[Similarly, Douluo Star also experienced a cultural looting called Gods' Calamity.]
The voice of Sky Screen has not yet dissipated, but there has been an uproar on Douluo Star.
Gods' Calamity!
These four words alone are enough to tremble the hearts of countless creatures.
In the past years, Deities has always been Douluo Star, the existence that countless creatures look up to.
For ordinary people, Divine Realm is high above the world, and the gods possess power that is unimaginable to mortals, and can even determine the future and destiny of Soul Master.
Even if some people have doubts about the Divine Realm's various actions, few people dare to truly question the authority of the gods.
After all, in the old Douluo Star, gods were almost synonymous with strength and justice.
But now, Sky Screen has actually connected the gods with Cultural Catastrophe!
What does this mean?
Could it be that the decline of Douluo Star culture was not simply caused by the suppression of the aristocracy, but also by the black hands of the Divine Realm?
For a moment, countless people looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the long-suppressed discussion finally broke out.
"Isn't it? Is it Divine Realm's fault again?"
"Isn't the extinction of technology in the past enough to explain the problem? Now even Cultural Catastrophe is related to the gods. I don't think those gods are so noble!"
"Hiss! If it is really caused by the hands of the gods, then what do we ordinary people do? Are we unable to change our destiny for generations, and are we also included in their calculations?"
"I used to think that gods just didn't care about the life and death of mortals, but now it seems that it's probably much more than that!"
Questions and sounds spread among the crowd.
Some people were angry, some were scared, and some finally figured out things they had never understood before after a brief shock.
Why is it that Douluo Star has such a long historical heritage, but it has always been difficult to create a truly prosperous cultural system?
Why is Soul Master cultivation highly praised to the extreme, while other knowledge that can change civilization never gets the attention it deserves?
If all this is just the greed of the nobles, then after countless years, someone should try to break this situation.
But the reality is that Douluo Star's cultural development seems to have always been strangled by an invisible hand.
Now, Sky Screen finally gave the answer.
And this answer is more cruel than anyone imagined!
Just as Douluo Star people were talking about it, the Sky Screen picture suddenly changed.
The ancient Douluo Continent appeared in front of everyone.
That was a completely different era than today.
On the continent, there are many Various Kingdomss, and the Soul Master civilization is equally prosperous, but behind those magnificent cities and glorious palaces, there is hidden a disaster that is about to sweep the entire civilization.
Above the sky, divine light falls.
The blurry and majestic Deities shadows are high in the clouds, as if overlooking all the living beings at their feet.
Then, a cold Divine Edict spread throughout Various Kingdoms.
[Unify thoughts and maintain order!]
[Any ideas that are not conducive to Divine Realm rule are not allowed to continue to spread!]
[Any doctrine that may shake existing beliefs and affect the order of the mainland must be completely eliminated!]
The moment Divine Edict arrived, the kings and nobles in the picture knelt on the ground one after another.
For these rulers, Divine Realm's will is an iron law that cannot be violated.
Since the gods have given the order, they will naturally not hesitate at all.
Thus, a purge of culture and ideas began.
Ancient classics that were once treasured in palaces and colleges were moved out box by box.
Those books that recorded different ideas and different doctrines were regarded as dangerous things that could shake the rule.
Scholars who once spread new ideas were expelled, and voices trying to change the status quo were forcibly suppressed.
Many theories that have not yet grown up have disappeared in the long river of history before they even had time to leave a complete inheritance.
And the knowledge that had the opportunity to change the development direction of Douluo Star civilization was also completely buried in the purges.
The king and nobles acted in accordance with Divine Edict and eliminated all cultures that did not meet the requirements.
They don't care what this knowledge can bring to the mainland.
They only know that as long as they follow Divine Realm's requirements, their status will be protected.
As for whether ordinary people will lose the opportunity to understand the world as a result, and whether they will be trapped in the original class for a long time, who cares?
One word from the gods determines the fate of countless people.
The powerful rulers turned this purge into an excellent opportunity to consolidate their positions.
Divine Realm wants stable rule, and the nobles want to enjoy privileges from generation to generation.
The two sides hit it off immediately.
In the end, it was the entire Douluo Star civilization that paid the price!
Seeing this scene, countless Douluo Star people just felt chilled all over.
"Crazy! Absolutely crazy!"
"What exactly is recorded in those ancient books, and why are we not even allowed to take a look at them?"
"They say it's to maintain order, but those who are really being maintained are clearly the superior rulers!"
"What a Divine Realm! What a gods! It turns out that even our right to know the truth can be taken away by them at will!"
Angry voices kept ringing.
And Sky Screen didn't stop there.
The screen shifted again, reflecting the distant Sun Moon Continent.
There, Soul Guidance Technology once had a broader space for development.
