and hazy, but Jiang Sheng still
