Prosperity and Knowledge Are Actually a Cage Manual? All Beings Are Fuel for Heavenly Principles' Cycle! Heavenly Principles: Let the Prisoners
In the Sea God Pavilion, Bei Bei, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Xiao Xiao, and Tang Ya, these former Shrek Seven Devils, had long lost their youthful vigor.
"We... the number one sect we fought for before, looking back now, doesn't it seem like we were fighting to be the king of the kindergarten in a big yard?" Xu Sanshi said bitterly, his Black Tortoise Soul Beast even transmitted a trace of sorrow at this moment.
He Caitou didn't speak, just silently wiped his Soul Tool. But the intricate instrument seemed to have lost its former luster in his eyes. The crystallization of human wisdom, unable to break free from the shackles of the "Human Realm."
Clear Sky Sect.
Niu Tian and Titan, the two divine beasts, had stood up again, but their backs could no longer stand as straight as before.
"The earth's veins carry all living beings..." Niu Tian, the Sky Azure Bull Python, was himself the essence of the Earth. He understood the meaning of this sentence better than anyone. "We soul beasts are born from the earth's veins, and after death... our souls return to the earth's veins. But our king is fighting..."
"Are we the filth?" The Titan Giant Ape's voice was extremely hoarse. "Because we are too powerful, not tolerated by 'Heavenly Principles,' so we should be eliminated, the 'filth' sent into the void realm's undercurrent?"
This guess sent the hearts of the two divine beasts into an abyss.
This made them feel more despair than being hunted by humans for Soul Rings.
Because this meant their existence was a "mistake" from the fundamental structure of this world!
Bright God Realm.
Chang Gong Wei, Lei Xiang, Hai Long, Tian Hen, these powerhouses from different worlds who had finally gathered here, their faces were so solemn they could almost materialize.
"The Three Realms..." Chang Gong Wei, as a former God King, understood worlds far beyond ordinary people. "This is a cage, a perfectly divided, functional energy cycle cage!"
"The ascension we pursued was merely entering the Light Realm, the energy source region, from the Human Realm, the free-range area." Hai Long's tone was self-mocking. "But we are still in the cage, and even... become a part of this cage, providing energy for its operation."
Zi, the ruler of the East Dragon Empire, a descendant of the Dragon God, his body was faintly glowing. The dragon blood within him resonated with Gu Yuena's previous sensing, a lament for his ancestor Apep, and also anger at the truth of the Three Realms.
Yes, anger!
After sorrow and self-reproach, an uncontrollable rage began to quietly sprout in the hearts of countless powerhouses.
Why?
Why should living beings be divided into ranks?
Why can all beings only struggle on the "earth's pulse"?
Why should they be treated as "filth" and collected after death?
Who granted the high and mighty "Heavenly Principles" the authority to define all this?
In the God Realm Committee, Tang San spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every God King, like a thunderclap.
"This structure, though seemingly perfect, has a major flaw."
All eyes focused on him.
"A cycle needs a driving core." Tang San's gaze seemed to penetrate the light screen, looking towards the unknown higher dimensions. "Who is maintaining this cycle? The Human Realm, the Light Realm, the Void Realm... where does their energy ultimately flow?"
Mi Family Douluo
The text on the light screen, like an imprint, was deeply etched into the souls of every living being. The cruel truth about the cage of the Three Realms made countless self-proclaimed extraordinary powerhouses feel the immense malice from the world's structure itself.
Oppression, dead silence.
Whether it was the Titled Douluo who once dominated the Douluo Continent or the high and mighty deities in the God Realm, they were all like their throats were choked by an invisible hand, their breathing heavy with despair.
Just as this despair was about to completely consume everyone's minds, the text on the light screen quietly changed. The old images and text receded like a tide, and lines of new text, emitting a faint golden glow, slowly appeared.
[Divine Revelation]
[Seeking truth is the wisdom brought by prosperity, not the seed required to foster prosperity.]
[All things have an end, but that does not mean there is no eternity.]
[At the end of the cycle, the Earth will usher in new life again, forming a closed loop.]
These lines were not as direct and cruel as before, but rather filled with a profound, unfathomable philosophy. However, in the eyes of those who had just learned the truth of the cage, every word and sentence seemed like a merciful pronouncement.
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Emperor Xueye slumped on his throne, looking at the light screen, and muttered, "Wisdom brought by prosperity... not seeds... so, we spent our lives governing the country, making the empire prosperous and strong, only to be able to understand this 'revelation'?"
What a mockery this was. The achievements they pursued their entire lives were, in the eyes of "Heavenly Principles," merely cultivating smarter prisoners who could understand their own fate.
Star Luo Empire, Imperial Palace.
Dai Hao clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. As a generation's overlord, he had never felt so powerless. "Closed loop... the end of new life is the beginning of the next cycle. Everything we do is just going in circles?"
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong leaned beside Oscar, her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul dim. She remembered the sect's ancestral teachings, remembered everything her father and the two grandpas, Sword and Bone, had sacrificed for the sect.
"We worked hard to accumulate wealth, increase our strength, and develop the sect to be the strongest on the continent, but it turns out... it was just to make the 'prosperity' indicator look better?" Her voice trembled slightly.
Beside her, Ning Tian, the new generation sect master, also had a pale face. He had always taken it as his mission to revitalize the sect, but now, this sense of responsibility was shrouded in a great void.
Shrek Academy.
"It sounds like they're telling us not to waste our efforts, just quietly wait for the world to restart." Xu Sanshi's bitterness turned into sharp self-mockery. "Since it's all a closed loop anyway, what's the point of us fighting?"
Bei Bei did not retort. He just looked up at the sky, the golden text like an insurmountable chasm.
Star Dou Great Forest.
"The Earth will usher in new life again..." Niu Tian chewed on this sentence. The Sky Azure Bull Python's perception of the Earth made him understand that this was not an empty statement. The depletion and rebirth of the earth's qi was a natural law.
"But there's no place for us in this closed loop!" The Titan Giant Ape punched the ground, shaking it. "Every rebirth, does it mean our kind will be treated as 'filth,' cleaned out? And then the survivors will wait for the next 'rebirth' and 'cleaning'?"
