Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 1166 A Message From The Past (3)

Yun Lintian frowned deeply. Before this, he had never bothered with the so-called ancient era, even though he was curious about it deep down. However, as time passed, he began to wonder what happened in those years and how it did disappear without a trace or record.

Now, the records he was looking for had appeared in front of him. The curiosity in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Shen Liqiu carefully picked up one of the books with the title “Xia Kingdom” and opened it.

The contents inside stated that year 100 of the Azure Calendar, the Xia Kingdom, had been established. A lot of heavenly phenomena occurred on that day, and everyone seemed to regard the Xia Emperor as the man of heaven.

The Xia Kingdom was extremely powerful and said to be the ruler of the Azure World. There were more than a thousand of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm experts serving the royal family.

Reading to this point, Shen Liqiu gasped in shock. What kind of existence was that to have a thousand Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm powerhouse under their command?

As far as she knew, there were around a hundred of such experts in the past five thousand years. She couldn’t imagine how many of them back then. Five thousand? Or ten thousand?

This had also proven that the environment of the Azure World in the past was several times better than the current one.

She understood that the world would eventually decline at some point, but she didn’t think it would be this fast in just a span of thousands of years… There must be something tricky in this.

While Shen Liqiu was engrossed in the Xia Kingdom’s records, Yun Lintian also looked at a record of a powerful dynasty called the Yun Dynasty.

The Yun Dynasty was established around eight thousand years ago and is said to be the most powerful dynasty that the world had ever had.

Instead of having an emperor like the other dynasties, the Yun Dynasty was founded by a woman, the Eternal Empress, Empress Yun. For some reason, her real name was nowhere to be seen in the record.

However, despite how powerful they were described, the Yun Dynasty reigned for a short period of a thousand years.

The main reason was Empress Yun had abruptly disappeared without a trace and left a few inferior successors behind. Ultimately, they were swallowed by various powerful factions and vanished into the river of time.

The more Yun Lintian looked at it, the more familiar he felt. This Yun Dynasty was pretty much similar to his Misty Cloud Palace in the past, where the founder was a peerless woman and eventually declined as she disappeared.

The most important thing was this dynasty’s territory was located on today’s Northern Continent. This made Yun Lintian feel even more strange about it.

“Lintian, come to look at this.” Suddenly, Shen Liqiu’s voice resounded, bringing Yun Lintian out of his thoughts.

He put the record about the Yun Dynasty down and came to Shen Liqiu’s side.

“The Great War?” Yun Lintian looked at the book in Shen Liqiu’s hand in surprise.

Shen Liqiu handed the book to him and said with a serious expression. “Look at it.”

Yun Lintian flipped the book open and began to read the contents inside.

The first paragraph described how the Great War started around seven thousand years ago. At that time, there were several notable factions aside from the Yun Dynasty of the north, and everyone oddly lived in harmony until one day.

On that fateful day, the sky changed, and the world was suddenly covered with a black mist. Countless spatial tunnels appeared everywhere, and profound beasts that were black as ink kept pouring in.

The original peaceful world was suddenly turned upside down since. Wars broke out all over the place, and humanity gradually declined as there were too many internal strifes.

The wars continued for more than two hundred years, and more than eighty percent of the world had been occupied by the invaders.

At that time, only four humanity factions remained: the Southern Phoenix Dynasty, the Raging Sun Dynasty, Azure Immortal Palace, and the Yun Dynasty. These four factions were the last beacons of humanity in this world. They later formed an alliance under the Azure Immortal Palace’s lead.

Afterward, they began to make a counterattack by deploying various possible means. Fifty years later, they managed to take back around half of the world, but eventually, the loss on their side wasn’t small, which made them unable to move further.

The wars entered a stalemate period for another hundred years until the Eternal Empress Yun sacrificed herself, successfully sealing all the spatial tunnels that connect to the other worlds. And this result made the invaders unable to call for reinforcement.

Since the environment of the Azure World was originally unsuitable for those invaders to live in as it lacked the dark element, they eventually declined as time passed.

In the end, the invaders were forced to retreat and hide under the Azure Immortal Palace Master’s ferocious offenses. Since then, the world has gradually returned to its originally peaceful day.

Yun Lintian read until the last paragraph, and his brows involuntarily knitted together because he discovered that the Yun Dynasty and the Eternal Empress Yun’s information had actually disappeared as if someone had erased it.

“Don’t you feel they are very similar?” Shen Liqiu said solemnly. “It’s like history repeated itself exactly the same way all over again.”

She took a deep breath and said. “And now it’s about to repeat again.”

Yun Lintian slowly closed the book and said. “Indeed. The so-called Azure Immortal Palace is similar to the current Azure Palace. And the Eternal Empress Yun is almost the same as my sect’s founder.”

He frowned deeply and said further. “Also, how did these factions disappear after the wars end? There’s nothing written about it here.”

Shen Liqiu looked at the books on the shelf and found nothing regarding this question. In the end, she said. “Well, it doesn’t matter for the time being. We should find out how history seems to repeat itself for the second time, and now, the third time is about to happen.”

“Maybe Senior Ning should know something?” Yun Lintian said. He felt that Shen Ning must know something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t tell him to come here in the first place.

At this moment, a bright light suddenly shot out of the crystal ball, filling the entire floor…
