#827 - Recalling the past, the truth

Qin Changqing smiled and said, "True Lord is joking. Even if you've lost your physical body and divine position, Erlang Shen is still Erlang Shen. The legend lives on!"

These words immediately gave White Bone Yang Jian a great impression of Qin Changqing. He strode into the palace, with Qin Changqing following closely behind.

He scanned the hall with his eyes. Although the time was short, it had been cleaned meticulously, spotlessly. Dozens of towering pillars stood in the magnificent palace, carved with dragons and phoenixes, creating an extraordinary atmosphere.

White Bone Yang Jian flew to the throne at the very top, gently stroking the armrest, then slowly turned around and sat down. The vertical pupil in the center of his brow instantly burst forth with dazzling divine light.

At this moment, he seemed to have regained his former glory, and an aura of looking down upon the world swept across all directions.

Qin Changqing looked at White Bone Yang Jian sitting on the throne, his heart filled with emotion.

As expected of True Lord Erlang, even with a body of white bones, he still couldn't hide the demeanor ingrained in his soul!

"True Lord, I have a question. Could you enlighten me?"

Qin Changqing asked.

White Bone Yang Jian nodded: "Friend Changqing, please speak freely."

Qin Changqing asked the question in his heart: "In the ancient times, gods were everywhere. What exactly happened that caused all the gods to disappear, even turning you into this appearance?"

White Bone Yang Jian was immediately a little surprised: "Didn't Senior Qingyun tell you?"

Qin Changqing smiled wryly: "Many years ago, I knew that the Alliance Leader's origins were extraordinary, and he was an incredible figure even among the ancient gods. I also asked about the reason for the disappearance of the gods in the ancient times, but the Alliance Leader was very secretive about it and didn't say much. So, I would like to ask True Lord to enlighten me."

White Bone Yang Jian pondered slightly, then sighed: "Perhaps when you asked, the great calamity had not yet passed. Senior Qingyun was afraid that you would be contaminated by karma, so he didn't tell you the reason. Now that the great calamity has passed, and even Tathagata and Shen Ji have appeared, then telling you shouldn't be a problem."

Qin Changqing immediately showed a listening expression, knowing that a sealed past was about to be revealed.

White Bone Yang Jian's vertical pupil in the center of his brow opened slightly, as if he was thinking, and then he slowly began to speak.

"The God Realm of that time was very large, much larger than your so-called Immortal Realm now. Even many gods couldn't reach the edges. There were also many powerful gods in the God Realm, which were divided into Innate Gods and Acquired Gods. Innate Gods were conceived by heaven and earth and were born with divine bodies. Acquired Gods cultivated into gods by virtue of their powerful talents, or were granted divine positions to become gods!"

Qin Changqing's eyes flickered.

Sure enough, acquired people could also cultivate into gods. Moreover, according to White Bone Yang Jian's meaning, it didn't seem too difficult to cultivate into a god in the ancient times.

And they could be granted divine positions to become gods. Wouldn't that be a meteoric rise?

What exactly were divine positions?

They actually had such domineering power!

However, he didn't interrupt and listened to White Bone Yang Jian's quiet narration.

"In the God Realm of that time, the three Saints were the leaders, namely Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun. Their strength and cultivation had reached an incredible level. They were Innate Gods who appeared at the beginning of the God Realm's birth, and they were extremely powerful. If I'm not mistaken, Senior Qingyun was probably a powerful existence born in that era, but Senior Qingyun was relatively low-key and not known to outsiders!"

White Bone Yang Jian analyzed.

Qin Changqing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

Brother, you're really good at imagining things. I didn't even know I was so awesome!

"Are Innate Gods necessarily stronger than Acquired Gods?"

Qin Changqing couldn't help but ask.

White Bone Yang Jian glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Some Acquired Gods have extraordinary talents, and their cultivation strength is not weaker than ordinary Innate Gods. If they have the opportunity to obtain a divine position and master some powerful divine artifact, they can even rival Divine Kings and Divine Venerables!"

Qin Changqing's heart stirred, and he asked again: "How are the cultivation levels of gods divided?"

In legends, Erlang Shen's combat power was considered very strong, but he didn't expect that he was only a Divine Venerable.

White Bone Yang Jian smiled and said: "My mother was an Innate God, and my father was an Acquired God. The combination of the two gave birth to a divine fetus, which can only be considered a semi-divine fetus. Therefore, I had extraordinary talent. In addition, I was later conferred and obtained a divine position, which allowed me to possess cultivation strength comparable to a Divine Venerable!"

Qin Changqing's eyes flickered rapidly.

Divine fetus?

Sure enough, it was like this. In that case, he might really be able to conceive an Innate Divine Fetus!

"Since the God Realm in the ancient times was so powerful, with so many gods and the Three Pure Ones in charge, why did it lead to the collapse of the entire God Realm and the fall of all the gods?"

Qin Changqing was eager to know the truth.

White Bone Yang Jian sighed for a long time and smiled bitterly: "The Three Pure Ones? Hehe, the great calamity of that year was provoked by the Three Pure Ones!"

"What?"

Qin Changqing suspected that he had misheard.

The fall of all the gods was actually because of the Three Pure Ones?

How could this be possible!

Anger also flashed in White Bone Yang Jian's vertical pupil, and he shook his head and said: "The cultivation of the Three Pure Ones had actually been fixed at the beginning of the God Realm's birth. They were the heads of all the gods and could no longer be improved. However, they were unwilling to accept this, so the three of them planned for many years, led the gods into the game, used themselves as furnaces, refined the gods, and wanted to use this to break through their own shackles, transcend the boundaries, and transform into the Heavenly Dao!"

Hiss…

Qin Changqing took a breath of cold air. He never expected the truth to be like this!

The Three Pure Ones' ambitions were so great.

They actually妄图化身 天道, wanting to transform into the Heavenly Dao and become the supreme existence!

White Bone Yang Jian sighed: "The Three Pure Ones personally set up the situation. Even if some of the gods had noticed it, they were powerless and could only watch themselves die. Among them, many people escaped by relying on their own methods, but their foundations were also erased. For example, me, apart from the Heavenly Eye, I have nothing left. Divine position, divine artifacts, all gone…"

Qin Changqing couldn't help but sigh as well.

The once infinitely glamorous True Lord Erlang had become so downcast. How could people not feel emotional?

"Then what about the current Three Pure Ones? Did they succeed?"

Qin Changqing asked.

White Bone Yang Jian looked up at the sky and shook his head slightly: "I don't know, maybe they did. Refining all the gods, even if they didn't succeed, they are not far from success. The great calamity of that year also led to the collapse of the originally complete God Realm, shattering into countless fragments. And the Immortal Realm where you are now is the largest of them!"

Qin Changqing's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this, and his scalp felt a little numb.

So the current Immortal Realm is only a part of the God Realm back then!