Compared with the Douluo Continent, Sun Moon Continent pays more attention to the research of Soul Tool. Some researchers have even begun to try to combine knowledge and technology to explore a path different from the traditional Soul Master.
However, this development has not escaped the eyes of the gods.
Divine Realm does not allow any power that may escape existing control to appear.
As a result, the suppression of the Sun Moon Continent also came.
Those cultural ideas that had the opportunity to promote the progress of civilization were included in the scope of elimination.
Some research on Soul Guidance Technology was preserved in the cracks, but in addition, a large amount of knowledge and ideas related to it were destroyed in this catastrophe.
In the end, although Sun Moon Continent left behind part of the inheritance of Soul Guidance Technology, he still could not escape the invisible shackles set by the gods.
A civilization that could have had more possibilities was cut off from its path.
This is the so-called Gods' Calamity!
It was not an ordinary war, nor was it the fall of an empire.
It targets ideas, inheritance, and the infinite possibilities that a civilization should have!
The gods did not personally destroy every city on Douluo Star, but they used Divine Edict as a knife and mortal rulers as blades to erase the culture and ideas that were not in line with their own interests one by one.
This kind of dimensionality reduction strike is more concealed than swords and more cruel than war.
Because war can destroy a city, but it may not be able to destroy the spirit of a civilization.
And when the cultural inheritance is artificially cut off, when the thoughts of countless generations are forcibly restricted, a civilization will unknowingly lose the ability to explore the future.
By the time latecomers realize the problem, the erased knowledge has already become irretrievable history.
At this moment, countless people on Douluo Star finally fully understood.
The so-called Gods' Calamity is not to protect them at all!
Divine Realm keeps claiming to maintain order, but in fact he is personally deciding what kind of future Douluo Star can go towards.
They are afraid that mortals will have knowledge beyond tradition, that new ideas will impact the original rule, and even more afraid that one day, mortals will no longer need to look up to gods!
So, they chose the simplest and crudest method.
Nip everything that might threaten you in the bud!
And those things that are regarded as threats by the gods may just be the hope of a civilization moving towards a new world!
Within the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong slowly stood up.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Papal Hall was extremely depressing.
Qian Daoliu, many senior members of Spirit Hall, and those powerful men who once had awe of the Divine Realm, all remained silent.
They finally saw the true face of the Divine Realm.
If even culture and thought are controlled by the gods, then what is the difference between the so-called gods and the nobles who just want to rule the continent for generations?
Bibi Dong looked at Sky Screen, the chill in his eyes getting stronger.
"I see..."
"No wonder Douluo Star's civilization has never been able to truly get rid of its old shackles."
"It's not that they don't know how to develop, it's that from the beginning, someone didn't allow them to take another path!"
Bibi Dong's voice was not loud, but it shocked the hearts of everyone in the hall.
In the past, Spirit Hall's attempts to unify the continent were often regarded as ambitious by the major empires and sects.
But now, facing a Douluo Star whose thoughts are controlled by the Divine Realm, the significance of unifying the continent is no longer limited to the change of power.
If Spirit Hall can use the power of Huaxia Star to break the old order and re-establish a system that can promote the development of civilization, then Douluo Star may not have a chance to truly awaken!
Bibi Dong slowly raised his head, his eyes becoming firm.
"Since the gods are unwilling to let mortals have their own future, then this time, we will take back the future that belongs to mortals with our own hands!"
In the void of the universe, Chen Tian is also watching Sky Screen.
Regarding this Cultural Catastrophe, he did not reveal much surprise.
What Chen Tian really cares about is the reaction of Douluo Star people at this moment.
When a civilization begins to question its once unshakable authority, and when countless people finally realize that their predicament is not predestined, the seeds of change have already been planted.
And this is the beginning of Douluo Star's true awakening.
Today, Spirit Hall has the determination to resist the old order.
Under the guidance of Xuan Yuan Tian, Bibi Dong began to integrate the governance experience and development concepts of Huaxia Star into the future planning of the Spirit Hall.
A revolution sweeping the entire continent has quietly begun.
As the Douluo Star people gradually awaken, more and more people are beginning to realize that continuing to maintain the old order will only make the entire civilization trapped in the cage set by the gods forever.
If this is the case, why should they continue to endure it?
Join Spirit Hall, break the old dominance pattern, and push the entire Douluo Star towards a new future!
At this moment, Spirit Hall's unification plan is no longer just Bibi Dong's ambition.
It has gradually become a common choice for countless awakened people.
At the same time, the picture above Sky Screen changed again.
The ancient divine light shrouded the sky, and the dust-laden history was like a scar being reopened. Pictures about Gods' Calamity emerged one after another.
Those destroyed classics, those erased thoughts, those civilizations that lost their future under Divine Edict...
Finally, at this moment, it completely appeared before the eyes of all sentient beings in both worlds.
