341: Section 341

"Clan Chief, my memories haven't fully recovered; it's like a faint mist obscures my past.

I can only recall fragments from before the Seal…"

Su Zhou listened, his eyes slightly lowered, motioning for him to continue.

In the Late Stage of the Ancient Chaos Era, all Dao were collapsing…

Su Nan’s voice, uncharacteristically, trembled slightly.

One must know that he was the only Invincible One of his generation, perfectly aligned with the Invincible Road, having imprinted it beneath his feet.

His mental fortitude was unimaginably formidable.

Yet, such an existence, when mentioning Ancient Chaos, had a trembling voice, which showed how terrifying the scene was at the end of Ancient Chaos.

Then, Su Nan recounted the parts of his memory that had recovered.

The sky shattered, the Star River was annihilated, and stars lost their life, becoming dead stars.

Countless races went mad; originally powerful beings began to demonize and slaughter all living things.

The closer they were to the Dao, the more naturally powerful the race, the more demonic and terrifying they became.

The firmament was stained red with blood, and silent whispers echoed in the ears of all living beings.

Within the River of Time, supreme powerhouses sought to intervene and stop all this, but as soon as the River of Time appeared, it was pressed down from the firmament by several distorted, terrifying large hands.

All living beings were distorting, creatures were wailing, and once brilliant Dao appeared one after another, then began to distort.

Many creatures began to slaughter; weaker races were massacred, while some powerful races even started to kill each other.

They killed each other while shedding tears, and every tear brought sorrow to all living beings.

The ten bright moons in the sky were forcibly pulled down to the mortal realm by a pair of large hands.

Nine great suns were dim and lifeless.

Spiritual Qi began to become turbid, like an invisible calamity sweeping everything.

The Human Race, being naturally unaligned with any Dao, was not affected by that anomaly.

But everything outside was too chaotic.

The Su Family was fighting a great clan, a clan that wielded a certain power of rules, whose members were born with Palm Moon and were immensely powerful.

And the Su Family was governing a Star Domain, protecting the world and battling that clan.

Blood!

Blood rain dripped from the firmament at all times!

That was the sorrow of Heaven and Earth, and the weeping of the Dao, after the fall of powerful beings.

The Su Family protected an entire Star Domain, countless stars.

Finally, Su Nan, as the most talented clan member of that era, was Sealed by the Clan Chief within the Divine Origin.

He slept for countless eras, then awakened.

"Su Nan, the All Heavens undergo tribulations, Heaven and Earth undergo great changes, the Dao cannot be trusted, you can only trust yourself!"

"Fight your way through the world, forge your own Road!"

The Clan Chief's voice was indifferent and mighty, shaking the stars of the All Heavens.

And that face appeared before him again after countless eras.

Listening to Su Nan's narration,

Su Zhou couldn't help but be inwardly startled.

The Late Stage of the Ancient Chaos Era was actually so terrifying, all living beings with Dao affinity had fallen into madness.

But Su Zhou knew why this was.

Because deep within the Dao, there existed certain unspeakable existences; they were distorting and changing the Dao.

Thereby, causing living beings naturally close to the Dao to go mad, and influencing various Dao, leading to the demise of the Ancient Chaos Era.

He already had some conjectures about the general situation of the Ancient Chaos Era.

He had once seen parts of the scene in the Void Great Emperor's Dao field.

Combined with Su Nan's words, it was enough for Su Zhou to guess part of the truth.

During the Ancient Chaos Era, the most prosperous era of the Heaven and Earth Dao, powerful existences felt an immense threat, even Emperors who transcended the River of Time would die because of it.

Some Emperors, in order to survive and seek change, wanted to do something to the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

It might have been a sacrifice, or something else, but in any case, for them, everything was an illusion, only their true selves were real.

Therefore, all living beings were merely their pawns; they wanted to use everything in the All Heavens as stakes to implement a plan.

But the Void Great Emperor did not allow it; this mighty Emperor transformed into the Dao itself to stop everything, striving for a glimmer of life for the All Heavens.

He used his own Dao as a sacrifice, Sealing the masterminds behind the scenes deep within the Dao.

Their original scheme could not continue.

In the end, they could only influence the Dao.

Causing the living beings of the All Heavens to go mad, making all living beings sacrifices, but because they themselves were Sealed within the Dao.

They were unable to finalize it, therefore, there were still many races and powerhouses in the All Heavens resisting the taboo.

Then, the Ancient Chaos Era perished, and the Void Great Emperor forcibly tore open a crack of life for future generations, which led to the subsequent eras.

But after piecing everything together, a few more questions arose in Su Zhou's mind.

First, what kind of change could actually affect a Great Emperor?

One must know what kind of mighty existences Great Emperors are; they transcend the depths of time, forget everything, ancient and modern; the All Heavens may perish, but the Emperor does not; the Myriad Realms may fall, but the Emperor does not!

They have already become concepts of the Origin Dao, even capable of defining the Origin Dao; everything in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms is merely the Emperor's plaything.

What kind of existence could threaten an Emperor then…

Unless…

Unless…

Unless there existed an era before Ancient Chaos, an era with existences that surpassed Emperors, with hidden dangers capable of threatening Emperors!

At this moment, Su Zhou's eyes suddenly changed.

Yes!

That's right!

His previous thoughts were wrong; he had once thought that those fallen Emperors Sealed by the Void Great Emperor were above the Dao.

But at this moment, he suddenly had some enlightenment!

Above the Dao, those eyes coveting all living beings were not them!

But other, more terrifying existences.

His previous Karma calculation was wrong!

First, a great terror emerged from the depths of the Dao, and the Great Emperors discovered something amiss and a threat, so they wanted to employ some means, using Heaven and Earth as a sacrifice, but the Void Great Emperor forbade it and Sealed them deep within the Dao.

In other words…

Before the Emperors were Sealed, there already existed some unspeakable existence deep within the Dao.

What about now…

If that existence could threaten Emperors… then now… the Emperors Sealed deep within the Dao by the Void Great Emperor…

Are they still there…

Even as Su Zhou thought of this point, he couldn't help but feel the All Heavens quiet down.

It was as if merely having such a thought was a taboo, a great terror.

Behind him, a deity came holding a lamp, and the Dao candlelight swept across all living beings, incinerating countless obscure threads of Karma.

That strange feeling then disappeared.

He had originally thought he would face fallen Emperors, but now it seems…

He will face not just Emperors…

But possibly existences that even make Emperors tremble…

Thinking of this, Su Zhou's desire to become stronger became even more urgent.

And the second point was why, in Su Nan's memory, it was he who Sealed him.

What Karma was involved in this?

Su Zhou deduced his own Karma threads and found that he indeed had Karma connections with Su Nan from a very long time ago.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, as if he sensed something.

Then, Su Zhou changed the subject.

He chatted with Su Nan about the Prodigy situation of the Family over these years, after hearing that Su Chensha alone surpassed ninety sequences of the Su Family.
