Ancient Core Secret, Relics of Prehistoric Civilization

Longevity Sect, Cloudsea Main Peak.

Countless fragments of divine light slowly descended, and innumerable Divine Realm remnants merged into the continent's mountains, rivers, and ley lines.

After undergoing the baptism of the divine treasury, Douluo World's spiritual energy had grown dense as water, while the laws of heaven and earth continued to improve. The soil glimmered with a lustrous sheen, vegetation grew wildly, spiritual energy churned through the rivers, and the entire continent transformed and ascended at a visible pace.

Everyone absorbed divinity, and all living beings evolved.

Li Xuan stood quietly amid the clouds in white robes, his indifferent gaze piercing through the thick rock layers and reaching the depths of the continent's core.

The system's data was neatly displayed, precisely recording the continent's transformation process.

[Current Shock Points Balance: 344,600,000.]

[Continental Status: Intermediate plane stabilized. Ley line activity has surged, and the crustal seal has loosened.]

[Investigation Prompt: Extremely high ancient energy fluctuations detected beneath the core's rock strata.]

[Unknown Remnant: Aura of prehistoric civilization remains. Not of the Divine Realm, not of the current era.]

The Divine Realm had been destroyed, and the divine treasury had appeared. Everyone thought that this was the greatest secret of the continent.

No one knew that beneath the heavy crust lay an eternal secret history, deliberately erased and permanently buried.

Bzzzt—!

The silver-white Sky Screen spread out once more. Its gentle radiance penetrated the rock layers and shone directly into the earth's core.

There was no bloody slaughter, no judgment from the gods. This installment of the Sky Screen existed only to unveil the oldest sealed truth.

[Second Chapter of the New Era: Sealed Within the Earth's Core.]

[Before the Divine Realm descended, Douluo World once possessed a prehistoric advanced civilization.]

[Ancient destruction buried beneath rock strata; gods erased history and concealed the Plane Origin.]

The icy narration resounded throughout heaven and earth. Though its words were calm, they stirred monstrous waves in the hearts of all living beings.

The Divine Realm was not the beginning, and the gods were not the ancestors.

Before the Divine Realm set foot upon this plane, Douluo World already possessed a brilliant civilization, powerful lifeforms, and primordial power that transcended the mundane.

Across the land, all living beings abruptly stopped and stared at the Sky Screen in shock.

Spirit City.

Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly, and her Netherworld Divine Power trembled instinctively. She wielded the laws of the continent and had read all ancient records, yet none had ever documented traces of a prehistoric civilization.

"Historical fault lines. Blank eras."

"So it wasn't the passage of time. The gods had deliberately erased it."

Sea God Island.

Bo Saixi gazed at the dark rock layers beneath the deep sea, her eyes filled with gravity.

The deepest trench on the ocean floor had been a forbidden zone since ancient times. Even the Sea God had explicitly forbidden anyone from investigating it.

Only now did she understand that it was not a divine forbidden zone, but the burial ground of prehistoric civilization.

Clear Sky Sect's former site.

Tang Chen struck the ground with his hammer, and a cold gleam flashed through his aged eyes.

"I spent my life studying the path of the hammer, pursuing the limits of ancient martial arts."

"So the true ancient martial arts had already been severed and destroyed billions of years ago."

Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian's dragon scales stood on end, his ancient bloodline roiling without cease.

Within the Dragon Clan's inherited memories was a vague blank space that could not be traced back no matter what.

Now that the Sky Screen had revealed the truth, that blank space was precisely the prehistoric inheritance forcibly severed by the gods.

The images on the Sky Screen slowly shifted, passing through layers of crimson magma and solid rock.

The dim, deep world at the earth's core slowly unfolded before all living beings.

Massive fractured black metal structures, ancient stone statues buried in magma, shattered prehistoric machinery, and ruined walls covered in obscure runes.

The decaying ruins stretched for thousands of miles, sleeping silently in the depths underground.

There was no divinity, no Soul Power—only a primordial force that transcended Douluo World's existing system.

[Billions of years ago, Douluo World's native civilization flourished.]

[Prehistoric humans developed ley lines, controlled elements, forged divine weapons, and built colossal cities.]

[Living beings possessed powerful physiques and pure bloodlines. Without Martial Souls, they could still wield the energy of heaven and earth.]

[At civilization's peak, technology and martial arts coexisted. The strong could tear apart mountains and seas with their bare hands.]

The images shifted, revealing the appearance of prehistoric beings.

They had no Martial Souls and used no soul rings, yet their bodies were as hard as gods'. With a raised hand, they summoned wind and lightning; with a step, they shook mountains and rivers.

Colossal floating cities hovered in the ancient skies, intricate machines operated without rest, and humanity lived peacefully alongside primordial Soul Beasts. There was no slaughter, no plunder, no deception.

The entire continent was prosperous and flourishing, perfect as though formed by nature itself.

Billions of living beings stared blankly, their minds trembling violently.

So this continent had once been meant to be this perfect.

It was the Divine Realm that descended, shattered civilization, severed inheritance, and altered the rules.

The Sky Screen's light abruptly shifted, and the scene darkened.

Black divine radiance tore through the heavens as the first generation of gods crossed the void and forcibly entered primordial Douluo World.

