Ronan had been gathering information on that point in history, searching through virtually everything his Level Six Sky Ladder clearance allowed him to access. Yet the records in the External Neuron's Database still had the same problem:
They were far too sketchy.
The limited material he had collected so far was evasive about that Special Node.
Ronan could only reason it out this way:
For one thing, the charges against the Lord of Zhanhe—"killing his teacher" and "murdering an Ancient God"—were grave and peculiar, yet difficult to prove or disprove. That left the matter murky.
For another, the upheaval might simply have come too quickly and unfolded on too high a level.
After all, only Dominators, Deities, and Great Monarchs could have participated in and understood that God War. The Six Heavens God Calamity and the host of Yin Lord Evil Gods under its command were there too, of course.
By the time events spiraled out of control, Great Monarchs were trapped and gods were falling like rain. Only then did many people wake up to what was happening.
What followed was a heartbreaking, desperate mass relief effort. The unfamiliar, deadly Evil Poison spread rapidly across the entire Han Guang Star System, swallowing it whole. The reinforcements poured vast numbers of troops into that bottomless Abyss, and then the Tian Yuan Empire's governance across its hundred-billion-light-year domain collapsed piece by piece.
It was just as Liang Lu had told Ronan at the Relay Station:
In the Tian Yuan Empire's humanities General Education courses, early Calamity Era history had the lowest average scores. Most people avoided that period to one degree or another.
Perhaps those "sketchy" accounts were a reflexive response to the agony of reopening a wound.
Fortunately, Ronan was not trying to dig into the details of that history.
