When the cultivators were just starting out, they actually proposed to coexist peacefully with the Eternal Deity and jointly explore and develop beyond the Eternal Continent, but this required the two to work together.
However, the proud and Eternal Deity refused, arrogantly believing that the dominant power should be in their hands.
After the negotiations broke down, a major war ensued.
At that time, the cultivator camp already had several Saint Absolute Peak Saint King of combat power, plus the existence of the Sage King Wendao, a super Absolute Peak Saint King, making it almost a one-sided situation.
The Eternal Deity were extremely shameful, directly revealing the spacetime coordinates of the Eternal True Tree Realm, which led many otherworldly forces to discover the highly coveted Eternal True Tree Realm.
This resulted in cultivators being attacked from both sides, suffering heavy losses and losing many powerful individuals in the surprise attack by powerful beings from another world.
Ultimately, the cultivators had no choice but to sign an alliance, leading to the current situation.
Of course, this answer came from the Immeasurable Saint Emperor.
There is definitely a subjective element to the discourse, which is biased towards the practitioners.
But Han Xuanji, being on the side of cultivators, naturally didn't find anything wrong with it. Instead, from the words of the Immeasurable Saint Emperor, a theory suddenly came to mind:
" The Dark Forest Principle?"
The words Han Xuanji blurted out puzzled the Immeasurable Saint Emperor.
Han Xuanji quickly explained that the so-called Dark Forest Principle roughly means that each civilization tries to protect itself while also trying to destroy other civilizations.
The cultivator civilization has now clearly exposed itself, attracting the attention of powerful enemies.
"Pretty much, your theory is quite accurate."
After thinking for a moment, the Immeasurable Saint Emperor revealed more about the truth of the Eternal Continent and the secrets of this world to Han Xuanji.
Over countless years, the powerful beings of the Eternal Continent have naturally learned many secrets about this world.
Since Han Xuanji would have to learn this knowledge sooner or later anyway, she might as well let him talk about it.
"Our Eternal Continent is the center of the Eternal True Tree Realm. It is a world containing countless Primal Chaos universes, with extremely high potential. It is known as the Source World, and together with countless other Source World, it forms the Infinite True Realm."
"By crossing the Primordial Sea, one can reach the Infinite True Realm beyond the Eternal Continent."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor slowly revealed the truth of the world, knowledge that even within the Sacred Court, only Saint King- level powerhouses could know:
" The Infinite True Realm is also extremely cruel. Within this infinite space, there are too many unknowns and dangers. Even a supreme being may encounter irresistible erosion."
"Um."
Han Xuanji nodded in deep agreement. He knew that even Absolute Peak Saint King like the Undying Saint King had encountered great terror and was forced to abandon everything and reincarnate to start anew.
This was Absolute Peak Saint King with extremely strong survival abilities; if it were someone with weaker survival abilities, they would probably have died inside.
Those top-tier experts who wanted to venture out weren't necessarily looking for death.
Han Xuanji didn't even need to think; he knew that staying in his hometown would make it much more difficult to reach a higher level...
Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken countless years for only one Sage King Wendao to seemingly reach the Supreme Realm.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor quickly provided his answer:
"In the Source World, normally only one supreme-level expert can be born at most. In fact, in most Source World, it's already considered quite good if even one Absolute Peak Saint King- level expert is born."
"So, our world is already considered a very powerful Source World?"
Han Xuanji nodded slightly; he already knew this.
"Nature."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor spoke with a touch of pride, mysteriously revealing an answer to Han Xuanji:
"According to those powerful beings from other worlds, our world is an Origin-level world with extremely terrifying potential."
"An Origin-level world?"
This was the first time Han Xuanji had heard this claim.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor solemnly said:
"That's right. Our Origin World not only has the potential to give birth to many supreme-level powerhouses, but if we can control this Origin World, we can directly create a powerhouse at the level of Origin Sovereign."
Upon hearing the new term, Han Xuanji couldn't help but ask:
"So, does that mean the Origin Sovereign is a being even more powerful than the Supreme Powerhouse?"
"Naturally, and the difference is enormous. When supreme experts go to other Source World, under the suppression of the world's rules, they can normally only exert their peak-level combat power."
The Origin Sovereign possesses unparalleled combat power in other realms, and is absolutely invincible within their own Source World.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor answered slowly, his words revealing his longing for the Origin Sovereign.
"Is it that scary...?"
Han Xuanji was stunned. So, if an Origin Sovereign were to come to the Eternal Continent, wouldn't they be invincible?
Could it be that the terrifying being in the simulation is the Origin Sovereign?
But that shouldn't be the case either. If it really is the Origin Sovereign, then they wouldn't need to fight; the other side could have already crushed them.
After a moment's thought, Han Xuanji asked:
"The desire to become the Origin Sovereign must be related to the divine tree, right?"
Han Xuanji knew the key to their world almost without much thought.
"Yes."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor acknowledged Han Xuanji's answer and explained:
"If one can control the Eternal Divine Tree, one can indeed become the ruler of this world."
"However, to control the Divine Tree, one must at least be a Supreme-level expert."
The supreme powerhouses in other worlds are basically world rulers at the origin level. They are Pseudo-Supreme powerhouses who control the Source World, and it is almost impossible for them to become the rulers of our world.
The Eternal Divine Tree strongly rejects powerful beings from other worlds, not to mention that once someone controls Source World, they can no longer control other Source World —this is a constraint imposed by the supreme rules of the Infinite True Realm.
"Then why is our world an Origin-level world? Is there any special reason behind it?"
Han Xuanji keenly perceived a crucial issue.
There is definitely a fundamental difference between the Origin World and the Source World.
"Well... I'm not really sure either."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor hesitated for a moment, then said:
"It might be related to the legendary Origin Principle. Although it's difficult for those powerful beings from other worlds to become Origin Sovereign, if they master the Origin Principle, then it's possible for them to break through to the Ruler realm through the Origin Principle."
"The so-called Origin Principle should be the supreme rule of the corresponding Infinite True Realm. Those who can master the supreme rule can naturally break the rules of the Source World and step into the ultimate realm."
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji's mind stirred, and he asked:
"Does this mean that only the Origin World can contain the Origin Rule?"
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor pondered for a moment and replied:
"Rather than saying that the Origin World contains the Origin Rule, it's more accurate to say that the Origin World exists because of the existence of the Origin Rule. And the Eternal Divine Tree may contain an Origin Principle, which is why powerful beings from other worlds are eager to annex our world."
