Chapter 6 The Great Dark Age

　　Li Yao's eyelashes fluttered, his face was a little heavy, "The Great Dark Age" is the most important period in the development of cultivation civilization, and it can even be said that it is the Great Dark Age that divided the "classical cultivation period" and "modern cultivation period", this is a very classic question that everyone knows, but it is easy to answer comprehensively. This is a very classic question that everyone knows, but it is not easy to answer comprehensively. 　　After pondering for a moment, Li Yao's mind was racing and his thoughts were flying: 　　"Ancient cultivators took immortality as their goal and created an incomparably brilliant ancient cultivation civilization, they established an upgrade system from qi refining, foundation building to ji dan, yuan ying ...... up to transmigration, true immortality, and immortality, and they went forward along the path, constantly exploring the limits of life, and marching towards the endless stars and oceans. ocean." 　　"During the heyday of the Ancient Cultivation civilization, the Ancient Cultivators opened up one great world after another, constructed ancient teleportation arrays that ran through the endless sea of stars, shuttled between stars and worlds at will, and even began to explore the ultimate mysteries of time!" 　　"As the Ancient Cultivation Civilization continued to evolve, the Ancient Cultivators became more and more powerful and long-lived, and the number of powerful people increased." 　　"In the early days of the Ancient Cultivation Civilization, there were only hundreds of Jindan Stage Cultivators and dozens of YuanYing Stage Cultivators in the Three Thousand Worlds; as for 'God Transformation Elder Monsters' and 'Transitional True Monarchs', they were unheard of, and it would only be a matter of dozens of worlds and a few thousand years before one could possibly appear, definitely an existence of a phoenix feather!" 　　"However, in the late stage of the ancient cultivation civilization, like a big explosion, high-level cultivators multiplied geometrically - at that time, there was the saying that 'YuanYing were as numerous as dogs, and Transformation Spirits were all over the place'." 　　"Such a large number of high-ranking cultivators all needed huge resources to cultivate, and coupled with the fact that more and more cultivators reached near immortality, their thirst for resources also reached - infinity!" 　　"In the beginning, it was possible to satisfy the greedy high-level cultivators by developing new great worlds, but after tens of thousands of years of development and the discovery of nearly five thousand worlds, there was a whole millennium where the ancient cultivator civilization was unable to discover even one more new great world." 　　"Worlds are finite, and the claims of cultivators are infinite - the ancient cultivators took a thousand years to understand this truth, and logically, in order to compete for the limited resources, civil war immediately broke out." 　　"Three thousand years of civil war swept through all of the Great Thousand Worlds, ancient cultivators who could call the wind and rain and move mountains and seas fought each other on every star! Planets were burning, ancient teleportation arrays were destroyed, crystal warships exploded in a series of explosions, high-level cultivators called 'immortal' fell one after another, and the 'JieDan powerhouses' and 'YuanYing old monsters' were even more like mortals they once regarded as ants, turning into worthless cannon fodder, going up in smoke under an attack that was enough to destroy the planet." 　　"In the late stages of the civil war, more than 70% of the Great Thousand Worlds were destroyed, and even more countless Great Thousand Worlds cut off their connection with the main world, with more than 90% of the high-ranking cultivators turned into ashes, and the rest of the lower-ranking cultivators languishing in the ruins." 　　"The war seemed untenable, and the dawn of peace vaguely appeared-until in an unknown Great World, an ignorant cultivation genius invented a 'gadget'." 　　"The name and sect of this cultivation genius is no longer verifiable, and his refining process has long since passed with the wind; modern people call what he created - the Demon God Virus!" 　　"Perhaps his idea was very simple: since there aren't enough fighters, why not invent something that would comprehensively boost the combat power of spirit beasts to fight instead of cultivators-after all, the number of spirit beasts is near infinite!" 　　