The Archaic Age was an exceptionally magnificent era. Myriad spirits came into being, endless beyond measure. And because no matter what their origin, they were all spirits in essence, there was no such thing as reproductive isolation. When yin and yang joined, a new spirit was born.
The years of the Archaic Age were likewise measured in trillions upon trillions. Unlike the Sui Ancient Age, when Dao Gods had been relatively scarce, the Archaic Age held far too many spirits. Moreover, by then Dao Venerables had become orthodox, and the more ancient Dao Gods had been swept into history's rubbish heap. The one who ushered in the Archaic Age was, furthermore, the first immortal of the Dao Fruit system...
All these factors together made the Archaic Age the most enterprising era—and the most rebellious. The path of Dao Fruits was not any specific road, but merely a grand unified framework. Whatever one filled into that framework would ultimately determine what kind of fruit it bore.
The Great Dao was indeed boundless and endless, but the relatively simple concepts were limited. Simple did not mean weak. The more common something was, the greater its share within heaven and earth—for instance, the earth itself.
In the Sui Ancient Age, there had only been heaven and earth. All Dao Gods were nurtured within heaven and earth, yet heaven and earth were too vast. Not even the mightiest Dao God could possess every authority of heaven or earth.
By the Archaic Age, many Dao Gods born from heaven had discarded their Dao God bodies and fused them into their accompanying treasures, intending to use them to bear Dao Fruits in the future. Further on, these Dao Gods cultivated themselves into immortality. A great god named Hao forged immortality and became the first sun.
