The Nine Great Pure Lands
According to the Emperor of Humanity.
Due to the different flow rates of time.
Even if billions of years have passed in the Lower Realm, it is only tens of millions of years to Him.
But tens of millions of years is too short for Him.
His rise from the Multiverse to his attainment of Transcendence took hundreds of millions of years.
"The Emperor forged the Mountains and Seas and departed, returning only after a billion years."
That's a billion years.
Jiang Yuu shook her head upon hearing this.
"It's different. You have your perspective, and I have mine."
"All I know is that from the time you Transcendence until I arrived with the Angel Civilization, it was your and Human Civilization's perseverance that bought time for the beings of the Lower Realm to survive."
"That's billions of years."
"Haha, it's nothing to mention."
The Emperor of Humanity laughed with satisfaction.
He pointed to the Yuanshi Divine Mountain beneath his feet and said.
"Do you know that back then, His Emperor Yuanshi waited for me for three hundred million years, Beyond Transcendence?"
"A full three hundred million years!"
"Compared to the tens of millions of years I've waited for you, it's all too little."
But these words did not ease Jiang Yuu's mind; instead, they made him even more burdened.
Seeing that Jiang Yuu was determined to stick to his point of view, the Emperor of Humanity changed the subject.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Let's talk about the enemies of this Defiled World.
"That is, back then, when I Beyond Transcendence, reflecting on the past and future, I used my own traces to speak of the great enemy you spoke of."
"I think this is what you most want to know."
Jiang Yuu's expression turned serious as he answered.
"Indeed, Your Majesty, please enlighten me."
"Let's start with the very beginning of the story."
Even as his divine light gradually faded, the Emperor of Humanity's voice remained calm and unhurried as he spoke.
"Back then, His Emperor Yuanshi resided in a Pure Land Beyond Transcendence."
"You should know about the Pure Land. The traces left by His Emperor Yuanshi can also be seen in the Land of Truth and Absurdity."
"Yes, but I only know its name, not its meaning."
Jiang Yuu nodded.
"This Pure Land where His Emperor Yuanshi resides, it is unknown whether it was created by someone or formed naturally."
"Anyway, the Pure Land Pure Land already existed when the first person to arrive Upper Realm appeared."
"And this Pure Land where His Emperor Yuanshi resides is known as the Pure Land of Calamity."
"The Pure Land Land's territory is boundless and constantly expanding outwards."
"Beneath the Pure Land of Calamity, he holds sway over countless worlds."
"Within this world, there are countless mortal realms, each independent of the others."
"And these mortal realms are similar in size to a single universe within the Multiverse, a Super King Mountain within Boundless Mountains and Seas, or a super-plane within Endless Planes."
It seems so.
These worlds and the Multiverse Land of Being, but in reality, the Multiverse is a unified whole that integrates countless mortal realms.
The world beneath these Pure Land is actually a collective term for countless scattered mortal realms.
Yes, there is a difference.
The Emperor of Humanity continued speaking.
"Each realm contains a vast expanse of the mortal world, similar to the vast Land of True Nothingness we inhabit, which is the Lower Realm."
"The way these Lower Realm connect to the Pure Land is like a well; above the well is the Pure Land, and inside the well is the Land of Being."
"His Emperor Yuanshi once said that in those days, the Pure Land was like a vast sea, and wells connecting the various Lower Realm Land of Being on its surface."
Therefore, the Pure Land of Calamity where He resided at that time was also called the Sea of Calamity.
"Above the vast Calamity Sea lies Pure Land; beneath the calamity lies the endless mortal realm."
"At that time, because of the existence of the Pure Land, the conditions for Transcendence were not very strict."
"Because the Pure Land itself possesses the Authority and characteristics of those Transcendence One, and upon this Beyond Transcendence, it shelters every being who ascends to the Upper Realm."
"Therefore, in those long, long years, Transcendence to the Pure Land was not as difficult as it is for us today. They did not need to create the world; they only needed to hold Authority in the world. As long as they could successfully utilize the power of the entire world even once, they could Transcendence and reach the Pure Land."
Therefore, those who Transcendence at that time were not actually called Transcendence One, but rather Ascendant.
"Only."
In my opinion.
"The difference between those Ascendant and those Transcendence One is immeasurable. Only the Lord of the Pure Land can barely be compared to those Transcendence One like us."
There was a hint of pride in the Emperor of Humanity's tone.
In His view, those people in the Pure Land back then were nothing more than that, far inferior to those Transcendence One Transcendence by creating Land of Being.
In Jiang Yuu's view...
The system of Transcendence One established by the Yuanshi is essentially creating a Land of Being within Land of True Nothingness, to simulate the characteristics of the entire Pure Land. Those who Transcendence from this Pure Land naturally far surpass those Ascendant.
What extraordinary vision and understanding, what a wise idea, and yet it was actually realized.
"At that time, I used the term ' Upper Realm ' to refer to the entire known realm of Beyond Transcendence. In other words, within the known Upper Realm, there are nine supreme Pure Land, which correspond precisely to the nine major paths to Transcendence One."
