Chapter 1179 Timeline
Jonathan felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the mention of a deity.
That referred to someone who had surpassed the Cavoid Realm and transcended the void.
In Chanaea, a deity was a cultivator who had transcended cultivation.
According to the information in ancient books, when one's cultivation level reached the level of a deity, the laws of Heavenly
Pryncyp in this world could no longer restrain that person.
Upon transcending the void, a deity would travel to the heavenly realm.
In other countries, a cultivator of such was regarded as a god, and these cultivators would head toward the Land of the Gods.
In short, the myths and legends spoken by the commoners from all over the world of cultivation were well-documented.
As a matter of fact, instances of cultivators transcending the void could be found in the countless ancient texts left behind.
What Jonathan knew about had all happened in the past. If one were to compile all the incidents that had happened in the world
of cultivation, one would notice something was amiss.
Although it was rare to see a cultivator transcending the void, such an occurrence would always happen once every few decades
or a couple of centuries. In other words, an incredible cultivator would definitely appear, reign supreme over everyone, and
transcend the void.
Yet, there was no record of such an occurrence in the past six thousand years.
Although some cultivators had gone out of sight, no one had ever witnessed someone transcending the void. It was important to
note that not a single formation could restrain a demigod from transcending the void. According to ancient texts, every cultivator
on earth comprehending Pryncyp would definitely sense someone transcending the void.
No one knew what had happened eight thousand years ago, but the existence of deities seemed to have vanished from the
world of cultivators.
During the first few hundred years, cultivators from all over the world had been cultivating as hard as they could to be the next
cultivator to transcend the void.
However, they soon realized that becoming a demigod was the most a cultivator could achieve.
From then on, some suggested that the Immortal Road had been lost forever, and that eventually led to everyone believing that
was the case.
Just like that, deities ceased to exist in the history of the world of cultivators.
There's something weird about this small world! The Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique existed since ten thousand years ago.
Deities existed then, but no one seemed to have figured out how to create small worlds. Jonathan became anxious at that
thought, so he asked Seboxia, “Seboxia, you existed for over two thousand years, so you must have a huge collection of ancient
texts. Do you know when the first small world was created?”
In both the worlds of mortals and cultivators, an invention could only happen because of the researchers. The creation of small
worlds was a monumental achievement and a milestone in the world of cultivators. How could such a historical occurrence not
be recorded?
Seboxia glanced at Jonathan and noticed that the latter had finally wrapped his head around the meaning behind the existence
of small worlds. “The cultivators who could comprehend the methods of creating a small world were at least in the advanced
phase of Ultimate Realm. These cultivators had achieved the absolute phase of merging with their Pryncyps and begun
exploring the fundamentals of Heavenly Pryncyp. Naturally, these were all well-known cultivators with resolute temperaments.
They wouldn't disclose their findings to get famous. That's why no one knows how the first small world was created. But we know
the name of the first small world known to the public. Four thousand years ago, it was created in a barren land that's now called
North Adrune. Anglandur owns that land now.”
Uh... Jonathan froze when he heard those words. Anglandur? Fehohr was the one who came up with the methods to create a
small world. Yet, a cultivator from North Adrune had created one before everyone else. How convenient was that?
“Wait... North Adrune wasn't part of Anglandur four thousand years ago, no?” Jonathan asked Seboxia in bafflement.
Seboxia glanced at Jonathan speechlessly. “I said that was a barren land back then. Although the mortals from Epea hadn't
discovered that land, the cultivators with high cultivation levels could travel across the ocean. Ingbrookians were already there,
but they were still uncivilized. According to the records in the West Region, cultivators would conduct heavenly trials and various
spell experiments in that area. Because even if they failed, they could still minimize the effect of Heavenly Pryncyp. It's similar to
why people conduct experiments in deserts nowadays.”
Jonathan nodded slightly when he heard those words. With a chuckle, he said, “In other words, the first small world was
discovered in North Adrune, but it was most probably created by a cultivator from elsewhere. I bet that cultivator was from
Chanaea!”
Seboxia took in the smug look on Jonathan's face and said, “It doesn't matter where the cultivator was from. What matters is the
fact that the small world would degrade over time. Four thousand years ago, that small world became an attraction to cultivators
everywhere, and the methods of creating a small world started to spread worldwide. That small world then collapsed
approximately two thousand and seven hundred years ago.”
With a frown, Seboxia continued, “After the small world collapsed, all the cultivators who knew how to create small worlds
gathered and did research. Those small worlds were like their personal backyards. No one wanted their years of effort to vanish
into thin air. In the end, they concluded that the establishment of the small world violated the main world's principles. Thus, the
Heavenly Pryncyp of the main world would constantly attack the small worlds. In other words, small worlds are bound to collapse
after some time. Besides, they also found out that the lifetime of a small world is between one thousand and eight hundred years
and two thousand and five hundred years.”
Upon hearing Seboxia's explanation, Jonathan quickly did the calculation in his mind. Deities disappeared eight thousand years
ago, and the Immortal Road was lost. We found the first small world four thousand years ago, and it collapsed two thousand and
seven hundred years ago. That means the first small world was created five thousand and two hundred years ago! The small
world I'm in is definitely not created by an ancient deity! Based on such a timeline, it's very likely that there was a deity who lived
from before the Immortal Road was cut off eight thousand years ago to five thousand years ago to create this vast small world!
The influence of the outside world must be minimal in this small world. If that deity had a way to hide from the Heavenly Way and
live to see the creation of this small world, he could still be alive!