The gods feared the terrifying talents of native lifeforms and coveted this plane's exceptional origin.

To occupy it forever and harvest it without end, the gods launched a war of annihilation.

[Prehistoric civilization resisted the gods. The bloody war lasted ten thousand years.]

[Native powerhouses slaughtered gods and beheaded saints, severely wounding the first-generation Divine Realm.]

[Unable to prevail, the gods detonated the Plane Origin and forcibly shattered the prehistoric continent.]

[One battle destroyed civilization, buried the ruins, and altered the laws of heaven and earth.]

Scalding magma erupted, mountains and rivers collapsed, land sank, and colossal cities crashed down.

A brilliant civilization perished overnight, and the blood of countless native powerhouses stained the earth.

The surviving lifeforms had their bloodlines weakened, their talents stripped away, and their potential imprisoned.

The gods altered the plane's laws and forcibly imposed the Martial Soul system, artificially creating gaps between the strong and weak.

From then on, all living beings were bound by shackles. Their bloodlines degenerated, their talents declined, and generation after generation fought among themselves and slaughtered one another.

All for the Divine Realm's convenience in raising livestock and harvesting them eternally.

The truth was cold and piercing, slamming viciously into the hearts of every living being.

So Martial Souls were shackles the gods used to weaken all living beings.

So soul rings were seals the gods used to imprison potential.

So the slaughter between humans and beasts was a chess game deliberately provoked by the gods.

Millions of years of cycles—schemes upon schemes, conspiracies at every step.

A remote Barren Mountain.

Tang San stared blankly at the prehistoric golden age within the Sky Screen, bitterness flooding his heart.

He had once been obsessed with Martial Souls, pursued soul rings, and believed in the power bestowed by gods.

Only in the end did he understand that all of it was nothing more than a vile means by which the gods enslaved all living beings.

The Twin Martial Souls he had taken such pride in were merely inferior shackles casually modified by the gods.

The soul bones he had fought desperately to obtain were merely cheap seals used by the gods to imprison living beings.

Ridiculous, tragic, and pitiful.

Xiao Yu stood among the trees, ripples appearing in her clear eyes.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she had been born to hide from humans and guard against being hunted.

Now, she finally learned that the hatred between humans and beasts should never have existed.

Every conflict had been orchestrated by the gods.

High above the clouds.

Qian Renxue stared at the ruins within the earth's core, her mind trembling.

The Angel God's inheritance, sacred bloodline, and divine position had once been the pursuits of her entire life.

Now she suddenly understood that so-called god-given talent was merely poison the gods used to tame their pawns.

The entire continent fell silent.

Everyone reflected on the past and saw through the gods' eternal conspiracy.

The Divine Realm not only harvested living beings—it also altered history, destroyed civilization, and regressed the plane.

It had forcibly turned a top-tier primordial continent into a livestock farm suitable for captivity.

Deep within the earth's core.

At the center of the black ruins, an ancient dark stone disk slowly floated.

The stone disk was covered in ancient patterns and emanated a heavy, savage aura, unbound by any existing rule.

[Secret Treasure of the Earth's Core: Primordial Dao Disk.]

[Effect: Strip away the gods' shackles, break the confinement of Martial Souls, and restore native physiques.]

[Unique Ability: Restore Douluo World's most primordial and pure Plane Origin.]

The Sky Screen's cold annotation appeared, striking directly at the hearts of all living beings.

Cast off Martial Souls, shatter the shackles, and return to the strongest physique of ancient times.

This was what the gods feared most, and the final remnant left behind by prehistoric civilization.

[Ding! Prehistoric truth exposed. The origins of all living beings have awakened!]

[Source-Tracing Shock Points Gained: +10,200,000!]

[Civilizational Grief and Indignation Points Gained: +9,500,000!]

[Current Shock Points Balance: 364,300,000!]

[Authorization Unlocked: Primordial Dao Disk retrieval. The secret treasure of the earth's core may be extracted.]

Longevity Sect, Cloudsea Hall.

Li Xuan looked down upon the ancient stone disk beneath the earth, his white robes fluttering gently in the wind.

The gods had erased history, concealed the truth, and left behind countless fragments and regrets.

Now that the Divine Realm had fallen and the shackles had broken, it was time to return this continent's most primordial power.

"Prehistoric civilization was innocent. All living beings should not be imprisoned."

"Today, I will retrieve the Primordial Dao Disk."

"I will break the shackles of Martial Souls, purify the origins of bloodlines, and return Douluo World to its ancient peak."

He pressed down lightly with a fingertip, and the earth trembled faintly.

Deep within the core, the black stone disk burst through magma and rock layers, slowly rising into the air.

A savage, ancient aura swept across the world, suppressing all acquired divine power and artificial rules.

Across the entire continent, the bodies of all living beings grew hot at once, and the invisible shackles within them loosened slightly.

The Sky Screen slowly dimmed, and a line of scarlet words branded itself across the sky.

[Next Chapter: The Dao Disk Appears!]

[All people will be reborn, and the shackles of Martial Souls will be completely shattered!]

Douluo World's primordial era was about to arrive.

Breaking free from every artificial restraint, all living beings would return to their pure origins.
