"A calamity lasting twelve Epochs?"
Chu Kuangren murmured.
One Epoch was 129,600 years.
Twelve Epochs meant it had happened over a million years ago.
What sort of calamity could have lasted until now?!
Zi Wuji and the others could not imagine it. They felt they had already touched upon this world's deepest secrets.
"Long ago, a group of visitors from beyond the heavens appeared outside Firmament Star. These visitors called themselves the Blood Tribe, and their aim was to enslave Firmament Star and turn us into their slaves."
"Because of this, the Emperors went to war with the Blood Tribe and ultimately held them outside Firmament Star, preventing them from setting foot here. But enormous sacrifices were made in the process. Aside from the countless predecessors who perished, the Heavenly Dao was also damaged in that war and deteriorated day by day."
"Fewer and fewer Emperors were born. Later, to recover its strength and restore itself, the Heavenly Dao entered dormancy. Only after more than an Epoch of self-evolution did it gradually recover, forming nine Emperor Positions in one go. This is the true reason there were no Emperors in Recent Antiquity!"
"And the Extraterrestrial Battlefield is where we fight the Blood Tribe. It lies outside Firmament Star, which is why it is called the Extraterrestrial Battlefield."
The Star-Transforming Great Emperor explained at length.
Everyone was stunned. Although the Star-Transforming Great Emperor had not said all that much, the information contained in his words was immense.
Chu Kuangren was also deep in thought.
The Blood Tribe had first appeared twelve Epochs ago. That should have been shortly after the War Against the Gods ended.
Was it because of the Blood Tribe's invasion that the Emperors had no opportunity to rescue the Chaos Dao Lord, leaving him trapped to this day?