"He succeeded, and after being catalyzed by the 'Demon God Virus', countless tame spirit beasts were modulated into terrifying killing tools, called 'Demon Beasts' war machines that were tireless, wouldn't hesitate, and wouldn't rest until they died! " 　　"In just ten years, this cultivation genius unified his great thousand world with an army of demonic beasts, and the number of demonic beasts reached hundreds of millions of heads, and the cultivators of the rest of the worlds found out what he had done, and also began to refine their own 'demonic beasts' one after another." 　　"In a hundred years' time, demonic beasts became the mainstay of the cultivator world's civil war, appearing in all corners of the starry sea." 　　"Only, all the cultivators didn't realize two things." 　　"First, the 'Demon God Virus' possesses an extremely strong self-replicating ability and contagiousness." 　　"Second, while the 'Demon God Virus' enhances the combat power of the demonic beasts, it also subconsciously enhances the intelligence of the demonic beasts, and in the last hundred years of brutal bloodshed, catalyzed by a huge base, trillions of demonic beasts counting in trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions were born with intelligence comparable to that of a human being's 'Demon Race'!" 　　"Finally, on the last day of the three thousand years of civil war - the Demon Race awakened!" 　　"As if under the command of a certain terrifying existence, the demonic beasts of all the worlds in the stars and seas rose up against their masters at almost the same time, and the cultivators who had been hiding in mountain gates for hundreds of years were no match for the battle-hardened demonic beasts - not to mention the demonic beasts who had mastered the cultivation techniques of humans! technology of the demon race!" 　　"One spiritual mountain after another was razed to the ground, one sect after another was massacred, and for a hundred years, the Demon Race frantically chased after every cultivator who escaped the net in the sea of stars, and the formerly high and mighty cultivators were like lost dogs, hiding in the dark realms of the sea of stars and the gaps of space and time, terrified and unable to live on in a single day." 　　"The entire 30,000 years since then have been the 'Great Dark Age' of humanity, and in the endless darkness, the demon race has established a huge 'Demon Beast Dynasty', while humans have been reduced to lowly slaves, losing their dignity, their pride, and lost the most precious of all - the power to cultivate and refine Qi!" 　　"Thirty thousand years, exactly thirty thousand years! The ancient cultivation civilization that was brilliant and glorious and ruled the endless sea of stars in the past was like a tower of yellow sand that was destroyed by a shocking wave, leaving no trace of a mark! The descendants of the high level cultivators who were 'immortal' in the past could only rely on the most primitive and powerful reproduction power to maintain the continuation of the race with great difficulty in huge numbers!" 　　"It wasn't until 30,000 years later, at the end of the Great Dark Age, when the Demon Race's internal struggle for power and profit and conflicts continued to sharpen, that humanity got a moment's respite, and under the unremitting efforts of countless Cultivation Geniuses, humanity secretly launched three 'Cultivation Revolutions', establishing a civilization that was very different from that of the Ancient Cultivators' 'Modern Cultivation Civilization System', before embarking again on the magnificent road of Cultivation, the road of revival!" 　　"Under the leadership of the supremely powerful 'Emperor', mankind unearthed a large number of relics of the ancient cultivation civilization, and re-established the twenty 'Origin Sects', and after a thousand years of bloody battles, humanism prospered greatly, and mankind re-emerged as the masters of the Endless Star Sea, and the The modern cultivation civilization has also come to life!" 　　"It has been 10,000 years since the end of the 'Great Dark Age', and a full 40,000 years since the collapse of the ancient cultivation civilization... Now, it's the best Cultivation Century, the charismatic Cultivation 40,000 Years!" 　　When Li Yao was thinking about the last paragraph, a countdown representing the imminent end of the exam appeared in the sky, so he had to give up the idea of continuing to elaborate on the life of the "Emperor", and casually said a few condescending words to hastily conclude. 　　Almost at the moment when the last word floated out of his mind, the whole world collapsed into butterfly-like fragments, and Li Yao was forced out by a strong force, and his consciousness returned to the classroom with a blink of an eye.
